Neil Eamon has served the Phelps family for 26 years. Now he is 51 years old, and he is still full of energy to manage everything in the manor for the master.
He is good at calculating, never makes mistakes, loyal to the Phelps family, and at the same time has a hot temper and hates evil, and no one can fool around in front of him.
Eleven days ago, he received a letter from Steward Saber, and hurried to Red Pine Castle. Standing with him was a 13-year-old boy. When he saw Neil, the boy looked tense and trembling weakly. .
Neil ignored him and asked Sabo directly, and the other party answered in the affirmative.
"Yes, the Duke's guards were attacked in the birch forest."
Steward Sabo has not had a good rest for a long time, and now he has received definite news: "The Duke was taken away by villains. I sent many people out to look for it, but there is no news yet."
Neil took off his hat. In this gloomy atmosphere, he was the only one who was not affected, but he was not indifferent, but because of his indomitable spirit.
"When did this happen."
"one day ago."
"What do you want me for?" Neil said with a heavy heart, but he was only a tax collector after all.
Sabo glanced at the boy, and said sadly: "Mr. Neil, all the guards were dead, and some had their heads smashed. The warlocks of the temple must have done it with humanoids, although our majesty recruited humanoids People enlist in the army, but in the final analysis they are still a group of uncivilized savages, they don't care about everything in a civilized society, the Duke may be in danger."
Neil trembled slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
Sabo said seriously: "I want you to be prepared for the worst, because I respect you as a just elder, no one in Wild Yuhai is more familiar with the law than you, if something unfortunate happens, please be strong. "
Neil's eyes suddenly froze. He looked at the boy standing beside Sabo. The old man's eyes seemed to penetrate him: "Master DeWitt."
The boy looked at Sabo nervously, and stammered: "Mr. Neil."
There was no trace of a smile on Neil's old face: "If something happens to the Duke, according to the law, you will be the legal heir of Red Pine Castle."
A surprised smile suddenly appeared on the boy's face, and he quickly suppressed it. He waved his hands and said timidly, "No, cousin will come back, he will..."
But before he finished speaking, Neil spoke again.
"However, I refuse to make such preparations." Neil's eyes were firm, and he slowly put on his hat: "I heard that before a ship is about to sink, the rats on board are always the first to escape, sir, no offense intended, But until the Duke of Austin returns to Red Pine Castle, I will not do anything unrelated to my job."
"Mr. Neil." Sabo said, "Please don't get me wrong."
Neil turned his head, bowed slightly, did not listen to Sabo's explanation, and left Red Pine Castle with a heavy expression.
He has been waiting for news, but there has been no reply.
Seeing the passing of time, the chances of the Duke surviving are getting smaller and smaller. Dewitt, who was originally timid and weak, suddenly swelled up like a balloon. He quickly occupied Red Pine Castle, received guests in the name of the master, and began to prepare secretly. funeral.
As he said, Neil rejected DeWitt. The boy didn't say anything, but not long ago, he sent Neil a dismissal letter with the Duke's family crest on it.
Today was originally the last day for him to deal with tax work. As usual, he calculated taxes, dealt with the aftermath, and worked with the tenant farmers to pile up the taxed agricultural products into the warehouse.
He still handled the huge workload in an orderly manner, but his little servant suddenly ran over to him.
"Mr. Neil, someone came to see you. He said he was the Duke's guard."
Neil lost his head in a hurry: "Duke?"
The little servant looked at the surrounding farmers and reminded him in a low voice: "Yes, it's the Duke."
Neil frowned instantly, feeling extremely angry at DeWitt's presumption. He took off his glasses and wiped them, pondered for a while, and decided to put down what he was doing to teach him a lesson himself.
On the way, the little servant suddenly said, "Lord Austin hasn't been to Neil's Manor for a long time. Is he coming to escape the summer heat?"
"Who are you talking about?"
The little page was startled: "Duke Austin."
So Andy saw the tax officer rushing in, too late to speak, leaning against the wall panting, beating his chest feebly.
"You said you had brought the Duke of Austin's order."
Andy stared cautiously at the old man in front of him, trying to see the doorway from that osprey-like thin cheek, but the other party didn't want to wait for a second, he walked over impatiently, grabbed Andy's hand, and spoke harshly : "Tell me, whose order you have brought."
Andy held back and did not break free, but bowed politely: "I bring the password of Duke Austin Phelps, please prepare two sets of clean clothes for me, and prepare to meet the Duke by the way." Get ready... uh... You don't have to doubt the truth of my words, prepare everything I need, and you will be able to see the Duke in a quarter of an hour."
Neil became even more excited. He tugged Andy by the collar: "Where is the Duke now? I want to see him!"
Andy twitched the corner of his mouth: "He's in your manor, but believe me, my lord, it's inconvenient for the Duke to see outsiders now, except me."
Neil took a deep breath, let go of Andy, and raised his chin: "Julie!"
"Yes, my lord." Julie ran out of the house in a hurry, frustratingly frustrating her apron: "Please tell me."
Neil looked at the ragged young man in front of him, and held back his emotions: "Young man, you can tell Julie your needs, and she will satisfy you."
Andy smiled and said, "Okay, Julie, first I need a clean suit."
"But I don't have clothes suitable for the Duke." Julie said in a panic.
"No, any set will do, in fact I think a larger piece of cloth would have come in handy, but that nasty... Duke insists on being respectable."
"Oh well."
Julie blushed because of the boy's handsome appearance, she nodded immediately, and ran away quickly with her skirt in hand, quickly prepared the clothes, shoes and socks, put them in the basket, and handed them to Andy.
While waiting, Neil has been observing Andy, and the other party allows him to look at him, and his frank appearance does not look like a liar.
Andy took Julie's basket, saluted Neil substandardly, and left his mansion.
"God, he's so pretty."
Neil was helpless to his daughter, his whole body and mind were still in the news he just heard, and said to Julie: "Go and tell the cook and the servants, we must be ready to receive the Duke, and prepare the sticks by the way, If he dares to deceive me, I will let him know the cruelty of the law."
Julie was taken aback by Neil's cold look, she nodded quickly and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
After half an hour.
The little servant hurried into the room, and Neil stood up abruptly: "Is it the Duke?"
"Yes, it's just outside, His Excellency the Duke said he wanted to stay in the yard."
Neil heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his lean and calm appearance. He straightened his neckline and stepped out of the room majestically.
The thick leaves of summer grapes obscured his sight. Neil turned around the vines and the lush violets, and a thin and thin figure turned his back to him, looking up at the heavy grapes on the shelf.
"Lord Duke."
Neil knelt down on one knee, tears welling out of his eyes, and he said with difficulty: "It's great to see you...you..."
"Oh, Neil," said the voice, "the grapes on this rack smell so sweet."
"It tastes sweeter." The voice belonged to the young man who looked ruffian.
"You can't just stuff it in your mouth." The Duke lowered his voice.
"Then I spit it out and give it back to you?"
"Shut up, you disgusting bastard!"
Neil was confused when he heard it, he raised his head and wiped away his tears.
The young lord was pale and thin, with curly long hair hanging loose, and he looked like he was too tired to run around. He reprimanded him with a straight face: "You are too embarrassing, you have to obey the rules when you arrive at the manor."
The young man who came to deliver the message didn't seem very happy. He threw the last grape into his mouth in embarrassment, and bowed to pay respects: "Well, I mean, yes, my lord."
The Duke turned to Neil: "Prepare a bathroom for me and my servants. I need to take a shower, and prepare some food. We will eat after we take a shower."
Neil nodded, and the Duke said, "I know you have a lot to ask. I will allow you to make an exception and talk to me at the dinner table later."
Neil clearly saw that the young man next to the Duke was uncomfortable, so he pulled his face and smiled at Neil.
After washing up, Neil accompanied the Duke to eat, while Andy was arranged in the side hall to enjoy the feast alone.
Austin was a little confused at first, but when he saw Neil, he had to suppress his thoughts. If the old man in front of him, who was so rigid that he was almost mean, knew what Andy had done to him, Neil would definitely take care of Andy regardless of everything. Dee sent to prison.
He was a little worried, so he asked Andy before the meal: "Don't say unnecessary words."
Andy was silent all the way, he looked at Austin, his eyes made Austin a little overwhelmed, and he whispered again sternly: "In short, you are not allowed to say anything, just enjoy the food with peace of mind."
Andy tugged at the bow tie around his neck, very dissatisfied with this suit.
"Yes, my lord." He said politely.
Austin pursed his lips and wanted to say something when Neil's figure appeared at the door. He immediately left Andy and walked towards Neil.
When passing by Andy, the other party obviously took a step back, not to give way, but to avoid deliberately.
Austin's heart skipped a beat.
During the meal, he seemed a little depressed. Neil didn't know why, but he brought up the topic cautiously.
Austin narrated his experiences in short and short terms, and praised Andy's wit and loyalty. Neil had been listening carefully, but finally he couldn't hold back and told Austin about DeWitt.
He thought the duke was angry, and then drove Devitt away, but the young lord took a sip of wine and said firmly: "Neil, you probably misunderstood, Devitt is my good friend, he will not do harm. my business."
