Emma was ignorant of what was to come.She is busy with another matter.

Alvin called the police to rescue the kidnapped Sophia and Alice, but only two guards were captured, and the messenger called the lieutenant colonel escaped in time.Alvin felt that it was wrong to tell a lady about these things. When he told Emma, ​​he only said that a few rascals wanted to use Sophia and Alice to blackmail him, and they had been arrested.However, Alvin knew that the lieutenant colonel, who had planned for a long time and lost nothing and lost two of his subordinates, might retaliate.He sent some soldiers to live next to them for protection, and gave Sophia a gun.

After Alvin left, Emma thought about it and felt something was wrong.Although Erwin is not a nobleman, the colonel of the army is not easy to offend for ordinary scoundrels, let alone the matter involves the Kentra family, those guys who only dominate the slums would have such courage?Emma was worried, and asked someone to go to the police station to inquire, and only then did she know the truth of the matter.

Emma went to inquire about Alvin's arrangement again, and felt powerless after listening.Strong combat effectiveness and comprehensive protection are completely different things. Apart from other things, hotels at that time did not have indoor bathrooms. Soldiers couldn't follow them when going to the bathroom, right?Giving Sophia the gun is even more tasteless. Guns have technical requirements. Sophia has never received systematic training. How can she hit a nimble retired veteran after two days of learning?Might as well give her a dagger.Emma doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but it's fine if something happens to Sophia, and if something happens to Alice, Alvin will definitely blame himself.It was impossible for Emma to bring Sophia and Alice home, so she had to send two maids to live with Sophia and Alice, and gave each of them a whistle to keep them within five steps of Sophia and Alice. whistle.

Emma's decision is wise.The lieutenant colonel led people into the hotel in disguise, observed for two days and chose to start when Sophia and Alice went to the bathroom.Sophia was kicked away before she could aim the gun. One of the two maids was knocked unconscious to the ground, while the other cleverly pretended to be stunned, and secretly took out her whistle and blew it vigorously.As soon as the whistle blew, soldiers not far away ran over immediately. The colonel asked his men to go down to delay the time, and wanted to run after picking up Alice.Sophia rushed forward to grab him, but was stabbed several times from behind by one of the lieutenant colonel's men and fell to the ground.She bought a little time with her life, and finally the lieutenant colonel was caught.

What to do after capturing the lieutenant colonel?Several soldiers tended to hand over the lieutenant colonel to the police, which Emma felt was inappropriate.As the uncrowned king of an area, the lieutenant colonel must have someone behind him who has loyal followers.This is not a problem. The problem is that Emma wants to make the colonel give up the idea of ​​​​revenge without disturbing George.

Emma thought for a long time, and finally thought of a good way.

The lieutenant colonel sat on a chair, his hands and feet were chained.The light coming in from the window gradually shifted, dimmed, and finally disappeared.

"Squeak." The door suddenly opened, and a black silhouette that looked like a woman stood at the door.

The lieutenant colonel licked his chapped lips and said with a teasing smile, "Hey, come here..." He didn't finish his sentence, because the candlelight was on, and he could see the woman's face clearly.With emerald eyes and long golden hair that shone brightly in the candlelight, it was Alvin's fiancee, Miss Mackentra.He hid in the crowd and saw Emma once when Sophia stopped the car, and he still remembers it vividly.

Emma put the candlestick and a glass of water on the table. "You got Miss Grace's belongings by accident, and you hired a maid and a little girl to maliciously frame an upright colonel in an attempt to blackmail him for money. Do you have anything else to say?"

Being threatened by such a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse, the lieutenant colonel was not afraid at all, and even found it a bit funny. "My dear lady, this is not something you should be involved in. Is this what your fiancé told you? Hahaha, wouldn't you believe it? He and that young lady's illegitimate daughter are both three or four years old. The maid She looks ugly now, but she was considered a beauty back then, and she might have an affair with him."

Emma said softly: "What I said is the truth. Even if it is not now, it will become the truth sooner or later. I think you still don't understand your current situation. We nobles have many secrets, so naturally we have our own way to keep them. Let me show you."

The lieutenant colonel thumped in his heart.He had heard a little bit about the dark ways of nobles, no matter how hard his bones were, he couldn't bear it.It's better to show weakness first, the noble ladies are soft-hearted, and he can only be counted as an instigator, he will be released after a period of time in prison, and it will not be too late to take revenge at that time. "My dear lady, I shouldn't have thought of your fiancé, please let me go, I don't dare anymore. One of my brothers was seriously ill, and the medicine was too expensive. I was confused... "

Emma turned a deaf ear to it, she did not ask someone to take him out to be tortured as the lieutenant colonel thought, but took out a piece of yellow paper, baked it on the fire, and whispered something in her mouth.The slightly flickering candlelight illuminated her face from bottom to top, making her look extraordinarily pale and weird.As Emma chanted, dark and strange lines gradually emerged on the paper, and finally merged into a strange pattern.

Cold sweat broke out on the lieutenant colonel's forehead, and his Adam's apple slipped. "What's that? What's that?"

The yellow paper burned and was reduced to ashes in a blink of an eye.Emma picked up the glass of clear water, sprinkled ashes in it, and shook it gently. "Something to shut you up."

"You can't, I won't say it, you don't need it, I really won't say it..."

Emma was indifferent, clapped her hands twice, and a servant walked in.

The lieutenant colonel roared: "How dare you! I have hundreds of people under my command. If something happens to me, they will immediately tell about your fiancé's scandal... woohoo." The servant forcefully removed the lieutenant colonel's jaw. I poured water into it.

Emma nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the servant: "Take him away."

The servant bowed deeply. "yes."

The Lieutenant Colonel was taken to an empty, windowless, dark room, where he spent a day of nightmares.He felt fine at first, but gradually he became irritable, talking to himself, and then yelled and struggled until he had no strength. Fever, trembling.

When Emma appeared in front of the lieutenant colonel, he thought it was his own hallucination. He hoped so much that Emma could appear to end his pain, and he had had such hallucinations more than once.

Emma still had the same calm demeanor. "Have you thought about it? Do you want to plead guilty?"

The lieutenant colonel immediately shouted: "Yes! Yes! I am guilty!"

"Very good." Emma smiled slightly. "Now that the medicine has taken effect, you will live in such pain forever."

The lieutenant colonel showed despair. "Please..." After seeing Emma and hearing Emma's voice, he stopped sweating, but the unspeakable pain continued in his soul.If this pain continued, he would rather die.

Emma spread out her palm, and there was a small black pill lying in her palm. "This can temporarily end your pain. I'll give it to you once a month. I don't care if it's your order or not. As long as anything unfavorable to us happens, the supply of this pill will stop."

"I'll never let that happen!" the Lieutenant Colonel assured with a slur of eagerness.

"Very good." Emma nodded approvingly, and handed the pills to the servant. "Feed him."

Before the servant could stuff the medicine into his mouth, the lieutenant colonel couldn't wait to stick out his tongue and lick the medicine into his mouth. Without water, he chewed and swallowed it. He mumbled in his mouth, "Your Kindness and generosity I will remember all my life, and I am your most loyal servant..."

Emma used a lot of unbearable materials in the fake pills, such as muddy hair and the like. She felt nauseous seeing the lieutenant colonel eating so deliciously sweet. "Eat it and rest for two days, and the pain will temporarily leave you."

The lieutenant colonel felt much better after hearing these words, and tried his best to scrape out a little bit of poor literary quality from his brain, and expressed his gratitude to Emma with different kind words.

The first step is successfully completed.Emma made a tick in her heart.After the lieutenant colonel pleaded guilty and went to prison, let the servants bring Kentra's family crest to send some money to the police there, and in about a month, find an excuse to lock the lieutenant colonel in a windowless single room for two hours, as long as the His memories of the day will make him feel miserable, give him another pill when he comes out.Then the lieutenant colonel would be convinced.Emma has no psychological burden to attack the lieutenant colonel.This out-and-out villain has committed countless crimes in the ghetto.

After getting rid of the matter of the lieutenant colonel, it will be relatively easier to deal with other matters.Sophia died protecting Alice, and Emma had her buried properly, as she was a loyal servant after all.Alice’s adoptive parents are almost ready. A priest and his wife have always wanted a daughter, and they gave birth to two sons. Now the wife is in poor health and can no longer have children, so they want to adopt a cute little girl. .Emma checked and found that the couple's character and financial situation are not bad.

The failure of the perpetual motion machine finally subsided, and George, who was overworked, wanted to go back to Yorkshire to rest early.It's not yet the January period for the lieutenant colonel to take medicine, and although there is a maid to take care of Alice, there may be some problems in leaving her alone in London, so Emma will discuss it with George on the pretext of waiting for Alvin to come back. Just stay a few more days.

Just when Emma wanted to write to Alvin asking when he would come back, Alvin returned to London, and the first thing he did was to find Emma.

Emma's heart sank when she saw Alvin's appearance.Alvin's uniform was a little dusty due to the long journey, and his eyes were still bloodshot, which subtly overlapped with Emma's image when she saw him for the first time.Like that time, Erwin bent down his usually straight waist again, but this time he won't say "I'm sorry, I will take good care of you in the future".Alvin was silent for a long time, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Emma sighed.She had prepared for this day, and the long wait had slowed her grief since she confessed to Alvin who she really was. "Would you like to say why?"

Alvin shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't. I'm sorry for this matter. In my life, as long as you ask, I will definitely do it, even if I pay my life." Although the old Earl of Kentra may not be out of respect for the son of the deceased The purpose of taking care of him is to get a loyal subordinate, and let the old butler wait until he is at the end of his life; although the old Earl of Kentra may have wanted to entrust Emma to him at that time, so he asked someone to write back to Grace without telling him. Give up.But the old Earl of Kentra helped him after all, and hired the best doctor for his mother, and finally buried his mother for him. Without the old Earl of Kentra, there would be no him now.Emma knew nothing about it, and Alvin couldn't tell her about her father's mistakes.But after all, Grace died because of the old Earl of Kentra, and Alvin couldn't be with Emma no matter how much he loved Emma.

Something out of the ordinary must have happened.If Alvin felt guilty that Grace died because of him, there was nothing he couldn't say for that reason.Emma made analysis habitually, but soon stopped thinking.Alvin chose to directly propose the dissolution of the engagement, so the dissolution of the engagement is inevitable, and it is meaningless to think so much. "I have no objection."

Alvin said wearily: "Then, if you think there is no problem, so be it. I'll go find George."

"Wait." Emma called Alvin to stop. "What do you want to say to George? You don't like me? You like another lady? Do you want to adopt Alice? Or do you feel sorry for Miss Jones so you can't be with me?" Alvin couldn't say a reason to George No comment, if that's the case, George will definitely propose a duel, but with these bad excuses George will also propose a duel.

Alvin was surprised and a little guilty by her question. "It's all my responsibility..." He really wanted to say one last reason to George, and to some extent Miss Grace did suffer these misfortunes because of him, although this was not his reason for breaking off the engagement .He was sorry for Emma, ​​even if George beat him or proposed a duel, he would admit it.

"You don't have to be responsible alone. There are too many reasons to dissolve the engagement peacefully." Emma walked up to Alvin and gave him a gentle hug. "I wish you happiness."

The author has something to say: The stalk of the little black house has been used badly, please don’t complain, I haven’t found any other more suitable method.

I originally thought it was okay for Alvin to adopt Alice. He has lived in a huge lie all these years. He failed to protect the people he wanted to protect, and he couldn't stay with the people he loved.A responsible person like him may feel better about adopting Alice, and it can be regarded as making up for his previous ignorance and mistakes.However, many little angels think that adopting Alice Irwin will be bumpy, and what they say makes sense. I am a little embarrassed about this matter.

Also, do you want to guess what Emma's reason for announcing the dissolution of the engagement is?
