Lei Shidong thought to himself, the saint and Lilica seem a bit difficult to deal with, but Helena should still be able to be taken down by him, right?Why don't you try taking the Helena line?

33. Kane's countdown to offline

When Langdon returned to his new mansion after the meeting, he found that the atmosphere in the house was inexplicably impetuous.

The maids came to greet him, changing his shoes, unbuttoning him, and taking off his coat. They were much more active than before, which made Langdon a little puzzled.

When he returned to the study, he found that the old butler was not in the Duke's mansion, but came to him instead.

Because he, the Duke Langdon, does not live in the Duke's mansion but finds another place outside, it seems that some people in the Duke's mansion are unstable, and he is also worried that Helena will find trouble, so the old housekeeper is held by Langdon in the Duke's mansion. Dinghaishenzhen, she would not take the initiative to come here without being summoned.

Seeing the old butler suddenly, Langdon subconsciously thought he was called by Helena, and asked casually, "What's wrong with Helena?"

Who knew that the old butler bowed deeply: "Duke, the person sent by the Principality has arrived."

Langdon suddenly realized.

No wonder, then this really requires the old butler to come forward.

Although Langdon is now a duke, he really doesn't have enough manpower in the imperial capital, most of them are in his territory.

The size and number of people in the Duke's territory are already comparable to a medium-sized country. Of course, it can't be near the imperial capital, so it will take a while for Langdon to call someone over.

But don't worry about how long it took, as long as it's here.

"Then you can arrange it."

The old butler asked, "You mean?"

Langdon said calmly, "Replace everyone except you, me, and Helena."

He has made this decision for a long time, but it has been impossible to implement it because no one came.

From the fact that he moved out of the Duke's mansion to avoid Helena, but Helena was still let in by these people today, it can be seen that they are actually more obedient to Helena than he, the Duke.

Nor is it a completely incomprehensible development.

If Helena hadn't insisted on following him to the imperial capital in the name of taking care of him, he was usually at school and would go back to the Duke's mansion during holidays. Even if he didn't show up often, he was the only master who needed to serve.

But the reality is that he used to be at school most of the time, and Helena was the one who gave them orders all day.

Not to mention his father who didn't care about anything, he was far away in the Duchy of Stuart, and he had delegated too much power to Helena, so the people in the imperial capital couldn't please his father, so they started to please Helena who was close at hand Na.

Over the past few years, they have become used to it. Even if Langdon is the Duke now, they are always subconsciously afraid of offending Helena.

Langdon knew that these people had no malicious intentions, but they would not be able to react for a while due to Helena's years of deterrence, and maybe after a while they would be completely obedient.

But he wasn't going to wait.

Anyway, these people still have jobs when they return to the principality, and he has no relationship with these people, why can't he choose a solution that makes him more comfortable?

Hearing Langdon's words, the old butler immediately agreed.

This is what makes him different from those ordinary maids and servants. When Langdon first took over the job, he didn't want to ask Helena for help. .

"But there is a problem right now." The old housekeeper said hesitantly.

Langdon nodded lightly: "But it doesn't matter."

"Yes, after Miss Helena returned home, her condition became serious, and she had a high fever..."

The old butler was tactfully reminding Langdon that if Helena found out, Helena might have trouble again.

People who are sick will become more sensitive and vulnerable than usual, and their emotions will be more hysterical due to illness.

Perhaps it would be better for now to slow down the replacement plan for the Duke's mansion.

Langdon frowned: "Did she have a high fever again? That's why I told her not to run around..."

Is Helena's body so fragile?In the past, I stayed up late and worked overtime for several days, but during the day, I was in good spirits, as if nothing happened.

But the old butler would not cooperate with Helena to deceive him - the old butler belonged to his mother and the former duchess, and he would be more inclined to his mother's biological son than the Stuart family.

Langdon bowed his head in thought.

The old butler quietly stood aside, waiting for the former young master, now His Excellency the Duke, to make a decision.

He saw Langdon sitting gracefully on the chair, leaning slightly, propping his face with one hand, tapping the armrest rhythmically with his index finger, and frowning.

The old butler almost thought Langdon was going to soften his heart.

He watched Langdon grow up by the old lady's side, and knew that Langdon had been a soft-hearted and emotional person since he was a child, and it was this excellent quality that made him always the one who was hurt.

Miss Helena's illness may not be at the right time this time...

The old housekeeper sighed.

As a result, Langdon thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's a problem. Helena has a high fever. Doesn't it mean the timing is right?"

The old housekeeper: "...???"

Langdon said as a matter of course: "Let the doctor prescribe medicine, find a way to let Helena sleep for a few more days, leave some familiar people to feed her, and withdraw later... During this period, complete the replacement of other personnel, can it be done?" ?”

"Of course, please leave it to me."

The old butler subconsciously obeyed the order before realizing what Langdon had said.

He was surprised and moved.

Young master... No, Your Excellency the Duke, it has really changed.

Resolute and decisive, if this is the case, even if he is sent back to the Principality later, he can rest assured and report at the tomb of the old master—the father of the Duchess—that his grandson has gotten rid of the influence of the Duchess, Grow into a qualified duke.

Langdon was very satisfied with the old butler's attitude: "Very well, let's do it."

The old butler bowed deeply and stepped back.

He returned to the Duke's mansion by car, thinking about the replacement.

When passing by the gate, the old housekeeper saw a certain figure wandering nearby, and couldn't help but secretly sighed, feeling that Langdon's forceful order to remove everyone was really necessary.

He beckoned and called a guard who had just come from the Duchy of Stuart.

"Go, drive that man away," said the old butler. "He used to be the duke's squire, but he has annoyed the duke. Don't imitate him."

The guard lifted his spirits, knowing that this was a warning as well as a reminder, he immediately took the order and left.

He didn't have any friendship with that sneaky person, and when he came up, he ignored the other party's insistence on declaring his identity, directly drove him away, and decently reprimanded the guard who was supposed to be in charge of driving him away.

These people are really stupid!

At any rate, he stayed with the duke in the imperial capital for so many years, but instead of listening to the duke, he insisted on listening to an adopted daughter. That's why they were given a chance to those who are far away in the Principality of Stuart!

Even the simplest guards can have problems, and they are embarrassed to drive away when they see someone they know, and the old housekeeper has to send him to do this job...

Ha, he doesn't know Kane, what happened to Baron Grant's son?His master is the Duke of Stuart!It's a beautiful idea for a servant who is bored by his master to dare to see Miss Helena!

The person who was driven away was Kane who lost his job and was forcibly expelled from school. He dared not go back to his hometown and only dared to dawdle in the imperial capital.

He came this time because he felt that there was no reply to the letter, and Langdon might have intercepted it. He planned to come to the door and ask Helena to help him, but he didn't expect to be driven away before he even entered the door.

Damn it, he has been running the Stuart family for many years, and most of the people around Langdon have a good relationship with him. As a result, he doesn't know the person who drove him away just now, and it's not easy to get close to him...

Kane walked away depressed, even in order to save money, it was not easy to call a carriage.

At this moment, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Hello, I think you are coming from the direction of the Duke of Stuart's mansion?" A handsome girl suddenly stopped Kane, "I remember your name is...Mr. Kane?"

Kane forced himself to smile: "What's the matter?"

The girl hesitated and said: "Yes, it is like this. I was once forced by my mother to go to the Duke's mansion to accuse His Excellency the Duke of molesting me. I didn't expect Miss Helena to take it seriously without investigating... This matter is in my heart." I have been very sorry, enjoying the benefits of deception almost suffocated me..."

"——So, I want to personally apologize to His Excellency the Duke. Even if I am sentenced to death, it would be a relief... Are you the Duke's attendant? Can you convey it to me?"

【There will be updates at night】

[ps: It's not a misunderstanding, I'll hit Kane in the next chapter]

34. The Flower Girl and Langdon (plus more)

With a thought in his mind, Kane opened his mouth and agreed: "No problem!"

He had no memory of this face, so he probably wasn't someone he arranged, so even if he told Langdon, he wouldn't be exposed.

It just so happened that he needed a reason to meet Langdon right now.

Originally, Langdon only alienated him because of that damn prophecy. As long as he proves that he is useful to Langdon, maybe Langdon will change his mind.

And Langdon would be very happy to be able to clean himself up in front of Helena, right?

As a great hero who helped Langdon, even if Langdon refused to let him return to his original position, he should at least give him some money, right?

The girl laughed: "It would be great if you agreed...ah."

Her smile narrowed a bit, and she looked behind Kane with some fear.

Kane turned his head and found that the new guard from the Duchy of Stuart who had driven him away just now turned back on his horse.

The new guards are different from those who walk through the back door like Kane. They are serious knights. Like the guards at the door, they have muscles and faces that dare not approach at will.

"What are you still doing here?" The new guard looked at Kane vigilantly, "You are no longer a member of the Stuart family, don't wander around!"

The girl was very surprised when she heard this.

She had seen this attendant named Kane in front of Master Langdon who had not yet become a duke?

Just because she had an impression of Kane's face, and because those guards were so fierce, as a commoner, she didn't dare to get too close to the Duke's mansion, and only dared to go around the outside, so she asked someone who didn't look so fierce Kane...

Turns out he wasn't from the Stuart family?

Then what happened to the promise to help her with the message?

Kane smiled apologetically at the new guard: "I'm not messing around, I'll leave right away, I have business to do now..." to find Master Langdon.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl who felt that something was wrong.

"He...he just promised to help me bring a message to His Excellency the Duke." Although the girl was uneasy, she still asked firmly, "Isn't he really from the Stuart family? I thought he belonged to His Excellency the Duke." The attendant asked him to..."

The new guard felt that he understood, and gave Kane a contemptuous look.

He felt that the guy was hesitant when he left just now, and he didn't look like he would leave readily, so he simply came out to check the situation before reporting to the old housekeeper.

In the end, this guy actually wanted to deceive the ignorant girl in the name of the Stuart family!

Fortunately, he was smashed!

"He has been fired by His Excellency the Duke." The new guard said, "What do you have to say to Your Excellency the Duke?"

The girl hesitated for a few seconds, but said it again.

The new guard's expression became serious: "I have to report such a big matter."

In fact, he was already happy.

This is a crime that can be punished by death, and it also involves the internal disputes of the Duke's family, as well as the former attendant who was dismissed by the Duke... No matter how you think about it, it is worth reporting to the Duke in person.

He would probably be the first person from the Principality to see the Duke himself!Maybe this credit will be remembered by the Duke, and it will be reused immediately!

The new guard didn't listen to Kane's justification, and directly tied Kane up under the name of "person pretending to be the Stuart family", and then went back to the Duke's mansion to report to the old housekeeper, and after approval, he led the people to approve The carriage drove to Langdon's new residence.

Langdon didn't know what was going on when he heard the notification from the servants: "Didn't the old butler just come home, why did he send someone here so soon?"

While wondering what happened again, he opened the old housekeeper's explanatory letter with a letter opener.

Shalltear was also in the study at this time, processing documents at work, and when she looked up, she saw Langdon's expression gradually change from surprise to indifference.

She guessed that it should be a matter of Langdon's family, and tried to persuade herself not to stretch her hands too far, to be a good partner, and endured the words of inquiry, and asked tactfully.

"Do you need me to avoid it?"

Langdon came back to his senses: "Ah, it's okay, I just didn't know how to explain it before, but this time is an opportunity... let them come in."

After a while, the three entered Langdon's study.

One of them, dressed as a guard, pushed Kane to the ground and made him kneel down, then stared at another girl kneeling down, and finally knelt down on one knee himself, saying hello to Langdon: "Salute to you, Your Excellency the Duke."

Langdon nodded, motioned him to stand up, and then said to the girl kneeling below: "I already know the situation, but I still want to hear from you personally."
