On the other side, the guest room.

Benden fumed at Tabitha.

"Why didn't you do what I told you just now? Do you want to betray me? Do you want to die, you stupid woman?"

Benden was furious and slapped Tabitha on the face, causing a red mark to appear immediately.

Tabitha remained unmoved and did not show any fear. She had been wronged and hurt more than this before. It's just a slap, nothing.

"If I die, you won't survive!"

Tabitha spat out the blood stains in her mouth, came to the table and sat down like a noble lady, took a sip of tea and said: "Look at the life I'm living now. Give me whatever you want, no one wants it." You look at me with dirty looks, everyone respects me, why do you think I would do such a risky thing with you?"

Benden laughed angrily, and said sullenly: "Don't forget your identity! Who forged it for you? Your Majesty can give it to you, and you can also take it back."

"Don't say it's you, even I am just an inconspicuous tool under that adult. How he wants me to die is just a matter of his thoughts."

Finally, Benden softened his tone and said: "You and I are the same, we can't resist. Your Excellency has promised us that we will have richer wealth than we have now when things are done, so why bother to cling to the small profits in front of us."

Tabitha was silent.

Benden breathed a sigh of relief. Tabitha was a smart person and would not be confused about the pros and cons.

"Hey, where is that guy? He won't be seen all day long, so don't expose us."

Only then did Benden notice that Jonas was not in the room.

——

Hadey returned to the workshop after delivering the two-handed sword. Ron asked his attendants to come to the front yard to take the two-handed sword to the training ground when Abel returned.

Then he went to the study and warned Egbert, "Keep an eye on them these days, they are starting to panic. Once people panic, it's easy to reveal their flaws."

"yes."

Egbert responded and went to follow Benden and the others.

Ron came all the way to the study and pushed the door open. Joyce had work to do today and was not here, but there were documents neatly placed on the desk.

He sighed, and when he sat down to review the official documents, he found that all the official documents had been completed.

"So fast?"

Ron read it again with some worry and found that Joyce's official documents were reviewed quickly and without any errors.

"Yes, that's right. It seems that the official affairs of this territory can be left to her with confidence. From now on, after she has finished reviewing them, they will be sent directly to the official office, and there is no need to stay in the study."

Ron was pleasantly surprised and Joyce gave him a big surprise. According to the rules, the lord handled government affairs in the official office, but he was used to staying in the study.

With nothing to do, Ron was free and had more time to write entries for the red diamond ring.

The day passed quickly.

That night, the knight captain Abel brought wine to visit Master Hadey, and was finally moved back drunk by Sig and others.

Hadyi showed disdain, "Is this the amount of alcohol you need?"

The knights were very unconvinced, and sent a knight to compete with Hadey every night for drinking, but he always lost to Hadey, which made Hadey even more proud.

He said harsh words, "If any of you can drink better than me, I will spend my own money to build a set of exclusive armor for all of you Cavaliers!"

As soon as these words came out, the knights became enthusiastic. If you want to get the armor forged by Master Hadyi, you must beat him in drinking, which later became the tradition of the knights.

After her day's work, Joyce inspected the mansion and was about to go back to the maid's dormitory to rest. When she first arrived at the door, she found a small black figure wandering around. She was startled at first, thinking that there was a thief in the mansion. After a closer look, she discovered that it was Mei. Litoya.

"Is Miss Melitoya here to see Irene? The lord has something to do with her and will come back later," Joyce said.

Melitoya trembled and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Sister Joyce. I'll wait for Sister Eileen here."

Joyce nodded and walked past Melitoya. When she opened the door and went in, she thought for a moment and turned around and said, "Come in with me and wait. I can tell you a story. Miss Melitoya likes to hear it." What kind of story?”

More than ten minutes later.

When Irene returned to the room, she was surprised to find Melitoya lying on Joyce's quilt, while Joyce was holding a book and telling her a story.

"Sister Erin!"

Melitoya was extremely happy to see the most familiar sister Irene. Although Sister Joyce is also very kind, she always tries to persuade her with various reasons, and finally gets into bed in a daze and listens to her stories.

This made Melitoya a little scared.

Erin smiled and touched her head and asked Joyce, "What story is Sister Joyce telling? I want to hear it too."

"The Legend of the Princess."

Erin frowned and muttered to herself: "I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it for the moment."

"Has Sister Erin heard this story too?"

Melitoya's eyes lit up with curiosity, and she asked: "Sister Erin, did Princess Olivia finally sit on the throne? Have those who bullied her been punished?"

Olivia! It's that book!

Irene was shocked and asked Joyce quickly: "Isn't this the book I bought from Master Hadey? It contains the royal secrets of Olivia's empire!"

Joyce nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "We can't say that we were all deceived by Master Hadyi. He is also a victim."

Irene was puzzled. Melitoya looked at Irene and then at Joyce, silently.

She didn't understand, but was shocked.

Joyce explained: "This is just a story that can be found everywhere. I don't know who compiled it, but he dared to write random things about Olivia's royal family."

"Written randomly?"

Joyce glanced at Irene and nodded: "Yes, the protagonist in the book is the emperor's unfavored ninth princess, named Amelia. Although she was of noble origin, she was not favored by the emperor because of the emperor's indifference. She was bullied by other princes and princesses.

Amelia's mother was just the daughter of a duke in a small country. She was arrested because her family offended the emperor. She stayed in the oppressive palace and was depressed all day long. She died of illness when Amelia was 8 years old. "

Finally, Joyce closed the book, "Although it is clearly written in the book, it is only in the book. As far as I know, the Olivia Empire does not have a ninth princess. And no matter how small the kingdom is, a duke's family When a daughter is captured by the emperor, there will always be some commotion, but I asked Master Hadyi, who has been traveling abroad for many years, and I have never heard of this happening in any kingdom."

Irene was shocked by Joyce's speculation and looked at her with admiration. She couldn't help but clapped her hands, and Melitoya also followed suit.

Joyce glanced at Irene in shame and continued to tell Melitoya the story of the princess. Irene asked her to start from the beginning.

"Forget it, it's just the beginning anyway, so I'll tell it again." Joyce couldn't win over Irene and started from the beginning of "The Princess".

"In a palace that no one cares about lives a princess."

While talking, Melitoya fell into a drowsy state and soon fell asleep. Joyce stopped after noticing.

Irene was listening with interest when she noticed that there was suddenly no sound, and asked anxiously: "Why did you stop? Sister Joyce continued talking."

Joyce pressed down the quilt for Melitoya to prevent the wind from entering. He glanced at Irene on the other side and said nothing.

Irene realized it was so late. She looked at the sleeping Melitoya and said, "Little Melito is even more pitiful than the princess in the story. She lost her mother at such a young age. Every morning when I go to her room, I find Her eyes were swollen, her face was covered with tears, and she was still calling her mother."

She sighed and said: "Actually, I know that she doesn't show much concern in front of us, but she is afraid in her heart."

Joyce was silent.

Erin spoke for a while, and Joyce's voice came, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Eileen nodded and asked: "Sister Joyce, let little Meili sleep with me. You have worked all day today and the child is not sleeping well. Don't disturb your rest."

"No, just go to sleep."

Joyce said calmly.

——

After that night, Melitoya would come and listen to Joyce's bedtime stories. After she fell asleep, Irene would carry her back to the bedroom. It was not good for little Melito to sleep in the maid's dormitory all the time.

If the head maid Diana finds out, she will inevitably be scolded.

A small balcony somewhere in the mansion.

"This is the movement of the three of them in recent times. Mr. Egbert has sorted it out and asked the lord to take a look."

Ron stretched out his hand to take it, and quickly scanned the ten lines at a glance, and quickly understood it.

Benden had been wanting to go out, as if he wanted to send a message to someone outside, but Ron specifically refused to allow it, just to temporarily cut off their message transmission.

In this way, the 'Black Crow' organization that was previously identified as the party behind the scenes may take action and cause chaos in the territory to attract his attention.

Contrary to expectations, Ron had sent Abel to keep an eye on him for so long, but he still hadn't reached the Black Crow Organization.

Is it wrong to guess that the Black Crow Organization is not working with the person behind the scenes?

Not much has changed on Tabitha's side, other than acting more like a lady. . .

"Jonas often goes to the training ground to ask for sword skills?"

Ron frowned, very puzzled by Jonas's approach. They had ulterior motives for coming to the Baron's Mansion, and Jonas used the identity of the illegitimate son of the previous Baron. Isn't this approach too eye-catching?

Or is his goal to attract attention?

Did Benden or Tabitha ask him to do this?

Ron had no idea for a while, thinking that it would be much easier if he came up with an entry about a detective or a genius mind.

There is always only one truth!

Putting back his wandering thoughts, Ron dismissed the attendant who had brought the letter, took a sip of tea and got up to go to the training ground.

The training ground was on the north side of the mansion, and Ron could hear the commotion at the training ground from afar.

When I got closer, I didn't see Jonas. It seemed like he wasn't here today.

"The lord is here!"

Someone shouted, and the knights looked towards Ron and immediately gathered around.

"Lord Lord!"

The knights saluted Ron in unison, their loud voices almost breaking his eardrums.

"Yes, very good. It would be better if the voice is not so loud, otherwise your lord will become a deaf lord."

Ron made a harmless joke, and then asked with a smile: "I saw you were very happy just now, what's going on?"

"Lord, we are discussing to tell you! Siegel has broken through to the second level knight today!" Ibuprofen patted Siegel heavily on the shoulder and said first.

"Oh? So fast!"

Ron looked at Sig in surprise, making him giggle. Ron reached out and patted Sig's shoulder, and a screen appeared.

[Silver Two Stars]

【Sig】

[Favorability: 91 (sincere heart)]

[Entry 1: A blessing in disguise (white)]

[Entry 2: (none)]

——

He is indeed a second-level knight. Entry 1 has not changed, it is still the same one.

After breaking through the second level, just as he expected, there was an additional entry card slot, but no new entry attributes appeared in Sig.

Whether it's because he has no potential or for other reasons, Ron doesn't know yet.

Ibuprofen envied: "This guy Sig has broken through to the second level knight at a young age, faster than Captain Abel. I remember you are only 21 years old this year, 5 years younger than me."

As he spoke, the palm of ibuprofen fell heavily on Sig's shoulder.

"Just tell me, why are you still beating me? I'm a second-level knight now. You couldn't beat me before, so be careful if I beat you!" Sig straightened his back and said proudly.

Thomas Knight sighed: "It's indeed an exaggeration. I remember that Sig's fighting spirit training should be still some distance away from the second level. Why has it improved by leaps and bounds recently?"

Thomas is the oldest of all the Cavaliers at 36 years old.

He was injured a few years ago and has never been able to break through to the second level. However, he has rich experience and it is not difficult to see the progress of Sig's practice.

As soon as he said this, all the knights present looked at him, hoping to learn the secret of breakthrough from him, and Ron was no exception.

Sig touched his head and said with a smile: "I don't know why. I haven't done anything else recently. I just followed the Lord's instructions and have been cutting down trees. I was also cutting down trees when I broke through. I was scared at that time. It took a jump."

Victor suddenly realized, "It turns out that the secret to breaking through to the second level is to chop down trees!"

Ibuprofen slapped it over and said, "You idiot, it's so easy. Will Captain Abel tell us?"

Everyone could only think that Sig was lucky and sighed.

And Ron was thoughtful and thought of Sig's first entry attribute - [a blessing in disguise]

Although this entry is only of white quality, it has a very special ability.

When you lose something actively or passively, you will get something of similar value.

This newly acquired thing may be better than the original one, or it may be worse.

Ron asked: "Sig, have you lost anything recently?"

Sig was stunned by this question. He touched his head and said, "Lord, what do you mean? I have been staying in the house, so I went outside to cut down trees. At most, I brought an ax for cutting trees. Lord Sir, I promise you haven’t lost it!”

Ibuprofen slapped him again, "When the lord asks you a question, answer it honestly and don't ramble."

Sig glared over, this guy must be jealous!

When the lord leaves, you must make him look good and let him know that it is only right to have a big fist in this world! (Except the lord.)

Nothing was lost?

Ron thought for a while and then asked: "Have you felt any discomfort in your body recently? For example, headache, stomachache, etc."

He was a little worried that Sig's strength was obtained from Krypton's fate.

When asked by Ron, Sig always felt panicked in his heart. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his body, otherwise the lord would not ask such a question!

"I don't feel any discomfort. To be honest, my hair has been falling out a bit recently."

Sig touched his head again when he was nervous. Ron was slightly startled and his eyes moved to the top of Sig's head.

Well, it's sparser than before.

Now, Ron finally knew where Sig's strength came from.
