Chapter 450 Former Friends

…

Renmed has been trapped in the basement of the Elk Mansion for half a month.

He thought he could stop Jacques, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually take action in advance.

"This is today's lunch, please take your time," the long-faced butler Sean handed a plate of sticky food to the side of the cage. It looked like a mixture of wheat porridge and vegetables, and the portion was only about the size of a palm.

"Let me out, you idiot!" Renn overturned the plate to the ground, grabbed the railing and yelled, "Jacques is also an idiot. He doesn't know what he is doing. It's not too late to let me out now!"

The butler shook his head regretfully, took out his handkerchief and wiped the stained shoe surface twice, "If I were you, I would not waste the food that has not yet reached your mouth. The earl has given instructions, so that you can save some money." Please give me one meal a day this week."

"Damn it, didn't you hear what I was saying?" Ren yelled, "This is not about a meal at all. If Jacques is not stopped, he will destroy the Elk family! For the sake of my father, Open this cage quickly!"

Probably because the second half of the sentence had an effect, the housekeeper who was about to leave stopped and said, "Your father? I think if he were still alive, I'm afraid he would expel you from the house immediately." He turned his head, his face expressionless. Looking at Ren with an expression, "Master, you seem to have forgotten that it was the fourth prince Roland Wimbledon who killed the Earl of Elk, and the Honeysuckle family not only joined the prince's side, but also assisted him to suppress the other four major families. At this moment, your My brother is correcting this mistake, but you are so scared that you can be regarded as a knight?"

"You don't need to judge whether I am a qualified knight or not," Ren said angrily. "In the past three years, while I was fighting evil beasts at the Hermes defense line, Jacques would only enjoy his romance in the royal capital. Do you think he came forward to attack the Honeysuckle family now because of his courage? Don’t laugh to death, he was just blinded by profit!"

Sean sighed, "Even if you are Lord Jacques's younger brother, you should maintain the most basic respect. After all, he is an earl and the head of the Elk family."

After saying that, the housekeeper ignored Ren and quickly left the basement along the stairs. When the door closed, silence returned to the ground.

"What the hell!"

The second son of Elk punched the floor hard.

Since the beginning of winter, Jacques has been visiting other families more and more often. He didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, he had no interest in running the family. In addition, Jacques refused to pay the ransom when he was captured by His Highness the Prince for the first time. It took Luo's help to escape from prison, and the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point. Even so, Ren had no intention of competing with the other party for the position of head of the family. When he heard the news that Border Town was planning to build a city, he even considered going to the town to pledge allegiance to the fourth prince and officially become a guardian knight. But the situation changed later. During a private banquet held at the Elk Mansion, he heard the news that the four major families were preparing to unite to deal with Changge Fortress.

That night, Renn rushed into Jacques's study and questioned him about the matter, but was kicked out by the latter extremely displeased. After thinking about it all night, he planned to tell Perot the news first, and then bring a patrol to stop Jacques. Unexpectedly, the other party actually tampered with the breakfast. When he woke up, he found that he was in a cage.

No matter how much Ren roared and warned, he never saw Jacques again. Every day, he could only judge the time through the light and darkness of the skylight in the corner of the basement. The only person he could contact was Jacques' personal butler.

"Gulu..."

There was a long growl in his stomach, and he realized that he was a little hungry.

Looking at the food scattered on the ground, Ren turned his head and lay on the pile of wheat straw behind him. It's better to sleep... He thought to himself, if he fell asleep, he wouldn't feel hungry.

Just as he closed his eyes, footsteps sounded again in the basement.

Could it be...Jacques is here? He jumped down from the haystack, leaned against the railing and used the faint light coming from the skylight. The figure of the other party was small and slender, obviously not the arrogant earl.

"Brother, are you okay?" When the other party came to the cage, he realized that the person coming was actually Aurelion, the third lady of the Elk family.

"Why did you get in?"

"Brother is not here, and those servants can't control me." Aurelion looked at the wheat porridge on the ground and said in disbelief, "They just feed you this? That's too much! Just wait for me, and I'll ask the kitchen to You make something to eat.”

"Jacques is not in the house anymore?" After hearing the first half of his sister's words, Ren's heart suddenly sank, and he didn't even bother to fill his stomach. "Where has he gone?"

"I don't know... he left two days ago," Aurelion shook his head, "and took most of the family's guards with him, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to enter the basement."

It was over, and Ren felt a chill in his heart. He hadn't returned for two days, and today was the third day... Even if he could go out now, it might be too late.

"Brother, I heard that my eldest brother wants to harm the Honeysuckle family. Is it true?" Aurelion looked worried, "Will Lord Perro be okay?"

By the way... the third sister has always liked Pero Hermon, and she also deliberately set up a match between the two of them, but unfortunately that friend seemed to have other intentions. But it's useless to think about it now. Renn sat down softly against the railing, his whole body was weak. According to Jacques's acting style, he will definitely not let go of the Hermon family. Next, the entire Western Territory will inevitably face His Royal Highness's thunderous rage.

Jacques had stayed in the capital for too long, and he didn't even realize what he was going to face... Ren closed his eyes, and involuntarily recalled the day when he attacked Border Town. Flames bloomed in front of his eyes, and thunder continued, rushing towards The knight in front seemed to have hit an invisible wall. His armor was vulnerable to the transparent arrows. The skills he had trained for many years and the courage to fight for honor were all useless in front of the opponent's weapons.

From that moment on, he could no longer think of being an enemy of His Highness.

No one can defeat His Highness's troops, least of all mortals.

If the fourth prince knew what happened in the fortress and swept in again, no matter how much benefit the Elk family gained, what would it be of use? This time... I'm afraid he won't let the four major families go.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Aurelion shook him, but he had no intention of moving at all.

The Elk family is finished.

At this moment, through the thick ceiling, Ren heard a faint roar, and then the ground shook slightly, as if something had slammed into the mansion.

Did you hear it wrong? Ren turned over and saw his sister showing the same surprised expression.

Then there was another dull thunder, but this time it was much clearer, followed by short pinging sounds one after another, and the panicked shouts of servants came from overhead.

Could it be...that the Fourth Prince's army is coming? Renn couldn't help but be stunned, how could this be possible?

"What happened outside?" Aurelion stood up, "I'll go out and take a look."

"No," Ren grabbed his sister's hand, "Don't go anywhere, just wait here!"

"Eh?"

"Listen to me..." He swallowed and said dryly, "There...may be danger outside."

The roar subsided soon after. About half a quarter of an hour later, a group of people broke into the basement. They were wearing uniform brown uniforms and holding strange long-handled weapons in their hands. Renn recognized at a glance that the person who came was the prince. His Highness's troops!

He was completely devastated. He knew that His Highness would take revenge, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Could it be that... this was simply a play written and performed by the fourth prince?

"Who are you! How dare you break into the Earl's Mansion!" Aurelion stood up and yelled.

A tall, strong man walked out of the team. His facial features were sharp and angular, and there was a chilling air between his brows. He looked like a foreigner.

"Are you the second son of the Elk family, Sir Renmed?" the other party said.

"You know, you know, but you still don't back down? What do you want to do?" Third Sister's tone was trembling, but she still stopped in front of the iron fence.

"I am Ren! Don't hurt her...she is innocent!"

Renn thought he was about to see an unbearable scene, but he didn't expect that the other party would completely treat Aurelion as air, and the next words were completely beyond his expectation.

"I am the commander of the First Army, Iron Ax. His Highness Roland has given an order to specifically ask me to come to you," the man said in a deep voice, "He asked me to tell you that Mr. Perot wants to see you." To be continued.
