Chapter 1203 Persistence

Count Aidal, who was brewing his emotions and was about to tell Kieran everything, was almost choked by Kieran's straightforward refusal.

"Ahem."

The old man coughed several times in a row. After trying very hard to adjust his emotions, he once again looked at the young man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

His mature temperament has long concealed his childish face, and his words and deeds have almost rigid habits. Even when he is sitting there, his back is as straight as a javelin.

If you didn't look at the face carefully and just looked at the back, you would think you met a middle-aged man with a good background and a well-behaved family.

But the young man in front of him has a restraint that the middle-aged people don't have!

Take a look at the room in front of you.

No young person with any ability would live in a room like this.

Not to mention the guys with good backgrounds.

They may be kind and humble in normal times.

But the arrogance hidden in his eyes is innate, and will show up unconsciously in all aspects, forming a huge gap between him and ordinary people, and inadvertently using it to highlight his own extraordinaryness.

Adal has seen too many such guys.

But what about Qin Ran?

But he was content with it, without the slightest complaint.

Count Adal looked at the other party's indifferent face and eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

Because, he once again thought of Kieran's strength.

He had heard about that kind of powerful strength and had seen it with his own eyes.

One person against one army!

Just standing there and making an army want to retreat is not something everyone can do.

"You are different from ordinary people."

“Whether it’s your peers or people older than you, you’re different from them.”

"The way of thinking."

"Habits of doing things."

"You have your principles..."

"You must have experienced something before, otherwise you wouldn't be where you are now. I'm very curious about what you have experienced."

"However, you probably won't tell me."

The old man sighed slightly.

Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party's words at all.

The old man's guess about him could be guessed by any normal person.

Complete nonsense.

Listening to such nonsense is far more interesting than thinking about what kind of midnight snack Mary would prepare for him.

In fact, Kieran did the same.

Sitting there, his eyes began to show a hint of wandering, and his nose kept loosening.

Kieran hoped to use his powerful sense to smell the food.

The old count looked at Qin Ran's movements and was taken aback again.

He didn't understand what Qin Ran was doing.

But that didn't stop him from continuing.

"Originally, I was a little worried about telling you this secret."

"But your behavior let me know that I was worrying too much."

"you……"

"When stewing meat, you should add more soup."

"A little more heat."

Qin Ran's sudden words caused the old earl's words to stop abruptly.

Even if he was a fool, the old count understood what Qin Ran was doing just now.

"Food really is nothing compared to the secrets I'm about to tell you."

The old count said seriously.

"The secret you are about to tell me is really nothing compared to the food."

Qin Ran answered equally seriously.

Then, Qin Ran turned his head and looked at the other person.

He knew that if he didn't speak clearly to the other party, he would be faced with this chattering old man when he was eating.

In order not to delay the deliciousness of the food, Qin Ran said.

"Thank you for your trust in me."

"But I really don't want to know the secrets of His Majesty James VIII."

"He also has a daughter."

"His daughter is still my friend."

"I'm willing to help my friend, but I don't think this conversation should jump over Mary."

Kieran's very formal tone made the old Earl Adal stunned again.

"Is this the reason for your refusal?"

"Because I jumped over Mary to find you?"

The old earl asked with a hint of disbelief.

"Um."

"Mary and I are friends, so we should respect her existence."

"She has a better right to know this than I do."

Qin Ran nodded.

"But you are more qualified than her to take on everything."

The old count frowned.

"Qualification is never decided by anyone."

"It exists in itself."

"Moreover, it has never exceeded the inheritance of surname, bloodline and will."

Kieran said, stood up and opened the door.

"Mary will bring my midnight snack soon. Do you choose to leave?"

"Or find a suitable time to tell her everything?"

"When I say appropriate time, it definitely does not include when I have late-night snacks."

Qin Ran emphasized.

"What a strange man."

The old count shook his head with a wry smile and walked toward the door.

Two minutes after the old earl left, Mary appeared with a dinner plate. The aroma of the food brought by her made Qin Ran involuntarily get closer, and then he took a deep breath.

"Beef, big ribs and the taste of lettuce and corn."

Qin Ran said with narrowed eyes, with a kind of comfort on his face that ordinary people couldn't understand.

"Stewed oxtail."

"Grilled steak."

"Corn and lettuce chowder."

Mary couldn't help but blush as she looked at Qin Ran who was so close, but immediately placed the food on the only table in the room as if it were a treasure.

And Qin Ran was not polite.

In other words, Kieran never knew what courtesy meant when eating.

Just like when fighting, he likes to focus on offense.

While eating, he was also full of aggression.

Both his own and 'Gluttony'.

five minutes!

Enough food for three people was completely destroyed.

“Better than expected.”

"I never knew you had such cooking skills."

Kieran said with slight surprise.

"Being the heir to Fort Swut, you don't just have to learn martial arts."

Mary picked up the tableware, winked at Kieran, and returned to the kitchen briskly.

It was a surprise for the princess to enter the kitchen, let alone wash the dishes, but for the heir of Swutburg, it was normal.

Kieran looked at Mary's back and couldn't help but smile.

But immediately, he stopped smiling.

Because, he heard a sound of footsteps.

Soon, the old count appeared again.

The other party stood in front of the open door, knocked on the door first, and then said with a smile: "Good evening, Your Excellency 2567."

"I think I made it clear enough."

Kieran's brows furrowed.

He didn't want to get entangled with the old count in front of him.

He doesn't have that kind of free time.

Mary's transformation from princess to queen within 30 days was not something she could do just by looking at it.

"Yes, you made it very clear."

"So, I plan to tell you a secret related to you as a thank you."

"About the Snake Sect."

The other party said, and walked into the room.

The door that opened, then closed.
