The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1215 Secret

The rising sun sprinkled warm sunlight, gradually waking up Luldry.

The first civilians to learn of Warren's victory have returned today.

In fact, there were people guarding the city gate last night. As soon as the Luardi City Gate opened, they couldn't wait to rush in and return to their homeland.

Mary stood in the morning sun, looking at the joyful civilians, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She loved seeing this.

But she also knew what was hiding under the sight.

Gang members with ulterior motives.

A person in a mysterious situation.

And those most hated spies.

However, Mary would not stop eating because of choking.

"Register everyone coming into town."

"Their names, addresses, and family members must be recorded in detail."

Mary ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The clerk next to him bowed and acted quickly.

After the clerk left, Mary walked down the walls, boarded a carriage, and returned to Warren Palace.

It was morning and she needed to go to the kitchen.

Qin Ran approached Aida Le's room slowly, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Come in."

After the rhythmic knock on the door came the sonorous voice of the old earl.

However, when he saw that it was Qin Ran who opened the door, the old earl immediately frowned, showing displeasure on his face.

Qin Ran saw this look, but he didn't care.

He can't please everyone.

It’s impossible to cover everything.

What he can do is to do his best to let the people he approves live in safety. If he can be happy, that would be even better.

And the old count in front of you?

It was obvious that he was not someone Kieran approved of.

Therefore, Kieran ignored the other party's expression, pulled out the chair on one side, and sat opposite the other party, with a dining table in between.

On the table lay the old count's breakfast.

Touching the honey, the slices of bread baked until golden, the fragrant milk, and a vegetable.

No eggs and no meat.

It fits the other party's age very well.

"I didn't invite you to sit down."

The old earl picked up the milk, took a sip, and said very bluntly.

"I don't need your invitation."

"You are not the master here."

Qin Ran said slowly.

"Neither are you."

The old count sneered.

"But at least I have no ill will towards the master here."

Qin Ran still spoke slowly.

"Malicious?"

"I don't have it either. Besides, the owner you say is not the real owner. The real owner here is my good friend James."

"She's still very early."

A sneer appeared on the old count's face.

"It's getting late, soon."

Qin Ran responded without changing his tone.

boom!

The old count placed the milk glass heavily on the dining table, and the knives and forks on the table moved back and forth, making a metallic crunching sound.

The angry gaze stabbed Qin Ran like a sword.

Obviously, if looks could kill, Kieran would have been cut into pieces.

But this is impossible.

The old earl did not have such ability, nor did he have such strength.

In the end, he could only retract his gaze and continue to drink the milk in big mouthfuls. Amidst the gurgling sound, the old count kept chewing, as if he was biting the flesh and blood of the hateful man in front of him.

As for the rebuttal?

He had examined his friend's body, and so had the palace doctor.

Years of overwork and sickness, the body has long been hollowed out.

Fatigue not only became the reason that defeated James VIII, but also became the murderer who took the life of his Majesty the King.

What Qin Ran said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it.

But it was precisely because of this that he found Qin Ran even more hateful.

"James, who has pinned his entire country on you, should really see what you look like now."

Said the old count.

This was what James VIII revealed during yesterday's conversation. Kieran had received a detailed conversation process from the high-level evil spirit 'Bloody Mary'.

However, this does not mean that he will admit it.

"It's Mary that he puts his trust in."

"not me."

Qin Ran emphasized.

"Mary?"

The old count frowned again, with sarcasm in his tone.

When it comes to underage princesses, the old earl always has innate discrimination. Kieran doesn't like this feeling. Not only is he a good friend of Mary, he doesn't want to see such discrimination and prejudice, but also because Such discrimination and prejudice always remind him of the extremely unpleasant experiences he has experienced.

So, next, Qin Ran's words became colder.

"Stop your face now."

"You should know who you are sitting here and eating a very good breakfast because of."

"You should thank Mary for her kindness."

"If it weren't for her, your body would have appeared in the gutter."

The words were like a knife, stabbing the old count hard.

Just like the cold wind, it made the old earl shiver.

The difference in strength, even if Kieran only showed a trace of aura, was not something that the other party could resist.

But more importantly, Kieran's words are still the truth!

The old count would never doubt Qin Ran's ruthlessness!

And never doubted that Qin Ran would kill him without hesitation!

The reason why he is still alive is because of Mary. This is an indisputable fact, and it is also the most painful thing for him.

He was saved by the person he despises and despises the most.

Such a fact made the old earl extremely uncomfortable.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The sound of heavy breathing sounded, the old earl's face was red, and his chest kept rising and falling, making anyone who saw it guess whether the other party would explode in the next moment.

"Now you have a chance to repay this favor."

"I wish to know the secrets of Warren Palace."

"Some unpleasant things happened last night. Someone pretending to be the Ape Faction or the Snake Faction entered the Warren Palace, looking for something."

"I don't know much about Warren Palace, and I don't want to find that thing in other ways, so I hope you can tell me."

Qin Ran truthfully told the old earl what happened last night.

"Someone pretending to be the Ape School or the Snake School?"

"The secret of Warren Palace..."

"Could it be?!"

The old earl was taken aback for a moment, his face was puzzled at first, and then the old earl frowned when he thought of something.

Far worse than any previous frown, the brows on both sides seemed to be locked together.

For two full minutes, the old earl didn't say a word.

Qin Ran did not urge.

He has enough patience to wait.

Before coming to look for the old earl, he had already thought of all the countermeasures.

And now it looks like?

Still very good.

The other party did not refuse outright, which is what Qin Ran wanted to see.

After another few minutes, the old count took a deep breath and made a decision.

"I can tell you the secret!"

"But you can't disturb James, nor can you destroy the Warren Palace!"

The other side made their own demands.

"certainly."

Qin Ran nodded slowly.

"The secret is about..."
