The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1223 The Secret of the Royal Family

Under the watchful eyes of Mary, Adal and Earl Schilling, James VIII walked into the meeting hall supported by an attendant.

A rare blush appeared on James VIII's pale face. Although he needed someone to help him while walking, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Father."

"His Majesty."

Mary and the other three stood up one after another.

The old earl stood up straight away and gave up his chair to his friend. After seeing his friend sit down, he said, "Is it because of what just happened?"

As he spoke, the old count looked displeased at the waiter on the side.

He knew his old friend's body very well.

Therefore, he had already repeatedly stated that he would not allow the palace attendants to inform James about what happened in Luldree. Even if he did, he would only select some good news.

"Don't blame him."

"I forced him to say it."

James VIII said slowly.

Then the king looked at Mary with loving eyes.

"Believe in your decision."

"But you must also be responsible for your own decisions, understand?"

James VIII said this.

This short sentence was divided into several times before His Majesty the King said it completely.

"clear."

Mary nodded seriously.

It's not just perfunctory, but it's really understood.

In fact, the underage princess has already prepared herself for the worst.

Looking at Mary who nodded, James VIII showed a smile, and then he looked at Earl Shilling.

"Your Excellency, I have some things that I need to talk to Mary and Adale alone."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After the young earl saluted, he turned around and left the conference hall.

The waiter hurriedly saluted and was about to leave, but was stopped by James VIII.

The old count glanced at the waiter in surprise.

In his mind, no one except Turner could enjoy such trust.

Mary was equally surprised.

But the underage princess did not ask too much. She believed that her father must have his own reasons for doing this.

James VIII took the initiative to explain.

"He will serve Mary in Turner's place."

The old king pointed to the waiter, who saluted Mary again.

The old earl nodded thoughtfully.

He knows a little about the royal family's process of cultivating talents.

Putting aside all factors such as ability, loyalty is the first priority.

And if the other party can replace Turner, he is naturally someone who can be completely assured.

Even, to some extent, the future counterpart will be far closer to Mary than he is.

After all, some secret matters of the Warren royal family that cannot be disclosed to others need to be handled by this palace attendant.

call!

Thinking of this, the old count took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to the other party as a signal.

No jealousy, no dissatisfaction.

The old count knew his identity and...age very well.

If only I were ten years younger!

He will definitely try his best to fight for this position.

And now?

He just wanted to help Mary as much as possible and let the underage girl understand more.

Perhaps, a bit outdated.

But that's all he knows.

The waiter faced the old earl who showed his kindness, and as if he was flattered, he formally bowed to the old earl again in response.

Seeing the friendly scene between his friend, daughter and waiter, the old king smiled happily.

Then he stopped smiling.

"Adal, it's time to tell Mary something."

"I'm not qualified as a father."

"I'm not qualified to be a king either."

"I can be said to be a complete loser. I can't tell her all this, and I don't have the nerve to mention it, so please help me tell her."

The old king tried to speak in a calm tone.

But everyone present heard the trembling in the other person's voice.

The old count raised his hand and put it on his friend's shoulder, giving him a firm look.

"I have everything."

After the old earl said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was summarizing and considering his words. After about ten seconds, the old earl spoke again.

"The Warren royal family has been hiding a secret."

"The last place where the Dragon Sect appeared in people's sight was the Warren Palace. This is known to many people. It is not a secret."

"But the real secret is..."

"The real secret?"

"I thought the conversation we had earlier was very pleasant and candid."

The old count was interrupted.

Qin Ran walked out of the shadows with a proud look on his face.

Seeing Qin Ran walking out, the old count was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.

Don't get me wrong, it's not shame.

But...

anger!

"I knew genres couldn't be trusted!"

"As expected, you are also spying on the secrets of the Warren royal family!"

The old count growled.

"Prejudice is really terrible."

With an arrogant tone, 'Kin Ran' came to Mary slowly and quickly, blocking Mary behind him, completely separating her from James VIII and the waiter.

After doing all this, 'Qin Ran' continued.

"However, you are right about one thing, I have to admit."

"Genre! A genre with many forces and branches is really unbelievable."

"Because, they always use some tricks to perform poorly."

"It's disgusting to watch."

In such words, 'Qin Ran' looked at the waiter with a bit of disdain.

The underage princess became thoughtful when 'Qin Ran' stood in front of her, and after hearing what 'Qin Ran' said at this moment, she quickly pulled the old count to her side.

The old earl staggered and stood beside Mary. The old earl was not an idiot.

Just like what Qin Ran said, after 20 years in the south, even an idiot will become a very smart person.

What's more, the old count himself is a smart man.

has a problem!

There's something wrong with that waiter!

The old earl looked at the waiter standing next to his old friend, his eyes full of anxiety and worry, but he didn't say much. He knew what he should do at this time.

"well."

"There's really no way."

"I originally hoped to use a gentler way to ask what I wanted to know, but unfortunately, he was already unconscious. Even with the support of my secret medicine, it was only a drop in the bucket."

"Therefore, I have to spend a lot of time hoping to get what I want to know through the mouth of the Earl of Adalle."

"but……"

"Another accident happened."

The waiter suddenly sighed.

He stared at 'Kin Ran' and spoke word by word.

"Do the white wolves of the wolf faction always like to meddle so much?"

"Then you wouldn't mind talking to me somewhere else, would you?"

"Or……"

"Are you going to listen to the secrets of the Warren royal family here with me?"

The waiter gave the choice of 'Kin Ran'.

He waited for 'Kin Ran's' answer.

He believed that Qin Ran was a smart person and would definitely choose the most suitable option.

What a cost-effective thing to get the secrets of the Warren royal family at no cost, why not do it?

Unfortunately, at any time, reality is always the opposite of imagination.

The moment he finished speaking, he saw the corners of 'Qin Ran''s mouth slightly turned up, and the contempt and sarcasm in his eyes almost turned into substance.
