"Lian, do you really have to do this? They are just a few women. Can't they be driven away or locked up?"

In the room, Donnie said to the other person in a trembling voice.

"It must be done! If they are just ordinary women, it doesn't matter if they are let go, but they are the precious daughter and granddaughter of Baron Sean. If Baron Sean knows that his son-in-law has died at our hands, then not only will your territory inheritance rights be questioned, but your life will also be taken away by the knights under Baron Sean... You should know in your heart how to choose."

Zhou Ming said in a cold tone, telling Donnie that he would break if he was broken.

After Edward's death, he left behind a wife and two daughters who were only three or four years old. His wife was named Fanny, who came from Nathan's neighbor to Glen. Baron Sean and Baron Connor, the lord of Nathan's lord, had a lifetime friendship with Baron Connor, and the two families had a history of marriage between generations.

After Edward and Fanny got married, the relationship between the couple was quite beautiful and gave birth to a lovely daughter, which was very favored by the couple and Mrs. Madeline.

"But, but... I can't do that!"

Thinking of the innocent and cute little nieces, Donnie struggled in pain with his head in his arms.

"You don't have to do it yourself, Snake Girl, you go there, remember not to let them go too painfully."

Zhou Ming gave an order to the snake girl behind him. The snake girl nodded, took out a small purse from her belt, and quietly left the room.

Zhou Ming patted his shoulder and said, "Donny, don't be too sad. Since we have already reached this point, we have no way out. Take a step back and it's a cliff! Forget these troubles and tell yourself that Brother Edward was unfortunately killed when he encountered a thief. Miss Fanny and her two daughters died of plague. They were both accidents. You became the lord of the Glen Corps, but because of God's blessing, you left a single seed for the Burns family (Donny's surname). You originally wanted to be a knowledgeable bachelor."

Listening to these words of comfort, Donnie quickly walked out of his struggle, and he kept hypnotizing himself: "Yes, accidents, it's accidents, it's not that I want to be a lord, I just want to be a bachelor, all of this is God's arrangement for me..."

...

the next day.

A burst of grief cries came out from the corridor on the third floor of the castle.

"Fanni! What's wrong with you?"

"Avril! Louise! My cute little baby, why don't you move?"

"Donny! My heart is so cruel. Why don't you let go of a woman or two children? Is your heart occupied by the devil? Why are you even more cruel than the devil!"

Madreline pounced on the bodies of one big, two little, and three small bodies, crying madly. The servants around her wanted to pull her away, but she was grabbed away with her hands like she was crazy, and no one dared to step forward.

"Snake Girl, why did you let Lady Madeline come out of her room? Send her back to rest. Lady Madeline is too sad now and needs to take a good rest."

Zhou Ming walked over with his hands behind his back. After seeing the scene, he said to the snake girl beside him with an unhappy expression.

"Ryan?"

Seeing Zhou Ming, Madeline suddenly raised her head and glared at him, and suddenly rushed towards him with a claw. After being stopped by several servants, she still stared at him and cursed: "Devil, you devil! Everything is brought by you, you, you, damn devil!"

Zhou Ming ignored it, and didn't even look at the three corpses on the ground, passing by here with a calm expression.

Yes, he is the devil. From the moment those noble nobles who do not give him any chance and do their best to humiliate and frame him, he has become a devil.

A devil who is about to devour all the nobles in this world.

This is just a little interest.

...

After being "sent" back to the room by the snake girl, Madeline went from crying and making noise to the calmness behind, and only took one day to eat and sleep normally, obeyed some activities arranged by Zhou Ming to inspect the territory and appease the townspeople, and even publicly announced that from then on, all matters in the territory and castle will be left to her son Donnie.

After this week, seeing Zhou Ming "relax" his vigilance, Madlyn took advantage of the opportunity to visit Baron Connor, who was increasingly ill, and quietly stuffed an envelope into the hands of Knight Morris in the ward.

"Madame Madeleine, this..." Knight Morris was a little embarrassed and pushed the envelope back.

"Morris, since you became Connor's Knights' Servant at the age of 13, you have served the Burns family for thirty years. Are you not willing to help at the most dangerous moment of the Burns family? Hurry! Take this letter to Baron Sean, and now you can only stop the devil Donny and Ryan."

Mrs. Madeline looked into Morris' eyes and said in a nearly begging tone.

"...Okay madam, I will take this letter to Baron Sean where."

Knight Morris hid the envelope quietly in his sleeve and nodded to Mrs. Madeline.

...

One morning three days later.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the mercenaries guarding the castle gate, Knight Morris took a horse from the stables, and in the name of patrolling the territory, asked the farmers who were guarding the gate to open the city gate, whipped the horse and galloped towards the Nathan leader to the south.

However, just after crossing a mountain and in front of a small slope, Knight Morris saw a figure who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and his heart immediately sank.

"Knight Morris, where are you going?" Zhou Ming asked with a smile while sitting on a horse.

"I have been in the castle for too long and want to go back to the fiefdom to see my family," Morris explained.

"Isn't your fiefdom in the west? Why are you running south? Could it be that you want to go around from the south to your fiefdom?"

"Ryan, you'd better dodge me now, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Morris pulled out the long sword around his waist, not wanting to talk nonsense.

"Knight Morris, you'd better go back to the castle now and fulfill the allegiance you made in front of Master Donny yesterday. There is only one knight left in the Gran Corps, don't force me to take action." Zhou Ming sincerely advised that he still doesn't want to be completely reimbursed for the current high-end force that Gran Corps currently has.

"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!" Morris instigated the war horse and rushed towards him with a sword.

"Boom~"

However, before he reached Zhou Ming, the ground in front suddenly sank, and Morris fell into the pit together with his men and horses.

"kill!"

More than a dozen thieves with crossbow machines in their hands rushed out together, sprinkling a few handfuls of lime into the pit, and then carrying a crossbow machine with strong penetration ability, fired dozens of crossbow arrows coated with venom at Knight Morris in the pit.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff!"

In this way, the only Knight Morris, who was the only one in the Gran Corps, was quite decent in Zhou Ming's eyes, opened his eyes wide and died unwillingly in the trap.

...

After dealing with Morris and returning to the castle, Zhou Ming asked the snake girl to strengthen her activities on Mrs. Madeline and isolated all possible information from outside.

At this time, Baron Connor was almost at the end of his energy. His daily awakening time was less than half an hour, and it was decreasing every day.

Zhou Ming had to seize the time and, together with Donnie, after some discussion, drafted a will for the inheritance of the territory on a blank parchment.

"Master Baron, the Glen Corps cannot be without a lord for a day. You are almost ineffective. Please sign this will and hand over the territory to Master Donnie."

Zhou Ming, who was kneeling on the edge of the bed with a will in his hand, said earnestly to Baron Connor, who was not very conscious.

Hearing this, Baron Conner's eyes suddenly opened and a terrifying light shot out, catching the soul.

But this light was just a reflection of the light before death. Baron Conner also realized this and took the quill handed to Zhou Ming with a trembling hand. His handwriting clearly marked his name on the will.

"Lee...Lyn."

"Here, I'm here." When Baron Connor called out to him, Zhou Ming hurried forward and put his ears over.

"Ryan, Ge...Grandcorn, it's yours. Please... please... don't hurt Donny anymore, just treat it as...my last request, can you answer...will promise me?"

Baron Conner's intermittent words, although his voice was as weak as a mosquito, were clearly transmitted to Zhou Ming's ears.

Zhou Ming looked horrified and incredible.

Although Baron Conner has hardly left the hospital bed in the past three months, he has already seen through all this in his heart.

Even after realizing Zhou Ming's true purpose, he, who had been noble all his life, actually used the word "seeking".

"Yes, Lord Baron, I promise you!" Zhou Ming nodded and said.

"Okay, okay..." Baron Conner sighed, relaxed his body, and then he passed away.
