Chapter 264 The Lost Noble Lady (14)

Duke Heimde Victor, the first duke recognized by the king in this continent, has many legends about him, but the most talked about is his love history.

The young knight made great achievements in the war, and was awarded a duke by the king when he returned home. He didn't have much limelight for a while, but such a man fell in love with a foreign girl of unknown origin.

In spite of everyone's objections, Duke Heimed married a young girl and had a son and a daughter two years later. After having children, Duke Heimed had another new love, and secretly communicated with the queen in the castle.

The affair was soon revealed, and the king was furious, but when the king led the palace knights to attack the duke's castle, he found that Duke Heimed had already died in his wife's arms.

The king and the knights of the order were horrified when they saw the foreign woman's ferocious face, her white skin gradually fading away, replaced by layers of black scales, and her crimson eyes, which were shining in the moonlight like human blood. Then the knights raised their swords and stabbed the woman. The woman's body broke away from the crowd. A pair of black bone wings spread out from her back, and black and red horns appeared on her head. She rushed out of the castle like a wild beast. Duke Heimd, who had been dead for a long time, had his heart taken out, with a frightened expression on his face.

The death of the duke is the devil's revenge. After being pulled out of his heart by the devil, his soul will not be redeemed, and even the treasure he left behind is cursed by the devil.

There are countless people who want to get the treasure, but there are also countless people who died on the road. Only by breaking the demon's curse with the key left by Heimed's descendants can they get Duke Heimed's treasure.

Many years later, the key fell into the hands of Viscount Chris. The upright and kind-hearted Viscount Chris hid the key forever.

Willie, who had the same idea of ​​treasure as Ferrie, took Luo Qinghuan away just to get the key from Viscount Chris. After Viscount Chris refused, Willie became murderous.

Now that Chris was dead, but he couldn't find the key, Duke Willy set his sights on Viscount Chris's daughter, Leah.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qinghuan, who traveled through time, did not receive the memory of the key at all. Of course, he did not know where the key was. After being threatened by Willy to hand over the key, Luo Qinghuan thought about it but agreed.

She told Duke Willy that the key was in the cave behind her father's manor, and Duke Willy immediately decided to take her to the cave the next day.

Only a few people were allowed to enter the dark and damp cave, and Luo Qinghuan was ready to wait quietly for this perfect opportunity to escape.

The moment before being brought back to the room by the deacon, Luo Qinghuan saw Ai Bo, and he pushed open the door of Duke Willy's study with a stern expression.

The deacon watched Luo Qinghuan enter the room and then left. As soon as he left, Luo Qinghuan easily slipped out of the room in the dark.

The Burning Heaven Art perfectly concealed her aura. Luo Qinghuan avoided the eyes of the servants and quietly approached Duke Willy's study.

Duke Willy never allowed anyone to approach this place, so there was no one at the door of the study room. The five senses strengthened by spiritual energy allowed Luo Qinghuan to overhear the conversation in the room without much effort.

"Come to see me, just for this matter?"

This is Duke Willie's voice, which is much lower than before.

"My lord, please allow me."

"As long as she is obedient, I will not embarrass her."

"But……"

"Abel, as a knight, what is your duty?"

"Your Excellency, I..."

"If you don't want to sit in this position, I can let someone else take your place at any time."

A long silence followed.

"Yes—father."

Hearing this address, Luo Qinghuan couldn't help being taken aback, but the sound of walking was already heard in the room, and Luo Qinghuan hurriedly hid behind the flower pot in a hurry.

Ai Bo walked out of the room with a pale face. He walked straight in the direction of Luo Qinghuan. Luo Qinghuan thought he had been discovered, but unexpectedly he stopped suddenly and slammed his fist on the wall.

There was blood flowing down his fingers, and Ai Bo's eyes darkened.

"Oh, stupid."

There was a bit of sarcasm in Abel's tone, he withdrew his blood-soaked hand and was about to leave, when an arm stretched out from his side pulled him.

Before he had time to see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, Ai Bo was pulled to the corner.

……

In Luo Qinghuan's room

"Duke Heimed's treasure, Mr. Abel doesn't want to have it?"

Looking at the frowning man in front of him, Luo Qinghuan took a step forward and approached him. Ai Bo's expression rarely changed. He glanced at Luo Qinghuan coldly and said sarcastically: "Miss Leah, do you know that you What you are doing now is an insult to my dignity as a knight."

"Dignity? Mr. Aibo really knows how to joke, you've never had that kind of thing, have you?"

"I can forget what Miss Leia said, and please keep your mouth shut."

There was a strange emotion in Ai Bo's eyes, but he still turned cold and shook off Luo Qinghuan's hand. Ai Bo, who was about to leave, just walked to the door when Luo Qinghuan's smiling voice sounded again .

"Mr. Abel, this is your only chance."

Hearing this sentence, he hesitated.

From the moment he saw Luo Qinghuan in front of the study, he realized that his secret had been exposed. Every word of Luo Qinghuan pierced his heart sharply. He had to admit that the cooperation she proposed was very attractive .

As long as he cooperates with Miss Leah, he can replace Duke Willy to obtain Heimed's treasure, fame, fortune, and status in his hands. Duke Willie's piercing words echoed in his ears. There has never been a moment like this. Craving these things that disgusted him.

He was shaken.

Looking at Albert's changing expression, Luo Qinghuan couldn't help but curl her lips. She believed that in just a few words, Albert would completely lean towards her.

"Mr. Albert, didn't Duke Willy tell you that the person who gets Heimd's treasure can inherit his title?"

Albert suddenly turned around after hearing this, and saw Luo Qinghuan pretending to sigh, "Hasn't Mr. Albert ever thought about what Duke Willy really wants? He is now the leader of the Glorious Knights, and he lives in a house that is better than the king's." If he also has a luxurious castle, does he still need Heimd’s treasure?”

"Duke Willie, just don't let other people get the chance to be equal to him."

"Mr. Albert, do you really want to give up this opportunity?"
