"……marry?"

Royce subconsciously repeated these two words.

After he understood the meaning of these two words, his body stiffened immediately, as if all the blood in his body froze together.

The smile on Jiang Guo's face became brighter, she rubbed Royce's back, and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm going to get married soon, my uncle loves me so much, he will bless me, right?"

"...Nonsense!!"

Royce's originally quiet heart suddenly became angry. He turned around, put his hands on Jiang Guo's shoulders, and looked into her eyes.

"Cindy, getting married is a very important thing. You can't fall in love with someone in half a month and then marry him."

"Why is it impossible, uncle?"

Jiangguo didn't eat salt, just asked him why innocently.

The look in her eyes was so sincere that Royce was dumbfounded by her for a moment.

"Uncle doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me, so I'll find someone who likes me to marry. Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course not!"

Royce's face was slightly pale, but he was angry but didn't dare to be too irritable, for fear of scaring her.

"Cindy, you will meet someone you like sooner or later, uncle is just..."

Jiang Guo changed his face, pushed Royce's hands away, took a step back, and kept a little distance from him.

"Uncle is really strange. He doesn't want to marry me, and he doesn't want to see other people marry me. Do I want to stay with uncle all my life and never marry?"

"...!"

The girl's calm words seemed to expose some dirty thoughts deep in his heart, and he suddenly felt a ringing in his ears.

It turned out that he... actually thought so.

What does this mean... It means that he also has a different feeling for Cindy? !

Seeing his ugly face, Jiang Guo sat gently on the side of the bed, smoothed her long hair, and continued to speak indifferently.

She lowered her eyes and her face was calm, like a delicate doll, but not like it.

Because she has awakened her own consciousness, and is no longer the obedient and obedient girl in the castle.

"Uncle, I need a husband in name so that I can take over everything in the family."

"If this person is not my uncle, then it doesn't matter to me who he is. I hope my uncle won't stop me."

"It's late now, uncle, please go back."

Royce's already chaotic heart fluctuated with her words.

It turns out that she still likes him...

But she is no longer attached to him, she has even let go.

For the first time, Royce felt that his body was so numb that it didn't belong to him.

Like a walking dead, he left her room and returned to his own room.

Royce stayed up all night, thinking a lot.

He has already decided to talk to Cindy the next day.

But the next morning, she left the castle.

Mrs. Denise said that Cindy went out with Thea, which seemed to be related to the man she liked.

Madam Denise was a little helpless, but also complained happily.

"I am very happy that Angie can meet someone I like. She also seems to be very assertive and can make decisions for herself, but that man really makes me a little worried, and all kinds of troubles continue."

"My lord, you know Angie best. Did you ask her anything yesterday? Even a few words about that man?"

Royce was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that he hadn't asked the man's name clearly yesterday.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Denise, Xin... Angie has grown up, and she doesn't want to tell me about her."

Mrs. Denise looked very disappointed, but she soon cheered up and comforted Royce.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry. Angie is very thoughtful. When the time is right, she will tell us."

"……Um."

The timing is right, is it her wedding to that man?Or maybe when you get engaged?

Thinking of this possibility, Royce felt a twinge in his heart.

He couldn't even control his expression, so he had to bid farewell to Mrs. Denise.

Royce had no appetite for a day, and the weather turned cold. Although it didn't rain, it had a tendency to rain heavily. His leg hurts again.

He didn't sleep last night, he lay in bed all afternoon, half asleep and half awake, his dream was very restless.

It was evening when he finally woke up.

Rodrigo brought him a handkerchief to wipe his face, and brought him some food.

"My lord, eat something, you haven't eaten all day."

"……Um."

Royce knew he was no longer a kid, and no matter what happened, he couldn't make fun of his body, so he decided to eat some.

After eating a third of it, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he stopped quickly.

"Rod, has Cindy returned to the castle?"

When Cindy was mentioned, Rodrigo looked a little unhappy.

He lowered his head hastily and shook his head.

"No, my lord, Miss Cindy seems to have gone to see a friend and hasn't come back yet."

Royce couldn't eat it either, and asked Rodrigo to take the food away.

The pain in his leg was getting worse and worse, but it was nothing compared to the dense tingling pain in his heart, and he didn't even want to pay attention to it.

Cindy hasn't come back yet, where did she go?

He didn't have to think about it, as Cindy must have gone to see that person.

She just came home, where are her friends?

Except that person.

There was only one lamp left in the room, and there was no light, which made Royce feel annoyed.

He was about to get up and light two more lamps by himself, but found that there were no candles in the room.

Just as he was out of sleep, he went out to find Rodrigo.

The castle hall was brightly lit, and anxious voices could be heard vaguely.

"That man is really a villain, how could he send it to the rebels himself, causing Anji to worry about him again, and do such an irrational thing!"

"If I knew it earlier, I should have looked up his identity and said he was a marquis. In my opinion, he might just be a liar who cheated on food and drink!"

"Oh my god! What if that man is sent by the rebels?! My precious Anji finally returned home, so she can't be used by traitors again!"

"But there is nothing we can do now, ma'am, don't worry, Angie will be fine. She went to the city occupied by the rebels alone last time. This time... this time there should be no problem."

Although he said so on the lips, Ganiris himself didn't know it.

The situation is critical now, but if there is an accident, it will be life-threatening.

"Mr. Ganelis, Mrs. Denise, please tell me what happened? Where's the Angie?"

"Master Duke, why are you down, go back and rest, your legs are inconvenient."

Mrs. Denise hurriedly hid her expression and put on a smile, not intending to tell Royce about it.

Royce looked solemn and insisted on asking.

"Madam, please tell me, where did Angie go?"

Seeing that the matter could not be concealed, Mrs. Denise could only sigh.

The rebels had already been driven away, but who knew that their reinforcements came quietly to meet them, and suddenly shot back.

Now that the city next door has completely fallen, the man Cindy rescued before seemed to have left something in the city next door and rushed over overnight.

But he was very unlucky, just in time for the rebels to come back, they immediately arrested him.

"Angie learned about this, took Thea and left, leaving us only a letter saying that she has a way to bring that person back without taking risks, so let us not worry."

"... Ma'am, don't worry, I'll go find her."

"What?! Duke Royce, but yours...!"

"grown ups!"

Royce didn't know if he regretted more or was more angry.

All Cindy wanted was a husband in name, so why couldn't it be him?

For a person she didn't love, she actually committed suicide twice. Does she really not love that person?

Or, she has fallen in love, but she didn't realize it...

All kinds of thoughts were finally suppressed by Royce.

He just wants Cindy to be safe!

As long as she is safe, she can do whatever she wants.
