Come to another world and become a lord

Fortunately, not long after the two of them walked out, they happened to run into an elderly knight who was on duty in Grey Castle. The two of them bumped into each other head-on, and the latter looked at the guard with a vigilant look, and then focused his attention on Selena:

"Ms. Selena, where are you going?"

Selena knew this knight, his name was Lauren, and it was said that he had followed his father since he was young, and had fought together for many years. He was considered an old man in Greyburg and one of his father's most trusted people. The two were not only master and servant, but also friends. Facing such a senior, she did not hide anything:

"Lord Lauren! I just received a notice that my father is critically ill!"

"Critically ill? Who said that?"

Lauren looked at Selena with a doubtful look on her face. She nodded at the guard beside her, then glanced at the guard and asked bluntly:

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I, I am Lord William's subordinate." The guard said in panic.

"He was sent by my cousin. What's wrong, Lord Lauren?" Selena said from the side.

Knight Lauren once again looked at the guard suspiciously, and then said:

"I understand. Go tell William that I will accompany Miss Selena to see Lord Henry."

"But..." The guard immediately showed hesitation on his face.

However, Knight Laurent's attitude was extremely firm. He shouted loudly:

"Didn't you hear what I said? Back off!"

"Yes Yes……"

Watching the guard leave hesitantly, Lauren suddenly came close to Selena and said in a low voice:

"Miss Selena, I think this is a bit strange. Sir Henry has always been in good health. He was very healthy when he set out. How could he suddenly become critically ill?"

"But just now, my maid also told me that she saw my father coming back in a carriage, led by my cousin," said Selena.

"Carriage..." Lauren muttered thoughtfully, "Did your maid see Lord Henry in person?"

Selena shook her head:

"No, but she saw her cousin."

Then she looked up at Knight Lauren in confusion:

"Lord Lauren, you are not doubting your cousin about anything, are you?"

"That's not the case," Lauren said. He paused and looked at the sword at his waist. "But to be on the safe side, please allow me to stay with you."

"Well... then I'll trouble you, Lord Lauren~" Selena nodded to express her gratitude.

In the dim room, Henry's body was placed on the bed, surrounded by soldiers brought from Candle Castle. William sat by the bed and waited anxiously until the door was knocked open and Selena rushed into the room:

"Cousin... I came here because I heard that my father was not feeling well. How is he?"

"Cousin~"

William stood up excitedly, but saw Knight Lauren beside Selena. For a moment, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and then he quickly returned to normal, pretending to be sad and said to Selena:

"Uncle...you should just look at it yourself~"

Looking in the direction William pointed, Selena saw her father, Baron Henry, lying quietly on the bed. He was already dead, and the big hole in his heart pierced by the sword was extremely eye-catching.

Father is dead? For a moment, Selena felt dizzy. If Lauren hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground. Finally, she almost lost control of her emotions and screamed:

"Father, father! How could this happen? What on earth is going on?"

"My uncle was assassinated by gangsters on his way back!" William continued, pretending to be sad and angry.

"What? Assassination?" Selena looked at William in a trance. She couldn't believe such a thing. In her impression, her father had no enemies with anyone. He was just an ordinary baron, ruling over a territory of ordinary size which was not too rich. How could he be assassinated suddenly?

It was Knight Lauren who asked first:

"Do you know who did it?"

The old knight's hands were now clenched tightly into a ball, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

William raised his head and tried to squeeze out a few tears, but failed in the end. In the end, he could only symbolically wipe the corners of his eyes with his hands and said:

"It's Carl! He killed my uncle!"

"Karl? How... is this possible?" After hearing this, Selena took a step back in disbelief, "He, he has no reason!"

"Reasons? There are reasons~" William continued, "Your uncle had already agreed to marry you to him, so he killed your uncle. After that, as long as he marries you, he can become the actual ruler of the Greven Valley."

"No, that's not right. It wasn't Lord Carl who did it. The motive you gave doesn't make sense!" Selena suddenly shook her head and said. She tried her best to calm herself down and think about the possible situation.

"Cousin, don't you even believe what I say? I'm your cousin!" William shouted impatiently from the side.

"No, it's not that simple. Besides, I know Lord Karl well, he wouldn't do that kind of thing!" Knight Lauren added.

After hearing his words, William immediately started cursing:

"Shut up! You are just one of my uncle's men. What qualifications do you have to speak here?"

"Cousin, Lord Lauren is the most senior knight in Greyburg and father's best friend!" Selena immediately scolded him after hearing his words.

"I..." These words directly made William speechless. "I just don't want an outsider to talk nonsense here. If it wasn't Karl who did it, who else could it be?"

Selena thought for a moment and suddenly said:

"If my cousin believes this, why don't we ask Lord Carl to come and confront him? If Lord Carl can come, then everything will be revealed. With his wisdom, he will definitely be able to find out who the real murderer is! Yes, let's do this!"

As she was about to go out, she was suddenly stopped by the guards.

"Cousin, what are you doing?"

William said nervously:

"Cousin, you can't go to Karl. Since he killed my uncle, he will definitely murder you. For your safety, I ask you to stay in your room from now on."

"What?" Selena looked at William with almost disbelief, but soon she suddenly realized something and her eyes became sharp.

Knight Lauren also put his hand on the hilt of the sword at this time, and stood in front of Selena, saying to William unceremoniously:

"William, now that Lord Henry is dead, Lady Selena is the legal lord of Graven Valley. You have no right to decide what the lord should do."

"Hmph~" William snorted and then gave a look.

At the same time, the soldier closest to Knight Lauren suddenly swung his sword and stabbed straight at the knight's throat. Lauren reacted quickly and dodged sideways.

But he was still careless. Although he had noticed William's bad intentions, he really didn't expect the other party to attack directly. This also caused him to dodge in time. Although he avoided the fatal attack, he was still stabbed in the left shoulder. The sword penetrated three points into the bone and the injury was very deep. But the old knight was also a veteran after all. Before the other party could draw his sword, he had already grasped the other party's hand. At the same time, he quickly drew out his sword with his right hand and stabbed it towards the other party's neck! The sword pierced through the roar, and the technique was clean and neat. The soldier couldn't even make a sound when he fell down. Then, he didn't even bother to pull out the long sword that pierced his shoulder. He directly hit the guard blocking the door with another elbow with a lightning speed, which directly knocked him staggering and gave way. Taking advantage of this gap, he grabbed Selena behind him, and then pushed towards the door, pushing the girl out of the room, and then directly blocked the door and shouted:

"Run!"

This whole process was so smooth that even William was stunned. When he reacted, Selena was already outside the house, and Lauren had blocked the door with her body. He and all the guards were trapped inside the house.

In an instant, William became anxious and yelled at the soldiers around him:

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill you!"

However, Lauren ignored William's threat and shouted to Selena behind him again:

"Run now while you can!"

"But, Lord Lauren..." The girl hesitated at the door. She saw that blood was oozing out of the wound on Lauren's shoulder, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

Lauren once again shouted at the top of her lungs:

"You are Greyburg's last hope, get out of here! Go find Carl!"

Selena looked at Knight Lauren with tears on her face. Finally, she nodded firmly, and ran downstairs with all her strength without looking back.

At this time, William was already furious, and kept shouting at the soldiers beside him:

"Idiots, come on, we can't let Selena get away!"

Looking at the soldiers approaching him, Lauren let out a thunderous roar, then swung his sword again to chop down a soldier who was rushing towards him, and then a spear pierced his stomach. Severe pain came from his abdomen, blood flowed from his mouth, he knew he was dying, but he still endured the pain, grabbed the spear, and pierced the soldier who attacked him again with his sword. But more spears stabbed him one after another, piercing his chest, arms, thighs, and the last one went straight through his left eye and pierced his brain.

Lauren's body stopped moving. He was like a prisoner, pierced by countless spears. Even after death, he still stood there, blocking the way with his body.
