Chetlow Manor

"So, what was it like here?" Mo En leaned under the big tree, thoughtful, and asked a little absent-mindedly.

Ever since I overheard the cooks in the castle discussing the next day's dinner last night, they said that there is no need to prepare dinner for His Royal Highness, because His Royal Highness was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the upper college in the town.

This is a great opportunity.Moen thought so.

Once Hughden is not in the castle, he can find a way to find Julian, and then use this opportunity to escape.

Lai Jia shook his hand in front of Moen, showing a shallow smile: "Hey, my dear brother, you seem to have flown elsewhere. Do you remember the topic you just brought up?" Lai Jia asked.

After a few days of getting along, Moen could clearly feel the changes in Lai Jia. He looked softer. Compared with his grumpy temper in the basement, he now seems to be trying to play the role of a good brother.

This is a good thing, Moen thought, maybe it was the bright sunshine that brought him these good moods.

"Of course, of course I do. So, where are you going to start?"

"I don't know where to start. Although I grew up in this place, except for the age I can't remember, when I was nine years old, I couldn't see the changes of this castle with my own eyes. It now looks... It's very different from before, you know what I mean, I mean... O'Hares is very different from the previous Duke."

"Oh, that's right." That name aroused some complicated emotions in Moen. He couldn't tell what it was, afraid?disgust?Or... curious?He had to admit to his probing of the man, "What was he like then? I mean, O'Hallis Hutton."

"Well... To be honest, it's hard for me to compare him at that time with this demon now. Because... he didn't show that at that time, he just looked like an overly quiet and mature boy, although He's only in his teens."

Lai Jia shook a fallen leaf in his hand, with a gloomy expression on his face, but Morn didn't notice it, and just motioned him to continue talking.

"The last duke was not a very shrewd man. In my impression, he didn't pay much attention to the restraint of life. He often hang out with those noble ladies, and then go home after getting drunk at night."

"Although he doesn't have any opinions on some government affairs, it seems that he still cares about his son, and he always shows a sense of guilt... Oh, he is always very harsh on O'Haris' homework, but he is very strict with me. Very permissive. I guess he loved his second wife... aka you and my mother because he likes to stare me in the face and mutter to himself when he's drunk."

Then Lai Jia said something about the books he read in the basement, and Moen continued the conversation without a word, but he was planning an escape plan in his heart.

This is a great opportunity, yes, great.

Not only because Eriks provided Julian's location, but also...

And just this morning, Anna who hadn't appeared in front of Mo En for a long time (Mo En guessed it was her guilt) suddenly appeared in front of him again.

The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally opened her palm while there was no one around. There was a bunch of keys in her hand, which seemed to belong to a housekeeper.

"I found this in the pocket of Mr. Jeff's housekeeper's uniform. He will go out with His Royal Highness tomorrow, so he changed it out today and sent it to the laundry room."

The girl blushed, looked up at Mo En quietly, and added: "My lord, I'm really sorry. I mean, you are a good person."

……

"Hey." Lai Jia issued a reminder, his eyes fell on Mo En, "Well, my dear brother, I have to admit that maybe you are not interested in these topics."

Moen opened his mouth and was about to say something, when he saw Lai Jia approaching him suddenly, he grabbed his shoulder slightly with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Listen, I know what you're thinking, don't hesitate, we have to hurry up Get out of here...I've had enough!" Lai Jia's voice was filled with growls, which startled Moen.

Moen hurriedly comforted him: "Yes, yes...I know."

He was a little nervous when he heard this, and subconsciously looked around.

When he looked up, he happened to meet a pair of gray-green eyes.

Please don't get me wrong, His Royal Highness the Duke didn't come to this messy and barren backyard, he just happened to be standing in front of the window of the verandah on the second floor, holding a teacup lightly in his hand, as if admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Oh, but there is no beautiful scenery outside the window, only a young master with a guilty conscience.

Moen's panic disappeared after a moment, and he returned to his normal state, raising his face to meet Hughden's gaze expressionlessly.

Through the glass, Mr. Duke raised the cup to Mo En as if toasting tea.Different from Mo En's indifference, there was a very decent smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was meeting an old friend.

While Mo En was secretly relieved, obviously he would not know that at this time, the Duke was secretly laughing at this young master who had not experienced much in the world.

If there is really nothing to hide, why would the usual little guy look him in the eyes?Heh, but he will not interrupt Moen's self-directed and self-acted play, after all... young birds also have the right to try to take off, and then... their wings are broken.

As Huden turned and left, Morn's tense body finally relaxed.

hesitate?Morn tortured himself in his heart, perhaps, he did hesitate a little at first.

Oh, please don't get me wrong, it's not because Hughden's gentle gentleman behavior these days has been forgiven by him-he will never forget that Hughden violated him almost cruelly that night, and he felt that the Duke The anger on Mr.'s body, because he even smelled blood in the obscene smell, and he, his body also left many bruises.The pain and discomfort for several days reminded him all the time that Hughden was an extremely dangerous man.

He hates him, hates him for violating his body, hates how he can be so calm after doing everything!However, after hearing what Lai Jia said about the past, Morn felt that the Duke might also be harboring hatred for all the people surnamed Lanson.

Even if there is a reason for the incident, even if there is a reason in the heart, but what does these things have to do with him, a person who doesn't know anything!

God, Moen felt a sense of helplessness and aggrieved.

Run away, and after escaping, ask your own mother, Mrs. Bethel, what the hell is going on!

Everything went as expected.

In the afternoon of the same day, O'Hallis Hutton took the carriage to the town according to the original arrangement.The weather turned cloudy, but there was no rain, and the people in the castle seemed a little drowsy.

Morn found the ancient tower and brought out Julian who was bored inside.He didn't seem to have suffered any abuse, just frightened and puzzled by all emergencies.Julian has a lot to ask, but now is obviously not the time.

This surgeon has an extremely precise brain. During several days of looking down from the ancient tower, he calculated the patrol route of the castle guards and the possibility of leaving by different routes.

In the end they chose a path that needed to pass through dense bushes, and for the guards of Chetlow Castle, most of them needed to be wary of intruders outside rather than escapees inside.

Outside the bushes was the moat, and the guards were obviously a little relaxed about it, which gave Moen and his party a wonderful opportunity.

"From here, let's go." Moen pushed aside the slightly sparse bushes, "We don't have much time."

Julian supported Laika, who was still not used to strenuous exercise, and moved forward as fast as possible.

The branch scratched Moen's face, with itching and slight pain. He didn't remember how many small flying insects bumped into him recklessly. He only knew that the moment he saw the moat outside, he was filled with excitement. chest.

He left Laika, who couldn't swim, and Julian, who was in charge of looking after them, and turned and jumped into the river.
