Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Plan Revealed
Although Borg had no choice but to accommodate his little master's waywardness, he couldn't ignore the Duke's safety.The day after Edward breathed a sigh of relief, Adam Smith arrived at Winslet's mansion through the teleportation array.
When Edward, who got up early in the morning, saw the butler from the Duke's mansion in the living room, he was almost scared to sit on the ground.
"...Adam?!" Edward was very impressed with this butler who used to accompany Terrence who was playing, and now the man who spends the longest and closest time with Terrence in the Duke's mansion may be this man.This made him feel a little terrified.
"How did you come?"
Concealing his uneasiness, Edward walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Your Ann, Master Edward." Adam put his hands on his stomach and bowed, "I heard that the young master has a serious fever, so the deacon asked me to come and take care of him. You know, our young master is very picky, I am worried He won't be used to it here."
In fact, Borg Clooney had to reluctantly hand over this job to Adam after thinking about it for a long time.Mr. Deacon is of course unwilling to give up the opportunity to serve his sick master, but he is also unwilling to let Adam have too much contact with the official duties of the Aldret family.Under the dilemma, it was Adam who finally came here.
Adam, who was worried about Terrence, naturally had no complaints about this, and looked down on the other party's behavior in his heart-although this greedy old housekeeper had many thoughts, he forgot a truth, the more he wanted, the more he wanted. The more you lose, the more you end up losing.
Hearing Adam's answer, Edward clenched his fist subconsciously. He smiled and said, "I asked Thomas to prepare a guest room for you. I think you can tidy up your things first. Thomas, why don't you go?"
Edward looked at the steward of the city lord's mansion, but Adam directly rejected the offer: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, I can live anywhere. But please be rude, I just want to see Master Terrence now, I'm worried about his condition."
What Adam said was reasonable, and Edward couldn't refuse it at all.He stood up hesitantly and led Adam out of the hall.
Butler Thomas followed behind the two with dim eyes.Master Edward is still too young. Even though his response to emergencies is better than most of his peers, he still lacks experience in dealing with crises.As the master, there are many reasons why he wants to open his mouth to keep a servant, but the lovely young master Dehua is worried that he will show his flaws, and instead loses his calm demeanor.
Every sound of footsteps in the long corridor made Edward's heart heavy. He never thought that the Duke's mansion would send someone over so soon.
Terrence's bedroom was soon reached. Adam bowed to Edward and walked past him to the door: "Master? Master Terrence, I'm Adam, can I go in?"
No sound came from the room.
Edward bit his lower lip nervously, and Thomas stood up at this moment and said, "Maybe Your Excellency is resting, after all, patients are always lethargic. I think Mr. Smith can come over later, taking this opportunity, you can make a drink for Your Excellency." Black tea. The taste from home will surely make His Excellency the Duke forget about his illness."
Adam nodded in agreement with Thomas' proposal: "You are right, Mr. Steward. I was too concerned about the young master's condition and made a rude move."
"Then I'll take you to the kitchen. The kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion is certainly no better than that of His Excellency the Duke's, but it's also bright and clean."
Thomas made a gesture and took Adam out of here.Before he left, he looked back at Edward and made a "please" mouth.
Edward watched the backs of the two people disappear around the corner, turned around and opened the door behind him.
After waiting for more than an hour, Adam reappeared in front of Terrence's room with the tray—Edward told him just now that Terrence had woken up.
"Good day, sir. May I go in and see you?"
Holding the tray in one hand, Adam knocked on the door with the other.
Soon, a muffled answer came from inside: "I don't want it! I'm uncomfortable, and I don't want to see anyone! Go and call Ed for me, I want Ed!"
"Master..." Adam frowned and comforted, "I made Hultshire special black tea for you. Don't you like this taste the most? It's not good for you to stay in the house alone. I just went in to see Look at your condition."
"I don't want it! I don't want it!"
"His temper has not been very good for the past two days. I think the illness has made Terrence, who has just suffered from the death of his relatives, a little vulnerable." Edward stood behind Adam at some point, "Give me the tea set , I'll go in and take care of him."
Adam: "How can I make you do such a thing?"
"It's okay." Edward reached out and took the tray in Adam's hand. After a period of adjustment, his expression had become calmer. "Terrence seems to have become very defensive after he developed a fever. I have been taking care of him for the past two days. We are friends after all!"
Adam had no choice but to watch Edward push open the door and walk in. During a short stare, the big bed covered with curtains could not see clearly, and the finely carved mahogany door closed again before Adam's eyes.
The young butler was always a little uneasy. Although Terrence was a little willful at times, he was not the kind of person who would feel at ease and treat his friends as servants.But this little anxiety was not enough for Adam to discover the truth. Who would have thought that the little duke would not only disappear but also be daringly concealed?
But paper can't keep the fire, no matter how you cover up the truth of the matter, there will always be a day when it will be exposed.
Adam Smith stayed in the city lord's mansion for three days, but he didn't see his little master once, which made him more and more anxious. On this day, Adam finally couldn't bear to open the door of the bedroom privately, but was caught by Edward. He stopped in excitement.
"Master Edward, what are you doing?"
Adam looked at Edward who gritted his teeth with a pale face, and his heart sank suddenly: "Did something happen to Master Terrence?!"
"No!" Edward screamed, "Nothing happened! Why do you have to go in, didn't Terrence tell you not to bother him?!"
Edward had asked people to search the city for three days and three nights, but there was no trace of Terrence at all.Every day, every day, he was tortured alternately by hope and disappointment, and his heart could no longer bear such a burden, and Adam Smith's behavior undoubtedly became the last straw that crushed his spirit.
The young young master finally realized that he had done a wrong thing, maybe he shouldn't have lied in the first place, and now he is on the verge of riding a tiger.His cleverness once saved him a lot of trouble, but now it has hurt him deeply.
Terrence, who was familiar with Edward, knew what kind of person this former best friend was, so he would safely leave a mess to him-of course he did not hope that Edward could solve any problems for him, on the contrary, he expected him to To be able to tear this mess even further until I finally bury myself in it.
When the two were confronting each other, the communicator in Adam's coat pocket suddenly rang, and it was Deacon Borg who contacted him.
"Mr. Smith, the queen has heard about the young master's illness. She thinks it is not wise to recuperate in Winslet City, and hopes that the young master can return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. And Her Majesty also sent a pharmacist to Winslet, you Take care of the young master first, and prepare to come back when the pharmacist arrives later."
Borg's communication had just hung up, and Edward's communicator also started beeping.
Hearing Borg's words with Adam, Edward's expression became even more flustered. He subconsciously pressed the communication button, and the voice of the old Earl Winslet came from the small device.
"Dear Edward, Her Majesty the Queen will send a pharmacist to see the young duke soon, you have to treat him well, you understand?"
Taking advantage of Edward's distraction while holding the communicator, Adam strode past him.The young butler had never been so barbaric before. He stretched out his long legs and kicked open the wooden door in front of him. In the luxurious and spacious room, there was only a shivering boy in a servant's outfit hiding at the foot of the bed...
"Absurd! This has never happened before!" The White Pearl Queen clenched the fan in her hand and scolded angrily, "A duke disappeared quietly, but no one dared to announce the truth! My little Terrence Just like this, I don’t know where I’m going for three days!”
She was standing in the living room of Aldret's mansion now, and everyone bowed their heads in her anger.
Only the head maid who had been with the Queen for the longest time said softly at this time: "Your Majesty, the mistake has already been made, we should find Master Terrence as soon as possible."
The queen took a deep breath and looked at the head maid: "Then Irene, what do you think should be done?"
Irene raised the hem of her skirt and saluted, "The little duke's identity is sensitive, and someone with a heart may take the opportunity to hurt him. I think it's better to send the guards in the palace to search secretly."
"No, it is precisely because of Terrence's identity that we have to make a big fuss." The queen turned around and walked to a chair to sit down, "Secrets can never be kept, and once things about Terrence are leaked, it will become even worse. Old fox They always like to play tricks, once the matter is spread out, they dare not act rashly! Go and issue an edict to search the whereabouts of the Duke of Aldret across the country. As long as someone can bring the Duke to me, I will provide 5000 yuan on behalf of the royal family. Crystal coins!"
When the queen said this, she added with a very gloomy expression: "Put Edward Winslet and those daring accomplices in prison! When Terrence comes back, he will deal with it himself... If Terrence doesn't come back, I will They were all buried for the Duke of the Empire!"
The possibility in the queen's words made Adam Smith, who knelt on one knee and remained silent, jump in his heart. Ever since he discovered Terrence's disappearance, he had been blaming himself all the time.He blamed himself for not being able to stay in the mansion on the day the young master left home, and also blamed himself for not being able to detect something was wrong as soon as possible after living in the city lord's mansion for three days.
There is a very magical alchemy tool about life magic spread by the nobles.It is a round utensil similar to a shield. Every child will drop a drop of blood on it when it is born. This shield will be linked with the life of the owner from then on. Once the owner dies, it will also shatter. It is a good thing to know about the life and death of nobles who are on an adventure journey.
It is precisely because the shield placed in the secret room is still shining with light that the Queen and the others can calmly think of a solution here.But Adam couldn't bear that he could only quietly wait for the news of the little master in the imperial capital.
He raised his head and looked at Queen White Pearl: "I have a wish, and I hope Her Majesty the Queen can make it come true. I want to search from Winslet City, and do my best to find Master Terrence as soon as possible."
The queen looked at him quietly for a while, and finally nodded: "It seems that Terrence has a very dedicated and loyal servant, and I am very happy for him. Young man, it is about your master's safety and honor, and I look forward to your return." good news."
When Edward, who got up early in the morning, saw the butler from the Duke's mansion in the living room, he was almost scared to sit on the ground.
"...Adam?!" Edward was very impressed with this butler who used to accompany Terrence who was playing, and now the man who spends the longest and closest time with Terrence in the Duke's mansion may be this man.This made him feel a little terrified.
