Dominate the world in three weeks?

When I woke up the next morning, it was a sunny day outside the window.

Today, it is the deacon Bog Clooney who brought the maid in to serve.He didn't know if he was careless, but the young master who disappeared and returned seemed to rely more on Adam, probably because the young man went to welcome him back to the imperial capital in person.

This made Borg feel extremely unwilling. He also diligently maintained Aldret's family business during Terrence's absence, just because Adam Smith showed his face in front of Terrence. Has the young master forgotten his contribution?

Borg, who is so caressing, doesn't remember that in order to be able to maintain the authority of Aldelete's house, he acquiesced in Adam's search, and ignored the hardships of the other party.

Borg put on an amiable face and straightened Terrence's clothes.

Long before Borg came in, Terrence had already dressed himself, and he was no longer an idle young master, otherwise he would have been summoned by the god of death on the first day when he was exiled to the capital of criminals.Borg thought it was because Terrence had endured hardships outside, and lamented with emotion, but in fact Terrence was just trying to cover the magic circle on his chest.He hasn't researched this thing thoroughly, but after all, it's tied to his own life, and he can't let others discover it.

Borg finally flattened Terrence's collar, and suddenly said "Huh", "Master, is the necklace that Madam left you missing?"

Terrence was taken aback by what he said, and then he remembered that in Winslet City, in order to deceive Edward, he took off the necklace and put it in the space of the ring.

Terrence took out the thing again, and the necklace was made of a silver chain, adorned with a milky white gem the size of a pigeon egg, which shone warmly in the sunlight.

This necklace was originally an accessory that Mrs. Aldelete often wore during her lifetime. Later, when the magic accident happened, the Aldelete couple died on the spot, and the room was in a mess. The only intact thing on the scene was it.Terrence has been wearing this necklace since then.

He hung the chain around his neck again, and stuffed the pendant into his shirt: "Is the carriage ready?"

"Yes, master. It's still early, should we go out now?"

"Of course." Terrence frowned. "Ed has been imprisoned for so long for no reason, of course I have to get him out sooner."

He brushed the curly hair by his ear, turned around and walked to the door first. At this time, the wrinkles between his brows had calmed down, and he didn't seem to be worried about his friend at all.

The walls and railings mixed with silver sulfur sand are carved with exquisite runes. This is the prison where the royal family specially detains nobles. There is no such unbreakable place in the whole country.This is because most of the mages in the Shaninpail Empire, and the close relationship between the mage association and the royal family, was able to build such a prison comparable to the church's heresy trial.

Edward Winslet sat in the corner of a cell, biting his fingers nervously.

In fact, the Royal Prison detains people with status, so the environment inside is not that bad. If you really want to say, it is much better than the slums.Although Edward was imprisoned here, Earl Winslet's power was still there, and of course no one dared to neglect him.Except for the initial interrogation about Terrence's disappearance, he has remained in the cell since then.

But Edward is indeed only a ten-year-old child. Even if he is precocious and very scheming, the child's body limits his experience. Faced with the current situation, Edward has nothing to do except anxiety and fear.

No abuse was received, but Edward was almost overwhelmed by his own mental stress.He was locked in this room of less than ten square meters alone, and no one had ever spoken to him except three meals. It has been abandoned by the whole world.

Perhaps, he was indeed abandoned.

Edward sucked the blood flowing from his fingers and thought vaguely, the father who has always loved him has not appeared so far, let alone other people.

How long has he been locked up here?

In the dimly lit room, the time was stretched infinitely, and Edward always felt that he would be pulled out and sent to the guillotine in the next second.

Tortured by such worries, the once heroic boy quickly lost weight.

The clanging sound was getting closer, and Edward raised his head stiffly. He knew that it was the crisp sound of a bunch of keys colliding, which meant that the jailer was approaching.

He glanced blankly at the spot of light on the ground. It is definitely not the time for lunch delivery. Thinking of this, Edward's body immediately tensed up.

The rattling footsteps also became clear, as if they were stepping on Edward's heart, and then the footsteps stopped suddenly, forcing his heart to stop for a moment. The firelight shone on the window above the prison door, knocking several Slender balustrades project onto the ground.

Edward clenched his fists, shrunk himself into a ball, and watched as the cell door was opened.

Terrence walked through a long passage. The prison built in the western suburbs was not well lit. The prison was cold and damp, and the warmth of a torch was very obvious.

In his first life, he walked in this passage in despair, and walked out of this passage in despair, embarking on the long road to the capital of criminals.

But this time, his mood was completely different from that time.

Under the leadership of the warden, Terrence quickly came to the cell where Edward was held.He took out the pardon issued by the queen and handed it to the warden, and the guard on the side received the instruction and quickly took the key to open the cell door.

The cell was not big, but Terrence still scanned around, only to find Edward curled up in the shadows in the corner.His hair was disheveled and dirty, like a pile of gray grass, looking pitiful and ridiculous.

Terrence stood at the door and called, "Ed."

Edward had been locked up for a long time, and his reaction to the surrounding environment was always a little slow. It took a long time before he remembered that he seemed to have heard a familiar voice just now.

He raised his head and saw Terrence's ruddy face under the firelight.But he didn't realize who it was at the first time, but focused all his attention on the other person's eyes.

The dark green pupils illuminated by the fire were as cold as two cold pools. When he stared at Edward, he could even feel the smoky cold air clinging to his muscles, making him shiver.

Edward gasped, then shrank back to the corner of the wall.

Seeing Edward's unusual appearance, Terrence frowned and looked at the warden: "What's wrong with him? Don't you guys do anything out of the ordinary?"

"It's definitely not." The warden was startled, and quickly waved his hand.What the little duke meant was that they abused their private affairs, which is too big of a crime.

The warden explained: "I think this young master Winslet has been in prison for too long, and he has no energy. Some people really can't stand the atmosphere here. After going out, take a good rest and there will be no sequelae." .”

Terrence nodded, and was about to walk in, but the warden quickly stopped him: "Your Excellency, it's dark and small here, it really doesn't suit your status, let me bring Young Master Winslet out .”

Terrence didn't speak, just pushed the warden's arm away and walked inside.

"Ed." Terrence knelt down in front of Edward, "I'm Terrence, Ed."

Edward raised his head, because the light was too dim, he couldn't see the expression of the person in front of him clearly, so he repeated in a hoarse voice: "Terrence?"

These three words spit out from Edward's mouth in an extremely slow and long voice, and in the process, his rusty thinking was finally stimulated, his eyes lit up: "Terrence...Terrence, you Back? Great, I can go out, right?"

As he said, he was about to hold Terrence's shoulder. He thought of something halfway, then retracted his hand, and said cautiously: "Terrence, you won't blame me, right? I know you are missing, I really want to I searched for you in the city for a long time. But I was terrified at the time, and I didn't know what happened, so there was no news of your disappearance... Sorry, Terrence, I didn't mean to ,can you forgive me?"

The voice was so weak that it was almost breathless, and in addition to his hoarse voice, it sounded no different from crying, it was really pitiful.

Edward finished speaking—he thought of why he was caught in prison, and felt extremely nervous. He was worried that Terrence was not here to pick him up, but to ask questions, so he had to rack his brains to play the emotional card.It's a pity that he has been in prison for a long time, and his mind is like a frozen block of ice. When he speaks a sentence out of order, it is not at the same level as his previous dexterity.

But Terrence, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly chuckled: "What are you talking about, Ed. I know it's not your fault. I heard that it was the butler who instigated it. You were just deceived , how could I blame you?"

"Guard, butler?" Edward was worried about his own safety, and he had long forgotten that the whole city lord's mansion was detained, so he didn't react for a while.

"Yes." Terrence laughed again, lowering his voice. "He deceived his master and had evil intentions. Her Majesty the Queen has ordered the execution of him and the accomplice who pretended to be me."

"Execute...to death?" Edward shivered, feeling as if someone's hand had tightly clenched his stomach, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"That's right, he was so bold that he dared to ask someone to pretend to be the Duke to delay the news. His Majesty would never let him go. But, this has nothing to do with Ed. You are my good friend and you will not do such a thing." wrong?"

Terrence reached out and patted Edward's shoulder, and Edward whimpered in a low voice—the palm that clenched his stomach seemed to increase in strength for a moment, Edward took a sharp breath, and fell limply on the ground. on the ground.

Terrence tilted his head, his face was expressionless all the time, but at this moment he couldn't help sighing and stood up, and said loudly: "Ed fainted in a moment of excitement, don't hurry up and come over alone. "

A jailer heard this, walked in quickly, and hugged the unconscious Edward.

Terrence walked out first, and said to the warden, "Earl Winslet is waiting outside the prison, take him out and hand him over."

"Then, Your Excellency the Duke...?"

"Me?" Terrence bent his lips, "It's my first time here, so I took this opportunity to visit."

"what?"

The warden didn't understand what it meant, so Terrence waved his hand: "I'll just stay here for a while, you can go and get busy too." He pointed to another jailer and said, "Just stay here."

The warden thought that Terrence had a childish mentality, so he found it novel here, so he didn't ask any more questions.Nothing would happen anyway, he told the jailer to take good care of Terrence, and walked outside with his subordinates who were holding Edward.

Terrence stared at the light spot where several people walked towards the exit, and only looked away when the black shadow was swallowed by the light.

The jailer looked at Terrence's expressionless side face. For some reason, he didn't dare to speak. At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, do you think you want to..."

Terrence turned his head and walked deep into the dark passage.

He is familiar with the road, as if he has been here before.Thinking of this, the jailer suddenly got goosebumps.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Terrence stopped.

This was already the end of the prison, and on the wall facing him was a tightly closed silver door, the length and width of which could only allow an adult to enter with his body curled up.

The jailer followed Terrence all the way with his eyes fluttering, only to realize that he had come here, and he was startled: "Your Excellency, this is the end, there is no way ahead, let's go back."

Terrence looked up at him: "Open the door."

"This this……"

The jailer was a little hesitant. This cell is a place for serious criminals. I don’t know how many nobles who committed treason and treason were imprisoned in it. I heard that when Her Majesty the Queen just came to the throne, the royal family who died in it The blood can almost fill a person's ankle.

These little soldiers on duty feel terrified every time they see this door. Your Excellency the Duke is still young, how can he look at this.

Seeing that the jailer was not moving, Terrence directly took the key from his waist and opened the padlock with his own hands.The jailer couldn't stop him, and watched Terrence push the door open.

A stale and bloody smell that had been accumulated for a long time wafted out from inside.

The cell was so small that there was not even a skylight, and when the door was fully closed, not a ray of light could come in.Terrence walked in, and quickly touched the iron chain welded to the ground. He kicked it lightly, and the chain immediately made a jingling sound.

Once, he was locked here for a whole month.

There was no light, no one, and the only thing that could make him a little conscious was the sound of the shackles on his limbs when he moved a little, but after a long time, he even felt that the sound was extremely harsh, so he had to let himself go He lay motionless on the ground.

It is said that many unsteady people can't bear it after being locked up for a long time-this is originally a part of the criminal law, in order to allow prisoners to confide the truth frankly.

Terrence was not a strong-minded man, but he was stupid enough.He lay in it, always thinking, why didn't Edward come to see him?Why didn't Angus show up?And the butler, he should bring the snacks made by the cook to visit him, right?Maybe the queen will find out that she has been wronged in a short time, can she release herself by then?

He thought about these things over and over every day, as if he was looking forward to it all the time, and then he waited until the news that he was sent to the capital of criminals.

At that time, Terrence Aldrett was just as rumored in the aristocratic circles, stupid and self-righteous, as if he was born without a string of doubting others.

But what's wrong with that?

Maybe it's okay to die so stupidly in the crime capital, maybe then he won't have to come back from the dream of death twice or three times.

Terrence couldn't help thinking this, and then laughed at such a cowardly thought to himself.

Revisiting the old place is really a lot of emotion.

Terrence came out of the cell and closed the door behind him.

—So, Ed.You still don't know what real pain is, it's just an appetizer.
