The young Duke stood up, waved his hand, and signaled the guards to let go of his servant.

"Mr. Neil, I'm sorry to alarm you."

He turned to the tax officer at the side, with a gentle tone and a polite manner, giving the tax officer enough respect. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Duke could not hide it, but Mr. Neil was obviously very angry.

He nodded to the Duke and suggested, "You should have better servants by your side."

The duke replied: "His courage and tact are indeed rare."

Neil frowned, looked at Andy contemptuously and harshly, but did not question again, but said: "I respect your choice, even if it is not the most suitable."

The Duke was silent for a while, pretending that he didn't hear the implication. He asked coldly with a sullen face, "Andy, tell me why you want to visit a death row prisoner."

The half-kneeling boy slowly raised his head, his face was full of healthy blood, and his wheat-colored skin was like a piece of oily cloth.

He looked like a farm boy who could sing about the harvest, with uncertainties in those sunburned eyes.

Vigorous, yet extraordinarily stoic.

But the lowered head looked so obedient and so glaring that Austin frowned slightly.

"Ingmar Walsall is my friend."

"Nonsense." Neil reprimanded, "You are the Duke's servant, how can you have a friend of a condemned prisoner, he is the most evil and filthy bug in the gutter!"

"Neil!" The Duke raised his voice, "Let him finish."

Andy then stood up, he was a good inch, looking at the serious and noble young man in front of him, his expression slowly tightened.

This is Andy's usual expression when he is thinking, and it often means that he will open his mouth to spit out sharp sarcasm in the next second.

The Duke has suffered a lot in this regard, but once he leaves Andy's domain and has a distance from him, he will find that the young man is not blindly mocking the nobles, and he will bend down when necessary, showing a submissive look .

He is not a piece of steel.

Maybe it's just a servile and flattering villain.

Austin thought so, so he had a bit of contempt, so he didn't give Andy any special treatment.

There has never been a friendship that crosses classes, and the weak can't help but cling to the powerful. Austin can forgive DeWitt, but he has a heart for Andy's obedience.

Andy said: "My lord, I'm just a small character. I've never been in the middle of nowhere. I'm not fashionable. Compared with your status, I'm as low as the dust. You've heard of pearls that fall into the mud. Wash them clean." Afterwards, the brilliance will bloom again, but a mud pill cannot be washed clean."

"But niwans like us often have self-knowledge and will not covet treasures that cannot be obtained. If there is really a love god who created such a couple, he must be blind."

"Your Excellency, a jewel of a nobleman accused my friend Ingmar of kidnapping her and implicated the whole vaudeville troupe. Before I met you, my sister and I worked here. I know how cautious Ingmar is. I believe this allegation is completely baseless."

Neil was furious: "Are you accusing the Red Knights of unfair judgment? Do you think we will casually send people to the gallows? What kind of identity do you use to question a just knight?"

The gentleman's rage was so terrible that even soldiers would have been startled.

The muscles of Andy's cheeks moved, and he argued, "Fairness and justice have always been earned. I believe in my friend Ingmar, just as you believe in the impartiality of the Red Knight."

"Your Excellency, we should put this rude boy in prison."

The Duke was silent for a while, and said to Andy who was kneeling on the ground: "You should abide by the rules in the manor. If Neil tells you that there is something you are not allowed to do, you should respect him, then now I I will punish you and send you to prison with my own hands."

Neil was taken aback: "My lord, a prison is a place full of filth."

"Because of this, I need to personally supervise. Those who punish should not shy away from crime, just as those who execute the death penalty should pick up the sword with their own hands." After the Duke finished speaking, he ordered the guards to release Andy.

"Lead the way ahead."

"Yes, my lord."

Red Pine Fort on the other side.

DeWitt also received the news from Hall Manor. His face was pale with fright, he dropped the letter, and in a panic found Sabo who was handling official business.

The butler of Red Pine Castle is a very thin, tall young man, calm and gentle. He came to Red Pine Castle on a foggy morning to take over the position of the old butler. Devitt was the first master he met.

The horse's hooves were kicking, and the young man, wearing a top hat, stepped out of the carriage, holding an old suitcase in his hand, looking decent and gentlemanly.

"Hello, Master DeWitt."

DeWitt ran away in panic. Although he was very happy in his heart, he was always timid and afraid to approach the steward or other servants in the castle.

This is actually not difficult to understand. It is not always easy for a young boy who has just arrived and has a very awkward status to get the kindness of others.

The servants of Red Pine Castle tried their best to ignore him. My cousin had a lot to learn, and the old butler was rigid and rigorous. His occasional cold gaze made DeWitt feel like a thief who could steal things.

But since Sabo first came to the manor, he has been very friendly to DeWitt.

study.

Sabo took off his glasses, and a smile appeared on his handsome and charming face: "My husband, what happened, you shouldn't rush in while I'm working."

DeWitt's face was pale and anxious: "Don't you know? All the news will be delivered to you first, he is back! He is back! Didn't you tell me that he is dead? What should we do? My cousin found me What he did would definitely beat me to death, although he showed kindness, but I am sure he is as vicious as a poisonous snake, he will definitely beat me to death."

Sabo said slowly: "Did you do anything?"

DeWitt opened his eyes wide, staggered up to Sabo, and grabbed his collar, with a broken and vicious expression: "You said you would help me, you don't want my cousin to come back, you can get rid of the blame, it's all about you Taught me, maybe even those accidents were arranged by you, I am an innocent person, I was just bewitched by you!"

Sabo looked at DeWitt coldly, his eyes were unusually cold, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "You are still as timid as ever, Master DeWitt, don't you only have such a little ambition? Aren't you a red pine The rightful heir to the castle? Why should you be so afraid."

Sabo grabbed DeWitt's thin arm and softly comforted him: "Since Master Austin can disappear once, why can't there be a second time? You can suppress the mercenary's blackmail letter, why can't you be ruthless again?" Are you determined to fight for your rights?"

"A person may survive a catastrophe, but God promises that a mortal's life must never be killed twice. Master Dewitt, why are you so afraid? This is your chance."

"You can't crack the secret of the little silver pot, why don't you simply ask Duke Austin, where is that wealth hidden? Everything here belongs to you."

DeWitt was trembling, but his eyes were burning a little bit. He was as weak as a fish swept ashore by wind and waves, but his expression was like a jackal with its mouth open.

He was too uncertain, but he couldn't bear to watch the wealth and power slip away from his hands. He looked at Sabo, his body trembling, and his eyes wandered: "But...but..."

Sabo gently held DeWitt's hand and squeezed it: "You have to believe in yourself, Master DeWitt, compared to Duke Austin's naivety, you are the most suitable person to live in Red Pine Castle. There is never anything wrong with survival.”

With trembling lips and sweat on his brow, DeWitt withdrew his hand and flinched back: "I shouldn't, Sabo, he's already back, I don't have a chance."

Sabo was surprised: "Don't you consider me your friend? I will help you."

He grabbed DeWitt's hand again, and comforted him in a low voice: "I already have a solution, you just need to do what I say."

DeWitt couldn't help approaching Sabo: "What way?"

Saber smiled and said: "Duke Austin is a man of great affection. I guess he would not blame you cruelly even if he knew what you did. Master DeWitt, you must first ask for his forgiveness and wait for him to trust you." You, too, walked into the cage."

He put DeWitt's hand on his lips and kissed it: "I promise you will have enough time to torture to find out the whereabouts of that treasure."

DeWitt was short of breath. He grabbed Sabo's hand, frantically and pleasantly surprised: "Is it possible? Is this feasible?"

Saber showed a charming smile and replied: "Of course, and this is your right. Now, please quickly change your clothes and go to apologize to the Duke. Please be sincere. I don't think this will trouble you."

prison.

For the first time in his life, the Duke entered the high stone building of the manor. The guards notified each other, opened the hanging door, and sprinkled fresh flower petals on the road the Duke would pass by.

He walked in front of Andy, and the guards led the Duke to the entrance of the prison. After the door opened, an unspeakable smell of shame came over the face. Austin's face darkened instantly, and he couldn't take the first step.

The guard had expected it a long time ago: "My lord, why don't we bring the prisoner out, you can interrogate him in the open space."

Austin frowned, estimated his ability to bear, and nodded.

Andy walked up to him and begged, "I hope you will allow me to be with the guards. I would love to see my friend."

Austin waved his hand: "Go."

The boy and the guards opened the gate and entered the dark prison with torches. The maids arranged a comfortable place and threw flowers to get rid of the stench. Austin sat under the awning and chatted with Neil.

"when did it happen?"

"On the third day of your disappearance, my lord."

"Who is that lady?"

"My lord, in order to protect the reputation of the victims, the Red Knights have not released any information, but if you really want to know, I can tell you."

"No, I don't want to know." Austin said, "Can you tell me about the details of this kidnapping case?"

Neil's wrinkled face showed obvious disgust and puzzlement: "Of course, my lord, but the history of this case is as dull as all kidnapping cases. In order not to make you feel bored, let me make a long story short, this A man thinks he is not kidnapped, his only crime is falling in love with a man of the same sex."

Austin wondered, "Same-sex love?"

Neil said: "Yes, this man thought he was a woman and fell in love with another woman as a woman. He refused to admit that he was kidnapped, so he was sentenced to hang by the Red Knights."

Austin was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

At this moment, the sound of iron chains rubbing against each other rang out, from far to near, the guard walked in front holding a torch, and stepped out of the dark prison.

He was already considered tall, but the ragged man behind him was twice as tall as him. He walked out of the darkness with a crooked and cold appearance like a demon.

Andy walked beside him, holding the chain for him with both hands.

"My lord, the prisoner has brought it."
