The latter quickly came to under the nourishment of the blood, and then he heard Jed murmuring in the dark:
"Arthur, my best offspring, go! Keep an eye on Maxim, I remember you know him well, if he finishes what I told him to do, you will take over to watch Lady Cui Si and let him return to me for orders.
But if he does something he shouldn't...
Finish him off!"

Maxim was walking on the ash-covered ground of Cardman City.
He was annoyed at himself for being too honest and failed to ask Jed where his worries about Miss Phemys came from.
He didn't believe that Jed letting Sir Morphy execute Miss Phemys in itself was harmless, that cunning old man must be trying to saddle Sir Morphy with a terrible guilt.
Maybe there were more dangerous factors.
He had to think of a way to get more benefits for Sir Morphy in this emergency.
