Jared turned over the letter paper, on which was written the list of visitors, obviously the Lord of the Heavens is not a fool, and the Academy Council has dominated the empire for so long, even if there are people who want to do something small in private, want to hide it from her is not an easy thing. In addition to Vito himself, the people accompanying him were also of high status. An Imperial General, and the three major clans of the empire would also be sending important people along. Of course, according to the Lord of the Heavens, these people were not in agreement with Vito, but rather saw the potential and value of the territory under construction.
As for Vito ...
Seeing that Jared was concentrating on his thoughts, Kelly said nothing and turned to leave. But in her heart, she was still worried about Jared, his right hand has really healed? Looking at the way just now, even Kelly could not help but wonder if Jared was hiding the pain again, but she could not do anything about it. Besides, Jared's attitude was so firm that he obviously wouldn't let her intervene.
Just as Kelly reached the top of the stairs, ready to go back to her room, Caroline's voice suddenly appeared in her head.
(What about Jared's right hand?)
"Hey? Ms. Caroline, I'm ...."
Kelly subconsciously tried to say something, but Caroline just sighed softly.
(Jared's a real liar. He even lied to me. I trusted him.)
"It's because he doesn't want to worry Ms. Caroline, and I think Jared is still very nice ..."
Kylie defended herself with some embarrassment, and at those words, Caroline laughed softly.
（I'm not blaming him. Besides, I pretended I didn't know. That way, Jared and I were even. But just because I don't ask doesn't mean I'm not worried. ... Ms. Kelly? How's Jared's right hand?)
"... At least he appears to be cured, as to what is actually going on, I don't know."
(So...)
Caroline's tone was reassuring, and Kelly didn't know what to say for a moment.
（Miss Kelly, do you like Jared?)
"Eh?"
The sudden question made Kelly suddenly freeze, then she shook her head sharply in the negative.
"No such thing! How could I possibly like a man who is so frivolous and annoying!"
（Is Jared such a bad man in your mind?)
"Ah!"
Listening to Caroline's slightly teasing rhetorical question, Kelly then reacted to the fact that Caroline was Jared's fiancée no matter what, if Jared was really the kind of person she was talking about, then if Caroline looked at this kind of man, wouldn't it be a disguised proof that she had a problem with her vision? So Kelly shook her head again, while choosing her words carefully." It's not that, Ms. Caroline. Although that man is usually very annoying, but when it comes to the critical moment is still very reliable, and although a little rude, but not a bad person ...."
（So? You like him?)
"Miss Caroline!"
Kelly tried to sound angry, but from the sound of Caroline's soft laughter, she wasn't at all intimidated by Miss Kelly.
（I'm sorry, Ms. Kelly. I was just kidding. I was just kidding. Please don't take it too seriously. Well, it's getting late, so get some rest.)
Caroline's voice disappeared again, apparently she had broken the communication. Kylie stood still until her pounding heart had regained its composure, then she turned and walked into her room. What was she thinking? Even if he was a great guy, he wouldn't be good enough for me. Moreover, he already has a fiancee as beautiful as Ms. Caroline, there is no need to ... Kylie was shocked by her own thoughts, what was she thinking? What is this nonsense?
Kylie didn't dare to think about it anymore, it just couldn't happen. So she closed her eyes again and sang a magical song that celebrated the beauty of nature, and along with Kylie's voice, the dark room once again began to emit an emerald green light of life.
"POW!!!"
Yuri stared coldly at her sister, Leila's cheeks were red and swollen and bulging, but she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, trying not to cry out.
"How many times have I warned you!!!"
Yuri was furious.
"Don't make that dangerous move in front of humans! This is not in the Land of the Wild! Don't you understand the situation? Don't forget what you sent us to prison for! Humans aren't orcs, and you're not who you used to be! You'll have to answer for what you've done! Luckily this lord seems to have a good heart. If it were anyone else, do you know what would have happened? We'd be on death row right now! And you'd be in some man's crotch being used as a plaything!"
"Yuri, you're going too far."
The other middle-aged man in the room who hadn't said anything, the one with the long tail, spoke in a low voice .
"Leila she is a child after all ..."
"I know she's a child! But what's the point? Are you going to be able to get the entire continent to forgive her for what she did because she's a child?"
Yuri's eyes were so bright with anger that in the darkness they looked like two shining blue lights.
"As a brother, I must educate her! So that she doesn't bring us to our doom! If it weren't for her, we might have won this lord's favor. If he'd let us join him, our lives would be secure! Our enemies would have stopped hunting us. But look at you, you fools!!! Gale, you stupid pig who only knows how to eat! Do you want to be locked in a dungeon with stinking water again? Or tied up like a rare animal to be admired? As for Leila! I guess we saved you too soon last time! If you had been whipped by that slave trader a few times, you wouldn't have made such a mistake today!!!"
Yuri's low growl of rage echoed through the room, but the crowd was silent, except for Gale, who continued to grunt coldly.
"What's the big deal? Little buggers like this ..."
"Shut the fuck up!"
"Yuri, don't push it too far, kid."
This time, in the face of Yuri's fury, Gale reached for the huge axe at his waist, the slightest hint of murder in his eyes.
"I am not your servant, as a brave and mighty orc, why should I bow down to the lowly humans? They are the most despicable race in this world! We should kill one of them, and two of them! Expel these filthy, lowly, even worse than beasts from this continent! Restore the glory of the beasts! But look at you! Bowing to two humans, if the Beast King sees you, he'll kill you!"
"Shut up! If you love the Beastmaster so much, go back to the wilderness now! Don't forget, we're fugitives now! We're not protected by the Land of the Wild anymore!"
"So, you're fugitives."
"...! WHAT A PERSON!!!"
Suddenly the figure coming out of the corner startled the crowd, and they hastily grabbed the weapons at their sides and looked to the place where the voice came from .
Jared's body was clearly outlined in the dark shadows created by the moonlight, and he was leaning against the wall, staring at the orcs with a mocking gaze.
"You lowly human, have you been listening to our conversation?!"
Gale took two steps forward, the steel axe in his hand glinting with a cold, chilling light.
"Eavesdropping, this is a big misunderstanding. Don't forget, this is my castle, and I don't need to be told where I want to be or what I want to do. I don't need to be told what to do. For example, I think the moonlight is beautiful here, so I'm going to take a moonlight bath. But you guys are talking here, and I can't cut off my ears to hear it, so ... can only be described as an accident. What do you think? And ..."
"Lowly humans, they know how to make excuses!"
Gale snorted in displeasure and swung his giant axe.
"Now that that chick isn't here, let's see what I can do about ...."
A bright red soft object suddenly fell to the ground, followed by Gale's screams, and Jared remained in his original position, not moving. But in his right hand, compared to his empty hand a moment ago, there was now a black, unlit, double-bladed sword.
"I warned you."
Jared swiped at the tongue he'd cut out.
"Next time you interrupt me, I'll cut out your tongue."
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Oooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
Maybe because of the anger, maybe because of the great pain, Gale suddenly roared, his body muscles began to expand, and his eyes were full of blood. The other people saw the situation is not good all retreated to the side, after berserking Geer is very difficult and irrational, no one is willing to fight with such a dangerous guy standing together. What's more, the lord of this lord he ...
The splash of blood interrupted Yuri's thinking, the room became calm in an instant, Gale's huge body fell down in a pool of blood, his hand, still dead coddled the huge axe that he did not have time to swing down.
"What happened!"
Serenity rushed through the door, armed and surprised by the spectacle, but Jared, unperturbed, turned his hand and the blades, which had done their job, disappeared. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then turned to Serenity.
"You're just in time, put these men in the underground cells, they tried to assassinate me, that's a major offense. Oh, and by the way, ...."
At this point, Jared glanced meaningfully at the little girl with the ears, who was now glaring at him and grinding her teeth. If Yuri hadn't grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, she'd have been ready to charge.
"Send the young lady to my room."
Jared then gave the order.
