......

Wren Dmitry has been trapped in the basement of the Elk's Mansion for half a month. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He thought he would be able to stop Jacques, but he didn't expect the other party to do it in advance.

"It's lunch today, please use it slowly," Sean, the long-faced butler, handed a plate of slimy meals to the edge of the cage, which looked like a mixture of wheat porridge and leaves, and the portion was only the size of a palm.

"Get me out, you idiot!" Wren yelled as he flipped the plate to the ground and grabbed the railing, "Jacques is an idiot too, he doesn't know what he's doing, it's too late to let me out!"

The butler shook his head regretfully, took out his handkerchief and wiped the stained upper twice, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste the food that didn't reach my mouth, and the Earl had instructed that in order to save you some effort, only one meal a week and one meal would be delivered." ”

"Damn, didn't you hear what I was saying?" Wren scolded, "It's not a matter of a meal at all, if you don't stop Jacques, he'll ruin the Elk's house!"

It was probably the second half of the sentence that worked, and the butler, who was about to leave, stopped, "Your father, I think if he were still alive, I am afraid that you will be expelled from the house immediately." He turned his head and looked at Wren with a blank expression, "Young Master, you seem to have forgotten that it was the fourth prince Roland Wimbledon who killed the Earl of Elk, and the Honeysuckle family not only sided with the prince, but also assisted him in suppressing the other four families. Your brother is correcting this mistake at the moment, but you are so frightened that you can be treated as a knight?"

"I don't need you to judge whether I'm a worthy knight or not," Wren said angrily, "In the past three years, when I fought against the evil beasts in the Hermes Line, Jacques would only enjoy his ups and downs in the royal capital, do you think he is attacking the Honeysuckle family now because of courage? Don't laugh at the dead, he was just blinded by interests!"

Sean sighed, "Even if you are the younger brother of Lord Jacques, you should maintain the most basic respect, after all, he is an earl and the head of the Elk family. ”

After saying that, the butler ignored Wren and walked briskly down the stairs to leave the basement. When the gate closed, silence returned to the underground.

"Hell!"

The second son of the elk slammed his fist on the floor.

Since the beginning of winter, Jacques has visited other families more and more often - he didn't pay much attention at first, after all, he has no interest in running the family, and when Jacques refused to pay the ransom when he was captured by His Royal Highness for the first time, it was Pero who helped him get out of prison, and the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point. Even so, Wren did not intend to compete with the other party for the position of head of the family, and when he heard the news of the planned construction of the border town, he even considered going to the town to pledge his allegiance to the fourth prince and officially become a guardian knight. But then things changed, and during a private banquet held at the Elk Mansion, he heard the news that the four great families were preparing to unite against the Changge Fortress.

That night, Wren rushed into Jacques's study and questioned him about it, but was blasted out by the latter with great displeasure. After thinking about it all night, he planned to tell Perrot the news first, and then bring a patrol to stop Jacques, but the other party actually made a move during breakfast, and when he woke up, he found himself in a cage.

No matter how much Wren roared and warned him afterwards, he never saw Jacques again. Every day he can only tell the time by the light and darkness of the skylight in the corner of the basement, and the only person he can contact is Jacques's butler.

"Gollum ......"

There was a long beep in his stomach, and he realized that he was a little hungry.

Glancing at the food scattered on the ground, Wren turned his head and fell on his back on the straw pile behind him. Let's sleep...... He thought to himself that if he fell asleep, he would not feel hungry.

As soon as I closed my eyes, footsteps sounded again in the basement.

Could it be...... Jacques came? He leaped down from the haystack and pressed to the railing—by the faint light of the skylight, the figure of the other man was small and slender, and it was evident that it was not the arrogant Count.

"Brother, are you okay?" When the other party came to the edge of the cage, he realized that the person who came was actually Aurelian, the third lady of the Elk family.

"How did you get in?"

"Big brother isn't here, those servants can't control me," Aurelian said in disbelief as he glanced at the porridge on the floor, "they're just going to give you this? ”

"Jacques is no longer in the house?" Hearing his sister's first half of the sentence, Wren's heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't even care about filling his stomach, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know...... He left two days ago," Aurelian shook his head, "and took most of the houseguards with him, or I wouldn't have had a chance to enter the basement." ”

It's over, Wren's heart is cold, he hasn't returned for two days, and today is the third day...... Even if I can get out now, I'm afraid it's too late.

"Brother, I heard that the eldest brother wants to be bad for the Honeysuckle family, is it true?" Ourelian looked worried, "Lord Pero will be fine, right?"

That's right...... The third sister has always liked Perro Hermon, and she has also intentionally matched the two of them, but the friend seems to have something else in mind. But now it's useless to think about it, Wren sat down softly against the railing, feeling weak, according to Jacques's style, he will definitely not let go of the Hermon family, and next, the entire Westland will inevitably face the thunderous anger of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Jacques had been in the royal capital for so long that he didn't realize what he was up against...... Wren closed his eyes, and his mind involuntarily recalled the day when he attacked the frontier town - the flames bloomed in front of his eyes, the thunder was incessant, the knights rushing in front seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, the armor was vulnerable to transparent arrows, the skill of years of training, the courage to fight for honor, all of which were useless in the face of the opponent's weapons.

From that moment on, he could no longer have the idea of being an enemy of His Royal Highness the Prince.

No one can defeat His Highness's forces - at least not mortals.

If the fourth prince knew about what had happened in the fortress and swept in again, what was the use of the Elk family, even if they gained more benefits? this time...... I'm afraid he won't let go of the four major families anymore.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Aurelian shook him, but he didn't mean to move.

The Elk House is finished.

At that moment, through the thick ceiling, Wren heard a faint roar, and then the ground trembled slightly, as if something had smashed into the mansion.

Did he mishear? Wren turned over, only to see his sister with the same surprised expression.

Then there was another dull thunderclap, but this time much clearer, and then a short ping-pong sound rang out one after another, and the panicked shouts of the servants came overhead.

Don't...... Is it the army of the fourth prince coming?Wren couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how is this possible?

"What's going on out there?" Aurelian stood up, "I'll go out and take a look." ”

"Don't," Wren grabbed his sister's hand, "don't go anywhere, just wait here!"

"Huh?"

"Listen to me......" he said dryly, swallowing his saliva, "outside...... It can be dangerous. ”

The roar died down after a while, and after about a quarter of an hour, a group of men and horses broke into the basement - they were dressed in uniform brown uniforms and holding strange long-handled weapons in their hands, and Wren recognized at a glance that they were none other than His Royal Highness's troops!

He was discouraged for a while, knowing that His Highness would retaliate, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Don't...... Is this a play written and performed by the fourth prince himself?

"Who are you!, how dare you trespass into the Earl's Court!" Aurelian scolded, standing up.

Out of the team was a tall and strong man, his facial features were angular, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, which made him look like a foreigner.

"You are the second son of the Elk family, Sir Wren Dmied?" the man began.

"Know, know and don't retreat, what do you want to do?" the third sister's tone trembled a little, but she still stopped in front of the iron fence.

"I'm Wren! Don't hurt her...... She's innocent!"

Wren thought that he was about to see an unbearable scene, but he didn't expect that the other party completely took Aurelian as air, and his next words were completely unexpected.

"I am the commander of the Iron Axe of the First Army, and His Highness Roland has ordered me to come to you," the man said in a deep voice, "and he asked me to tell you that Mr. Pello wants to see you." (To be continued.) )
