Chapter 198

Two majestic guards, armed with halberds, stood in front of a yew gate. Behind the door is the study of viscount Buryat, in which Viscount deals with family affairs. There are many important documents, letters, documents and contracts. This is the central place of Yeliu city. No one can enter without the permission of the master. Now the master of this study is Lord Austin.

In the dark narrow corridor, there was a slight sound of footsteps. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. A guard shouted, "who is there?"

"It's me"

A candle lit up at the corner of the corridor, and the slim figure appeared in the halo. The visitor was wearing a thin linen waist maid petticoat. Her hair was wrapped in a white handkerchief. She held a candle in one hand and twisted the corner of her skirt in the other. When she approached the door of the study, the guard saw a familiar pretty face by the light of the torch on the wall and immediately relaxed.

"Philip, it's you." A young guard said gallantly.

The beautiful maid greeted the two guards, "Uncle DURU, brother Jason."

"Philip, what can I do for you?" Asked the older guard kindly.

Fili, the maid, said softly, "it's raining outside. Master primo's room is a little wet and cold. Madam asked me to take some amber to purify the air in the room."

The design of stone castle focuses on defense. The internal ventilation conditions are not good. Dark and humid rooms are easy to breed many molds and mosquitoes. Amber not only has the effect of removing poison, but also can purify the indoor air. Aristocrats place amber in the castle and let it volatilize slowly, which can make the air in the room as fresh as in the forest. If amber is heated with flame, its purification effect will be better.

Although amber is expensive, the Buryat family can't afford it. Amber is available in this study. Although Philip is Mrs. Judy's maid, it's a little irregular to go to the study to get amber.

The old guard said to the maid Philip, "madam, you should go to the warehouse to get amber."

Philip hesitated and said, "Uncle DURU, the warehouse is in the basement. It's too far away. Now it's dark, and I'm a little afraid." Seeing the guard unmoved, she said, "I don't want to see Virgil's disgusting face."

Since Austin took over the power of the family, yeliubao also fell into his control. Although Austin did not treat Judy's mother and son badly, there were always sycophantic villains who wanted to show their loyalty to him, and Virgil, the storekeeper, was one of them. DURU sympathized with Lady Judy's experience, but there was nothing he could do, let alone let the lady's maid enter the study, which was personally explained by Lord Austin.

DURU shook his head firmly, and Jason looked away from Philip's pretty face in shame. Philip stepped forward, took Jason by the sleeve and begged, "brother Jason, please, for the sake of the Viscount, let me in! I'll come out with the amber and I won't cause you any trouble."

Jason couldn't bear to see the object he wanted to talk to, but he saw that Philip's eyes were full of hope. He just felt that Philip was his favorite person and he had to help her. Everything else was unimportant. DURU was also attracted by Philip's eyes. The middle-aged guard was in a trance. His mind was full of the benefits of viscount Buryat and Lady Judy, as well as the loyalty oath he had made, while Lord Austin's majesty and the fate of his family gradually faded in his heart. Jason and drew looked at each other and made way for the door.

"Thank you."

Feili bowed to them, pushed open the door and entered the study.

With the help of candlelight, Philip looked at the study. The layout of the study has changed. Philip looks sad. She used to be able to go in and out of the study at will, but now it has become her forbidden area.

In fact, becoming more than a study. Since the death of the Viscount, lady Judy's situation has become worse and worse. After Austin was appreciated by Archduke Williams, the situation has become worse. The housekeeper loyal to lady Judy was transferred, and the remaining people went to please the new housekeeper. As Mrs. Judy's personal maid, Philip's status has also deteriorated sharply. Even the storehouse management began to covet her body.

Philip hated Austin. She served Judy since she was a child. Originally, lady Judy would let her become the close maid of the viscount. Although the Viscount died in the war, as long as the lady continues to run the Buryat family, Philip can also have a good home, but now she can only become the wife of a civilian. It's all because Austin wants to win the family title.

Fili couldn't resist her fate. Her father was just an ordinary vassal, but I don't know when, fili wanted to bring down Austin. This idea became stronger and stronger. She finally did something she didn't dare to think about at ordinary times: stealing documents.

This morning, Philip noticed that the new housekeeper walked into the castle with dew. His face was pale and his feet were hurried. He didn't even respond to his heart and stomach and went directly into Austin's study. Before long, the housekeeper left the castle in a hurry. He called Austin's confidants into the study. In the afternoon, the Knights and Austin left. Their faces were blue and the people in the castle were terrified.

Intuition told Philip that something had happened and had something to do with her wife! Fili tried to recall the details. She vaguely remembered that the housekeeper had held a sheepskin stationery. The image of the stationery became clearer and clearer in her memory, even the patterns on it. A voice told Philip that it was very important to take your stationery!

The pattern of the study was no longer the same, but the cabinet for storing documents was still in place. Philip quickly opened the cabinet door and filled it with the same sheepskin scrolls. Philip remembered the pattern of the scroll again. She searched quickly and soon saw the scroll.

That's it!

Philip opened the letter, the contents of which made her cover her mouth, and her eyes were full of horror.

You must tell madam! Philip picked up the letter, closed the cabinet door and hurried out of the study. She didn't think of greeting the guard and went straight to her wife's bedroom. The guard didn't respond. It seemed that Philip was a mass of air.

When Philly entered the Viscount's bedroom, lady Judy was sitting by the bed, looking lovingly at her sleeping son. Seeing that Philip broke in without knocking, she frowned and said unhappily, "Philip, what's your etiquette?"

Philip quickly bent her knees and bowed, came up to her throat and said softly, "madam, I have got the letter."

"Who told you to do that? You're crazy!"

Philip's boldness shocked Judy. In terms of the current situation, once the matter was exposed, she could not keep her personal maid.

In fact, Judy has given up.

Since the death of the Viscount, Austin took over the command of the family army and was promoted to a great knight in the battle against the ant man. After the ant disaster, the Buryat family rewarded them for their achievements, and Austin fought for the manor for the family Knights without fief. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Judy had to divide the territory directly under the Viscount to reward those emerging knights. As a result, these Knights became supporters of Austin.

Austin's practice of sacrificing family interests and buying people's hearts aroused Judy's vigilance, but she was not worried that Austin would seek family inheritance. Blood inheritance is the content of the glorious code, and the eldest son inheritance system is a system formed by the Lord class for thousands of years, which will ensure that the family will not fall into internal strife and split.

Although Austin is a great knight, he is not qualified to challenge the tradition of the Lord. He will not be recognized within the family, and other lords will not tolerate this behavior. Everyone believes that the Buryat family should be inherited by primo, and Austin can take charge of the family power as his guardian before he reaches adulthood. Behind Judy is the support of the SoLIM family.

The SoLIM family is the source of the blood of the Buryat family, and it is their responsibility and obligation to maintain the eldest son inheritance system. Although the SoLIM family has declined, they are far above the Buryat family in terms of strength and influence. However, Archduke Williams extended a helping hand to Austin and changed the situation of the Buryat family.

With Williams' support, the SoLIM family no longer exerted pressure on Austin. Austin began to reduce the superfluous population of the family, which was no longer dissatisfied with and useless to the expelled neighbors. Those who stayed were obedient and grateful to Austin.

Austin has strong support outside and popular support inside. He can inherit the family title only with the consent of the church. Judy realized that the general situation was gone. Now she just wanted to wait for the dust to settle, and then take her son away from Yeliu city to live a stable life.

In the afternoon, Philip told Judy what she saw, but Judy didn't agree with her to steal the documents, but Philip did so.

In spite of Judy's sullen face, Philip handed her the scroll and said, "madam, this is a private letter from Archduke Williams to Austin. The letter said that his majesty put pressure on Williams and Archduke can no longer help Austin. Madam, Austin has been abandoned by Archduke! Young master primo can inherit the family again!"

"What!" Judy took the letter and read it. A layer of water mist floated in her beautiful eyes. She grabbed Philip's hand and choked, "great! Great! Philip, my sister, thank you... Thank you."

"What are you going to do, madam?" Asked Philip.

Judy calmed down, thought carefully and said, "Austin has lost the support of the Archduke. He is no longer qualified to trample on the family inheritance. I will send someone to inform the SoLIM family and ask them to intervene in this matter."

"Madam, before that, we have to let the young master survive!"

"This..." Judy suddenly realized that now was the most dangerous time. Austin was likely to murder primo and inherit the family title.

"What? What?" Judy wandered around the room. A moment later, she said, "we took this letter and left overnight to seek the protection of the SoLIM family. Yes! That's it! Philip, pack up and we'll go right away!"

Judy began to pack up, but Philip stood there motionless.

"Philly?"

Philip stepped forward, stared into Judy's eyes and said, "madam, Austin is a great knight. He is more valuable to the SoLIM family!"

Judy was attracted by Philip's deep eyes. Her consciousness blurred. She felt that Philip was the most trustworthy person. She asked involuntarily, "what should I do?"

"Madam, only the queen can protect us now! We should try to go to the king's capital, live in the king's capital, and come back to inherit the title when the young master grows up. Only in this way can Austin dare not act rashly."

Philip's voice sounded in Judy's ear, making her naturally add details.

As the leader of the southern lords, the SoLIM family has declined, and their influence on the southern Lords is becoming smaller and smaller. Archduke Williams supported Austin to strengthen the royal family's control over the southern blood lords, but the queen would not allow her uncle to seek the inheritance of her nephew, so Austin's behavior aroused a strong backlash from her majesty. The SoLIM family is more willing to win over a great knight to expand their influence, but they can't reveal it publicly. If you take primo to join the SoLIM family, you are likely to be under house arrest or even killed by them!

"Philip, what should we do?"

After figuring out the joint of things, Judy had a great dependence on her maid. She didn't realize that how could Philip have such wisdom? Unexpectedly, the situation facing the queen is not the same as her situation. Prince Edward is not the first successor at all, and his inheritance right is still after Williams!

"Madam, our only way out is to turn from the horse hill to the king's capital and seek the shelter of her majesty! This is the safest escape route, because the York family will not pay attention to a great Knight!"

Judy said, "you're right! My father's territory is close to the Renma hill. Please send someone to escort us into the Renma hill, and then try to go to the Wangdu."

"No!" Fili objected, "madam, this will not only trouble the master and your brother, but also expose our whereabouts. We'll sneak ourselves."

Judy said without hesitation, "OK! Listen to you." Then she said in embarrassment, "but we don't have a guard. How can we get to the Wangdu?"

"Give it to me!" Philip smiled softly

In the candlelight, Philip's smile was unspeakably strange.

When Mrs. Judy's motorcade left yeliucheng, in a quiet forest, two men sat around the campfire, one of whom had completely white eyes.

A small black spot appeared in the white eyes and gradually became a normal pupil. The man took a deep breath and said weakly, "it's done. Let's go too!"

Another thin man asked, "so anxious? Qianmian has just finished the task."

The man smiled bitterly and said, "the time is too short. I can only charm them for three days through the maid. We must arrive at Randall's collar before them. After completing the task, evacuate quickly."

The thin man frowned and asked, "what if the guards charmed by you wake up and give the Viscount mother and son to Austin?"

"That's so simple!" The man smiled proudly and said, "I just amplified the desire in their hearts and guided their behavior, not controlling them. Since they took refuge in the Viscount, there has been no retreat. They will only continue to comfort themselves and firmly believe that their choice is correct."

"Mortals always like to cheat themselves!"

"I'm a demagogue!"
