Groom's Troubles Goblin's Melancholy

The child curled up and rolled on the ground with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Nord was so frightened that he was at a loss and quickly picked him up.

"Stomach...stomachache..." Ricky groaned as he curled up in Nord's arms, completely losing his previous anger.

Nord ran back to the mansion sweating profusely with the child in his arms, panicked and overwhelmed.He didn't see the butler when he entered the door, so Nord had no choice but to go directly to the living room to find someone.

"Duke! Young Master Ling yells that his stomach hurts."

Dylan, who was fighting with the adjutant on the chessboard, jumped up and rushed over to hug the child, "Are you sick again?" Then he ordered: "Saul, you and the adjutant go to call the doctor, Lieutenant General Nord , would you please go to the room with the fireplace and help me get the orange bottle of medicine? It's the leftover medicine from Ricky's last illness."

"What's going on?" Saul was taken aback, but he had never heard of Ricky having any illness.

Nord took a step and turned his head suddenly, just in time to meet Dilan's staring eyes.

"Your Excellency, please tell me which room is the one with the fireplace."

Di Lan's eyes darkened, and he said, "I'm in a hurry, the sixth room in the corridor on the right upstairs."

Nord nodded and walked up quickly.

Saul already understood, stared at Dylan and said, "You actually teach children to pretend to be sick!"

Ricky, who was nestled in Dilan's arms, turned his face and stuck out his tongue at him, then turned his head and hugged Dilan's neck.

Sol walked out of the door and looked around to make sure that there was no one else. He walked back to the room and gave Dilan a serious lesson: "Can you stop going crazy!"

Dilan kneaded Ricky's little face and praised him for his cleverness, without even looking at Saul, he said, "Didn't you tell me to forget Tesla, then I'm just chasing a new object now, isn't it right for you?" Do you want to?"

Saul was choked, and said again: "Are you sure you didn't ask him to be a substitute?"

"Why? Didn't you say that, they don't look alike at all." Di Lan said with a half-smile.

"...It's fine if you don't."

Sol's body was emitting ultra-low air pressure, and Ricky, a sensitive child, also noticed the bad atmosphere. He whispered in Dylan's arms, "Daddy, I want to sleep."

Di Lan said yes, and carried the child back to the room.

When Nord returned to the living room with the bottle, the two of them were gone, leaving only Saul standing gloomily in the middle of the living room.

"They went back to their room to rest, and the housekeeper went to help call the doctor, and they will be fine. There is nothing we can help, let's go." Saul said with a straight face.

"Really." Nord didn't ask much, and left with the adjutant and Saul.

The next day, Nord came to the Duke's castle again because he was worried.

Ricky happily ran out to welcome him, and though a little surprised, Nord was relieved to see the child alive and well.

"You saved my son again, you are really a great benefactor to our family." Dylan grabbed Nord's hand and smiled all over his face.

Nord tried a little hard but couldn't pull his hand out of Dylan's palm. Instead, his palm was wet from the heat between his fingers, and he had to speak out to remind him.

"Your Excellency, please let go."

Dilan ignored his pleas, put his hand close to his lips and almost kissed it, and his eager snort sprayed over the sensitive hair on the back of his hand, which made him tremble slightly with itching.

But just before his lips touched the back of his hand, Di Lan's movements were interrupted by the butler's knock on the door.

It turned out that Nord's adjutant also came to the door.

Dilan was still holding on to Nord's hand, and without looking at the butler, he said, "Please wait in the lobby for a while."

"No, he's here to pick me up. I'll go down and go back with him."

"Your adjutant is really inseparable from you."

Di Lan's eyes were fixed on the eyes under the mask of Nord, and the eager gaze gave Nord the illusion that the mask had been torn off.He tensed his nerves and managed to hold back without turning his head to avoid it.

"That's natural, we are partners through life and death."

"How did you become a crew member?" Di Lan ignored his answer and asked another topic.

"It's very ordinary, not worth mentioning. I should go, please let go."

Nord had no intention of continuing the unnecessary entanglement with Dilan, and gritted his teeth to warn, but Dilan just showed a presumptuous and rude smile.

"If you promise to ride alone with me for a while, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will tell your adjutant that you are not leaving and stay here today."

Nord felt a wave of frustration at not being able to successfully communicate with another grown man.

The adjutant who was waiting in the hall couldn't help becoming anxious when he saw that Nord hadn't come out for a long time.

The housekeeper said: "Please be patient, the master and the lieutenant general will come later."

The adjutant ignored him and decided to search the castle without authorization.Anyway, they didn't go out, so they must still be inside.

Dilan put the horse between his legs and happily rode with Nord.He stared at Nord intently, feeling that he looked exactly like that man, whether it was the way he led the horse or the way he rode the horse.

What surprised him even more was that Nord's horse riding skills were not inferior to his own.Although all the horses in his stable are famous, not all of them are easy to control, but Nord just picked one at random, and after a short ride, he dominated the rhythm of the horses.

"I didn't expect you to be at sea all year round, and your riding skills are so good."

Nord didn't say anything, but raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing."

Nord rode forward without warning, as if a monster was chasing behind him, and ran desperately out of sight of his pursuers.

Di Lan laughed a few times, then chased after him with a whip, but found that he could hardly keep up with him.

And Nord rode his horse all the way to the edge of the fief, where there were no guards or moats, because it was a cliff, like a natural barrier.

"Wait! Don't go any further!" Di Lan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat on the horseback.

Nord shows no signs of slowing down.

He rode his horse all the way to the edge of the cliff, only to stop the horse with a sudden jerk of the rein in the last few yards.

The small stones kicked up by the horse rolled down to the bottom of the cliff a few times.

Dilan then caught up, and before he could speak, Nord started running back again, and Dilan had to keep chasing back.

Nord was back where he was one step ahead of him, and handed the horse to the stable boy, ready to ride away.

Di Lan jumped off the horse and walked towards him, hugging him all at once.

"You won. It scared me into a heart attack." Di Lan was drenched in sweat, sweating cold, and he hadn't recovered from his breath yet.

"I got carried away in a moment." Nord was already a little excited because of the rapid stimulation, but after such a fiery embrace, the center of his body quickly hardened.

"Let go." He twisted his body so that Di Lan wouldn't notice his reaction.

"How dare you lie to me again like this? Huh?" Who is Dilan, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of Nord's body. He almost talked with his mouth close to Nord's face.

"Let go of me, someone is coming."

"Don't lie to me, this is my place, and no one can come in without my permission. Otherwise, I would be innocent even if I killed him." Di Lan said and choked his neck teasingly.

"I don't want to let go," Di Lan was about to lean over to kiss, and felt that Nord was not lying, and there was a sign that someone was coming behind him. When he looked back, he saw the adjutant who was stabbing with a dagger, Nord There was a roar behind him: "Stop!"

In the blink of an eye, Nord took advantage of the situation and grabbed Dilan towards him, then turned around and stood in front of Dilan.

The adjutant hurriedly retreated, but it was too late, the sharp point of the knife cut a long cut in his back, and the red blood that was picked out splashed.

All three were stunned.

Nord was the first to wake up, and he let go of Dylan to let the adjutant run away.

The adjutant looked at Nord, then at the red color of the blade, and was stunned.

It turned out that the adjutant had been looking for Nord in the castle for a long time, and found him a stable. The stable boy said that the Duke and the lieutenant general had gone out on horseback, so he hid aside and waited to prevent the housekeeper from chasing him.Just getting impatient with the wait, he thought about stealing the horse and chasing after him, but because of the vastness of the duke's fief, he had no direction to chase, so he finally endured until the stable boy led the horse into the stable and said that the man had returned, so he hurried go out.

Who knew that the captain and the Duke would be entangled not far away, and he could just see Nord's face from his angle. With the tacit understanding between the two for many years, even through the mask, he could see that Nord's face was gloomy and misty at the moment. Seeing that the Duke started to pinch Nord's neck, he misunderstood that the Duke was trying to kill the overlord if he failed to force his bow, so he was so angry that he drew his sword and stabbed it.

He had long been displeased with the way the Duke looked at the captain. The eyes with naked desire were exactly the same as that animal priest who bullied his sister.

The adjutant was still in a daze, and Nord rushed forward regardless of the wound and told him to run away.

"Assassinating the Duke is a serious crime. I'm fine, you run!" Nord whispered in the adjutant's ear.The adjutant hadn't recovered yet, but his body was used to obeying the captain's orders, and he started to run away.

Dilan's eyes were red with anxiety, and he wanted to call someone, but Nuode immediately turned around and grabbed him and begged him, "Let him go, I promise we will never show up in front of you again."

Dilan grabbed Nord with trembling hands to look at the bloody wound on his back, "I can promise you not to pursue it, but you can't leave, at least not until the injury is healed."

At Dilan's insistence, Nord agreed to go back to the castle for a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, but the doctor would leave after seeing him and would never stay overnight.

He refused Di Lan's support, and walked on by himself. When the butler led him to the living room, his lips were already pale from being brave, and he was sweating like rain.

It wasn't until his vision started to flicker that he realized that he was a little fainted due to excessive blood loss. He only had time to mutter "Don't take off my mask" before he fainted.

Di Lan anxiously waited for the doctor, watched him fall and wanted to take off his mask to wipe his sweat, and see his true face by the way.But he couldn't bear to destroy the trust they had just built.

When Nord woke up, he reached out to touch his face for the first time, and he was relieved to find that the mask was still on his face.

"Who is it?" Sensing someone in front of him, he immediately asked nervously.

After a closer look, it turned out to be the Duke's servant.That's right, he has a lot of thoughts right now, and if he sees the Duke, he doesn't know what to say.

Upon questioning, it turned out that he had been in a coma for three days and had a high fever due to a wound infection. Thanks to the doctor's skill, he was able to save his life, but if he asked about the rest, no one could answer him.He wanted to ask the butler, but the servant who took care of him just shook his head.

Then three days later, he never saw Di Lan, only the servants who were ordered to take care of him showed up.The servants took care of his food and daily life meticulously, but said nothing about other things.Needless to say, I knew that this was the master's instruction.

Nord wanted to leave immediately, but he couldn't find a steward and he didn't have a carriage. It's not a good idea to walk back on foot with his current physical strength, and it seems too unkind to leave without saying goodbye after receiving benefits, but continue to treat like this Going down is not an option...

After struggling for another three days, Nord finally felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and his physical strength has almost recovered, so let's go directly, and at worst, he will write a letter of apology later.Just when he thought so, Di Lan appeared again.
