Western Fantasy: I can brush entries infinitely

Chapter 14 Melittoia
morning.

Ron got a report from Egbert, and met the uninvited guest in the living room of the mansion.

"I have seen the Lord."

When Ron appeared in the living room, there were intermittent salutes.

Ron walked straight past the crowd without squinting, came to the main seat, and looked at them after he sat down. There were four uninvited guests, which were divided into two parties in Egbert's report.

He looked to the left first, and there were two adults in a male-female combination plus a little boy, about five years old.

Looking to the right, there is a little girl who is also five years old, but she is alone, with her head down and she looks dumb.

"All sit down."

When Ron spoke, everyone present finally dared to take a breath. The solemn atmosphere just now made them forget to breathe.

"Diana, serve them tea."

"Yes."

As the head maid, Diana didn't need to do it herself, she just needed to arrange it. Today, it happened that Joyce was on duty. After receiving the order, Joyce served hot tea for the four of them.

She didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and the secret of the former baron was exposed to everyone like this.

That's right, what was hidden in that wooden box was the fact that the former baron had an illegitimate child outside.

But what Joyce couldn't understand was why there were two?
"Thank you, Lord Lord." The man acted cautiously, and he was about to take a sip after taking it with both hands.

At this time, Ron's voice sounded, "Who are you to this child? And this lady?"

The man hurriedly put down the tea he had picked up, and replied, "My lord, the commoner's name is Benden. He lives in a small village under the town of Barris. He is the uncle of this child."

"My name is Tabitha and I am the mother of this child."

Ron looked at the woman who spoke. She was in her early twenties, with exquisite features and an outstanding figure. In terms of her appearance, it was indeed possible for the former baron to fall in love with her.

He glanced at the woman, nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the little boy between them.

Surprisingly, the little boy did not panic, and was more calm than the two adults beside him.

Ron looked at the little boy with his eyes, and the other party didn't avoid it, but met his eyes, not at all cowardly. Of course, this was also the reason why Ron didn't use his power.

"What's your name?"

Facing Ron's question, Benden wanted to answer for the little boy, "His name is."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was frightened by Ron's eyes, "Am I asking you?"

The man shivered and didn't dare to speak any more, he just winked at the little boy secretly.

"Brother, my name is Jonas." Jonas replied, his words were clear enough for everyone present to hear.

Egbert was taken aback when he heard him call Ron 'brother', Diana and the maids looked at the little boy changed.

Ron was not angry, but smiled tolerantly, "You may not be my younger brother yet, let's wait until later."

"My father is a former baron, and you are my brother." The expression on Jonas' face was very sure, not fake at all.

Ron didn't reply, but looked at the little girl who had been silent.

Benden and Tabitha also noticed his gaze, and their complexions immediately became uneasy.

Ron said slowly, "Egbert, take these three to the guest room to rest, don't neglect them."

"Yes, my lord."

Egbert responded, he couldn't figure out what Ron was thinking at the moment, and he didn't dare to disobey the lord's order. Maybe this kid named Jonas was really the illegitimate son of the former baron, and the lord's younger brother?

There are not many people who can stay in the living room, after all, it is about the privacy of Baron Arnold's family.Even if this matter cannot be hidden, it cannot be discussed in front of everyone.

After Egbert took the three of them away, only Ron, Diana, Joyce and the little girl remained.

As for Irene, she didn't know about it, and Ron didn't let her come, so she should try 'pudding' in the back kitchen now.

"What's your name? Why did you come by yourself?" Ron's tone was neither serious nor serious, speaking at a level that could be heard by the little girl.

Even so, the little girl trembled in fright, and replied in a panic: "My name is Melittoia, and I came here alone."

Even when Melittoya was talking, she still kept her head down. She was sitting on the sofa, her face was almost pressed against the table, so Ron could only see the small whirlpool on top of her pale red head.

Ron was speechless, and he didn't bully her, why were he so afraid?
"I'm asking about your family members? Egbert told me that you are here to find your brother. Do you have proof? Show it out." Ron said lightly.

Melittoia trembled even more now.

She faltered and said: "My mother passed away due to illness not long ago. She told me that there is an elder brother who is the lord here, and she also gave me a letter to prove his identity."

"What about the letter?"

"The letter is lost."

Ron: "..."

"You really are stupid enough to lose such an important thing." Ron was speechless.

This sentence was very common, but Diana heard something else in her ears. Her eyes moved back and forth between Ron and the little girl, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Yes, I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry for what you said to me, forget it, Diana." Ron knew that there was no point in talking, so he called out.

Diana stepped forward, "What's your order, my lord?"

"Wait for her to calm down, give her something to eat, and arrange a room for her to stay in. Remember, don't pick hard food, it's not easy to digest." Ron gave several orders one after another, and after finding nothing wrong, he took Joyce away into the living room.

As soon as I left the living room, I found that Irene was guarding the door with a small plate.

"Master, I have been looking for you for a long time. Mr. Egbert said that you are here, so I will wait for you." Irene said excitedly.

"What's so urgent? You have to wait for me here." Ron's eyes fell on the plate in her hand, and he had some guesses in his heart.

"By the way, I have already completed the task you gave me last time. Come and taste it, does it taste like this?"

While talking, Irene lifted the lid to reveal the pudding inside. Ron took a closer look and found that it really looked good and was very soft.

He picked up a spoon, dug a small piece and tasted it, and it tasted good.

"Well, it's okay. You pass the test."

As soon as these words came out, Irene was so excited that she was about to jump up, which meant that the punishment would end in a few days, and she could eat and drink again.

"This pudding is delivered to the little girl inside. Well, you are allowed to take half a day off, and you can come to me in the afternoon." Ron left after speaking, but Irene was a little confused.

When she opened the door and walked into the living room, she found that Diana was comforting a little girl. When she saw Irene coming in, Diana changed her face and returned to her usual seriousness, as if she had just been hallucinating.

Irene was greatly surprised, could this be Diana's 'true face'? !

Surprised, she sat down next to the little girl with a plate of pudding, and the pudding was gently placed in front of Melittoia.

Diana noticed that the corner of the pudding had been moved, and Irene obviously didn't have the guts to do it. It seemed that it was done by the lord.

Do you share a share with your sister?

Diana felt a little envious in her heart.

study.

Ron gave Joyce half of the documents he sent as usual. He often lamented his wit. With such a good 'tool' in his hand, he could relax a lot, and the time he saved was spent on writing entries and practicing .

He is not afraid of big problems. Before the new policy is issued, the territory will not be chaotic.

Facing such a lord, Joyce has nothing to do. From the first one or two books to the current half, she has given up resistance, and sometimes even enjoys it.

Applying what he learned from books to government affairs gave Joyce a sense of accomplishment.

Joyce was processing the paperwork while recalling what happened in the living room just now. According to Ron's behavioral analysis, he already knew that Melitia was his sister, and that Jonas was a counterfeit.

However, the secret left by the former baron did not specify the sex of the illegitimate child, but only stated that there was such an illegitimate child. How did the lord tell the difference?
Joyce found that the more he got along with the lord, the more mysterious he became.She began to be absent-minded and did not write down the pen for a long time.

"Encountered a problem?" Ron's voice came, waking her up.

Ashamed, Joyce stood up and said, "Sorry, my lord, I was distracted."

Ron looked at her, and Joyce couldn't help asking: "Miss Melittoia is your sister, how did you know?"

"Don't say she is my sister, I haven't acknowledged her identity yet." Ron said indifferently.

Joyce pursed her lips, she would not believe Ron's words.All the previous things, Ron cared about Melittoia more than a hundred times more.

Here, Ron is a little helpless about Joyce's question. Does he still have to give a class on biogenetics?

Melittoya's light red short hair can already explain it very well, it is obviously born by a father.

Ron thought for a while, and said: "You can try to think about it differently. A child who doesn't know who his father is, and only has his mother by his side, will inevitably receive strange looks from others. Being in such an environment will be how?"

Joyce suddenly thought of Melittoia, who was as cautious, inferior and timid as she was.

"What's the name of that?"

"Jonas."

"Well, that's the name!" Ron recalled it, making Joyce want to laugh, and said that he didn't recognize her as his sister. It must be Miss Litoya.

"Look at Jonas's calmness that doesn't match his age. He doesn't want to be a child at all."

Joyce nodded silently, and a doubt appeared in his heart, "Since the lord knows everything, why do you keep those three people in the mansion?"

Ron smiled, "Who knows? Maybe because it's too boring?"

-

Egbert was ordered to settle the three of Jonas in the house, and gave the three of them the best treatment, including the best food and clothing, which made the three very excited.

"The lord said that you will live in the mansion from now on. If you need anything, just come to me. I am the housekeeper here, and I can help you with most things." Egbert said with a smile.

"Mr. Butler, I'm sorry to trouble you." Benden wanted to say something, but Tabitha spoke first.

"You are distinguished guests, this is what I should do. I still have things to do in the mansion, so I will go down first." Egbert said and left.

After the housekeeper left, Tabitha turned around excitedly, looked at the luxurious room, and laughed: "I can live here forever, and I don't need to go back to that dirty place again."

Ben Deng gave her a dissatisfied look, but said nothing.Jonas, who was on the side, glanced at them with cold eyes, and then stayed alone.

On the other side, on the training ground.

The knights did not train, but gathered around Sig, only to hear him say indignantly: "If the illegitimate son of the previous lord comes back, I, Sig, will be the first to refuse!"

"Yes, me too." Everyone else agreed.

At this time, a voice sounded behind everyone.

"What are you all doing together? You don't need to train? Where is Mr. Egbert? I have something important to ask him."

Seeger turned his head to look, and said pleasantly: "Captain Abel, you are finally back, let me tell you, something big happened in the mansion!"

Abel frowned immediately after hearing what he said. Instead of yelling like Seeger, he continued to ask, "Tell me where Mr. Egbert is?"

"It should be in the hall."

After receiving the answer, Abel left in a hurry.Leaving behind the confused Sig, he asked the others puzzledly: "Did I not make it clear just now? Something big is going to happen to the Baron's mansion!"

Buprofen couldn't stand it anymore, and cursed: "You idiot, what if the illegitimate son of the former baron lives in? Can you still shake the position of the lord? You will betray the lord?"

"That's absolutely impossible, my loyalty to the lord is unshakable!" Sig said immediately.

"Isn't that enough?"

Seeger suddenly felt that what Ibuprofen said made sense, "Then let's continue training?"

"What are you training for, it's time to cut down trees!"

"Go!"

-

On the other side, Abel quickly found Egbert in the hall, and he pulled Egbert aside.

"Mr. Egbert, you have some information about what you told me. And I think the incident of the illegitimate child today is not too coincidental?" Abe said meaningfully.

Egbert was taken aback, startled suddenly, and said, "Mr. Abel, are you saying that this may be related to that incident?"

"Not so sure," Abel said honestly.

Egbert narrowed his eyes, "If this is the case, we can't continue to investigate, we must report to the lord immediately."

The two discussed it and walked towards the study.

After a while, Egbert's voice sounded outside the study. Ron sat upright and didn't understand. Joyce stepped forward to open the door. Egbert glanced at her unexpectedly, and then walked into the study with Abel middle.

"Lord Lord."

"Let's talk about anything. Mr. Abel came to see me too. It should be a big deal." Ron smiled.

Egbert didn't immediately explain why he came, but glanced at Joyce who was on the side. Ron realized that she couldn't let her know what he said next, and nodded to her.

Joyce saluted, then exited the study.

"Tell me, it's mysterious."

Egbert and Abel looked at each other, and then said: "Your lord, you asked Mr. Abel to investigate the black crow. We thought of a way to try to lure him into the bait. We took advantage of Ms. Elva's death."

Ron was very calm when he heard the news of Elva's death. He took a deep look at the two and continued to listen.

"But the other party was unmoved. Mr. Abel has not let up. Only recently did he have a clue. However, this morning."

Speaking of this, Egbert paused.Ron saw that he was worried, so he said, "It's okay, let's continue."

"All the signs collected by Mr. Abel indicate that the Black Crow Organization is not as simple as ordinary robbers, and someone is manipulating them behind them. In addition, today someone claims to be the illegitimate son of the former Lord Baron, I doubt it."

Before Egbert finished speaking, Ron said, "No, the illegitimate child is true."

"what?!"

Egbert and Abel stared at each other, dumbfounded.
