Obould returned to his room after he released the carrier pigeon.
The unexpected turn of events caused the marquis to become anxious in his heart.
A few deep breaths didn't change the situation, so the marquis resorted to a more direct and effective method.
A crystal bottle the size of a grown man's thumb was carefully taken out by the marquis from the cupboard in the corner of the room.
Then, he carefully opened the cork.
The marquis then placed the crystal bottle beside his mouth.
He raised his neck, and about half of the transparent liquid in the crystal bottle entered the marquis' mouth.
Huu! Huu Huu!
After drinking the liquid, the marquis started to take deep breaths again but unlike before, after a few deep breaths, the anxiety on his face was completely gone, leaving behind a relaxed and satisfied expression. It could even be said …
Like a fairy!
The whole process only lasted a few seconds. The marquis unwillingly twisted the cork and put the crystal bottle back into the cupboard.
"Ghastly Woods Sect's potion is really something.
Too bad …
I can't use it often. "
The marquis shook his head in regret when he thought about Dolor's warning from Ghastly Woods Sect.
If it was possible, he hoped that he could enjoy this relaxing method every day … no, every moment of the day.
"If I get into power, I will give Ghastly Woods Sect more support, allowing them to develop this potion to the extreme!"
Uncontrollably, the marquis had such a thought in his heart.
At the same time, he heard the gulping of saliva.
Turning his head, the Marquis saw a black figure standing in front of him.
The figure's face was unfamiliar yet somehow familiar.
However, what concerned the marquis the most was that the figure was gulping and wiping its saliva, as well as the gaze of a predator.
"Who are you?
You … "
Instinctively, the marquis shouted at the figure fiercely.
Unfortunately, before the marquis could finish his question, the black figure pushed him away, grabbed the crystal bottle, and tossed it into his mouth along with the bottle.
Amid the crunching noise, the crystal bottle was crushed and the liquid inside flowed into Gluttony's stomach.
Then …
Cough, Cough, Cough!
"Disgusting!
"It's disgusting!"
Amidst the violent coughs, Gluttony spat out all the medicinal liquid, including the crystal bottle.
For the first time, Gluttony felt it was hard to swallow.
There was even a slight urge to vomit.
The feeling was unfamiliar to Gluttony, and it was something he would never want to experience again. Also, he was furious at the marquis before him.
Obould was dumbfounded as he looked at the scene.
It was only when Gluttony cast his gaze over that the marquis finally reacted to the situation.
"Don't come near me!"
"I, I …"
The Marquis screamed.
Just like a little girl.
But unlike the innocent young lady, the marquis' scream was to attract the attention of the hidden guards in the surroundings.
However, no matter how loud he screamed, he would not attract anyone's attention.
It was especially so for the sleeping guards.
That's right, he was sleeping soundly!
It was a deep sleep that could not be woken up at all.
Sloth squinted his eyes and leaned against the wall. The warm sunlight made him yawn uncontrollably.
"So warm."
"So comfortable."
"I want to sleep."
As if he was talking in his sleep, Sloth, who was leaning against the wall, fell limply on the ground, as if he couldn't hold back his sleepiness and was about to fall asleep.
As a matter of fact, snoring sounded at the very next moment.
It was not Sloth, nor was it the sleeping guards. Instead, it was a figure that just appeared from the shadows.
The figure's tattered robe had a slight stench to it.
Rustling noises later, a bunch of bugs fell off the robe.
Every single bug curled up or stretched out, but all of them fell into a deep sleep without exception.
Sloth laid limply on the ground like a pile of mud, looking at the unsurprised attacker and muttering, "So troublesome! I want to sleep under the sun! "
His mutters were full of complaints.
However, in the end, Sloth staggered up and walked towards another street.
There was more than one attacker.
He had to deal with all of them.
As for Gluttony?
Sloth didn't expect Gluttony, who cared about nothing other than eating, to help him. Although according to the ideal plan, Sloth would deal with the room and Gluttony would deal with the rest.
However, when the marquis took out the drinkable liquid, Gluttony barged into the room uncontrollably and messed up Sloth's plan.
"Too far away."
"And the other one?"
"It's too much!"
"As expected, am I destined to be a hard worker?"
"Why is it like this? Life is really unfair. "
Sloth mumbled again as he slowed down his steps. However, those Ghastly Woods Sect people hiding in Riverdale had fallen asleep before Sloth could even get close to them.
…
Warren Palace, Council Hall.
Mary was sitting beside the throne, bending over the study table in front of her and drafting a new document.
Although most of the time, this kind of work was done by the clerk, this time, the meaning of this matter was entirely different.
Mary had to finish it herself.
It was the insistence of the young princess.
Duke Eldar wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Mary stopped him.
"Duke Eldar, please don't say anything that will put me in a difficult position."
"From the bottom of my heart, I respect you because of what you have done for Warren and also because you are a true noble."
"But at the same time, I also know what 2567 has done!"
"You are the same to my father, 2567 is the same to me."
"And I will never disappoint those who trust me."
Mary didn't even look up, her quill pen was swiftly writing beautiful and sharp words.
Eldar looked at the words that appeared one after another and then at the familiar yet strange face before him. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
Compromise.
Eldar compromised against Mary's reaction.
With a sigh, Duke Eldar signaled Duke Zilin who had been quiet all this while.
A chair was brought over right away.
In the council hall of the palace, only a handful of people were qualified to sit, even the current Duke Zilin was a little short.
However, Eldar wasn't one of them.
It was because of his age and also because of his achievements.
"You need to make some changes here. 2567 still can't represent the royal family of Warren at the moment. Even if he becomes the regent, the queen is still you. So, you need to make your stand clear. You need to tell everyone what those nobles who were stripped of their titles and identity did."
Eldar, who was sitting on the chair and watching Mary write, suddenly spoke.
Mary raised her head in slight astonishment and took a glance at the old duke. Then, her lips curled up into a faint smile.
"Thank you."
The young princess thanked him sincerely.
"No need!
I am doing this for the royal family of Warren and James, not for you. "
Eldar grunted but he wasn't stingy with his advice.
Even with her mother's excellent education, drafting such a document was still too strenuous for Mary. With Eldar's help, the process was much smoother.
20 minutes later, a complete document without any loopholes was presented.
Mary rubbed her fingers and passed the document to Eldar.
The elderly duke was stunned for a moment before he grunted again. He took the documents and started to check them carefully.
No one would stop him from checking.
Even Mary and the young duke held their breath, trying their best not to disturb Eldar.
Therefore, when some noises came, it was very obvious.
Tssk Gak!
The door was pushed open and the three of them instantly turned their gazes to the door.
Then, all three of them were stunned.
