Kevin's two guards were called into the room by Tang En. When they saw that Tang En, Elsa, and even a little girl were still awake, it was obvious that the bandits' hypnotic drugs did not take effect. The two guards' hearts sank.
Obviously, they had underestimated these people.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Tang En frowned slightly. These two guards were from another convoy. He had seen them on the road. They should not be in cahoots with the bandits. If that was the case, why did they come to open his door?
The guard captain had an idea and said in a deep voice, "We were attacked by bandits. After killing them, Young Master Kevin remembered that you were traveling with him. He was worried about your situation and asked me to come down and take a look."
The other guard almost cheered at this moment. As expected of the captain! His brain is more flexible than ours!
"So that's how it is."
Tang En suddenly understood. He smiled and said, "But the bandits on this floor have been taken care of … Even so, thank you very much. Please go back."
The guard captain was secretly relieved. He deliberately said in a serious tone, "There are still many bandits outside. We still have to clean them up. You should be more careful."
After saying that, he left the room with his men.
The moment he closed the door, he almost burst into tears and cheered. They had escaped from death! This was really a narrow escape from death! It was all thanks to his outstanding wisdom!
"Captain, you are really too —"
"Shh!"
The guard captain glared at him and pursed his lips towards the room. He then deliberately shouted, "Damn bandits! Come and die! "
He dragged his men along as he rushed towards the stairs. When he reached the stairs, he tiptoed up the stairs …
In the room, Elsa exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a kind noble other than the Lord. We really have to thank Young Master Kevin for his kindness."
"Kindness?"
Tang En's face was full of a strange smile, "Do you really think that they are here to help us kill the bandits?"
"Aren't they?"
"What if we are also under the hypnotic drugs and are all asleep? How can you be sure that they have good intentions and are not taking advantage of this opportunity to plunder our wealth? "
After a pause, Tang En looked at Elsa a little strangely, "— Or even have designs on you or Hilton?"
"Ah? It can't be? "
Elsa's face was still red as she had just taken a shower. She became even more nervous when she heard Tang En's words.
"Not necessarily, but it's very possible. Little girl, you must remember that you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you must always be on guard against others … And as for what the truth is, we will soon find out."
The corners of Tang En's mouth curled up. His Magical Eye had already quietly followed Kevin. He wanted to see if Kevin was really that kind or just a hypocrite.
"What truth?"
"Let's take a look."
Tang En waved his hand. Magic condensed the surrounding elements and formed a screen in front of him. It was the scene seen by the Magical Eye. At this moment, the Magical Eye had followed the two guards into the room.
Kevin frowned when he saw the guard captain return empty-handed. "What's going on? Where's that little girl called Elsa? "
"Young Master, something happened."
The guard captain said in a deep voice, "That Lord Tang En and Elsa are not asleep."
"Both are not asleep? So what? "
Kevin said with a look of disdain, "Just kill him and bring the girl here. When the robbers take the blame, can she still bite back? — — Hiss! Ah, ah, be gentle! You little devil, suck gently! "
"But Young Master," the guard captain lowered his head uncomfortably, "There's a master in their team … Although I don't know who it is, it's obvious that someone is protecting them."
"Is it that plump woman lying on the bed?"
The guard next to him interrupted, "Even that Lord Tang En has to guard by the side, but that woman dares to lie there and sleep so casually. She's obviously very confident in her own strength, right? Maybe she explained the situation and casually took some protective measures … "
"That woman called Hilton?"
The guard captain recalled for a moment and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Damn it! We've been tricked! "
"What's wrong?"
"We got the information from the Nali family's guard, but I just remembered that when they talked about these people, they were full of hostility. They probably deceived us! Tang En's identity may be true, but what about his strength? That guard didn't tell us that there's a master among them! It's very likely that Hilton is the master in disguise! "
The guard captain said angrily, "Damn it, that bastard dared to trick us!"
At this moment, Kevin finally came back to his senses, "In other words, that woman called … what was it again? That woman with a good figure and looks is actually a master secretly protecting them? And the Nali family's guard didn't tell us? "
"Young Master, it's very likely!"
"Hmph! Just a guard of the Nali family, how dare he! It seems that I have to have a good talk with the Nali family when I go back … Get out! Clean up the robbers outside, and don't disturb me if there's nothing important! "
Kevin was quite angry that he didn't get the beauties he expected. He immediately pulled out the two girls from under the blanket and pounced on them.
The two guards lowered their heads and left the room.
Downstairs.
"Did you hear that?"
Tang En said earnestly, "You have to be careful when you're outside, especially you, Elsa. You're so pretty, it's easy for others to covet you. You need to be careful."
"Ah … pretty? Me? I, I don't … "
Elsa was bashful and said with a red face, "I'm not even as pretty as sister Fiona …"
"Fiona would be very happy if she heard that."
Tang En laughed, "I didn't expect them to think that Hilton is a master, but it doesn't matter. Speaking of which, if you go to Alinx this time, if everything goes well, you'll probably inherit the title, right? Then, with the status of House Forier and the title of nobility, there will be fewer people who would dare to covet you. "
"That kind of thing … It doesn't matter …"
Elsa's face was full of shyness. She was still immersed in the joy of Tang En saying that she was pretty.
"Speaking of which, I'm curious too. If your father is from House Forier, why would he stay in Ellington?"
Tang En was really curious about this. The quest line related to House Forier in the game didn't mention this.
Elsa shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, "I don't know either. I think my parents were already in Ellington when I was born."
"Could it be …"
Tang En's gaze suddenly became a bit playful, "Could it be that your grandfather wasn't happy that your father wanted to marry your mother and wanted to break them up, so they eloped?"
"No, no way!"
"It's very possible. Think about it, your father is the heir of House Forier! In the Irus Empire, how many young girls dream of marrying him? In the end, he didn't care about other people's objections and resolutely chose your mother. He even fell out with your grandfather and had to elope with your mother to Ellington. In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed. You've grown up, so he asked you to go back and tell your grandfather, right? "
Tang En spread his hands, "You've grown up. Even if your grandfather didn't want to, I'm afraid he had to accept reality."
"Eh?! Is that really so?! "
Elsa's eyes widened. Although she felt that something was wrong, she felt that the lord's words made sense!
Not fearing the eyes of the world, holding on to the love in one's heart, and even eloping with one's lover. Wasn't this a classic plot that often appeared in knight novels?
Elsa was immediately intoxicated by it. It was as if she had returned to the past and saw the scene of her parents eloping for love. Her eyes became misty all of a sudden …
"… El … Sa … Elsa?"
"… Hmm?!"
Elsa suddenly came back to her senses and noticed Tang En's doubtful gaze. Her face immediately turned red and hot.
She had actually fallen into a knight's fantasy in front of the lord … How embarrassing! It was simply too embarrassing!
"It's quite late. You should go and rest."
Tang En pushed Elijah, who was clinging to him, to Elsa, "Elijah, you should go to sleep too! Children should sleep early! "
"Big brother, sleep with us too!"
Elijah blinked her big, watery eyes. After getting used to sticking to Tang En's side, it felt strange to sleep with her sister.
Although it was very comfortable to sleep on her sister's soft chest, it didn't feel as peaceful as sleeping next to her big brother.
"You two go to sleep first. I still have to pay attention to the battle outside."
Tang En glanced at the wooden window. The battle outside was still ongoing. If necessary, he had to clean up the remaining forces.
"Okay …"
Elijah pouted and got under the quilt first. Elsa hesitated for a moment and slowly got under the quilt with a red face. After covering herself, she carefully took off her outer clothes.
Although there was a quilt covering her, taking off her clothes in front of the lord … It was too shameful!
Tang En withdrew his gaze before this and went to the window. He teased Nola while looking at the situation outside.
At this moment, the battle on the street was coming to an end. Although Kevin's character was not good, the fighting strength of his guards was not bad. They completely crushed these bandits. The street was full of corpses and blood everywhere.
Nola lay on Tang En's shoulder and said, "You humans really like to kill each other. I don't understand what's going on with you."
"I don't understand either."
Tang En shook his head. The humans on earth liked to kill each other. Perhaps it could be attributed to their nature. But the humans in this world were created by God. Why did they like to kill each other?
Was this a natural defect of the human species?
At this moment, there was a loud bang on the street and a shrill scream resounded through the night sky.
