Ted Barrett stood on the balcony outside his study, quietly watching the boats on the lake.


    His sister telosi died. Milt inherited campers castle. Lingfeng castle had a tough attitude. The Duke was aware of it and began to guard against it


    The war led by Shanghe failed unexpectedly, and everything seemed to be developing in the worst direction.


    Footsteps came behind him. He heard his bodyguard call "madam", and then stepped back at the other party''s command.


    "Annette, how are those azaleas? How many are they in bloom?" he asked without turning around and looking ahead.


    "I''m not here to talk about flowers with you," Mrs. Annette said discontentedly as she stepped up to him. "Those damn rumors are resurgent. You must deal with them as soon as possible!"


    "Let them say, I can''t put all those people in prison. The more I pay attention to it, the more the civilians believe it."


    "That''s true!" said Mrs. Annette, gnashing her teeth. "That bastard walks under my eyes every day. I''ve had enough of this humiliation! How do you humiliate me? What good will it do to your Barrett family!"


    "What do you want me to do, kill all the people who talk about it! Telosi is dead, the Duke acknowledges milt''s succession to the family title, and Emily has nowhere to go."


    "Then take her to the town. In a word, don''t be in the castle. As long as I think of this little guy, I can''t stop reminding myself how you betrayed and deceived me! You trampled on the honor of our kenovi family. You disgraced me. You think the servants of the castle don''t know anything!"


    "Annette." Ted Barrett turned to hold his wife''s arm, looked at her gently and said softly, "now we''re in trouble. We shouldn''t quarrel about these unimportant things. Imagine our children, yvia and Boddy, I..."


    "Go away!" Mrs. Annette stepped back and shook her husband''s hands, "Ted, you make me feel sick! Don''t think you can deceive me. Emily''s evil seed has consumed your credit with me! If it weren''t for you, yvia would have had a happy family and loved her husband. Boddy wouldn''t look serious all day. They should enjoy their life happily. The more happy the little thing is, the more it reminds me how happy their children are Unfortunately! For so many years, the only thing that makes me happy is to hear the news of Taylor''s death! "


    "That''s enough!" said Ted Barrett in a low voice, suppressing his anger.


    "You want everyone to know all this. Vivia is also my daughter. Those rumors are the Duke''s conspiracy, and I said it would cost him. Boddy is also my proud son. There''s nothing wrong with him, but he wants to protect his sister and shut up those who spread rumors. What''s wrong with that!"


    "He''s the executioner!" Mrs. Annette sobbed with her face covered. "Boddy is only fifteen years old. People privately call him a devil... He''s a gentle child... I know, he''s a gentle and good child..."


    After a struggle, Ted Barrett hugged his sobbing wife, looked at the distant town and said slowly: "I know I''ve done something wrong. I''m not a good husband or a good father, but Annette, trust me again. Telosi is dead. I''ve sent a knight to inform the vassal. It won''t be long before Emily will leave here and she won''t appear in front of you again. I''ll make yvia''s child happy, I promise! And you, it won''t be a few years, a year Cutting will end... "


    Marquis Barrett comforted his weeping wife in a gentle tone.


    After a while, Mrs. Annette looked up at him with tears on her face and a lot of emotional stability.


    "Inform the vassal, is this another war? Isn''t that milt campes approved by the Duke? The Duke can''t agree with you to send troops..."


    "If he doesn''t stop, he will support. It''s a family fight, and that''s how he replied to me." Ted Barrett spread his wife''s shoulder and looked at the plank road and several wooden boats on the lake bank below.


    "This is also the Duke''s conspiracy. The campers family is now connected with Lingfeng castle. Milt is the Duke''s man, and the Duke wants us to fight with each other and weaken our strength."


    "Isn''t it dangerous for you to send troops now!" Mrs. Annette was worried.


    Regardless of their feelings, Knoxville and Barrett have been closely linked. Both prosperity and loss.


    "Don''t worry."


    Ted smiled at his wife and gave her a comforting look.


    "Although the two boys put on a pair of trousers, they are still too young. They are too anxious. Although Lingfeng castle has won two wars, Arthur tustra must have been frightened and eager to get an ally. He even started his suit of going up the river in Cumbria."


    "That can''t be what the Duke means. If those two boys are smart enough, they should be more calm, and the Duke may be able to buy them some preparation time."


    "But now, they have pushed themselves to the brink of war. The Duke is not only pacifying the vassal, but also busy marrying the west, and has no time to pay attention to the war here."


    "Duke..." Mrs. Annette looked disgusted, "but we still fell into his conspiracy, and after the marriage, with the support of the west, the strength of the kewilt family will be stronger. Ted, I''m a little uneasy..."


    "Marriage, ah!" Ted Barrett chuckled, looked back from a distance and looked at his wife again.


    "Annette, I have to send troops. Whether it''s Taylor''s death or the actions of milt''s boy, it''s about family honor! When milt campers is killed, I''ll send Emily back to inherit campers immediately. It''s also for you."


    He raised his hand and gently trimmed his wife''s hair disturbed by the wind: "don''t worry, they have just experienced a war. It won''t take much effort to win them."


    "But don''t we still have captives in Lingfeng castle?" Mrs. Annette reminded, "you suddenly sent troops. That Arthur boy will directly kill them? So many excellent Knights... By the way, I heard that Warcraft went to Shuangshui town to wreak havoc and hurt people, which is also worrying."


    "There will be no problem. I''ve written to uncle fellers." looking at his wife, Ted Barrett said definitely, "if the boy is smart enough, he won''t hurt our people. This is his bargaining chip for future negotiations and life protection. As for those Warcraft, although it''s really troublesome, there''s no way, which is the responsibility of Lingfeng castle."


    After hearing the speech, Mrs. Annette thought for a while and didn''t say anything more. War is indeed imperative, and she also hopes to send Emily away as soon as possible, the farther the better!


    Pacifying his wife, Ted Barrett stood up again, quietly looking at the lake ahead and thinking.


    In some words, he did not truthfully tell her that the most important reason why he was in a hurry to send troops was that he received the news that the guys in Whitestone castle had allowed a large number of slaves from averier county to go north and enter the upper river collar.


    Damn it!
