Chapter 322 Revenge Plan
"Bonita, you're crushing Gervis! Get up quickly, Gervis seems to be unable to breathe!"
Just when Gervis was about to shout, a pleasant voice came to his ears. The voice was soft and urgent. It was Gervis' childhood sweetheart Vivian.
"Why is Vivian here too?"
Gervis felt like he had missed a lot during the time he was unconscious.
"I have been unconscious for a long time. I have no strength in my body. Could it be that my muscles have atrophied because I have been unconscious for too long?"
Gervis scared himself by replenishing his brain, and his eyes also adapted to the strong light outside the window, so Gervis slowly opened his eyes.
"Bonita, Vivian, why are you here? How long have I been unconscious?"
Gervis was lying in his bedroom at the moment, and Vivian and Bonita were looking at him in surprise.
"Brother, you've been unconscious for two days! The main reason I came here this time is because Vivian heard that you were in danger, so she immediately asked me to accompany her! She is now also a titled knight!"
Bonita was the first to speak, and regardless of Vivian's attempts to stop her, she directly stated the main reason for her visit.
"Oh? Thank you, Vivian!"
Hearing Bonita's words, Gervis was somewhat moved. When Vivian heard that he was in danger, she actually came here from Gandalf's territory. It would take her two or three days to ride non-stop. For these noble ladies, it was really a feat.
"How did you know I was in danger? By the way, do father and Lord Nathan know that you are here?"
Looking at the shy Vivian, Gervis smiled at her gently, turned on his perception and took a look, and found that the seemingly weak Vivian had successfully advanced to become a titled knight. This speed was considered genius.
"My father is here too, but he's visiting your territory now. Lord Nathan also followed us after he knew Vivian and I were coming to your place. I heard from my father that you were in danger!"
Bonita spilled the beans. With her by her side, Vivian basically only had to focus on being pretty.
"You two are just fooling around. It's such a long journey, what if something dangerous happens? Don't do this again!"
Gervis figured out that the two men had run away secretly without even notifying Nathan. It was only after Nathan discovered them that he chased after them.
"By the way, how did father know that I was in danger? The pirates' attack seemed to be a carefully planned one, right?"
Gervis calculated the time and found that he had only been unconscious for two days, which meant that Gandalf and the others had received the news before the battle.
"It was the Earl who sent someone to inform father. Father came here with the Earl, and it was the Earl who rescued you!"
"Alice? Alice came in person? Where is she?"
Gervis was getting more and more surprised. It was not surprising that his father or the Knights of the Rose came to rescue him, but it was very unexpected that Alice, the powerful and cold goddess, also came in person.
"The Earl is..."
Having said that, Bonita couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the other side of Gervis' bed.
"I'm here!"
"Cough! Cough!"
Gervis almost choked when he heard the pleasant voice coming from the direction of the window. His cheap wife was actually in the room.
"Alice! You're here too! Haha! Thank you!"
Gervis turned his head with an unnatural expression, and as expected, he saw the extremely pretty Alice. He thanked Alice helplessly.
It's a bit awkward now. Bonita doesn't know the stakes. His cheap wife is here, so he should tell himself later about Vivian.
"Bonita, Vivian, go down first and ask the servants to bring me some food!"
"oh!"
Bonita and Vivian knew that Gervis was asking people to leave. Bonita said "oh" with some dissatisfaction, but because the Earl was there, Bonita didn't dare to say anything more!
"Alice, how did you know there was a pirate attack here? Did you receive any news?"
Everything discussed with Alice was basically confidential, so Gervis asked Bonita and the other person to leave.
Alice was sitting on a soft sofa by the window at this moment, facing Gervis. Under the sunlight outside, Gervis felt like he had seen a saint.
"A few days ago, Rose Castle received a report from a spy planted in the Larkin family, saying that the pirates who attacked Jones's territory were sent by Earl Avery of the Larkin family, and the real target was you. I brought people here, but I was still a step too late!"
Alice said in a cold voice.
Although she had rushed here with the Rose Knights as soon as she received the news and had worked non-stop on the way, she had not expected that she was still a step too late. However, Gervis was only slightly injured now, which made her feel relieved.
"Sent by the Larkin family? To avenge Kevin?"
Gervis gritted his teeth. Because of the number and strength of the pirates, he had guessed that there must be other nobles behind the scenes, and now it had been proven true.
Moreover, Gervis originally thought that the pirates came for the grape vines and the recipe for making wine, but now it seems that what they want most is probably his life.
"Yes, because the king gave the order, the Larkin family couldn't openly invade Jones Territory to avenge Kevin, so he thought of using pirates to attack your territory!"
There was a hint of apology in Alice's words. Although it was Gervis who killed Kevin, in the end, all of this was caused by the Jones family and her, Alice!
"But don't worry, Gervis. I will submit a report to the king and ask him to let the Larkin family compensate you. After all, Wright was his vassal in the past. Even if he defected, he still has to bear some responsibility."
"At present, the Jones family is not able to use other means of revenge, but one day the Jones family will definitely help you get real justice!"
"Thank you, Alice! But can the report on this pirate be submitted to the king later? I'll see if there's a chance to teach the Larkin family a lesson!"
Now the Jones family is also on the brink of turmoil. Alice cannot use retaliatory means to avenge herself, and many eyes are definitely on the Jones family. Gervis is very clear and understands this.
What's more, Alice made a promise in the name of the Jones family, which means that Alice will really keep this matter in mind. If one day the Jones family becomes strong again, she will definitely fulfill her promise.
Of course, Alice and other noble heirs who have been familiar with the murder since childhood can keep their composure, but Gervis feels that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now that there is a clear murderer, Gervis already has an idea in his mind.
"It doesn't matter if it's a few days later, just let me know when the time comes!"
Alice looked at Gervis. She wanted to remind him that the Larkin family was not so easy to deal with, but when she thought of Gervis's various surprising behaviors, Alice gave up the idea of ​​reminding him.
"Okay! Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I know my own strength very well!"
Gervis' plan was actually very simple. Didn't the Larkin family send pirates to plunder Storm Territory and kill him?
Why don't I give them a taste of their own medicine by disguising myself as a pirate and plundering the Larkin family's territory? In the end, I can even put the blame on Wright. Even if the Larkin family eventually finds out that it was me who did it, they will have no choice but to swallow their anger.
Although it is very likely that there will be no monetary gain from this revenge, the plunder of the Larkin family's territory and the putting of the blame on Wright, and then having Alice report to the king and demanding that the Larkin family compensate for their losses, would definitely make the Larkin family sick to death.
As for offending the Larkin family, they have sent people to kill him, so Gervis has nothing to worry about!
