In the evening, Hua Rong, wearing a veil, stepped down from the carriage.
Her maidservant accompanied her into the forest.
The mercenaries glanced at it and then smiled knowingly.
"Even a count's daughter needs to pee!"
"you do not say!"
"I wonder what this countess looks like."
Barber glanced smugly at the people around him, and then followed them when no one was looking.
Cooper, who had just peed, saw Barber's cautious look, pulled up his pants, fastened his belt, and followed him.
"Could it be that Barber is thinking of..."
Barber wanted to say a few words to Lori, and preferably find some time to do something.
Ever since last night, he felt hot all over whenever he thought of Lori, and he couldn't stand it.
"Lori!"
“Miss, it’s Jeffrey,” the maid Tiffany whispered, her tone revealing obvious affection.
Hua Rong glanced at her, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
Tiffany was a maid from the Earl's mansion; it was unclear whose person she worked for.
If she hadn't constantly praised Barber in the original owner's ear, the original owner probably wouldn't have been so easily fooled.
Don't think Tiffany didn't see the way she kept peeking at Barber from behind the curtain today.
“Tiffany, you keep an eye on us.” Hua Rong’s face flushed, as if she were shy.
Tiffany looked jealous and reluctantly kept watch for Hua Rong and the others.
Sure enough, not long after she left, Barber appeared beside Hua Rong.
He reached out his hand, wanting to hug Hua Rong.
Hua Rong took a step back: "Jeffrey, calm down. What if someone sees us?"
Barber whispered gently, "Don't be afraid, my Lori, no one will notice us here. Don't you miss me? I've missed you so much today, I've had sex so many times."
Hua Rong slapped him across the face. Even though she had possessed his body this time, she still had all her abilities.
"Lori! What's wrong?"
Barber, who had just been slapped, stared at her in disbelief.
Lori had been incredibly gentle with him before.
Because she grew up in a small town, Lori felt very inferior in his presence.
She had no idea how noble her status as the Earl of Baker's only daughter was.
Although Count Baker was only an earl, he controlled the army and wielded real power.
If he hadn't offended the Queen's third prince, no one would have dared to treat him like this.
The Queen comes from the Duke of Clark, whose army is the second largest in the Kingdom of Kate.
"Jeffrey, admit it, you don't like me. You just want to use me to achieve your goals. I don't know exactly what your goals are, maybe you have a grudge against my father. Anyway, whatever your goals are, don't even think about messing with me!"
Barber's expression changed. He looked at Hua Rong and stopped trying to argue.
He took a deep breath and said, "My family and I were living a good life in the capital. Your father, Earl Baker, took a fancy to my mother, and... in the end, my mother committed suicide, and my father died of anger. Tell me, should I take revenge?"
By the end, Barber's expression had become quite frantic.
Hua Rong stroked his chin: "That's true, but you shouldn't take advantage of me. You know I'm a victim too."
Barber looked somewhat uncomfortable and turned his head away.
"I did initially want to use you, but... I'm sorry."
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow. Little did Barber know that his apology had saved his life.
She took a dagger from her sleeve and handed it to Barber.
He pointed to Tiffany, who was keeping watch not far away: "Jeffrey, kill her. I suspect she's one of Countess Baker's people."
Barber's expression froze; he had never killed anyone.
Hua Rong said, "If you don't make a move, then I'll have no choice but to make a move against you."
Barber wanted to say, "How dare you, an ordinary woman with no special attributes, lay a hand on me?"
However, he abandoned the idea because he felt that Lori had changed.
Barber gritted his teeth, ran quickly to Tiffany's side, and sang a song from behind.
Before Tiffany died, she was still thinking about how to kill Lori while protecting Jeffrey.
The tactic she and the Countess would use was to have Lori have an affair, which would be fatal for an unmarried countess.
Not to mention, this young lady might even inherit the title of Earl—in the Kingdom of Kate, if a woman has no sons or possesses powerful attributes, she can also inherit a title.
Everyone has two opportunities to experience a stimulating attribute in their lifetime.
As long as there is an energy ball, if a person places their hand on the energy ball, and if they have any inherent attributes, then those attributes can be activated.
The attributes are divided into the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as special attributes such as light.
Having attributes allows you to learn magic.
This continent of Or is a world belonging to magicians!
As for magicians, only one in a thousand can become a magician.
Of a thousand magicians, only one can become a master magician.
Of the thousand senior magic students, only one can become a grandmaster magician.
Following them are Grandmasters of Magic, Archmages, Great Archmages, Saint Archmages, and finally... God.
In short, the further you go, the harder it becomes to cultivate. Currently, there is only one known Holy Archmage on the continent—Pope Jais of the Temple of Light!
Each person can only touch the energy ball twice in their lifetime.
Once was on the day I turned eight, and the other time was on the day I turned eighteen.
Unfortunately, Miss Lori's attributes were not determined when she was eight years old.
She was an ordinary person!
"Captain Cooper, now that you've seen it, please come out."
