Have a private chat with Alice? Was the Debs clan involved in water jade smuggling, what use was a private chat with Alice to make that determination? Obviously, this Merritt has another design. Nimitz was a person with significant worldly experience. Naturally, he knew exactly what was going on.
Nimitz's eyes narrowed as he looked at Merritt.
But Merritt just casually leaned back in his chair, even closing his eyes as he relaxed. He didn't even see Nimitz. The attitude of Merritt speaks for itself: If you want your family's 'complaints' washed clean, then have Alice come to talk to me about it.
Nimitz was silent for a moment, then laughed. "So Lord Merritt was a fan of Master Linley's 'Rise From Dreams. It is understandable if you want to chat with Alice. Okay, I'll go back and talk to him. ”
Upon hearing these words, Merritt opened his eyes, smiling at Nimitz. “Haha, then Nimitz, you can come back now. If Alice is willing to chat with me, I think I will have a better understanding of your Debs clan. ”
Nimitz immediately stood up, bowing humbly. "Then, Lord Merritt, I'm leaving. I entrust the affairs of our Debs clan with you. ”
Merritt nodded slightly.
Nimitz is leaving.
Leaving Duke Merritt alone in that living room.
Toying with her wine cup, Merritt muttered in a low voice, "my goddess .. Alice .." There was an expression of satisfaction and anticipation on her face.
As the Right Premier of the Kingdom of Fenlai, and as Duke, Merritt had a very high status. The number of people with higher status than him in Fenlai Kingdom could be counted with one hand.
Someone like him had experienced almost every kind of woman he wanted.
Merritt was truly a lecher, despite being in his seventies. Warriors of his level could live to over three hundred. Currently, he was only in his seventies and at the peak of his life. Merritt openly had twelve wives to his name, but there was a similar point of view among the nobles; his own wife in the house was not as attractive as having a lover outside, nor was it, but having a lover outside is not as exciting as you can't get. The ones you can't get are the best of all.
But given Merritt's status, there were very few women he could not get. At the same time, there were very few women who could actually move it.
But Alice is definitely one.
Since the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream' has become famous, in the hearts of many, the woman of the statue has become a tall and untouchable goddess. For someone as statured as Merritt, of course he was eager to get a goddess like Alice under his thighs. But this is too hard.
But now . The opportunity has come.
"Alice. The goddess? ”Merritt was unable to hold back his smile. Raising his head, he finished all the red wine from his glass.
Sitting inside his carriage on his way home, Nimitz frowned deeply.
Alice is Kalan's fiancee!
If she asked Alice to meet personally with Merritt, then she would definitely push Alice into disaster. In the future, when faced with Kalan's question, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if this news were to spread, the impact on the Debs clan's standing would be tremendous.
"Ughs. If the clan is finished, then what does its reputation mean? "Nimitz shook his head, sighing.
Currently, the Debs clan had reached a tipping point. If the Debs clan is found guilty of smuggling, then the entire clan will be exterminated, and all his possessions will be taken away by King Fenlai. Although the Debs clan had left some roots outside the kingdom, preventing it from being completely erased, almost all of its possessions were in the Fenlai Kingdom.
If everything was lost, who knew how many years before the Debs clan returned to its former glory?
Compared to the future of the clan, a hint of ridicule and humiliation was no big deal. After all, since when did the noble circle lack such an embarrassing story?
"But this must be Alice's own free will. "Nimitz was a little worried. “After all, I can't forcefully send him to the house of the Premier True nobleman. ”
Nimitz did not care about Alice's purity at all. After all, she was only a woman!
But Nimitz knows …
"This Alice has a special relationship with Linley. If I force it, and then Linley knows .. "Just thinking about it scares Nimitz. Linley had a very special status within the Fenlai Kingdom.
Although he had the rank of Marquis, in reality, Linley belonged to the Radiant Church. In the past, when Clayde invited Linley to join the ranks of the nobles in the Kingdom of Fenlai, he even said that between the two of them, there was no need to observe normal protocol between the king and the subject.
Clearly, Clayde wanted to draw Linley closer to him.
And all the nobles of the Fenlai Kingdom knew that if Linley wanted to, he might be able to easily become the Vicar of the Radiant Church. In a few dozen years, it would be very natural for Linley to become a Cardinal.
The status of a Cardinal is even higher than that of the King!
"Can't force it. ”Nimitz felt a headache. She was worried that Alice would refuse. He thought about things from Linley's point of view.
Alice, after all, was Linley's first love before! If she, Nimitz, forced Alice to meet Merritt, and she lost her chastity, how could Linley not explode with anger?
The castle of the Debs clan.
The clan hall was filled with many members of the Debs clan. Alice and Rowling were there. They're all waiting for Nimitz's return.
They were all worried about the future of the Debs clan!
“Second Uncle is back! Second uncle is back! ”A middle-aged man standing in the doorway looked at Nimitz and started shouting.
Instantly, all the members of the Debs clan rushed towards Nimitz en masse. Alice and Rowling exchanged glances, then got up and went to greet him as well.
"Second Uncle, what's the situation?"
Nimitz looked at the group of people in front of him. Smiling, he said, “The situation is not too bad. Everyone, go back to your residence. Alice, stay here. I want to talk to you . ”
Within the clan, Nimitz had a lot of authority. Hearing his words, everyone left.
Alice was a bit confused, confused about what Nimitz wanted to talk to her about.
"Sister Alice, I'm going back to my room now. "Rowling waved at Alice and said in a soft voice. Moments later, the one who left in the hall was Alice.
Nimitz stepped into the hall.
"Second Granduncle, what's up?" Alice stammered.
Nimitz looked at Alice. Suddenly, he smiled warmly at her. “Alice, don't be nervous. Sit first. Let's have a good talk. "When he spoke, Nimitz sat down as well.
Alice could only feel suspicious.
"Come, sit. "Nimitz's smile was very kind, very warm.
Alice nervously sat down.
Nimitz let out a long breath. Worry appeared between his eyebrows. "Alice, we didn't expect this to happen so soon after you and Kalan got engaged. I don't know who's secretly framing our Debs clan. If I do, I will kill him. "A terrifying aura appeared on Nimitz's face, but then turned into a helpless look. “But at the moment, the most important thing is to clear this stain from our name, and save Kalan and Bernard. ”
Alice nodded.
But in her heart, Alice was suspicious. "Why did Second Grandpa say these things to me?"
Staring at Alice, Nimitz said sincerely, “Alice, there is something I should ask you. ”
"please?" Alice was very surprised, she got up.
Like the establishment of Nimitz within the clan that even the clan leader would respect. But now, Nimitz said that he had to beg her to do something. How could Alice not be surprised?
"Alice, Lord Merritt is in charge of investigating this allegation that the Debs clan is involved in the smuggling of water jade. Lord Merritt is very interested in you and would like to meet you personally. ”
Nimitz said urgently to him, “Alice, this is a rare and incredible opportunity to improve our relationship with him. Only by managing to have a good relationship with Lord Merritt can you help our clan. Alice, you grew up with Kalan. You don't want to see him in jail either, do you? ”
Alice stunned.
Personal meeting?
Alice was someone who had once lived in a noble clan as well, and knew very well about the embarrassing things that happened among the nobility. He could immediately guess that this meeting with Lord Merritt was more than just a simple meeting.
"I ... I ..." Alice stammered.
Nimitz pleads, “Alice, our entire Debs clan is counting on you. I can even guarantee that as long as you can withdraw Lord Merritt to our side, you will be Kalan's main wife. ”
Alice felt as if her mind was in a mess.
Alice was still pure and holy from the body.
He had refused to cross the final barrier with both Linley and Kalan. Even after getting engaged to Kalan, Alice still insisted on getting married before she would enter the bridal bed with him.
But now he had to deal with Lord Merritt …
“Alice, I beg of you. Nimitz gritted his teeth, left his chair and knelt before him. "Alice, Kalan's life is in your hands. ”
"Life Kalan?" Alice shaking.
Kalan grew up next to him. In the past few days, in the presence of ridicule and ridicule from the other members of the Debs clan, Kalan was protecting her.
"Good . I agree . "Alice gritted her teeth.
An expression of startling excitement appeared on Nimitz's face, then he hurriedly said, “Excellent. How about this . Tomorrow dusk, I will arrange for you to be taken to Lord Merritt's house. ”
But now, Alice's face was extremely pale. He didn't respond at all.
Next night. Escorted by twelve knights, a carriage departed from the Debs clan house, slowly rolling towards the palace of Lord Merritt. Inside the car there was only one person. Alice.
Alice quietly sat inside the carriage, chewing on her lips. Her nervous hand tightly held onto her dress.
The train keeps rolling forward. Soon, it arrived at the main gate to Lord Merritt's house.
"Miss Alice, we're here. "The sound of the driver of the train was heard from outside.
Hearing her words, Alice's heart trembled. His right hand floated to his waist. The firmness of the steel dagger on his side helped to calm his mind a little.
Taking a deep breath, Alice pushed the carriage open to the door and stepped out.
In the welcoming hall belonging to the noble Lord Merritt.
Wearing a jacket at the top and a skirt underneath, Alice dressed relatively conservatively. Step by step, Alice managed to enter the hall with relative calm. Alice looked around her, but saw no one inside the hall.
"Hmm?" Alice could not help but frown.
Right at this moment, a female officer ran over. Respectfully, he said, “Miss Alice, Mr. Duke is in his study room and would like to invite you there as well. ”
"Study room?" Alice shuddered a little.
But under the attendant's urgent gaze, Alice still started walking forward with him.
The study was in a very quiet and remote area. There are very few people here. Arriving at the door of the study, Alice saw a middle-aged, golden-haired man standing before the study table, staring at some papers.
"It's Merritt?" Looking at Merritt, Alice's first impression was that she was a very fierce person. Even when he was sitting at his desk, his back was upright, and his eyes were sharp.
"Lord Duke, Miss Alice has arrived. "The female officer said respectfully.
Only now did Merritt raise his head. Seeing Alice, he excitedly got up. “Haha, Miss Alice, are you coming? I've waited long enough. Come, Miss Alice, please sit down. "When he spoke, he left his seat and walked towards Alice.
Alice stepped into the study.
Alice looked around. Towards the right side of the research, there were many bookshelves, covered with many books. On the left side of the study, there was a bed.
“Often, when I read or take care of government affairs, I will be tired and will rest there. "Said Duke Merritt with a smile. At the same time, he walked towards the door of the study room and closed it.
Seeing the door of the study room closed, leaving only her and Merritt in the room, Alice became nervous.
"Lord Merritt, it's better if we leave the door of the study room open. I am not used to the dark environment. "Alice hurriedly said.
