The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 128's

As he closed the door of the study, Merritt heard Alice's words. He could not help but turn to Alice with a smile. "Miss Alice, we will discuss the affairs of the Debs clan. We can't talk about it openly and openly, can we? If Your Majesty finds out, then I will be in serious trouble. You should know that I am taking a serious risk on behalf of your Debs clan. We better leave the door closed. ”

Alice stunned.

In terms of wordplay, how could Alice fit in with this Lord Merritt, who had been involved in the machinations of a high-level court for so long?

Smiling, Merritt walked past him. In front of the bookshelf, there were two chairs around the round table. Merritt often chatted with some of his friends here.

Merritt sat down first, then looked at Alice. “Alice, you have to sit down. ”

"Thank you, Lord Merritt. “Alice quietly sighed in relief, then sat down on the opposite chair. The thing that made Alice the most nervous in this study was the bed.

"Please wait a minute . ”

With a smile, Merritt got up to his feet, then took out a bottle of red wine and two cups of wine. He poured wine for himself and Alice respectively.

“Alice, this is Bluerain red wine from Yulan Empire, sixty years old vintage. It doesn't taste good. Has taste. "Merritt smiled as he raised his glass towards her.

Alice was a bit afraid just in case some kind of dope had been mixed into the wine. But, under Merritt's gaze, Alice was forced to raise her own glass as well. Merely, he nearly touched the wine with his lips.

Merritt didn't force him. Changing topics, she said, “Alice, you and Kalan are engaged. I hope you know a little about the affairs of the Debs clan. Did you know they were involved in smuggling? "

"No, I don't. I don't think Kalan will be involved in smuggling. "Alice hurriedly said. "Lord Merritt, the Debs clan is quite powerful. I don't think they're going to get involved in this smuggling business. ”

With a smile that was not a smile, Merritt looked at Alice. "It's hard to say . ”

"Aah!"

Merritt seemed to have seen something, and suddenly, he moved next to Alice, so close that her face was only a few centimeters away from Alice's face.

Surprised, Alice hurriedly retreated.

"Don't move. "Merritt's shout carried a bit of an order.

Born to years of habituation to power, Merritt's commanding voice freezes Alice in her tracks, as uncomfortable as she is. Merritt carefully examined Alice's hair, then looked at Alice.

After lowering her head, her face was now only a few centimeters away from Alice's face. This made Alice hurriedly lower her head away from him.

Seeing this, Merritt laughed, then returned to where he came from. He breathed helplessly. “At that time, I saw a strand of white hair on your head, but after you moved, I couldn't see it anymore. ”

A strand of white hair?

In her heart, Alice began to feel annoyed. He lives with Rowling now, and every morning, when they get bored, they'll comb each other's hair. Often, he found some white hair on Rowling's head. But Rowling often expressed envy towards Alice, as she never found white hair on Alice's head.

Rowling was unable to find white hair despite combing Alice's hair daily. How did Merritt find him?

But Alice did not dare to say this.

“Alice, you are young. Don't be so upset. If you are upset, you will age faster, and therefore have white hair. "Merritt said carefully.

Alice silently listened to him as she spoke.

Merritt pushed his chair towards Alice, then set his gaze on Alice. "Alice, you're pretty, you know. Your charm and aura of refinement is truly quite alluring to look at. ”

Alice could not help but feel embarrassed and nervous.

Merritt leaned slightly forward, staring intently at Alice. "Alice. My wives, all they care about are superficial things like money and glory. They looked very vulgar, very low. But you are completely different. Really, you know. The first time I saw you, I was stunned. ”

“I'm so sorry to finally marry a woman like them. "Merritt suddenly grabbed and held Alice's hand. Alice's eyes suddenly widened. Merritt kept looking at Alice. "Alice, if I were .. if I told you that I love you from the bottom of my heart, that I'm in love with you, would you believe me?"

Alice hurriedly stood up .. but Merritt maintained her tight grip on her hand.

"Lord Merrit, Lord Merritt. I'm Kalan's fiancee! ”Alice thrashed, and only after three attempts could she break free from Merritt's clutches.

Merritt looked at Alice with a smile. "As you said, you're just a fiancee, which means you're not married. You can really marry someone else. As for Kalan, what does a brat like him know about having fun? ”

As she spoke, Merritt once again moved closer to Alice, while Alice continued to move backwards.

But in her nervousness, Alice did not realize in the slightest that Merritt was pressing her towards the bed.

"Alice. I'm really in love with you. I swear! ”Merritt stared at Alice feelingly.

Merritt is not lying. During her time admiring the 'Awakening From the Dream' statue, and then after seeing Alice herself, she completely fell in love with Alice. But this kind of 'falling in love' is just a desire to have.

"Lord Merritt!" Alice panicked.

Suddenly, Alice's hind legs collided with the bed. Dropping the balance, Alice fell backwards onto the mattress.

A smiley look appeared on Merritt's face. He immediately threw himself on top of Alice, all but pressing his body on hers. “Alice, my goddess, please fulfill the mortal wish that has been enchanted by you. If you satisfy my desires, I will satisfy you as well and remove the unfair stains from the Debs clan. ”

Clear the Debs clan stain?

Staring at Merritt who was right on top of her, Alice could not help but suddenly recall the night she was with Linley in a small hotel. The two of them had engaged themselves fully, but in the end, he had stopped Linley.

How could he give up his chastity to this man in front of him?

"My goddess, come to me. "Merritt's voice was very gentle, as if he was trying to hypnotize her.

"No . No!"

Alice suddenly pulled a dagger from her waist and thrust it into Merritt. At the same time, the rocks on the floor flew into Merritt.

Alice is an earth-style magus!

But Merritt himself was a strong fighter. Her reflexes were extremely fast, and she quickly dodged to one side while at the same time slapping the dagger from Alice's hand.

Alice immediately dodged to the other side, running towards the door.

But with a flicker of his body, Merritt appeared between the woman and the door. With a smile that was not a smile on her face, she looked at Alice. "Alice. Do you still want to refuse? Based on your prowess as a magus and that little knife, you want to reject me? ”

"Lord Merritt, let me go. “Now, Alice is firm in her resolve.

"You no longer want to save the Debs clan? You don't want to save your fiancee, Kalan? "Ask Merritt.

Alice's eyes are determined. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Although I want to save her, this is not the way to do it. You animal! "

"Institute?" Merritt's expression changed. He coldly said, "Initially, I wanted the atmosphere to be a little more romantic, but since you refuse to cooperate, then I will show you what a beast looks like. ”

Alice's face paled.

"Merritts. Don't go too far. Terrified, Alice quickly retreated, grabbed the seat next to her and smashed it at Merritt.

With one fist, Merritt easily broke the chair.

"Don't fight. This place .. is my home. "Merritt said with a soft laugh.

Seeing Merritt approaching one step closer to her, Alice gritted her teeth and said wildly, "Merritt! You better not forget that I was once Linley's woman! "

These words stopped Merritt's steps, amazed him.

Alice really did not want to say these words. He knew that his actions in the past had injured Linley very deeply, and he did not want anything to do with him. But at this point in time, he could think of no other way.

Biting her lips, Alice looked at Merritt. "Merritt, I can pretend nothing happened today. But if you go too far, then don't blame me when I'm also dying afterwards. I believe you know how influential Linley is now. ”

Merritt looked at Alice.

She had truly been fascinated by Alice, but Merritt knew very well that Linley's relationship with Alice was very special. Just from looking at the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', one could tell how deep Linley's affection for Alice had been.

"Linley's feelings towards Alice were truly in the realm of true love. If Linley finds out .. "Head Merritt begins to hurt.

Linleys

It's so hard to handle!

The current Linley already had an incredible influence. Although he, Merritt, was very strong, in the end he was only the Premier Exact of one kingdom. For the Radiant Church, perhaps overthrowing one of the rulers of a kingdom was something he would do only after serious consideration, but they would not even think twice before dealing with the Right Premier of a kingdom.

All Linley had to do was ask the Radiant Church for help. Dealing with him, Premier Right, will not be a problem.

But in the future, Linley would only be more formidable. This was one of the reasons why not a single member of the Fenlai Kingdom nobles dared to plot against Linley or make efforts against Linley's life, which was why, in front of Linley, they were all behaving decently.

"Ouch .." Merritt let out a long sigh. “Alice, I really, really, have fallen for you from the bottom of my heart, so much so that I lost my sense of rationality. ”

Merritt smiled apologizing to Alice. "I'm sorry . I'm back to consciousness now. Since you don't want or have no feelings for me, of course I can't push myself. ”

"Lord Merritt, then I'll go. "Alice quickly rushed to the door, opened it, then rushed out.

Seeing Alice leave, an apologetic look descended from Merritt's face, and his gaze became fierce and cold. With a cold sneer, he spat out the word, "******!"

By the time Alice had returned to the house of the Debs clan, it was now completely dark.

Right now, all the members of the Debs clan were in the middle of the main hall, having dinner. It's just, the atmosphere isn't very good. After all, the clan could be annihilated at any time.

"Alice. You back? ”Rowling suddenly saw Alice running in.

Nimitz and the others stood up as well.

"So fast?" Nimitz frowned. Alice had returned too early, much earlier than she had expected.

“Alice, dinner with us. "Rowling called him immediately.

On the path through the main hall, Alice glanced at the people inside and said apologetically, "I feel bad. I'll go back to my room and rest first. "Alice's voice was very low and hoarse.

Rowling felt that Alice was not acting normally.

"Let me see how Alice is performing. "Rowling smiled at everyone, then left the hall, leaving Nimitz, who frowned in suspicion.

Alice and Rowling, in their room.

Upon entering the room, Alice immediately threw herself onto her bed. He could no longer hold back his tears, which were rushing over. His heart was filled with error and injustice.

"What mistake have I made? God, why should you punish me as well? "

Alice howled with anger in her heart.

“I never ask for much, it's just that I can have a simple and peaceful life. I want my parents to have a peaceful life, for me to have a peaceful life. Why, why should you punish me like that? ”Alice's heart is filled with misery. Right, the Debs clan might be finished.

But what does that have to do with him?

Why would they have to send him to deal with Merritt?

Why should she be forced to the point where she had to shout out the words, "I was once a Linley woman?" How difficult it was for him to force these words! Alice really didn't want to say that!

"Sister Alice, what's going on?" Rowling ran into the room. Seeing Alice sobbing to the point where there was a large wet spot on the bed, Rowling became panicked with worry.

Rowling immediately approached and began to caress Alice's back. "Don't cry, don't cry. Whatever it is, you can tell me. Tell me . ”

Alice immediately turned around and threw herself into Rowling's arms, even crying loudly. It wasn't as bad as without anyone there to comfort her, but now that someone had come along, Alice felt even more sad and guilty.

Rowling comforted Alice for over half an hour before Alice finally became calmer.

"Sister Alice, what really happened? Tell me . "Rowling looked at Alice.

Alice took a deep breath, then slowly explained the injustice that had happened to her. "Little Rowling, you are also aware of the current situation with the Debs clan. Yesterday, Second Grandfather came and wanted to have a private chat with me. He wants me … "

The more he heard, Rowling got angrier.

He was angry at Nimitz's behavior. He was angry at what Alice was suffering. And he felt angry at Merritt's beast-like behavior. At the same time, he felt sympathy for Alice.

“I don't want to get involved, get involved again. I just want to live a peaceful life. "Said Alice, sobbing sporadically.

Over the past few days, Rowling has been considering what is the best way to help the Debs clan. But after hearing Alice's story, she suddenly understood a few things.

“Female sister Alice, don't be sad. Whatever happens, you definitely can't let Merritt destroy your chastity. "Rowling.

Alice nodded.

“But we still have to find a way to save Kalan and the others. "Say Rowling. “Kakak Kalan is our fiancee. ”

Alice also wanted to save him, but she didn't know how.

“We still have options. "Rowling looked at Alice. "But .. I don't know if you're willing to take it, sister Alice. ”

"Rowling ..." Looking at Rowling, Alice had already guessed what she was going to say.

Rowling nodded. "really. Go ask Linley for help. Today, as soon as you mentioned his name, Merritt no longer dared to touch you. Clearly, Linley was very influential. Based on what I know, not only does Linley have a relationship with the Radiant Church, he also has a relationship with the Dawson Conglomerate. Even His Majesty, King Clayde, treated Linley like he would be a friend, not an ordinary subject. If Linley is willing to talk, we will have a much greater chance of saving big brother Kalan. ”

Right now, in Fenlai Kingdom, without question, people were more willing to submit to Linley than anyone else.

Even the Premier Left and the Premier Right cannot compare.

Because, as one could easily say, in the future Linley would become a high-level person within the Radiant Church. Even now, he was seen as a very important potential talent that needed to be cultivated and trained. For Linley's sake, the two Cardinals of the Radiant Church had even gone to Hogg's funeral and saluted him. From this, one could easily see how important they viewed Linley as.

"Sister Linley?" Alice's emotions are very different.

Actually, in Alice's heart, she knew this was a possibility long ago, but she didn't want to face it. He really did not want to go beg Linley. He felt that he did not have the face to see her anymore.

He knew that he had injured Linley too heavily. Just then when she saw the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', Alice understood how much Linley loved her. Or at least how deeply she loved him.

She was ashamed to meet him!

"Sister Alice, I understand how you feel. "Rowling clutched tightly onto Alice's hand. “But, Alice's older sister, Kalan's older brother and her father are very likely to lose their lives. Please suffer a little on our behalf. At least Linley would not act like Merritt did. ”

Alice's heart was filled with pain.

"No face? Is my self-esteem more important, or are the lives of Kalan's older brother and his father more important? "Alice asked herself this question. He has no other choice.

"Sister Alice. "Rowling looked at Alice pleading.

Alice let out a long sigh, forcing herself to calm down. Looking at Rowling, he nodded. "Good . I'll go see Linley's brother tomorrow. ”
