Jeffrey, the one who almost killed Mino at the Martial Arts Fair but was burned by Mino’s fireball.
There was no trace of injury on his face. Reminding his royal identity, it was obviously the effect of divine grace. Even Donner, who was pierced by the heart, could recover as before, and this small injury was nothing.
At this time, the second prince of the Thorn Empire was talking in a low voice with Countess Perlinan. When the countess was halfway through his speech, he would stop and poke with his fingers in secret. He should be introducing everyone present to the other party.
Look at the way they both talk, it doesn’t seem like they just met.
The Countess saw Donner looking at them and nodded with a smile. Donner quickly smiled and nodded, with a slightly awkward expression on his face, but his face was already gloomy, and it was probably just like this when he smiled. The Countess was not surprised.
Seeing this, Jeffrey nodded to Donner, but there was no smile on his face.
Donner soon thought about the reason why Jeffrey appeared on the boat.
Edward, the king of the Thorn Empire, was likely to have expected his own fate after the expeditionary army was wiped out, and then he sent Jeffrey away in advance.
The coup he planned should have been successful, otherwise Jeffrey would not have been in the room on the boat and would have been hiding for more than a month.
Since he had been hiding, how could he be so familiar with Countess Pellinan? The biggest possibility is that the countess’ identity is fake. She is either the original royal family of the Thorn Empire, or the protector arranged by Edward for Jeffrey.
Thinking of this, Donner stood up, walked to the two of them, and said politely, “Countess, I didn’t expect that the pirate is quite good. By the way, who is this gentleman?”
“Mr. Bruce, this is my nephew, Baron Leo. He locked himself in the room for a breakup, sighing all day long. If it weren’t for the Rose Knight coming to make a fuss today, he might not have been willing to come out. You said, it’s just a girl, so why is it worth him?” The Countess said very naturally. “Countess, I feel that it’s really bad to lose the person I cherish the most.” Donner said seriously, as if he had a very similar feeling to Jeffrey’s feelings. In fact, it was true, and he and Jeffrey lost their father almost at the same time.
However, he said this not to sympathize with Jeffrey, but to deliberately stimulate him. Not only that, he was thinking about how to kill the other party.
He once told Ke Lei that it is not just a joke to make the people who provoke the war feel uneasy. Moreover, the man in black was sent by Edward to assassinate him. If it weren’t for this, his father wouldn’t have died. This revenge is now counted as Jeffrey.
“Oh…” the countess sighed softlyHe said, “After all, you have to be willing to do it. If you lose it, you have to accept your fate. When you reach my age, you will know.”
The Countess said it sincerely. If it weren’t for recognizing Jeffrey, Donner would have thought that she was inspired by Gresham’s incident.
“You are right, you have your wishes.” Donner responded casually and asked again: “Countess, do you still have any acquaintances on this boat? You won’t travel with your nephew alone, right?”
When he said the last sentence, Donner deliberately made a dirty expression. In fact, there were indeed all kinds of incredible things among the nobles, and his nephew was not the most exaggerated one.
The Countess of course heard what was in the words, but was not angry. She just pushed Donner with shame and annoyedness and said, “Mr. Bruce, what are you talking about? Are you my acquaintance?”
Donner laughed, turned around and walked away, and before leaving, he glanced at Jeffrey. The second prince could no longer suppress his anger.
It has been confirmed that the Countess and Jeffrey are at least related. Although she has great means to deal with it, Jeffrey’s expression is enough to explain everything.
“I know why you are not interested in me.”
As soon as Donald walked out of the crowd and was about to return to the room, a familiar voice rang behind him again.
“So you fell in love with the older ones.” The half-elf girl’s voice sounded nice, but Donner felt upset when he heard it.
He ignored him and continued to move forward until he stopped when he was about to turn around the two gangways.
He had to stop because Ruiko shouted under the gangway: “I know many secrets of the Countess.”
“Don’t yell.” He turned around and lowered his voice.
Ruike stepped up, imitating Donner’s appearance, and whispered: “Don’t worry, she can’t hear it.”
“What’s the secret?”
