The next morning.

The crystal ceiling of the restaurant's ceiling reflects a dreamy and colorful light. Capeloline sat alone in the main hall, boredly flipping through the books in her hand. The black tea on the table had been changed three times, but she still hadn't drunk a sip, and the desserts on the exquisitely placed plate had not been moved at all. Today is the 23rd day. Capeloline would wait for someone here every morning, and during this period, she was the only customer in the entire restaurant.

Haven't come today?

Capeloline sighed quietly, put down the books in her hand, took a sip of black tea, and the cold bitterness filled her mouth. Capeloline couldn't help but frowned slightly, but at this moment she was not in the mood to blame the maid. When she got up and was about to leave, the restaurant doorbell behind her suddenly rang.

jingle……

Capeloline's body froze in her seat as if she was electrocuted. This restaurant is the property of the Capel family and is only open to the nobles on weekdays. It has been closed in the morning recently and does not accept outsiders. The guards are waiting outside the store. Unless the person coming is her, the door should not be pushed open.

"Sister Yue Yong?"

Luo Lin slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and her voice pretending to be calm seemed a little trembling.

"Lorreen?"

A gentle and familiar voice came from behind himself. Lorene bit her lips tightly, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, turned around and smiled sweetly at Yue Yong, and said in a coquettish way, "Sister Yue Yong, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. How do you think you should compensate me?"

"Something happened, can you forgive my sister?"

Yue Yong smiled gently, but somehow, she stood in front of the door without any intention of coming in. Her slightly pale face, her hand tightly holding the corner of her skirt, and her erratic eyes all revealed Yue Yong's anxiety at this moment.

"Sister Yue Yong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Luo Lin's face was full of doubts.

Yue Yong was extremely confused. She tried to tell Luo Lin loudly, let her run away, and run away quickly, but the word "六" could not leave her throat no matter what, and she could not say anything. Puppet's methods and Lan Dumu's plan made her unable to control herself like a puppet.

"Sister is fine, but here is a little boring, why don't we go out for a walk?" Yue Yong suggested.

"...Okay." Luo Lin still responded after pondering for a while.

After leaving the restaurant, at Yue Yong's request, Lorene did not let the guards follow. The two walked slowly along the street, one after another, towards the sea cliff path on the west side of Lome City. They were not very far away. After about twenty minutes, they were no longer noisy voices in their ears. The refreshing and wet sea breeze blew on their cheeks, and the trees on the left swayed gently. Under the sea cliff, the waves were beating layer by layer, slapped against the reefs day after day.

In the morning, the sea cliff path was empty, so it was not until six o'clock in the evening that some idle nobles would come here for a walk, so there are only two people in this pleasant place, Luo Lin and Yue Yong.

"Sister Yue Yong, tell me who the other party is?" Luo Lin stopped first. Maybe others couldn't see any problem with Yue Yong's abnormal behavior, but it was impossible to hide it from her.

Then why do you still have to follow?

Why not let the guards go together?

Lorraine has always been very smart, and she felt so clever that Yue Yong felt distressed. Faced with this question, she could only shake her head bitterly and repeat "I'm sorry" in her heart over and over again.

"It seems that she is not lying. Love makes people blinded. She dares to come alone even though she knows the danger. She is like this, and you are like this, which is touching. But this love drama ends here. Duke Cape, please come with me. Don't worry. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise that you will not be hurt at all. After the matter is done, you plan to stay in Nanyu Kingdom or elope, as long as you elope."

A man in black and wearing a mask turned over and jumped up from the steep sea cliff more than ten feet to the right side of the path. His voice was hoarse and unrecognizable. The cold sword in his hand had already shown his purpose.

"In broad daylight, you still dare to attack me even though you know my identity. Are you really not afraid of death? I will only give you one chance, let Sister Yue Yong go, and then get out immediately. I can think that I have never given birth to anything. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the world, Aunt Mir will ask you to be caught back, peel off your skin and bones, and throw it into the deep sea to feed the fish."

Lorraine said the most terrifying words with a calm expression, but no one would think she was joking. Capemir is such a terrible person. Her cruelty and coldness have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Nanyu Kingdom, no one can offend Capemir, and can only stay away from it. This is the consensus of almost all aristocratic classes.

"I will only say it once, come with me, otherwise your sister Yue Yong will die in front of you now. As for your aunt, you won't really think she cares about your life or death. Isn't the Duke of the Cape family the puppet in her hands? One dies, and the other is the same. In this situation, do you think she will go through a lot of trouble to investigate the murderer for you? Just find someone to take the blame, kill a few incompetent guards, and just be able to live up to the face. This is the reality."

The man in black said every word to heart. He was right. As long as Capemir was still alive, the nominal duke of the Cape family would have no status. This is true for his father and he himself. It may not be appropriate to say that he is a puppet. Now he is more like a child disciplined by adults and has a certain degree of rights and freedom, but this freedom is only based on Capemir's allowance.

"Okay, you won." Lorraine smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yue Yong doesn't know how many emotions these short five words contain. The only thing she can do now is pray that Landu Mu and Kuo will not hurt the girl, pray that they can keep their promises, let herself go and Lorraine, and completely stay away from this place of right and wrong, family, and war, it doesn't matter. She just wants to take Lorraine away, and go anywhere.

...

Capeloline didn't know where she would be taken. Her head was covered with black cloth, and her hands and feet were tied up by ropes. The only thing that was certain was that the man did not take her away with the way she had never left, but hugged herself and jumped off the cliff. What was accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness and falling. After a while, the waves wet her dress, and the wooden boards were shaking and creaking when she stepped on. But even so, she still did not show any panic, but kept comforting Yue Yong.

After about thirty years, Loreen heard the sound of ropes and the slight collision of the ship. Soon, she was taken on another ship and entered the cabin along the wooden ladder. The black cloth covered her head was finally taken off. The dim oil lamp made the white mask on his face even more scary, and the wall on the right was hung with various torture instruments.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Capeloline was forced to sit on the chair by another masked man, and her hands and feet were tied to the legs and armrests by ropes. She only felt a little funny. She was already in this place, so would she still need to be tied so tightly?

"At most seven days, the envoys of the North Ye Kingdom's visit will arrive at the border of the South Yu Kingdom. At that time, this negotiation about the war will be held in Baicheng, Nan Yu Kingdom. If I am not wrong, the representatives of this negotiation of the South Yu Kingdom should be Foreign Minister Hansen and your aunt Capemir, Caperoline. I just want to ask you one question. Do you understand the significance of this negotiation?" Landumu asked in a deep voice.

"So what if you understand, so what if you don't understand? Does all this have anything to do with me? You should go to my aunt instead of me about this." Capeloline sneered.

"Kapelimir killed your father, have you really forgiven her? For the sake of the family, for the Nanyu Kingdom, and for the so-called order, this woman can do anything. Don't you hate her? I know you want to escape, leave Nanyu Kingdom, abandon the so-called duke title, and you want to escape from Kaapelimir's control. Since it has reached this point, why not cooperate with me?"

Landumu walked to Capeloline step by step and whispered in her ear, "I can help you kill Capelimir and make you the real ruler of the Capel family, as long as you agree to cooperate with me."

"It's ridiculous. I suddenly jumped out and kidnapped me. Now I'm going to kill my aunt again. Do you call this kind of thing cooperation? Even if you take a step back, what if I promise you? Can someone like you kill my aunt? Don't make me laugh. Aunt Mir kills you and crushes a bug or two. What are you? Is it worthy to talk to me about cooperation?"

"What am I?"

Landumu suddenly grabbed Capeloline's neck, and the strong sense of suffocation made Capeloline's cheeks turn red. She wanted to struggle, but her hands and feet were tied tightly. She was unstable. She fell to the ground with the chair. The damp and cold boat boards were pressed against her cheeks. She could even smell the fishy smell and the rotten smell of wooden boards.

"Are you pretending to be stupid or really stupid? Capemir, Mr. Xiu, Pope of the Moon Sect, Shenlin, New Clan, Soul Crystal, how about it? Do you think of anything? Do you want me to continue talking?"

Landumu looked at Capeloline who was lying on the ground with no intention of helping her up. He bent down and grabbed her head, and said coldly, "If the situation is allowed to continue, the result of the negotiation in seven days will definitely be a war. You don't care, but I care. Taking the lives of millions of soldiers and billions of people in Nanyu Kingdom as a springboard, your aunt has really betrayed completely. What do you say for the sake of the family, for the Nanyu Kingdom, and for order, but in the end, what's going on? I'm not standing on the side of outsiders. I'll say it again at the end, help me, no matter what wins and loses, wherever you like to go afterwards, I can't help me, and I won't help you, and I'll chop you two hands and feet and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
