Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 15: Aggrieved.

Talk to Alice alone? What’s the point of talking to Alice about whether or not the Debs family is suspected of smuggling? Obviously this Merritt is unsuspecting. Nimitz had also experienced storms and waves, naturally his heart was like a mirror.

Nimitz’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow and look at Merit.

Meilit, however, was comfortably lying on the chair, even closing her eyes to refresh herself, not even looking at Nimitz. Merit’s attitude was clear – want your family to clear their name, let Alice come and talk to me.

Nimitz pondered for a moment, then smiled, ”It’s understandable that Grandmaster Melitte likes Master Linley’s Dream Awakening Stone Sculpture and wants to talk to Alice. Fine, I’ll go back and talk to Alice about it.”

Hearing this, Merit, who had been resting her eyes with them closed, couldn’t help but open her eyes and look at Nimitz beside her with a smile, “Haha, then Nimitz, please go back first. As long as I let Alice have a good talk with me alone, I think that I will understand your Debus family better.”

Nimitz immediately stood up and said humbly and courteously, “Then, Lord Merit, I’ll take my leave first, our Debus family is in your hands, Your Excellency.”

Merit nodded gently.

Nimitz immediately retreated.

And in the middle of the entire living room, Duke Merit was alone at the moment.

Merit was holding a wine glass, but under his breath, he muttered in a low voice, “Goddess, Alice ……”

There was also a hint of self-satisfaction and yearning on his face.

Merit, as the Right Minister of the Finlay Kingdom, was also made a Duke. The status was honorable. One could count on one hand the number of people who had a higher status than him in the Finlay Kingdom.

If he is such a character, what kind of women have not seen.

Merritt, indeed is like women, and now although he is seventy-something years old. Can be equivalent to a great warrior has two or three hundred years of life. Now only seventy-something years old, he is the strongest time. Merit has twelve wives in public. But there is a popular view among the nobles – the wife at home is not as good as the lover outside, while the lover outside is not as good as the one you can’t get. What you can’t get is the best.

But to Merit this position, let him can not get the woman has been very few. The women who could really make his heart flutter were also rare.

And Alice, indeed, was one of them.

Since the stone carving dream wake up famous, in the hearts of many people in the stone carving of the woman is the goddess goddess is unattainable, such as the status of Melitte this respectable, nature especially want to Alice this goddess to their crotch. But this thing is too difficult.

And this time. Is an opportunity.

“Alice, goddess?”

There was a hard-to-conceal smile on Meritt’s face, and then with a tilt of her head, she finished the cup of bright red red wine.

Nimitz was sitting on the carriage going back to the ground, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

Alice was Karan’s fiancée!

If he allowed Alice to meet with Merit alone, he was undoubtedly pushing Alice into the fire. In the future, he would be able to cope with Karan’s reprimand. But if this matter were to spread out, the impact on the Debus family would be great.

“Alas, if the family is finished, what’s the point of mentioning reputation!”

Nimitz shook his head and sighed.

Now the Debus Family had reached its most critical moment. Once the Debus family was convicted of smuggling, then the entire family would be wiped out, and the property would be completely taken away by King Clyde. Although the Debus family had left roots outside, making the family not to be cut off.

However, almost all of the Debus family’s properties were in the Finlay Kingdom.

Once it failed, there was no telling what year the Debus family would have to wait until if they wanted to regain their splendor.

Compared to the family’s future, a little rumor was nothing. After all, when had there ever been less dirt in the circle of nobles?

“This matter, however, must be promised by Alice herself.”

Nimitz got a little worried. “I can’t forcefully send Alice to the Right Minister’s residence.”

Alice’s innocence, Nimitz hadn’t cared about it. It was just a woman!

But Nimitz understood ……

“This Alice, after all, has a special relationship with Linley. If I force Alice, and that Linley knows about it. Then ……”

Nimitz was a little frightened in his heart just thinking about it. Linley, in the Kingdom of Finlay, had a special status.

Although he had been made a Marquis. But Linley was actually a member of the Church of Light, and even originally, Clyde had invited Linley to become a noble of the Kingdom of Finlay. He also said that they didn’t care about each other.

Obviously. Clyde was hoping to draw Linley in.

Because the entire nobility of the Kingdom of Finlay understood that Linley could easily become a White Priest of the Illuminati if he wished to do so, and that after a few decades, it would be normal for Linley to become a Cardinal Archbishop.

A cardinal archbishop, in terms of status, was even higher than a king!

“Can’t be forced.”

Nimitz had a bit of a headache, a headache that Alice would not agree. He put himself in Linley’s shoes and thought about it from Linley’s perspective.

Alice was, after all, Linley’s first love! If he, Nimitz, forced Alice to go to Merritt’s place, he would lose his innocence. It would be strange for Linley not to be furious!

In the middle of the Debus family mansion.

In the living room, many members of the Debus family had gathered, and Alice and Rowling were also here. This large group of people were waiting for Nimitz to return.

They were all worried about the future of the Debus family!

“Second uncle is back, second uncle is back.”

A middle-aged man who was standing at the entrance of the living room, eagerly waiting, immediately shouted when he saw Nimitz’s figure.

All of a sudden, the entire Debus family in the living room swarmed towards Nimitz. The two of them, Alice and Luo Lin, looked at each other and also immediately got up and greeted them outside.

“Second Uncle, how’s it going?”

The middle-aged man immediately inquired.

Nimitz looked at the group of people in front of him. Trying hard to squeeze out a smile, “The situation is okay now. Everyone retreat back first, Alice, you stay for a bit, I still have things to talk to you about.”

Nimitz was still very influential in the family, hearing his words. The group of people also only dispersed one by one.

Alice was a bit puzzled, wondering why Nimitz wanted to give himself a talk alone.

“Sister Alice, I’ll go back to my room first then.”

Lorraine shook Alice’s hand and said in a low voice. In just a moment, only Alice was left alone in the middle of the entire living room.

Nimitz stepped into the middle of the living room.

“Second Grandpa, is there something wrong?”

Alice said with some apprehension.

Nimitz looked at Alice and first smiled affectionately, “Alice, don’t be nervous, you sit down first. Let’s have a good talk.”

Saying that, Nimitz sat down first.

Nimitz who was extremely serious in the past and didn’t look down on her much, how could his attitude be so good today?

Alice was a little puzzled in the bottom of her heart.

“You sit.”

Nimitz smile appeared amiable.

Alice apprehensively sat aside.

Nimitz sighed lowly, his brows filled with sadness, “Alice, you and Karan just got engaged, and I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen to our Debus family. I don’t know what kind of person is secretly framing my Debus Family, if I know about it, I will definitely kill him.”

A trace of fury appeared on Nimitz’s face, then he commiserated and helplessly said, “But now. The most important thing is to clear our Debus Family’s wrongdoings and save Bernard from Karan and the others.”

Alice nodded.

It was just that Alice was puzzled in the bottom of her heart, “Why is Second Grandpa talking to me about this?”

Nimitz looked at Alice and said sincerely, “Alice, I have something to beg you.”

“Beg me?”

Alice was so frightened that she couldn’t help but stand up.

Nimitz was among the Debus family, and even the matriarch respected Nimitz. Now that Nimitz was saying that he was begging her, how could Alice not be shocked.

“Alice, this case of our Debus family’s suspected smuggling was investigated and tried by the Right Minister, Lord Merit, and the Right Minister, Lord Merit, is very curious about you and wants to talk to you alone.”

Nimitz immediately and eagerly persuaded, “Alice. This is a rare opportunity to get on good terms with Lord Merritt. As long as we have a good relationship with Lord Merit, he will help our Debus family, Alice, you grew up with Karan. You won’t end up watching him end up in jail.”

Alice froze.

Talking alone?

Alice was also considered to have lived in a noble family, and was very clear about the filthy scene within the nobility. She guessed it. Meeting with Lord Merritt would definitely not be that simple.

“I, I ……”

Alice stuttered a little.

Nimitz pleaded, “Alice. Our Debus family is counting on you, I can even go so far as to guarantee that as long as you can get along with Lord Merit, you can be Karan’s proper wife.”

Alice felt like her brain was in a muddle at this time.

Alice was still very clean.

Whether it was Linley or Karan, she was ultimately keeping the last word. Even when she was engaged to Karan, Alice had insisted on waiting until after the wedding before she was willing to share a room.

Now she was going to be left to deal with Merit ……

“Alice, even if I beg you.”

Nimitz clenched his teeth and directly knelt down from the chair in one go, pleading, “Alice, the life and death of Karan’s land depends on you.”

“Karan’s life and death?”

Alice was shaken.

Karan was the one she grew up with since childhood, especially these recent days in the Debus family often suffered from rumors, but also Karan has always protected her. “Okay, I promise.”

Alice said with a clench of her teeth.

Nimitz face couldn’t help but have a touch of surprise, and then hurriedly said, “That’s good, in this way, tomorrow evening, I will arrange for you to go to Lord Merritt’s residence.”

But Alice’s face was pale at the moment, and she didn’t respond at all.

The next evening. A carriage under the escort of twelve knights went out of the Debus family residence, and was slowly traveling towards the residence of the Merry Maid. And inside the carriage, there was only Alice alone.

Alice sat quietly inside the carriage, pursing her lips, nervously gripping her long skirt with one hand.

The carriage kept moving forward and soon arrived at the entrance of Duke Merit’s residence.

“Miss Alice, it’s here.”

The carriage driver’s voice came from outside.

Alice couldn’t help but feel a shock at the bottom of her heart when she heard it, her right hand couldn’t help but touch her waist, and the hardness of the dagger in her waist caused Alice’s heart to settle slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Alice then pushed open the door and got off the carriage.

Inside the living room of Duke Merit’s residence.

Alice, who was wearing a long skirt underneath and a jacket on top, was also dressed in a strict manner. With her steps, Alice calmly stepped into the living room, Alice looked around, but the living room was empty.

“Eh?”

Alice’s brows could not help but knit up.

At this time, a female attendant ran over and respectfully said, “Miss Alice, Lord Duke is in the study, please ask Miss Alice to go to the study.”

“Study room?”

Alice gave a slight start.

However, under the urging of the attendant’s gaze, Alice still took a step.

The study was remote and secluded. Even the subordinates here were extremely few. When she walked to the entrance of the study, Alice saw what appeared to be a blonde middle-aged man walking in front of the desk looking at some papers.

“This is Merit?”

The first time Alice saw Merit, she felt that Merit should be a very shrewd person. Even when she was sitting in front of the desk, her waist was straight and her gaze was so stern.

“Lord Duke, Miss Alice is here.”

That maid respectfully said.

Merit raised her head at this time and immediately stood up excitedly when she saw Alice, “Haha, Miss Alice is here? I’ve been waiting for a long time, come, Miss Alice, please sit down first.”

With that, Merit stood up and walked towards Alice.

Alice then stepped into the middle of the study.

Alice looked around, the right side of the study had bookshelves with dense books on it. And on the left side of the study was a bed.

“Usually when I’m tired of reading books or dealing with political affairs, I will rest here.”

Duke Merritt said with a smile, while walking to the door and closing the door of the study.

Seeing the door to the study room closed and only Merit and her were left inside, Alice couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Lord Merit, it’s better to have the room door open. I’m not used to a too dark environment.”

Alice said in a hurry.
