Chapter 107: Lance’s daughter, Bardel’s mother
Under the same night sky, with the same moonlight shining down.
While Alicia was feasting with the Kendrick family, a handsome middle-aged man, oh no, a handsome eunuch was cursing loudly in the prison.
“Damn it, why is the food in this prison so terrible?”
Lance threw his food bowl aside and shouted loudly.
The guard gave Lance a contemptuous glance: “Eat if you want, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t.”
“Bastard, do you know who I am? You dare to talk to me like that?”
Lance’s battle qi surged, glaring fiercely at the guard outside the door. “With a scum like you, I could slap you to death with a single hand.”
“Then go ahead and slap me.”
The guard showed no sign of fear: “I heard from the higher-ups that you were personally captured by My Lord Hero. If you dare to make trouble in here, My Lord Hero will definitely show up to deal with you.”
“You…” Lance gritted his teeth, his battle qi instantly dissipating. “I won’t bother to argue with a kid like you.”
Saying that, Lance sat back down at the table and began to eat wildly again.
“Hmph, a real man can endure. Once I get out of this prison, I’ll be a hero once again.”
“No way, you don’t even have any tools left; you’re just a eunuch, how can you still consider yourself a hero?”
A cold, sarcastic voice slowly came through.
Hearing this, Lance suddenly turned around, exploding with curses. “Damn it, who are you calling a eunuch?! I—”
But the moment he saw the newcomer’s appearance, he quickly shut his mouth.
The person had golden hair and blue eyes, a graceful figure with long legs and a slender waist, and a pair of ample breasts. She wore silver light armor, and a sharp, slender sword hung at her waist. Every gesture revealed the refined demeanor of a true swordsman.
“You what?” The golden-haired woman smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, “Go ahead and curse whatever you want; I’m not anything good anyway.”
“Elbira, my dear daughter, what are you doing here?” Lance’s eyes widened, filled with guilt.
“What do you think?” Elbira smiled brightly and said, “My dear papa said he was going for a walk, but ended up not coming home all night and made the front page of the town’s newspaper the next day. That’s just fantastic.”
At this point, Elbira’s smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a face full of disgust: “You really are something. At your age, sneaking into someone else’s house to steal a teenage girl’s underwear, and with solid evidence no less, you still refuse to admit it and even injured Town Mayor Cedric.”
“Can you be a person?” Elbira scolded loudly.
“I did not steal any teenage girl’s underwear; Cedric and the others slandered me!” Lance hurriedly retorted.
“You’re still trying to argue.” Elbira said angrily, “You said Cedric slandered you; fine, but does that mean even Shadie and My Lord Hero will also slander you?”
“I…” Lance was momentarily left speechless.
In the human world, the term “hero” is basically synonymous with “justice.”
The prison is undoubtedly a symbol of sin; no matter how he argues, it holds no meaning.
But the problem is, he wasn’t caught for something as childish as stealing underwear; he clearly was…
Sigh, forget it.
Let it be for the underwear; it’s better than Elbira finding out about his little book.
With this thought, Lance said nothing more and returned to his bed, casually lying down: “Forget it, I’m already stuck in prison; you can say whatever you want.”
“Hmph, shameless old man.” Elbira said.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Lance responded lightly a couple of times, and although he was scolded, there was a hint of happiness in his tone.
Hmm, not bad, not bad.
It was indeed the right choice to send Elbira to be raised by the master back then; look at her righteous demeanor, she is indeed completely different from himself and that brat at home.
So good.
“What are you smiling about, old pervert?” Elbira asked. “Are you that happy about being locked up?”
“No, no, no.” Lance shook his head: “Oh, by the way, dear daughter, speaking of which, the duel is in half a month; Papa won’t be there since I’m stuck in prison. Can you handle it on your own?”
“Duh.” Elbira shot Lance an annoyed glance. “I am a direct disciple of the sixth Guardian, the Lionheart Sword Saint. How could a swordsman who hasn’t even learned proper swordsmanship be my opponent?”
“It’s ridiculous, a descendant of the Blood Clan going to the Blood Clan’s territory with the army to fight against the Blood Clan; what is Cedric, the town mayor, thinking?”
“Rather than this, they might as well give me this slot. After I behead a few Blood Clan princes and return in triumph, I can rightfully become the true successor of the Lionheart Sword Mountain.”
Elbira said with determination: “By then, no one will dare meddle in my marriage!”
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away in Count Garcean’s residence.
Under bright lights, a beautiful noblewoman dressed in formal attire was carefully reading a letter in her hands.
With slightly parted red lips, the noblewoman slowly pronounced the key words in the letter.
“Elrose.”
Then, she picked up a gem that was beside her, included with the letter.
Mana flowed into it, and a beautiful figure in a maid outfit suddenly appeared before the noblewoman.
“Oh my, what a lovely child.” A gentle smile appeared at the corner of the noblewoman’s mouth. “That brat Bardel finally has some decent taste.”
Just then, a rough voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
“What are you looking at, my lady? You seem so happy.”
The noblewoman turned around, gave a slight smile, and handed over the letter and gem: “It’s good news; Count, would you like to see for yourself?”
Count Garcean took the letter and quickly scanned the text, his eyes widening in an instant.
“Bardel met a girl he likes!!!” His rough voice suddenly boomed, and it seemed like tears glimmered in Count Garcean’s eyes. “My goodness, may the deities bless, our brat has finally woken up.”
“That’s not even the main point; did you see what the letter says? Bardel, to win the girl’s favor, actually had no qualms about beating up his own subordinates.” The Countess said with meaningful emphasis: “Do you know what this means?”
“What does it mean?”
“It means that Bardel will listen to that girl’s words, and he will follow her requests.” The Countess said: “As long as we can establish a good relationship with that girl and have her help discipline Bardel, all of his bad habits can be corrected.”
“This, this is simply amazing.” Count Garcean was so excited that his hands trembled: “So what do you plan to do, my lady?”
“What to do?” The Countess smiled leisurely: “Do I even need to ask? Of course, we’re going to Karashok to meet my future daughter-in-law.”
