Chapter 140 Didn’t you notice? (35)
"..."

In the quiet study, the father and son looked at each other silently.

Cordi frowned and stared at his father with an expression of confusion and disappointment.

The Grand Duke of Silver Wing appeared very calm the whole time, his deep gaze fixed on the expression of his eldest son.

After a long silence, Cordi took the initiative to break the silence.

"Father, I never thought that you would look at me in this way..."

He clenched his fists in pain and pounded his chest hard.

Boom!
"When Herbert encountered that incident, I was also very heartbroken!"

"Have you forgotten? I was the one who led people to the prison and brought him out! If it weren't for me, he would have suffered even more torture in prison!"

"It's me. I'm going to talk to the Third Prince and convince him that Herbert is not that kind of person."

"It was me who investigated the truth of the matter! I discovered that there was something unusual about the maid's identity!"

"I am the one who did all these things!"

"And now, you actually doubt me? I..."

He was a little emotional when he said this. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I understand. No matter what I say now, you won't believe it."

"But whether you believe it or not, my thoughts will not change, and my actions will not change at all!"

"Father, the most urgent thing now is not the time to dwell on something that has already passed!"

He glared at Grand Duke Silver Wing with sharp eyes and said slowly: "I know that after you heard about that incident, you had some thoughts in your mind."

“They say Herbert is back and has amazing strength.”

"But I would like to remind you that he has not returned to the Duke's Mansion. No one can really confirm his identity. It is also unknown whether someone used his face to do those things."

"And even if he really comes back, he can't be a qualified heir with his personality!"

Cordi took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously, getting rid of all the emotional expressions on his face, and returning to his previous calm appearance.

他 说:

"Father, please sober up."

"We have to step in now! Duke Silver Wing must put an end to this riot, otherwise... it will be too late."

After saying this, he stood up straight, bowed to his father, then strode out of the door and closed it heavily.

Bang!
The door of the study was slammed shut, adding a hint of loneliness to the expression of Grand Duke Silver Wing.

"..."

Shortly after Cordy left, Grand Duke Silver Wing sighed a little tiredly and whispered to himself: "Not involved?"

"If you really weren't involved..."

"Then why do you know which one I'm talking about?"

His voice was so low that the pain contained in it was almost unnoticeable.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the oil painting hanging in the study, his eyes somewhat melancholy.

The painting depicts a boy with black and white hair holding hands with another white-haired child and playing happily.

After a long time.

Grand Duke Silver Wing closed his eyes in pain and smashed the solid wood desk with one punch.

click!
clack clack...

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical gears turning, the tightly wrapped Kordi passed through layers of guards and walked into the secret room that suddenly appeared.

He waited in the dark for a while, and only moved forward after the last door opened.

Once the door was opened, it meant that he had passed the inspection and the other party confirmed that there was no suspicion on him.

Da da da……

Cordi walked quickly into the room and came to the last room, looking at the elegant young man who was reading the classics on the bookshelf under the candlelight.

"Your Highness Terrence!" Terrence Olivia.

The most powerful young man in the entire kingdom at the moment, although nearly thirty-five years old, his strength has reached the late high level. He is the royal member most likely to become a legend in the future and inherit the title of [Dragon Slayer].

"Huh? You're here?"

Prince Terrence came back to his senses after hearing the call, turned his head and took a look, then smiled at Cordy and teased, "Why are you dressed like this? Did you do something wrong?"

"Your Highness! Now is not the time to joke."

But compared to Terrence's ease, Cordie looked extremely anxious at the moment, far from being as calm as he was in front of his father.

"The Grand Duke of Silver Wing has no intention of showing up! I don't know what this madman is thinking. Does he really think that guy will let him go after he comes back?"

There was no respect for his father in his words, only irreconcilable hatred.

"Sir Cordy, what are you worried about?"

Terrence laughed and shook his head, "Regardless of whether the 'murderer' is the child or not, even if it is him, he would not have done anything to you, right?"

"And if he attacks the Silver Wing Grand Duke, wouldn't that be just right?"

Cordie was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

"You mean..."

"Yes, if Herbert really takes action, then a man like him who killed his father will definitely not be able to become the new Duke of Silver Wing. Then, wouldn't this position fall to you?"

Cordi blinked, thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to want to say something, but quickly shook his head.

"No, this matter is still dangerous! Once he knows the truth, I will definitely die."

He bit his lips hard without any image and said angrily: "Damn it, how could he become like this! ! !"

Where on earth did he get his strength from!
What exactly did the Misty Monastery give him?
Didn't I already arrange those people inside to target them? Why did it turn out like this?

Did they betray me?
them……

Cordy took a deep breath, looked at Terrence seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you may not care now, but I want to remind you - once this matter is exposed, both of us will be in danger!"

"The one from the Witch Society cannot be trusted. He didn't do what he promised! That bitch Filia has been sending people to secretly target our businesses since she came back from her mother's visit!"

When he thought of the destroyed slave businesses, his eyes were filled with undisguised anger, and he wished he could eat them alive.

"Your Highness, please act quickly!"

"As long as you become the new king, he will need our support to maintain his position in the Witch Society, instead of us relying on him to gain status!"

"The situation is critical. We can't wait any longer!"

Kordi talked for a long time and suddenly realized that His Highness had remained silent.

"…Your Highness? Why have you remained silent?"

Feeling strange, he looked up and found Terrence looking at him with a subtle expression.

Ok?
After noticing his gaze, Terrence laughed and said softly, "My dear Sir Cordi...did you really not notice?"

dong dong!

At this moment, Cordi's heart was beating wildly, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart.

"Fa, what did you find?"

He backed away slowly, trying to escape, but found his feet were firmly fixed to the ground.

! ! ?

"Discover……"

Terrence smiled, and the flesh on his face began to move strangely, and his golden hair began to gradually change color.

他 说:

"I'm not actually him about this."
