Wizard Earl

"I just don't think you, Bispin, would be stupid enough to dismember and kill Prince Boateng to provoke the Boateng family!" Connor said calmly under Bispin's curious gaze.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing Connor's words, Bispin was not angry but delighted, and he laughed heartily. At the same time, his gaze toward Connor was full of admiration.

Hearing the conversation between Connor and Bisping, Varga realized that Prince Boateng was dead. A look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. She simply couldn't believe that Prince Boateng, who had chased her and Connor around so many times just a while ago, was gone...

After the laughter subsided, Bispin looked at Connor with interest and asked, "Who do you think did this?"

"Does it matter who killed Prince Boateng? The blame for that bloodshed is already on you, Bispin!" Connor replied casually.

Upon hearing Connor's words, Bispin's face immediately displayed a meaningful expression, and he asked Connor in return, "Connor, do you think so?"

Carefully observing Bispin's attitude, Connor fell silent from time to time. Just then, Bispin continued to Connor, "Now that Prince Boateng is dead, my mission in Frosinone is complete. I will return to the capital, Bernabéu, tomorrow."

"This letter was given to me by the professor. It was originally intended to persuade you to cooperate with me in taking down Prince Boateng. When we last met, I saw that you were resolute, so I planned to let you know how formidable Prince Boateng was before giving you the letter. This would make it easier to facilitate your cooperation with Connor. However, I never expected that before the letter even reached you, that unfortunate Prince Boateng would already be dead..."

Bispin retrieved a letter from his spatial ring and returned it to Connor, saying with some emotion:

After carefully examining the letter and confirming that there were no problems, Connor took it from mid-air. However, he did not open the letter or read its contents in front of Bispin.

Seeing Connor's actions, Bispin couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Connor Ferguson, you two are truly... well, you're both so talented."

Bispin stopped there, shaking his head before turning to Connor and saying, "You should know a thing or two about Adolf and Isabella by now, but I still have to warn you, Adolf is no pushover. Connor, you'd better watch yourself!"

After speaking, Bispin glanced at Connor and Varga, then left the yard without any hesitation.

Watching Bispin's departing figure gradually become a small black dot, completely leaving the town of Aryan, and seeing Adolf walk away, Varga, somewhat confused by Connor and Bispin's conversation, turned to Connor and asked with great puzzlement, "What exactly did Bispin want to tell you?"

Upon hearing Varga's question, Connor hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Bispin is telling me that Prince Boateng died at Adolf's hands!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Varga's pretty face. After thinking for a few seconds, Varga said with great puzzlement, "The Royal Family and the Boateng family have just reached a deal, and they are currently in a honeymoon period. How could Adolf possibly kill Prince Boateng?"

"I don't know what reason Adolf would have to kill Prince Boateng, but that's what Bispin was trying to tell me!" Connor shook his head, equally puzzled. In his eyes, this gray-robed old man who was always inseparable from Isabella really had no reason to risk breaking the deal between the Duke's faction and the Boateng family by killing that bastard Prince Boateng.

After much deliberation, still clueless, Connor turned his attention back to Varga beside him. Only then did he remember the main topic of the day, and he abruptly handed the ring box he was holding to Varga, saying, "Varga, this is a gift I prepared for you!"

Today, on our anniversary with Varga, things took a bit of a turn, with Bispin, the uninvited guest, causing some trouble. But we can't let Bispin ruin Connor's plans today. Varga's icy attitude these past few days has really been driving Connor crazy…

As Connor handed her the ring box, Varga's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise, and her expression became slightly shy.

Seeing Varga's shyness, Connor paused for a moment, then instantly realized that Varga was mistaken; he wasn't proposing. To avoid causing Varga even greater disappointment, Connor steeled himself and opened the ring box. Inside was a sparkling, beautiful ring with red and purple light reflecting off it.

"Valga, this ring is a second-tier defensive enchanted item that I crafted using rose gold and Kresite as the main materials. Besides releasing a protective barrier, wearing it on your hand can also help conceal your presence and hide your identity. With this by your side, Varga, I have complete confidence in your safety!"

"By the way, this ring doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it one, Varga?" Connor said with a smile, showing the ring to Varga.

Hearing Connor's explanation, there was nothing like what she had expected. So, despite the ring's beauty and immense power, Varga couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes...

Seeing the disappointment in Varga's eyes, Connor felt a pang of guilt. A surge of passion rushed to his head, and he wanted to propose to Varga. However, just as Connor opened his mouth to speak, Margaret's sorrowful face appeared in his mind, and his passion was immediately extinguished. If he proposed to Varga at this moment, he would undoubtedly be hurting Margaret's sincere feelings for him.

Having been in Frosinone for so long, the distance and time haven't lessened Connor's longing for Margaret; on the contrary, it's intensified it. Sometimes, even when he's with Varga, Connor's thoughts are still on Margaret…
