Chapter 5, Tuz's Doubts

Tuz waited quietly for a moment

Young Master Rundit, dressed in a bathrobe and holding a whip, sleepily walked out, his face showing displeasure as he said: "Butler Tuz, it is the middle of the night now"

Then... just have Agni marry me. " Luo Lan said casually, " This will also solve all the problems.

Tuz put on his glasses again and took another look at the young master, who usually showed no interest in learning. He finally sighed and said, "Young master, I will carefully consider your suggestion"

A storm is about to arrive

As early as evening, a report was placed on Tuz's desk, clearly detailing when Lindit left with three swordsmen and when he returned. However, this young master returned alone, bearing a look of confusion and unease. The report stated that three corpses of Lindit's accompanying swordsmen were found in an abandoned wooden cabin, along with Xios, who appeared dazed and seemed to have forgotten who he was and what he had done.

The butler Tuz gazed deeply at the other party, slightly inclined his body, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, I have something important to discuss"

Tuz exclaimed, "When we see the master tomorrow, perhaps his memory will have suddenly returned."

However, Tuz believes that none of these are the truth; they are merely the clumsy tricks of this immature young master, and it seems that he has not succeeded yet

Luo Lan felt a chill in her heart; this reason was something he had not anticipated. He carefully recalled the character and conduct of Count Zode, only to realize that the possibility of Tuz's words becoming reality was quite high

He turned his head to look out the window

"What exactly are you worried about?" Luo Lan's voice rose significantly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

He emphasized the two words "cautious" and "careful".

He stepped on the edge of the dim light, gradually approaching Tuz in a nearly imperceptible manner. As long as nothing unexpected occurred, he had several ways to ensure that the other party would die unknowingly.

An important matter? Luo Lan felt a slight tremor in his heart. He quietly moved to the window, pretending to open it for ventilation. A gust of cold wind rushed into the room, causing the candle flame to flicker violently. Then he suddenly turned around and exclaimed with joy, "Have you perhaps acquired another rare bird of prey?"

It may be quite normal for Tuz to be concerned about his inheritance from the perspective of Lindit, but from Ro Lan's point of view, it seems very strange. Tuz may be loyal to the Landiston family, but there is no reason for him to completely side with Ro Lan. The best choice would be to remain neutral, waiting for the outcome between the two, while appropriately expressing loyalty to both during this process. This way, regardless of who becomes the heir of the family, he would not be cast aside. Moreover, if the commoner background Theos were to become the heir, it would actually elevate his status. However, it now appears that he has not only sided with Ro Lan but has also completely antagonized the other party. The reason behind this behavior is something that Ro Lan finds difficult to understand.

Yes, young master. Tuz felt a faint sense of unease.

What? It was as if he had been struck hard with a punch, and Butler Tuz staggered back a few steps, looking at him in shock.

The servant hurriedly retreated, discreetly covering his arm.

Indeed, he is disguised

Move your steps in the darkness, with caution, with caution, and with even more caution! ーー "The Thief's Handbook"

Luo Lantong was immediately filled with murderous intent

The room was suddenly engulfed in darkness

Tuz furrowed his brow, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and coughed lightly, saying: "The most important matter at hand is your inheritance rights"

Where, it is just the identity of my daughter and me

Indeed, for someone in his position, feigning amnesia under threat is the best choice, as it can reduce hostility from others and conceal his act of killing those three swordsmen. Coincidentally, you have also helped him to maintain this lie, Beast... Sigh. Tuz shook his head in disagreement with the book, knowing how difficult it would be for such a useless young master to admit his mistakes, so he could only try to express it as tactfully as possible.

The individual appears to be in his fifties, possessing a scholarly demeanor. His attire is both appropriate and conservative. His slender physique and long limbs show no signs of having practiced any martial arts; there are no distinctive shapes around his palms indicative of wielding weapons such as swords or spears, nor are there any traces of calluses that might have been removed with potions. He is entirely unacquainted with martial skills. According to the records, Count Zod has been bedridden for over a decade, which has effectively led him to take charge of the entire family's operations.

Tuz slowly shook his head, casting a meaningful glance at him, and said: "I fear that may not be the case"

"Young Master, I have followed the Master for forty years, and I am well aware of what he is thinking." He brushed his meticulously combed white hair and said with some excitement, "One important criterion for the Count to establish an heir is to see who has the ability to carry on the family lineage, but can you do it?"

Luo Lan was taken aback, her footsteps halted, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Are you saying..."

A hint of barely perceptible amusement appeared in Luo Lan's eyes, so I will also drag you into this murky water

This is a fatal flaw in his plan

The term "Tuz" means you are homosexual, and these individuals are merely for show when married, and also for the sake of property; you might as well make some compromises.

Tuz took off his glasses and pulled out a white handkerchief to wipe them. Although his surface demeanor was as calm as ever, his fingers trembled slightly. He was well aware of this young master's interests and peculiarities; Agni was merely a tool for him

The butler Tuz suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "But how do you know that your brother has truly lost his memory?"

A chilling sense of cold gradually spreads through the dark atmosphere

But if that is truly the case, one could indeed become a noble. In an instant, the happiness of his daughter and the future of the family intertwined within him, creating an immense contradiction

When Lundit was surprised to discover that his brother Juhe had lost his memory, he straightened his back and began to boast about how he fought against monsters in the jungle, while his brother was left dumbfounded.

Luo Lan smiled slyly and said: "Butler Tuz, please be sure to help me. I know that your great-grandfather once helped my great-grandfather break his brother's leg, your grandfather helped your grandfather frame his brother, and your father assisted my father in seizing his inheritance rights. Now, it is finally your turn to help me"

Go and wake the young master, just tell him I have urgent matters to discuss. Tuz waved his hand, paced in place for two rounds, but found that the servant stood still, only showing a face full of difficulty.

There must be some hidden secrets behind this

Indeed, as he had anticipated, Tuz could not help but sigh. After the young master’s lies were exposed, instead of seeking ways to make amends, he merely clung to his pride. He had no choice but to play his last card, striving to rectify the mistakes he had made, and coldly stated: "Even if he truly has amnesia, do you think you have gained the right to inherit? Your initial actions were erroneous!"

His piercing gaze was immediately cast over, and the servant hesitated for a moment, ultimately succumbing to the pressure, having no choice but to turn and walk into the inner room, mechanically ringing the bell, and then his next action was to hold his head...

This afternoon? Luo Lan hesitated and said: "Did you not already know?"

The anguished cries of the servant came from the inner room, followed by a stumbling figure that rolled to his feet.

Luo Lan secretly gave a thumbs up, but on the surface, he remained as loyal as ever to his role, snorting and arrogantly saying: "How do you know what the situation was at that time? He simply lost his memory!"

Tuz did not notice the approach of death, his head slightly lowered as if lost in thought, he said: "From the moment your brother entered the castle, I realized he was not ordinary."

After a moment of calm reflection in his heart, he slowly settled down and focused on the book. He believed that Tuz's arrival tonight must have been accompanied by a proper plan.

Luo Lan stood still for quite a while, then suddenly pointed at him and laughed heartily, saying: "Are you joking with me? But he is now an idiot."

No. " Luo Lan suddenly fixed her gaze on Tuz, smiling somewhat strangely as she said: "Your daughter Agni seems to have studied equestrianism and swordsmanship at the Knight Academy?"

However, in Tuz's eyes, this young master merely glanced at the name with disdain, not even pausing for long before turning his face away and reluctantly saying, "I fear there may not be enough time."

He listened intently, straining to discern the sounds around him, yet he found nothing that could explain his confusion

What?" Luo Lan was slightly taken aback

Oh?

This is indeed a problem, Tuz hesitated for a moment: "Perhaps I could delay the time for your brother to meet with the gentleman"

"Young Master," Butler Tuz's tone was serious, "I need to know what exactly happened this afternoon"

Ah ... ...

A gust of wind rushed in through the window, abruptly extinguishing several candle flames

The servant who was originally standing in front of the archway immediately approached with a sense of urgency

Then there will be no problem at all. After our marriage, your status will change, won't it

Luo Lan was first taken aback, then his expression turned serious as he said discontentedly, "What do you mean by this?" The wind from the window gradually grew stronger, tousling the short hair on his forehead, and his gaze flickered restlessly.

He adjusted his glasses slightly and said softly, "You know what I mean"

"What is it? Is it that you are unwilling, or am I not qualified enough?" Luo Lan said coldly

Yes... however...

In Tuz's view, his performance seemed to have touched a hidden pain, bringing him one step closer to a judgment of the facts. He sighed helplessly, raised his head, and fixed his gaze on Luo Lan, saying: "I suspect... he is pretending."

In the dim night, the stone corridor, which should have been enveloped in silence, echoed with the somewhat hurried footsteps of Butler Tuz. A faint worry was etched on his brow as he passed through multiple doorways and came to a stop in front of a brightly lit and elegantly decorated parlor

That will do. Luo Lan did not give Tuz a chance to speak at all. He smiled and patted Tuz on the shoulder, proudly stating: "Agnès is a准骑士 who graduated from the Knight Academy and wears the white insignia, so she is worthy of my status."

The storm has finally arrived

If Tuz truly noticed his own flaws, why would he come to see himself alone? He couldn't help but stop his actions and said coldly in the darkness, "What do you want to say?"

On the contrary. Tuz shot him a glance: "Even if he is truly an idiot, drugs can still make him comply, making him more obedient than the most docile stallion. I believe he would be the most obedient son. As for you..." He shook his head repeatedly

Luo Lan looked at him and nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Butler Tuz, you are a clever man"

Luo Lan was taken aback; he truly did not expect Tuz to provide such a brilliant analysis

A thick, murky mass of dark clouds loomed over the Lantiston family castle, then spread its menacing form in all directions

"Ha ha, is there still any suspense in this?" Luo Lan laughed triumphantly, "That filthy pig has completely turned into an idiot!" As he spoke this sentence with the demeanor and tone of Lindit, he secretly remained vigilant, observing the expression of Butler Tuz, speculating on the intent behind the words he had just uttered.

As expected, Tuz took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it, revealing several lines of scrawled names: "I have a few noble ladies here; as long as you select one of them and establish a nominal marriage alliance, it will have a significant effect with the Count. Although the time is a bit rushed and their appearances are not particularly impressive, I believe you will not mind those details."

Hmm... this sounded to Luo Lan more like the prelude to exposing a conspiracy, prompting him to subtly move forward a little.
