When facing a beast, your fear is the biggest reason for it to pounce on you.
Just like Karun now, in front of this little girl, if he showed any fear or exhibited normal human thoughts and behaviors, then what awaited him would be a fate similar to her older brother.
She was a beast,
And this damn study was like a cage, locking him and the beast together.
Karun swore,
After this, he would immediately go and learn the Order God's magic of priesthood. No, since he was able to awaken a corpse before purification, why couldn't he try higher-level magic?
Divine Revelation, Divine Pastoral, and even Judge!
Even if there was a great risk in learning them early, it was still better than now, right?
Actually, Karun didn't have much reason to complain about his laziness because he had just completed purification yesterday, and this little beast came in today.
The only laziness was probably sitting at the desk this morning, eating a not-so-delicious breakfast.
Other than that,
A secretary desk should be added next to the study. Even if he was just sitting in the study trimming his nails, Alfred must accompany him there.
Judy walked to the desk,
Before ringing the bell,
She smiled,
Then she turned to Karun,
Karun noticed it from the corner of his eye, but continued to pull his clothes with his fingers.
"Ding..."
Judy rang the doorbell.
Standing at the door was Boge, the first level of the family's belief system.
Karun felt that he probably wasn't a match for this royal crazy girl.
And when Boge saw that there was another person in the study, he was obviously stunned. He had been standing at the door of the study all the time, how did he not know that someone had come in?
"Go and get me a set of clothes. Princess Judy's saliva got my clothes dirty."
"No, it's obviously that you like to taste her saliva."
After pouting,
Judy even showed a cute smile to Boge who was standing there.
"Young master, the old master wants to know if you want to participate in the cemetery ceremony later."
"I'm not going."
"Okay, I'll go get your clothes for you, young master."
Soon, Alfred came in with the clothes. Before entering, his expression was a bit solemn, but after entering, he resumed his rigorous smile.
"Young master, here are your clothes."
"Well, you're also a very elegant butler." Judy took the initiative to walk to Karun's side, squatting down, and hugged Karun's leg who was sitting on the chair. "I even start to wonder if there's any story between you and your butler?"
"Put the clothes on the table, and you can leave."
Alfred put the clothes on the desk and asked with a smile, "Young master, do you need me to help you change?"
"No need."
Karun shook his head and gently patted Judy's little head with his hand:
"I want to experience the feeling of the princess helping me change clothes."
"Okay, young master."Alfred walked out of the study, stopped at the door, turned around, pulled the study doorknob with both hands, and closed the door.
"Click."
At the moment the door closed, Alfred directly lifted Borg's collar, and the young man's feet left the ground.
"What are you guarding? You useless waste!"
After muttering in a low voice, Alfred threw Borg to the ground.
Borg immediately got up and said, "I don't know. I've been at the door the whole time. I don't know how the princess got in. I just thought it was strange, so I specially told you, sir. Is the young master okay? Didn't you just go in to check?"
"Okay?" Alfred kicked Borg again, and Borg fell to the ground.
The "radio" fairy in Puerh's mouth only showed respect to great beings, but in fact, he was a demon who could obtain an independent living space on par with a normal judge in the Order of the Gods!
"When I just went in, that girl deliberately stuck to the young master's side, fearing that I would suddenly attack her. She was using the young master as a hostage. Do you call this okay?"
Borg, who was kicked down, immediately got up again and asked, "Please tell me what to do now?"
"What else can you do?" Alfred took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. "Wait for her to come out by herself."
Borg asked, "Shall I go find the old master and ask him to invite the Duke of York over?"
"Don't do anything, don't be unnecessary." Alfred took a deep breath and reminded him, "When you lose control of the situation, doing nothing can ensure the minimum damage. Hasty actions may make things worse. Since the bell was pressed in the study before, it proves that the young master is still in control. Let's... trust the young master."
"Yes, thank you for your teaching, Mr. Alfred." Borg bowed to Alfred while holding his chest.
Alfred glanced at him and said, "Put a table in the study for me. From today on, I will always be with the young master."
...
Karun took off his dirty coat and handed it to Judia.
Judia took the coat and put it on the desk. Then she picked up a new piece of clothing, walked over, opened the cuffs, and asked, "I'm curious."
"What are you curious about?"
Karun put his hand into the sleeve and put on the clothes. Then he stood facing Judia, indicating that she should help him fasten the buttons.
Judia reached out and helped Karun fasten the buttons, and continued, "Curious if you were performing in front of me just now. Everything you did before was just an act."
"Yes, I was just acting." Karun answered honestly.
"Oh?" Judia continued to fasten the buttons. "If it was just an act, then your acting talent is amazing. You should be the lead actor at the Royal Theatre in York.""I've already made a choice, but I keep testing it, it's a boring thing," Karun said.
"Well, you make a good point," Judyah replied.

She finished fastening the buttons in front of her, then Karun turned around and let her help him tidy up the back of his clothes.
After he gave her his whole back, Karun continued, "Since you've made a choice, just keep going. Actually, the right or wrong end point is not important most of the time. That's just for others to see. What you can see is whether you like and enjoy the scenery on this road."
"I understand," Judyah said.
She let go of Karun's clothes. "It's all tidy here now."
Karun turned around and personally adjusted his cuffs.
"At first I thought you were cleaning this study room, then I found out that wasn't the case. Later, I thought you were just a core member of the Allen family, but now I find out that's not the case either. You're the owner of this study room in the Allen family now, how strange," Judyah said.
"Is that really strange?" Karun smiled. "Then your sense of strangeness is really low."
Judyah lifted her skirt and bowed to Karun. "I'm curious. If I walk out of this study room alone, is it possible that you ordered an attack on me? "
"The possibility of that is the same as when you first climbed in through the window and wanted to eat me."
"How can I leave then?"
"What do you think?" Karun finished adjusting his clothes. "You can ask yourself what made you give up on eating me."
"I can tell you a secret, a Gloria royal family secret targeting the Allen family."
"Go on."
"The Gloria royal family is preparing to attack the Allen family."
"Why not now? Your brother Henry is a good scapegoat."
"Because it's not the right time yet. My great-grandmother's health is getting worse and worse. She's dying."
"She could die at any time, after all, she's so old."
"But she has a way to continue living, and once this method succeeds, it can greatly improve the status of the Gloria family."
"Can you explain more clearly?"
Judyah pointed to the portrait of Count Lecar in the room. "Count Lecar once gave half a sea chart to my Gloria ancestor as... payment for services rendered."
"I see," Karun said. He didn't find it strange. In pirate stories, there would never be a lack of a sea chart, and this sea chart could never be complete.
"More than a hundred years ago, the Gloria and Allen families jointly formed an exploration fleet, merging their respective half sea charts together. Following the directions on the sea chart, they went to explore the mysterious treasure. The expedition suffered heavy losses, only the flagship of the Allen family returned, and the Gloria family was completely wiped out."
Karun's heart moved slightly. So, was that finger of the God of Light the treasure that the Allen family brought back from that treasure hunt?"But the fact is, there was an ancestor of the Gloria family who participated in that adventure back then. He didn't die and floated on the sea, stranded on a deserted island.
In the past hundred years, with the expansion of the colonial movement, a survey team belonging to the mining department finally came to that island twenty years ago and discovered the remains of that ancestor in the mountain cave on the island.
There was a box next to the remains, and inside the box was a black seed."
"Your story is a bit too long." Karun reminded her. "Perhaps I can teach you how to tell a story without making the audience feel bored."
But what Karun was thinking was that the joint expedition team back then, the Allen family brought back the Finger of God, and the seed that the Gloria family ancestor wanted to protect before he died must be extraordinary.
"There are actors in the theater who specialize in telling stories, and they perform almost every day. They tell nonsense, but many people buy tickets to listen to them every day."
"Okay, I will go to the theater next time I have the chance, but for now..."
"My great-grandmother plans to visit the Allen family before she dies. This is the glory of a vassal. When the queen visits a family, it is a favor, even a collective honor for a small town or a city."
"And then?"
"My great-grandmother will die at the Allen family, and the seed will sprout in her body. Then, on that night, everyone in the Allen Manor will die, but my great-grandmother will be reborn, but she will definitely die in the Allen Manor. Her body should also be left there.
Maybe outsiders don't know that the Gloria family only protects themselves, but dare not really take the initiative to attack outside, because the church is very strict in guarding the Wein royal family. The royal family can play on their own territory, but if they want to expose any ambitions, they will inevitably be suppressed by the church.
Fortunately, with this method, it can deceive the church's suspicion of the royal family, and outsiders will not think that the Gloria family has destroyed the Allen family."
"Be more specific."
"I don't know the specifics." Judia explained, "It is my great-grandmother who has to swallow the seed, not me."
"Why choose the Allen family?"
"This should be the result of the family's research. This seed has been stained with blood, the blood of the Allen family ancestor a hundred years ago."
"What?"
Judia shrugged and said, "Is it hard to understand? It probably involves the joint expedition team formed by both sides, but they fought fiercely when it came to distributing benefits.
Since the flagship of the Allen family has returned, it means that the Gloria family ancestor failed in the fight.
So, the ancestor who jumped into the sea with the seed and washed up on the deserted island and died in the end, should have carried the last hope of all the Gloria tribe members who went on the expedition.
But that seed should have been stained with the blood of the Allen family members, maybe it was stained during the fight between the two sides, or maybe it was to claim it as their own, so they dripped blood first."Anyway, the research results of the family's nearly 20 years of effort showed that the nutrition needed for this seed to germinate should come from the Allen family.
In fact, this research was almost done ten years ago. The specific usage and taboos were already clear at that time."
"So why wait until now?"
"Because our great-grandmother was afraid of death, so she, the highest-ranking member, chose various methods to delay and hinder the arrival of this plan.
Now, because she feels that she is really going to die, she has firmly set her hope of rebirth on this seed.
Our great-grandmother is the head of the Gloria family and the co-ruler of the Wien country and its affiliated countries and colonies. When she doesn't want to die, no one can urge her.
Moreover, in recent years, the Raphael family has been increasingly eroding the Allen family. In order to prevent the Allen family from falling into decline, the Gloria family has also helped to suppress the Raphael family.
Because the Allen Manor is where our great-grandmother has chosen to... awaken.
I think in the near future, we won't be able to find my brother's body."
Judy patted her stomach.
"But the funeral will definitely be held at the Allen Manor according to tradition. At that time, our great-grandmother, as the queen, should come to mourn her great-grandson in person.
If she chooses to stay at the Allen Manor that night, it means that she has prepared everything, mainly psychologically, because even though the consequences of swallowing that seed have been calculated and analyzed by many years of family elders, after all, there is only one seed, and there is no way to experiment with it."
"If the nutrition of that seed must come from the Allen family's blood, doesn't the Gloria family also have..." Karun looked at Judy.
Judy pointed to the portrait of Count Lecar in the room and said, "Actually, my direct bloodline is not Queen Gloria III. Gloria III did not give birth to any children for Count Lecar. In fact, Queen Gloria III had already lost her fertility when she was with Count Lecar. Although she gave birth to several children after that in history, they were all other children in the family who were named after her."
"Huh? Then you..."
"But Princess Lusen, Gloria III's daughter, gave birth to a child for Count Lecar."
As the lover of Count Lecar, the mother could not give birth to a child, but her daughter gave birth?
However, if we consider the era, a pirate boss who was rampant and lawless, where would he have any secular ethical standards?
Perhaps his attachment and centripetal force to the family were all he could retain. For most of his life, he was actually a scum who did what scum should do.
"That line didn't produce very good results. Only two first-levels were born. But as you know, the Gloria family often mixes and matches, taking a little from here and a little from there.""但是,我不会让你们伤害到他,因为他是我的家族,我的信仰,我的一切."
卡伦默默地看着她,心中有些感慨。
这个小姑娘,虽然看起来十分天真,但是她内心深处,却有着强大的信仰力量。
这种信仰力量,让她愿意为了自己的家族,不惜一切代价。
卡伦不禁想起了自己的祖父,那个一心想要重振家族荣光的人。
也许,这就是家族的力量吧。
朱迪雅突然转身,面对卡伦说道:
"你们要小心,卡伦先生,因为你们的敌人,不仅仅是格洛丽亚家族,还有其他的势力,他们一直在暗中观察着你们,等待着机会。"
"其他势力?"
"是的。"
朱迪雅的眼神变得严肃起来。
"他们的目的,很可能不仅仅是为了打击艾伦家族,还有其他更加复杂的原因。"
卡伦心中一沉。
这个世界,看来还有许多他不知道的事情。
他不禁想起了那个神秘的组织,那个一直在背后操纵一切的组织。
或许,他们就是朱迪雅所说的那些势力之一。
卡伦深吸了一口气,面对着朱迪雅说道:
"谢谢你的提醒,朱迪雅小姐。我们会小心的。"
朱迪雅微微一笑,然后转身离开了书房。
卡伦看着她的背影,心中有着复杂的情绪。
他不禁想起了自己的使命,想起了自己要面对的一切。
这个世界,真的如此危险吗?
他不知道,但是他知道,他必须要去面对这一切。
因为他是卡伦·茵默莱斯,他是艾伦家族的长孙,他有着自己的使命和责任。
他必须要走下去,直到最后一刻。"The Gloria family is not my family, and I have no emotional ties with the Duke of York. In my perception, my father is him!
Do you know why I ate Henry? He was useless and didn't know the secrets of the family. I, on the other hand, enjoy the genius treatment of the Gloria family, so I know much more than Henry.
I have seen Yunes sister several times before. She used to accompany her mother Lady Jenny to the palace to have afternoon tea with her great-grandmother.
I love watching her, being close to her, because she gives me a sense of family.
However, the fallen Allen family has not conducted a blood test on her in order to marry her off for a good price.
But I firmly believe that since she gives me this feeling, it means that she is just like me, with a strong ancestral bloodline.
Ah,
she is my sister, my beautiful sister, she is so gentle and charming.
Henry even wants to dream of marrying her and defiling my sister. He is thinking of eating feces!
And,
I found that it may be because of me that the family seems to have this idea to promote this marriage, to let Yunes sister marry in and arrange that big event, and to keep a bloodline belonging to the Allen family for the family.
So, I took the opportunity to kill my stupid brother who wanted to eat swan meat, and also stuffed horse manure into his mouth, telling him what he should really eat.
But what you said is really great, great-grandmother's underwear, hahaha, that is the real classic!"
"You killed Henry because he wanted to marry Yunes?" Karun asked.
"Yes, that's right. Although I only said a few simple greetings to my sister, who dares to defile my beautiful and pure sister, which stinky man dares to marry her, I will kill that man!"
"..." Karun.
"Okay, I'm done talking. The dirty and stupid Gloria family wants to use my Allen family as a sacrifice. How could I sit idly by? I must remind them first.
This is the Allen Manor of the Allen family, my home, even though I haven't really lived here for a day.
Okay,
I'm leaving this study now and going back to the Duke of York, who is both my grandfather and father."
As Judia walked towards the study door,
Karun stopped her and said, "But..."
Judia stopped and turned to look at Karun, asking, "But what?"
"But I can be sure that you really wanted to eat me just now. My last name is Allen, and I'm still sitting in this study. If you consider this place as your home..."
"Those who have not awakened their ancestral bloodline are outsiders in my eyes. Other people, even if they have the surname Allen, are strangers to me. I may even feel uncomfortable with them using this surname."
"Okay, I understand.""No, you don't understand," Judia laughed, "I even doubt if you are a bewitching demon, but I can't sense any demon energy from you. However, you really made me lose myself earlier. You are a very interesting person, no, a very interesting demon."
"Is that so..."
Judia raised her finger and tapped her forehead, saying, "Even now, I can't get out of your bewitchment because I am looking forward to the day when you can take me to meet my father and let me tell him about my loneliness and grievances in person. I also want to act like a normal little girl and act coquettishly in front of my father."
"You're right, it doesn't matter whether the end of the road is right or wrong because even if what you say to me is a lie, my heart is already full of expectations."
"You said I will really have that day?"
"You will."
"Then I look forward to it."
"But you still haven't told me why you want to eat me. You can't possibly want to eat all the ordinary people surnamed Allen."
"Because you are too handsome. There are many handsome men and non-men in the palace, but I have never seen anyone more handsome than you."
"..." Karun.
"I believe many women will be attracted to you because of your appearance and fall in love with you."
"In fact, no one has."
"I do. I like you, I like your handsomeness. There are many ways to like someone, and for me, liking someone means wanting to eat them so that you can always be together."
"That's not a good habit," Karun said.
"But it's the simplest and most straightforward habit without any emotional troubles. I'm tired of watching those love dramas in the theater."
"Okay."
"In fact, I still have some regrets now because whether I eat you or not doesn't affect me putting the letter on the desk or even twisting your head off and putting the envelope in your mouth to get the attention of the family head, right?"
"Life is beautiful because of regrets."
Judia nodded at his words and asked, "Can I go now?"
"Yes, and thank you for the reminder."
"I'm just doing my job for my family. You don't need to thank me, an outsider."
Judia opened the study door, looked at Alfred standing outside, and then left with a smile.
Alfred did not stop her, but immediately walked into the study. He saw his young master standing in front of the portrait of Count Lecar, and raised his middle finger at the portrait.
"You...beast."
