Arnos Fred stood up excitedly and looked at Nok in surprise.
"Sit down, sit down. I told you to calm down. Can you please stop being startled?"
Nok stood up and held Anos' shoulders, asking him to sit down.
The two sat down face to face again, and Anos couldn't wait to ask.
"Where is my child? How did you know? You didn't lie to me?"
Seeing Anos who no longer had the intention to kill, Nok finally let go of his worries.
"I told you not to be anxious, just listen to me slowly. Now that I have spoken, I can't hide it from you, so don't be impatient."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry, just tell me quickly."
Anos, who said he was not in a hurry but still urged, made Ryan feel helpless and amused.
"The thing is like this, there is a woman who was pregnant with your child, but it didn't last long and the fetus is not stable yet. No one else knows about this except her and me for the time being. I also told her not to do anything these days. Go out. But I definitely can’t hide this from her parents, so I was worried about how to tell you, but I didn’t expect that something like this would happen today. "
Anos looked unhappy when he heard Nok mention today's events again.
"Ryan, talk about my child properly, why are you bringing it up again?"
Nok shook his head and said, "No, this is a thing for you."
"What do you mean?"
Anos looked at Nok in confusion.
Nok asked seriously: "Let me ask you, your wife, how do you plan to deal with it. Or rather, how can you deal with it?"
"This..." Anos was stunned. If he was angry just now, he would definitely say that Fastia would be killed.
But when he calmed down, he knew that he couldn't do it.
He even wanted to take Fastia back as if nothing had happened and continue to be his wife.
At most, find time to abort the child in her belly.
Anos didn't answer, and Nok answered directly for him.
"You definitely can't kill her or imprison her. She is a member of the Lyman family. Although she is a collateral member, she is not something that you, a viscount with no background, can handle."
"So, your best option is to pretend that nothing happened, and then let her abort the child, or put her under house arrest for a while. Isn't that right?"
"..." Anos looked embarrassed and was unwilling to answer Nok's words.
But Nok smiled and said: "What if I have a third choice for you?"
"What choice!" Anos looked up at Nok.
Nok raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Let her give birth to the child."
"Impossible!" Anos shouted loudly.
"Shh! Calm down! Can't you just listen to what I have to say!" Nok raised his finger to his mouth to signal Anos to calm down.
Anos could only lower his voice unwillingly and continued to object: "No matter what, I can't let that bastard be born! Otherwise, I will be a joke to the entire Fran Kingdom!"
Nok shook his head and said with a smile: "But what if the one born is your biological son?"
Anos was confused: "What are you talking about?"
"My dear Fred, I admit that the relationship between us is not as close as outsiders think. But you have to know that after two years of getting along, we can at least be considered friends.
Leo and I still want to live under your protection. There is no need or reason to harm you. So, please listen carefully to what I am about to say next. Don't interrupt me, and don't yell. Otherwise, if you leak something to the outside world, it will be a disaster for you and me. Understand? "
Nok's serious attitude made Anos feel the seriousness of the matter.
He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. Then he looked at Nok and nodded: "Come on, I will restrain myself."
Seeing Anos's attitude and knowing that he finally valued this conversation, Nok finally threw away his last bargaining chip.
"I said before that there is a woman who is pregnant with your child. You probably have a rough guess about who that woman is. Yes, it is Helen from the hotel, that young girl."
"It is indeed her!" Anos' eyes flashed with realization.
"After she found out she was pregnant, she was panicked, helpless, and hesitant. In the end, she couldn't bear the pressure and told all her sins in the confessional."
"I heard her fear and worry. I was afraid that she would want to do something random, so I could only violate the church's rules, so I talked to her personally. I promised to find a reasonable way to deal with it for her and protect her and the child."
"After all, she is a young girl who gave birth to a child out of wedlock. If exposed, she will be executed."
"As for telling you, what can you do? The most you can do is raise her as a mistress, and her son is nothing more than an illegitimate child."
"Her parents are just ordinary farmers and would never agree."
"But things are different now. Your wife is also pregnant. So, this is an opportunity. An opportunity to make your illegitimate child your heir."
"Don't say you don't want to. Do you still care whether your son is an illegitimate child?"
"You are not young anymore. You don't have any heirs yet. I guess it must have something to do with your domineering wife."
"Once you back down this time, unless you can make your wife pregnant with your child, you will never have a chance to have a child of your own in this life! I don't believe you haven't favored other women before. So, the answer It’s obvious.”
"As soon as you go back, make a big announcement that your wife is pregnant with your child, and then put her under house arrest until she gives birth. Then, your wife will die in childbirth, leaving your child behind."
"Presumably, the Lyman family won't be able to cause trouble to you because of this, right?"
"Keep your child close to you and don't let outsiders have the chance to see it."
"In this way, when Helen gives birth to the child, you take your own son back, and then secretly dispose of that evil son. In this way, everyone will think that your illegitimate son is your eldest son."
"After a while, you hire Helen as a wet nurse to take care of your children. Who else can be more attentive than her?"
"With your eldest son, for the sake of the child, will the Lyman family still cause trouble for you?"
"Of course, there is another unstable factor here, that is, whether Helen can give birth to a son. But it is not a big problem. Even if it is a daughter, you can still use her to cover up today's stains."
"After your wife and scoundrel are dealt with, even if your first child is a daughter, it is impossible for the Lyman family to disown her. With her, the Lyman family's mouth will be blocked. Who can stop you from continuing to marry a wife and have children? ?”
"At worst, when Helen takes care of your children, you and she should work harder and have more children. Illegitimate children are also sons, so they are better than no sons at all, right?"
Nok's words were like enlightenment, making Anos feel refreshed.
The pressure from the Lyman family seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
He already had a faint murderous intention towards Fastia outside.
Fortunately, Nok reminded him in time.
"Don't be happy too early. There are two most important things now."
"One, how do you convince Helen's parents to accept their daughter as your child."
"Two, find a way to stabilize your wife and make her willingly give birth to the evil child."
“Only by completing these two points can the plan be implemented smoothly.”
This time, Anos was in trouble.
First, he might still be able to do it.
At worst, give Helen's parents a sum of money to shut them up. If that doesn't work, threaten them or send them away.
If that doesn't work, I'll secretly kill the two old guys. Anyway, all he needs is the child, and he doesn't even care about Helen's life or death.
It's just a woman, and he favors her much more. It’s just that each of them was killed by Fastia after getting pregnant.
That's why he hated this woman and didn't even want to touch her.
Finally, in order to get promoted, Anos endured his nausea and planned to have a child with this woman, but the woman refused to let him touch her.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be pregnant with someone else's evil seed!
"Ryan, stop beating around the bush, you must have a solution!"
Anos couldn't think of a way and could only turn to Nok for help.
It's not that he can't find anyone to help him with advice.
But he felt that Ryan was right, not too many people knew about this matter.
Best, there is only one person who knows, and that is himself!
He has decided that after the matter is completed, he must find an opportunity to kill Ryan.
Helen, that old man, kill them all!
Only the dead can keep secrets!
"Huh? What is this guy doing? He actually has murderous intention towards me again!"
Nok glanced at Anos suspiciously, wondering why Anos was hostile to him again.
Just one more thing to mention here. Ever since Nook Lane had initially mastered the mysterious piece of silk, he had been sensitive to the malicious intent directed at him.
This is why he can pick out people who harbor ill will toward him from the crowd.
Nok didn't think much about it. Anos' murderous intention was just fleeting, saying that he would not target Nok now.
Since there is no trouble in front of him, Nok naturally does not need to guard against the other party.
Nok smiled conspiratorially and said, "I have an idea, but you may not be willing to listen."
"Say." Anos looked at Nok calmly.
After the initial impulse, Anos calmed down and returned to what a noble should be.
Nok didn't hold back and expressed his thoughts directly.
"The first point is to find someone to be Helen's 'lover'. This candidate happens to be on site. It's quite suitable."
"who?"
"Kahn."
"Huh?" Anos looked at Nok in surprise, not understanding what he was doing.
Kahn explained: "Kahn sullied the girl's innocence through coaxing. When I saw through it, I was afraid of leaking it, so I bribed people, and took advantage of the opportunity when the Viscountess came to pray for her child to try to assassinate me. Kahn's assassination failed. He became so angry that he killed Sean, the old village chief, who tried to stop him. It was a heinous crime, and the Viscount executed Kahn in accordance with the law."
"But the child is innocent, so the Viscount pronounced the verdict and asked the village chief Ron to take Anna home to take care of her. After all, it is his brother's child."
"After the child was born, he unfortunately died due to congenital frailty and was hastily buried. The Viscount felt the same way. It happened that the Viscount's wife passed away in childbirth, leaving a child without anyone to take care of him, so he hired Anna, who had lost the child, to be a wet nurse for his child."
"Do you think there is a problem with this plan? With today's incident as a basis, Ron will not dare to go against your decision. Besides, if you execute Kahn, then Anna will insist that the child is Kahn's, even if Ron doesn't believe it It doesn’t work either.”
"When the child is born, even if Ron knows the truth, will he dare to tell it?"
Anos looked at the talkative Nok in surprise, and for the first time his impression of him was overturned.
"How to solve the second point?"
"Second point? This one is easier."
"You go out and execute the two prisoners with thunder, then bring your wife in and threaten her with words."
"For example, in order not to embarrass you or the Lehman family, you want your wife to raise the baby in peace and contentment, and claim that the child in her belly is yours. You promise, as long as she doesn't let you She has become a joke in the aristocratic circle. From now on, she can live with her children and do whatever she wants. However, she can no longer interfere with your private life. Otherwise, you will break up with her and publicize her secret pregnancy. Get out. Let’s see who is more embarrassed, you or the Lyman family.”
"I believe what you said, she will not doubt it. For the sake of her wealthy life, she will definitely cooperate with you."
"Back in the castle, you find a place with few people to put her under house arrest, and arrange for your confidants to take care of her. You also need to neglect her."
"This way, she will definitely no longer doubt your purpose."
"As long as the time is right, you will act as planned, and when the time comes, everything will go as planned."
"So, today's trouble is solved, and the thorn in your heart is removed. The best of both worlds, do you feel satisfied?"
Nok's words made Anos afraid from the bottom of his heart.
He watched Nok remain silent for a long time, wondering how he had ignored Father Ryan's dangerous mission for so many years.
This guy has a darker heart than those priests who are desperate for money!
No, if you do it yourself, you will be in the hands of the other party.
But if you don’t follow these instructions, you’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He gritted his teeth, slapped the table and stood up.
"Okay! Do as you say!"
But Anos was thinking in his heart: When I become stronger, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill you!
