Do you all know the future?

Chapter 50 Cult Ritual
The slight bump in the carriage was like an earthquake that shook the mountains. Diane looked so openly that the mature lady had to hold herself up so as not to look so lewd.

"What were you guys mumbling about just now?"

Isabella really wanted to ask, what do you want to do in front of your son?
But thinking of Diane's bold actions before, Isabella was afraid that he would say that he wanted to kiss her and touch her. How should she respond?

In front of her son, Isabella felt so embarrassed that she simply changed the subject.

"I just feel shocked that Duke Ryan accepted me so easily."

Diane is now recalling the feeling of Isabella. It is different from the pure love of a maid. It is a kind of thrill of stealing someone's things.

"What's there to be shocked about? Anyway, he agreed, so just accept it. I don't think you have any intention of rejecting it."

The tip of her high heels gently touched Diane. If her son hadn't been beside her, Isabella would have shown an angry expression.

She still remembered clearly the nonsense Diane said in the warehouse.

"Teacher, your husband has already agreed, so just go along with it."

"I'm the teacher's little lover, so let me..."

She was almost persuaded by him several times, but fortunately her sense of shame allowed her to protect her last bottom line.

"It just feels strange. Who would be willing to sacrifice their wife?"

Diane didn't quite understand what the real turtles were thinking. Duke Ryan was a cultist and must be doing this for some purpose. He knew the reason and pretended to be confused.

"He didn't want to either. It was because I spoiled you too much. There were some cracks in our relationship to begin with, but you took advantage of every opportunity. Now it's good, you succeeded."

The high heels stepped gently on Diane's feet. The moment she concealed Diane's identity from her husband, she felt that she had cheated.

"Don't you think it's strange that it's suddenly acceptable now? Teacher, don't you think Duke Ryan started to become different?"

Diane slowly laid the groundwork, wanting to reveal the truth to Isabella. One reason was that the intimate test in the warehouse created an impulsive atmosphere, and another reason was that Diane tested the effect of the holy blood, making it easier for her to tell Isabella the truth later.

After the test, the results are significant, so we can reveal some truths to Isabella.

"Indeed, ever since he became an angel-level powerhouse, there seems to have been a gap between us. I don't know why..."

Unconsciously rubbing Diane's calf with her high heels, Isabella recalled the reason for the estrangement between her and Duke Ryan.

"Forget it. He's already given in anyway. Even your child wants to stay in the Stuart family. It's already a compromise. Don't think too much about it."

When talking about the child, Isabella's face suddenly turned red, and her legs gently clamped Diane's calves. It was also because of Duke Ryan's indulgence that Isabella silently accepted Diane, otherwise she would have been entangled.

Isabella felt her face getting hot when she thought about giving birth to a child for Diane, who might inherit Diane's holy blood. How could it turn out like this?

She felt that she had misjudged Diane, as she had originally thought she was a herbivore, but unexpectedly she wanted to eat meat.

"No, I mean, don't you think Duke Ryan..."

"Okay, stop talking. The carriage is a bit crowded. I'm going to go outside and see if there are any cultists ambushing us."

Isabella didn't want to discuss this issue with Diane. Diane pushed her into a corner step by step. She had clearly made her choice, but she still felt ashamed when she was asked to express it clearly.

She felt that Diane was just being overly demanding and wanted her to make it clear that the person she liked was Diane, and to say it in front of her son, so Isabella chose to avoid her.

"mom!"

Roland wanted to stop her, but there was no way. Isabella had already turned into blood mist and flew away.

"Did she misunderstand something?"

Diane's expression, which was about to become serious, could no longer be maintained. While they were discussing business, Isabella ran away.

"I thought Lord An was going to say something embarrassing. Mom is even more shy today than yesterday. Lord An, what did you do?"

It was also the first time that Loran saw her mother so panicked. It was even more exaggerated than when she kissed Diane last night, which subverted her previous image. She really felt that Diane was worthy of being her mother's nemesis.

"Forget it, I'll tell her alone tomorrow when we're at school!"

Diane shook her head and naturally would not answer Roland's question. Should she tell him that she had done everything except the three calls?

"Tomorrow? Think about today first. My wicked dad might be planning something bad right now!"

Luo Lan suffered so much in his previous life that he is very cautious in this life.

"We've analyzed it, and he probably wants to change our relationship with us, make you let your guard down, and then find an excuse to get you by his side."

Diane was reviewing what she had done with the maid last night. This was the only reason that could make the contemptuous Duke Ryan change.

"Too insidious! If I hadn't been reborn, I might have fallen into his trap again. But now, no matter how much he tries to please me, I won't trust him."

Loran had the same idea, and when Diane saw it, he suddenly felt that his guess was correct.

"Well, wait a few days for the detection to be completed. Once we find the manipulator through the sea monster's life bead, your father will be finished. We'll just have to deal with him for the next few days."

Roland's awareness is more resolute than Diane's. Diane is not worried about him at all. Duke Ryan wants to lie low for a while, and Diane doesn't want to provoke him.

"What if the life bead is fake? I don't have any impression of that little mermaid in my previous life."

Loran doesn't doubt Diane, but he suspects there's something wrong with the life bead, and the plot becomes something he doesn't recognize at all.

"I don't know what it is, but there was no mention of a sea monster during the new ship's sea trials. As for the Life Pearl locating the controller, that would be great, but if it doesn't, that's no problem. Once I talk to your mother, I can lure him into the trap."

Diane really wanted to kill Duke Ryan as soon as possible, but the conditions were there and it was not easy to bring the other party down.

Today it was Loran who was here, and Isabella ran away shyly. Diane thought about telling Isabella when they were alone together the next day or the day after tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll warm up Lord An tonight. Just treat my father as a dying man and don't pay too much attention to him!"

Loran is as filial as ever, and Diane is actually a little used to it now.

"I should be telling you this. Show less hostility towards your father. If he notices something and feels he has no chance, he might take a risk."

Diane warned Roland that he had discovered that Roland was impulsive and had a bad temper, and that he had not changed in his two lifetimes.

"Little Daddy... I will listen to Lord An's words. I promise not to make any mistakes. We are home now. Lord An, you can treat this place as your own home."

Luo Lan touched his chest and lowered his head to promise. He had suffered enough from being disobedient. In these two lives, Luo Lan learned to be obedient.

"My house isn't that big!"

Diane looked at the castle outside, still not quite understanding the reason for Duke Ryan's fall. No matter what the evil god's call was, with a big house, a beautiful wife, and a talented son, what else could he not be satisfied with?

"It's too old and not warm at all. I like Lord An's house. A fireplace makes the house warm, and people's hearts are warm too."

Roland said it sincerely, he really believed it, because he was too sincere, Diane didn't know what to say.

"You stay outside. Lord Loran, please tell the chef to make some snacks for them." Diane instructed the maid and the little mermaid. The maid could be brought in, but the little mermaid could not be brought in. Diane was afraid that the little mermaid would be scared alone, so she asked the maid to stay and bring her into the house. The maid could not eat and could only watch Diane and the others eat.

In this case, Diane should let them stay outside. At least they can have dinner without being restrained.

"I'll arrange it, Lord An, don't worry!"

Roland greeted the little mermaid with a smile, but the little mermaid hid in the maid's arms and didn't look at him.

"Master, go ahead. Don't be afraid. Just follow your heart."

With one hand, she held down the little girl who was hugging her thigh, and with the other hand, she straightened Dai An's straight collar and gently instructed him.

"What are you afraid of? Duke Ryan's attitude is quite good now..."

"Is mom waiting for us at the door? We're only a few steps away and I don't know why she's in such a hurry."

Luo Lan looked at his mother standing dignifiedly at the door at the end of the trail and complained.

When Diane heard what Roland said, she glanced at Isabella who was standing at the door, lifted the maid's hand and kissed the back of it, then turned and left.

"Wouldn't you like to spend some time with the maid?"

From Diane's skillful movements towards her, Isabella knew that Diane was not an ignorant person. Looking at his movements with the maid, she understood something.

The followers of the maid Queen Greta, just like his own affection for Diane, partly come from Queen Greta. Now that it has become like this, it is normal for the maid to become a little corrupted in protecting Diane.

"No need. We're together every day. She's just a little worried that I'm not around."

Diane didn't take it seriously. The maid had told him this every day when she went to tutoring classes, and he was used to it.

"What a devoted and loyal maid! Let's go inside!"

Isabella took Diane's hand, not pulling it, but interlocking their fingers, and brought Diane into the house amid the servants' astonished gazes. This was her purpose in waiting for Diane, to let them know that they had a new master.

"Teacher, let me go!"

Diane saw the servants' interesting expressions and asked them to stop, but Isabella kept her hands tightly fastened.

"A teacher's sweetheart is afraid of this?"

"No, if Duke Ryan saw it..."

"what did you see?"

Duke Ryan's rough voice came, and his eyes stayed on Diane and Isabella's interlocked hands.

"Be generous, hold your head high. You should be proud. You've won the most unattainable wife in Tudor. You should be proud in front of her husband. This shows that you are more charming than me."

Duke Ryan patted Diane on the shoulder and encouraged him to be more natural. He had done something beautiful that Tudor men would never dream of, and he should be proud of it.

"Ok!"

It's so weird, so weird.

Diane couldn't help but hold Isabella's hand tighter. Even single men wouldn't get this treatment.

"Be a man, you slept with my wife, what are you afraid of? Why are you afraid and still sleeping with her?"

Duke Ryan showed a dissatisfied expression, frowned at Diane, and pinched Diane's arm slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm asleep. Duke Ryan, you can't eat me. It's just that your attitude has left me at a loss!"

Diane looked directly at Duke Ryan, this man who was as ferocious as a wolf king, and raised his voice, which was awesome!

"Haha, that's right. I don't want Isabella to fall in love with a coward. I can't stand that!"

Duke Ryan laughed heartily, and Diane felt as if her shoulders were about to be broken by him. Judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he was taking revenge on her personally.

"That's right. If you sleep with her, then sleep with her. If you rob her, then rob her. If her husband is unhappy, then fight him. If you can't win, then use someone else's knife to kill him. If you set her up, don't be timid after sleeping with someone else's wife. That's a coward!"

Duke Ryan shared his experience with approval and loosened his hand that was pinching Diane's arm. Diane didn't know what to say for a moment, especially when she knew that the other party was a cultist. Was he encouraging her to kill him?

"Stop talking so much nonsense. Aren't you afraid that he will do this to you?"

Pulling Diane into his arms and gently rubbing Diane's shoulders, Isabella couldn't help herself as she watched the interaction between the two and heard her husband's instructions.

"I've already acknowledged your relationship, how could he harm me? Isabella, you wouldn't fall in love with such a toxic person, right?"

"Let's go, dinner is ready, make this place your own."

Duke Ryan walked into the restaurant and said something so generous that if Diane didn't know his true identity, her favorability towards him would definitely increase greatly, and she might even feel ashamed.

Diane followed and the plating was as sumptuous as at Peifei's house, with various spiritual dishes made from creatures from various spiritual realms.

Duke Ryan sat in the main seat, Loran sat on one side, Diane and Isabella sat opposite him, and Isabella held Diane's hand and placed it on the dining seat.

"I was able to escape death this time thanks to you, Madam. If you hadn't risked your life to rescue me, I would have been discovered and sniped by the cultists first."

Duke Lane said affectionately, raising his glass in a toast to Isabella.

"This is how it should be between husband and wife. I'm also at fault for hiding some things from you, but let's leave it at that for now."

Isabella also drank a glass of wine, looked at Duke Ryan and then at Diane, and the knife and fork automatically cut the meat. She elegantly held the piece of meat and delivered it to Diane's mouth.

"Yes, a husband and wife should help each other when they are in trouble. I am currently in trouble and I also need your help, Madam!"

Duke Ryan also ate, but his movements were much rougher.

"I knew you had something to do, otherwise why would you suddenly invite me and my lover, even if you admit our relationship!"

Isabella was not surprised, or rather she had expected it. She lazily picked up the meat on the plate, and Diane took a bite while she held Diane's hand tightly.

Diane didn't understand and felt constrained, but in Ryan's eyes, this meant that there was no way back to the past, as Isabella's partner was now Diane.

"Something's really wrong. I'm going to die. If I don't save myself I'm going to die!"

"Ok?"

"If you're willing to sacrifice yourself to save me once, you can sacrifice yourself to save me a second time."

"what are you saying?"

"Would you all become food for the gods, and help me ascend to demigodhood?"

Lines of a magic circle appeared in the restaurant, and evil energy gathered.
