Unspeakable bubbles

An unfamiliar place, strangers, and...

He stretched out his hand in front of me; his hand was very white, but it was covered with all sorts of scars.

'This isn't my hand,' Andy thought to himself.

Coincidentally, there was a mirror not far away.

Andy stepped forward and squinted at the person in the mirror.

Without the insightful eye of Bubble, he naturally couldn't see through the illusion.

Therefore, after looking at himself in the mirror for a long time, he still saw himself as a middle-aged man with a full beard.

"..."

"Warner," Andy tentatively called out a name.

"I am here, esteemed sir," the old man stepped forward and said respectfully.

Andy looked at him, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Warner was the one who wrote that journal, and also the Marquis Carmen's butler.

Through the previous probing, Andy had gained some understanding of the situation.

If things turn out as I expect, then what I should do now is...

“Lead the way, don’t keep my darling waiting.” Andy, adopting the role of Marquis Carmen, said calmly.

"Yes, my master."

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the servants, Andy strode confidently out of the bedroom.

.................................................. ................

"My lord, it's time for your meal. Your wife and young master are waiting for you."

"..."

"My lord?" Warner asked worriedly.

"..."

"Sir, if you don't mind, please have your servant remove that inconvenient thing."

The old man glanced cautiously at his master, a sense of unease creeping into his mind.

Is the owner perhaps in a daze? Otherwise, why isn't he responding to me?

Well, actually, as your esteemed master, it doesn't matter when you answer me... But, but why are you holding that strange hat in your mouth the whole time?

Marquis Carmen, oh no, it should be Rabbit.

The plush rabbit seemed to suddenly come to its senses; it opened its mouth, and its baseball cap fell onto the bed.

Where am I?

'Where is the little master?'

'who are they?'

'The bunny is acting so strange!'

Unaware of the turmoil in his 'master's' mind, the old butler, seeing Carmen's dazed expression, couldn't help but ask with concern, "Sir, are you feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor?"

"..."

"........."

Seeing that the Marquis was staring at him without saying a word, Warner couldn't help but look down at his own attire.

"My lord, is there something wrong with me...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man saw his master suddenly leap to the ground.

He ripped open his shirt, got down on all fours, and rushed out the door like a gust of wind.

The servants were stunned. After the Marquis Carmen rushed out the door, the scene fell into dead silence.

"Quickly, quickly find the adults and bring them back."

The old steward, his voice trembling, ordered, "Quickly inform the madam, sir! Sir has fallen ill!"

Warner couldn't explain why the Marquis of Carmen would suddenly do something so inexplicable, and he could only offer the excuse that she was ill.

"Go!"

Seeing that the people around him were stunned and motionless, the old man shouted loudly.

The Marquis's mansion was in complete chaos. Everyone was stunned when they saw the Marquis running like a wild beast, followed by various exclamations and screams.

Especially a well-mannered and well-maintained lady.

She was holding her child's hand in the garden, admiring the flowers, when suddenly her husband, barely clothed, rushed past her like a wild beast.

The Marquis de' Marquis fainted on the spot, and her child cried loudly when he saw his mother collapse.

Some clever guards tried to stop their master, but they clearly underestimated the rabbit dressed as a marquis.

Rabbit has no other skills; it can't fight or talk, but it has one thing!

It runs very fast, extremely fast!

Even with all its might, Bubble couldn't catch up, let alone some well-trained guards.

After wandering around for a while, the rabbit finally came across a tall wall.

Without a second thought, it leaped lightly.

'The Taste of Freedom'

After leaving the mansion, Rabbit felt much more relaxed.

'We must find the little master quickly.'

Thinking this, Rabbit desperately tried to sense the connection between herself and the bubble.

"Separated? How could that be...?"

Rabbit discovered that her connection with her owner was weak and indistinct, as if some enormous force field was distorting their link.

The noisy sounds came from behind, and without thinking, Rabbit took off running.

"My lord, Lady Carmen!"

"Master, come back quickly!"

"My lord, please stop right now!"

Ignoring the shouts and commotion of the crowd, Rabbit had only one thought in mind: to find Bubble!

Thus, the people of the Marquisate of Carmen had the good fortune to witness their lord running around like a wild rabbit.

Marquis Carmen has gone mad!

Within days, the news spread like wildfire.

Section 146, Chapter 145, Griffin

Andy strolled down the street, followed closely by several heavily armed guards.

People walking on the street retreated upon seeing this spectacle, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the imposing lord.

'It's been three days already,' Andy thought to himself.

These past few days he has been observing more and speaking less, and while almost hypnotically immersing himself in the role, he has been thinking about what he should do.

The only clue Andy had was the notebook he found in the family treasury.

The journal, written from an observer's perspective, provides a detailed account of the legendary life of the Marquis Carmen.

His exceptional intelligence in his youth, the triumphant joy of marrying the kingdom's princess in his prime, the ecstatic happiness of having a child in his middle age, and then that desolate old age...

Now that the secret realm has truly been found, the credibility of the manuscript is beyond doubt.

Six years after the creation of the Undead Legion, the Marquisate of Carmen was practically defunct. Alone and exhausted, the Marquis of Carmen entrusted his last follower, his loyal old steward, with one last task.

'I will record my entire life in a journal, and with the key in hand, I will search for the true king, and then…'

What would happen then was not said, but that did not stop Andy from having endless fantasies.

'Then the entire undead army will follow the true king,' Andy finished the sentence in his mind.

To be honest, Andy wasn't sure he was the 'true king' he was supposed to be. Before arriving in the secret realm, he wasn't even sure if the notebook was real.

No, it's less about uncertainty and more about having no other choice.

Andy's full name is Andy Griffin, and his family is no ordinary family; they are one of the "Four Noble Families" of Thane.

At its peak, the Griffin family commanded a legendary legion, dominating the eastern part of the kingdom. Countless nobles looked up to them, and even the royal family treated them with great respect.

However, times have changed.

The Griffin family is no longer as glorious as it once was. Although it has not been removed from the list of the "Four Great Families", it is actually all show and no substance.

Let alone dominating the eastern part of the kingdom, if it weren't for the strong support from the royal family in recent years, the family would probably lose all face.

As the first heir of the family, Andy used to ponder a question whenever he tossed and turned at night: How did the family fall to this state?

Are all the family heads incompetent and have squandered their vast fortune?

That's not the case. Although some mediocre people occasionally hold power in the Griffin family, most of those in power are still above average in terms of political acumen.

Is it the royal family's suppression, an attempt to eliminate a major threat?

That was the case at first, but when the family's decline began to appear, the royal family changed its policy.

Is it inevitable that the "Four Noble Families" will eventually withdraw from the historical stage?

That's not it! That's not how it is at all!

Apart from the Griffin family, the other three major families still stand at the top of the pyramid, their power remaining as strong as ever.

So... that must be the reason.
