Unspeakable bubbles

"Why have all of the Marquis's personal guards, my old comrades, been withdrawn?"

Upon hearing this, a guard immediately shouted sternly, "How dare you! Who gave you the right to interrupt in such a matter?"

"Robin, there's a reason for this."

The old steward felt bitter; transferring the master's personal guards was a last resort.

If those loyal, single-minded guys found out that the master was possessed by a demon, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

Seeing the tense situation, the old man quickly advised, "Hurry up and throw down your sword! Don't you think things have gotten serious enough?"

"Then tell me why!"

Robin said in a deep voice, "My brothers risked their lives to get me here, madam, please answer me, why?"

"Why doesn't the Marquis recognize me?!"

Section 149, Chapter 148: Poisoning

'It's not just you; he didn't even recognize me or the child.'

The Marchioness was heartbroken, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Carmen has contracted a strange illness and doesn't recognize anyone anymore."

"Robin, considering your loyalty, I can let this matter go. Put down your weapon and don't frighten my beloved any further."

"A strange illness? The adult has always been healthy, how could he suddenly get sick?"

Robin glanced at his master and their eyes met those of the 'Marquis Carmen'.

He was clearly a middle-aged man with a stubble beard, but his eyes held an innocent look.

Remembering his childish tone from before, Robin felt a pang of pain in his heart.

This isn't some strange illness that makes him forget everyone; he's clearly been poisoned into a daze by that wicked woman!

"Madam! No, Your Highness!"

Robin glared at the Marchioness through gritted teeth: "Has the master's decades of devoted love still failed to win His Highness's heart over Carmen?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

"...Those letters, those private correspondence between His Highness and the royal family, Master knew about them all. But Master never said much about them; Master was devoted to you wholeheartedly!"

At this point, Robin was already sobbing uncontrollably.

The bedroom was deathly silent, and many guards couldn't help but look at the mistress with strange eyes.

The old butler was no exception; his mind was now in complete chaos.

Because the mistress and the master had always been loving, Warner never considered that possibility after the master's accident.

But, compared to the master being possessed by a demon, isn't there a bigger possibility?

"What nonsense!"

The Marchioness was trembling with anger. She had occasional contact with the royal family and had indeed done some less-than-honorable things.

But that's ancient history!

Since giving birth, her heart has been devoted to this family.

Drugging her darling? She never even considered it!

"You, Robin, I was even hoping to show leniency."

"What are you waiting for? Take him down now!"

Compared to the legitimate Marquises and the princess of the kingdom, Robin, as the captain of the personal guard, was ultimately a nobody.

Although everyone had their doubts, no one dared to openly disobey the lady's orders at this moment.

"You ungrateful bastards!"

Overwhelmed with grief, Robin did everything in his power to fight his way out for the Marquis.

But two fists are no match for four hands. Under the siege of the guards, Robin was bleeding profusely.

Gradually, he felt his vision darken and his strength in swinging the sword diminished.

"Hey!" A guard seized the opportunity, shouted, and used his shield to deflect Robin's sword.

He watched helplessly as his weapon was knocked away, but he couldn't muster any strength in his hands.

Robin sighed and closed his eyes to await his death.

"Don't bully people!"

In the critical moment, Bubble rushed forward and punched the guard in front of Robin, sending him flying.

"S-lord?"

"Those who bully others are bad guys." Bubble was furious.

Although this uncle named Robin kept saying strange things, you still shouldn't beat him up like this.

"Bubble is leaving. Bubble doesn't want to stay in the bad guy's house."

The little girl lifted Robin with one hand and swung the large bed around wildly with the other.

Bubble's attacks were haphazard, but her strength was extraordinary, and combined with the size of the bed, she quickly gained the upper hand.

"My Lord Marquis, Lord Marquis, please stop."

The guards, of course, dared not lay a hand on their master, and out of fear of harming him, they were actually able to break through the encirclement by the little girl.

Run!

Bubble rushed to the bedroom door and threw the bed behind her.

Despite carrying a person, the little girl ran very fast.

Before long, she had shaken off the guards' pursuit.

"Lady Carmen"

"I am Bubble!"

"...My lord, please turn the corner up ahead! I know a place where you can find reinforcements!"

"reinforcement?"

“That’s right. With their help, we can definitely thwart the lady’s plot.”

"Can we teach those bad guys a lesson?" Bubble asked as it ran.

"Absolutely no problem!"

"Okay, let's go."

Guided by Robin, Bubble wandered around and eventually arrived at Marquis Carmen's study.

Shouts from guards could be heard from outside the study from time to time. Bubble could have escaped, but she was spotted by many people on her way back, and many soldiers were rushing towards the study.

Now that things have come to this, if Robin can't conjure up some 'saviors' in the empty study, Bubble will probably have to fight his way out once again.

"Sir, please come with me."

Robin struggled to jump to the ground and walked familiarly to the third row of bookshelves. "You didn't even tell the lady about this secret passage, except for me and a few old brothers in the royal guard."

He opened a book, but instead of pages, there was a handle.

"My lord, come with me!"

The secret passage opened, and Robin rushed down first.

Bubble went down the long spiral staircase very quickly, but she still hadn't reached the end after walking for quite a while.

The little girl estimated that she was now very deep underground.

After walking for a while, Bubble saw a purple light in the distance.

She ran over and immediately saw a large pool filled with a strange purple liquid that was also glowing.

"grown ups!"

Bubble looked up when she heard this, but she was quickly drawn to the dense skeletons behind Robin.

The not-so-large space was filled with skeletons devoid of flesh and blood, all silently staring at Bubble.

"Oh"

The little girl wasn't scared. She counted carefully and found there were 133 skeletons in total.

"Brothers, that princess has gone mad and poisoned you, sir! The situation is extremely critical. The traitors are sharpening their knives. Only you can help Lady Carmen!"

The skeletons stirred in response to Robin's urgent call.

They were originally among the most loyal members of the royal guard. To protect their loved ones and fight against the 'Black Tide' mentioned by the Marquis, they willingly transformed themselves into this form without any regrets.

But, but now the lady has poisoned the marquis?

Even after becoming skeletons, they retain their former intelligence.

My first reaction upon hearing this news was disbelief.

How could the lady and the marquis, who have been in love for so many years, do such a thing?

Besides, poisoning? The Marquis is standing right there, perfectly fine.

Several skeletons surrounded Robin. They wanted to say something, but having lost their vocal cords, they could only make crackling sounds.

Several more skeletons walked towards Bubble, hovering around her as if observing whether this 'Lady Carmen' was an imposter.

"Hello, I'm Bubble!"

The little girl mustered her courage and tapped the skeleton in front of her with her finger. "You guys look so strange, but Bubble isn't afraid. There are bad guys chasing Bubble outside. Can you help me?"

A hush fell over the crowd, and all the skeletons stopped moving.

The Marquis is indeed a Marquis; they know their master so well that they confirmed it in just a moment.

But, but how did my parents become like this!

Poisoning—at this moment, they finally understood the meaning of poisoning.
