Unspeakable bubbles

William originally wanted Kelly's children to stay with him so that he could raise them properly.

However, if this trend continues, Kelly and his entire family might die mysteriously in their own home one day.

It seemed William had been silent for too long, because the dim-witted general spoke up again: "Your Grace, is it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, William smashed the teacup in front of him onto the ground.

"Get them out!"

William roared, "From this day forward, I don't want to hear anything about Kelly!"

"It's all because of him that the Boyle family is in such a passive position now!"

Thorne opened his mouth to speak, but saw the Duke's sharp gaze sweep over him.

"Alas, His Highness the Duke is in a bad mood right now. I'll try to persuade him again in a few days."

'Marshal Kelly and his family are a widow and her children; how will they survive if they are driven out of the territory?'

William hadn't finished venting his anger when his steward, whom he had been assigned to the Yog territory, walked in from outside.

'Can't you see I'm angry? Why is he walking in at this time?'

This steward is extremely loyal and always acts with discretion.

Because of this, I trust him completely.

This time, however, Sander's performance disappointed William.

"Sander, who let you in?"

William looked coldly at his butler, and was about to say something reprimanding him when he saw him suddenly kneel down.

"Sir, Sander has failed your trust!"

"..."

"What happened? Get up and tell me!"

William was filled with doubt. The task he had entrusted to his steward was not difficult; it was simply a matter of confirming the date of the formal visit with the count.

With this, what other problems could arise?

Sand did not stand up; he knelt on the ground and recounted his experiences in the Yogtis in a very calm tone.

Soon, not only William, but all the generals present turned ashen-faced.

After Sander finished speaking, William said incredulously, "Countess Yog, how could she, how could she do such a thing?"

That shouldn't be happening!

We are all nobles of the Saen family, and I have no grudge against her. Why would she do this?

"master!"

Sander finally couldn't hold back anymore, and his voice trembled with tears.

“Countess Yog doesn’t respect you at all, sir. She’s deliberately trying to humiliate the Boyle family!”

Section 500, Page 499: Suspicion over a person

"Patriarch, we must teach the Yog family a lesson!"

Even the strongest individuals cannot provoke the Boyle family!

“Your Grace, if we don’t teach Yogtis a lesson right away, more and more nobles in the south will start to disregard us.”

"Master, just give the word, and we'll lead our troops out immediately!"

William's face was grim; he was furious, but he hadn't lost his temper.

It's one thing to listen to these military commanders, but to send troops to attack Yugoslavia just because a steward was insulted? That's impossible!

Moreover, William found the whole thing very strange.

He believed in Sander's loyalty, but...

'Perhaps there's some misunderstanding here?'

'This is too illogical; I can't act rashly.'

With that in mind, William ignored the clamoring officers and personally stepped forward to help Sander up.

"Oh, you've suffered."

William patted him on the shoulder: "Sander, you did a great job!"

With just two simple sentences, the old butler was immediately moved to tears.

"Master, I... I have disgraced you."

"What nonsense! You've done a good job of preserving the Boyle family's reputation. However, the Yog family has really gone too far this time. I will make sure Earl Yog gives you an explanation!"

"Homeowner..."

Sander's tears flowed instantly. At that moment, he felt that he would not mind giving his life for the Duke.

The Blue Wing Army generals present were all seasoned veterans, and they quickly discerned a different meaning in William's words.

'The Boyle family's reputation has been preserved... does that mean this won't escalate to the family level?'

'His Grace doesn't want to fall out with Earl Yog, does he? He's an incredibly powerful figure.'

'Sigh, at most Sander will get a verbal apology from the Yog family; forget about anything else.'

"Sander, come on, I'll take you downstairs to rest."

William led Sander out the door, completely ignoring the generals who were still clamoring for revenge.

“Sir, Sander is not tired at all and does not need to rest.”

The butler rubbed his eyes: "Ah, Sander has been gone for so long. Is there anything at the manor that Sander needs to handle immediately?"

"..."

William had a sudden thought. He had intended to entrust the matter of settling Kelly's family to Sander, but the words lingered on his lips before he swallowed them back.

Well, I entrusted Sander with a task that was a sure thing, but he failed to do it well.

Perhaps this is not a matter of his ability, but rather due to some other objective reason.

However, when William wanted to entrust another important matter to the butler, he unconsciously hesitated.

William Boyle wasn't short of capable subordinates, so why would he entrust such an important task to someone who had "messed up"?

“Sander, now that you’re gone, the servants are still very attentive, but I always feel like something’s not quite right.”

"Master, your steward has returned. I'll make the necessary arrangements immediately!"

"Yes, go ahead, go ahead."

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

"Bunny, catch!"

On the lawn, the little girl excitedly tossed a plastic flying saucer into the sky.

The plastic flying saucer flew in the air for a while, and just as it was about to fall to the ground, a small white creature caught it in its mouth.

"The bunny is so awesome!"

"As expected of the Earl's rabbit, it can do things that only other people's puppies can do."

"Catch one more, and we'll have an extra meal tonight!" The maids discussed happily.

"...Why is the head maid standing there motionless? Has she fainted from the sun?"

"Don't talk nonsense, or your workload will double this week!"

“But, but she’s standing there without moving.”

"How could someone who's sunburned still be standing?"

"Why not!"

"Speaking of which, the head maid's presence suddenly became much stronger after she started wearing an armband."

A maid changed the subject, quietly pointing to the armband Anne was wearing that read 'Maid Leader' in large characters.

"Ever since she started wearing the maid armband, everyone has noticed her immediately."

"I heard this was the Earl's idea!"

"Really?"

"You're not allowed to gossip about the head of the family behind his back, maid~"

The sudden appearance of the divine voice startled the maids, and Anne's subsequent words made them even more distressed.

"Go back to work, everyone. Clean the kitchen again today."

"Eh..."

"The lawn also needs to be trimmed."

"Ah, let's go right away!"

Fearing that they would miss dinner if they delayed any longer, the maids vanished in a flash.

Annie shook her head, looking at the little girl playing happily with the bunny, her heart filled with conflict.

Should I tell the master or not?

Anne's dilemma was simply about Carmen's rude treatment of Duke William's envoy.

Normally, she would have told her master immediately about something that could cause a conflict between the two families.

However, Carmen happens to be the person personally appointed by the master, specifically responsible for handling matters concerning the Boyle family.

Anne doesn't mind being labeled a tattletale; what worries her is whether revealing Carmen's actions might disrupt his plans.

She could tell that Carmen was doing that to deliberately provoke the butler, but...

'Is it really okay for Carmen to make such an important decision all by herself without her master knowing anything about it?'
