Later, Ron chatted with the knights about Jonas.

"I heard that he often comes to the training ground to ask you for swordsmanship?"

Facing the lord's inquiry, everyone's hearts tightened. They all knew that Miss Melitoya might be the real illegitimate child of the previous baron. The boy named Jonas was a fake. It could be seen from Ron's attitude. Otherwise, he would not arrange for his personal maid Eileen to take care of him personally.

Benden and the others didn't understand the relationship between the people in the Baron's Mansion, so they thought it was because of Melitoa's young age that they randomly arranged a young maid to handle it.

When Ron asked this question, everyone's eyes focused on one of them. The knight was startled, stood up and said quickly: "Return to the lord, my subordinates did not teach him."

Seeing this situation, Ron also understood that Jonas did not ask all the knights for sword skills, but chose one knight with a purpose.

"He only found you?"

Malcolm, the knight, nodded bravely, "Yes, Lord."

Malcolm was very resentful towards Jonas in his heart. Why were so many knights staring at him? If the lord suspected that he had any relationship with those three people, he would be in trouble!

Ron looked at Malcolm's face and suddenly remembered the white entry of [Swordsmanship Specialization] that this knight had.

He has unique talent in swordsmanship.

As far as swordsmanship is concerned, none of the knights present can match him.

But Jonas is only 5 years old, so he can actually tell that Malcolm has the best swordsmanship?

"How many days did he come to the training ground to find you?" Ron asked curiously.

Malcolm immediately responded, "Three days!"

Only three days?

Ron was surprised and began to wonder about Jonas' character card attributes and his life experience.

What kind of environment can one stay in to develop such a vision?

"Well, you guys can continue training. I have something to take care of and I'm leaving first."

Ron learned the specific situation and did not stay any longer. Before leaving, he also asked Sigdo to see a doctor.

After all, some diseases have symptoms of hair loss before they appear, so there is nothing wrong with paying more attention.

Afterwards, Ron walked around the mansion, but he didn't meet Jonas, not even Benden or Tabitha, who played the noble lady.

He planned to go back and write entries, so he passed by the yard where potatoes were grown and walked in. There were always people guarding the place. When he saw the lord approaching, he bowed and stepped aside.

The potatoes are growing very well, and after such a long time, you can already see the sprouts sprouting from the soil.

Seeing a large field covered with potatoes, Ron was very satisfied. Having enough food to prevent the people in your territory from going hungry is only the first step in solving people's livelihood problems.

The road is long and blocked, but the journey is about to end.

As a lord, Ron, if he doesn't even think about solving this problem, then no one will do it.

Seeing that there were no problems with the potatoes planted, Ron left with peace of mind.

On the corridor of the mansion.

Diana and Joyce walked one behind the other. The former was giving out work tasks, while the latter nodded and obeyed.

Diana said: "You will tell the daily purchaser of the mansion later that I no longer buy vegetables from the original store. I have made a new choice."

Joyce was puzzled, how could he change the vegetable merchant so smoothly?

"The vegetables purchased by the Baron's Palace have always come from Lana Village, right. Why does the head maid need to change?"

Diana glanced at her, as if she was surprised by Joyce's abnormality. In the past, she would not ask.

After a moment of hesitation, Diana said: "The vegetables recently purchased from Lana Village are of varying quality and are not suitable for delivery to the Baron's Mansion. The head chef has already complained to me, and such dishes cannot be tasted by the Lord. Otherwise, it will be my dereliction of duty as the head maid!"

The head chef was also under tremendous pressure when he received the vegetables from Rana Village. However, the vegetables delivered later became worse and worse, and he had to protest to the head maid.

Joyce was silent for a moment and said: "Lana Village has been invaded by wild beasts recently. There are not many intact vegetables left, so they have all been sent to the Baron Mansion. When there is a new harvest in a while, the quality will no longer be there." Substandard vegetables.”

Diana stopped and turned to look at her, "You haven't been out of the mansion during this time. How did you know this news?"

Any maid in the mansion who wants to take leave or leave the mansion must obtain the approval of the head maid, so Diana is very aware of Joyce's movements.

Joyce said calmly: "Irene went out, she told me. Maid maid, Lana Village has sent vegetables to the Baron Mansion for so many years, and there has been no problem. At least I can be sure that they are loyal to the lord." Yours faithfully. If it were another vegetable merchant at this time, we would have no way of knowing whether this was correct."

Irene went out mostly to play with Melitoya, so how could she pay attention to this. Joyce knew all this because she learned it while handling official documents, but she could not say it clearly.

Her words made Diana think.

The two have different personalities, different births, and different perspectives on problems.

Diana was born into a wealthy businessman's family. She was strict with herself and had her own set of standards for everything. In her opinion, if the quality of vegetables is not up to standard, then she should find another one. There are many merchants selling vegetables in Arnold's territory, so there is a lot of room for choice.

Joyce, on the other hand, came from a humble background, but was familiar with the biographies of various historical figures. She knew that life was not easy, and that some people could do things that harm others for the sake of immediate profit.

And some people will stick to the bottom line and be loyal even if they endure hardships.

According to Joyce, the residents of Rana Village are undoubtedly the latter.

The villagers of Lana Village would rather risk being punished by the Baron Palace to send vegetables of poor quality instead of sending them good vegetables from other families as their own. Isn't this a sign of loyalty?

After thinking about this, Diana took a breath, looked at Joyce and said, "You convinced me."

Joyce lowered his head and apologized for his transgression.

Seeing this, Diana said: "We are all for the Lord, you don't have to be like this. If it weren't for you this time, I might have made a mistake. Thank you, Joyce."

"The head maid said something serious. In that case, I'm going to get busy first." Joyce bent slightly to complete today's cleaning work. There was still a stack of paperwork waiting for her to deal with in the study.

Sometimes she would think that she wished the lord could do something serious and not always leave things to her.

Diana looked at her leaving back with deep thought in her eyes. She looked for a while and looked back. At this moment, she noticed a figure walking past the end of the corridor. When she looked carefully, it was Jonas.

"Why is he here? That direction is the kitchen." Diana frowned and walked over quickly.

"Is this guest lost? I will take you to the lobby, please follow me." Diana had a smile on her face, but Jonas could not refuse what she said.

Jonas looked at her expressionlessly, and then followed Diana out of here.

The sun sets.

The dinner at the Baronial Palace is ready.

Hadey stayed in his workshop and did not come over. The Benden trio, who had disappeared for a day, reappeared in the restaurant.

Before starting the meal, Benden asked cautiously: "Lord, how long will it take for your trusted knight to come back?"

Ron turned to look, and Benden said quickly: "I'm not rushing you. Lord, you have many things to do. You need to manage such a large territory, and now you have to worry about our affairs."

"I have been eating and drinking in your house for so long, and I also want to contribute to the lord, otherwise I will feel guilty."

At this time, Ben Deng's face was replaced with a flattering smile, looking like a commoner who wanted to cling to the nobles.

Are you going to take action?

Ron thought for a long time and said slowly: "Mr. Benden wants to serve this lord?"

"That's right! The lord is deeply respected by us, and it is my dream honor to serve for the lord."

Benden praised Dao with all the words of praise he had ever heard in his life.

Ron pretended to think for a long time and then said: "Let's do this. I'll let my knight test your strength. Of course, I won't use all my strength. As long as you can pass the test, my lord agrees."

Hearing this, Benden was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "Lord, I have misunderstood. It is enough for me to be a waiter. Your knight is something I never dare to think about."

Unexpectedly, Ron said with a strange expression: "It takes strength to join my Baron's house as an attendant. Don't Mr. Benden know?"

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Benden was confused.

This is of course Ron's nonsense, and Benden won't have the chance to verify it anyway. This is not just a lie.

"Of course, how could I lie to Mr. Benden." Ron said firmly.

Behind him, Egbert's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly endured it.

Benden cursed in his heart. He hated the nobles because they had many and strange rules. He didn't expect that he would have to test his strength if he wanted to be an attendant. It was really disgusting!

But Benden didn’t really want to be someone else’s servant.

"Lord, I am just a commoner and have no strength. Let me think about it again." Benden said with a grimace.

"It's okay. Mr. Benden is very welcome in the Baron Mansion. He can come at any time after considering it."

Ron said nonchalantly, then looked at everyone, "Let's all start eating."

According to the rules of the nobility, the person with the highest status in the room must start eating before the others can start eating.

Ron picked up the knife and fork and was about to taste the food on the plate. Suddenly he felt a burning sensation in his chest, like a stone heating up.

His heart tightened, and when he looked down, he saw the surface of the small green crystal in the three-color pendant hanging around his neck shimmering.

green!

It's poison!

Someone had poisoned the food. For a moment, this thought flashed through Ron's mind. He looked up suddenly, and saw Melitoya holding the fork clumsily in front of him, and feeding the fried steak with her small mouth open. .

In desperation, Ron slammed the table, and the loud noise startled everyone, including Melitoya's meal movements.

Egbert felt his eyes blurred, and Ron was no longer on the seat in front of him. In his field of vision, after Ron slapped the table, he seemed to turn into lightning and crossed the long table to stand next to Melitoya.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his left hand and pinched Melitoya's small mouth; while his right hand grabbed the fork in her hand. Ron was relieved after all this was completed.

Everyone didn't know why, and their eyes focused on Ron.

Ron let go of his left hand, took the fork from Melitoya's hand, and ordered to the confused Irene: "Send her back to her room to rest."

"Yes! Lord." Irene came back to her senses and quickly ran out of the restaurant with little Meili in her arms.

Only then did everyone in the restaurant realize that something serious had happened. Egbert and Diana looked at the fork in Ron's hand that had not been put down, with a piece of fried meat skewered on it.

They looked at each other and thought of a possibility, and cold sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads.

"Lord, what happened?" Benden asked tremblingly.

Ron glanced at him and shouted in a low voice: "Abel."

With a bang, the restaurant door was knocked open, and Abel appeared with blazing eyes, "Lord, what are your orders?"

"Lock them up and interrogate them. I want to know everything they know." Ron said coldly.

With a clang, Tabitha's knife and fork slipped and fell onto the dinner plate, and a small piece of fried meat was missing.

Later, the three were taken away by Abel and other knights for interrogation.

Ron stood motionless, as if he was exuding cold air, making everyone present shiver and dare not approach.

He stared at the fork skewering meat that he took from Melitoya's hand, but the three-color pendant on his chest no longer gave off the burning sensation.

The only target is me?

While Ron was deep in thought, Diana came behind him, knelt on the ground and said, "Please punish me, Lord."

Although she didn't know how Ron discovered that the fried meat was poisoned, any problem with the food on the table was her responsibility, and no one could take responsibility for her.

"Huh! You really deserve to be punished!"

Ron's expression was cold, his eyes fell on Diana, and he raised his hand to rest on her head.

[Favorability: 67 (respect)]

With such a favorable impression, the poisoning should have nothing to do with her.

Ron took back his hand and continued: "Before punishing you, let me find out about the poisoning."

It is indeed poison!

Egbert and Diana's hearts trembled.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Diana responded. She stood up and bowed before exiting the restaurant. Her first target was the chef, not because she was suspicious, but because she was asking.

All food entering the restaurant has to pass through the head maid, so it cannot be poisoned by the head chef, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago.

It could only be that something went wrong during the transportation process. In fact, Diana had a guess in her mind.

Ron left, Egbert ordered the attendants to seal the restaurant to prevent irrelevant people from entering, and then left with Ron.

Seeing the direction Ron was going in front of him, Egbert quickly said: "Lord, leave the interrogation to Mr. Abel. You should stay in the room and rest. I will report to you as soon as I have the results."

Although Ron is a lord, he is still a 15-year-old boy. More or less unconventional methods were used during the interrogation process. Egbert was afraid of disturbing him and having a bad impact.

Ron kept walking and kept walking forward.

Egbert added: "I'm afraid what happened just now will scare Miss Melitoya. You might as well go and have a look. After all, Irene is inexperienced and can't take care of her well."

He noticed that Ron's pace slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

"Egbert, you. That's all, just don't go." How could Ron not know what Egbert was thinking, so he shook his head and walked to his room.

"Please, Lord, wait for the news."

Egbert bowed slightly and saluted, finally persuading the lord to come down. He then headed to the mansion dungeon alone.

"Mr. Egbert, are you here?"

Thomas opened the door for him respectfully, and Egbert asked as he entered, "Where is Mr. Abel?"

"Mr. Abel is interrogating Benden. I'm done here." Thomas smiled.

Egbert heard this and looked over.

Thomas explained: "The person I was interrogating was Tabitha. She was a weakling. I gave her a little scare and she was all in."

With that, he told Egbert the content of the interrogation.
