Hei Tianping immediately stepped forward and covered the little maid's mouth. Bai Gong and Hong Dao pushed out the door and checked the situation outside the door. After a while, Bai Gong made a "yes" gesture inside, and Hei Tianping put down his hand.

The Count of Ile de France pretended to be innocent and drank the tea from the teacup.

"What the hell happened?" he hiccupped and asked slowly, "Tell me clearly."

"Our Duke is unwilling to marry the princess who have lost his country. He contacted the present country of Navarra and wanted to hand over the princess to them for a new engagement. On the surface, he pretended to be very nice to the princess, but the princess accidentally heard their conversation." The little maid wiped her only remaining eye, "Then, the duke's nature was exposed. The princess was treated as a slave--no, not even a slave, but a wild dog. She was locked up in a very good place.

In the small room, I had to deal with the toilet on the spot. Now the stench in the room has made people vomit. Not to mention people, even flies are unwilling to stay. The Duke only asked me to give the princess a meal a day, but he didn't allow me to feed her well. Instead, he ordered me to pour the food directly on the ground and let her crawl over and lick it... The ground was full of urine! I really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. You were escorting the princess here, right? Can you please think of a way to secretly save the princess?"

"Why should I believe you?" the Count of Ile-de-France continued to ask slowly, "You are the maid given to Princess Navarre by the Duke of Brittany, that is, you have always been the Duke of Brittany. In comparison, you have only served Princess Navarre for a few days, so why do you have to betray the Duke of Brittany to help her?"

"Because I hate the Duke." The maid pointed to her eyes wrapped around the cloth strips. "My eyes were dug out by the Duke's order, because I did not look at the princess, so that the princess discovered the Duke's conspiracy."

The Count of Ile-de-France did not say yes or no. He slowly poured a bowl of new tea into the empty tea cup, then asked Black Flat to pass a dagger, cut one of his fingers, and dripped the blood into the poured bowl of tea. Then he handed the tea bowl towards the maid: "Drink it."

Tea is black tea, and even if it drips with blood, I can't tell anything. But after all, the little maid saw the whole process and was a little resistant to drinking this bowl of tea with added ingredients.

"This is the magic of the Carolingian clan. Those who drink, or touch my blood, will be unable to resist my orders and will not be able to lie to me." The Count of Ile de France handed the teacup forward and said in a commanding tone, "Drink it. Otherwise, I will tie you up and return it to the Duke of Brittany."

After struggling deep in his heart, the little maid finally chose to drink the tea. The Count of Ile de France recited the spell in his mouth. After the spell was finished, the little maid was already standing obediently.

"Answer me, who are you?" he asked.

"A maid working in the Duke of Brittany's mansion."

"Why are your eyes missing?"

"It was dug up by the Duke of Brittany."

"Answer me again, what's wrong with Princess Navara?"

"I was imprisoned by the Duke of Brittany."

“Where are you imprisoned?”

"The room that originally hosted the princess in the Duke of Brittany has now become a cage for house arrest."

"What are you here for?"

This time, the little maid hesitated for a while before answering, “To let you rescue the princess.”

The moment of hesitation did not escape the eyes of the Count of Ile de France. He pressed step by step: "Do you have any other purpose besides asking me to save the princess?"

The little maid hesitated for a while and replied, "To make you fight with the Duke of Brittany."

The maid's answers became slower and slower, which shows that this question has gradually touched the part she hated the most. Even Caroling's magic cannot allow a person to do what he hates the most.

The Count of Ile de France exchanged glances with the Black Scale. Although the maid's answer was a little hesitant, under the influence of magic, these could not be lies. Based on these few answers alone, it is actually enough.

The magic ended, and the little maid's face returned to her former spirit.

"You had already told me where the princess was when you were unconsciously." The Earl of France sat in his seat and slowly poured tea into the empty bowl again. "Of course I will save the princess. However, I am not familiar with the Duke of Brittany's house, so I have to rely on you to lead the way. This is a bit dangerous. Are you okay?"

"Are you going to sneak in?" The little maid was a little surprised, "The guards of the official residence are very tight."

"It depends on the timing. There are now three magicians of the Tianfang Empire living in the official residence, and mosquitoes cannot fly in. But in a few days, for example, the day when the Duke of Brittany was baptized with all the nobles, the guards of the official residence will be much more relaxed, and the magicians of the Tianfang Empire will also leave." The Earl of France held a cup full of tea and looked around, "The time is set on that day. You are waiting for me in the courtyard outside the hall where the banquet is held. After rescuing the princess, you will also follow me back to Versailles. The treatment of being a maid on my side is much better than here."

The little maid lowered her head and thanked her, then left the room.

She went straight back to the residence and knocked on the door outside the Duke of Brittany's bedroom. After getting the Duke's permission, she walked in.

The Duke was already lying on the bed to rest, holding a gorgeously decorated book in his hand.

"What do you say about the consul of the Almany Federation?" he asked.

"I seem to have made a mistake." The little maid shook her head guiltily, "It seems they didn't do this."

The Duke of Brittany smiled relievedly.

"That's right, I'm still a little suspicious about what you said. How could Carolin attack my military camp in the Principal of Brittany for a woman?"

"I read that's how it is written in Knight's novels..."

"It can only be seen in the novels of the knights. You must know that the protagonists are knights, in other words, the lowest nobles without territory. Caroling was the consul of the Federation of Almany, the duke of the Ile de France and Burgundy, and there were very few people in the world who had higher status than him."

"What the Duke said is." The maid humbly admitted her mistake with her head down.

"If it is not him, there is no need to send the princess out. The messenger I sent to Navarra has not yet heard back. The princess might be useful to keep it." said the Duke of Brittany. "You should continue to take good care of her. Just as before, the room should be cleaned, and three meals a day should be the same as before, and don't give away less. As long as she can ensure that she does not run away and does not cause trouble, don't torture her."
