Oboard, who released the messenger pigeon, went back to his room .
The changes that exceeded expectations made the marquis anxious .
Multiple deep breaths later, it didn't change his condition for the better, so he took a more direct approach .
Inside a drawer in the corner of his room, a thumb-sized crystal bottle was carefully taken out by the marquis .
Then, he uncorked it carefully and placed the crystal bottle to his lips .
He threw back his neck and half of the transparent liquid inside was poured into his mouth .
Hu! Huu Huu!
After drinking the potion, the marquis breathed heavily but unlike the previous attempts, these few deep breaths later, the anxiety on his face went away, leaving him with a comfortable, pleasant expression, he could even be considered as… intoxicated!
The whole process lasted for a few seconds only, the marquis then corked it properly with a heavy heart and placed the crystal bottle back into the drawer .
"The potion from Ghastly Woods Sect is really something . Too bad, it can't be used often . "
When Oboard thought of the warning from the "Dorl" of Ghastly Woods, he shook his head in regret .
If it was possible, he hoped that he could enjoy the relaxation everyday… no, every second!
"If I am in power, I must give more support to Ghastly Woods Sect, funding them to develop this potion to its limits!"
Unconsciously, the marquis had such thought in his heart .
At the same time, he heard the sound of gulping saliva .
Turning around, the marquis saw a black figure .
The figure was very unfamiliar and yet resembled someone he knew but what the marquis was concerned was the figure was gulping saliva non-stop, wiping his drool and had a gaze like a predator towards its prey .
"Who are you? You…" The marquis asked loudly out of instinct .
Unfortunately, before he could finish his asking, the black figure pushed him away and grabbed the crystal bottle in its hand . It then swallowed it together with the bottle .
Kachak!
After a broken glass sounded in its mouth, the crystal bottle was munched to pieces and was swallowed together with the liquid inside it by Gluttony .
Then…
Cough, Cough Cough!
"Bad! It tastes really bad!"
A fierce cough later, Gluttony spat out the crystal bottle together with the liquid .
It was the first time Gluttony tasted something so bad that it couldn't swallow, he even felt nauseated .
The nauseating feeling was strange to Gluttony, it was also something he didn't want to experience anymore . He was also angry at the marquis before him .
Oboard looked at Gluttony with astonishment and until Glutton threw his fierce gaze over, it was only then that the marquis reacted to the situation .
"Don't come near me! I, I…" The marquis screamed like a little girl but unlike a little girl, he wanted his scream to attract the guards hidden around his premises .
However, no matter how hard he screamed, no one responded to his call, especially those soundly asleep guards .
Correct they were soundly asleep! A deep sleep that ushered them into dreamland and no one would be able to wake them up .
Sloth squinted his eyes and leaned on the wall, the warm sunlight made him yawn uncontrollably .
"So warm . "
"So comfy . "
"So sleepy . "
As if he was sleep talking, Sloth fell on the floor, limping weakly, he was so tired that it looked like he would fall asleep any second now .
In fact, snores came at the next moment, not from Sloth, not from the soundly asleep guards but another person that appeared in the shadows just now .
Ragged robes with vile stench, rattling bugs fell of his robes .
Each bug that fell off was curled up or extended as all of them fell into a deep sleep .
Sloth lied down on the floor like a pile of dirt, looking at the expected intruder and kept muttering "Trouble, trouble! I want to sleep in the sun!"
His muttering was full of ranting but ultimately, he still crawled up in a wobbly manner and headed outsides to the streets .
The intruders were not just one man and a lot more required Sloth to deal with them .
As for Gluttony?
Sloth didn't put his hopes on this boorish fella who only cared about eating . Although according to the idealistic plan, Sloth was tasked to deal with the room and Gluttony the other places .
But when that marquis took out the bottle to drink, Gluttony barged in uncontrollably and messed up his plans .
"Too far apart . Another one? There are so many others! So this is my lousy life of being busy? Why! Life is so unfair . "
Sloth ranted again, his speed got slower but those Ghastly Woods Sect members that lurked in Riverdale fell asleep before Sloth even got close .

Warren Palace, meeting hall .
Mary was sitting beside the throne, looking down at a newly drafted document on the table .
Although most of the time, these chores were the task of the secretary officer, this time, however, the meaning it represented was different . Mary had to do this on her own .
It was what she insisted on doing .
Duke Eldar beside her tried to say something but before he opened his mouth, Mary stopped him .
"Duke Eldar, please don't say anything that will put me in a difficult situation . I respect you from the bottom of my heart because of what you gave to Warren and also because you are a true noble . Likewise, I know what 2567 did as well . What you gave to my father and what 2567 gave to me is the same . I will never let down those who trust in me . "
Mary didn't look up, the quill in her hand was writing swiftly, producing elegant and sharp words .
The elderly duke saw word after word being written, he saw the face that was familiar yet strange to him . He opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say anything .
He compromised .
The elderly duke chose to compromise before Mary in her stern, persistent manner .
Sighing, Duke Eldar signaled Duke Zilin beside him without making a noise .
Right away, a chair was moved over to the table .
Inside the palace meeting hall, very few had the rights to sit, even the current generation of Duke Zilin was a little off but not Duke Eldar .
It was because of his age and also meritorious achievements .
"You should change this part . 2567 still cannot represent the Warren royal family, even if he becomes the regent king, you are still the queen . So you need to state your standings clearly, telling everyone what those nobles who got stripped of their titles and positions did to us . "
Duke Eldar suddenly spoke after sitting down and seeing what Mary wrote .
Mary looked up with surprise . After a quick glance, she curled her lips and showed a shallow smile .
"Thanks . "
The young princess expressed her gratitude sincerely .
"No need! I am doing this for the Warren royal family, for James, not you . "
The elderly duke grunted but he wasn't stingy with his teachings .
Even with her mother's excellent teachings, drafting documents like this was too much of an effort for Mary but with Duke Eldar's participation, everything became smoother .
20 minutes later, a document without flaws or errors was produced .
Mary rubbed her fingers and passed it to the elderly duke .
The elderly duke was surprised, he grunted again before taking the document, checking it meticulously .
No one would stop him from checking .
Even Mary and Duke Zilin slowed their breaths, trying not to disturb the elderly duke .
Therefore, when sounds came, it became very pronounced .

The doors were pushed open and the three in the meeting hall shifted their gaze to the origin .
The three of them were stunned in unison .
All three of them were looking at that familiar figure with an unbelievable gaze .
