A few days later, a rumor was spread throughout Keane Hill.

It was said that Crick Keane had contacted some suitors and prepared to hold a party to let them meet Miss Anna Keane. These suitors were relatively weak in power so that they would not be a threat to Keane Hill in the future. During the party, Miss Anna would communicate with them and make her final choice of a fiancé.

That was just a rumor, but many people believed it was true since it had been presented vividly. Thus, many suitors sent their subordinates to investigate the whole thing in a hurry, and then many traces were found.

Certainly, these subordinates reported what they had found in a hurry. After getting the information from their subordinates, these suitors exchanged it with each other and further confirmed that it was not a rumor but truth.

Come of the suitors couldn’t wait to discuss what they should do next.

In a temporary camp outside of Keane City, Connor Griffin, coming from the Duchy of Griffon, was very angry after listening to his subordinate’s report. His good mood after lovemaking was completely gone.

He was sitting on a chair made of a kind of fragrant wood that could help to calm the mind. He was also wearing a precious item from the deep sea, the Ice Tear Pearl. However, with the help of these two things, he still couldn’t suppress his anger and violence.

With a gentle kick, the sound of broken bones came from the woman on the ground that he was using as a mat. This woman was hunted down by him this morning. He wanted to keep her for a wonderful night, but now he couldn’t.

Perhaps it was a happy ending for this woman to die so easily. However, Connor had an even worse mood, and his eyes became more violent.

“How dare Crick not send me an invitation!” he said coldly. “How dare he!”

Nobody answered. His subordinates knew his temper very well, so they knew that the one who replied would probably be his target to relieve his anger. Life was so precious that none of them would like to die here meaninglessly.

Among all the suitors here, Connor Griffin had the highest rank. He was the younger brother of the current Griffon Duke. Although the current Griffon Duke had four sons, Connor was still one of the successors to the throne according to the law. Thus, in Connor’s opinion, it would be an honor for the Baron to marry him.

But in fact, Connor didn’t even send an official note. According to the official documents Keane Hill had received, this camp belonged to a businessman called William.

The reason why he came secretly was that he had too bad a reputation.

As an earl of the Duchy of Griffon, Connor had a series of nicknames with evil meanings, including the Fierce Beast of Griffon, Evil Wolf, and Man-Eater. If he was not at such a high rank, these names would be even worse.

His mother, a spy from the Orc Empire, was a Half-Orc with the blood of a werewolf. She was found and caught by the former Griffon Duke when she was disguised as a maid in the palace. As a spy, she was supposed to be killed, but at that time, instead of sleeping with human women, the former Griffon Duke was interested in the exotic female werewolf, so he made the exception to keep her alive.

After several months, this female werewolf was pregnant. But she didn’t give in, she kept resisting. The former Griffon Duke made her lose the ability to fight, so she kept cursing the former Griffon Duke as well as her child.

At last, to make sure she could give birth to this child smoothly, the former Griffon Duke cut open her body and let an evil mage who had been good at the Death Soul Spell transfer all her vitality to the premature baby through the horrible spell. Then this baby was born alive and was named Connor.
