Working Prophet

Without waiting for David's answer, Ilea raised the recording pen and played the conversation inside.

"Tell me the name."

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

"No, you killed my father. He regards you as a close friend. I need to avenge my father."

"Impossible. If you know his identity, you will know that your revenge cannot be completed at all."

"That's my business."

"…………"

"He forced me. The Figuerola family is the lord of the West, and that man is the next heir of the Figuerola family. He only had to use his mouth, and someone would do everything for him. They framed Hugo , my only son, I had to do as he said.

"This is the only way to save Hugo. I don't want to murder your father. We are friends, but I can't disobey David's orders. I'm sorry, I'm too weak..."

…………

"Do you have anything to explain, Lord David?" Ilea pressed on.

"Recording sounds is probably the method of Merlin's prophet." David said, "No matter how many times I experience it, it is still very magical. I don't doubt the ability of Merlin's prophet, but this method also has a shortcoming.

"It can only record the sound, but it cannot record what state the speaker was in at that time."

"What does it mean?"

"What I mean is that Sir Carloman probably said this under duress. As we all know, Sir Carloman went hunting with his attendants more than ten days ago, and then disappeared.

“His family has been looking for him during this time, and just three days ago, news came from Acorn Castle that the body of the squire who went out with him was found.

"Judging from the wounds left on the body, he obviously experienced a battle before his death. From this, the Weir family concluded that Sir Carloman was kidnapped."

"Are you implying that I kidnapped Sir Carloman and forced him to say what he said before?" the girl said angrily.

"I didn't say that, but Sir Carloman's behavior is indeed very strange. As a nobleman and the head of the Weir family, he appeared on the stage in person to participate in your play. He was ill and even broke down during the performance. He took his own life with his own hands.

"Don't you think it's all a little weird?"

Many people present nodded secretly at David's words, especially when they recalled the bloody scene before. The look on Carloman's face was indeed very struggling, as if he was being coerced by someone.

But in the end, his conscience prevailed, and instead of following the arrangement of the female lord, he spoke out to frame David, and instead ended his own life. This seemed to make sense.

Miss Rabbit laughed angrily, "Obviously you are threatening him down there, otherwise why did you bring his son here?"

"Hugo came with Lady Catherine. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Also," David paused, "do you want to explain why Sir Carloman lost his right hand?"

"I didn't chop his right hand off, but..." The girl suddenly realized something when she was halfway through speaking. When Hells handed the man over to her, he didn't say anything about Carloman's condition. of.

Even if she confessed to Hals now, the latter would probably not admit that his people did it.

And the most terrible thing is that Ilea doesn't have any evidence on hand.

From kidnapping to handing over people, Hulse did everything very clean.

Sure enough, when the girl turned her head to look at Hells, the other party just showed her a helpless smile.

In the eyes of outsiders, the new head of the Arias family is indeed the person most likely to kidnap and take revenge on Carloman.

After all, Carloman accidentally killed her father. With this hatred, Ilea had every motive to do such a thing.

It's just that most people can't understand why the girl is trying every possible means to drag the Figuerola family into trouble.

First Hulls, then David.

If it weren't for the identity of a dragon-slaying heroine here, she would have been captured by the Figuerola family's guards by now.

In fact, the Sheriff has turned his attention from Hells to the female lord. He looks eager to take action. He will step forward to take the person as soon as David gives the order.

Miss Rabbit, who originally thought that she could convict the real culprit with all the evidence and the power of public opinion, suddenly found that she had been busy for so many days, but she seemed to have gained nothing except helping Hulls clear his grievances. .

Instead, he unintentionally took the blame for kidnapping and forcing Carloman to death.

The girl's lungs were almost exploding with anger. She glanced at the faces of everyone present, expecting someone to come to her side.

However, from nobles to commoners, most people only looked at her with suspicion and hostility.

The Figuerola family has ruled the Western Territory for more than nine hundred years. It has replaced the Enriquez family as the orthodoxy of this land and enjoys a high reputation among the people.

Even though she is now a dragon-slaying hero, everyone is still more inclined to believe in the Figuerola family than in the latter.

Ilea suddenly felt that she might have been wrong from the beginning.

One should not rely on the power of the public to counter the power of the Figuerola family.

But if she doesn't do this, the girl doesn't know what she can do to avenge her father.

After all, in the Western Region, the Figuerola family is too powerful. As a top wealthy family occupying the upper echelons of the empire, its military, political, and economic strength is far beyond what the small Arias family can match.

From the moment she sets out on the road to revenge, almost everyone tries to persuade her to give up.

However, she is not Hugo. As a member of the Arias family, Miss Rabbit has perfectly inherited her father's stubbornness.

Of course she doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons, but on some issues of principle, the new head of the Arias family is more stubborn than anyone else.

She couldn't accept that her beloved died in such an unknown manner. Even though she knew that she might be in danger if she continued to pursue the case, she still ran into him without hesitation.

Perhaps in the eyes of smart people, her approach was not wise at all. But Miss Rabbit still stubbornly feels that some things must be done in this world, and she is far from the end of the road yet.

If this was a three-person card game, both Hells and David had already played their trump cards one after another, but Ilea's trump card was still tightly held in her hand.

And that was the biggest ghost on the table.
