Working Prophet

Miss Rabbit's eyes were dazzled by the golden light in front of her, and she was about to reach for it subconsciously, but then she thought of something, paused, and struggled on her face.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the banquet hall and shouted, "Don't move!"

All the guests were shocked. Miss Rabbit raised her head and found that the visitor was actually her new personal maid, Charlene.

However, the latter is not as gentle and obedient as before, and his whole expression is serious.

And behind her is Greta, the girl who can control mice.

"Bold!" A guard stepped forward to stop him.

As a result, he had just grabbed Ruby's arm when he heard the voice of the female lord, "It's okay, let her come over."

The guard was stunned when he heard this and could only let go of his hand. At the same time, the surrounding guests stretched their necks and looked at the two uninvited guests in front of them.

Some careful people also noticed that Alfred had walked into the banquet hall not long ago and said something in Ilea's ear. Obviously, something might have happened to the Arias family.

Ruby spoke as fast as she could, "Miss Ilea, please get out of your seat."

Miss Rabbit was confused, "Then should I move or not?"

"Move, please leave."

One of the characteristics of Miss Rabbit is that once she believes someone, she will continue to believe it until she is deceived.

So he didn't say anything after hearing this, and stood up and left his seat.

Hernan became anxious when he saw this, "Miss Ilea, my trick is not finished yet." He also wanted to get up from the ground.

But then the uninvited guest spoke again, "Sir Hernan, please maintain your current posture and don't move."

Only then did everyone realize that the two words Ruby had shouted earlier were meant for the future heir of Lake City.

However, Hernan turned around and saw that the speaker was not a nobleman, but just a maid. It would be too embarrassing for him to do what the other party said, so he just pretended that he didn't hear it, and stood up from the ground as usual.

Then he wanted to chase Ilea, but after taking two steps, he was blocked by a knight from the Arias family.

Hernan looked embarrassed and a little angry, and couldn't help raising his voice a little, "Miss Ilea, you can just say it if you don't like me, are you doing this to embarrass me on purpose?"

"I told you from the first time you expressed your love to me that I don't want to get married yet."

"What, you are not pretending to be reserved when you say that, do you want to test me?" Hernan was shocked.

"Uh, why do you have such horrible thoughts?"

"Because you are about to turn nineteen and need to give birth to an heir to continue the bloodline of your family."

"No...I'm quite happy on my own now."

Hernan's eyes widened, "What a terrible idea, haven't the elders in your family warned you? If something happens to you..."

"Lord Hernan." Miss Rabbit was almost at her limit. If it weren't for today being her birthday, so many nobles from the Western Region would be present, and with her personality, she wouldn't be spoiled by anyone.

But the female lord endured it for so long, and finally couldn't help it anymore. She put away the smirk on her face, and interrupted the other person directly, "Do you know how a person can live as long as possible?"

Hernan didn't know why the female lord suddenly asked this question, but he still answered seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Eating healthily, eating more lamb and bread, and eating less vegetables that grow in the ground...well, and having a family, having children, and enjoying family happiness can obviously make a person live longer."

"No, just mind your own business." The female lord said calmly.

When Hernan heard this, his face almost swelled to the color of pig liver.

At this moment, another voice came from behind him, "Lord Hernan, can I take a look at the rose in your hand?"

Hernan turned around and saw that the person speaking was the maid who ordered him not to move. He couldn't help but become even more angry and waved his hands, "Sir Ilea, you have a beautiful idea. It's okay if you don't accept my proposal. He even wanted me to keep the token of love."

"I didn't want the golden rose, I just wanted to check it out," Ruby tried to explain.

But Hernan was so excited now that he held the golden rose tightly in his hand, "You don't even want to touch it!"

"Then can you at least tell us where these extra flowers come from? This could be a Herodotus trap."

"Oh, is this the poor excuse you can come up with, Herodotus' trap? You just want to humiliate me, get out of the way, I'm leaving." Hernan said as he pushed away the man in front of him. Little maid.

Greta caught Ruby who was about to fall in time, then narrowed her eyes and stared at the noble in front of her without saying a word.

Hernan felt an inexplicable chill, but he did not apologize and walked out of the hall without stopping.

The guards at the door glanced at Alfred, who shook his head slightly.

No matter what, Hernan is a member of the Marier family, and if nothing else happens, he will become the next head of the Marier family and a guest at the banquet.

If he was forced to stay, it would be easy to find out there was something wrong with the rose, but if not... it would become a big trouble.

Just when everyone thought Hernan would leave without looking back, he suddenly stopped again.

Then his shoulders trembled unnaturally twice.

Alfred was the first to notice Hernan's abnormality, but before he could speak, the future owner of Lake City fell to the ground.

Foaming at the mouth, limbs twitched continuously.

Ilea immediately sent people to find the herbalist in the castle, and also sent people to her bedroom to get the magic medicine of Shuangxiujiao, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.

By the time the herbalist arrived, Hernan had died of exhaustion.

The poor Mariel family heir obviously suffered a lot of pain before his death, his expression was distorted, and he didn't even leave a last word.

Ruby and Greta also rushed to Hernan's side at this time.

Ruby pried open Hernan's fingers, and then did not immediately reach out to take the bunch of golden roses in the latter's palm. Instead, she took out a handkerchief and put it on her hand, and then picked up the bunch of golden roses. , put it in front of your eyes and watch carefully.

Following the blood trail, she quickly found the real culprit who killed the future Lord of the Lake City.

Under the golden rose petals, Ruby saw a small hidden emerald, about the size of a fingernail. It looked quite valuable, but it was not the gem that killed the person, but a small emerald on the rose stem. prick.
