Working Prophet

Ilea left for more than four months.

After she came back, she found that the territory had changed a lot. Although Fausto and others reported the work progress to her regularly, what the ears heard was still very different from what the eyes actually saw.

But the female lord doesn't have much time to wander around the city right now.

She asked Ruby to go with Fausto to allocate accommodation to the followers who were tired from the journey behind them.

The three types of accommodation, low-rent houses, longhouses and tents during the two-week period are decided purely by drawing lots. This is the fairest. If a family does not want to be separated, then nominate one person to draw.

In addition, it is best not for men and women to live in the same building to prevent unnecessary troubles in the future.

How to divide it, Ilea didn't ask.

She returned to the castle first, where she was welcomed again by the steward Yago and others.

In addition to the traditional rabbit flag, Yago also had a dragon-slaying hero flag and a championship flag made, which were hung over Teacup Castle.

To be honest, no one expected that the female lord would win a championship in the martial arts tournament during her trip to the capital.

Especially for the nuns and stewards in the castle who have watched Miss Rabbit grow up, no one knows better than them how much the girl weighs.

Before becoming the lord, Ilea had never practiced martial arts at all. After becoming the lord, Miss Rabbit also worked hard to get better, but she only lasted less than half a day before giving up completely.

Especially with the ancient spirit, the female lord often spends the whole day in the study, and she never remembers to practice swordsmanship.

However, even in this way, she still became the number one master in the Red Lion Empire and even the Bratis Continent.

While everyone was lamenting the greatness of Saturday and the prophet Merlin's transformation of decay into magic, they couldn't help but sweat the current talent pool of the empire.

Ilea dealt with the government affairs she had accumulated during this period. As a result, it was already evening after she put down her pen, and the female lord stretched herself behind the desk.

Just as she was about to go back to the house to rest, she heard from the guards outside that Fausto was back again and wanted to see her.

The female lord felt a little strange and didn't understand why Fausto came to her so late. The two had only met during the day. If there was something urgent, why didn't Fausto tell her at that time?

Xianggui thought so, but the girl still let Fausto in.

After the latter entered the house, he closed the door and took two steps forward. He even looked out the window before speaking.

"Lord Ilea, I have a letter here that I just received four days ago. It was written to you by Lord Pep."

"Why didn't you tell me about this when we contacted by radio three days ago?" Miss Rabbit wondered, "Who is Pep?"

The female lord thought the name was a bit familiar at first, but couldn't remember where she had heard it before, until Fausto reminded her.

"Master Pep is the head of the Welch family."

"Welch..." the girl pondered, and finally got some impression, "Oh, it's that short fat guy."

Pep gave Ilea a statue of a very heroic dragon-slaying hero on her nineteenth birthday. However, there was a hidden mechanism inside the statue of a hero, and a deadly poisonous arrow was hidden inside.

The dragon-slaying hero seemed to have been secretly made by the blacksmiths of the Blood Moon Society, but the purpose was just to attract the female lord's attention and provide cover for another more vicious hidden weapon.

However, Pep probably didn't know about this, because the price of assassinating a noble was too high. As the head of the Welch family, Pep himself had no grudge against Miss Rabbit.

There was no reason to do such a crazy move, but then Pep took the initiative to confess another thing to the female lord.

And that incident was about the girl's missing stepmother and brother.

Seeing that Fausto was so cautious, Ilea knew that this letter was probably related to Vanessa Blanco again.

So the mistress reached out, took the letter from the old advisor, and read it herself.

After that, her expression became more complicated, "Vanessa still didn't give up, and contacted Pep again to ask for money, saying that she would call back soon to make Blanco the owner of the land.

"I have revitalized the family, spread the name of Arias throughout the empire, and made Green Field more prosperous than ever before, but does she still want to drive me away?

"You don't have to worry within the family. After all, everyone has seen your contribution to the family over the past year, and everyone now believes in Saturday together.

"Let's not talk about Blanco and Vanessa, even if Master Ruth comes back, he can't take away your position as Patriarch."

"This is what is most difficult for me to understand." The female lord frowned, "To this day, that woman still refuses to accept her failure. Can't she see that she has no chance of winning?"

Fausto thought for a while and said, "Vanessa...maybe she just wanted to use this excuse to borrow some more money from Lord Pep. The key is what Lord Pep revealed in the letter.

"He seems to be planning to use the money to lure Vanessa and Blanco out, and then completely eliminate this pair of hidden dangers for you."

Miss Rabbit fell into silence after hearing this.

After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Write a letter to Pep and tell him to stay out of his own business... I don't want the lives of Vanessa and Blanco. They are my family after all."

Seeing that the old consultant seemed to want to say something else, Ilea said, "I know you will say that I am too kind and indecisive, but I still have to stick to my choice.

"I had a conflict with Vanessa, a very fierce conflict, and I used to hate her, but she did not let the group of mercenaries kill me that time at Honey Bear. It was just that Jude was entrusted by someone to deliberately provoke me. The relationship between me and her escalated the situation.

"So..." the female lord sighed, "I naively think that they and I are still family members, and as you said, my current position is already very solid. It is impossible for them to take it back, and I have lost it. The only reason to kill them.

Fausto's wrinkled face also showed a smile when he heard this, "I don't want to advise you to kill Mrs. Vanessa and Master Blanco."

"uh-huh?"

"You have the most important qualities to become a great, not just a good, lord. No wonder so many people follow you."

"Well, they mainly follow Merlin." The girl shrugged.

"But Prophet Merlin is also by your side. He chose you for a reason. Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but you also have a special charm.

"As you know, I have served several lords of the Arias family, but I feel the most relaxed only when I am by your side. It is not the kind of relaxation because there are fewer things to do, but a kind of mood. Relax."

"Really?" The female lord scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed to be praised.
