Working Prophet

"Are you here to plead for my aunt?"

Ilea looked at Li Yu in front of her and frowned.

After dealing with the assassin's matter, the girl's mood became very low. Instead of being happy about finding the internal agent, she locked herself in the room alone, saw no one, and didn't even eat dinner until Li Yu came. Knock on the door.

"It's not a plea, I just feel that someone else may have put the note." Li Yu said.

"who?"

"It's not clear yet."

Ilea glanced at Li Yu again and suddenly said, "Did my aunt come to see you a few days ago?"

"Well, she wants me to help her prove that Torres's matter has nothing to do with her." Li Yu didn't hide anything.

"Did you promise her?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I have little interest in the internal affairs of the Arias family."

"Then why have you changed your mind now? Did someone come to you again and offer you a price you can't refuse?"

Miss Rabbit is now suffering from PTSD due to being stabbed in the back by her relatives, making everyone look suspicious.

Li Yu shook his head, "You hope that I can provide you with advice when necessary. Now is a time like this. No matter who left that note, his or her purpose is very clear, which is to further divide you and Other members of the Arias family.”

"Of course I have thought of this possibility, but... assassins or spies are real, you can't deny this, and now the scope has been narrowed down to three people.

"Paz, Aunt Tamara, and my aunt," the girl clapped her fingers, "Also don't forget a very important point, neither Paz nor Aunt Tamara can read or write. Leave the note."

"Maybe someone outside wrote the note, handed it to them, and then they put it in that room."

"It is indeed possible." Ilea also admitted, "But how do you explain why they didn't take action against me? As long as they ambush in the room, there is a high chance that they can successfully assassinate me and save their lives. In exchange for my life, this deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

"But if the person who threw the note was my aunt, then all this would make sense. No matter how much she wanted to help my stepmother and brother, she would not sacrifice herself."

"Your analytical and reasoning skills have improved a lot," Li Yu said, "but I still don't think your aunt is the inner agent of your stepmother and younger brother hiding in the castle."

"What's the reason?"

“Well, I re-read the voting list that day and found that your aunt is the only person Vanessa would have a hard time winning over anyway.

"Even if you put aside the personal relationship between you, just from the perspective of interests, the benefits you can bring to her by becoming the lord of the green field far exceed what your younger brother Blanco can offer her. The condition of sincerity, after all, your brother already has a mother and uncle by his side, so no matter how generous you are, the benefits you can share with her are very limited.

"It's not like you, both of your parents are dead, and the person you trust the most is her. Once you become the head of the Arias family, you will definitely need to rely on her. At that time, she will be the number two person in the entire Arias family."

"I don't know why Aunt Alisa betrayed me." Ilea took a deep breath and said, "But you told me that the people in the family had already known the election results in advance, and only I Keeping it in the dark, if my aunt really wasn't bought by my stepmother, why didn't she tell me in advance?"

"Alissa must have her own difficulties."

"What are the difficulties? After all, it's not for my own sake." The girl said coldly.

Li Yu didn't refute, but said, "I've said almost everything I want to say. In short, I came here this time to tell you that you probably found the wrong person. In fact, you may have doubts deep down in your heart. It must be difficult for you to accept that someone who believes in you betrayed you without any reason."

Miss Rabbit fell into silence after hearing the words, and sighed after a while, "You're right, I'm still in a trance, and I just remembered that when I was young, my aunt took me to play treasure hunting near the castle. Old maps, let’s look for the treasures left by the ancestors of the Arias family together, but in fact those silver coins were buried by her in advance.”

A look of nostalgia flashed in the girl's eyes, "I didn't realize how difficult it is to be a lord. In my dreams, I want to go back to the carefree life in the past. Alas... If only my father was still there, everything would be fine." will happen."

That being said, Ilea clearly knew that she could not go back.

She forced herself to break free from her memories and return to the cold real world, "I also want to believe in my aunt, but the facts are already in front of me, if it wasn't for Aunt Alisa, how did that note appear under the table?

"Could it be possible that there is a guy who can be invisible, hiding from everyone's eyes in broad daylight, swaggering into the room where I handle government affairs, putting down the note, and then drifting away without disturbing the guards at all? , this is too bizarre.”

"Indeed." Li Yu nodded, and after finishing speaking, he found that the girl had been secretly looking at him, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Since you think I have found the wrong person, can you help me find the real insider?" Miss Rabbit blinked her eyes and said with hope, "Well, it may be difficult to allow you to preach in the green field, but other things It's all negotiable. Let's do this. As long as you can help me solve this trouble, I will give you a piece of land first. What do you think?

"It's my uncle Diaz's place. It's in a pretty good location. It's not far from Teacup Castle. My brother is unwilling to fail and tries to usurp the position of lord. He is the mastermind like my stepmother. Vanessa sees the situation. When something went wrong, he escaped with Blanco, but Dias was captured by the Purple Sparrow Knight and is now locked in the dungeon under the castle.

"His property and fief were also deprived of him. However, that guy drank too much and hunted on weekdays, and didn't manage his fief very well. As a result, there were only a few families left on it, and many fields were abandoned. What he earned He spent all the money he had on drinking. I sent people to search his residence and found less than five gold coins and many IOUs.

"But don't worry, I have almost repaid the debt he owed by selling valuable things on his territory. Of course, the rest is basically a piece of white land, but if you can recruit enough farmers, We should still be able to make some money by reclaiming those abandoned fields.”

Miss Rabbit has already done the calculations for Li Yu, "If the harvest is good, plus other miscellaneous taxes, thirty gold coins a year should be fine. Although it is not as profitable as selling pepper, the point is that as long as the door is closed, Come on, you can also engage in some pagan activities. As per the old rules, as long as it’s not too excessive, I can pretend not to know.”
