Ilea played with electronic pet eggs for most of the night, and finally felt a little sleepy. However, not long after she closed her eyes, she was woken up by the sound coming from outside the door.
Miss Rabbit turned over and originally planned to continue sleeping, but after lying down for a while she changed her mind and got up from the bed, threw on some clothes and opened the door.
"What happened?" the girl asked a group of guards passing by the door.
The leader stopped and said, "Sorry, Miss Ilea, something happened over there in the dungeon. Gabriel attempted to assassinate Lord David, and was beheaded by the guards who arrived."
"Gabriel is dead?" The girl was startled when she heard this. She was not surprised by this result. It was absolutely impossible for Gabriel to survive the crimes he had committed.
But the female lord didn't expect Gabriel to die so quickly.
She had just brought people to Yanxue City, but Gabriel died before the day was over.
The girl had to take some time to digest the news. After a moment, she said again, "Lord David..."
"Lord David saw through the trick on the other side. He is not seriously injured. He just suffered a slight injury on his arm. The prisoner cut his skin with a knife."
"I don't quite understand, where did the knife in Gabriel's hand come from?" Ilea frowned.
"This is also what we want to know. Lord David has already asked people to investigate this matter," the leader said, "If there is nothing else, please Miss Ilea, please stay in the room as much as possible and don't move around at will.
Guard Captain Levin is worried that there are other assassins, but the Marquis Mansion has also stepped up security."
"Okay." Ilea nodded, watching the team of guards walk away, and was about to go back to the room, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of Sheriff Brian.
The latter hurriedly passed downstairs, frowning, and walked towards the direction of the meeting hall.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't contain her curiosity and followed quietly.
There were guards outside the meeting hall, but Ilea didn't need to be too close to hear the sounds coming from inside.
"I've done a preliminary check, and there's a dungeon guard named Pred missing. He was also one of the six people who escorted the winged bastard back to the dungeon during the day. He was supposed to stay in the dungeon tonight, but
Not long after the sun set, he found an excuse and left early."
Then came David's voice, "Do you think he secretly gave that knife to Gabriel?"
"Although I still don't want to believe that guy Pred dared to betray me, but it seems that this is the only explanation at the moment." Tie Mian said.
"I have sent people to where he lives, but there is no one there. Pred, his wife and daughter are no longer there, and they have also taken away some valuable trinkets that are easy to carry.
"
"The city gate must have been closed when Pred left."
"That's right, that guy can't escape. When I find him, I will definitely stuff the flower pear into his butt!" the Sheriff roared.
Even though she was dozens of steps away, the girl's ears still hurt from Brian's roar.
But then the Sheriff's voice became lower again, "I was not strict this time. I didn't know anything about my men being bribed, and I was implicated in your assassination. If that guy really succeeded, I would be dead."
I'll never give up."
"It's nothing. It's not your fault. My brother is very good at demagoguery. Plus he is a member of the Figuerola family. It's normal for you to have someone working for him." David said.
"But no matter what, this is my dereliction of duty. I will pay the price if I make a mistake." Tie Mian said, "I will also resign as the Sheriff after I find Pred."
"No!" David refused without hesitation, "Everyone has seen the results of your work over the years. We cannot let Yanxue City lose an excellent police chief just because of such a trivial matter."
"But you..."
"As I said, there is nothing serious about my hand. In fact, now is the time when I and the Figuerola family need you most. Sir Brian, are you going to abandon me at this critical moment?"
"of course not."
"Very good," David's voice slowed down a bit, "then hurry up and find Pred and my brother."
"I won't let you down."
Miss Rabbit then heard footsteps coming from the meeting hall, but it was too late for her to retreat upstairs. It would be too embarrassing if she was hit at this time, so the girl quickly hid behind an armor.
.
Fortunately, the Sheriff was full of thoughts at the moment and didn't look around when he left. He just walked straight past the female lord and left the Marquis Mansion.
Before the girl could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard David's voice coming from the other side of the meeting hall, "Is the person outside Miss Ilea?"
The female lord felt a chill in her heart, but there was no point in hiding anymore at this time.
She could only stand up from behind her armor, straighten her cloak, and walk towards the meeting hall.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
"I know you just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and happened to come here." David said.
"Uh...how did you find me?"
"armor."
"What?"
"Those armors, your shadow is reflected on them." David explained.
"Oh, I didn't notice." Miss Rabbit felt more and more embarrassed. She could only forcefully change the topic, pointed at David's arm and said, "How is your hand?"
"I can still hold the sword, so there's nothing wrong with me."
"I'm sorry." The girl whispered.
"Why are you apologizing suddenly, Miss Ilea? This incident has nothing to do with you."
"If I hadn't pressed you too hard, you probably wouldn't have gone to interrogate Gabriel so late at night. Maybe tomorrow, the guards of the dungeon would have discovered that he had hidden the knife."
"Maybe, but my brother will definitely come up with other ways to deal with me." David said, "Speaking of which, I should also thank you, if you hadn't caught Gabriel and exposed him and my brother
If you tell me that Hells is not dead yet, I won’t be more vigilant. I’m afraid it’s not my hand that’s injured tonight.”
"Ha, this is what I should do. Compared with a sinister and cunning person like Hells, a kind and righteous person like you is more suitable to be the next master of the Western Territory. This is what I think in my heart."
"If that day comes, I also hope that Miss Ilea and your Arias family can continue to serve me. Your support is crucial to me."
"I will." The girl said without thinking. After she finished speaking, she found that David was still staring at her, his eyes burning.
Miss Rabbit blushed and reminded, "Lord David..."
"Oh, I was a little distracted just now. Rock Snow City is quite far away from Acorn Castle. Sir Carloman shouldn't be here so soon, so I was thinking... I don't know if you are free tomorrow, Miss Ilea. I have a baby.
The theater troupe from the royal capital plans to hold a performance in the city."
"A theater troupe, or are they from the royal capital?" The girl's eyes widened.
"Yes, the owner of that troupe happens to know me. He is very interested in your story of slaying a dragon. After all, dragons have not appeared on the continent of Bratis for more than three thousand years, so he asked me
Can I talk to you? He plans to adapt this experience of yours into a drama or something."
"What, a story with me as the protagonist?!"
"Don't worry, he will pay."
"You just said that they came from the Royal Capital, does that mean they will go back to the Royal Capital and then perform my story in the Royal Capital?" Miss Rabbit took a breath of cold air.
"To be precise, Love and Mead will not only perform in the Royal Capital, but they will also tour in the mainland every once in a while, so..."
"So even the elves and dwarves know my name?! Oh my god... I'm not dreaming."
"No, you are a hero, and your achievements should be praised."
"Wow, I don't want to be rude, but this is too...I can't find words to describe my mood right now," the girl had to take a deep breath to slow down her heart rate slightly.
David smiled, "You'll get used to all this. I'll take it as your acceptance and we'll set off together after lunch tomorrow."
Well, it’s just the first update tonight, everyone go to bed early.
