Chapter 406 You are testing me

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Miss Rabbit was dazzled by the golden light in front of her, and she subconsciously reached out to take it, but then she thought of something and paused, with a look of struggle 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 person who came 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 attentive people also noticed that Alfred walked into the banquet hall not long ago and said something in Ilea's ear. Obviously, something may 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 I heard the uninvited guest speak 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 addressed to the future heir of Lake City.

However, Hernan turned around and saw that the person speaking was not a nobleman, but a maid. It would be too shameful for him to do whatever the other person said, so he pretended not to hear and stood up from the ground.

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 but raise his voice a little, "Miss Ilea, if you don't like me, you can just say it. Are you doing this deliberately to embarrass me?"

"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 terrible 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 living alone now."

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

"Lord Hernan." Miss Rabbit is almost at her limit. If it weren't for today being her birthday, so many nobles from the Western Region would be present. With her personality, she wouldn't spoil anyone at ordinary times.

But after enduring it for so long, the female lord finally couldn't bear it anymore. She put away the fake smile on her face and directly interrupted the other person's words, "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 after thinking for a moment, he answered seriously.

"Maintaining a healthy diet, eating more mutton and bread, and eating less vegetables grown in the ground... Well, starting 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 actually wanted me to keep the token of love as well."

"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 a 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 unexpected 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 that 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 shook 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.

He was frothing at the mouth and his limbs were twitching constantly.

Ilea immediately sent people to find the herbalist in the castle, and also sent people to her bedroom to get the magical elixir of Shuangxiujiao. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

By the time the herbalist arrived, Hernan had already died.

The poor Malir family heir obviously suffered a lot of pain before his death, his expression was distorted, and he couldn'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 for 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.

She quickly found the real murderer who killed the future Lord of Lake City along the blood trail.

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.
