Chapter 39 The oldest way

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Harman and Rafael know very well how much their sister weighs.

As long as she can find a way to deal with Galin behind her, Angela will naturally have nothing to fear.

The housekeeper also understood this, so she certainly could not leave at this time. "I was the most trusted person in Lord Theodosius during his lifetime, and it is my duty to ensure that his will is carried out."

"Stop using my father as a shield. He is loyal to the Figuerola family, and what he hates most is traitors. If he were still alive today, you wouldn't be able to stand here at all," Rafael said.

"I'm not a traitor." Garlin paused and then said, "I was also deceived by Yin Erkander."

"Of course you would say that."

"I still have the correspondence with Lord Yirkander. In the letter, he asked me to help him put a good word in Lord Theodosius' ears so that he can lead the army this time."

As Galin spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and placed it on the table, "Or do you think I can even imitate Lord Yin Erkander's handwriting?"

Harman grabbed the letter, quickly scanned the general content inside, and then looked at the handwriting carefully.

Then he handed the letter to Rafael. After the latter read it, the two looked at each other. Apparently, neither of them expected that the housekeeper had such a skill.

This not only clarified that she had nothing to do with Inrkand's betrayal, but also proved from the side that Theodosius was still alive at that time and that the suicide note was valid.

This hand is very beautiful.

Jialin looked calm on the surface, but actually he was secretly relieved.

This letter was indeed written by Inrkander, but at that time he only wrote this letter as an appointment with her, in order to add some proof that Theodosius was still alive.

The housekeeper never imagined that one day it would be used to clear her name.

Harman and Rafael knew that it would be difficult to make a fuss about Yin Erkander's matter. What happened in the Dragon Ridge Mountains was a scandal of the Yin Manuel family, and they were always talking about it. Not very good either.

Galin's eyes swept across the nobles in the hall, and then said, "It is an honor for the Yin Manuel family that you are willing to come to Blackstone City as a guest. I also believe that you are all fair and upright good people.

"So I have another unkind request. I hope that I can invite you all to supervise the subsequent negotiations to ensure that the Yin-Manuel family can decide the new head of the family fairly and independently."

The housekeeper deliberately placed an emphasis on the words impartiality and autonomy.

As a result, he soon encountered opposition from others, including Baron Condra, the head of the Soto family.

"Of course we have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Yin Manuel family, but... I also heard that there is a conspiracy happening here.

“It is obviously unfair to make a hasty decision on the choice of the head of the family before the conspiracy is fully investigated.

"We are here this time just to make sure something like this doesn't happen."

Galin frowned, "What conspiracy are you talking about?"

"There are many doubts about the death of Lord Theodosius. As you said before, such a wise and strong man could die on a chicken bone. This is really unconvincing."

"Lord Theodosius did not die on that piece of chicken bone, or that chicken bone was just a hook. What was really fatal was the wound left by the evil dragon on his body."

The housekeeper explained, "Half of Master Theodosius's body was burned by the terrible dragon flames. Even though he was strong-willed, he still couldn't get rid of the pain caused by the wounds.

"His skin was burned, covered with abscesses, and exuded... a foul odor, which is why he didn't want to go out to meet people.

"Master Theodosius is a very proud man. He doesn't want anyone to see his weakness, even if that person is his own child, so..."

"I want to see my father's body." Halman said.

Galin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there after the negotiation is over."

"No, I want to see you now." Harman said firmly.

Rafael also said, "You said that my father didn't want to see us when he was alive, so we can always go to see him after he dies."

"If you insist, you can come upstairs with me."

"Just here." Harman said, "Let everyone take a look."

"Are you really going to blaspheme your father like this?"

"The truth is the best respect. We don't even know if the person we plan to bury next is our father." Rafael sneered.

The housekeeper was silent for a long time, and finally gave in, "Then I'll have someone carry the body down."

About a quarter of an hour passed before a body wrapped in silk was carried to the center of the hall.

Everyone, including Yin Leya, gathered around curiously. Harman reached out and uncovered the silk cloth on it.

Then he looked at the corpse below. The man's body looked very thin, and his cheeks were sunken. It seemed that he was often tortured by illness.

And just like Galin said, half of his body was ulcerated, while the remaining half was still intact.

Harman and Rafal had not seen their father for more than a year, so they spent a long time identifying the body in front of them.

First of all, in terms of height, the deceased was indeed very close to Theodosius, but his body was smaller. However, he had been suffering from illness for so long, which can be explained.

As for the appearance, it seems a little different at first glance, but if you look carefully, it seems to be consistent with the memory.

This was because Theodosius lingered on the sickbed for too long, and the small changes in his body did not prove anything.

Therefore, Harman and Rafael stopped wasting time and looked directly at the top of the deceased's head.

——Ears are also the biggest feature of the Yin Manuel family members.

One of the ears on the head of the corpse has been burnt black, and the fur color of the other one is also very dull, but the former color can still be seen.

It was a small yellow-brown triangular ear, the same as the ones on the heads of Halman and Rafael.

And both of them could also see that the fur color of that ear was very pure.

Harman and Rafael both looked like they had seen a ghost at this moment. Could it be that the corpse in front of them really belonged to their father Theodosius, and that the housekeeper named Garin was not lying?

But the two quickly dismissed this thought from their minds, because it was no longer important. No matter what Galin told the truth or lies, they would not allow Angela to become the head of the Yin Manuel family.

.

Rafael was the first to speak, "This is not my father."

Harman also said, "The body shapes are quite different."

"If you are not sure, you might as well ask the elders of the family to identify it again." Galin suggested.

Rafael shook his head, "No need, even if this is the father, there is no way to prove that the suicide note was left by him."

"This doesn't make sense."

"Yes. Since we can't reach a consensus on the dispute between you and us, we can only use the oldest way to resolve it." Harman said two words softly, "——competition."
