The female lord counted the days and Li Yu should be back tonight, so she had no intention of doing anything else in the afternoon.
After settling a dispute over the spoils of war between her generals, she planned to run away. However, just as she was about to leave, she saw a guard coming over to report that Romero Goldfinger had come to see her.
Miss Rabbit was a little surprised. Romero had been staying in Rock Snow City to help her aunt Alisa and great-grandmother Ona manage the city.
After all, it was once the territory of the Figuerola family. Even if she has occupied it now, it will still take time for the locals to fully recognize it.
When Ilea heard that Romero came to see her, Ilea thought something had happened in Yanxue City.
But she had just contacted Alisa yesterday using the radio station during her weekend break. At that time, Yanxue City was generally stable, and Romero should have already left the city.
Miss Rabbit couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and waited for Romero to say it himself.
The financial officer looked very tired. He must have come all the way without much rest. His face was tanned a lot and his clothes were covered with dust. However, he still saluted the girl after entering the door.
"Lady Ilea."
"Sir Romero."
"I heard that the war is going very smoothly. It seems that you will soon be able to regain the entire Western Territory."
The female lord nodded, "This is all the result of everyone's heroic efforts. In addition, the Dragon, Italian Cannon and Three-Eyed Bird from Shuangxiujiao also helped a lot."
"Then in a few days you can announce to the entire continent that you have become the new master of this continent."
"Well, let's wait until Prophet Merlin comes back. We're not in a hurry anyway. Sir Romero, are you here just to ask me when the war will end?"
Romero pondered for a moment and then said, "My visit this time is indeed related to the current war."
Ilea raised her eyebrows and waited quietly for his next words.
"An old friend asked me to ask you if Ilkander and his warriors could be spared."
"Old friend, what old friend?"
"Sir Leo, I have dealt with you several times before."
"Leo? That guy is still alive." Miss Rabbit was a little surprised. After the fall of Lionheart Castle, she heard that except for Garth's wife and daughter who had escaped, the rest of the Vespasian family had been killed by those winged
The tribesmen were put to death.
Romero said, "Sir Leo found a place to hide a week before the city was destroyed. The Wing Tribe people couldn't catch him and there was nothing they could do. Oh, by the way, he also saved Lord Claudio."
"Lord Claudio is still alive?" The female lord was really shocked this time.
Claudio was the second son of Edward II and the younger brother of the last emperor of the empire, Garth. He had the purest blood of the Vespasian family.
Ilea was no longer the ignorant political novice she had been before. Her head turned quickly, thinking of the information revealed by Gabriel during her previous interrogation, so she blurted out.
"Second Son Alliance."
Romero's expression changed slightly after hearing these three words, "Have you... also heard of the Second Son League?"
"I know Leo is from the Second Sons League," Ilea said, "So Claudio has also joined the Second Sons League. Does the Second Sons League want to push him out to be the new emperor? What about you?
, are you also from the Second Sons Alliance, Sir Romero?"
Romero nodded and said frankly, "I did join the Second Sons Alliance, just four years ago."
"But I remember that you are your father's eldest son."
"Not all Second Sons are Second Sons," Romero said. "This mysterious organization was originally established to help the Second Sons improve their situation. The core members are all the Second Sons of the twelve major families.
"But after they combined the power of the second sons, they became very influential, and they were attractive enough to small and medium-sized nobles like me.
"If the Second Son Alliance wants to continue to grow and develop, it is bound to attract more fresh blood to help them. It was at that time that we joined the Second Son Alliance, but our status in the organization is not as high as the first batch of people.
"Did Hells introduce you to join?" Ilea asked.
"That's right." Romero didn't hide it, "Mr. Hells is an important member of the organization."
"Where's Na'ao? Is he your leader?"
"No one knows who the leader of the Second Sons Alliance is. He has been hiding in the dark, observing everything and planning everything. Leo is the liaison, responsible for contacting everyone and conveying his orders."
"Ilkander is also from the Second Sons Alliance?"
Romero nodded, then shook his head, "For safety reasons, most members of the Second Sons Alliance do not know each other's identities. I don't know if Ilkand is a member of the organization.
"I just received an order to save him as much as possible, so I came to you in such a hurry."
However, after learning the whole story, the female lord said, "I can't let him go. He is the murderer of Marquis Cullen."
"Ilkander said this was a misunderstanding. At that time, they were besieged by the dwarves in the valley. After knowing that there was no hope of escape, Marquis Cullen took the initiative to ask Irkander to kill him as evidence to prove his loyalty to the dwarves.
.
"After gaining the trust of those dwarves, Ilkander left the Dragon's Back Mountains and wanted to warn you and the reinforcements you led not to step into the trap of those dwarves.
"But in the end he missed you in the mountains."
Miss Rabbit couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this, and she felt a deep respect for the courage and determination shown by Marquis Cullen at that time.
After a moment she asked, "Does Ilkand have any evidence?"
"No, given the situation at that time, it was impossible for him to leave any evidence, otherwise the dwarves would probably find out. Not only would he die, but he would also be unable to bring the news out of the Dragon's Back Mountains."
The female lord touched her chin, "When you said this, it seems that Garin also mentioned to me that Ilkand didn't seem like someone who would betray the glory of the knights.
"But I couldn't let him go just based on Ilkand's words. After all, many people saw that he murdered Marquis Cullen."
Romero also understood that it would be difficult to clear Ilkander's grievances, so he added, "The Second Sons Alliance hopes to make a deal with you."
"What deal? I'm not very short of money now." Ilea said.
"It's not money. It's already certain that you will become the Lord of the West, but there may still be people who make an issue of your identity.
"If you are willing to let Ilkander go, then Claudio can make you the Lord of the West in the name of the Vespasian family, so that you and your family can rule the West forever."
