"When did they see Bonnie's fiancé?" Werther continued to ask.
"Well, they can't remember it clearly. It was many days ago anyway."
"Then when did you take them to see the portrait? Do you know the approximate time?"
"I remember looking at the clock upstairs and it was a quarter past six." Carla made up a random time.
"Does Kath know about this?" Werther asked curiously.
Kara shook her head: "I think it's better not to let others know about this before I tell you in person, so I didn't mention it to others."
Margaery folded her arms in front of her chest and walked slowly to her. Although her tone was very light, it made people feel extremely fierce: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I want you to look good. I'll give it to you again."
Last chance, did you lie just now?"
Although Kara was nervous inside, she really wanted to express herself in front of Werther, so she said: "Miss Margery, don't accuse me unfairly, everything I said is true."
"Are you sure everything you said is true?" Margaery moved her face forward and stared at her with a sharp light in her eyes.
"Everything I said is true." Kara tried her best to look calm.
"No, there are many loopholes in what you said." Margery said angrily, "You must have lied, but I don't know which of your words is a lie."
At this time, familiar footsteps came.
Werther's hearing is very good now. He can hear even the sound of very light footsteps. Such a light sound is obviously made by Lina.
"Well, it's Lina who's back. She went out again last night, which made me very worried." He left the dining table in surprise and walked outside. At the door of the dining room, he happened to meet Lina's eyes as she walked over. He looked at
He looked at her wings that had not yet been hidden and said, "You are finally back. The wind was very strong last night. I hope you were not injured."
Lina's face turned red, she smiled shyly, and looked at him: "So you are worried about me, but don't worry, this little wind won't hurt me at all."
"That's good." He smiled reassuringly after hearing this.
"I want to tell you something." Linna suddenly showed a serious expression.
"Well, do we need to go to the study room to talk?"
"No need, it doesn't matter if everyone knows." Lina said, "That's it, at 6:15 in the morning, I saw several of Mrs. Agnes's servants, especially the maid wearing a gold headband.
, I have a particularly clear impression of her. What do you think they are doing?"
Werther asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"They tore down the portrait of Bonnie's fiancé and did it when there was almost no one on the street. It can be seen that they may have deliberately not been noticed."
Werther asked in surprise: "But why did they do this? Doesn't Mrs. Agnes no longer want to target me?"
Lina lowered her head slightly and said while thinking: "I don't think this means that Alice wants to target you."
At this moment, Werther suddenly thought that maybe she was repaying a favor by having the portrait taken down this time.
If Bonnie's fiancé was captured by the Dark family, then Werther's portrait of him posted around the town would definitely attract the attention of the Dark family and bring him more danger.
"Mrs. Agnes may indeed tear down those portraits in return for our life-saving grace." He said to Lina, "I'm just a little surprised that she would help us silently."
"My aunt must feel guilty for you," Margaery said.
"Well, rather than being born into the Dark family
In such a big aristocratic family, it is better for her to be born into a commoner's family, maybe then she won't do any bad things and can live a peaceful life."
"I'm also very helpless." Margaery spread her hands, "I don't want to be born into this family, even though I love my family very much."
"It seems that being born into a royal family or a noble family is not necessarily a good thing." Witte sighed.
"Yes." Margery sighed, and then suddenly remembered something. She immediately walked towards Kara, pointed at her nose and asked angrily, "You, didn't you just say that you brought the child with you at a quarter past six?"
Are you bringing the people to see the portrait? But Sister Linna just said that my aunt’s servants tore down the portrait at a quarter past six.”
Kara's face turned ugly. She looked at Werther and said, "Your Highness, I took them to see the portrait at a quarter past six. Maybe the portrait at the location we went to had not been torn down at that time."
Lina frowned, looked at Kara with extremely sharp eyes, and said: "At a quarter past six, Agris's servants had already returned with those broken portraits. I counted the number of those portraits.
That’s the total number of portraits. I flew to the sky specifically to take a look, and I was sure that at least all the portraits in Daybreak Town had been torn down.”
Werther naturally believed Lina in his heart, but now that Kara's lies were exposed, he was extremely angry.
He looked at Kara, eyes closed tightly, pointed at the door, and said sternly: "Go out now and think about what you did wrong today!"
"I did nothing wrong, Your Highness, Bonnie's fiancé was indeed kidnapped by Duke Duke's family!" Kara said anxiously, "This is true, I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, go check it out.
Just know it!”
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying when she said these words, Werther squinted at her for a few seconds and asked: "I think half of what you said when you first walked into the dining room was right, and the other half
It’s a lie. I hope you can tell me the truth, who told you the clues about Bonnie’s fiancé?”
Carla thought to herself, Oh no, His Highness actually found out that someone else told me about this. What should I do now?
"Tell me, who told you this clue?" Margaery came over and asked fiercely.
"Could it be that some people from Daybreak Town came to tell you this clue, but you took the credit as if you found out about it yourself?" Linna also stepped forward and asked.
"This, I, I don't." Carla's tone was very soft, with a bit of hesitation, "There was no one outside the castle this morning, only me."
"Then did you and Cath really go to the market to buy food this morning?" Werther frowned hard, "I'm going to ask Cath now if this is the case."
After saying that, he walked out of the dining room. Kara was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.
Lina sighed, stepped forward and helped her to the chair, and said softly: "Why do you have to do this?"
"Don't you understand why I do this?" Kara looked at her with eyes full of jealousy, "It's not because I like him."
"If you like him, but bring him trouble all the time, and even hurt the people he likes, then it will be difficult for him to like you." Lina looked at her coldly, "Don't think that others are paying for you.
With good intentions, you can do whatever you want. I think what you did today, coupled with the things before, will probably make Werther extremely disgusted with you."
"But, when I made things difficult for you before, you just suffered it silently." Kara said angrily.
"Can it be said that if I don't say anything, you can bully me like that?" Linna
He furrowed his brows and said with a deep light in his green eyes, "If you really think that I am easy to bully, then you are wrong. I was only tolerant before to prevent Werther from being troubled, but you have gone too far."
Margaery said from the side: "Kara is not a kind person to begin with. If she stays here, sooner or later she will harm Brother Werther because of her selfish love."
Kara's face turned pale with fright at this time, but Margaery looked at her proudly, which made her feel even more unhappy.
At this time Werther came back, with Tom beside him.
"Cath just left for the market, and you were cleaning at the door this morning. Although Tom didn't always see you at the door, you didn't clean enough time for you to go to the market. Tom can prove it." Werther looked stern.
Tom nodded and said, "That's right."
"Kara, why are you lying like this?" Werther asked in confusion, "Is it really because you want to take credit?"
Kara lowered her head, bit her lip hard, and after a long time said slowly: "I want to take credit, not because I like you and want to attract your attention."
Werther was stunned for a moment, then sighed, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Did someone come and tell you some clues about Bonnie's fiancé?"
Seeing that things had come to this, Kara could only tell the truth: "Yes, Your Highness, a dirty-looking man came here this morning and told me those things."
Werther opened his mouth in surprise, and then asked: "Did you give him a reward, just like what was written in the notice."
"Give..." She was lying again.
"Really?" Werther's eyes were full of doubt.
"No." Kara whispered, "How can I give him any money?"
"Oh my god, that citizen came with full hope, but was deceived by you. You are really going too far!" Werther held his forehead in anger, with a look of sadness on his face, and was extremely heartbroken.
"Your Highness, there is no need for you to be so angry. I just lied to you because I like you. You and the people in the castle have no losses." Carla asked in confusion.
"Kara, why can't you understand?" Werther sat on a chair, holding his head, his voice extremely disappointed, "As a lord, I should be better to my people, but my negligence allowed this person to come and tell the clues.
The people left in despair. He must have walked a long way just for a small reward. He may have planned to use the money to buy a new pair of shoes for his children."
"Maybe she wants her elderly parents to eat something good." Margaery also showed a sad expression, "You know, the people of Daybreak Town live in relatively poor conditions."
Tom asked from the side: "Your Highness, what do you plan to do with Kara?"
"I don't know what to do." Werther spread his hands. "If I drive her out, how can she live? I can only keep her, but I don't know how to punish her to let her know that
wrong."
Margery became anxious again, pulled his clothes and asked: "Brother Werther, why don't you drive Carla out?"
Werther did not answer her, but just said to Tom: "Uncle Tom, I want Kara to find the people who came to the castle just now. You tell her to go now."
"Got it, Your Highness," Tom said.
After Tom took Carla away from here, Werther explained to Margaery: "Now the castle is in need of more and more manpower, Carla can still help. Moreover, if I drive her away like this, she will only hate her even more."
After all, she knows a lot about us, and once she betrays us, it will be even more detrimental to us."
At this moment, Linna and Margaery suddenly realized.
