"Chelsea, put down Elaine too...cough cough." There was another sound of coughing up blood.
Lorraine Hill slowly walked over from the side of the rock.
Angus was leaning against the stone wall, his body covered in blood, holding his daughter Elaine in his arms. Unfortunately, this previously flamboyant girl had no heartbeat at this moment.
"Who!" The head maid next to her, wearing a black dress and a white dress, looked at Lorraine Hill nervously, holding a thin sword in her hand.
"Don't be nervous. I don't think this lady is here to kill me." Angus looked up and saw that it was the girl he met by chance in the 'Flowers and Summer Leaves' before. He stopped being nervous and lowered his head again and looked.
Holding her daughter in her arms who has fallen into eternal sleep.
There was dark red blood on Elaine's chest, and it was obvious that someone had stabbed her heart with a sword and died.
It seemed like it was really a vendetta, Lorraine Hill thought to himself, then he took out three [blood-activating potions] and threw them over.
"Drink this, it will be good for your injuries."
The butler and head maid next to him were still a little confused, but Angus didn't hesitate, picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
After a while, his face became rosy again, and his coughing up blood became much less severe.
"Thank you." His voice was still a little hoarse.
"Well, it's nothing. I just saw the tragic situation on the road, so I came over to take a look at the situation." Lorraine Hill looked at the father who had lost his daughter. He felt a little sympathetic, but he stopped lingering and was about to turn around and leave.
"Can you wait? This kind lady." Angus coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"What's the matter?" The girl turned around in confusion.
"Are you going to Verga?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing there?"
"Make some money."
"I want to do a business with you."
"Um!?"
Angus covered his mouth where he was coughing up blood with a handkerchief, and took out a seal from his arms with his trembling right hand.
"I want to ask you to do me a favor." He said every word.
Lorraine Hill looked at this middle-aged man covered in blood, with some gray hair on his temples and some calluses on his hands. His dark blue eyes stared at her with reluctance and regret.
The girl was silent for a while, then asked, "What are you doing?"
"The thing I'm most sorry for in my life is my wife. She passed away early and left only one daughter. But I couldn't keep even this only daughter."
"I am not a good husband. When I was traveling these years, I had a relationship with a woman after being drunk. She gave birth to a child for me, who is only over 10 years old now."
"I don't know if the enemy knows about the existence of mother and son, but I can't take the risk. So I want to ask you to take care of them."
"Why me? Don't you still have loyal subordinates around you?"
"Yes, I have no doubt about the loyalty of Seres and Chelsea, but after the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be finished. If I and my apparent only heir are both dead, then the Carites Chamber of Commerce will soon
It will fall apart and be eaten completely by others."
"Without the protection and power of the Chamber of Commerce, those secret opponents will become even more unscrupulous, and at that time it will be impossible to resist them with just a few loyal subordinates."
"So you want to?"
"I would like to ask you to pretend to be my daughter, and then I will completely transfer the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce to you. I only ask that you protect my only child and his mother, so that they can live safely."
The butler and head maid nearby looked at this sudden scene and were a little surprised, but they couldn't say anything.
"But your daughter and I look different. Others won't believe it. Besides, we're not familiar with Verga either, so it's easy for her to reveal her secret."
Lorraine Hill carefully observed Angus's physical condition. Although the blood-activating potion temporarily replenished the blood and treated most of the wounds, his lungs had been ruptured and there was a lot of blood foam in them. He couldn't survive it.
Tonight, even if Lorraine Hill takes action, it will be the same. Angus himself is not a transcendent, and his physical condition is too poor, so some good healing spells and potions will be difficult to take effect.
"I have been raising my daughter in the West Wind Kingdom. No one in Verga has seen her. They only heard me say it orally. As long as you take my signed suicide note and token, and add Chelsea and Seres as your
Prove it and no one can question you."
"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with Verga. Serres and Chelsea will tell you what's going on there. Besides, my daughter doesn't know much about it, so this won't arouse any suspicion."
Lorraine Hill was silent for a while before slowly speaking.
"...Although it's a bit rude, does this really not arouse suspicion?"
The girl slowly took off her hood, and the three people on the opposite side were briefly shocked. Silk-like silver hair slipped from the hood, white enamel-like skin, warm lips, slightly turned nose, and
There are those breathtaking red crystal eyes! This is even more beautiful than the goddesses described in those poems. The silver hair and crimson eyes formed a huge visual impact, making the three people secretly hold their breath.
Afraid of breaking this crystal-like dreamy scene.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the three people opposite, the girl sighed slightly, and then put her hood back on, which allowed the three people opposite to calm down.
Since waking up from a deep sleep, her appearance has become more and more attractive. Perhaps it is a change in temperament, or a bonus from some talents, so that she herself is a little distressed. Being beautiful is a good thing,
But having too good looks can also bring a lot of unnecessary troubles.
In fact, Angus was a little confused before, but now he is completely relieved. No wonder this girl wants to cover up her appearance.
"I was presumptuous." Angus asked to apologize for his rudeness just now.
"I will transfer all the shares in my chamber of commerce to you. I just ask that you can protect the mother and child until the child gets married and starts a family."
"The Carites Chamber of Commerce is also quite famous in Verga. I own 60% of its shares. This reward will not disappoint you."
"...Okay, I promise you."
If she didn't have a mission, Lorraine Hill wouldn't want to get into this muddy water. She doesn't use extraordinary means to make money as an ordinary person. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not an unsolvable problem for her. As long as she accumulates
With a start-up capital and the marketing methods in her memory, it was not difficult to reduce the dimensionality and hit the still primitive business environment. But since someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy, she did not want to deliberately take shortcuts and avoid detours.
Hearing the girl's promising voice, Angus finally felt relieved, then asked Seres to take out a piece of contract paper and began to write his suicide note.
The contract paper is a special paper with anti-counterfeiting effect. After writing it, it will be condensed automatically by activating a special spell and cannot be modified again.
After writing, Angus pressed his handprint, personal seal, and then dropped a drop of blood on it, and recited a short spell. Finally, the contract paper glowed faintly, and the blood dried and solidified, forming a flower.
Painted night flower pattern.
"If you go back with my housekeeper and maid, and then take this suicide note, you can prove without any flaws that you are my heir, and thus obtain all my property."
Lorraine Hill took the suicide note, then picked up the pen and prepared to sign his name.
"Should I sign under my real name or your daughter's name?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it is written by you and can make the contract react."
"Okay." Then the girl wrote a name, which was neither Elaine nor Lorraine Hill. She didn't want to be someone else, but she also didn't want this incident to affect her life after it was over, so she wrote another imaginary name.
