Chapter 5 Madam, you don’t want to either...
“Oh my god, why do I have to come to such a remote place to suffer! It’s so boring!”
In the convoy of three carriages, There was an angry complaint coming from the carriage in the middle.
"Veston, be quiet!" Denise, who was sitting in the first carriage, shouted loudly, and then sighed for her little son.
The ticking sound of horseshoes changed from clear to dull, and Denise knew that Eagle Town had arrived.
There was a bang and the carriage shook. The maid Freya quickly helped her hostess: "Old Oujin, if you don't know how to drive, there are many people in the city who can!"
The coachman explained in a panic. Said: "I'm sorry, the horse's hoof got stuck in the mud. I swear, there were no holes here when I came here three months ago!"
Denise stopped Freya with her eyes. About to blurt out the complaint, he opened the curtain on the car door, and immediately there was a foul smell, and flies and unknown flying insects were flying everywhere: "Oujin, stop the car."
"Madam..." Realizing what Denise wanted to do, a trace of resistance flashed in Freya's eyes: "Let's wait in the car for a while."
Denise ignored her.
"Mom, the ground is too dirty. My new calfskin boots will be soaked!" Vesdon complained loudly.
With the help of Freya, Denise got out of the car and glanced back at Vesdon, who suddenly fell silent.
Although she held up her skirt and tried to walk on dry roads, Denise's skirt was still inevitably contaminated with sewage. The dilapidation of Eagle Town was fully visible to her, and her mood became worse and worse.
The houses are low and dilapidated, and the gravel pavement has become bumpy due to lack of maintenance. What collects on the street is not rainwater, but dirty water from washing clothes, which of course is also mixed with wet or dry excrement.
That’s why flies and mosquitoes are so active.
Most of the residents walking on both sides of the street were unkempt, their hair was as messy as weeds, their threadbare linen clothes were patched, and many of them didn't even have shoes.
Occasionally, they would cast their gazes at the team. There was no envy or jealousy there, only deep numbness.
A town lifeless and lifeless.
As early as five years ago, Eagle Town was not like this. However, as the lease agreement came into effect, Goldsmith Town was divided to Viscount Luke, and without commercial support, Eagle Town became It declined rapidly.
It is not easy to feed the more than 800 people in the town with just a few hundred acres of cultivated land, not to mention the taxes they must pay to the baron.
If this town is left to her to manage, Denise is confident that she can feed the residents within five years, and that after ten years, everyone can wear new clothes.
Now she still has this confidence, she only needs to solve a small trouble, and this trouble has now appeared in front of her.
Raven was wearing an ill-fitting dress, with Gordon and Eric standing behind him, with a warm and false smile unique to aristocrats: "Oh, my dear aunt, you are finally back. ”
He bowed in a very gentlemanly manner, squinted his eyes, and carefully examined the shrewd businessman.
She is thirty-four years old this year, but perhaps due to wealth, she does not look older than the maid next to her.
Wearing a round fedora hat on her head, her long black hair was pressed down. The thin black gauze failed to cover her beauty. Instead, it made her round and round face like an oval whiter. Although her eyebrows were smoothed, her eyebrows were smooth. Those big and energetic eyes always give people a sharp impression when they look around.
The most eye-catching thing is the plump lips, with an amazing curvature, which perfectly blends with this face, making it look majestic, elegant and sexy.
If Lux is a pure lily without worldliness, then Denise is a vigorously growing wild rose, always seducing the deepest desire to conquer in men's hearts.
90 points.
Raven is observing Denise, and Denise is observing Raven.
He is tall and straight, but not too bloated. His black hair draped over his shoulders looks neat and chic. His strong eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and eyes like black crystals together form three-dimensional and strong facial features. He is indeed a handsome man that no woman can refuse.
But this did not make her have any good impression of the man in front of her, not only because she had already heard about Raven's deeds, but also because she was the biggest stumbling block for her son to inherit the title.
Even though she was extremely reluctant, she still stretched out her right hand.
Fortunately, Raven did not come up to shake hands rudely, but gently bent down, held her three fingers in the palm of his hand, and gently pecked them with his lips.
The perfect hand kiss.
But immediately Denise frowned and her breathing became slightly short.
Because not only did Raven stick out his tongue, his little finger was also gently itching in the palm of her hand.
This flirting technique is too sophisticated and skillful.
Is he really only twenty years old?
"Okay, Mr. Raven." Denise took out her hand and suppressed her disgust in her heart: "Let's get down to business quickly."
Raven scolded the body's instinct in his heart and said with a smile: "Of course, but before that, do you want to change your clothes?"
"No need." Denise thought After considering all the possibilities, he said: "I don't want to stay too long this time."
"I understand, please come with me."
Leaven walked in front, and soon, a group of people The person came to the living room.
The two sat down at both ends of the long table. Just as Raven was about to speak, he heard a crunching sound and a plump figure landed on a chair between the two.
Turning around, I saw a meatball that was at least 1.7 meters tall and weighed at least 200 kilograms embedded in the chair. His short, medium-parted black hair was greasy on his head. His face was as round as a balloon, and his neck was already full. Out of sight.
If it weren’t for a few pimples on his face, Raven would have thought it was Donald who had faked his body.
A crack opened on the balloon: "What are you looking at? You rude guy."
Raven turned to Denise: "This is...?"
"Veston, your brother," Denise said.
"Oh, it turns out it's him." Raven was a little shocked.
With this physique, you told me he was thirteen years old! ?
Looking at the stiff expression on Raven's face, Denise felt somewhat embarrassed: "Wesdon, my mother and brother have something to talk about. You go out to play for a while first."
< br>Vesdon’s facial features were twisted together. Although he was not yet an adult, he He was also a man, and he didn't like the way Raven looked at his mother: "But, mom..."
"Huh?" Denise turned her head, and Vesdon was immediately discouraged. Pulling himself out of the chair and walking out angrily, Freya quickly followed.
Raven gave Eric a look, and the latter understood and followed Vesdon.
A hint of surprise arose in Denise's heart - why was Eric so obedient to Raven?
Soon only Raven, Denise and Old Gordon were left in the room.
Denise asked: "How did my poor husband lose his life?"
"That is an unfortunate tragedy." Raven sighed: "Donald My uncle really cared about the construction and development of the territory. In order to make Eagle Town great again, he did not hesitate to stay up all night reading and processing paperwork, and finally collapsed from exhaustion."
"He was actually aware of his physical discomfort, so he invited Miss Lux, the priest of Eagle Town, to help him treat him, but... but..."
Raven held two slices of onions in his hand. , close to his eyes, barely squeezed out a few tears: "But still come It was too late. When he was dying, he held my hand and told me that I must inherit the glory of the Griffith family and continue to run the Eagle Territory!”
Denise’s lips turned pale after hearing this! Twitching, at this moment, even she had to admire Raven's acting and storytelling abilities.
Care about the construction and development of your territory? Do you care so much about Eagle Town?
Furthermore, the Eagle Territory has been almost dismembered now. Even if he wanted to deal with it, he probably wouldn’t have much to deal with!
The most irritating thing is inheriting the glory of the Griffith family - when did Donald care about such a thing?
You have only been together for three days!
But Denise will not struggle with this aspect. Since Raven has used this rhetoric, he must have made thorough preparations to ensure that the lie will not be exposed.
She decided to get to the heart of the matter.
Just sniffing, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Oh, my poor Donald... As a wife, I failed to share his worries and solve his problems, and failed to accompany him in the last moments of his life. It’s really my biggest regret to have him!”
"So, to make up for my regret, can I take a look at his body?"
Raven's brows jumped slightly - this is really a difficult opponent to deal with.
But he was also prepared: "I'm afraid this is not very convenient...Uncle Donald died of a sudden illness. He left a will before his death, saying that he hoped everyone would remember him when he was at his healthiest and did not want to tolerate his illness. To relatives and friends."
Gordon took out a piece of parchment: "This is Mr. Donald's will, please read it."
Taking the parchment, Denise's eyes gradually faded. Become somber.
What was written on the parchment was simple.
Also outrageous.
In addition to what Raven said, the largest part is the praise of Raven, describing what an upright, kind, fair, brave, and wise young man Raven is, and Donald He willingly handed over his territory to him for inheritance.
There is only one sentence mentioned about Denise - let Raven take good care of them.
A hint of anger arose in her heart, but it was suppressed by Denise in the blink of an eye.
The will was undoubtedly drafted by Gordon, and the old butler who had served the Griffith family for forty years completely sided with Raven.
First Eric, and now old Gordon.
What method did Lei Wen use to recruit these two people under his command in just a few days?
Whoosh.
The document was thrown lightly on the table, and Gordon showed a hint of dissatisfaction: "Madam, what are you doing..."
"This suicide note is a forgery." Denise said categorically: "My copy is the real one."
She opened her handbag and showed a volume of documents.
Another will.
Lei Wen had a hint of shock in his eyes.
The contents of this will are more detailed and the entries are clearer. The core content is that regardless of whether other blood relatives are found, Vesdon will be the first heir to the Griffith family.
"Madam, this suicide note in your hand is fake!" Gordon pushed the monocle and said: "I drafted all the documents of the Griffith family."
"Everything has exceptions." Denise said without giving in. "If Mr. Gordon and Raven still insist on the authenticity of the suicide note in your hands, then we might as well go to the Noble Council to apply for an appraisal."< br>
Leaven’s brows jumped slightly.
The killing move, the killing move that seals the throat with one sword.
The so-called "Council of Nobles" is an institution in the Keynesian Empire that specializes in handling aristocratic affairs. The succession of titles of lower-level nobles such as viscounts and barons will also be reviewed by this institution.
Raven didn't know much about this organization, but judging from his twenty years of experience in Meng'en City, there was no problem in the world that gold coins couldn't solve.
The problem is, Raven doesn't have any money, but Denise obviously does, and a lot of it.
While feeling deeply that Denise was difficult to deal with, Raven was also thankful that he had drafted a will in advance, otherwise he would have been completely passive now!
At least now, the development of the matter is still under his control: "Okay, the news of Uncle Donald's death has been sent to Monen City two days ago. I think there will be someone within a month at most. Come to Eagle Castle to confirm the situation.”
“I hope you enjoy your stay in Eagle Castle during this time.”
"Then let's wait and see." Denise took back the suicide note: "Before that, I need to meet with my husband. Where is his coffin?"
"What we have in our hands is "Uncle Donald's real will," Raven said, "He didn't want himself to..."
"Just go and get his coffin." "Stay a little while." Denise leaned forward slightly and said forcefully: "As his widow, isn't this a requirement?"
Denise was wearing a black dress and was quite wrapped up. Rigorous, this time leaning forward immediately highlighted the white neck, and the extended arc made people want to peek at the scenery inside.
Leaven withdrew his gaze: "Of course you have such a right, please come with me."
Donald's coffin was parked in the prayer room. Denise refused Raven's request to accompany him and walked into it alone.
The door to the prayer room was closed, and Raven stretched out his fingers, feeling that his palms were smooth and cold, which were traces of sweat.
Meng City is quite far away from the Eagle Territory, at least half a month's journey away. Donald's death happened two days ago. At that time, Denise was still on the road. Raven thought that his letter The suicide note could catch Denise off guard, but she didn't expect that the other party was already prepared!
Denise should have known the secret that all men in the Griffith family would die young. She had prepared this will early in the morning and carried it with her at all times, just to prevent accidents!
This level of preparedness far exceeded Raven's expectations.
What a formidable opponent.
"Sir Raven, Master Vesdon has returned to his room." Eric walked over and asked in a low voice: "Why are you bringing her here now? This is not in line with our plan."< br>
Raven replied in a low voice: "Denise took out another letter Book."
"What!" Eric was shocked: "Then let's tell the truth now..."
"Shut up!" Gordon glared at him dissatisfied. : "You just need to carry out Lord Raven's order."
Eric said: "But..."
This shows the difference between Eric and Gordon. No matter how clever they are, Eric, who was forced to be loyal, is still here. There was a wavering at this critical moment.
“Honesty is indeed a beautiful quality.” Raven had to appease the only extraordinary person in Eagle Castle: “But that also means that we have to entrust our future to Denise. "
Seeing that Eric still didn't understand, Raven sighed and whispered: "Imagine if we didn't. If you plan in advance and prepare to talk to Denise openly, what will happen?”
Before Eric could answer, Raven continued: “She will take out the will and slap it on my face?” Face, it doesn’t matter if I don’t admit it, as long as the noble council recognizes it, then the will will be true and I will lose my inheritance rights.”
"Old Gordon is a steward who has served for forty years. No matter who manages the Eagle Territory, he can't do without his help, but Eric, you are different."
"You are extraordinary. You have not gained Denise's trust and are now on my side. If I lose my title, Denise will replace you as soon as she takes charge of Eagle Castle."
" Are you a grown man? When the time comes, are you going to cry and beg her to give you a bite of food and not to drive you away?"
Eric's expression changed. He was a typical Nord who never wanted to kowtow to a woman: "Lord Raven, what should we do next?"
"Start the second plan." Raven said, "I'm going to have to work hard for you these few nights. Always pay attention to my news."
Eric left, looking at his back, Raven's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Lord Raven." Gordon whispered: "After this incident, are you going to..."
"Mr. Gordon, you are testing me again. Raven shook his head and said: "Eric is a good warrior. There is no need to doubt his loyalty and ability, but he is not convinced enough by me."
"The art of controlling people lies in it." Due to the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, I only have a weak stick in my hand, but no sweet and delicious carrots. Naturally, I cannot tame this 'war beast', but I believe that when he is loyal to me wholeheartedly, he can also be in my hand. The most reliable weapon. "
Click, the door lock sounded, the heavy oak door opened, and Denise walked out of the prayer room.
"Aunt Denise." Raven bowed and saluted: "What did you and Uncle Donald say?"
A smile flashed across Denise's lips: "Nothing, just talking about the relationship between husband and wife. It’s just what I’m saying.”
“I am you after all. My aunt, I hope there are no secrets between the two of us."
Leaven's eyes showed just the right amount of surprise: "Of course"
Denise Tingting walked away quietly, Raven. Walking into the prayer room, the scene here seems to have not changed.
Donald's coffin rests here, made of oak, with the Griffith family's coat of arms painted on it - an eagle soaring high and fighting a dragon.
He knelt down and stretched his palms under the coffin. A bit of sawdust mixed with soil stuck to his palm: "Denise, you really did it anyway."
When Denise When she returned to her room, Freya was already waiting here. When she saw the former, she immediately stood up, smoothed her somewhat messy skirt with her hands, and took a deep breath to try to cover up the blush on her cheeks.
"Madam!"
Denise frowned slightly: "Has Vesdon come?"
"Master Vesdon and I made some little jokes..." Freya thought carefully about her words: "But don't worry, madam, he didn't do anything excessive."
Denise didn't agree with this. Feeling surprised.
Vesdon is the only man in the family, and any maid dreams of climbing into his bed. Even if she cannot become the future mistress, another "Denise", she can still get many benefits.
Her eyes fell on Freya through the reflection of the mirror.
Twenty years old, with slightly messy red hair, smooth and firm skin, sweet dimples when smiling, and a few cute light red freckles on the cheekbones. Youthful and lively appearance.
Very few men can refuse such a woman.
Leaven is even more impossible.
“I know you didn’t mean to seduce Vesdon, you just wanted to test whether your charm is attractive enough.”
Denise’s voice was calm, but Freya Becoming extremely nervous, she quickly lowered her head: "Madam...I..."
"I am now There is a better way to help you verify this." Denise opened and closed her red lips gently, hugged Freya's shoulders, and blew her warm breath on her ears, making her face blush even more. : "Seduce Raven, Raven Griffith, and ask no questions, and tell me everything you hear."
Layers of chicken skin began to reappear on Freya's neck: "But Madam..."
"Go, Raven will be the heir of the Griffith family." Denise stared at the mirror. She looked into her eyes and said: "If you can be pregnant with his child, then it will be a good thing for you and me."
Freya nodded and walked out in confusion, but Denise took her arm: "Don't worry, I'll change your clothes."
Two quarters of an hour. Afterwards, Freya left the room with a hint of hope and ambition in her eyes, just like Denise had when she first went to meet Phaedrus.
The difference is that Denise knew very well what she wanted and what she had at that time, while Freya didn't understand anything.
But that doesn't matter. If Freya really looked like her, Denise would never use her in such a place.
The door was closed, Denise took off her hat and hung it on the coat rack, then reached out and unbuttoned her collar.
The long skirt fell to the ground, and two soft jade feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings were pulled out from it.
Denise looked at herself in the mirror, turned slightly, and showed a confident smile on her lips.
Although she is thirty-four years old, her skin is still smooth and firm, with a mature and voluptuous look that a young girl cannot match.
This body was worthy of the title of Baron, and she was ready to take over the territory.
Donald's coffin is empty, and combined with the contents of Raven's will, it is obvious that there is something fishy about Donald's death, and this will be the key to her holding the entire territory in her hands.
"Ah..." Her white fingers touched her shoulders and untied a belt, and the turbulent waves immediately surged:
"You are just a fool, you think this is a small thing. You can use any means to cover up your sins He is really unworthy of publicity.”
She had deliberately used words to hint to Raven, just to alert him and let him know that she had discovered the secret of the empty coffin. She believed that Raven would definitely do it next. Take action.
And that will be the best time for her to take action.
At this time, according to Denise's instructions, Freya came outside Raven's bedroom.
Her mood was very complicated, nervous, excited, and a little bit expectant.
Denise asked her to seduce Raven, and this was something she had been looking forward to for a long time - Raven was much more handsome than Vesdon, and at the same time, he was also the Baron's number one Successor.
If she could climb into his bed and even become pregnant with his child, then she might also become a baroness.
The real Baroness! Not a continuation!
When she thought of the usually aloof Mrs. Denise groveling in front of her, she felt a little hot in her heart. Boom, boom, boom.
Hearing the noise, Raven, who had been prepared for a long time, opened the door. Even though he was experienced in the battlefield, his heart skipped a beat.
Originally Freya only had about 60 points, but with Denise's dressing up, she easily broke through the 70-point mark.
The plain white lace dress makes her temperament more pure and sweet, and the exposed tender lotus root-like forearms and half of the smooth collarbone are even more fascinating.
Paired with the delicate bow on her head, it is simply a big gift.
I thought Denise would come to the door in person, but I didn’t expect that she only sent one servant.
It seems that she does not really regard herself as an opponent, but this is good, as it will make it easier for her to launch her plan.
"Lord Raven..." Freya held the hem of her skirt with both hands and lowered her eyes: "My lady ordered me to be your personal maid."
Raven put aside the dissatisfaction in his heart, walked forward, took Freya's little hand and squeezed it gently: "How close is it?"
There is no reason not to eat the cake delivered to your door.
And he asked his second brother, who nodded.
Freya's face was as red as an apple: "...As you wish, my lord."
Two hours have passed.
Raven jumped up from the bed refreshed, smiled softly at Freya who was sleeping with sweat on her face, and walked outside while fastening the buttons of her clothes.
After he left, Freya opened her eyes, with the flush still on her face. She pushed aside the wet clothes sticking to her forehead, gently lifted the quilt and sat up. This set of actions alone made her frown tightly and her breathing become heavier.
This was not her first time, but Raven's ferocity far exceeded her expectations and almost crushed her.
“Damn guy.” Looking at the dried sheep intestines scattered on the ground, Freya spat lightly.
Her ambition was stopped by these thin intestines.
She stepped on the carpet with bare feet and felt along the wall to the door. The sound flowed into her ears along with the sound of the wind.
"Lord Raven, you have finally come out. The pit has been dug. It is in the abandoned mine in the back mountain." That was Eric's voice.
"No one discovered it, right?" Raven asked.
“Don’t worry, Goyle and Link are both loyal and good guys, and they will never leak anything out.”
“Very good, I’ll go there in person right now, you can help me Watch the gate carefully, there must be no tail.”
The sound of two footsteps, one light and one heavy, gradually faded away. When the sound disappeared completely, Freya quietly left the room.
The castle is very big and has many passages. Soon, she returned to Denise's room.
The latter was not surprised by her arrival: "How is the situation?"
"He is simply a beast!" Freya deliberately showed off her charm: "I have never I passed such a brave man without stopping for two whole hours, and I thought I was going to die on the bed!”
The strong smell of hormones exuding from her body made Denise’s face darken, and her heart turned dark. He became increasingly dissatisfied.
A woman's body is a very good weapon, but if a woman only owns this one weapon and is proud of it, then it is too sad and too stupid.
However, such a stupid woman is just right for the equally despicable Raven.
"I don't want to know about your affairs."
"Sorry, madam." Freya put away her little thoughts, and then repeated what she heard.
"Oh, what a shameless guy." Denise threw a pair of leather gloves to Freya: "Put them on."
Freya was stunned: "Madam, this..."
"Put it on." Denise said coldly.
Freya has completed her mission, and now it’s time to use her remaining energy.
It is very likely that Raven killed Donald. This kind of scandal will bring shame to the Griffith family.
Denise did not want scandal to appear in her territory. She only wanted Raven to give up his inheritance rights, and at that time, Freya could just be used as a bargaining chip to appease him.
A few minutes later, a rope hung down from the second floor of the castle and landed next to a carriage. The figures of Denise and Freya fell one after another along the rope.
Denise had already put on a hunting outfit suitable for activities at this time. She sat on the shaft of the carriage, and Freya sat next to her. With a crisp crack of the whip, the carriage slowly began to move. Drive towards the back mountain.
Not long after, the shadow of another carriage appeared in front of them.
A wheel flew out and fell into the grass, the carriage rolled over on its side, and a huge sack rolled to the ground. Next to it stood Raven's figure who seemed to be at a loss.
Hu——
The torch lit up in Denise's hand, and the light immediately caught Raven's attention.
"Oh, it turns out to be Aunt Denise." Raven's face turned unnaturally pale: "How come you are here so late?"
Denise Pass the torch into Freya's hands.
Under the firelight, Denise's figure was clearly revealed to Raven's eyes.
During the day, she wore a decent dress that didn't show anything special, but now this hunting suit perfectly revealed her figure.
A leather half-length jacket is draped over the body, revealing clear collarbones. Inside is a very close-fitting cotton shirt. Even though it is tied up with clothes, it still cannot hide the turbulent texture.
D+
Perhaps due to years of abstinence, her waist has slimmed down alarmingly. The brown leather pants clearly outline the curves of her waist and hips, and her two plump and powerful thighs Keep your pants tight.
Denise felt a sense of pride in her heart. It seemed that her charm was not comparable to that of a little girl like Freya. In a good mood, she said gracefully: "I want to know more about you. Why does time appear here? This What exactly is in this sack?”
“It’s just some kitchen waste.” Raven took a step aside calmly and separated Denise’s sight: “I miss you. Wouldn’t be interested.”
Denise flipped her wrist, and a sharp dagger appeared in her hand. This was an enchanted dagger she bought for two hundred gold coins. It was as thin as a leaf, but extremely sharp. She had used it to knock down several people with evil intentions. , many of whom are stronger than Raven.
"Oh oh oh..." Raven spread his hands and slowly stepped aside: "Swinging with swords is not what a lady like you should do."
Dan Nisi smiled contemptuously: "A man like you is not qualified to judge me."
She knelt down and smelled a trace of putrid smell. This smell was not unfamiliar to her - it was the smell of corpses. .
This reminded her of Phaedrus, her first husband.
In order to fully accept his legacy, she laid the man's body on the bed for seventeen days before putting it in the coffin. The stench at that time was much stronger than it is now.
But she didn't dislike the smell.
Phaedrus's death means that she has finally become a real businessman; and Donald's body will make her a real noble.
The wife of a noble is not necessarily a noble, but the mother of a noble must be.
"Ms. Denise." Raven's voice was surprisingly calm and elegant at this moment: "I advise you to think twice before you act. If you really see what's inside, it will be too late to get out. ”
"Is this your last bluff?" Denise said with a sneer on her lips.
Without even a sound, the dagger in her hand had already cut open the pocket, and an arm fell out of it.
The light was very dim, so Freya put the torch up without Denise's instructions.
In the dark night, Denise's originally dilated pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
What was lying in the bag was indeed Donald's body. His head was twisted like a trampled doll, and his body was so soft that it seemed like he had no bones. The most terrifying thing was that the skin all over his body showed In a translucent state, blood vessels and bones are all clearly visible, and the heart in the chest is even beating vigorously!
Evil God! Dark magic!
These two words jumped into Denise's mind, making her heart beat loudly, and she also realized a fact - she had been fooled!
“Ah——!!!!”
The torch fell to the ground, and Freya’s ear-piercing scream sounded, echoing in the mountain road.
Lights lit up in the originally dark castle.
Denise frowned fiercely, walked behind Freya, and gently hugged her shoulders.
As if she had found a safe haven, Freya shrank into Denise's arms, but she was still shouting: "Church... I want to go to the church to report... Mrs. Denise, I - "
The sound stopped suddenly, leaving only the flying blood and the hissing sound of the trachea being cut.
With a pop, Freya's body fell to the ground. Denise's face was pale and cold, and she gently wiped the blade of the knife on her deerskin gloves.
Pah, pah, pah.
Raven clapped her hands rhythmically: "Aunt Denise, your decisiveness and calmness far exceeded my expectations."
"To each other." Denise said: "I didn't expect it either. , you, the most despicable gangster, actually have such a scheming mind."
"Oh, oh, Aunt Denise, if I were you, I wouldn't speak like this. Raven walked up to Denise, hooked her chin with his index finger and raised it gently: "After all, I am the winner now."
Under the moonlight, Denise's face looked particularly pale. , but his eyes were still stubborn: "What do you want?"
"Madam, you don't want your husband's collusion with the evil god to be known to the Holy See, right?"
Raven put his hands on Denise's shoulders, went around behind her, put his chin into her shoulder, held her tightly in his arms, and took a deep breath: "If this happens, then you will be Sponsor of the person who communicates with the evil god, you and your son will be tied to the stake, and the industry you have worked so hard to build will be destroyed!"
The two are almost completely attached to each other.
“And I will be the hero who kills the evil god and exposes a major cult incident!”
Denise’s body became a little weak.
She is not a stoic person, but she has always been very sensible.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and ambitions will expand with the expansion of status and wealth. Once she has a man, there is no guarantee that the industry she has worked so hard will not fall into the hands of others.
She loves wealth more than men.
So even though she married Donald, she kept a distance deliberately.
All factors combined, she has stayed away from men for more than ten years.
And Raven's skills are so proficient that she knows this body better than she does.
Denise drove her trembling legs, managed to take two steps forward, turned around, and asked the question again: "What do you want?"
"It's very simple, a little compensation. That's all." Raven didn't want to let go of this tempting hunter. He stood side by side with Denise: "Your husband has dragged the future of the entire Griffith family into the abyss for his own selfish desires. I am just wiping your butt."
Pop With a sound, Raven patted her gently and was caught by it. Shocked by the softness and elasticity, he almost wanted to change the expected conditions, but reason still defeated his instinct. He faced Denise and rubbed his fingers gently: "I just want some real, golden compensation. ”
After The reporter bit her soft plump lips carefully with her moist teeth, suppressing the humiliation and unwillingness in her eyes, and tried her best to keep her tone calm: "How much do you want?"
Leaven raised a finger: "One thousand gold coins."
"Impossible." Denise decisively refused: "This amount is enough to drain the Federo Chamber of Commerce's cash flow, and all I will have is bankruptcy."
Torches have been lit at the foot of the mountain, illuminating the three This sturdy figure is none other than Eric, Goyle, and Link, the only three guards in the castle.
“It’s almost time.” Raven said with a smile: “If the three of them come here, then you may have to accompany poor Miss Freya.”
Denise glanced at Freya, who was still staring, and sighed quietly.
She had now roughly guessed Raven's plan - and was deeply shocked by the madness and meticulousness of it.
Donald is suspected of communicating with evil spirits, and anyone who sees his body can draw that conclusion.
Raven was broke, and Eagle Castle didn't have much savings. It was impossible to cover up the subsequent review by the Noble Council on his own. There was no way to inherit the title.
At this time, the best way is to be honest with her, ask for a hush money from her, and give up the baron's inheritance rights.
If she were Raven, she would definitely do this, because this is the safest way.
But Raven chose another method - deliberately exposing various flaws to make her think that Donald was killed by Raven, and then making every step of the way to let her find Donald's body in the wild.
The advantage of doing this is that you can completely extract Raven and twist the facts into another picture——
The country people are short-sighted and did not notice Donald's abnormality. In order to destroy the evidence, Denise robbed him overnight. He took the body and wanted to dispose of it, but was caught red-handed by Raven.
During this process, she chose to resist to the death, and was killed on the spot by Raven "as a last resort".
What a reasonable story.
But the risks of this plan are also huge. If she is not fooled, then when the review of the Noble Council comes, Donald's body will be discovered, and Raven and Old Gordon will become Donald's biggest Collusion.
In that case, if Raven didn't want to be burned on the rack, he would take the initiative to put the handle into her hands and become her obedient pet from then on.
But there is no if in the world.
Denise admitted that she underestimated her enemy and thought she was in control of the situation, but seriously underestimated Raven's madness and greed.
Especially, she did not expect that a humble gangster would be so obsessed with a title!
Now, she must pay the price for underestimating her enemy.
"Five hundred gold coins." Denise said: "The most I can give you is five hundred gold coins. This is all the amount I brought back this time, and you have to promise me that after inheriting the title, you will retain Vesdon's inheritance rights. !”
“If I kill you, I can still get these five hundred gold coins.” Raven said.
Looking at the approaching fire, Denise became more and more calm. A big mistake had been made. What she had to do now was to stop the loss: "If you do this, my property will be destroyed." If the church confiscates it, you won’t get a single copper, and the title of the Griffith family will most likely be taken away.”
"Five hundred gold coins or the title of Baron, which is more important, I think you know in your heart." She handed the dagger to Raven, her eyes becoming calmer: "Either kill me, or agree to my conditions."< br>
Raven took the dagger, played with it in his hand and pinned it to his belt,
"I agree to your conditions." Raven held a parchment scroll and an ink pad in his hand: "Then please leave your fingerprints on this document."
Document The content was very different from what Denise expected. It described in detail her support for Donald's "evil god sacrifice" and shared the fruits of the sacrifice.
Denise didn’t hesitate and pressed her fingerprint directly.
This means that she and Vesdon have given up their fight for the inheritance of the Griffith family.
Leaven showed a satisfied smile, formed a ring with two fingers and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly blew a sharp whistle.
The fire on the mountain road paused for a moment, then turned back.
Leaven stretched out his hand with undisguised aggression in his eyes: "I hope the two of us can work together happily from now on."
"After all, we still have to face it together. Trouble, isn’t it?”
Denise's beautiful eyes showed fatigue and disgust: "Always remember, I am your aunt."
"The days are long." Raven smiled: "If the two of us communicate in depth from time to time, Maybe I’ll remember it.”
Denise left without looking back.
The night wind whistled by, Raven's eyes fell on Freya's body, he brushed the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and sighed with a hint of fear: "What a difficult opponent."
To be honest, Denise's shrewdness and calmness far exceeded his expectations, especially the will that had been prepared long ago, which caught him off guard.
Fortunately, she despised herself; fortunately, she conquered Eric early.
Otherwise, why would he want Denise to surrender?
Now, the carefully crafted trap finally paid off, and the biggest obstacle on Raven's path to inheriting the title was finally removed, along with a gift of five hundred gold coins.
After a short rest, Raven began to clean up the scene, loaded the body into Denise's carriage, and headed for the abandoned mine.
The hole had already been dug, but it was not done by servants, but by Eric himself.
After burying Donald's body, Raven drove the carriage back to the castle.
When he returned to his room, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face. An exquisite rosewood box was placed on his table.
Walk up and open it gently. The smooth surface reflects the candlelight, filling the whole room with golden light!
In the box, piles of ten gold coins lay quietly there, exuding fatal temptation.
One, two, three, four...
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven...
Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty...
A whole fifty piles, five hundred gold coins!
Five hundred gold coins! !
It is enough for a person living in the city of Meng'en to live a lifetime of delicious food, wine, and debauchery every day!
After five years of hard work in Meng'en City, Raven only managed to accumulate a fortune of more than a dozen gold coins.
Even if he doesn’t eat, drink, or gamble, these five hundred gold coins are enough for him to make two hundred years!
The most important thing is that the [God-given Potion], which can awaken the seeds of life and advance to extraordinary levels, costs three hundred gold coins per serving.
Extraordinary!
Hundred in the underground society of Meng En City, Raven has seen too many shocks brought by the extraordinary, and he also knows the gap between the extraordinary and ordinary people.
That is another kind of power that is different from the title, which can make people fear and control other people's life and death!
It is said that high-level extraordinary people can achieve the goal of "killing the enemy at a very close distance!"
This is a power that Raven never dared to hope for before, but now, he has this opportunity in his hands!
"Uncle Donald, you really left me a good legacy."
Raven touched the box with both hands, closed it with a bang, and then pushed it hard Carried to bed.
It is so comfortable to sleep with gold coins in your arms!
Just a little bit panicked.
Early the next morning, before Raven woke up, Gordon knocked on his door:
“Lord Raven, Priest Lux is awake.”
