Chapter 225 Key Testimony
"Sir Carloman, do you remember me?"
Ilea said to the man in front of her with a pair of gray-brown ears and a slender beard.
The latter raised his head timidly after hearing this, and his bloodshot eyes stayed on the female lord's face for about three or four seconds before he recognized the girl.
"You are...Ilea, Ruth's daughter?!"
"Yes, it's me. On my eighth birthday, you took me riding a horse on the grass outside Teacup Castle."
"Oh my God, it's really you! Ilea, were you also kidnapped by those villains?" Carloman's eyes widened and he looked at Thomas standing next to the female lord with some fear.
"This is my guard captain, Knight Thomas." Ilea gave a brief introduction to the two of them.
However, after seeing the weasel emblem on the knight's armor clearly, Carloman was at a loss again.
"Oh, this batch of armor originally belonged to the Emmanuel family. In order to thank me for getting rid of the black dragon and avenging their family, they gave this batch of armor to me. I haven't had time to change the pattern on it. Chapter." The female lord explained.
"So you saved me, Ilea!" Carloman's eyes filled with excitement, and he stood up tremblingly from the ground, intending to give Miss Rabbit a big hug, but was stopped by Thomas.
In addition, Carloman also noticed that the girl calmly took half a step back.
The owner of Acorn Castle's joy after successfully escaping from trouble suddenly dissipated for the most part, and he smelled something bad.
"Do you know anything about the origins of those who kidnapped you?" Ilea continued to ask.
Carloman shook his head, "I don't know. They suddenly appeared when I went hunting. There were seven of them, all with their faces covered. They tied me up without saying a word and killed my attendants."

"After that, I was captured by them. These days, they have been using various cruel methods to torture me, and they even chopped off my right hand."
As Carloman spoke, he stretched out his severed arm. The upper part of the wrist was empty, and the broken area was wrapped in a strip of cloth, which had been dyed brown by blood.
"Then do you know why those people kidnapped you?"
"What else could it be...these desperadoes are just after money." The owner of Acorn Castle's eyes flashed.
"And you insist on refusing to give them money, even at the expense of your right hand?" Miss Rabbit said, "Why didn't I know you took money so seriously?"
"They didn't give me a chance to choose. They chopped off my right hand right away."
Recalling that nightmare experience, Carloman closed his eyes in pain. It took him a while to calm down his breathing, and at the same time he thanked the girl again.
"You saved me, my child, from those villains. I don't know how to repay you. In addition, I also heard about your successful slaying of the dragon. It was a very remarkable feat. If Russ is still alive, he will definitely I’ll be proud of you.”
After a pause, he looked around again, "Where are we now, in the green field? They put me in a wine barrel before, and I couldn't see the outside scene at all."
"You are in Rock Snow City now." The female lord said lightly, "By the way, I would like to remind you that David's cavalry is just two streets away."
Carloman's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, but then he squeezed out a smile on his face, "Yanxue City, that's great. We are protected by the guards of the Figuerola family. We will be safe."
< br>
"I am indeed safe, but you are not necessarily safe."
Carloman laughed dryly and pretended to be stupid, "I don't know what you are talking about, Ilea... Well, can I leave now? I need to go to the Silver Moon Church to find a doctor to treat my injuries."
"Please." Ilea quickly stepped away from the door.
Carloman couldn't believe that he could get out of trouble so easily. He stood up tentatively and walked out of the room with some staggering steps.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, the female lord's voice sounded from behind him again, "You know what will happen to you when David finds you, right?"
Carloman's body was shaken.
"As soon as you leave this hotel, David's informants staying nearby will spot you immediately. We spent a lot of effort just getting you in."
Carloman's body trembled even more when he heard this. After a moment, he finally took back the foot he took out, turned around and said to the girl, "What exactly do you want?"
"An answer."
"What answer?"
"I already know that what happened in Acorn Castle more than half a year ago was not an accident, but a premeditated murder. I need you to tell me personally who ordered you to murder my father."
< br>
"I..." Carloman opened his mouth and trembled for a long time, but could not spit out a word.
"Tell me the name."
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Carloman obviously also knew that now, there is no point in making excuses. Maybe the group of people who kidnapped him before were also related to the Arias family.
"No, you killed my father. He regarded you as a close friend. I need to avenge my father."
"Impossible. If you know his identity, you will know that your revenge cannot be completed at all."
"That's my business." The female lord said.
"Then what good do I do? I will die regardless of whether I say it or not." Carloman said with a sad smile.
"If you tell me, you will at least feel better before you die, if you still feel a little bit guilty about murdering my father."
"…………"
Carloman seemed to be defeated by these words. He closed his eyes in pain again, covered his face with his remaining hand, and started sobbing.
"He forced me. The Figuerola family is the lord of the West, and that man is the next heir of the Figuerola family. He only had to use his mouth, and someone would do everything for him. They framed Hugo. , my only son, I had to do what he said.
"This is the only way to save Hugo. I don't want to murder your father. We are friends, but I can't disobey David's orders. I'm sorry, I'm too weak..."
Hearing Carloman finally spit out the name, Ilea also let out a long breath. She didn't feel much joy, but she felt relieved that she had traveled thousands of miles and was finally reaching the end.
Following the technique Professor Li Yu gave her, she pressed the pause button on the recorder and completely recorded the conversation between the two.
After that, he didn't even look at Carloman who was kneeling and crying in pain. He stepped directly over the latter and left the room without looking back. (End of chapter)
