Chapter 659 Late Night Visitor
"Ilkand is not a traitor," the visitor said.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"No, it's just based on my understanding of him. He may be a little reckless, but he is definitely not a villain who is afraid of death in times of crisis, let alone betraying his family and country."
"Marquis Cullen felt the same way, and then he cut off his head, and many people saw it." Miss Rabbit said, "Are you trying to say that these people are all lying?"
"I just think there might be something hidden behind it."
"So you came to me to ask me to help Ilkander prove his innocence? Do you have any misunderstanding about my position? Marquis Cullen is also my lord, a person I have always respected, and I I also want to avenge him.”
"No, I'm not here to find you for Ilkand this time. Can you ask your men to step back for a while? What I'm going to say next involves a big secret that only a few people know." The way.
"They are all reliable. At least they are more reliable than the people who come to visit me in the middle of the night and hide their heads."
Miss Rabbit paused, "And I can probably guess what the secret you want to say is - is Theodosius, the head of the Emmanuel family, dead?"
"You heard the rumors too."
"It's more than just a rumor." Miss Rabbit poured herself a glass of wine. "Lord Theodosius has not shown up for almost two years. He only issues orders through you, his housekeeper, Miss Garin.
"Normal people would feel abnormal. This is probably why you were so anxious to unite with Ilkander and even asked me and Prophet Merlin to endorse you."
These reasonings were all analyzed by Li Yu at the beginning. Now the female lord uses them directly, and the effect is quite good, directly silencing the opponent.
After a while, the latecomer took off the hood on his head, revealing his true face. Sure enough, he was the housekeeper beside Theodosius.
"Lord Theodosius was attacked by the giant dragon. He was seriously injured and passed away in less than a month."
"So you occupied the magpie's nest and issued orders by imitating Lord Theodosius's notes. I must admit that you are really brave."
"I'm not occupying the magpie's nest, I'm just taking back what belongs to me." The housekeeper said calmly.
"Forget it, you are just Theodosius's butler...how can you say such a thing shamelessly."
"I am his illegitimate daughter."
"What?" The female lord was stunned.
"I am the illegitimate daughter of Lord Theodosius. I am just unlucky and my bloodline is not obvious, so you can't see that I have the characteristics of the Emanuel family."
"This is too...ridiculous."
The housekeeper then moved her hair away, revealing a pair of triangular ears that were so small that they were almost invisible. "Otherwise, why do you think Lord Theodosius would trust me?"
This secret was indeed something that Miss Rabbit had not guessed. She took a moment to digest it before speaking again.
"Okay, Miss illegitimate daughter, I sympathize with your experience, but you should also know that your status cannot truly lead the Emmanuel family."
The housekeeper nodded, "So I chose to cooperate with Ilkander. His succession is lower than his two brothers, and his ambition is not that big.
"With my help, as long as we conceal the death of Lord Theodosius, we can control at least half of the family, and we did it."
"But now Ilkander has rebelled." Ilea reminded.
"That's right, although I don't believe it, I can't find any evidence to prove his innocence." The housekeeper took a deep breath and said, "I have tried various methods of contact, but I still don't know where he is now. .”
"You have lost your most important ally."
"Not only that, what happened in the Dragon's Back Mountains made the Emmanuel family very passive.
"We have compensated the Figuerola family a large amount of money, but this is not enough to calm their anger, and the family's reputation has plummeted. Harman and Rafael took the opportunity to make demands again, clamoring to see Theodosius The adult side.”
Miss Rabbit burped, "It looks like your show is about to come to an end."
"Unless I can find new allies."
The female lord shook her head, "Although I saw what tricks you were playing when we first met, I didn't expose it because I didn't want to get involved in the internal struggle of the Emmanuel family.
"My position has not changed now. You can leave. I will treat you as if you have never been here."
"Fifty thousand golden lions." The housekeeper went straight to the point.
Miss Rabbit was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head, "Ilkander's reputation is over, and I can't save him."
"I know, so I didn't ask you to restore Ilkand's innocence."
"Then what do you want me to do?" the female lord frowned again, "As an outsider, I can't protect your position in the Emmanuel family. Even if you reveal your identity as an illegitimate daughter, according to the current laws and traditions of the empire, There is no way to win any inheritance rights.”
"It's not me." The housekeeper said, "This time I plan to support Angela as the next head of the Emmanuel family."
Miss Rabbit almost sprayed the wine on the wall with a sip of wine.
She felt that she was quite useless, but it all depended on who she was competing with. Compared with the weasel next door who only knew how to grunt, the female lord could definitely be called a wise and powerful warrior.
Ilea couldn't help but said, "What do you think? By letting that guy be the head of the family, are you not afraid of destroying the Emmanuel family?"
"Miss Angela is not a fool, she was just taken too good care of before and is not clear about many things." the housekeeper explained.
"Forget it, you can fool others. I know that weasel very well. She knows nothing but stinky farts."
"I can teach her."
"You mean to use her as a puppet." The female lord sneered, "But then again, how did you persuade her to participate in the competition for the next head of the family? With her personality, she should not like this kind of trouble. That’s right.”
"We are lovers."
"???"
Miss Rabbit took a breath of cold air, "Beast, although I don't like that weasel very much, is this a little too much?"
"I know what you are thinking, but that is not the case. She and I are truly in love, but we have never spoken. It was not until recently that we confirmed our feelings for each other, so I temporarily adjusted my plan and rushed to find you. < br>
"I hope you can come forward and support Miss Angela. In addition to the 50,000 gold coins, Miss Angela will also lead the Emmanuel family to convert to Saturday."
I feel better today. Let’s go to bed early.
