Chapter IV, Section 2
As the Sykes and their daughter walked away, the scenery around them began to fade away, leaving only dead darkness around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I should wake up soon! Just as I was thinking this, the scenery slowly appeared around me. As the scenery became clearer, I found myself in the master bedroom of the villa. At this time, there were two women dressed in maid costumes, who were cleaning.
"Eh, I ask you, do you know when Lord Viscount will come back, it's been almost half a year since he left. The maid with the feather duster asked in a low voice.
"Ah!?Well, I don't know, but I heard about it last night, and it seems that I have found the relic of the Viscount. The maid with the rag stopped and said with a sigh.
"What, is this true?" the maid with the feather duster unconsciously raised her voice as the news shook her.
"Shhhhh You're so loud that the young lady will be stunned when she hears it. The maid with the rag complained.
The door suddenly opened, and Primra stood behind it in a daze, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said true? Daddy, reallyγγγγγγ Already..... As he spoke, tears had already slid down his cheeks.
Seeing this, the two maids immediately put down the items in their hands, stepped forward, and helped Primla, who was about to faint, to sit on the bed. "Tell me, is it true that you found Daddy's relics?" asked Primla, holding the maid's hand.
"Miss, Miss, haven't you gotten your hat yet? "At the door appeared a young maid with a basket in her hand, and her face was exactly the same as the one who had saved me.
"Betty, they say, they sayγγγγγγ Father..... At this point, Primra couldn't stop crying.
Betty cast a color on the two maids, who willingly left Primla's side and walked out of the room. Betty put down the basket, walked over to Primra and sat down, hugged her shoulder, patted her gently on the back, and asked gently, "My good lady, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, Betty will protect you." β
"They γγγγγγ They said...... Find Daddy's γγγγγγ Relic up. As if Betty's reassurance had worked, Primra stopped crying and said.
"Where did you hear that?" asked Betty.
"Bazaar. Primra whispered.
"Can you take it seriously? Remember the rumor that four months ago the rebels had suppressed the Imperial City in the market?" Betty patiently explained, "and now what about the results?"
"The rebellion was suppressed. Primra replied.
"Whose plan was it to put down the rebellion?" asked Betty.
"It's Dad. Primra said proudly.
"That's right, Lord Viscount is such a powerful person, can he die so easily?, and didn't he have a promise with Miss that he will definitely come back?, has Lord Viscount broken his promise?" Betty threw out a series of rhetorical questions.
"Eun, yes, Daddy will definitely come back to see me. Primra hugged Betty and said, "Betty is so good, only you will be patient and comfort me." β
"Miss, did you forget the first time you met, and you clamored for me to be your sister?" Betty lovingly stroked Primla's hair.
After such a toss, Primla's strength seemed to be exhausted, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in Betty's arms. At this time-
Gotcha, gotta gotcha, gotta - the sound of horses' hooves coming through the window.
"Well, the sound of horses' hooves!?" Primra then woke up, and staggered out the door, saying, "Ah, is Daddy back?"
"Why don't you take a break, and I'll see who it is?" said Betty, holding Primla.
"Nope. Primra shook her head, "I want to confirm it myself." β
Betty sighed and helped Primra slowly downstairs while I followed them downstairs.
At this moment, three men and one woman came in through the door, the first to enter was Primla's cousin, the thirteenth Viscountess of Shanshov, then his viscountess, and the last to enter was a new face that he had never seen before, and he held a box in his hand. And a servant's man did not enter the door, but bent over and waited at the door.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" asked Primla, her eyes wide and surprised.
Primla's cousin did not reply, but walked to the window with a gloomy expression, took a cigar from the cigarette case, lit it slowly, and smoked vigorously with his back to the crowd.
Just as Primra was too surprised to know what to do, the viscountess spoke, "This is the town's lawyer, and he's here to announce the disposition of the estate." β
"Inheritance!??" Primra looked at the lawyer in disbelief, "Daddy's body has been found?" Primra sat on her knees weakly, despite Betty's best support.
"No, the body wasn't actually found. The lawyer's voice said calmly and without a hint of emotion. "All the bodies present have been burned beyond recognition and cannot be recognized, which is why they have been dragged to the present. β
"But, just the other day, we found this in the hands of a charred corpse. The lawyer opened the box and pulled out a heart-shaped necklace that was identical to Primla's.
"According to the confirmation of the former Viscount's subordinates, this necklace belongs to the former Viscount Sykes, and the pendant also contains a photo of his wife and you. The lawyer slowly opened the pendant, revealing a picture of Primra and a noblewoman. "Therefore, Your Majesty the Emperor, the fact of the death of the former Viscount Sykes has been confirmed. β
Listening to the lawyer's words, Primla's tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, probably due to sadness, she could no longer say anything else, but kept saying "Daddy". When she trembled and stretched out her hand to take the necklace, but unexpectedly, the Viscountess, who had been silent, snatched the necklace with one hand, sneered and put it into the original box, and let the servants behind take it.
"Sister-in-law?" Primra looked at the viscountess dumbfounded.
"Lawyer, you go ahead. The Viscountess ignored Primra and said lightly.
The lawyer took a scroll from the servant behind him, opened it, and read: "According to the law of our country, the property of a man is inherited by his son, and the property of a woman is inherited by his daughter. β
