Leah took a deep breath, "Alice, I don't deny what I just saw. It was indeed surprising, and it was a charm of wisdom. I, like you, is the greatest wish for the Black Stone Collar to be able to live a good life. For it, I can give everything, including my life. ”

It's not that Leah can't really hear Alice, but her character is stoic and tenacious, and in the years when her father died and Alice was indulging in grief, she carried too much, she couldn't show sadness, she couldn't show cowardice, she couldn't show despair, because she was afraid of losing, losing the glory of the Sander family, losing the Black Rock Collar, losing Alice.

She has a strong sense of responsibility, but it is also her biggest weakness. The powerful life pressure and psychological pressure that has nowhere to vent suppresses her emotions and makes her self humble.

In fact, she was just a 20-year-old girl, and her father was like a mountain, and the rubble suddenly weighed on her shoulders after the collapse.

She forced herself to become a mountain too, a mountain that sheltered Alice from the wind and rain.

But she wasn't stupid, her father's death, the fall of the Blackstone Knights, and the smell of conspiracy permeated everywhere. There are also unexpected bandits, who are repulsive and suspicious in her heart.

The asymmetry of information made her mistakenly think that Blackstone had reached the end of the road, and she had no capital to resist at all, so in order to protect Alice, she could only choose to forbear and retreat.

At the end of the day, Leah didn't do anything wrong, she did the best she could for the sake of Blackstone Collar and for Alice.

"Leah, I get it. Alice pressed her chest gently, caressing her haggard face, and her long rough fiery red hair, she used to be high-spirited and high-spirited, but now her spirit is tired, her eyes are dull, and she has obviously experienced too many tribulations.

"You work day and night for me, I know that. You've put all your energy and effort into revitalizing the Black Stone Collar, and I've seen it all. Alice's eyes flashed with tears: "But what about me, I will secretly cry every day, miss my father in my dreams, and I can't help you at all." ”

"Alice. Leah's tears were sour, and she sniffed softly: "It's me who is not good and ignores your feelings." ”

The family affection that blood is thicker than water is constantly cut by different beliefs. Alice listened to Leah's heartbeat and whispered, "Do you know what Lia? I have done all this for you. Father, in the sanctuary of bright souls, gazed at us, wept for us, and rejoiced for us. ”

"I think I'm lucky to have been favored by the gods. From the heart, I was intoxicated by those fascinating wisdoms, and the philosophical words lifted me. Let me rediscover the direction of my life, I want to bring light to you, to bring light to the Black Stone Collar. ”

Lia gently stroked her blonde hair: "I'm not questioning your achievements, on the contrary, I'm proud of them. I'm just worried that you'll go astray and get hurt. ”

"No, Leah!" Alice shook her head firmly, "I trust my judgment, trust my heart." I, Linda, Elena, and Luna, all believe that all of this, our God, is the greatest. ”

"Majestic Krem......" Leah muttered the name of the alien god, "I can't judge. But...... You're just kids, those bloody killings......"

"It was my decision. Alice raised her head: "We decided together." Leah, you may not know it, but you are caught in a trap, a well-planned trap. ”

"Trap?" Leah frowned.

"Yes, I can be sure. Alice nodded heavily, her eyes showing a bit of hatred: "Lien, he betrayed us. ”

"What?" Leah's tone of surprise "Isn't he sick in bed?"

"Hmph, this traitor full of lies, he has long been bribed by the Duke of Ceylon, and he deliberately pretended to be sick while you were on your expedition to hinder our autumn harvest. Even after our autumn harvest was over, he colluded with the arsonists to infiltrate the castle through his son's water truck and burn our winter rations on fire. ”

Leah's face became extremely ugly: "Alice, do you have any proof?"

"Of course! Lion is now under house arrest in his room, and his son is also being held in the dungeon. We've scoured up letters from Waterdeep and captured the arsonist. Uncle Karrick personally interrogated, and they confessed everything. ”

Leah's breathing became rapid, what a vicious tactic, bribing the traitor and burning the winter food was equivalent to ruining everything in Blackstone Castle.

Wait a minute...... And the fall of the Blackstone Knights.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and these clues seemed to be linked, if what Alice said was true, then the Duke of Ceylon had only one purpose - to destroy the Blackstone Territory.

But what about the purpose?

What is the purpose?

A blackstone collar with nothing would do the Duke of Ceylon any good.

For a while, Lia's heart was in turmoil, the black stone collar was her everything, Alice was her bottom line, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Alice after the conspiracy succeeded.

"Alice, how did you find out about all this?"

Alice confessed, "A foreshadow from the gods, who told me that evil is awakening, and that someone is plotting to destroy the Blackstone Collar. ”

It's a god again.

Leah was skeptical: "Can you tell me in detail, what happened?"

"Of course, not enough for you to look bad. Alice shaved her face in distress, running non-stop, so that she had no time to take care of herself, her face was dull, and her eyes were blue.

"There's been so much going on in this time. You need to get some rest first, Leah. I promise, you'll know everything you want to know. ”

It takes time and understanding for Ria to fully accept the existence of the gods. Alice has plenty of self-confidence, and with circumstances and facts, Leah will change her opinion.

"Okay. Leah did need to rest, and she was now holding on to her will: "By the way, Alice, the hunter in the carriage, did you see that?"

"When I saw her, I arranged a place for her to live. It's just that...... Is she telling the truth? She rescued you in the jungle, and then she assassinated the nobles of Waterdeep. In the end, you took her out of Waterdeep?"

"It's true. Leah gave an affirmative answer: "But her background is very special, Alice, let her take care of her injuries first." When I get better, we'll take you to her. ”

"Then I'm relieved. Alice breathed a sigh of relief and untied her dusty cloak: "Leah, wash up, you need a good night's sleep now." ”

"I'm sorry, Alice. Leah's expression was sad: "I didn't make it possible to bring the Blackstone Knights home. ”

"I've heard from the hunter about this. Alice was also a little sad, most of the knights had relatives on the farm, but now there was no sign of the corpses: "I have asked Uncle Karishu to arrange that they will be given a family pension and plenty of winter food and cotton." ”

"It's alright, Leah. Everything will be fine, I promise. Alice gently straightened the knotted hair on her forehead.

Unconsciously, Alice's face was a little less childish, adding a bit of mature temperament, and that kind of strong confidence made Lia's eyes a little trance.

Alice has really grown a lot.

Under Alice's gentle care, Lia washed the dust off her body, lay on the soft bed that she had not seen for a long time, looked at her sister who carefully covered the door for her, her eyes were sour, tears swirled, and she said softly: "Alice, you are doing a good job, really good." ”

"Alice ......"

"Shh......h

As soon as they left the door, Luna and Elena excitedly emerged from the hallway. Luna stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice, "Lord Leah, is she alright?"

"It's fine. Alice smiled: "She needs time." ”

"Then let her rest. Luna eagerly took Alice's hand, "Corn is in a little trouble, let's go check it out." ”
