The hallway of the house leads through the garden in the courtyard, and the stone pillars along the corridor are carved with seashells and mermaids, which are clearly visible in the bright moonlight.

After following the butler out of the party hall, the surroundings became quieter, and only the occasional noise and music in the distant banquet could be heard.

The young butler walked ahead, carrying a black wrought-iron lantern in his hand, the orange light reflecting the road under his feet, his face in the shadow of the light, light and dark.

"Miss Lacey is coming to Agetilin's house for the first time, in fact, Lord Angus used to come here a lot, so you don't have to be too restrained."

"Well, it's my first time here, and I should be familiar with it later."

The girl looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and occasionally swept her gaze over the gradually quiet and dark courtyard, and asked.

"Is the study of the people of Jerinkda far from here?"

"It's just a turn in front, my lord likes to work in a quiet place, I'm sorry to invite you so late."

He explained naturally, but the pace did not stop.

Lorain Hill looked at the butler's back, sighed softly, and continued to follow.

Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the dark red lacquered wood door, and through the crack in the door, the light could be seen in the room.

"Please come in."

Squeak –

As the door opened, a middle-aged man could be seen sitting at a desk, with a small table and sofa set up in the room, with a night light on the small table, as well as snacks and fruits. There are also several candles on the walls of the room, which reflect the light in the room.

"Miss Lacey, please be seated."

Jaylink rose from his seat and invited Lorain Hill to sit on the couch at the small table, and then he himself sat on the couch opposite.

Then Owen, the butler, brought two more drinks and placed them on the small table, then retreated from the room and closed the door.

"Miss Lacey, maybe it's a bit rusty to call her that, but I'd rather call Lacey Niece, because Angus and I have been good friends for many years, just like brothers."

"It's okay, you're a good friend of my father, so it doesn't matter if you call me that." Loren Hill, also known as Lacey, replied, holding the drink in her hand.

"I am saddened by the sudden death of your father and have many questions."

"I know it's presumptuous, but as a friend of his life, I'd love to know more about the attack."

"It's okay for you to ask."

"Where was Lacey's niece attacked?"

"It was on the road to Verga from the westerly wind...", and then Lorain Hill recounted the attack based on what he saw at the time.

"So, did Father transfer all his property to you before he died?"

"Yes."

"Was anyone else there at the time?"

"Butler Seres and head maid Chelsea were also present." The girl looked at the reddish fruit wine in her hand and replied unhurriedly.

"Well, Chelsea is there," the middle-aged man's expression seemed to be a little sighing and sighing.

"Uncle Jelink, you seem to have a lot of confusion."

Geelin picked up the fruit wine in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said.

"yes, I'm puzzled that Chelsea betrayed Angus as well." After saying that, the glass in his hand fell, slammed, and shattered.

The door to the room slammed open, and a dozen guards in burqas and chain mail rushed in, armed with spears and crossbows, and surrounded Lorain Hill.

More than a dozen sharp spears were aimed at the girl in the blue dress, the blades of the guns reflected a cold light in the candlelight, and the six crossbowmen stood behind Jaelinke, raised the crossbows, and aimed them at the dreamy-looking girl, and the black matte crossbow faintly appeared on the magic but did not trigger.

These pikemen are all War Sequence 2 Baybed Guards, and those crossbowmen are also War Sequence 2 Black Crossbow Guards, it seems that the power of the Yagtirin family is not small, and they can gather more than a dozen Sequence 2 guards at once.

Instead of panicking, Lorain Hill raised his head to look at the titular uncle in front of him, as if asking, why?

"I advise you not to resist, so that you can still save your life, and don't expect the riders outside the courtyard gate to rush in to save you, there are also people over there to deal with it."

Jelink's hands rested on the armrests, staring at the blonde-haired girl in the blue dress in front of him.

Seeing that Loren Hill was silent, he continued to speak.

"Angus and I have known each other for more than ten years, when we went on an adventure in the South China Sea Islands. He saved me many times, and we see each other as brothers. ”

"I can't tolerate someone murdering him and usurping his family property for years in the name of his daughter." He said it word by word.

"Why do you think I'm not his daughter?"

"Indeed, Angus has protected his daughter very well, and has always lived in Zephyr, and no one in Virga has seen her appearance."

"Unfortunately, I am an exception, and when I went to Zephyr many years ago to do business, I was fortunate enough to be invited to his home and meet her daughter."

"Maybe not as beautiful as you, but she's a lovely little girl. She doesn't look the same as you. ”

"And Angus called her at the time, Elaine, not Lacey." There was a certain indignation in Jelink's voice.

"Mr. Jelink, you and Angus are truly close friends."

"You should be aware that many of the guests have already seen me tonight, and if I am imprisoned here, it will not take three days for the news to spread throughout Verga."

"The story of the Yagtirin family's betrayal of their long-time friend and murder of the orphan daughter of the Karitas family will soon spread through the towns, chambers of commerce, and people of Verga."

"Yes, so what. I will escalate this matter to the court of the Verga Union and charge you with your crimes. ”

Lorraine Hill took a sip of the fruit wine, his cheeks flushed slightly red, and he was not intimidated by Jaelinck.

"Mr. Jelinck is right, I am indeed not Angus's daughter." As the words fell, the surrounding guards began to clench the spears in their hands,

The girl sighed in her heart, she was really not suitable for lying, and it was only a few days before it was exposed.

"However, the fact that Angus transferred the Chamber of Commerce to me is not a deception." Lorain Hill placed the empty glass on the table with a slight clatter.

"How is that possible?" Jaelinck's eyes were full of disbelief.

"How could it not be?" The girl asked rhetorically.

At this time, there was a sound of fighting outside the door, and the sound of metal trembling from the clash of swords rang out from time to time.

"Jaelink, you idiot, hurry up and open the door!" Chelsea's eager shouts were heard outside the door.

Jerink stared at the girl, still unmoved.

"Jaelinck, you slept with Millie and Kona at the bar back then, and you didn't have a penny on you, so you still borrowed money from me. If you don't open the door, I'll blow you and Tess out. ”

The expressions of the guards in the room became a little subtle, and Jerinke's face turned dark, what kind of old thing is this, she actually remembers it so clearly.

A guard next to him asked with a look of interest. "My lord, why don't we open the door and see what happens."

Jaelink waved his hand and reluctantly motioned to open the door.

The door was opened again, and Chelsea, Serres, and a few of the Karitas riders were battling the Yagtirin guards, but fortunately there were no casualties.

"Finally open the door, Jelink, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so cowardly, and you have to call so many people to deal with a girl."

Chelsea put away his spaniel, pushed away the spear next to him, and stood beside Lorain Hill.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I'm late."
