Chapter 85: Letter (6th Watch)

Beres took it.

She had already taken it over when she was a member of the Knights, but unfortunately she didn't get any great glory and feats at that time, and this time she had to be more serious and careful for the sake of the family's affiliated tasks, even if she was particularly aggressive, she was trying to keep herself from making mistakes.

Seeing that Sleta was suspicious these days, and seeing that anyone, including herself, looked like someone was trying to frame her, Er Lan was distressed, but she was helpless.

She tried to appease and ask Sresta, but Sreta didn't eat this time, and she didn't feel good about anyone, as if someone had betrayed her.

Now that Sresta's strangeness has lasted for five days, Erlan is very worried about Sresta, but she looked for the housekeeper, but the housekeeper ignored it and looked for Bereth, who even had the courage to see Sreta because of her mistakes, how dare she see it.

Just when Erlan was helpless, a letter was rushed from the Academy of Magic to the capital.

Sleta's bedroom has changed a little from when she first arrived, with more decorations, a few more accessories given to her by Xu Mu at the head of the bed, and curtains changed to her favorite golden yellow.

However, Sleta was not happy now, she sat in a chair and looked out the window at the courtyard garden, the delicate black tea cups on the tea table emitting the enticing fragrance.

Sleta's hair was not tied up by Erlan, but was casually draped, her eyes were a little blank, and the index finger of her left hand kept tapping on the chair handle.

She is obsessed with and yearns for power, and naturally she will obey power.

And in the kingdom of Heaney, the giver of power is Xenia.

Sleta never had the heart to rebel against Xenia, and even she greatly admired Her Majesty the Queen, who was a few years younger than Xu Mu, and felt that Xenia was young but could control the entire kingdom and assume the happiness and responsibility of all the people of the kingdom.

She yearns for power and admires Xenia.

So when she was summoned to the palace by Xenia to ask about the ballad, although she was panicked, she still took it, and even if it was wrong or punished, she was willing to go next.

But Xenia whispered in her ear to tell her to work harder, and let her make the civilians of the capital more irritable.

Sreta was horrified when she heard this, why didn't Her Majesty hurry to calm the matter, and why did she let her throw dry wood into the fire.

Could it be that Her Majesty is telling the opposite? is it a warning to her that she should put the matter to rest quickly?

And what does Her Majesty mean by being with me?

Sreta touched her forehead with her right hand, feeling like she had been in the bedroom for so long that her head was groggy.

But she was reluctant to go out, and as soon as she went out of the room and saw the maids, the guards, and the butlers, she could not help but feel angry in her heart, thinking that these people had been arranged by Her Majesty to spy on her.

Even if Er Lan was selected by herself to be a personal maid, even if Beres was chosen by her brother to be her entourage, even if those guards were also from the Beres family, her suspicious and suspicious heart couldn't suppress these emotions.

These are people sent by Her Majesty... If she had changed all the maids and housekeepers, the queen would have known what she would think of me and my brother at that time.

Thinking about this, Sleta felt her head hurt even more.

Just as Sreta was stroking her head and sulking at herself, there was a knock at the door.

As soon as she heard the knock on the door, Sreta knew it was Erlan. Er Lan knocked on the door very politely, first lightly buckled twice to tell the people in the house, if it was about the matter of reporting, Er Lan would directly shout at the door that someone wanted to see her.

And if he didn't shout, he knocked three times in a row, which means that Erlan wants to see him.

If Beres came to knock on the door, her big grinning temperament was basically just three knocks.

As for the housekeeper, he didn't come to him at all if he was fine.

Sleta knew that Erlan was worried about her, but she still felt weak and said slowly, "Come in." ”

After Er Lan opened the door and came in, she saw that Sleta was still in the same state of low eyes and extremely bad face, and she was a little distressed, but she still didn't say anything, and stepped closer, handing over a letter and a prepared paper cutter with both hands.

"Little master, there is a messenger who sent a letter urgently, it was sent from the Magic Academy, although there is no signature on the envelope, but Er Lan thinks it is the master's letter. ”

Sleta suddenly came to her senses, and her small body leaning on the chair couldn't help but sit up straight: "Brother's letter?!"

One took the letter, then threw the paper cutter on the table, and opened the envelope directly with his bare hands to take out the letter.

Seeing that Sreta had recovered a little of her spirits, Erlan couldn't help but hope that the letter written by her master would be something good, at least that Sresta would be in a better mood.

After all, others don't need to be by Sresta's side all the time, but she has to be close to Sresta, which is not a complaint, but she doesn't want to see Sresta's 10-year-old little master look so low and gloomy.

Sleta's reading also began after she came to the capital, and she didn't know much about reading, she held the letter in her left hand, her mouth gnawed on the thumb of her right hand, and her eyebrows were wrinkled.

Her cultural level is also to write simple ballads of fairy tales, and she also knows some commonly used words, but Xu Mu's letter is densely packed with hundreds of words, and she really has a headache to see.

Sleta wanted to give her an order to ask Erlan to find Beres to help her read the letter, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Erlan's worried face, as if she was worried about herself.

She is sensitive, although she knows that these maids are all arranged by Her Royal Highness the Queen, but she also understands that the maid named Er Lan in front of her is actually not the eyeliner arranged by Her Majesty.

After many days together, Sreta was aware of what was going on around her. If there are people around her who have bad intentions, even if Sleta doesn't notice it immediately, she will feel something wrong, and she still understands Erlan's concern and worry about her.

Sleta looked at Erlan and was silent for a while, then directly brought the letter to Erlan, she said lightly: "Erlan, you can help me read the letter." She would not have felt shy for fear of letting people know that she was illiterate, and the maid and others had an obligation to read letters for their masters, as long as the master had asked for this.

Er Lan smiled softly and didn't think much about it, took the letter with both hands and spread it out, looked at it a few times and began to read it, his voice was calm and bright.

The previous content is very simple, and it is a very normal greeting.

But as the letter was read, Er Lan's voice suddenly found strange, and the more he read it, the more he felt that the sound seemed to be difficult to produce.

Sleta felt strange, she saw Erlan's face frightened, her pupils were trembling, and she felt very difficult to hold a fluttering letter in her hands, and she was also trembling.

Sensing the abnormality, Sleta had a bad premonition, and immediately stood up from the chair, snatched the letter from Er Lan's hand, her lovely eyes revealed indifference, and her voice was cold: "What is written on the letter?"
