Chapter Seventy-Six: The more you take a step back, the more angry you become
Beres sent Sleta back to her bedroom, and she was relieved to emerge from the room a moment later.
Despite her young age, she is now the master of the house, and when she returns, Bereth's nervousness has eased considerably.
The moment Beres came out of the bedroom, the butler and Erlan came over.
The butler frowned: "Speaking of which, Lord Bereth, have you reported to the little master what I told you before? You must know that there is no money in the family now, the salaries of the maids are still under pressure, and the guards of your family make trouble in the courtyard from time to time, you have to take care of it! Especially now that the little master is back, if she sees it..."
Beres wiped her head with the back of her hand, her long gray hair was tied into a ponytail and flicked it back, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I have already told the little master about the money, and the little master said that she will give you the money later." As for my family's guards, I'll discipline them later!"
The butler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard what Beres said.
Er Lan seemed to be worried about something, and asked in a low voice: "Speaking of Lord Bereth, when you just talked to the little master, did you notice that the little master was a little strange..."
Beres was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think about it, but her head was not so bright, and she didn't pay attention to details as much as Erlan, so she didn't notice anything when she recalled: "No, it's normal for the little master to come back from the palace, and he didn't lose his temper..."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of huge objects falling directly sounded in Sresta's bedroom, as if someone had overturned the table, and the bedroom also sounded Sresta's fierce scream.
Bereth's face froze: "This..."
Er Lan smiled: "I also said that the little master came back from the carriage to the time he entered the house, it was too calm, especially when I saw that the little master had been wrinkled after entering the house, and his little face was bulging, as if he was holding his breath." ”
Beres smiled bitterly: "Then why didn't you wake me up just now?" ”
"Lord Berex was just chatting with the little master, how dare Erlan say it. ”
"You've been serving your little master for a while... Guess for me first, why is the little master losing his temper now?"
Er Lan blinked, looked at the butler and then at Bereth: "I guess I was wronged." ”
"Huh... How is this possible, the little master has Her Majesty the Queen's protection in the palace, who can bully her. ”
"I don't know about this, it's just that the little master rarely shows that face, so I'll just guess. ”
"Now the little master is losing his temper inside, Erlan, why don't you go in and appease him?"
Er Lan trembled and shook his head frantically: "Don't do it..."
...
Sleta stepped on the plush carpet, looking at the small tea table that had been overturned by herself, and the teacups and saucers were scattered on the ground, her face was extremely unsightly, her small teeth were clenched tightly, the corners of her mouth were long, her eyebrows were erect, and her eyes were on fire.
She had endured her anger in the court for many days, and it finally exploded today.
"Damn! bastard! you're not targeting me!!" Sleta roared, kicking over the small chair.
Because of being by Xenia's side, Sleta has always pretended to be a good little girl, and she doesn't even dare to come out of her bedroom in the palace.
I thought that with Xenia's protection, I just killed a guy who was not a nobleman, how could those officials toss?
However, those officials came to the court three times and twice, frantically accusing themselves, saying that they were like the great evildoers in the world for the things they had done, and it seemed that if they did not deal with themselves, the world would not be at peace.
I know that Her Majesty wants to protect me... I just killed you, a person who has little to do with you, and your ceremonial officer and other officials are so directed at me!
Sleta gritted her teeth, her eyes glazed with cruelty, and now she wanted to put the ceremonial officer in front of her and slash him with a few knives.
Xenia knew what the purpose of the officials' actions was, and all of this was driven by Torah behind the scenes, otherwise how would those officials dare to toss her three or twice after learning about her attitude towards Sresta?
But just because Xenia knew this didn't mean Sreta knew.
If Xu Mu or Ai Lu were there, the two of them would explain to Sleta, explaining that the three of them could no longer live purely for themselves.
Now the three of them have been caught in the factional struggle of the Heane Kingdom, with Sinia on the one hand gradually regaining control of the court, and the nobles on the other side who are Torah behind the scenes.
If Xu Mu was there, he would tell Sleta that the reason why the ceremonial officers and these people did this despite Xenia's attitude was to pursue his position as the captain of the knights. After all, for the position of captain of the Royal Knights, Torah was prepared from the beginning, and he wanted his own people to serve.
As long as the position of the captain of the knights is held by Torah's people, then the actual control of the royal court will be extremely complete! Because the captain of the knights has the power to enter and leave the court at will, and also has the power to dispatch the palace guards, which is like a sharp sword, either Xenia holds the blade to the outside, or Torah grabs the sword and aims the blade at Xenia.
Torah pushed behind these in order to push Xu Mu down from his position before the first batch of knight alternates returned a year later, and then let himself be elected when his knight alternates returned.
But Xu Mu and Ai Lu were not by Sresta's side, no one would talk to Sreta about these things, and Xenia would not say this to a little girl.
This also led to Sleta's resentment towards the ceremonial officer.
In her eyes, the ceremonial officer knew that Xenia's attitude had troubled her many times, because he looked down on her and Xu Mu, Ai Lu's civilian status, and looked down on the people they were from other countries.
Sleta only felt that the ceremonial officer was deliberately targeting her with other officials, and as for the darkness behind her, she didn't know at all.
"Etiquette officer, bastard! I cursed him for going out and being kicked to death by a horse!
Sleta walked back and forth in the bedroom, gnawing her thumb with her mouth as she went, not knowing what she was thinking, and in the eyes of outsiders, Sleta was like a dynamite barrel that would be blown up if she wasn't careful.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, but Sleta didn't respond, still walking back and forth.
After waiting for a while and seeing no response, Er Lan had no choice but to twist the door open and walk into the bedroom under the guidance of Beres and the housekeeper's eyes.
The tea table and tea chair in the bedroom have all fallen to the ground, but fortunately there is the protection of the carpet, and the fragile items such as teacups have not cracked.
Seeing Sleta walking back and forth in the bedroom with her head down and her thumb down, Er Lan smiled carefully: "Little master, are you...?"
Sleta stopped when she heard the voice, and she turned her head to stare at Erlan, so frightened that Erlan stopped in fear, and her whole body trembled.
"I... It's okay. Sleta stopped giving her thumbs up, but hugged her shoulders as she looked at the mess on the ground: "Erlan, you clean up." ”
