Chapter Eighty-Six: The Oath (Seven Watches)
Seeing Sleta's expression, Er Lan was even more frightened, his hands hurriedly pressed his eyes, his body was weak and he knelt down directly, and his voice collapsed a little: "Little... Little master, Er Lan didn't see anything... Erlan didn't see anything..."
The bad feeling in Sleta's heart spread in her body, she frowned, got down from the chair, looked at Er Lan who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up, listening to the repeated sentence of 'I didn't see anything', she became more and more uneasy in her heart: "Er Lan, what is written in my brother's letter?!"
Erlan was frightened, she slowly raised her head, and looked at Sleta's indifferent eyes again, her brain was entangled in contradictions, but in the end, her mouth couldn't even control herself, and she said slowly: "The master's letter said... Heaney's royal family is fighting with the nobility for control of Heaney's court... Said that the little master could find an opportunity to help Her Majesty... He also said that Her Majesty wanted to let the ceremonial officer step down and let the little master have more snacks in the ballad incident... I haven't seen the rest of Erlan yet...!Please, little master, don't kill..."
Before Erlan finished begging for mercy, Sleta directly grabbed the paper cutter on the tea table with her right hand, and the blade was directly on Erlan's delicate neck.
Er Lan didn't dare to move, and tears of fear couldn't help but flow, afraid that with a stroke of Sretta's hand, his neck would be broken.
But she didn't dare to hide at all...
As far as the nobility is concerned, despite her eccentric temperament, Sleta is much better than most of the nobles in the capital. If other nobles don't like some servants, or if the servants anger the nobles, how can they say that they are thrown out, they will directly let people break their stomachs and kill them, pull them out and bury them.
Sleta held the paper cutter in her right hand, and she didn't shake it at all, but she was no longer afraid of killing and being killed. For her, she is a person who has died once, and there are many things to be afraid of.
Cold eyes stared at Erlan's frightened face, and for some reason Sresta's heart suddenly softened.
The two of them froze and were silent for a long time, and only the sound of sobs surrounded the bedroom.
"Erlan, now I let you swear here, I will never betray my brother in the future, with your meager strength, loyal to my royal knight captain family of the Heeni Kingdom, I will not ask about your past, I will not ask about your background, and I will not ask about the wrong things you have done. Sleta took the paper cutter back and threw it on the tea table: "Would you like to?"
Er Lan stared, tears stopped abruptly, she knelt on the ground and looked at the young body in front of her, but her eyes were not suitable for her age, the light outside the window shone on Silata's body, Er Lan saw that her face was dark, but the edge of her body was sprinkled with a layer of light.
"Little host... Do you want to take me as an attendant?"
"In two years' time, my brother will be knighted and fiefdomed, and I will give you the right to wear my family badge. ”
Er Lan's eyes were no longer full of fear, but became excited, the bangs on her forehead trembled slightly with her body, and she hurriedly kowtowed: "Er Lan is willing!"
Sleta squatted down very kindly and lifted Erlan's shoulders, the faces of the two were so close that Erlan could even count Sleta's eyelashes in front of her.
"In the future, I need you not only to serve me, but also to let the housekeeper hand over other affairs of the family to you one by one. ”
"Little master, what do you mean...?"
"Butler, I will not dismiss him directly, he is the eyes of Her Majesty to her brother, Her Majesty needs him, and I agree that he is needed. But I don't want him to see most of the house, at least I have to be able not to be seen by him. Sreta approached Erlan again and whispered, "If you need to make a decision in the future, in front of Her Majesty and my brother, I need you to firmly choose my brother... Can you do it? ”
Er Lan did not hesitate: "Little master, Er Lan is willing to dedicate this life to share the worries of the master's family, as long as the little master does not dislike Er Lan is just a civilian, nor does he dislike Er Lan's low ability, and he can't protect the safety of the master's home like Lord Berex, but I will try my best to listen to the master's words and maintain everything in the family!"
Sleta smiled coldly, patted Erlan on the shoulder gently, and then gave the letter to Erlan to read it to herself.
Er Lan hurriedly got up from the ground, wiped the tears from her face, she was extremely sensible, first ran out of the door to see if there was anyone in the corridor, and then returned to Sleta and squatted down to read the contents of the letter quietly.
By the time the letter was finished, Sleta finally knew what she had said five days earlier.
It turns out that Xenia is not as beautiful as it seems, and there are nobles behind her who are fighting with her for control of the court, and even Heeny's eyes are blind because of Torah's tricks.
When Erlan read this part, she was a little stunned, after all, she heard the rumor that Xenia framed her sister for the throne, but she didn't expect that it was the nobles who were afraid of losing their privileges, so they designed to frame the two sisters of the Heaney royal family.
Sleta's eyes turned cold, and this time she finally understood why the ceremonial officer knew that the queen was sheltering her, and he had to bring the official to trouble her.
At one time, Sleta really thought that the nephew was really close to the ceremonial officer, and he really came to find trouble for himself out of anger.
Unexpectedly, the ceremonial officer and others wanted to shoot at themselves, and then 'attack' Xu Mu!
wants Xu Mu to step down, so that Torah can replace his own people on the stage.
And Xenia's idea at this time is to follow the outbreak of this ballad incident, so that this matter can be taken to the next level, to the place where the ceremonial officer cannot clean up by himself, so that Xenia can find a reason to remove the ceremonial officer.
"Don't worry about Sleta, I'm with you. ”
Sreta's ears rang with the last words Xenia had spoken to herself five days earlier.
Is Her Majesty with me?
The corners of Sleta's mouth went up, revealing a gloomy smile, and her big cute eyes narrowed slightly, and at this time, a scheming flashed in her heart again...
This made Er Lan, who was looking at it, tremble.
After burning the letter, Sleta asked Erlan to get in shape, and then gathered all the servants in the house.
In the inner courtyard, the maid and butler on the right are calmly lined up, while on the left are Beres and her family's guards.
Now after the torture and education of Berex in the past few days, the guards have also put away the casualness and ruffian aura on their bodies, and everyone's faces show determination, and the long sword at their waists shows a dangerous aura.
Sreta and Erlan appeared at the gate of the inner courtyard, and the two slowly came to stand in front of the group, while Erlan took a step down and stood beside Sresta, her head raised and her chest high, her face confident, and she couldn't hide her joy between her eyebrows.
Sleta was draped in Ellu's fluffy robe, which had dragged the floor away, but Sreta didn't care, she wrapped her robe, and let out a breath that turned into white mist in the cold wind.
