"That's the way it is. If Marella doesn't pay us to buy silver, I'll have to dismantle part of that carriage and use it. ”

......

Eric and Papitt had returned to the Earl's Mansion and had met Jussius first. The knight saluted Papitt and was glad that he was safe and sound.

Papitt tells the knight what happened to him along the way, and tells him that Triss is in a coma and that the situation is urgent.

Jusis was very concerned about the prison in the mountains that Papitt spoke of, and the mysterious Grey Assassin who suddenly appeared. Although he didn't know the specific force to which the other party belonged, he speculated that his young master's true identity had been revealed. But the other party obviously underestimated the strength of the maid, so she was killed by Triss.

The young master treats his maid very well, which is also a well-known thing in the Pelos family. Since it was to save the unconscious little Triss, it was natural to come up with some money. It's just that Jusis's private money is obviously not enough to buy expensive silver. The money they needed on the road was in the hands of Marella, the head maid. So, Jusis told the young master that the matter had to be known to the head maid.

Papitt grimaced.

Eric on the side was puzzled, Papitt was so reluctant to tell Marella about it?

Jusis leaned over and whispered a few words to Eric. He told the little detective that Miss Anthratis had always been hostile to Master Papitt and would trouble him almost as soon as they met. And Marella is Anthrite's personal maid and bodyguard, so naturally she doesn't have a good face for Papitt. And seeing Marella means seeing Anthrite. This is something that Papitt definitely does not want.

After listening to this, Eric couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I didn't expect that the hexagram was also divided into factions, and where there are really people, there is politics. If you think about it, the Duke openly announced that his son Papitt would have the right to inherit his title, a decision that must have made Anthrite, as his daughter, quite unhappy.

My sister hates my brother. As an aristocrat, the affection of an ordinary family will only be a luxury.

Papitt scolded Jusis for talking too much. He tells Jusis to call for Marella to come out, and gives Eric the task of asking for money. After arranging everything, the young master ran to the courtyard and hid next to the metal carriage. It seems that he has already thought about where to hide.

After a while, Eric sighed that Papitt had done the right thing. When the maid came out, she was indeed followed by the eldest lady.

"What about Papitt?" asked the eldest lady as soon as she came up, her voice still low. It was like she was sure that Papitt would be back with Eric.

Eric looked at Anthrite with a fierce face, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, he didn't come back with me." ”

"Hide from me again, that coward!" said Anthrite angrily. In her hand she holds her saber "Flower Thorn" distinctly in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Eric broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he also has a deeper understanding of why this Miss Anthratis is called "Pelos's Thorn Flower". If Papitt hadn't hidden, Thornflower would have stabbed him into a bloody blur today.

At Marella's urging, Eric told her what had happened.

"That's the way it is. If Marella doesn't pay us to buy silver, I'll have to dismantle part of that carriage and use it. Eric said.

Anthrite glared at Eric when she heard the word "cart splitting". The little detective then turned his eyes to the side, pretending not to see.

Marella is surprisingly empathetic. She simply took out a wad of large bills and handed them to Eric, "Don't make any mistake, I don't care if the people of the Holy Capital live or die. It's all for Triss. ”

In this respect, the head maid is very similar to Papit.

What kind of magic does Triss have to be loved by Pyros?, Eric took the bill in his hand, thinking back to the silent maid on the train. Since she is the maid of the Pelos family, Triss has naturally been trained by Marella. If she is indeed shrewd and capable, then the head maid has a good affection for her.

Figured out, Eric watched, and Anthra and Marella walked through the door.

After a while, he came to the carriage and gently tapped on the wall of the carriage: "Come out, they are leaving." ”

Papitt poked her head out of the house and saw that they were indeed gone, so she jumped out of the car with confidence.

But the moment Papitt appeared, the door to the mansion was kicked open - Anthate appeared in the door frame. Marella, the head maid, stood behind her, smiling.

"Papitt!" Anthrity yelled, drawing her sword from her waist again.

Papitt was excited, and then glared at Eric: "You dare to fool me?"

"I swear I didn't tell you the slightest. Eric hurriedly shouted injustice. In fact, he saw that the door was not completely closed, leaving a crack. It's just that he didn't expect Anthracene to wait patiently behind the door for her prey to appear.

Papitt, whose mind was spinning rapidly, listened to Eric's words, and turned to look at Jusis, who was very close to the house, only to see that he was silent with an apologetic face, and did not say a word. He immediately understood what had happened, and angrily rebuked, "Jusses, you traitor!"

Shouting, Papitt picked up Eric and ran away.

I saw Jusis blushing and whispering, "I'm sorry young master, I really can't lie to Marella. Ask for your own blessings. He placed his right hand on his heart and saluted his young master.

It seems that Jusis, who was originally sent by Master Pelos, is also going to switch to the Miss faction because of the existence of the head maid. Eric suddenly felt that in addition to the frequent assassination of Papit, the situation inside Pelos was not optimistic.

He began to sympathize with this noble son.

"Don't run, don't worry, I didn't want to cut off your hand this time. It's the heir exam soon, and I just want to see how well your swordsmanship is doing. I have to say that Miss Anthrite's low, neutral voice sounded even more murderous at this time.

Is it usually for the purpose of chopping hands...... Listening to the terrifying lines floating from behind him, Eric couldn't help but shudder.

But he immediately decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a joke with Papitt that was by no means good-natured: "Are you sure you don't want to compete with her in swordsmanship?"

His inquiry was exchanged for this quote from Papitt:

"Bigger than you!"
