Chapter 46: Conspiracy
It's just that Eve's "superb" acting skills did not divert Gareth's attention, on the contrary, he looked at Eve with a foolish look.
"Uh...... Hehe...... What, where am I staying tonight?" she smiled awkwardly, feeling so embarrassed.
"Live there with me. Gareth said lightly.
"Impossible!!" Eve blushed and shouted angrily, if this kind of thing got out, she would not be able to see anyone.
"Pay attention to the image. Gareth said lightly, reminding her to pay attention to her ladylike image: "I can't let you out of my sight these days. ”
"You can't treat a noblewoman's daughter like this!" Eve is going crazy, go to his ladylike image, don't veto this matter today, don't talk about the lady's image, there is no image at all!
"But you don't have anything to prove your identity now except a family crest, and you've just put incense on me. "Gareth looks innocent, you are all asking for it, can you blame me?
"You! I!" Eve froze, taking a deep breath and finding herself unable to refute.
I can't beat it, I can't say it, is my innocence ruined like this?
"Scoundrel!pervert!obscene!shameless!" Her eyes were red and she cursed in a whisper, her heart full of helplessness.
Gareth shook his head at this, thinking to himself that he was really stupid enough to see that he was joking?
"Okay, you sleep in my room, I'll just find a random place outside. "Gareth's bedroom is the best in the whole of Erbia, although it is also very basic.
"Really...... Really?" said Eve, incredulous.
"Do I have to lie to you?" Gareth glanced at her, a smile in his tone, "But for now, you have to follow me to find those Hand Friendly Rats first!"
While the two were talking, the messenger sent out by Gareth was in serious trouble.
"Quick! we're going to get the information to Lord Jason before dawn!" the three fast horses galloped down the path, the soldiers Gareth had sent to inform Jason to be on guard.
"Buzz!" There was a buzz, and a blue sword light whistled from the darkness, and the soldiers at the head fell in response, falling off their horses, and their bodies were covered with frost.
"What people!" the two remaining soldiers were terrified, and secretly said badly.
"Let's go!" one of them slashed his whip, no matter what the other party's purpose was, the best plan was to escape first.
It's a pity that the people in the shadows didn't give him a chance to escape, and this time it was an arrow that struck through the soldier's throat.
"Ho...... Ho...... Ho......" He clutched his neck in despair, but he still couldn't stop the gushing blood, and finally fell off the horse weakly.
The last soldier knew that his life was also in danger, and he held the scimitar and looked around fiercely, but unfortunately he was shot in the center of the eyebrows by an arrow before he noticed anything!
After the three of them fell, five people came out of the surrounding area from somewhere, led by a young man who looked gentle and elegant with a broken sword in his hand, but his sword exuded a chill.
"Master Jennings is really clever!" exclaimed one of them.
"Hmph, the little girl of House Leon will definitely tell the defenders here that we are coming to Erbia, and the knight will definitely go to inform him of the safety of his lord, but there are extraordinary powerhouses lurking in his town, so he must guard here, and can only send ordinary soldiers to report the news, and then our opportunity has come. ”
Jennings sneered and recounted his plan.
"And after the accident, the Leon family will also be very suspicious, as long as we don't get caught by the tail, plus the adult secretly helps, everything will be fine. ”
"Your Excellency is like a god, and your subordinates admire it!" his subordinates were convinced and admired.
"This little girl from House Leon appeared at the right time, I was still agonizing about how to enter Irontooth and get close to the Marquis, but now it has given me a good opportunity. With that, Jennings looked at the three horses standing in the distance at a loss.
"This time, Lord Jennings has made a move, and the Marquis is in a catastrophe!"
"But we can only succeed if the knight is not by his side. The other man said calmly, he was cautious, knowing that it would be difficult for these people to succeed if Lancelot was there.
"According to the members lurking in Ironfang, the knight goes to the barracks every day to train, so we just have no problem if we get in on the time he's gone. Jennings said with a deep and calm look in his eyes that he had made ample preparations for this operation to ensure that nothing went wrong.
It's just that I don't know if I'll be able to get out of Iron Fang Town alive after the mission is completed.
"This is your room?" Eve blushed and looked sneakily into Gareth's room, a very ordinary room, without any luxury decorations, an office desk and chair, and a bed, but it was more spacious.
But it was clean and tidy.
Eve frowned, the room where her family's servants lived should be like this.
"Is your lord treating you badly?" she figured it was Jason who was a miser who treated his men badly.
"I can assume that you didn't say this, and I won't take it as an example. Gareth said in a bad tone, and without looking back, he continued to pack his things: "Adults are very good to me, it's just my personal hobby." ”
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Eve felt so wronged.
"The territory is now in need of money to develop, and it is too wasteful to buy luxury goods to decorate the room. Gareth put away his office papers, looked Eve in the eye and said, "The adult's room is as simple as ours, except for a more luxurious bed, all other luxuries have been sold by him." ”
"But don't I know......" Eve knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she had a little more respect for the marquis she had never met, but she still refused to admit defeat.
"You can stay here tonight, I will instruct the servant to bring you a new mattress, this is already the best room, if you are still not satisfied, then I can't help it." ”
Gareth didn't want to let himself enjoy the privileges, but his subordinates felt that this was inappropriate, and forcibly built him such a relatively beautiful house.
"Enough is enough, so it's good. Knowing that even Jason, who was a marquis, lived in a very ordinary room, Eve felt that she had no reason to pick and choose: "So where are you staying tonight?"
After saying this, her face turned red, how could she be the same as wanting to stay in Gareth for the night!
"I live next door to you. Gareth glanced at her slender figure with a strange expression, and didn't say anything more.
"Ao, then you should hurry up. Eve was already a little speechless, and she was now eager to find a crack to get into.
Gareth was speechless, as if I was the owner of the room, but he didn't bother with the details, and turned away.
After sending Gareth away, Eve slumped down on the table without shame: "Oh my God, what's wrong with me today?"
