Chapter 41: Sleepless Nights
"We helped him solve the troubles that plagued the whole city, who knew that the fat city lord actually wanted to keep her, so my companion and I gave him a hard lesson......" Ryan slowly told Vivien about his adventures with Faraz and others, of course, all the parts involving the identities of the lich, Faraz and others were downplayed by him, but even so, Vivien still listened to it with relish.
After Ryan finished talking about the adventure of the simplified version of "Elmida's Sunset", Vivien suddenly worried about Ryan's fate, and she asked nervously, "Ah, but after all, you are dealing with a city lord, don't you have any trouble afterwards?"
Ryan was speechless for a moment, because at that time, Faras and Red showed their identities, and the city lord who forced him did not dare to retaliate afterwards, but this matter could not be said to Vivian, otherwise Vivian, even if she was lonely, she would understand that there was only one magician who ventured with the imperial capital rose back then, and that was Ryan, and of course Ryan's identity was leaked. Although Ryan regarded Vivien as a companion, he did not want to involve Vivien in his own affairs, which would be very dangerous to her.
Hurried and dense footsteps sounded from afar, Ryan stood up with a "swish", and Vivien's face changed on the spot after listening attentively: "It's for us, we only have that way here!"
Ryan and Vivien both thought that Toby couldn't bear to use force in the end, Ryan smiled slightly, patted Vivian lightly on the shoulder and said, "Since I promised you, I will definitely do it." Vivien smiled at Ryan, but she was still a little worried, after all, she had lived in Iron Fist Castle for a while, and knew that the guards here were still very strong.
For more than 100 years, the three lords of the Cassano Plain have attacked each other, and the secret methods are also endless, if there is no strict protection and strong guards, I am afraid that I don't know how many times they have been assassinated by their opponents. Ryan's magic is certainly powerful, but if hundreds of people on the other side are swarmed up, it will still be difficult for him to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Vivien whispered in Ryan's ear: "In case things don't go well, you go first, that bastard won't kill me, and you still have a chance to come back and save me." ”
Ryan was still very moved when she heard Vivian say this, because Vivian knew what kind of ending she would suffer if she stayed alone, but she still said these words, which showed that in Vivian's heart, Ryan's position had surpassed Vivian herself.
In just a few minutes, the guards of the hundred-year-old Iron Fist Castle poured in, they surrounded Ryan and Vivien in the center, these guards held various weapons in their hands, and the sharp blades were all aimed at Vivian, Vivien knew that the only way now was to reason with Toby, otherwise she would definitely suffer if there were few people on her side in the scuffle, so she shouted loudly: "Where is Toby? Come out for me!"
"Shut up, you little slut!" Toby's voice did not appear, but the voice of a middle-aged woman sounded behind the crowd, and with the appearance of this voice, the guards surrounding Vivien gave way one after another, and a graceful and noble lady appeared in front of Vivien with more than a dozen servants.
"Daisy?" Vivian saw this middle-aged noblewoman, and shouted out loudly, because this woman is his father Paul's wife, Daisy from the Seremis family, 25 years ago, if it wasn't for Paul to marry her, Vivian's mother would not have been forcibly expelled, if it wasn't for Daisy suddenly giving birth to Toby more than ten years ago, Vivian's identity would not have plummeted, it can be said that Vivian's difficulties and helplessness in this life were caused by the middle-aged lady in front of her.
"You little slut, you dare to kill my only son, I want to avenge Toby today!" Daisy's first words made Vivien stunned, she never had the same bastard who made her hate to the bone actually died, but listening to Daisy's tone, she actually killed herself.
Vivien naturally understood that the murderer was not herself, and she immediately said loudly: "What are you talking about? Daisy, you said Toby was dead? You actually said that I did it? What a joke, I've been watching the moon here, how could I kill Toby? Besides, if Toby was killed so easily, the entire Emilio family would have been killed by their opponents more than 100 years ago, right?"
"Shut up! Who else would it be if it weren't for you? As soon as Toby dies, the entire Emilio family will naturally be inherited by you. And Toby called your name before he died, if you hadn't killed him with your own hands, how could he have called your name?" Daisy said hatefully, "I already knew that you and your ** mother are not good things......"
Vivien didn't listen to Daisy's words, she stared blankly at Daisy's face in the light of the torches, thinking very much in her heart, although surrounded by hundreds of guards, but Vivian knew that these guards were not all really supportive of Toby, they were doing this more now to get rid of the shame in their hearts, the carefully protected lord was actually assassinated, which discredited them, if they couldn't avenge the lord, then they would fall into hell even if they died.
It was for this reason that Vivien believed that none of these guards would follow Daisy's wishes, so she opened her mouth and shouted, "Who is the guard protecting Toby tonight? Please stand up and tell us loudly, how the hell did Toby die? I have been here since I left the banquet tonight, and you can see me kill Toby?"
The dozen or so guards who were protecting Toby all stepped forward, and the leader of them loudly told what had happened tonight, adding, "Of course we can't see the murderer, but Lord Toby once called your name loudly in the dormitory, so ...... So ......"
Daisy took the words and shouted, "Isn't this the most powerful evidence?Vivien, you slut, you killed your brother and the guards in order to inherit the lord's position, and I will sacrifice her to my son with her heart!"
The dozen or so servants who followed behind Daisy immediately agreed, and many of the guards of the Iron Fist Castle saw that the hostess had spoken, so they also shouted, in their hearts, although Vivien is the daughter of the old master, but she has been excluded for so many years, and now that the old master is seriously ill, the hostess naturally has the power of the family, isn't it just an opportunity to show in front of her?
