It didn't take long for the town to return to normal order, and everything seemed to be calm again.

Ten minutes later, Amy was led into the executive hall by the cavalry.

"Leon!"

After seeing the lord, Amy rushed straight to pounce.

Amy's emotions were a little excited, and she didn't even use what she was used to calling 'teacher'.

"I thought I'd be stuck there forever!"

Originally, it seemed that she was going to give a hug, but after running in front of her and seeing Leon holding Forsette clearly, she stopped.

Clearly, she realized how Leon had rescued her......

The knife in the lord's hand never left Forsette's neck for a moment, and although outsiders may not be able to see it, Amy was quite familiar with the scene - in White Hart Castle, this is what his own teacher did when he kidnapped the two Buckchus governors.

Amy could naturally also think that the kidnapping of Fawsett might not end well, and this matter was not over yet.

"Teacher, you'd better go to the inner castle and have a look......"

Leon realized that there were still many situations that he didn't know: "Amy, what the hell is going on?" ”

Amy looked at Forsette and didn't speak.

Leon nodded and took off Forsette's helmet: "Your Excellency Forsette, cooperate a little, let's go to the inner castle to talk." ”

……

Long River Town, the main building of the inner fort.

Klose stayed here the whole time, and Amy didn't let anyone into the main building.

"Klose, close the door and find a rope to tie him up......"

The lord is still quite tired from dragging the hostages all the time, there are no outsiders at the moment, there is no need to hide it, it is more appropriate to tie up Fusette.

But Forsett was a little reluctant to cooperate at this time: "Leon! If you treat me like that! The Horton family won't let you go! ”

Leon shook his head and leaned closer to Forsette: "I have no doubt that your family will be capable of forcing me to the end of the world—but as long as I don't die, I promise that your whole family will not be able to sleep from now on...... I'm helping you out right now! If you don't cooperate, I won't necessarily die, but you will! ”

The threat was still quite useful, Forsette took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and nodded: "If you can solve the problem, I swear I will not retaliate against you!" ”

Klose came up and shoved a torn towel into Forsette's mouth: "My lord, I'll keep an eye on him!" ”

The lord nodded approvingly at Klose: "Guard this building, don't let people in." Amy, tell me what's going on? ”

Amy nodded, and took Leon directly to the fifth floor.

Lady Bella was bound hand and foot, still unconscious, breathing very weakly.

Amy quickly explained the whole story, and after more than ten minutes, the lord finally figured out the cause and effect.

"Originally, I was just buying food, but I didn't expect to be able to do so much...... He also ripped out heresy......"

Leon shook his head and smiled at Amy, "There are really a lot of people who pursue you, and the most popular girl in the Lion Kingdom is you, Amy?" ”

"Teacher, you're still in the mood to joke! You've kidnapped Fawsett, and Duke Alma won't give up......"

Amy is still a little nervous, her troubles have been lifted, but Leon is trapped in the kidnapping.

Amy is even more anxious now than she was when she was trapped.

But looking at the unconscious Lady Bella, Leon was much more relaxed.

"Originally, I thought it was tricky, and I didn't know what to do with this Fawsett—I didn't want to be mortal enemies with an archduke at this time. But since their family is harboring and concealing heresy......"

Li Ang grinned and shook his head: "That's easy to solve!" ”

Amy frowned, "But, Duke Alma must also know that Lady Bella is a heretic?" ”

"Amy, it's because Alma knows for sure that she can solve the ...... Didn't Forsett want me to accuse you of heretical? I intend for him to accuse his father of harboring heresy...... Ha! ”

But just as he was saying this, Li Ang suddenly frowned: "Wait a while...... Amy, has she been in a coma for three days? ”。

Amy nodded.

Leon walked over to the unconscious Lady Bella and took a closer look.

The wounds on Lady Bella's body were small, and although they were as dense as scales, they were not so long that she was unconscious.

What caused her to fall unconscious was the wound on her chest, which had become a bloody hole and looked quite terrifying.

Leon tried to tease Lady Bella's wrist, still with a slight pulse.

"Which tall woman did you say would use poison? She also mentioned the Prophet? ”

Lord Lord turned his head and asked Amy.

"Yes, teacher, you mean Lady Bella......"

Amy walked over with a frown: "We were worried that she would die, so we didn't dare to touch her, she was unconscious because of the poison?" ”

Leon took off the water bag from his body, and took out the cruciferous powder from his waist pocket, mixed it with water, and poured it into Lady Bella's nostrils.

The Lord didn't worry about whether a heretic would die, this was the way Anson had mentioned to wake up someone who had been stunned by the Serpent's Heart Stone, and he was going to give it a try.

“…… Ahh ”

The crucifixion did work, and Lady Bella actually woke up with a cough.

But this method of arousal is indeed dangerous for a man who has not eaten in days and is scarred all over his body - a bloody arrow erupts from Lady Bella's chest as she coughs.

The way she looks now, it looks like a return to the light.

After opening her eyes weakly, Lady Bella looked at her bound hands, and then twisted her head to look around.

And when she saw Li Ang, she slowly opened her mouth, and her voice was hoarse: "Hmph...... Stupid people...... Goddess Ereda will not let you go! The Prophet's legion will avenge me! ”

Still looks a little crazy.

Leon waved his hand to tell Amy not to speak, and said softly, "Lady Bella, we are here to help you!" ”

Lady Bella looked at Leon seriously again, and then turned her head to look at Amy: "Amy...... Goddess...... Is he the hero you summoned? ”

Amy nodded a little confused, she really didn't know how to deal with a madman.

The lord realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity to get information, and he handed the water bag to Lady Bella: "Madame, drink water, it was the prophet who guided me to help you!" ”

Hearing the 'Prophet's guidance,' Lady Bella laughed, and looked at her lord as if she were a relative.

She pushed away the water bag: "I'm dying, I can feel my life disappearing...... Sacrifice with my blood, and sure enough, the goddess will respond...... Hero of Pande, have you already captured the town of Long River? ”

Li Ang nodded thoughtfully: "I have already controlled Forsette, how are you going to deal with him?" ”

Lady Bella was stunned, then sneered: "Let him die!" The Hortons are damned! I'm going to dedicate the town of Long River to the goddess Ereda! The legion of the Prophet will soon come...... I'm here to welcome the Goddess! ”

Her eyes gradually became blank, and her hands reached out into the air as if trying to grasp something.

Then, she turned her head sideways and looked at Amy: "Amy...... Goddess...... She's right...... Sure enough, only a perfect virgin can become the carrier of the goddess and bring the heroic ...... of Pande"

The voice gradually fell.

Leon put his finger to the tip of her nose and tried it: "She's not dead yet, but she may not be able to save her." ”

Amy hasn't come back to her senses yet: "Teacher, what nonsense she said...... What does that mean exactly? ”

"I don't know, but I don't think she's talking nonsense. She was probably just brainwashed by heresy. ”

After some careful consideration, Leon went downstairs to find Forsette.

"Now, Forsette, we have to put an end to this together...... I'm not going to go to war with Duke Alma, but I don't think you want to be hunted down by me and Lord Godric, right? ”

Leon stared at Forsette tightly, ripping off the rag that Klose had stuffed into his mouth.

Forsette retched twice, his eyes full of anger, but he still nodded slowly: "Then, how are you going to end up?" ”

This guy is indeed very calm, but it's a pity that he is not decisive enough, otherwise he would not have been coerced by Li Ang.

"I need to figure out what happened...... Lord Forsette, you are worried that Duke Alma will know about your sister's affairs, so you can make such a big deal? ”

Li Ang was a little incredulous: "But just like that, isn't it normal to be in a wealthy nobleman's house?" Don't make a big fuss! ”

Fawsett shook his head: "You don't understand, it's normal in other noble families, but my father won't tolerate this kind of thing...... If my father found out, I would have been banished! ”

Leon was surprised: "Duke Alma cares about this very much? ”

Forsette was silent for a while, hesitated for a while, and said, "My father doesn't care how we play outside, but the family doesn't allow ...... between relatives."

He shook his head, as if he didn't want to expose his family ugly.

"Teacher, the Horton family has always pursued pure blood, and completely intermarried with brothers and sisters in the clan. But by Duke Alma's generation, more than a third of the Holden family were dwarfs and imbeciles......"

Amy glanced at Forsette with disdain and explained the reason: "More than twenty years ago, Duke Alma killed more than a dozen of his brothers with his own hands...... It is said that those imbeciles, all inhumane, could do nothing but harm the family territory, and killed his youngest sister. At that time, it was so big that Alma even lost his territory - his former fiefdom was Changhe Town, and Lion Lake City was later obtained by great achievements. ”

Forsette gritted his teeth, probably not expecting Amy to know about these old events, and his face was a little ugly.

Leon nodded, and Alma had rescued the Mad King from the last lion knight, and thus obtained the Lion Lake City territory, which he had heard from Lady Filina in the garden of the Lion City Noble House.

With this experience, it's easy to understand that Alma would have such strict requirements for her family.

If Alma knew about Fawsett and his sister, then Forsette would indeed be evicted from the house and would most likely lose his inheritance.

No wonder he took the risk, both to cover up his affair with his sister and to cover up Lady Bella as a heretic.

"Fawsette, you know the situation of Lady Bella...... Your father, Duke Alma, knows that too, right? ”。

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Leon patted Forsette on the shoulder: "You are hiding that she is a heretic, it should be in order to find a child of the Horton family and retake it back to Long River Town in the name of the heir of Elfwan?" ”

"Yes, there is no heir to Elfwan, and my father must take back the lands that belonged to the family...... Leon, I might as well tell you the truth, the Duke of Elfwan was murdered by Lady Bella! A few years ago he would have been paralyzed in bed, poisoned by Lady Bella! My father took over the town because Elfwan sent a distress message before he died! ”

Fussett's words startled Leon, and Amy was stunned.

"You didn't lie to me, did you? Lady Bella murdered her husband? ”

Li Ang felt that the amount of information in the homes of these big nobles was really too much.

"I was the first to receive a distress letter, and it's true. The town of Long River was the domain of my Horton family a hundred years ago, and my father lost the town of Long River because of impulse, and he really always wanted to get it back...... But my father was not going to kill Duke Elfwan in order to regain his territory, they were once close comrades-in-arms! ”

Fawsett frowned and said inside: "Using the children of the Horton family to take back to Long River Town in the name of Lady Bella's widow, this is the Duke of Elfwan's proposal before he died. He has no heir, and instead of being inherited by Lady Bella, who murdered him, he would rather let my father take back the town of Long River! ”

Leon looked at Forsette carefully and felt that he was not lying.

The lord really didn't expect that Alma's plot to seize the town of Long River was actually based on Elfwan's own suggestion.

In other words, Lady Bella could have gotten the town of Changhe as a matter of course, but was disrupted by Alma halfway through...... She said that she wanted to dedicate the town of Long River to the dark goddess Ereda, and that she did have the motive to kill Elfwan.

"What the hell is going on with Lady Bella and these female soldiers? Don't say you don't know. ”

Leon pointed to the corpses of the female soldiers and asked Forsette.

The corpses had been gathered up, covered with cloth and sprinkled with lime, and were neatly laid out in the hall.

"That's Lady Bella's men, and I know that Lady Bella's worship of evil gods, but I'm not interested in what she's doing...... After all, I just need her to live! ”

Fawsett did seem to be aware of the female soldiers: "Actually, I have never entered this building, these women have never let my people in, and I have not forced my way in order to keep Lady Bella cooperative...... After all, her only request was that men should not be allowed into the building. ”

"You didn't kill the people around her?"

Leon thought it was unbelievable - was Alma a fool to control Lady Bella to capture the town of Long River, and to keep so many people around her?

"We tried, but Lady Bella is not a person who is afraid of death...... In fact, she has always been reluctant to cooperate with us, and my father told me not to force her, lest it would be of no one good to force her to death. ”

"We need her cooperation, so we don't push it too much," Forsette explained, and in three months the town will change hands...... She was also required to make occasional appearances during these three months. ”

In this way, Lady Bella probably hates the father and son the most, but she also seems to be hypocritical.

Leon suddenly thought of what the countess had said - Lady Bella of Long River Town had come to her to buy a large amount of grain!

"Forsette, have you ever bought food from the Countess of Fort Shield?"

Forsette shook his head in confusion: "There is a lot of grain in Changhe Town, so you don't need to buy ......"

Amy looked at Forsette with anger on her face, gritting her teeth, probably thinking of Fawset's intention to use three hundred thousand pounds of grain to make herself respond to his pursuit.

Fawsett looked at Amy, a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

But Leon let out a long breath - the food was not bought by Alma and Forsette.

It was Madame Bella herself who bought it.

So, Lady Bella...... She was bought for the Legion of the Prophets!

Leon closed his eyes and shook his head, then turned around and looked at Forsette seriously: "I think you're going to be in big trouble...... I'll give you a solution, it's up to you to decide if you want to......"

Forsette was a little puzzled: "How to solve it?" ”

"You have taken Lady Bella to the Lion City to surrender yourself, and you have made it known that Lady Bella is a heretic, and you have accused your father, the Duke of Alma, of harboring heresy...... There is enough evidence here that Duke Alma did harbor Lady Bella, and he will probably not be able to return to Lion Lake for several months. You're his eldest son and first heir, and I think you know what I mean...... As long as you do that, your affair with your sister won't matter at all. ”

Leon said with a frown, but he knew that this guy would probably not agree immediately.

If Lady Bella's heretic identity is revealed, her 'posthumous son' will become the son of heretic, and there will be no one to inherit the town of Long River, and it will be taken back by King Ulrique.

The Holdens got nothing.

Sure enough, Forsette shook his head: "This is impossible, even if I die, I will not let my father ......"

But it came to an abrupt end in the middle of the sentence, and Forsett lowered his head and began to fall silent.

Li Ang smiled, his smile full of contempt: "Have you already figured it out?" …… If you don't, then Archduke Alma will soon find out about you and your sister's shit, and I'll hand you over to Lord Godric. As for what Master Godric will do to you, then I don't care...... The fact that Lady Bella is a heretic will still be revealed by me and Amy, and your family will still not be able to get the town of River. And you...... Scold...... The choice is yours. ”

Amy was puzzled: "Teacher, we can use the second method directly......"

Leon shook his head and glanced at Amy: "Let him choose." ”

Amy didn't speak again, she saw a hint in Leon's eyes. Although she didn't know why Leon let Forsette go, she chose to trust her teacher.

Forsette was silent for a long time before he sighed and said faintly, "Your Excellency Li Ang, you are coercing me!" ”

The lord nodded as a matter of course: "That's right, I'm just coercing you." You know, I could even kill you right now, and plant it on the heretic of Lady Bella, and in fact I have every reason to do so...... But you gave me a choice outside the city, so I'll give you a choice. ”

But in fact, Leon knew he couldn't kill Forsette—he couldn't even take Forsett. The two hundred cavalry knew that Forsette had sought him, and if Forsette died here, he would surely face the army of Duke Alma's revenge no matter what.

He was just intimidating Fawsett, just as Forcett had intimidated him before.

In the end, Forsette chose to go to the Lion City and turn himself in.

It seems incredible—he chose to identify his father, Alma, as harboring heresy.
