Chapter 8 What is Your Work?
As soon as Levin saw Li Yu's gaze, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and one hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he said in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why break into the Marquis's Mansion at night! ”
Li Yu was silent.
The face of the captain of the guard became more and more gloomy, the palm holding the sword was tight, and the green tendons on the back of the palm were faintly visible.
And just at this moment, Miss Rabbit suddenly spoke, "Captain Levine, this is my advisor...... Hmm, Merlin. ”
"Human advisors?" The killing intent in Levin's eyes subsided slightly, replaced by a strange color.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he held back, and only reminded, "Miss Ireya, this is the Marquis's Mansion, not the Arias family's Teacup Castle, even if your people enter, you must inform in advance, not to mention that it is already very late." ”
"I'm sorry, Captain Levin," Ilea quickly bowed in apology, "I promise there won't be another time." ”
The captain of the guard looked a little dark, looked at Li Yu again, and finally let go of the hand that pressed the sword, his tone slowed down a lot, and turned to Miss Rabbit.
"I deeply regret what happened to Ling Zun, Miss Ilea, although I have not had a deep friendship with Sir Ruth, and I have only had a few encounters with Ling Zun on the Winter Hunting Day at the wedding banquet of the Marquis's eldest daughter, but I have long heard of his noble character, and the Marquis has praised us more than once for his loyalty and bravery, and the loss of him is a great loss to all of us."
Hearing Levin's words, Elia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened along with them.
The Captain of the Guard sighed, "Tomorrow is Election Day, I hope you are ready to be the next successor of Greenfield, and I hope that your advisors will be able to do their duty and give you wise advice."
Ilea bowed her head at the captain of the guard, "Thank you for your concern, but I have not slackened during this time, and I have already won the support of the majority of my clan, and I can only swear allegiance to the Marquis after the vote tomorrow morning." ”
"I hope so."
The captain of the guard bowed slightly to Ilea and turned to leave.
Silence was restored in the courtyard.
Miss Rabbit and Li Yu stared at each other, and after a while, Li Yu spoke, "Tell me about your election tomorrow." ”
"Hey, hey, why are you here?" Ilea was dissatisfied, "I just saved your life, don't you even want to say thank you to me, it's too rude, and I still don't know your name!" ”
"Don't you call me Merlin, I think it's a good name, I'll call it this in the future." Li Yu said.
“…………”
"As for thanks, I'm doing it right now." Li Yu continued.
"Really? But why didn't I hear those two words, our Arias family has very good hearing, as long as you open your mouth, no matter how whispered you are, I can hear it. Ilea shook her head triumphantly as she shook her head at the pair of long, furry ears.
"Words are not enough to express my gratitude, so I choose to take action instead." Li Yu said.
"What do you want to do?"
Miss Rabbit's suspicion was quite serious, and instead of being happy, she became alert again.
"Don't worry, I'm just doing my job."
"Your job, what's that?"
"I provide all kinds of advice to my clients." Li Yu answered in strict accordance with the work content on the recruitment brochure.
"Don't be stupid, what I just said was just to save you, you are not really my advisor," Ilea shook her head like a rattle, "Besides, I don't need a foreigner who knows nothing about the empire, and even the founding emperor of the dynasty doesn't know who it is, to give me advice, this will be too embarrassing for the Arias family, and it will not be conducive to my future governance of the territory." ”
"I do have to take some time to understand this new world, but in the workplace or in terms of interpersonal relationships, in fact, no matter which world is basically the same, for example, the captain of the guard just reminded you in a more tactful way that tomorrow's election may change."
"Is there one?" Ilea was skeptical, and she recalled Levin's earlier words, and she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Li Yu closed his mouth and said no more.
The best way to deal with a suspicious patient is not to explain to him in every possible way, analyze it word by word, and explain the pros and cons, which will only make him more suspicious of your ulterior intentions.
It's better to mention it so lightly, and halfway through the words will arouse his suspicions, and then he will use his brain, follow the vine, and complete the rest by himself.
This can be described as saving time and effort, and doing more with less.
Sure enough, I saw that the girl's face changed several times, not only muttering in her mouth, but also folding her fingers and began to count her supporters.
She counted several times before she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was almost deceived by you, you are completely alarmist, tomorrow the Marquis is just a notary, there are a total of seven people with the right to vote, all of them are from our family."
"I was brought up by my great-grandmother, who has always loved me and will definitely support me unconditionally. Aunt Alyssa and my mother are sisters, and they will definitely stand by my side.
"And she promised me to help me convince my uncle Torres, who had always been close to her, who was still training in the Second Knights of the Royal Capital and could not come back, but would write letters and exercise his right to vote.
"So I have three votes in hand, and Uncle Lucio's stepmother Vanessa has always disliked my stepmother, and will definitely not vote for my brother, and yesterday afternoon I persuaded Uncle Antonio to support me as well, and I got five votes out of seven, which is already foolproof."
"It sounds like you've got a big chance of winning." Li Yu admitted, "But the captain of the guard named Levin will not be untargeted, he is the captain of the guard, responsible for guarding the Marquis's Palace, and he must be well-informed if he wants to get the news, and he may have heard some rumors these days."
"Although you are well prepared, your opponent will certainly not sit still, and he may be running around while you are moving, how can you be sure that the people you won before will not be co-opted by him again?"
"For those men have sworn to me in the name of the gods and the fathers." Miss Rabbit said without thinking, with a look of please, I still need someone to teach this kind of thing.
Seeing Li Yu's surprised face, she sighed again and looked at someone with a caring foolish look.
"I don't know what your hometown is like, anyway, in the continent of Bratis, the oath made in the name of the gods and ancestors for thousands of years has been sacred and unshakable, and those who break the oath will lose all honor and be spurned and despised by the world. Especially for the aristocracy, it was something more terrible than death. ”
Li Yu sighed, noncommittal, "Since you have won the victory, why don't you sleep so late and sit alone on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze?" ”
“…………”
Miss Rabbit was speechless.
She can't say that we are seriously ill patients with hypochondriasis.
"There should still be some time before dawn, instead of sitting here, it is better to go to the voters again and confirm their choice one last time, in case something goes wrong tomorrow, you can feel a little more at ease." Li Yu proposed.
