The girl sat on the edge of the bed, still trying to digest Li Yu's words just now.

The impact on her was so great that even when she was outnumbered by Blanca in the middle of the election, the girl was convinced that most of the family supported her.

It was only because of her uncle Antonio's treachery that she narrowly missed the election.

However, Li Yu now tells her that this is not the case, the outcome of the election has lost its suspense early on, and only she is still kept in the dark, full of confidence to prepare for the doomed defeat.

The thought of this sent a chill to Elia's heart.

It's like someone has pressed her head into the biting cold water of winter, and no matter how hard she struggles, she can't get out.

Miss Rabbit's drunkenness instantly sobered up a lot, "But what about those who supported me, did they also know that I was going to lose early, and if that's the case, then why did they vote for me instead of Blanco?" It doesn't make sense. ”

"I've only been here for a short time, and I don't know enough about the world and your family, so I can't jump to conclusions about some things."

Li Yu paused, and then added, "But you said that your aunt and your uncle have the best relationship, and your uncle changed his mind at the last moment......

At this point, Miss Rabbit understood, drooping her ears and staring listlessly at the small tree outside the window.

It's like Emperor Chongzhen who has gone to the coal mountain, and he looks like he is all lost.

Li Yu didn't speak again.

There was a deathly silence in the room, save for a bouquet of irises in a vase swaying in the wind.

After a while, Li Yu noticed that Ilea's shoulders were shrugging, and Miss Rabbit should be sobbing secretly behind his back.

Seeing this, Li Yu returned the handkerchief that the girl had lent him to wipe his mouth last night, "I asked the maid to help wash it before going to bed." ”

Ilea took the handkerchief and wiped her tears as she said, "Why is this happening, who can I trust now?" My uncle-in-law, or great-grandmother Ona? ”

"The situation is still unclear, and I suggest that you better not believe anyone." Li Yu said.

"So I'm just going to have to wait for my stepmom to do something to me? I came to Rock Snow City with my aunt, but in the last two years, I have spent most of my time in the largest temple in Multiscale City serving the goddess of the Silver Moon, and my relationship with the knights and warriors who accompanied me is definitely not as close as my aunt's. Not...... Maybe I can go to the city and hire some mercenaries. ”

"Can they be trusted?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

"It's not credible, those guys only recognize money, they don't have the slightest sense of honor, they can protect me for money, and of course they can betray me for more money." Miss Rabbit was deflated before she finished speaking.

"Otherwise, I'd better seek refuge with the Marquis of Cullen...... No, it's not okay, it's too embarrassing to ask the feudal lord for help just after winning the election, it will only show that I, the new lord, are weak and incompetent, and it will also make the Marquis of Kulun doubt whether I have the ability to rule the green field. ”

"You can also gather your people immediately and announce in public that you will not be in danger of relinquishing the position of head of the family." Li Yu proposed.

"Don't even think about it!" As if she had been stepped on by the tail, Ilea jumped up from the side of the bed, "I won't give in to that woman!" Green is my father's and mother's legacy, and as long as I have a breath of air, I will never give it away! ”

The tears on the girl's face were not dry, but her tone was extremely firm.

Li Yu was not surprised by Miss Rabbit's answer, "Then there is only a second way, you were openly elected by the core members of the family, no matter what they thought in private, hundreds of people witnessed the entire election process, Marquis Cullen accepted your allegiance, righteousness and fame are your most powerful weapons."

"You can use them to gather a group of loyal people and take complete control of the green field, and then there will be no choice but to bow to you, whether it's your stepmother or anyone else who is disgruntled.

"Of course, the premise is that you can return to Greenfield first, and do you have anyone you can trust in Greenfield? It's the kind of person who doesn't hesitate to choose to stand by your side no matter how high the increase is offered. ”

"Alfred." The girl spat out a name, "He was my mother's guardian knight, I grew up watching my mother, and after my mother's death he swore allegiance to my brother Ramon, but unfortunately, within a few years Ramon also died, and then Alfred became my guardian knight." ”

"Some fools say he's been loyal to three masters, and two of them are dead, and he's bringing bad luck or something, but Alfred is the most loyal man I've ever met, and it's unfair to blame him for those two misfortunes.

"After my parents left me one after another, he was the closest person to me in the world. Alfred was supposed to accompany me to Rock Snow City, but his granddaughter was about to give birth a few days ago, so I asked him to stay in Greenfield and take care of the family. ”

"Very well, you can write to him and ask him to take control of the castle as quickly as possible, and hold it in until you return, and do not let anyone in until then, and if anyone questions his actions, you can ask him to tell them that this is the order of the new head of the House of Arias."

"No problem, I'll write it now." Ilea finally picked up some of her spirits and grabbed the quill on the table.

Li Yu continued, "Since we can't find a reliable guard, then don't ask for a guard, and we'll set off as soon as you send the letter, and leave Rock Snow City before the others react." ”

…………

The Marquis' Palace, inside another room.

Vanessa stretched out her hand and called for one of her servants

"It's been a long time since I've seen Ilea and her human advisor, what are the two of them doing now?"

"I'll look it up, ma'am." The servant bowed and left.

After a while, he trotted back again, "I have inquired with someone, and Miss Ilea says that since she has become the head of the House of Arias, she must add some new clothes to herself, so she will go to the market to find a tailor." ”

"Look at her little bit of goodness, hehe," Vanessa sneered, "I started to get carried away at the slightest sweetness, how could the future of the Arias family be in the hands of such a person." ”

She waved her hand as she spoke, but quickly changed her mind and stopped the servant who was about to leave, "What about the human advisor named Merlin, what is he doing now?" ”

"He went to the market with Ilea."

The lop-eared beauty looked moved, "In the previous election, Ireya relied on that guy to help her speak, what's the matter, does she have to ask for the advice of her advisor when she goes to buy clothes now?" ”

"You say that reminds me of the fact that just before they went out, Miss Ilea seemed to have borrowed a black pigeon from Master Vigo."

"Oh no, they're going to run!" Vanessa's expression changed dramatically when she heard this.

The servant was puzzled.

Vanessa also realized that there was something wrong with her words, so she changed her way and said, "It seems that the new head of the Arias family is going to leave us and rush back to her territory first!" Go find Captain Faja to meet me.

"Tell the others to pack our things and we're going home today, forget it...... Faja, I'll find it myself, you just need to gather the rest of the people. ”

Just as the lop-eared beauty went to the tavern to look for her mercenary captain, Ilea and Li Yu had already slipped out of the gates of Rock Snow City.

The two followed a dwarf troupe, keeping their heads down and keeping a low profile as much as possible.

Considering that Li Yu's "weird" dress was too eye-catching, they did go to the market and buy a cloak before that.

Now the cloak was draped on Li Yu's body, covering the Youngor suit below.

And after leaving the city, in order to prevent being chased by the pursuers who may appear behind them, the two gave up the road that was better and safer.

Choose to cross ridges, wade through streams, and plunge headlong into the dense forest.

Miss Rabbit accidentally bumped her knee when passing through a river beach full of stones, and hummed for a while before she got up and continued to walk forward, until she saw Li Yu's beautiful trousers of unknown material also outlined by the bushes along the way, and her psychology was a little balanced.

But after walking for a while, I couldn't help but complain, "Obviously I am the winner of this election, why do I have to flee in a hurry with my tail between my legs now?" ”

"Only those who survive are winners." Li Yu replied.
