Chapter 2 Returns
Fausto glanced at Li Yu deeply, and then said to Ilea, "It seems that you already have enough trustworthy people around you, Miss, so I have nothing to worry about." ”
"What do you mean, Chief Fausto?" Miss Rabbit was stunned when she heard this.
"I have served the Arias family for more than a hundred and sixty years, and now that I am old and in poor health, I beg Miss Ilea to allow me to return to my old age."
The old man paused, and then continued, "Your great-grandfather saved my life in a great battle, and I have made a vow to repay him in the best possible way. When that terrible battle was over, I left my hometown and followed him all the way to this land, where I have served him and his family to this day.
"As the steward of this castle, I have been serving the successive heads of the Arias family for more than a hundred years, and I think this should be enough for me to pay off the debt I owe to your great-grandfather.
"If you count the pansies in my hometown, they're almost blooming, and I want to take my family back to see them while I can still walk."
"What, you're going to leave me, when I need you?" Ilea looked incredulous, "Chief Fausto, do you also think that my brother is more suitable to be the Lord of the Greenfields than I am?"
"Oh yes, you don't know it, Vanessa has been defeated, she fled with Blanca, and there are only two or three henchmen with her, and they can't make a comeback.
"Because I have been favored by the ancestors of the family, it is the necklace that my father gave me, I have awakened the ancient spirit in it, I don't believe I can show it to you......"
The old man interrupted the girl, "My departure has nothing to do with Lady Vanessa and Master Blanca. ”
"What's the reason for that?" Ilea was puzzled, "You've been in this castle since I was born, Fausto has kept everything in order, if it weren't for you and me, how would you deal with so many things?" ”
"I can stay for another month so that you can choose a new steward for this castle." Fausto Road.
"But I don't want a new manager, I just want you!" Miss Rabbit's eyes turned red, "If it's because of what Alfred did to you, I can apologize to you for him." ”
"Knight Alfred just did what he had to do then, and I don't resent him, miss."
The old man sighed a little helplessly and looked at Li Yu and half of his face.
"Can we say a few words in private?"
"Of course." Jude shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the door first, and Li Yu silently followed behind him.
About a quarter of an hour later, Elia also came out of it, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had just cried, and her nose was still inhaling.
She casually closed the door, and then walked straight to Li Yu and said, "When you entered the door before, you asked me if I had a favorite candidate for the new head manager, and at that time you knew that Fausto was leaving, right?" ”
Li Yu nodded, "You may not agree with this statement, but the Teacup Fort was indeed lost in his hands, and he succumbed to the invaders for the safety of his wife and son.
Although this is human nature, but righteousness and family affection, he still chose the latter after all, which is also an undoubted fact.
"What's worse is that there is also the Alfred Knight's behavior this morning to compare with him. With such a stain on his back, he is no longer fit to be the head of Teacup Castle.
"Otherwise, in the future, this castle will be attacked by a strong enemy again, and the people below will think of the governor's previous 'surrender to the enemy', and everyone will have a heart of self-preservation, and they will not want to work hard to resist the enemy, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will not be able to protect this place.
"Fausto is a smart man, so as soon as he sees you, he asks you to return to his hometown, and if he doesn't mention it, then I will help him mention it."
Ilea stared at Li Yu for a long time before she was a little tired and said, "You're right, Fausto really can't stay in this position any longer, but I don't want him to leave the green field either." ”
Miss Rabbit explained, "I've never been a lord before, I haven't even managed a small village, and even though I won against my stepmother, I'm still a little confused, and I don't even know what I'm going to do next."
"Fausto, on the other hand, has assisted the three heads of the Arias family, and is experienced enough to tell me what to do and when."
"It sounds like he's the new head of House Arias, and you're just a puppet in his hands." Half face concluded.
"No, it's not." Ilea shook her head, "I'd like to keep him as my other advisor and give me advice, just like you, but in the end, it's up to me whether or not to take those suggestions." ”
The last half of the girl's sentence was said to Li Yu, and she didn't know why, it was obviously just a normal request, but she was inexplicably a little weak when she said it from her mouth.
Families with a little strength in the Red Lion Empire will recruit advisors, and some large families generally don't have only one advisor, it's just her legitimate right.
Miss Rabbit comforted herself like this, and as a result, she listened to Li Yu and said, "I'm not your advisor. ”
"Don't be so stingy." The girl said, "I'm sure I'll still listen to you more when the time comes." ”
"I'm not your advisor." Li Yu repeated, slightly aggravating his tone.
"Uh............" Miss Rabbit was a little flustered, like a new wife who had been caught in an affair, and stammered, "Then I'...... Wouldn't it be okay if I didn't find another consultant? ”
"It doesn't matter if you find another advisor or not." Li Yu said, "I told you a long time ago that I was just an expedient measure to be your advisor, and I just acted for others to follow your previous words." ”
"But later, later, you said that you wanted to have a more long-term and stable relationship with me." The girl's ears were pricked up.
"That's right, but I'm not talking about being your advisor."
Ilea recalled that Li Yu didn't seem to say that she wanted to be her consultant at that time, but she thought that Li Yu was going to stay by her side and give her advice.
"Then what do you want to do, nobleman? Well, I can canonize you as my knight, and by the way, I can also give you land, and you help me become the lord of the green fields, and I was going to repay you. ”
"I may use the land in the future, but the title of knight is not necessary." Li Yu said, "If you really want to repay me, just promise me one thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Allow me to form a Order on your territory."
