(Erratum, Yin Leiya didn't know that Ona was behind the election at this time, and the previous chapter had been revised)

"Didn't you talk about the dragon again?" Yin Leiya was stunned when she heard this, "But is there anything more terrifying than that dragon?" ”

The old man didn't answer her question immediately, but added, "Do you know why I prefer Blanca over you to be the head of the Arias family?" ”

"What are you talking about, didn't you vote for me?" The girl frowned.

"But I asked Torres to redirect his vote to Blanco." Ona said, "And your uncle Antonio, who I also asked him to vote for your brother." Well, do you still want me to give you advice? ”

"So you arranged it all?" Yin Leia was shocked, "Then my stepmother later sent assassins to hunt me down, do you also know?" ”

The old man nodded first, then shook his head, "Your stepmother didn't want to take your life, she came to me after the election to discuss how to remedy it, she plans to let those mercenaries hijack you for a while."

"Wait for Blanco to master the Teacup Fort and become the new master of Greenfield before releasing you, and forcing you to 'take the initiative' to announce that you are relinquishing the position of the head of the Arias family."

"And you agreed to her despicable behavior?" Yin Leiya was incredulous, "If I'm not willing to give in, you'll kill me then, right?" ”

"No, you are my great-granddaughter, my bottom line is that there are no casualties in the Arias family, and we will find someone to secretly send you away from the Brattis continent." Ona said.

"That's merciful!" The girl sneered.

"That's why I wasn't willing to choose you at that time." Ona sighed.

"Because I don't want to be your puppet?"

"Because you are so kind and upright, if you were the one who lost the election, no matter how sad you were, you would not do such a thing to your brother and stepmother."

"Oh...... So the reason I can't be the new head of House Arias is because I'm too kind and upright? And you don't want to put your family in the hands of a good and upright person? ”

The girl's chest rose and fell violently, and she had to close her eyes, and it took a while for her heart to slow down a little, and then she opened her eyes and said, "What an irony! Since when did kindness and integrity become a derogatory term? ”

"Kindness and integrity are of course good qualities for ordinary people, but not necessarily for lords." Ona said.

"Yes, but my father, Ruth, is a good and upright lord, and his courtiers and lords love him, and the Marquis of Cullen has a great opinion of him."

"And then he died."

"Dying in an accident does not prove that kindness and integrity are harmful."

"How do you know it was an accident?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"Sir Carroman, as we all know, was a good friend of my father, and they both had drunk too much that day, and it was my father who offered to have a conversation with him, and Sir Carroman agreed, and they went to the open space outside the castle.

The position was set, but the squire of the House of Ville mistakenly handed a half-sword with a bladed hand as a practice sword to Sir Caroman, which eventually led to the unfortunate accident.

"There were about a dozen guests besides my father and Sir Caroman, who had witnessed the whole thing, and unless they lied together, this was the truth of the matter, a reckless contest, a careless squire, and together this tragedy which should have been avoided."

"If you live to my age, you'll know that even what you see with your own eyes isn't necessarily the truth." Ona said.

"So what's the truth of the matter?"

"I don't know." "But I do know some things that others don't know, such as the fact that your father had a very private meeting with Huls, the second son of the Marquis de Cullen, a few days before he died, and they talked for a long time.

"There was also a very fierce quarrel during this period, and your father can be said to have left the table in anger at the end."

"Are you suggesting that the people in the Marquis's Mansion have something to do with my father's death?"

"Sir Carroman, in addition to being a good friend of your father, is also a close friend of Huls, in fact, the two of them have been together much longer than Sir Carroman has been with your father, Ruth just had a conflict with Hulse, and was killed by Carroman, do you really think it's just a coincidence?"

The girl was stunned, and after a moment she said excitedly, "Why didn't you say such an important thing in the morning?!" ”

"Because it's too dangerous to have something at stake."

"Danger? How dangerous it can be. ”

"Davy, the eldest son of the Marquis of Cullen, has always been regarded by the outside world as the next successor of the Figuerola family, but the Marquis's second son, Huls, is obviously not a willing lonely person, and he found your father, most likely plotting to become the new Lord of the West.

"And Hulse doesn't just represent himself, he should also know that he is inferior to his brother in all aspects, and his chances of winning are not good if the two sides compete fairly, so he turns to a third party."

"A third party? Are there still forces in the West that dare to meddle in the internal affairs of the Figuerola family, could it be those guys from the Yin Manuel family? The girl wondered.

"No, it's someone from the royal capital."

"People from the royal capital, wait...... Are you talking about Sir Leo, the third son of Prince Timothy? Recently, he is the only big man in the royal capital who has been to the western realm. Yin Leiya couldn't help but gasp, "The backer behind Huls turned out to be the royal family?"

"However, Leo and David obviously have a better relationship, and they even came to Green Field together to attend my dinner together, and they talked and laughed during the banquet."

"As I said, even if you see it with your own eyes, it doesn't necessarily mean the truth of the matter." "Especially those nobles from the royal capital, they are very good at disguise. ”

"I used to think that Sir Leo was a good person, and he spoke up for me in the Marquis's Palace, but it turned out that he had something to do with my father's death!"

The more Yin Leia thought about it, the more angry she became, "No, I'm going to ask Sir Carroman!" ”

"He won't tell you the truth."

"Then I will lead troops to surround his Acorn Fort and force him to tell the truth."

"That's why I've been reluctant to tell you about these things before, our army is not much stronger than the army of the Ville family, you can't take Acorn Fort, take a step back, even if you can take it, do you think Hulse will sit back and watch this happen?

"Not to mention that we still have to ask the Figuerola family, we need them to send men to help us deal with the dragon in the swamp." The old man reminded.
