Ilea played with the electronic pet eggs for most of the night, and finally became a little sleepy, but not long after closing her eyes, she was woken up by a sound from outside the door.

Miss Rabbit rolled over, intending to continue sleeping, but after lying down for a while, she changed her mind, got up from the bed, put on a casual dress, and opened the door.

"What happened?" The girl asked a group of guards passing by the door.

The leader paused, "I'm sorry, Miss Elia, something happened over there in the dungeon. Gabriel attempted to assassinate Master David, and was subsequently beheaded by the arriving guards. ”

"Gabriel is dead?" The girl was stunned when she heard this, she was not surprised by this result, and it was absolutely impossible for Gabriel to survive the crimes he had committed.

But the female lord did not expect Gabriel to die so quickly.

She had just brought people to Rock Snow City, and Gabriel had just swallowed her breath before she had even finished a day.

The girl had to take a moment to digest the news, and after a moment she added, "David, he'......"

"Master David saw through the trick on the other side, and it was fine, except for a slight injury to his arm, and the prisoner cut his skin with a knife."

"I don't quite understand, where did the knife in Gabriel's hand come from?" Ilea frowned.

"That's what we want to know, Lord David has already asked people to investigate this matter," the leader said, "If there is nothing else, please Miss Irea please stay in the room as much as possible and don't move around freely, Captain Levine of the guard is worried that there are other assassins, but the Marquis's Mansion is already on guard." ”

"Okay." Ilea nodded, watching the guards walk away, and was about to go back to the room, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of Sheriff Brian.

The latter hurried downstairs, frowning, and walked in the direction of the chamber.

The girl hesitated, but finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and quietly followed.

There were guards outside the council chamber, but Elia didn't have to get too close to hear the voices coming from inside.

"I've done a preliminary check, and there's no dungeon guard named Pred, who was also one of the six people who escorted the winged bastard back to the dungeon during the day, and was supposed to stay in the dungeon tonight, but not long after the sun set, he found an excuse to leave early."

Then came David's voice, "Do you think he secretly gave Gabriel that knife?" ”

"I still don't want to believe that Pride had the audacity to betray me, but that seems to be the only explanation for this." Iron Mask Road.

"I've sent someone to his place, but it's empty, and Pryde, his wife, and daughter are gone, and they've taken some valuable gadgets that are easy to carry."

"The gates were closed when Pryd left."

"That's right, that guy can't escape, when I find him, I must stuff the blossom pear into his ass!" The sheriff roared.

Even after a few dozen paces, the girl's ears still hurt a little from Brian's roar.

But then the sheriff's voice was low again, "This time I was not strict in my rule, my subordinates were bribed and I didn't know anything, and I even caused you to be assassinated, if I was really succeeded by that guy, I would be dead." ”

"It's nothing, it's not your fault, my brother is very good at that set of demagogic things, plus he is a member of the Figuerola family, it is normal for you to have someone to do things for him." David said.

"But in any case, this is my dereliction of duty, and if I make a mistake, I will pay a price." "I'll also resign as sheriff when I find Pryde." ”

"No way!" David refused without hesitation, "The results of your work over the years are obvious to everyone, and you can't let Rock Snow City lose an excellent sheriff just because of such a trivial matter." ”

"But you ......"

"As I said, my hands are fine, and in fact this is the time when I and the Figuerola family need you most, Sir Brian, are you going to abandon me at this juncture?"

"Of course not."

"Very well," David's voice slowed a little, "then let's go find out about Pred and my brother." ”

"I won't let you down."

Miss Rabbit then heard footsteps coming from the chamber, but it was too late for her to retreat upstairs, and it would be too embarrassing to be bumped in, so the girl quickly hid sideways behind a piece of armor.

Fortunately, the sheriff was full of worries at this time, and when he left, he didn't look around, so he walked straight past the female lord and left the marquis's palace.

Before the girl could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard David's voice from the other side of the council chamber again, "The people outside, is it Miss Ilea?" ”

The female lord's heart suddenly cooled, but there was no point in hiding at this time.

She could only get up from behind her armor, straighten her cloak, and walk towards the council chamber.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

"I know, you just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and happened to come here." David said.

"Uh...... How did you find mine? ”

"Armor."

"What?"

"Your shadow is reflected in those armors." David explained.

"Oh, I didn't notice." Miss Rabbit felt more and more embarrassed, and she could only forcibly divert the subject, pointing to David's arm and saying, "How's your hand?" ”

"I can still hold a sword, so there's nothing to do."

"I'm sorry." The girl whispered.

"Why apologize suddenly, Miss Ireya, this incident has nothing to do with you."

"If I hadn't been urging too hard, you probably wouldn't have interrogated Gabriel at such a big night, maybe tomorrow, the guards of the dungeon would find out that he was hiding a knife."

"Perhaps, but my brother will definitely come up with another way to deal with me." David said, "I should thank you for it, if you hadn't caught Gabriel, exposed his relationship with my brother, and told me that Hulse wasn't dead, I wouldn't have been vigilant, and I wouldn't have hurt my hand tonight." ”

"Ha, this is what I should do, it is better to be the next master of the West than a sinister and cunning person like Huls, or a benevolent and righteous person like you, this is what I think of me."

"If that day happens, I also hope that Miss Irea, you and your Arias family can continue to work for me, and your support is vital to me."

"I will." The girl said without thinking, and when she finished speaking, she found that David was still staring at her, his eyes burning.

Miss Rabbit blushed and reminded, "David-sama......"

"Oooh, I was a little distracted just now, Rock Snow City is some distance from Acorn Castle, and Sir Carroman shouldn't be coming so soon, so I was thinking...... I don't know if you're free tomorrow, Miss Elia, there is a troupe that only comes from the royal capital, and plans to hold a performance in the city. ”

"The opera troupe, or are you from the royal capital?" The girl's eyes widened.

"That's right, the owner of that troupe also happens to know me, and he is very interested in your story of slaying dragons, after all, there has been no dragon on the continent of Brattis for more than 3,000 years, so he asked me if I can talk to you, he plans to adapt this experience of yours into a drama or something."

"What, a story with me as the main character?!"

"Don't worry, he'll pay."

"You just said that they came from the royal capital, which means that they will go back to the royal capital and then perform my story in the royal capital?" Miss Rabbit gasped.

"To be exact, Love and Mead will not only perform in the royal capital, but every once in a while, they will tour the mainland, so ......"

"So even elves and dwarves will know my name?! OMG...... I'm not dreaming. ”

"No, you are a hero, and your exploits deserve to be celebrated."

"Wow, I don't want to lose my temper, but that's too ...... I can't find the words to describe how I feel right now," the girl had to take deep breaths to slow her heart rate down a little.

"You're going to get used to it." I'll just accept you, and we'll leave tomorrow after lunch. ”

Well, it's a shift tonight, so let's rest early.
