Chapter Twenty-Three: You Are Testing Me
Miss Rabbit was dazzled by the golden light in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but then she thought of something, and her face showed a look of struggle.
At that moment, a figure rushed into the banquet hall and shouted, "Don't move! ”
All the guests were stunned, and Miss Rabbit looked up to find that it was actually her newly acquired personal maid, Charlene.
However, the latter is not as gentle and obedient as before, and his whole expression is serious.
And behind her is the girl Greta who can control mice.
"Bold!" Some guards stepped forward to stop them.
As a result, he had just grabbed Ruby's arm when he heard the voice of the female lord, "It's okay, let her come." ”
The guard was stunned when he heard this, so he could only let go of his hand again, and at the same time, the surrounding guests also craned their necks and looked at the two uninvited guests in front of them.
Some observant people also noticed that Alfred had walked into the banquet hall not long ago and said something in Ireya's ear, and it was clear that something might have happened to the Arias family.
Ruby said as quickly as she could, "Miss Elia, please get out of your seat." ”
Miss Rabbit was at a loss, "So am I moving or not moving?" ”
"Move, please leave."
One of the characteristics of Miss Rabbit is that once she believes someone, she will continue to believe until she is deceived.
So he didn't say anything, and got up and left his seat directly.
Seeing this, Hernan was anxious, "Miss Elia, my trick is not finished yet. As he spoke, he wanted to get up from the ground.
But then I heard the uninvited guest speak again, "Lord Hernan, please keep your current posture and don't move." ”
Only then did the group realize that the two words Ruby had shouted earlier were meant to the future heir of the City on the Lake.
However, Hernán looked back and saw that the person who spoke was not a nobleman, but a maid, and if the other party said anything, he would do whatever he wanted, so he just didn't hear it, and got up from the ground as usual.
He then tried to chase Ilea, but he took two steps and was stopped by a knight of House Arias.
Hernan looked embarrassed and a little angry, and couldn't help but raise her voice a little, "Miss Ilea, you don't like it, I can say it directly, is this deliberately trying to embarrass me?" ”
"I told you from the first time you showed me that I don't want to get married yet."
"What, aren't you pretending to be reserved by saying that, trying to test me with that?" Hernán was shocked.
"Uh, why do you have this terrible thought?"
"Because you're about to turn nineteen, you need to give birth to an heir and continue the bloodline for your family."
"No...... I'm happy to be alone now. ”
Hernan's eyes widened, "What a terrible thought, didn't the elders of your family admonish you?" If something happens to you......"
"Lord Hernan." Miss Rabbit is almost at her limit. If it weren't for the fact that today was her birthday, so many nobles in the Western Realm were present, and with her personality, she wouldn't be used to anyone at all.
But the female lord endured it for so long, and finally couldn't help it, put away the smirk on her face, and directly interrupted the other side's words, "Do you know how a person can live as long as possible?" ”
Hernan didn't know why the female lord suddenly asked, but he replied earnestly after thinking for a moment.
"Eat a healthy diet, eat more lamb and bread, and eat less vegetables that grow in the field...... Well, there is also starting a family, having children, and enjoying family fun can obviously make a person live longer. ”
"No, it's nosy." The female lord said lightly.
When Hernan heard this, her face almost swelled to the color of a pig's liver.
At that moment, another voice came from behind him, "Lord Hernan, can you show me that rose in your hand?" ”
Hernan turned around and saw that it was the maid who had ordered him not to move, and he couldn't help but be even more angry, waving his hands, "Sir Ireya, you think it's quite beautiful, even if you don't accept my proposal, you still want me to leave the love token." ”
"I didn't want the golden rose, I just wanted to check it." Ruby tried to explain.
But Hernán was so emotional that he clutched the golden rose in his hand, "You don't want to touch it!" ”
"Can you at least tell us where this multiflower came from, it could be a Herodotus trap."
"Oh, is this all you can come up with as a bad excuse, Herodotus' trap? You're just trying to humiliate me, get out of the way, I'm leaving. Hernan said as she pushed away the little maid in front of her.
Greta held up Ruby in time to fall, and then narrowed her eyes and stared at the nobleman in front of her, without saying a word.
Hernan felt an inexplicable chill, but he didn't apologize, didn't stop at his feet, and walked out of the hall.
The guards at the door glanced at Alfred, who shook his head slightly.
In any case, Hernán is a member of the Mariel family, and if nothing else, he will become the next head of the Mariel family, and he will be the guest of the banquet.
If you force him to stay, it's better to say that there is something wrong with the rose, but if you don't find out...... This is going to be a big nuisance.
Just when everyone thought that Hernan would leave without looking back, he suddenly stopped.
Then his shoulders shook unnaturally twice.
Alfred was the first to see Hernan's anomaly, but before he could speak, the future owner of Lagoon fell headlong to the ground.
He foamed at the mouth and his limbs twitched.
Ilea asked people to find the herbalist in the castle as soon as possible, and also sent someone to her bedroom to get the magic medicine of the Shuangxiu Sect, but unfortunately it was still a step too late after all.
By the time the herbalist arrived, Hernan had already died of exhaustion.
The poor heir of the Marel family had obviously endured a lot of pain before he died, his expression was distorted, and he could not even leave a last word.
Ruby and Greta also rushed to Hernan's side at this time.
Ruby broke Hernan's fingers with all her might, and instead of immediately reaching for the bouquet of golden roses in the latter's hand, she took out a handkerchief and put it on her hand, and then picked up the bouquet of golden roses and put it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully.
She followed the trail of blood and soon found the real murderer who killed the future lord of Lake City.
Beneath the golden rose petals, Ruby saw a small hidden boulevard, about the size of a fingernail, which looked quite valuable, but it wasn't the gem that killed her, but a small thorn in the rose stem.
