Chapter 25 This is a family discount (Happy New Year~)

Miss Rabbit kind of understood why Pep had wanted to tell her in private.

It involves the internal struggle of the Arias family, and it is indeed not suitable for the public.

But now it's too late to call Pep to talk, but I'm a little eager to cover it up.

Besides, the female lord was also suspicious of the words of the Humpty Dumpty man opposite.

Pep seemed to know what Yin Leia was thinking, and asked one of the guards to take out a wooden box.

As a result, Miss Rabbit immediately became alert, pricked up her ears and said, "Stop, don't come any closer!" ”

Pep took the wooden box and was about to show it to the female lord, when he immediately stopped.

He simply opened the wooden box on the spot and took out the contents.

It was a silver brooch with a head in the shape of a rabbit and one of the ears already had some wear.

"This brooch...... Is it Blanco's? ”

Yin Leia recognized the origin of this thing at a glance.

"That's right, Vanessa gave it to me."

"Why?"

"She passed through my territory with her son, and I sent them to escort them for a while, well, and lent them some money."

"How much?"

"About a hundred gold coins."

"I can't see it, but you're quite relieved." Miss Rabbit sneered.

"I was dazed and deceived by her rhetoric...... When they left, I came to my senses, and I couldn't find anyone when I sent someone after them. ”

Knowing that the head of the Welch family was lying, the cunning Humpty Dumpty made a high-stakes deal, betting on an heir who would be forced to flee the realm after a failed infighting within the family.

Count on the day when Blanco will return to the green fields and bring him a return of far more than a hundred gold coins.

However, Miss Rabbit didn't bother to entangle with him about this kind of thing, and said directly, "Why did that woman write to you again, and then ask for money?" ”

"Well, about two months ago, she said that she had found an ally, a strong ally, and had raised an army to take the throne of her son, and hoped that I could sponsor her another military fee, about five thousand golden lions, and she had called on Welch to join her army as well.

Of course, I didn't hesitate to turn her down. You have successfully slain the dragon and made a great contribution to the stability of the West, and everyone owes you a favor.

"In addition, in the presence of the Marquis of Cullen, Ser Romero and others, you defeated your brother and became the head of the House of Arias, and won the dignity of the land, and no one can question your right to rule this land.

"In addition, the family has just donated a large amount of money to build the statue of the goddess of life for His Majesty, and now they can't afford to spend so much money at all. There is no way I can agree to her unreasonable request under any circumstances. But then, after that, she ......"

"What happened after that?" The female lord frowned.

"Then Lady Vanessa threatened me that if I did not cooperate with her, she would annex my land and kill my people, but for the sake of the hundred golden lions, she would spare my life in the end."

Pep finished speaking, and his handkerchief was almost soaked with sweat.

"Are you scared, Mistress Pep?" Yin Leiya asked.

"Yes, sort of."

"Are you afraid that I will hold you accountable for those hundred gold coins, or are you afraid of my stepmother's army?"

"I'm afraid." Pep said with a bitter face.

His answer caused a round of ridicule, there are many timid nobles, but it is rare to be timid to this extent and unabashed.

Even the oppressive atmosphere brought by Herodotus before was dispelled a lot by his comical performance.

Miss Rabbit didn't laugh, but admired the Humpty Dumpty a little.

He put his position so low that the female lord found that even if she wanted to trouble him, she couldn't do it.

It's like two people fighting in full view, and one of them falls to the ground as soon as the scene starts.

At this time, if you continue to stretch out your foot to kick him, you will become a bully in the eyes of others.

Pep even brought all the letters Vanessa wrote to him and handed them to Yin Leia, as if a student was handing in homework to the teacher.

Miss Rabbit did not embarrass the head of the Welch family any longer, and when the feast was over, she let him and the others leave the castle.

In fact, by the second half of the race, most of the people seemed a little absent-minded, obviously their minds were no longer on the banquet itself, and they got up to say goodbye as soon as it was over.

Although Hernan looks a little silly, his death still has a big impact on the West.

This is the second important member of the Mariel family to die.

When High Priest Martina fled from Scales City to Castle on the Lake, the Maliel family was the first to respond to her call, and Archpriest Martina formed an aphar army there, all the way back to Scales City.

Herodotus clearly had good enough reason to attack the Mariels, even if this time it looked more like an accident.

And the enraged Yudit didn't know what kind of revenge he would take on the Blood Moon and Herodotus.

As for the female lord, who had just turned nineteen, the guests were amazed at the size of her life.

Herodotus arranged two rounds of attacks, but she dodged them.

Especially the golden rose, the delicate and vicious design of the mechanism inside made many people stand upside down.

Since it was Hernan who died, Miss Rabbit was not very frightened at the time, but the more she thought about it afterwards, the more scared she became.

When the guests were almost gone, she took Greta and Ruby to the study, and asked the maid to serve three bowls of turnip water, one for each person.

Ruby and Miss Rabbit finished drinking, but Greta only took two sips before putting the bowl down, and looked up to see the female lord staring at her, "I finally know why Merlin thinks so highly of you, I didn't expect you to not only summon mice, but also play with reasoning." ”

"It's not a calling, I treat them like family." Greta corrected word for word.

But before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Miss Rabbit and pulled into her arms, "Then you have another family now!" No, it's two. ”

The female lord then remembered Ruby on the side and pulled the latter over.

"You saved my life, and I declare that you are all my family from this day forward!"

Greta rolled her eyes and broke free from the arms of the female lord, "Who is family with you, have you first agreed to be married?" ”

However, Miss Rabbit patted Greta on the shoulder and said kindly, "Since we are already family, the debt is ......"

The taunts that Greta had been pouring into her mouth suddenly became speechless, and even allowed the female lord to embrace her again.

"It can be halved."

"Aren't they all exempt?" Greta turned dark when she heard this.

"You owe me more than 2,000 gold coins, and it's a thousand in half, a lot." Miss Rabbit said, "This is a family discount, you just say you want it, right?" ”

Greta was silent again, and accepted this statement.

This is probably the continental version of Brattis that stumped the hero for a penny.
