Section 45 Provocation

Looking around at Eshurufat, a woman said with a smile. "Mr. Ashrufat, where are your two fiancées? ”

Following her point, Ashruphat saw the two sisters. They were standing together, not too far away.

When Ashrufat walked up to them, he realized that something was not quite right with the two sisters.

Because their eyes were fixed on a group of people in the distance. As mentioned earlier, there is a lot of space here, so people are scattered around and divided into different small groups to gossip with each other. Ashruphat easily found the target of his sister's staring.

Where the two sisters' eyes landed was an open space, about seven or eight people apart, and they seemed to have a pleasant conversation. All of these people are male. And Eshuruphat recognized one of them—it was Lyle. Seeing this person, he couldn't help but frown. The last time he was at the baron's house, one of the men who tried to attack him was definitely Lyle. Although all the attackers were wearing masks, Ashrufat was confident that he could not be mistaken.

Although Aunt Mary made that proposal, deep down in her heart, Ashrufat only positioned Lyle as a "rival in love". Just a stupid playboy blinded by jealousy. If you want to let Eshurufat deal with him with all kinds of calculations, then there is really no such motivation. Besides, since then, there have been all kinds of small and small things, and Ashrufat has neither the time nor the heart to trouble Lyle.

Among the group with Lyle, there were several dressed in church pastor attire. And from the color of the clothing and some subtle places, it can be seen that these people have a high status in the church and should be high-ranking priests.

"What's wrong?" Ashrufat asked.

"It's him!" Xingke squeezed the sentence out from between his teeth.

"Who does 'he' refer to?" Ashrufat asked softly. The two sisters' reaction made him realize that the "he" they were referring to was definitely not Lyle. Lyle alone wasn't enough to make them look so angry and disgusted.

"It's Io. Xingke said through gritted teeth. "Our cousin!"

"It's the ......," Ashrufat remembered what the two sisters had said earlier. It can be said that the source of this inheritance dispute is a letter of complaint written by Io. He is the source of all danger and trouble.

"That shameless guy is really back!" Xingke said. "I will never let him go......"

She stepped forward, but Ashruphat grabbed her arm.

"What do you want to do?" he asked softly.

"I'm going to ......"

"If you're going to clean him up, remember, we're in public now, in the hundreds...... Under the gaze of thousands of people. They were accompanied by several high priests of the church. Ashrufat's voice rang in Star's ears. "If you are not going to use force, but to expose his conspiracy...... That doesn't make any sense either. Because as long as Aunt Mary didn't come back, he could lie as much as he wanted without fear of being exposed. ”

Although Xingqi wanted to rush up immediately and repair this distant relative or simply kill it. But Ashrufat's words brought her back to her composure. There was no point in her rushing forward at this point.

"Which one is Io?" asked Ashrufat.

"It's the one in the brown suit. Hoshimi replied. "The one next to Lyle. ”

Ashrufat stared intently. The man next to Lyle was probably in his thirties and had a stout build. Because he was chatting with the high priests of several churches, he had a smile on his face at this time. But if you look closely, you can find that no matter what kind of smile you have, you can't hide the ferocity of this man. The ferocity seemed to be engraved on his face, and it lingered no matter what.

This man was Io, and Ashruphat remembered this man firmly.

A few minutes later, he led the two sisters back to their original table. However, in the time that they were away, their seats had been occupied by others. Specifically, it was a large group of women, both old and young, who were discussing with Ace and her gang with great interest.

Ashrufat listened to the side for a moment, only to find them discussing who would be the victor at tomorrow's gala.

The winner of this horse race gets more than just a prize money. At the end of the race, the winner will receive a ceremonial flower crown. The lucky one will then walk to the audience with a flower wreath where he will choose a lady to wear on that lady's head. This lady is considered to be the embodiment of the goddess of love and beauty among the gods of the star field, and is the queen of today. The queen will be by the champion's side for the next series of award ceremonies, where she will receive cheers, flowers and applause.

This is a very glorious thing, and it is also very much in line with the vanity of the ladies. Therefore, as people know, no matter which lady or lady, she is always desperate to encourage her husband or lover to participate. It is their unwavering support that makes this spring Jockey Club bigger and bigger every year.

But for out-of-town visitors, things are a little different. Because these outsiders usually come for the prize money, but most of them know how to make the most of the resources at hand. While bonuses are important, such an opportunity should not be missed. What could touch a woman's heart more than such glory? If this group of gossipy-mongering women is true, then last year's champion (the owner of the crimson steed that Ashrufaat had just met) took advantage of the opportunity last year to hook up a woman in just two days.

A few women tell these lace news stories in a colorful voice. Originally, ladies were not supposed to talk about this kind of topic in front of men, but in this group of women, Ashrufat was the only male, and he had just come from the other side, so the few people who spoke did not notice his arrival.

"Oh, aren't these my two cousins?"

With this voice, Io suddenly appeared at the edge of the crowd, looking at Hoshiki and Hoshimi from a distance of three or five steps. He was followed by Lyle, as well as the high priests of the church.

Xingke was still angry that he couldn't go to him directly, but he didn't expect him to come directly to the door now.

But as Ashrufat had said before, she still couldn't do anything at this point. Countless pairs of eyes have seen it. If she does it now, her strength will be immediately visible to everyone. What would be the consequences of her being a magician? The consequences were so severe that she didn't even want to think about it.

Even if you don't resort to force, you can't expose this shameless conspiracy. This matter was originally a secret. At least in the eyes of the locals, the sisters did inherit the cousin's inheritance, so Io, as a cousin, filed a complaint out of displeasure - not to mention whether the matter was legitimate or not, but at least legal.

"Hello cousins. Io's gaze rested on Ashrufat. Because Ashruphat and the two sisters stood so close together, the intimacy was easily visible. "This must be my cousin-in-law, Ashrufat, right?"

Ashrufat bowed slightly, but did not reply.

"Sure enough, he has a military demeanor. Io said with a smile. "I heard you signed up for tomorrow's horse race?"

Ashrufat nodded.

"Then I'm going to wish my cousin-in-law a victory. Io said. "It seems like a lot of people are riding horses to show off tomorrow, and you didn't ride them?"

This time, Ashrufat didn't even say anything.

"See you tomorrow anyway! Oh, remember, the time is less than twenty days. Io said hello and left.

"Honey," at this time, Ace didn't know when Lu Dao came over. "What did he mean by 'twenty days'?"

"I didn't ...... Nothing interesting. Xingke replied extremely reluctantly. "I'm sorry, Ace, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'll have to go back first. ”

"Ahh Ace was amazed. "But today there will be a parade of contestants...... At least half of the contestants will participate in the parade......"

"You send me back for a moment. Stargrave said to his sister and Ashrufat. The meaning of this sentence is that all three of them are going back.

Watching them walk away, Ace groaned for a long time. She was aware of something big going on, but for a moment she couldn't guess what it was.

But it didn't matter, she only had a little time to think about it. For soon the group of women began to discuss another fragrant story, which drew her attention.

It was still early when Ashrufat and the two sisters returned home. As mentioned earlier, the Jockey Club is a large festival that lasts for three days, and it is a big day in the local area, which is attended by both nobles and commoners. As a result, almost all of the two sisters' servants went to attend—except for a few. Even the coachman, who had sent them back, immediately ran back to see the procession, after receiving permission. That's a rare achievement.

......

Ashrufat gently brushed the white horse's mane with a brush. He gently stroked the horse's head with his hand, and he didn't know what he was doing, and tears suddenly welled up in the horse's eyes.

"Do you feel it too?" said Ashrufat softly to the horse. He led the horse to a well at the edge of the manor and fetched a bucket of water for the horse to drink. "Looks like I have to win this fight. ”

As he did so, he heard footsteps behind him. Ashrufat turned his head and saw Hoshimi.

Now he can easily tell the difference between the two sisters. But truth be told, this is the first time in a long time that Hoshimi has met him alone - the two sisters have always been inseparable.
