Chapter 43

The agattilins' hallway runs through the garden in the courtyard, with stone pillars carved with shells and mermaids visible in the bright moonlight.

After following the housekeeper to leave the party hall, the surrounding environment became quiet, and only the noise and music in the distant banquet could be heard occasionally.

The young housekeeper walked in front, holding a black iron lantern in his hand. The orange light reflected the road under his feet, and his face was in the shadow of the light.

"It's Miss Lacey's first visit to the agattings' house. In fact, Lord Angus used to stay here a lot. You don't have to be too restrained."

"Well, it's my first time here. I'll be familiar with it later."

Looking at the bright full moon in the sky, the girl occasionally scanned the gradually quiet and dark courtyard and asked.

"Is the jerinkda study far from here?"

"It's just around the corner. The master likes to work in a quiet place. I'm sorry to invite you so late."

He explained naturally, but the pace did not stop.

Lorraine Hill looked at the housekeeper's back, sighed, and continued to follow.

Dong Dong——

The door of the dark red lacquer wood was knocked, and the light scattered in the room could be seen from the crack of the door.

"Come in, please."

Squeak——

As the door opens, you can see a middle-aged man sitting in front of his desk. There is a small table and sofa in the room. There is a small night light, snacks and fruit on the small table. There are also a few candle lights on the walls of the room, which reflect the light in the room.

"Miss Lacey, please have a seat."

Jack got up from his seat and invited Lorraine hill to sit on the sofa next to the small table. Then he sat on the sofa opposite.

Then Owen, the housekeeper, brought two more drinks and put them on the small table. He stepped back from the room and closed the door.

"Miss Lacey, maybe it's strange to call her that. I prefer to call her niece, because Angus and I have been good friends for many years, just like brothers."

"It doesn't matter. You are my father's good friend. It doesn't matter if you call me that." Lorraine hill, Lacey, holding the drink in her hand, replied.

"I'm very sad about your father's sudden death, and I have a lot of questions."

"I know it's rude, but as a good friend of his life, I really want to know the process of the attack at that time."

"But you can ask."

"Where was Lacey's niece attacked?"

"It's on the west wind's way to Vilga..." and then lorenthal restored the process of the attack according to what he saw at that time.

"So, before he died, did he transfer all his property to you?"

"Yes."

"Was there anyone else present?"

"The housekeeper, seres, and the maid chief, Chelsea, were also present The girl looked at the slightly red fruit wine in her hand and answered slowly.

"In this way, Chelsea are also present..." the middle-aged man's expression seems to be some sigh and sigh.

"Uncle jellink, you seem to have a lot of puzzles."

He took the fruit wine before he got up, drank it, and then said.

"Yes, I don't understand. Chelsea betrayed Angus With that, the glass in his hand fell down and smashed with a bang.

The door of the room was violently opened, and a dozen guards in robes and armor rushed in, armed with long guns and crossbows, encircling Lorraine hill.

More than ten sharp spears were aimed at the girl in the blue skirt, and the blade of the spear reflected the cold light in the candlelight. Six crossbowmen stood behind jerinke and raised the crossbow to aim at the girl with a dreamy face. There was magic on the black matte crossbow, but it didn't start.

These long Gunners are all the guards of the second spear of the war, and those crossbowmen are also the guards of the second black crossbow of the war. It seems that the yagitilin family has a great influence, and they can gather more than ten guards of the second spear of the war at once.

Lorraine hill did not panic, but looked up at the nominal uncle, as if to ask, why?

"I advise you not to resist. It can save your life. Don't expect that the riders outside the gate of the courtyard will rush in to save you. Someone will deal with it there."

Jerinke put his hands on the armrest and gazed at the girl with blonde hair and blue skirt.

He saw that Lorraine hill was silent and continued.

"Angus and I have known each other for more than ten years, when we went to the South China Sea Islands for adventure. He saved me many times. We regard each other as brothers

"I can't stand that someone will murder him and usurp his property for many years in the name of his daughter." He said word for word.

"Why do you think I'm not his daughter?"

"It's true that Angus has protected her daughter very well. She has lived in Xifeng all the time. No one has seen her in Vilga."

"Unfortunately, I am an exception. When I went to Xifeng for business many years ago, I was invited to my home by him and met her daughter once."

"Maybe not as beautiful as you are, but a lovely little girl. She doesn't look like you. "

"And Angus called her Elaine, not Lacey“ There was a certain indignation in jellyk's voice.

"Mr. jellink, you and Angus are really close friends."

"You must know very well that many guests have seen me tonight, and if I were to be imprisoned here, it would not take three days for this to spread all over Vilga."

"The fact that the agattilins betrayed their good friends for many years and murdered the orphan daughter of the karites will soon spread to all the towns, chambers of Commerce and people in Vilga."

"Yes, so what. I will report this to the court of the union of Vega and charge you with your crime. "

Lorraine Hill sipped the wine, his cheeks turned a little red, and he was not frightened by jerinke.

"Mr. jellink is right. I'm not Angus's daughter." As the words fell, the guards around them began to hold the long guns in their hands,

The girl sighed in her heart that she was really unfit to lie. She was exposed in a few days.

"But Angus didn't cheat me by transferring the chamber of Commerce to me." Lorraine hill put the empty glass on the table, making a slight noise.

"How could it be?" Jerinke didn't believe it.

"Why not?" Asked the girl.

At this time, the sound of fighting came from outside the door, and the metal trembling sound of sword fighting sounded from time to time.

"Jerinka, you fool, open the door quickly!" There was an urgent cry from Chelsea outside the door.

Jerinke stares at the girl, still unmoved.

"Jerinke, you slept with Millie and Kona in the bar. You didn't have any money on you, but you borrowed money from me. If you don't open the door, I'll blow up the story about you and Tess

The guard's expression in the room became a little subtle, and jerinke's face turned black. What old things are these? She remembered them so clearly.

A guard next to him asked for instructions“ My Lord, let's open the door and see what's going on. "

Jerinke waved his hand and reluctantly signaled to open the door.

The door was opened again, and Chelsea, Ceres, and a few Caritas riders were fighting fiercely with the guards of the agattilins. Fortunately, both sides restrained themselves and there were no casualties.

"It's finally open, jerinke. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so timid. You have to call so many people to deal with a girl."

Chelsea put away their swords, pushed aside their long guns and stood beside Lorraine hill.

"I'm sorry, miss. I'm late."

For recommendation, next week will be full of 10W words, when it's time to apply for signing, I hope the data is better.
