Working Prophet.

Chapter 405 Do you regret it again?

The faces of the nearby guards changed drastically after seeing this scene.

The design of this mechanism is very exquisite and vicious. The arrow looks green, and there is clearly some poison on it, so that even if it misses the vital part of the target, it can still kill the target.

Moreover, their previous inspections failed to detect any abnormalities. If it weren't for the vigilance of the two girls in front of them, Lady Ilea might be in danger at this moment.

Thinking of this, many people's backs were drenched in cold sweat.

Alfred's face was also not very good-looking, but he still maintained his knightly demeanor and looked at Greta, "Thanks to you this time, the Arias family owes you a favor."

"I just finished the work assigned to me by the Prophet Merlin. If you want to thank me, you might as well thank Shuangxiu Teaching."

"Of course we will be grateful to the Shuangxiu Church, but your contribution to the Arias family will not be forgotten, and Miss Ilea will prepare a thank you gift for you later."

Greta snorted, an indifferent gesture.

Just when Ruby thought that the girl who controlled the mouse was quite handsome, she didn't expect that the latter could only hold on for a few breaths before she couldn't help changing her words, "Then let her forgive me some debts."

"This is not something I can decide," the old knight said, "but I will make suggestions to Lady Ilea in this regard."

After speaking, he looked at Ruby again, "As for you..."

Ruby knew that although she was very cautious, the things she did before made Alfred doubt her identity, and now she was with Greta again...

Just thinking about how to tell a lie later to get this matter over with, I didn't expect Greta to speak first, "I found her and asked her to help investigate."

Alfred frowned slightly when he heard this, "You have doubts about the Welch family, why didn't you tell me directly, you are someone sent by the Prophet, and Teacup Castle will naturally cooperate with your investigation."

"I'm afraid I'm going to startle the snake," Greta said. "It's as simple as that."

The old knight glanced at Ruby again, finally accepted Greta's words, and said to the little maid, "You did a good job this time, and Lady Ilea will reward you."

"Thank you for your compliment, Sir Alfred." Ruby said respectfully.

The old knight nodded, "I'll report the incident about the bronze statue to Lady Ilea. You can come with me, and you can also testify."

Ruby and Greta followed Alfred to the outside of the banquet hall on the second floor.

At this time, the banquet had already begun, and the guests were feasting. Accompanied by the sound of the piano and laughter, the hall was very lively.

Alfred asked Greta and Ruby to wait by the door, and walked in first.

After the old knight left, Ruby spoke again and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, but I don't quite understand. You clearly reasoned out those things, why did you have to take all the credit for it before?" Greta asked.

"I don't want to be too public."

"Is there any danger?" Greta suddenly became alert again.

"You think too much, I just hope to stay by Miss Ilea's side."

"When you say staying, do you mean lurking beside her?"

"I have no ill will towards Miss Ilea."

"But you don't look like you want to treat her as the master."

"You have your work, and I have mine. The difference is that your work has been completed, but mine has not." Ruby said, and she frowned again after speaking.

"What? Do you regret it again?"

"No, I just thought of something. Why did the Welch family assassinate Miss Ilea in front of so many people? Whether it succeeds or not, the Welch family must be finished."

"I don't know, and I don't care. Maybe Herodotus caught some of their handles, such as kidnapping the son of the owner Pep."

"Nobles usually put the family first. Pep's actions will not only fail to save his son, but will ruin the entire family. As the head of the family, he will not fail to understand this truth."

"That's why he was so restless these two days, he didn't make up his mind until the last moment."

"This explanation feels a bit...forced." Ruby murmured.

Greta sighed, "That's why I don't like dealing with humans, especially smart humans, you always think too much.

"You saw the bronze statue, and you also found the mechanism and the poisoned arrow inside. It was brought by the Welch family. In addition, Pep, the head of the Welch family, obviously has a ghost in his heart... Add all these together Can't you explain the problem?"

"Don't underestimate Herodotus."

"What did you say?"

"Those who once underestimated Herodotus are dead now. Some people say he is a lunatic, but even if he is really a lunatic, he is also a lunatic with very strict logic. No matter how cautious you are when facing him ,Well……"

Seeing Alfred walking back, Ruby immediately shut her mouth.

The old knight came in front of the two of them, "Mistress Ilea asked me to send you a message to thank you for your help, but the banquet is still going on now, and she plans to wait until the banquet is over before dealing with this matter.

"I've sent more people to watch over the rest of the Welch family, and I won't let them get close to Miss Ilea. By the way, Miss Ilea invited you in for dinner."

"No, I'm not interested in dealing with humans, especially nobles." Greta sneered.

"Then I won't go in either." Ruby said.

Alfred didn't force himself when he heard the words, the identities of the two were indeed different from the people inside, and it probably wouldn't be comfortable to get together forcibly.

"Then I'll ask the kitchen to cook two separate dishes for you." The old knight said, "You can eat upstairs."

While the three were talking, a burst of applause suddenly broke out in the hall.

Ruby looked over Alfred and looked inside, only to see a noble man coming to Ilea and kneeling on one knee.

"Beautiful Ser Ilea, I want to do a trick for you."

Although there was still a polite smile on Miss Rabbit's face, her eyes were obviously a little impatient, and she shook her ears twice, "Let's eat first, Sir Hernan, the trick can wait..."

Before the female lord could finish her words, Hernan on the ground had pulled out a bouquet of roses from his sleeve.

Moreover, the rose is actually made of gold, but it is carved lifelike. If it weren't for the golden light on the surface, it would be no different from ordinary roses.

The female lord's breathing became short of breath.
