Chapter 408 This is a family discount (Happy New Year~)

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

It is indeed not suitable to make public about the internal struggles of the Arias family.

But now it was too late to ask Pep to have a chat, but it was a bit self-explanatory.

Besides, the female lord was dubious about the words of the chunky man opposite.

Pep seemed to know what Ilea was thinking, and asked another guard to take out a wooden box.

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

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

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 was a little worn out.

"This brooch...is Blanco's?"

Ilea recognized the origin of this thing at a glance.

"Yes, Vanessa gave it to me."

"why?"

"She took her son through my territory, and I sent someone to escort them for a while, um, and lent them some money."

"How many?"

"About a hundred gold coins."

"I can't tell, but you are quite generous." Miss Rabbit sneered.

"I was in a daze at the time, and was deceived by her sweet words... I only woke up after they left, and I couldn't find anyone after I sent people to chase them."

Ilea knew that the patriarch of the Welch family was lying. This cunning little fat man made a high-risk deal, betting on an heir who had failed in the family fight and was forced to flee the territory.

It is hoped that one day Blanco can return to the green field and bring him far more than a hundred gold coins in return.

But Miss Rabbit didn't bother to entangle him in this kind of matter, and said directly, "Why is that woman writing to you again, and asking for money?"

"Well, about two months ago, she said that she had found an ally, a powerful ally, and raised an army to take back the position of the master for her son. She hoped that I could sponsor her for another military expenditure, probably Five thousand golden lions, and she also called on Welch to join her army.

"Of course, I rejected her without hesitation. You succeeded in slaying the dragon and made a great contribution to the stability of the western region. Everyone owes you a favor.

"In addition, you defeated your younger brother under the witness of the Marquis Cullen, Sir Romero and others, and became the Patriarch of the Arias family. You won the dignity, and no one can question your right to rule this land.

"In addition, the family has just donated a large sum of money to build the statue of the Goddess of Life for His Majesty, so it is impossible to pay so much money now. It is impossible for me to agree to her unreasonable request anyway. But after that, she..."

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

"Later, Mrs. Vanessa threatened me that if I refused to cooperate with her, she would annex my land and kill my people, but for the sake of the hundred golden lions before, she will finally spare I die."

After Pep finished speaking, his handkerchief was almost soaked in sweat.

"Are you afraid, Lord Pep?" Ilea asked.

"Yes, a little bit."

"Then are you afraid that I will hold you accountable for the one 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 lot of ridicule. There are many timid nobles, but it is very rare to be so timid and undisguised.

Even the oppressive atmosphere brought by Herodotus earlier was dispelled by his funny performance.

Miss Rabbit didn't laugh, but rather admired the short and fat man.

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

It's as if two people were fighting in full view, and one of them fell to the ground as soon as the scene started.

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

Pep even brought Vanessa's letter to him and handed it to Ilea, like a student handing in homework to the teacher.

Miss Rabbit didn't make things difficult for the head of the Welch family anymore, and let him leave the castle with the others after the banquet.

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

Although Hernan looked a little silly, his death still had a considerable impact on the Western Territory.

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

At the beginning, High Priest Martina fled from Multiscale City to go to Lake City. The Mariel family was the first to respond to her call, and High Priest Martina also formed a cathar army there, fighting all the way back to Multiscale. city.

Herodotus obviously had enough reasons to launch an attack on the Mariel family, even though this time it seemed more like an accident.

And the angry Judith didn't know what kind of revenge he would launch against the Blood Moon Society and Herodotus.

As for the female lord who just turned 19 years old, all the guests were surprised at her fate.

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

Especially that golden rose, the exquisite and vicious mechanism design inside made many people stand on their heads.

Since it was Hernan who died, Miss Rabbit wasn't very frightened at the time, but afterward, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

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

Ruby and Miss Rabbit finished their drinks, but Greta only took a couple of sips before putting down the bowl and looking up to see the female lord staring at her, "I finally know why Merlin values ​​you so much, I didn't expect you Not only can he call the mouse, but he can also reason in such a slippery way."

"It's not about ordering them, I treat them as family members." Greta corrected word by word.

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

The female lord then thought of Ruby at 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 female lord's arms, "Who is your family now, have you obtained other people's consent first?"

However, Miss Rabbit acted as if she didn't hear it, and patted Greta on the shoulder and said kindly, "Since we are already a family, as for the debt..."

The sarcasm that Greta had originally poured into her mouth suddenly couldn't speak, and even let the female lord hold her in her arms again.

"It can be halved."

"Isn't it all exempted?" Greta's face darkened when she heard this.

"You owe me more than 2000 gold coins, and if you halve it, it will be [-], which is a lot." Miss Rabbit said, "This is a family discount, so just tell me if you want it or not?"

Greta was silent again, accepting this statement.

This is probably the continental version of Bratis where a penny can't beat the hero Han.
