That's a fake elf

Palazzo Pegliano

After listening to Xion's report, Duke Mana was silent for a moment, took out a gold card from the Iron Bank from the drawer, placed it on the table, sighed and said:

"Let's end this matter right here. Seal the mouths of those who are aware of it."

"Your Majesty the Duke, I understand." Xion nodded, put away the gold card, bowed and bowed, and slowly exited the Summer Hall.

"Aren't you coming out yet?" Duke Mana glanced at the window, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

A woman wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared in front of Duke Mana's desk, and slowly took off the hood on her head, revealing her pretty face.

"I thought it was the little mouse, but I didn't expect it was you, dear Melissa." Seeing the person coming, Duke Mana showed a smile on his face.

"Shut up!" The woman with silver hair and red eyes suddenly became furious and appeared beside the Duke in an instant. She held down his head and hit him on the desk, causing the entire desk to collapse instantly.

"Okay, okay, I won't call you this name anymore." Duke Mana, who was pressed to the ground and unable to move, said with a wry smile.

"Why did you attack Ilya tonight?" the woman said suppressing her anger.

"It's just to distract Alice's attention from that old immortal. Don't worry, Ilya is still my granddaughter no matter what. I won't do anything to her." Duke Mana smiled.

"Are you lying?" The woman stepped on Duke Mo Na's head, and a big hole appeared on the ground. She seemed to be upset, and picked up Duke Mo Na's collar and was about to throw it out the window. .

"I can swear that everything I said is true." Seeing the woman's actions, Duke Mana suddenly changed his color and grabbed the window edge:

"If there are lies, I will definitely fall into the abyss in the future."

"I'm warning you, if you dare to kill my granddaughters again, even if you disobey my Lord Nephthys's order, and you will eventually be wiped out, I will take you away with you."

Realizing that she could not drag Duke Mana away, the woman's face turned cold:

"You know, I can say and do it."

Duke Mo Na nodded with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, what happened here?"

"fine!"

"Huh." Hearing the voice of the guard outside the door, the woman gave Duke Mana a cold look, then her body turned into a black mist and disappeared into the study.

Duke Mana got up from the ground and touched his face, shook his head helplessly, walked slowly to a standing clock, and turned the hands on it.

As the pointer retreated little by little, wisps of water appeared throughout the room, and then the damaged wooden table returned to its intact appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the injuries on his face disappeared.

. . . . . . . . . . .

The early morning sunlight passed through the white glass and shone on Li Ang's fair cheeks, giving off a little glimmer of light.

Feeling the dazzling light, Li Ang instinctively covered his face with the quilt, turned his back and continued to fall asleep.

Dong dong dong

Dong dong dong

Li Ang covered his ears and huddled under the quilt, trying to avoid the harassment of the sound, but the visitor did not seem to be discouraged at all. Not only did he not stop his movements, but he began to intensify his movements.

As if realizing that knocking on the door was useless, the other party kicked the door open and lifted the quilt angrily.

"Who, don't you know that disturbing people's dreams in broad daylight is hated by others?"

"it's me!"

"Ms. Alice."

Li Ang, who was directly awakened by the cold air, was about to get angry when he saw Duke Silver Moon in front of him and the half-elf maid beside her, and his face turned pale.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning, and you're still lying in bed sleeping. Don't you know that the day's plan starts in the morning?"

Duke Silveryue's face turned red, he snatched the clothes from the maid's hands and threw them directly on Li Ang, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"You have to be considerate of me. I just finished participating in a competition during the day yesterday, and had another battle with a cultist at night. Finally, I had to help clean up the manor, so I finally got some sleep."

Li Ang was sweating profusely after being stared at, and he didn't even know how to put on his clothes.

The maid next to her saw this and wanted to come over to help Li Ang get dressed, but he was so frightened that he waved her hands repeatedly.

Seeing him like this, the maid covered her mouth and snickered.

"This is no reason for you to be lazy. Don't forget the heavy responsibility you shoulder." Duke Silveryue said angrily:

"Get dressed, come to the garden, I want to introduce you to an important person."

"........"

Looking at Duke Silver Moon's serious expression, Li Ang nodded helplessly.

. . . . . . . . . . .

In the garden, Duke Silveryue held a ring in his hand and stared at Ilya intently. He seemed to have no feeling at all about Leon's arrival.

Instead, Ilya, who was meditating, moved his nose slightly, opened his eyes suddenly, showed an expression of surprise, and rushed towards Li Ang.

"Cousin Li Ang!"

"Ilya, what are you doing?" Duke Silveryue said expressionlessly.

"Cousin Li Ang, protect me!" Ilya shivered and immediately hid behind Li Ang, shrinking back like a child who was caught after doing something bad.

"..." Seeing the cold look in Duke Silver Moon's eyes, Li Ang smiled bitterly.

He himself was afraid of Duke Silvery Moon, so how could he serve as a shield for Ilya.

"Hey, cousin Li Ang, do you still remember what you said last night?" Ilya muttered softly.

"What?"

"You said you would help me solve the magic problem!" Ilya pouted, looking unhappy.

"Don't worry, I'll remember it." Li Ang rubbed the girl's little head and said with a look of love on his face.

"I knew that cousin Li Ang was the best to me." Ilya jumped up excitedly and touched Li Ang's face, which immediately stunned Li Ang.

"Ilya, come out!" Duke Silveryue's face darkened, he grabbed Ilya's ears and walked out of the garden.

"Hey, hey, mother-in-law, please don't pull my ears!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong, I will never cheat again!"

Ilya, who was carried back to the garden by Duke Silveryue, looked like he was about to cry. He was holding his buttocks while walking, obviously he had been beaten.

"Leon, I know you want to use the power of goddess Asha to solve Ilia's problems, but it's useless." Duke Silveryue said solemnly.

"Why?" Li Ang was shocked.

"The magic power in Elijah has been entangled with her soul since she was born. Over the past ten years, they have become inseparable. Once removed, it will damage the root."

Duke Silveryue smiled bitterly.

"Can't even Goddess Asha solve it?" Li Ang said in disbelief.

"I once asked Goddess Asha for advice on this issue. She told me to harmlessly remove the magic power in Ilya's soul that does not belong to her, unless Nephthys, the goddess of darkness and the undead, takes action."

Duke Silveryue said helplessly:

"But ever since that goddess chose to abandon her divinity as the God of Light and degenerate into the God of Darkness and the Undead, we have already drawn a clear line with her."

"If you want her to take action, it will be difficult to reach the sky."

"Why does this magic involve the undead goddess?" Li Ang asked in confusion.

"Let me answer this for you!"

"Asterea, when did you go to dye your hair?"

Suddenly hearing a stranger's voice, Li Ang was startled. When he turned around and saw the other person's face, his face suddenly showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
