I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.
Chapter 34 The Sheriff's Secret
"Doyle, why do you seem absent-minded lately?" Luo Shiqi saw that Doyle was always absent-minded during this period, and his eyes were full of worry.
"Alas, it's all because of this horrible weather. I was planning to go for a stroll in the Great Wilderness in a few days, but now, all the plans have gone down the drain." Doyle looked dejected.
He usually likes to run outside. Teaching Luo Shiqi to practice magic in the past few months has been very tiring. He finally has a chance to relax, but it was all ruined by this horrible weather!
After hearing this, Luo Shiqi held his hand and said sincerely: "Don't be sad, Manjusaka and I can play with you."
Seeing how concerned he was, Doyle added, "Actually, I don't have to go so far to play. The main reason is that I have a friend who just moved to the Great Wasteland not long ago. Now the weather is suddenly so bad, and I'm worried that something might happen to her."
Luo Shiqi was puzzled: "Doesn't the book say that snow is romantic? How can it be dangerous?"
Doyle waved his hand and said, "That's what the rich say. For ordinary people, it's good enough to survive such a bad snowy day. Don't be fooled by the beautiful snowflakes. I don't know how many crops will be frozen to death and how many people will starve to death if this snow falls!"
Luo Shiqi was horrified when he heard this: "Then... is there no other way to help your friend?"
Hearing this, Doyle's distressed face immediately broke into a brilliant smile: "Not really, we can wait until the weather is better before going to the Great Wasteland."
"Oh——" Luo Shiqi was a little confused. He stretched out two fingers and asked, "We mean?"
"Of course you come with me!" Doyle's face suddenly became excited: "Then use your golden flame to clear all the snow on the ground, then we can get out, right?"
"Will this work? Manjushage won't agree, right?" Luo Shiqi felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart. Why did he feel that Doyle was deliberately acting sad, just waiting for him to ask, and then throw out a solution?
"I'm already eighteen years old, and you don't look like a child. Our magic is top-notch, so what can happen? Just tell your sister that you want to go for a walk outside the castle to deepen your understanding of magic, and she will definitely agree." Seeing that Luo Shiqi was a little hesitant, Doyle immediately gave him advice.
"Okay then." Luo Shiqi nodded, thinking that he had indeed been tricked by Doyle.
At this moment, Cora suddenly came over and said to the two people who were plotting loudly, "Mr. Luo Shiqi, Master Doyle, please go to the gate and take a look. Miss Manjushage seems to be in some trouble."
At the castle gate, a handsome middle-aged man dressed as a knight led a large group of people to surround Manjushage. It seemed that his intentions were quite bad. "Miss Manjushage, we have received a report that someone has accused you of secretly refining potions. In order to ensure your innocence, please come with us."
As he said this, the man dressed as a knight signaled his men with his eyes to capture Manjushage.
But Manjushage felt a little puzzled: "When did I secretly make a magic potion?"
The middle-aged man dressed as a knight first bowed to Manjushage, then said in a calm voice: "Miss Manjushage, I am the sheriff of the Knights. I recently received an anonymous letter of complaint from this castle, saying that you are suspected of secretly refining potions. This is a serious matter and I have to take it seriously. Please actively cooperate with our work."
After saying that, he took out the letter and handed it to Manjushage.
The letter described in detail the process of Manjushage making the potion, saying that she did so in order to charm Luo Shiqi and keep him in the castle.
But after winning Luo Shiqi's heart, Manjushage was still not satisfied. She increased the dosage of the medicine she refined, mixed it into everyone's food, and seduced all the men in the castle.
Although it was an anonymous letter, Manjushage knew that it must have been sent by Ruthmary.
During this period of time, she couldn't do bad things with Donna, but she came up with something like this.
The ones coming are the Knights Templar. As a commoner, if Ruthmary is found guilty of framing a noble lady, she will be imprisoned for at least eight or ten years. How will she be able to contact Donna then?
In this way, the plan to catch them both in one fell swoop would be ruined!
But there is no time to worry about these things for the moment. The Knights are an army directly under the king. Even if they are eleven powerful lords, they will still be punished if they are caught by them.
Magic potions are highly addictive and harmful to health. They are also more valuable than gold and have caused many people to lose their families.
If she couldn't prove her innocence, she would have to go to jail even if Manjusaka was the lord's daughter.
She opened the envelope and used magic to briefly detect it, and she found the scent of Ruthmary.
Manjushage said bluntly: "Mr. Sheriff, I know who sent this letter. Can you please go find her?"
Soon, Sheriff Echo's men brought Ruthmary over, and she naturally refused to admit that she was the sender of the letter.
"Mr. Sheriff, I've been assigned by Miss Manjushage to do the hard work of a porter, and it's already hard enough. In the end, I have to bear such a crime. It's really unfair. You have to help me!" Manjushage was used to Ruthmary's tricks, but the sheriff knew nothing.
As long as she pretends to be a little pitiful, a middle-aged man like the sheriff will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of a young girl and will definitely be biased towards her.
However, Lycoris radiata always looks superior and naturally disdains to use such tricks.
Although no evidence could be found against Manjushage, Ruthmary had already made preparations in advance. As long as Manjushage offered to prove her innocence, she would fall into her trap, which would confirm her guilt.
As long as she could send Lycoris radiata to hell here, Ruthmary could rely on her dual identities as a caring person who had the courage to expose her and as a poor girl who had suffered oppression for a long time to smoothly take over everything she had and teach a good lesson to all those who had humiliated her!
Sure enough, the sheriff saw this and said to Manjushage: "This letter was written anonymously. How can you be sure that the sender is this girl?"
Manjushage smiled faintly: "I have the magic to manipulate blood. I can sense details that ordinary people cannot perceive through blood. It's like a letter that you think cannot be traced, but I can clearly feel the breath of Ruth Mary on it."
After that, she added: "Mr. Sheriff, if you don't believe me, you can give me your hand and let me show you what I can do."
Huisheng half-believingly stretched out a hand, and Manjushage grasped the calloused hand with her delicate hands, activated the magic power in her body, and patiently felt it for a while: "Mr. Sheriff, you are already forty years old this year, but you have never married. It's because there is a girl in your heart. She..."
Hearing this, Hui Ying quickly pulled his hand away, looking embarrassed and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Manjushage smiled slightly, and indeed hit upon the most difficult thing to say about Echo's treatment.
Huisheng adjusted his expression and turned back into the serious sheriff image. He turned to Ruthmary and said, "Since you wrote the letter, why don't you tell me how Miss Manjushage made the potion without anyone noticing?"
Of course, Manjushage didn't know what Ruthmary was thinking. She couldn't even figure out what was wrong with Ruthmary that made her do such a thing.
Although the weather has improved during this period, it is still inconvenient to move around. Even so, Sheriff Hui still brought his men here through the wind and snow as soon as possible, which shows how much they value this matter.
Ruth Mary dared to tease the Knights like this. Once her trick was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.
In the past, Manjushage just thought that Ruthmary was arrogant, but who would have thought that she was so stupid.
Of course, she didn't want to give up Ruthmary just like that, but she was the one in danger now. If she wanted to prove her innocence, she had to deal with Ruthmary.
It seems that we have to find another way to bring down Olivia's aunt.
