Working Prophet

The expressions of the nearby guards changed drastically when they saw this.

This mechanism was designed very delicately and viciously. The arrow looked green, and it was clear that there was some poison on it, so that even if it missed the target's vitals, it would still kill the target.

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

Thinking of this, many people's backs were soaked with cold sweat.

Alfred's face also didn't look good, 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 completed the work assigned to me by the prophet Merlin. If you want to thank me, why don't you thank Shuangxiujiao."

"Of course we will also be grateful to you during the weekends, but the Arias family will not forget your contribution. Miss Ilea will also prepare a thank you gift for you later."

Greta snorted, looking indifferent.

Just when Ruby thought that the girl who controlled the mouse was quite handsome, she didn't expect that the latter only lasted a few breaths before she couldn't help but change her words, "Then you ask her to forgive me some debts."

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

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

Ruby knew that although she was very cautious, the things she had done before still made Alfred suspicious of her identity, plus she was now with Greta...

Just as he was thinking about how to lie and smooth over the matter later, Greta unexpectedly spoke first, "I found her and asked her to help with the investigation."

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

"I'm worried that I might alert someone," Greta said. "It's that simple."

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 the compliment, Sir Alfred." Ruby said respectfully.

The old knight nodded, "I will report the bronze statue to Lady Ilea right now. You can come with me and be a witness."

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

At this time, the banquet has begun, and the guests are feasting. With the sound of the piano and laughter, the hall is 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 pushy."

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

"You are thinking too much. I just hope to stay with Miss Ilea."

"When you say stay, do you mean lurking next to her?"

"I have no ill intentions towards Miss Ilea."

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

"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 something against them, such as tying up the son of the head of the family, 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 anxious these past two days, and he didn't make up his mind until the last minute."

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

Greta sighed, "This is 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 Doesn’t that 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 closed 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 have no interest in dealing with humans, especially nobles." Greta sneered.

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

Alfred didn't force it when he heard this. The identities of the two people were indeed different from the people inside. It would probably not be comfortable if they were forced to be together.

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

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

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

"Beautiful Sir Ilea, I wish to perform 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 finished speaking, Hernan on the ground took out a bouquet of roses from her 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 rapid.
