Chapter 408 This Is a Family Discount (Happy New Year)

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

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

The matter involved the internal struggle of the Arias family, which was indeed not suitable for public disclosure.

But it was too late to call Pep to talk to one side now, which would only make things worse.

Besides, the female lord was also half-believing and half-doubting the words of the short and fat man opposite.

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

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

Pep took the wooden box and was about to show it to the female lord, but he stopped immediately after hearing the words.

He simply opened the wooden box on the spot and took out the contents.

It was a silver brooch with a rabbit-shaped head, and one of the ears was a little worn.

"Is this brooch... Blanco's?"

Ilia recognized the origin of this thing at a glance.

"Yes, Vanessa gave it to me."

"Why?"

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

"How much?"

"About a hundred gold coins."

"I didn't expect you to be so generous." Miss Rabbit sneered.

"I was confused at that time and was deceived by her sweet words... I realized it after they left, and I couldn't find them when I sent people to chase them."

Ilia knew that the head of the Welch family was lying. This cunning short and fat man made a high-risk deal, betting on an heir who failed in the family internal struggle and was forced to flee the territory.

Hope that one day Blanco will be able to return to the Green Field and bring him a return far more than a hundred gold coins.

However, Miss Rabbit was too lazy to argue with him about this matter, and asked directly, "Why did that woman write to you again? Is she asking for money again?"

"Well, about two months ago, she said that she had found an ally, a powerful ally, and raised an army to regain the position of the head of the family for her son. She hoped that I could sponsor her military expenses again, about 5,000 gold lions, and she also called on Welch to join her army.

"Of course, I rejected her without hesitation. You successfully slayed the dragon and made a huge contribution to the stability of the Western Territory. Everyone owes you a favor.

"In addition, you defeated your brother in the presence of Marquis Cullen, Sir Romero and others, and became the head of the Arias family. You won the title uprightly, 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 your majesty, and now it is impossible to pay so much money. I can't agree to her unreasonable request anyway. But then, she..."

"What happened afterwards? "The female lord frowned.

"Lady Vanessa threatened me afterwards that if I didn't cooperate with her, she would annex my land and kill my people, but she would spare my life in the end for the sake of the 100 gold lions. "

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

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

"Yes, a little."

"Are you afraid that I will hold you accountable for the 100 gold coins, or are you afraid of my stepmother's army?"

"Both. "Pep said with a bitter face.

His answer caused a lot of sneers. There are many nobles who are timid, but it is rare to be so timid and not to hide it.

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

Miss Rabbit did not laugh, but she admired this short and fat man.

He put himself in such a low position that the female lord found that even if she wanted to make trouble for him, she couldn't do it.

It's like two people fighting in public, and one of them fell to the ground at the beginning.

If you continue to kick him at this time, you will become the bully in the eyes of others.

Pep even brought the letter written by Vanessa to him and handed it to Ilia, like a student handing in homework to the teacher.

Miss Rabbit did not embarrass the head of the Welch family anymore. After the banquet, she let him leave the castle with others.

In fact, when it came to the second half, Most people seemed absent-minded, and their minds were obviously no longer on the banquet itself. As soon as it ended, they stood up and said goodbye.

Although Hernan looked a little silly, his death still had a great impact on the West.

This was the second important member of the Malir family to die.

When High Priest Martina fled from the Multi-Scale City, she went to the Lake City. The Malir family was the first to respond to her call. High Priest Martina also formed a religious army there and fought all the way back to the Multi-Scale City.

Herodotus obviously had enough reasons to attack the Malir family, even if this incident looked 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 had just turned 19, the guests were surprised that she was lucky.

Herodotus arranged two rounds of attacks, but she escaped them all.

Especially the golden rose, the ingenuity and viciousness of the mechanism design inside made many people shudder.

Since it was Hernan who died, Miss Rabbit was not too frightened at the time, but she became more and more scared the more she thought about it afterwards.

When most of the guests had left, she took Greta and Ruby to the study again and asked the maid to bring three bowls of carrot water, one for each person.

Ruby and Miss Rabbit finished theirs, but Greta only tasted two mouthfuls and put the bowl down. She looked up and saw the female lord staring at her, "I finally know why Merlin values ​​you so much. I didn't expect that you can not only command mice, but also play so well in reasoning."

"Not command, I treat them as family." Greta corrected word by word.

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

The female lord then thought of Ruby beside her and pulled the latter over.

"You saved my life. I declare that from today on, you are all my family!"

Greta rolled her eyes and broke free from the arms of the female lord. "Who is your family? Did you get other people's consent before you recognized your relationship?"

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

Greta suddenly couldn't say the ridicule that was about to come to her mouth, and even let the female lord hug her again.

"It can be halved."

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

"You owe me more than 2,000 gold coins, and halving it is still 1,000, which is a lot." Miss Rabbit said, "This is a family discount, just tell me if you want it or not?"

Greta was silent again, accepting this statement.

This is probably the Bratis mainland version of a penny that makes a hero fall.

There is only one update today, happy new year~
