Working Prophet.

Chapter 209 Love and Mead

Ilea played with electronic pet eggs for most of the night, and finally became a little sleepy. As a result, not long after she closed her eyes, she was woken up again by the sound from outside the door.

Miss Rabbit turned over and originally planned to continue sleeping, but changed her mind after lying down for a while, got up from the bed, put on some clothes casually, and opened the door.

"What happened?" the girl asked a group of guards passing by the door.

The leader stopped in his tracks, "Sorry, Miss Ilea, something happened in the dungeon. Gabriel attempted to assassinate Lord David, but was beheaded by the guards who arrived."

"Gabriel is dead?" The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, but she was not surprised by this result, as it is absolutely impossible for Gabriel to survive the crimes he committed.

But the female lord did not expect Gabriel to die so quickly.

She had just brought people to Yanxue City, but Gabriel died within a day.

The girl had to spend some time digesting the news, and after a while she said, "Master David..."

"Master David saw through the trick on the other side, and he was fine, but suffered a slight injury on his arm, and the prisoner cut the skin with a knife."

"I don't quite understand, where did the knife in Gabriel's hand come from?" Ilea frowned.

"That's what we want to know too. Master David has asked someone to investigate this matter," the leader said, "If you have nothing else to do, please stay in the room as much as possible and don't move around. The captain of the guard, Levin, is worried that there are other assassins, but the Marquis Mansion is already strengthening its security."

"Okay." Ilea nodded, watched the group of guards go away, and was about to go back to the room, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the security officer Brian.

The latter hurried past downstairs, frowning tightly, and walked in the direction of the meeting hall.

The girl hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and quietly followed.

There are guards outside the chamber, but Ilea doesn't need to be too close to hear the voices coming from inside.

"I've done a preliminary investigation, and I'm missing a dungeon guard named Praed. He was also one of the six people who escorted the winged bastard back to the dungeon during the day. He was supposed to stay in the dungeon tonight, but Not long after the sun went down, he made an excuse and left early."

Then came David's voice, "Do you think he secretly gave Gabriel that pocket knife?"

"Although I still don't want to believe that guy Praed dared to betray me, but at present, it seems that there is only one explanation." Tie Mian said.

"I have sent people to his place, but there is no one there, Praed, his wife and daughter are gone, and some small and valuable trinkets that are convenient to carry have been taken away by them. "

"The city gate was already closed when Praed left."

"That's right, that guy can't escape, and when I find him, I must stuff a pear up his ass!" the sheriff growled.

Even after dozens of steps away, the girl's ears still ached from Brian's roar.

But then the voice of the sheriff became low again, "This time I was lax in my rule, and I didn't know anything about my subordinates being bribed, and I even got you assassinated. Do not quit."

"It's nothing, it's not your fault. My younger brother is very good at demagoguery, and he is a member of the Figuerola family. It's normal for someone under your command to work for him," David said.

"But no matter what, this is my dereliction of duty. If I make a mistake, I will pay the price." Sternly said, "I will resign as the sheriff after I find Praed."

"No!" David refused without hesitation. "The achievements of these years of work are obvious to all. It is impossible for Yanxue City to lose an excellent sheriff because of such a trivial matter."

"But you..."

"As I said, there is nothing serious about my hand. In fact, now is the time when I and the Figueirola family need you the most. Sir Brian, are you going to abandon me at this critical moment?"

"of course not."

"Very good," David's voice slowed down a bit, "Then hurry up and find Praed and my brother."

"I won't let you down."

Miss Rabbit then heard footsteps coming from the meeting hall, but it was too late for her to retreat upstairs. It would be too embarrassing to be bumped at this time, so the girl quickly hid behind a piece of armor .

Fortunately, the magistrate was full of thoughts at the moment, and he didn't look around when he left. He just walked past the female lord and left the Marquis's mansion.

Before the girl had time to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard David's voice from the other side of the chamber, "Is the person outside, Miss Ilea?"

The female lord's heart suddenly turned cold, but there was no point in hiding at this time.

She could only stand up from behind the armor, straightened the cloak on her body, and walked towards the meeting hall.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

"I know, you just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came here by chance." David said.

"Uh...how did you find me?"

"armor."

"what?"

"Those armors, your shadow is reflected on them." David explained.

"Oh, I didn't notice." Miss Rabbit felt more and more embarrassed, she could only forcefully change the subject, pointing at David's arm, "How's your hand?"

"I can still hold the sword, so there is nothing wrong."

"I'm sorry." The girl whispered.

"Why do you suddenly apologize, Miss Ilea, this time it has nothing to do with you."

"If I hadn't urged you too hard, you probably wouldn't have gone to interrogate Gabriel at such a late night. Maybe tomorrow, the guards in the dungeon will find out about his possession of the knife."

"Maybe, but my brother will definitely think of other ways to deal with me." David said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you, if you hadn't caught Gabriel and exposed him and my brother. If you tell me that Hulse is not dead, I will not be more vigilant, and I am afraid that it is not the hand that was injured tonight."

"Ha, this is what I should do. Compared with a sinister and cunning person like Hells, a benevolent and just person like you is more suitable to be the next master of the Western Territory. This is my heart."

"If that day really comes, I also hope that Miss Ilea and your Arias family can continue to serve me. Your support is very important to me."

"I will." The girl said without thinking, and after she finished speaking, she found that David was still staring at her with burning eyes.

Miss Rabbit blushed and reminded, "Master David..."

"Oh, I was a little distracted just now. Rock Snow City is some distance away from Acorn Fort. Sir Carloman should not have arrived so soon, so I was thinking... I don't know if you are free tomorrow, Miss Ilea. The theater troupe from the capital intends to hold a performance in the city."

"The troupe, or is it from the capital?" The girl opened her eyes wide.

"That's right, the owner of the theater troupe happened to know me too, and he was very interested in your story about slaying dragons. After all, there have been no dragons on the continent of Bratis for more than 3000 years, so he asked me if I could Talk to you, he plans to adapt this experience of yours into a drama or something."

"What, a story with me as the protagonist?!"

"Don't worry, he will pay."

"You just said that they came from the capital, which means that they will go back to the capital, and then perform my story in the capital?" Miss Rabbit gasped.

"To be exact, Love and Mead will not only perform in the capital, but they will also tour the mainland every once in a while, so..."

"So even elves and dwarves know my name?! Oh my god... I'm not dreaming."

"No, you are a hero in the first place, and your achievements should be celebrated."

"Wow, I don't want to lose my composure, but this is too... I can't find words to describe my current mood," the girl had to take a deep breath to slow down her heart rate a little.

David smiled, "You'll get used to it all. I'll just take it as if you accepted it, and we'll set off together after lunch tomorrow."

　Well, there will be an update tonight, everyone go to bed early.
