Working Prophet.

Chapter 60
Li Yu sent Nicole and others home first, and then took Clara and Jordi back to Teacup Castle. Before entering the door, Li Yu felt a sense of tension.

There were nearly twice as many guards guarding the gate as before he left, and they were all fully dressed and armed, and some people were walking around the city on patrol.

After seeing Jordi and Li Yu, he did not let them go immediately, but asked them a few questions first, and then someone went back to report.

After a while, Jude came out from inside and brought them in.

Li Yu asked, "Why didn't you see Alfred?"

The Javier knight who was in charge of the defense of the castle put down his burden and went home for the elderly, so Alfred took up this part of the responsibility temporarily, and he could often see the old knight patrolling around the city wall on weekdays.

Jude said, "After the incident, Alfred rushed to Ilea's side immediately, and then he stayed close to protect the stingy rabbit."

"Where's Fausto?"

"Director Fausto is quite suspicious. He is alone in his room right now."

Li Yu looked around again, and found that the store owner, the groom of the stable, and some servants by the well had all disappeared.

This time, without waiting for him to ask a question, Jude quickly replied, "The others are gathered in the hall on the second floor of the castle, and they are eliminating their suspicions one by one. By the way, Ilea is also there."

Li Yu heard the words and didn't ask any more questions, and went up to the second floor.

The hall, which was originally quite spacious, was already full of people at the moment, and it was a dark place, filled with the smell of sweat, feet, and even horse manure.

Miss Rabbit sat behind a long wooden table with a straight face. An old knight in armor and holding a long sword stood beside her, scanning the crowd in front of him with piercing eyes. His entourage, a man named Thomas, was standing next to her. Stand on the other side of the girl.

The two guarded Miss Rabbit, one on the left and one on the right, and there was another team of guards maintaining order.

In fact, not only the servants and handymen in the castle and those who stayed here for various reasons, but everyone from the Arias family and Ilea's blood relatives were also in the hall at the moment.

However, unlike civilians and servants, they still have chairs to sit on, but the expressions on many of their faces are not very good-looking.

Especially Ilea's great-grandmother Ona, her face was even more livid.

Although the girl didn't say it clearly, she called them here together, making it clear that she didn't trust them, and then contacted Ilea about all the things that happened after she took back the Teacup Castle.

Although the girl welcomed them back to the castle respectfully that night, she then forced them to rest on the grounds that they were exhausted from the journey, which was tantamount to depriving them of their power in disguise.

After that, regardless of the taint of surrender and betrayal of the master, he quickly promoted a group of knights such as Golden Snake and Purple Bird to fill the vacancies.

This move is chilling.

The aristocratic tradition of the Red Lion Empire has always focused on the family, because there are few relationships in this world that are stronger than blood.

In a critical moment, your subordinates may betray you, your friends may abandon you, and your allies may abandon you. Only family members will never leave you and are your eternal support.

Therefore, the important positions in the major families have always been controlled by their own family members, and what Ilea is doing now is almost a humiliation to them.

But now that there are assassins in the castle, the girl has not forgotten her relatives, calling them to be investigated together, this move is bound to make more people feel dissatisfied.

But no one expected that what made them even more angry was yet to come.

After seeing Li Yu, Yi Liya's eyes lit up, and her expression eased a lot. She seemed to be relieved, and waved to Li Yu, "You're back? Come on, sit here!"

While speaking, the girl pointed to the vacant space beside her. Not far away, her uncle, a man who was a little puffy and kept wiping sweat, couldn't help it immediately, and said, "Why? Why didn't he accept it? Cross-examination?"

"Because Merlin wasn't in the castle when the incident happened, uncle." Miss Rabbit explained.

This reason is irrefutable.

However, everyone knows that this is not the main reason, otherwise Ilea just needs to let this foreigner in black clothes stand aside, or continue to busy himself with his own affairs.

After realizing that an assassin might sneak into the castle, Ilea first called the guardian knight to protect herself, and then summoned the purple bird knight from outside the castle, and asked the latter to take someone to find Li Yu, and told the purple bird knight that he must To ensure Li Yu's safety.

None of her blood relatives could enjoy this treatment.

Except for the girl from the great-grandmother who sent someone to ask if Zui was in any danger, the rest of the people were directly invited to the hall.

Say yes, but in reality everyone knows they have no right to say no.

Ilea's great-grandmother Ona said coldly, "I've been in my room all afternoon and never came out. Why do you doubt me?"

"I didn't doubt you, great-grandmother, didn't I tell you early on that you just need to stay in the house, and I'll take care of the rest." The girl said innocently, "It's you who insisted on coming over here to take a look." .”

"If I don't come over and see you with my own eyes, I don't know what you will do to your family."

"I'm not that lunatic Vanessa, how could I hurt my own people?" Ilea said, "You don't have to worry at all, I just called everyone here to ask a few words. After all, it wasn't me who sneaked into the castle. A person is in danger, I believe everyone, like me, hopes to catch the assassin as soon as possible."

The girl's last words were somewhat meaningful.

Every member of the Arias family heard the overtones.

Lucio blushed, this kind old man was rarely angry, and raised his voice, "Are you suspecting that we are with Vanessa and Blanco and deliberately put the assassin in?" ?”

"I didn't say that." Miss Rabbit pouted.

She also remembered what Li Yu had analyzed with her before, that many people in the family knew that she would lose before the voting started.

So when an assassin appeared in the castle this time, her first reaction was to suspect that some of her relatives were in collusion with Vanessa, intending to kill herself, the real lord, and welcome Blanco back.

Of course, such things cannot be said in the open, at least not before the evidence is conclusive.

So Ilea didn't say anything more after denying it. She looked at Li Yu again, but she heard the latter say, "Go ahead, I'll just listen in."
