Working Prophet.

The female lord counted the days, Li Yu should be back tonight, so she didn't have the heart to do other things in the afternoon.

After dealing with a dispute over the spoils of his generals, he planned to run away, but he was about to leave when he saw a guard coming to report that Romero Goldfinger had come to see her.

Miss Rabbit was a bit surprised that Romero had been staying in Syracuse Rock, assisting her aunt Alisa and great-grandmother Ona in running the city.

After all, it was once the territory of the Figuerola family. Even if she has occupied it now, it will take time for the locals to fully recognize it.

Hearing that Romero came to look for her, Ilea thought that something happened in Yanxue City.

But she just contacted Alisa yesterday through the radio station of the weekend school. At that time, Rock Snow City was generally stable, and Romero should have already left the city.

Miss Rabbit couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and waited for Romero to say it herself.

The financial officer looked like he was in the dust. He must have come all the way and hadn't had a lot of rest in the middle. His face was tanned a lot, and his clothes were covered with dust. However, he still saluted the girl first after entering the door.

"Lord Ilea."

"Sir Romero."

"I heard that the battle is going well, and it looks like you will soon be able to regain the entire western border."

The female lord nodded, "This is all the result of everyone's heroic efforts. In addition, the dragons, Italian cannons and three-eyed birds from Shuangxiujiao also helped a lot."

"Then wait a few more days and you can announce to the entire continent that you have become the new owner of this continent."

"Well, let's wait until Prophet Merlin comes back. There's no rush in this matter anyway. Sir Romero, are you here just to ask me when the war will end?"

Romero pondered for a moment and then said, "My visit this time is indeed related to the current war."

Ilea raised her eyebrows, quietly waiting for his next words.

"An old friend asked me to ask you, can Ilkander and his soldiers be spared."

"Old man, what old man?"

"Sir Leo, who has dealt with you several times before."

"Leo? That guy is still alive." Miss Rabbit was a little surprised. After the fall of Lionheart Castle, she heard that except for Garth's wife and daughter who escaped, the rest of the Vespasian family were killed by those wings. The tribesmen were put to death.

Romero said, "Sir Leo found a place to hide a week before the city was broken. Those Yi people couldn't catch him, and there was nothing they could do. Oh, by the way, he also saved Lord Claudio."

"Master Claudio is still alive?" The female lord was really surprised this time.

Claudio is the second son of Edward II, the younger brother of the last emperor of the empire, Gals, and has the purest Vespasian bloodline.

Ilea was no longer the political novice who knew nothing before. Her head turned quickly, thinking of the information revealed by Gabriel during the previous interrogation, so she blurted out.

"Second Son Alliance."

Romero's expression changed slightly after hearing these three words, "Have you... also heard of the Second Son Alliance?"

"I know that Leo is from the Second Sons," Ilea said, "So Claudio has also joined the Second Sons. Does the Second Sons want to push him out as the new emperor? What about you?" , are you a member of the Second Sons, Sir Romero?"

Romero nodded and said frankly, "I did join the Second Sons Alliance, just four years ago."

"But I remember that you are your father's eldest son."

"Not all the second sons are in the Second Sons League." Romero said, "This mysterious organization was established to help the second sons improve their situation, and the core members are all the second sons of the twelve major families.

"But after they unite the power of the second sons, they are already very influential, and they are also attractive enough to small and medium nobles like me.

"And if the Second Sons League wants to continue to grow, it must absorb more fresh blood to help them do things. We joined the Second Sons League at that time, but our status in the organization is not as high as the first batch of people.

"Did Hells introduce you to join?" Ilea asked.

"That's right." Romero didn't hide it, "Master Hells is an important member of the organization."

"Where is Oh, is he your leader?"

"No one knows who the leader of the Second Sons is. He has been hiding in the dark, observing everything, and planning everything. Leo is the liaison officer, responsible for contacting everyone and conveying his orders."

"Ilkander is also a member of the Second Sons?"

Romero nodded, then shook his head again, "For safety reasons, most members of the Second Sons do not know each other's identities, I don't know if Ilkander is a member of the organization.

"I just received an order to save him as much as possible, so I came to you in such a hurry."

However, after learning the whole story, the female lord said, "I can't let him go, he is the murderer who killed the Marquis of Cullen."

"Ilkander said it was a misunderstanding. At that time, they were besieged in the valley by those dwarves. Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the Marquis of Cullen asked Ilkander to kill him as evidence to prove his loyalty to the dwarves. .

"After gaining the trust of those dwarves, Ilkander left the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, intending to warn you and the reinforcements you led not to fall into the trap of those dwarves.

"But in the end he and you missed in the mountains."

Miss Rabbit couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this, and she admired the courage and determination shown by Marquis Cullen at that time.

After a moment she asked again, "Does Ilkander have evidence?"

"No, given the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for him to leave any evidence, otherwise he would probably be spotted by those dwarves, and then not only would he die, but he would also be unable to bring the news out of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range."

The female lord rubbed her chin, "Galin seems to have mentioned it to me when you said that, she said that Ilkander doesn't look like someone who would betray the honor of knights.

"But I couldn't let him go just based on Ilkander's words. After all, many people saw that he murdered Marquis Cullen."

Romero also understood that it was difficult to clear up the grievances of Ilkander, so he said again, "The Second Sons hopes to make a deal with you."

"What deal? I'm not very short of money now." Ilea said.

"It's not money, your becoming the Lord of the Western Territory is a certainty, but there may still be people who will make a fuss about your status.

"If you are willing to let Ilkander go, then Claudio can make you the lord of the western region in the name of the Vespasian family, so that you and your family can live in the western region forever."
