Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Daisy, the Duchess of Fern, never expected that there would be people who were not afraid of death sneaking into her house, but she hadn't been able to catch them yet.

The incident happened on the ninth night after the earthquake, the eve of Daisy's departure from the capital.

That night, Daisy returned from the ball given by Earl Derryraps.After washing, she didn't rest, but planned to visit her governess, Miss Lillian, first.

When she first came to a place twenty feet away from Lilian's room, she felt something was wrong—there was no maid here, and there was a weird feeling in the air.Years of experience and intuition told her that there might be danger around here.

Not far away was Lilian's room, and Daisy's heart tightened suddenly. She nimbly picked up a decorative long sword from the weapon rack next to her, drew the sword out of its sheath, and rushed to Lilian's room silently.

At the same time as she kicked open the door, she happened to see two black figures disappearing out of the window.Daisy took a quick glance at Lilian, seeing that she was sleeping soundly on the bed, and rushed to the window, looking for the shadow.However, it was pitch black outside the window and she saw nothing.

By the time she confirmed Lilian's safety and ordered the guards to search for the intruder, only one minute had passed.However, even though the guards turned the entire mansion upside down, they found nothing. It was confirmed that Lilian had only inhaled some sleeping potions. Daisy sat next to Lilian, looking at her pale and weak sleeping face, full of doubts.

Lilian was three years older than Daisy, and Daisy's mother hired her to educate Daisy's three younger brothers and instill some knowledge in music and painting for Daisy.After Daisy became Duke, her younger brothers left home one after another, but Lilian stayed behind.She was sick for a long time, and her body was getting worse, and Daisy had been taking care of her.Now her health is extremely poor, and she spends most of the day lying on the sick bed.

When the intruder came to Lilian's place, was it just burglary or another conspiracy?A thief would not choose a tutor's room, and Lilian would be nothing more than a tutor if she had other plans, and would not have much value to covet unless...

Daisy got up and went out, and told the housekeeper: "Ms. Karin, pack your bags as soon as possible, we will go back early tomorrow morning."

On the morning of the tenth day after the earthquake, Daisy, the Duchess of Finn, left Black Edge City and headed for her own territory.

When Black Edge City disappeared on the horizon, two fearless guys stopped her carriage, asked to see her by name, and asked to have a private conversation.Daisy was very unhappy about this, and she sent her housekeeper, Ms. Carin, to get rid of the two nagging guys, but the housekeeper returned after a while, and whispered something in her ear nervously.

Daisy thought for a moment, and decided to meet these two people.

After making sure that the people in the team couldn't hear the conversation, Daisy asked coldly: "Mr. Vera, Mr. Tails, I remember that I have rejected your deal twice, do I need to reject the third time? "

Vera wore his black robes today, making no secret of his mage status.He blinked and replied: "Your Excellency, since you are willing to see us alone, I think you will probably not refuse a third time. I originally planned to visit you formally, but I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry. Don't come after me."

"Tell me your reasons," Daisy ordered.

"Your Excellency the Duke." Vera maintained a hypocritical smile, "I heard that your tutor, Ms. Lilian, is not in good health. It just so happens that Tails and I have something to do with it. If we can heal her pain, can you Would you consider our deal again?"

Daisy didn't answer, she turned her eyes around Vera and Tails, and asked flatly, "Mr. Vera, are you a mage?"

"of course."

"Where were you and your companion last night?"

"What time period do you mean?"

"Eleven thirty-seven at night." Daisy stared at Vera and Tails closely.

"If I remember correctly, Tails and I should be at your house at that time." Vera replied frankly.

"I really want to know where your confidence comes from, the uninvited intruders."

Tails interjected: "I've made sure. If there are no accidents, that Lilian is probably going to die, and she won't live for three years at most. Don't you want to save her?" His golden brown eyes stared at Daisy, observing her His expression changed.Daisy looked indifferent, but Tails could still see the panic in her eyes for a moment.He continued to persuade: "I know she is very important to you. Although I don't know how to cure diseases, I can prolong her life. I can't guarantee it. There should be no problem in ten years. And she will be very good in these ten years. healthy."

Daisy asked seriously: "She is just my brother's tutor. Do you think I will agree to your deal for this? If Neru goes to war with Tutan, how many soldiers do you think I will lose? How many people will be implicated?" ?”

"Your Excellency, we have no intention of provoking a war. As I told you, we only need you to make a gesture. If you are not mad, Neru will not offend the mighty Tutan for this, and if they are really crazy, Then you will have a battle with them sooner or later, and it doesn’t make much difference if this battle comes earlier or later.” Vera followed the temptation, his slender black eyes revealed unprecedented sincerity, “If Tails’s life is in danger, I will You are willing to give everything to save him, and I believe you are the same. There is only one Lilian. There is no conflict between saving her and protecting your people."

Tails gave him a suspicious look.

Daisy was silent.The morning wind blew up the corners of her casual clothes and her long brown hair, making her serious face look a bit lonely.

Finally, she said calmly: "Lilian's illness has been going on for a long time. I have looked for almost all the priests and witches, and even secretly looked for the priest of Nilu, but they have nothing to do about it. Mr. Vera, Tower Mr. Ernes, I'm sorry. It's hard for me to trust you. Maybe you do have some skills, but it may be just a temporary illusion, only lasting until your purpose is achieved, or longer."

Tails frowned unhappily, "You doubt my ability?"

"Your ability, and credit."

"The Earl of Leinster can guarantee my credit. As for ability..." Vera smiled relaxedly and proudly, "My lord, my companion is different from ordinary priests. There are some things that even the priest of the Goddess of Life cannot do. to, but he can."

Tails puffed out his chest proudly.
