Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of her, a trace of doubt flashed in Mona's eyes.

"Ma'am, what a sudden disaster..." The butler cried hard. He claimed that he had escaped by going out, and when he came back, he found something was wrong with the manor. Fortunately, the elves in the manor had been cleaned up at that time, so he could leave alive to them.

After crying, the housekeeper's ability to handle affairs was still very strong. He quickly placed the corpses of several people, and he even burned the corpses of the elves outside.

However, before the funeral was held, the housekeeper ran over again.

This time to persuade them to leave.

"I know something about Miss." The steward's words were a little vague. He didn't want Mona and Dadalia to be wary of him, but he had to say something at this time, "Recently there has been a lot of movement in the elves, although this time Good luck escaping, but there is no guarantee that we will encounter similar things again..."

Dadalia raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "It's okay, I will protect her well."

The butler shook his head: "The elves who came this time are very weak, probably because they know about Mrs. Olivia's situation, and know that no one will protect the lady now, but this time they didn't succeed, so they know that the lady is protected by experts. The one who comes next time may be stronger."

"Oh? That's a coincidence, I also want to fight against the strong!"

Dadalia's reluctance made the butler very tired, but he still said firmly: "The current domestic situation is not stable. Friends can't get away now, if there is no power to protect, the strength of the strong alone is not enough for the upper elves..."

These words almost meant to belittle Dadalia.

Mona was a little dissatisfied, but noticed Dadalia winking at her.

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

"I...I didn't mean that..."

"Mr. Housekeeper." Mona said, she already understood what Dadalia meant.

Dadalia is not a child. Although he likes to be praised, he will not get angry and make trouble because of one or two belittling words from the housekeeper. Now he behaves like this, just to fight for her interests.

"Since you know my situation, you don't have to avoid me for many things."

After talking too much with Dadalia, Mona's speech gradually became smoother. She was writing a draft in her heart, but her face was very calm.

"For example, the question of power you refer to, and... my mother told me before she died that my name is Mona Hoss, but you also said that my biological father is the Duke of Valencia... I hope can know this."

It's really weird that the body of a child speaks mature words, but the two people present didn't care about it.

The butler seemed to be really loyal, and after Mona clearly expressed his attitude, he also said a lot of things for Mona.

Among them is the story of her mother in this life, Mrs. Olivia.

Mrs. Olivia is an alchemist, she is very obsessed with research, but she is more of a marriage tool as a nobleman, and after marriage, it is very difficult to study alchemy in depth.

But she was lucky enough to meet Mr. Reed Hawes, who was also a famous alchemist, and they had a common language. Even after they got married, Mrs. Olivia could always study her beloved alchemy.

It's a pity that the two have never had children. Someone once questioned Mrs. Olivia, suspecting that she could not have children. At that time, Mr. Hawes angrily ridiculed the doubters, and even raised the question of children From the point of view of both husband and wife, it can be regarded as a rare equalizer in this patriarchal society.

And his point of view has now been confirmed by Mona.

It was such a loving couple, but fate did not take pity on them. During an alchemy experiment, Mr. Reed Hawes passed away due to an accident.

Lady Olivia is a widow.

But her extraordinary appearance still attracted many men in the empire, and countless men wanted to make her their mistress, among them was the Duke of Wallens, who walked into the heart of Mrs. Olivia during her grief , successfully won her heart.

It's just that the Duke of Valernsteder is a playboy, and he rarely came here after Mrs. Olivia became pregnant. It was also because of this that Mrs. Olivia saw everything clearly and realized that the only one who really loved her in this world was Hoss. Mr. alone.

No one knows how Mrs. Olivia felt at the time, but she finally gave birth to Mona and gave Mona the surname of Howth.

"They really wanted a baby, and that's what Mr. Hawes has always regretted."

This is the end of the steward's account of the story.

After listening to the story, Mona was silent for a while. She looked at the pocket watch in her pocket. It was given to her by Mrs. Olivia before she died. Adding what she said at the time, it was obviously related to Mr. Reed Hawes .

"Is that why she asked me to call me Mona Hoss? I understand." She looked at the housekeeper and said seriously, "Can you give me the research materials on alchemy that your parents have studied before their death? I want to inherit their research results."

Hearing what she said, the butler softened his brows and eyes: "Of course, I will sort out some of them for Miss as soon as possible."

A part of it is mainly because of the large amount of research materials, and the housekeeper said that they will be given to Mona according to her learning progress.

"I'm done talking about my mother, and about my biological father and Mr. Hoss' friends? Is it because they can't get away now that the elf thinks that no one is protecting me?"

The butler was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mona to listen to everything he said, and even analyzed it.

From his point of view, even reincarnated people just have memories of previous lives, not everyone will become stronger because of reincarnation, he only knows some...

And this Miss Mona is obviously different from what he knows, so she is not easy to fool.

That being the case, he didn't hide much, and briefly described the situation of the remaining two parties.

The Duke of Wallenster is a water magician. His talent is powerful. With the support of his family, he has achieved remarkable strength at a young age. Not only that, he also expanded the business of the Wallenster family by several times. Times, can be said to be a very successful person.

Powerful, rich, and handsome have always been the labels of the Duke of Valenser. He was also welcomed by many ladies in the empire, and finally married a noble lady under the arrangement of the family.

However, such a perfect Duke of Valencia has a flaw that is fatal to women, that is, being fickle.

In addition to his own wife, he also has a large number of mistresses, some of whom are seeking his money and status, and some are deceived by his sweet words, and Mrs. Olivia is one of them. Although she is a widow, she is the most beautiful in the empire. widow.

This beautiful widow also has a network of alchemists, which makes Mrs. Olivia different from other women.

Countless men are overwhelmed by her beauty and envious of her connections. They want her and everything she represents.

Perhaps it was the success of her first love that made Mrs. Olivia a little naive. She believed the sweet words from the Duke of Valenser, thinking that he respected and loved her like her ex-husband, but she did not expect that when her contacts were When he used it, she lost the value of using it.

As for the title of the most beautiful woman in the empire?It's nothing if you get it.

As for the children?Are there few illegitimate children of the Duke of Valencia?

That's why Mona never met Cheap Dad.

"So Miss Mona, you may hear some deeds about the Duke of Valenser in the future, but please don't be deceived by his wealth and appearance. This man has no heart. He only has interests and himself in his eyes."

The butler summed it up like this.

As for Mr. Hoss's friends, the housekeeper didn't say much, mainly telling Mona their names and research directions, but Mona didn't quite understand the specifics at the moment.

And the troubles they encountered were beyond the control of the current Mona.

In addition, the housekeeper also explained a lot, Mona wrote down one by one, and finally agreed to leave here, after all, there is nothing they can do even if they stay.

So he prepared to go to the border with Dadalia to avoid the pursuit of the elves.

"After the lady leaves, I will close the manor, and I will come to clean it up during the period, and reopen it after the lady returns."

The butler briefly talked about the follow-up arrangements: "We will hold Mrs. Olivia's funeral in a low-key manner, but no matter how low-key it is, it will not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the elves. It is recommended that the lady not attend."

Mona nodded.

"There are a lot of border towns, Miss can go anywhere, at least the current search range of the elves can't reach there, but if you really want to choose, it is recommended to choose a place with a relatively harsh environment and fewer forests. I like it so much."

Hearing this, Dadalia became excited: "Oh? Is there a colder place? It often snows in my hometown."

Mona couldn't help but glance at him.

However, Dadalia is still sighing: "It would be even better if ice fishing can be done!"

"Yes." The steward nodded. He took out the map and pointed to a place, "The towns in this area can meet your needs."

Mona took a look and wrote down the names of these places.

"Hahaha, it's really reliable!" Dadalia laughed twice, and then took the butler's map, "Then let's go according to this?"

The butler was taken aback, apparently not expecting his actions, but he was not annoyed, nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, I will also arrange a carriage for you, after all, the materials requested by the lady are not convenient to carry."

The two of them didn't say much, acquiescing to the housekeeper's arrangement of travel supplies for them.

After getting into the carriage, Mona pulled Radadalia's clothes, asked him to lift the curtain of the carriage, and then asked the butler, "Mr. Steward, who are you?"

The butler stood at the gate of the manor. He was old, but his back was straight. After hearing what Mona said, the smile on his face remained unchanged.

It took a while to hear his pious voice.

"I believe in the Word of God."
