Chapter 212 Dangerous Person [Vefiya]
[Vefiya] lowered her eyes leisurely, indifferent to the noise outside.
Arnold and Kaharun exchanged a glance, the latter withdrawing his magic from the periphery of the room.
Arnold strode out. No matter what happened outside, it would be safest for him to take action.
He barely opened the door a crack, and a maid was pushed into the room in panic. Arnold quickly supported the maid's back with one hand, and stood in front of the door the moment she stabilized, preventing any unnecessary people from entering Vifia's bedroom.
The maid looked at Arnold's back in shock: "Thank you..."
Before she could finish her words of thanks, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head in surprise, a look of delight on her face: "Your Excellency the Marquis."
The originally indifferent [Vifiya]'s eyes moved, and she raised her eyes. The maid was looking at her.
Hmm~
It seems that what Jiang Suian did was extraordinary.
In this case, she couldn't just pretend she didn't see it and had even gone to the Marquis's bedroom.
She had no intention of disrupting everything Jiang Suian had worked so hard to build. Jiang Suian's soul had recently become exhausted and had to sleep for a while. Of course, she would clean up the situation for her.
[Vefiya] naturally threw off the quilt and prepared to get out of bed. She didn't care that her body didn't feel any discomfort.
Osa hesitated for a moment and stood in front of her.
Her meaning was very clear. [Vifiya] didn't know anything, so how could she come forward?
[Vifiya] sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the girl in front of her with blue hair and blue eyes. She had royal hair color and elf eyes. There was no such person in the Duke of Dordu's Mansion.
But her existence is a fact. Where did Jiang Suian find the person who appeared out of thin air?
[Vifiya] was in a very good state of mind to accept the person who had never existed before, or rather, how she appeared had nothing to do with her and she didn't care.
[Vefiya] held out her hand, motioning for Osha to move away.
There was a mess outside the door.
Mei stared at the middle-aged man in the patriarch's uniform at the head with an extremely ugly expression.
The servants who arrived tried their best to stop the Patriarch and his entourage.
Mei didn't expect that she had calculated everything, but missed one thing.
Vifia's current bedroom was the one she used to live in when she was a marquis's daughter. She should have moved to the bedroom of the marquises of all generations, but she didn't want to, and no one could persuade her.
The closest place to the Knights' location is the bedroom of the successive marquises.
Originally, it wouldn't have been a big deal if she didn't move. For the knights of the order, it would just be a few more steps.
But during the three weeks she fell into a deep sleep, Mei could vaguely sense that Vifiya's friend was not ordinary. In order to avoid being discovered by others, she asked the Knights not to guard the room too close.
However, the Knights should be arriving soon.
Behind her was Vifia's room. Mei was inevitably a little anxious because the Knights did not arrive immediately, but more of her was annoyance and anger.
I felt bad that I couldn't even do everything to protect Vifiya.
Angry that the damn church had the audacity to disturb Vifia.
Thinking of this, Mei's face became gloomy and a little scary for a moment.
She stood in front of the middle-aged man, her eyes full of ice: "Head Patriarch, you are rude."
The middle-aged patriarch had no awareness of his intrusion. He was startled by Mei's expression, but quickly adjusted his expression and said with a chuckle, "Earl Vance, the annual church repair funds have always been approved by the former Marquis of Caseley himself. The current Marquis can't break the rules. The Marquis has repeatedly refused to meet me..."
"Could it be..." He suddenly seemed to think of something and changed the subject, saying with a hint of meaning, "What have you done to the Marquis?"
Mei understood the meaning of his words in an instant. Damn it! He actually doubted her loyalty to Lady Vifiya!
She suppressed the anger rising in her heart. He actually doubted her loyalty!
Oh, I really want to chop his head off.
Will this bother Lady Vifiya?
Seeing that she looked frightened but didn't say anything, the Patriarch immediately put on an expression that showed she had been caught in a wrong position by him. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty, Count?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and walked towards Mei. After all, even if a woman successfully inherited the earldom, it would not change the size difference between men and women. Besides, he had a knight who was always by his side to protect him.
Mei's body did not move, but her hand had already reached behind her. Behind her was a dagger that Vifiya had given her for self-defense.
She was suppressing the urge to try to chop off the Patriarch's head.
As Mei's hand touched the dagger, a silver light flashed quickly in front of her.
Blood splattered onto the ground, and the middle-aged patriarch cried out in pain: "Ah!"
The knights brought by the middle-aged patriarch drew their swords and were about to step forward, but the man reacted extremely quickly and kicked sideways.
"Bang!" The middle-aged patriarch and the knights he brought were directly thrown against the tall pillar.
The sound was so loud that anyone could hear the force used.
The people brought by the middle-aged patriarch looked back and saw that although the middle-aged patriarch was supported by a knight, he was still spitting blood and had a huge scar on his hand.
Mei seemed to sense something and she looked at the person standing next to her.
"Wow, you're so rude."
Marin held the knife in one hand and yelled at the middle-aged patriarch. She frowned and wondered if he would dirty the pillars in the mansion.
His eyes fell on the bloodstains on the ground. No, it was dirty.
She raised the knife, moving the tip of the knife in front of each person in the church. She smiled and said, "Do you want to try it too?"
At the same time, the door opened and Arnold stood in front of the door. The deputy commander of the Knights, Naang, arrived with the knights and quickly took over the situation that had been briefly controlled by Marlene.
Seeing this, Marlene turned her head towards Mei and said, "Your expression just now was so scary. Fortunately, I wasn't scared."
Mei was startled. She whispered, "Then I'll be more controlled next time."
"What are you doing! I am the Patriarch. Do you want to be the enemy of the Church?" The middle-aged Patriarch was stood up like a prisoner, with blood dripping from his hands.
Mei Xun's reputation was in the past. The next thing he had to do was to deal with the middle-aged patriarch's unauthorized intrusion, but more importantly, he had to find out the traitor in the mansion.
Mei turned to Na Ang and said, "Deputy Captain, please control every entrance and exit of the mansion. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Hearing this, Na Ang signaled her not to worry: "The leader has already done it himself."
Mei nodded. This was a matter of Lady Vifia's safety, and she would never allow any more mistakes to happen!
The middle-aged patriarch shouted in dissatisfaction. He stared at Marin, who had hurt him, with disdain: "You're just a dog, yet you dare to hurt me."
The atmosphere in the open space in front of the house suddenly turned cold.
Not only Mei, but everyone in the Knights Order also had a grim look on their faces.
Marin often went to the Knights to fight with them. They had long regarded her as their sister. The knight who was holding the middle-aged patriarch secretly exerted force.
The middle-aged patriarch cursed, "Damn it! Don't you take the Church seriously? Or have you really done something to the Marquis? The entire Marquisate is under your control!"
Marlene thought about it seriously. After a while, she asked excitedly, "Are you angry out of shame?"
The middle-aged patriarch was struck by the thought: "You!"
"It's really ugly." A slow voice rudely interrupted the middle-aged patriarch's curse that was about to come out.
Everyone turned around in shock, only to see the owner of the Marquis's Mansion standing steadily in front of Arnold.
Arnold lowered his eyes, hiding his expression.
Mei smiled in surprise: "Lady Vifiya."
[Vefiya], wearing a woolen petticoat, glanced around calmly.
First of all, she is the person who has the power to command the Knights. Jiang Suian trusts her very much. Given Jiang Suian's personality, anyone who can hold certain power in the current Marquis' Mansion can be considered her confidant.
Well, believable.
[Vifiya] glanced at Mei, and when their eyes met, Mei and Marlene were stunned.
She did not intend to hide the fact that she was not Jiang Suian. Rather than making things difficult for Jiang Suian's so-called friends, she didn't mind letting Jiang Suian's confidants know that she was not her.
The people being controlled were wearing church attire. She knew that the church had the most people and was the most troublesome.
The red eyes fell on the middle-aged patriarch, and the eyes were light: "It's you who disturbed my rest."
A flash of surprise passed through the middle-aged patriarch's eyes, then disappeared in an instant.
Hmm? [Vefiya]'s expression remained unchanged. Jiang Suian was asleep, the church was in trouble, and the Patriarch's actions...
She lowered her eyes, a look of deliberate confusion on her face: "The goddess is truly kind, to tolerate such an ugly believer."
As if talking to himself, he stared into the eyes of the middle-aged patriarch and said seriously: "The goddess tolerates everything, and people like you are naturally one of them."
The middle-aged patriarch's face flushed crimson, and he didn't know what to say in rebuttal. The Marquis of Kesley was clearly insulting him, but she was using the name of God.
If he objected, she might take the opportunity to accuse him of being disrespectful to God.
He has worked hard to get to his current position, and he cannot be blamed for anything wrong.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the female marquis raised her hand and signaled the knight behind him to let him go.
Although the knights were puzzled, they still obeyed the order.
Mei hid her expression. She wasn't Lady Vifiya, so who was she? But this Vifiya hadn't done anything detrimental to the Marquis's Mansion, and Arnold hadn't stopped her.
Marlene rolled her eyes. Since no one had a different attitude, she wouldn't act rashly.
The Patriarch was stunned by Vifiya's sudden decision. He looked at her warily, wiped the blood off his face, and felt a pain in his back. He covered his bleeding hand with his hand, almost grimacing in pain.
He gritted his teeth. It had been a long time since he had been treated so rudely since he became the patriarch.
Without waiting for the other party to make things difficult, [Vefiya] smiled slightly and said, "Is there something important, Patriarch?"
The middle-aged patriarch stared thoughtfully at Vifiya, who looked concerned for him, unable to tell whether she really didn't know or was pretending not to know.
Thinking of his own purpose, he could only suppress his anger. "My Lord Marquis, the annual funds for the church renovations were approved by the former Lord Marquis himself. This year, I repeatedly requested an audience, but the Lord Marquis's refusal was always conveyed by Earl Vance. Naturally, I am worried about the Lord Marquis..."
The rest of the words were not explained clearly, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what it meant.
[Vefiya]'s smile gradually faded.
The Patriarch was surprised. No way, did Marquis Kesley really believe it?
[Vefiya] ignored the looks from Mei and the others. She took a few steps forward, her eyes gradually turning disgusted. "You know I refused, Patriarch. This is your fault. I will ask the Pope what the Church means."
Well, now it is certain that the patriarch in front of us is a discarded pawn.
Anyone smart enough in the Marquis's Mansion would know to suppress the news of Jiang Suian's coma. So during the period of suppression, no matter how many reasonable reasons the Patriarch had, he was simply covering up a fact.
He wanted to see Jiang Suian.
On the other hand, the purpose of meeting Jiang Suian was that someone in the church's upper echelons received news that she might be in a coma.
She knew that Jiang Suian was not in a coma normally, so the church's actions were intriguing.
There are two possibilities. One is to determine whether Jiang Suian is really in a coma, and the other is to determine the reason for Jiang Suian's coma. The latter will be very difficult.
[Vefiya] did not let anyone around her realize her murderous intentions.
That person is very likely to know some of Jiang Suian's secrets.
The opponent is the church, and the main participants will only be the church’s top leaders, or in other words, the person who can use the patriarch is most likely the Pope.
Thinking of this, [Vefiya] smiled, her eyes filled with malice: "Patriarch, will we be blamed for returning empty-handed?"
Jiang Suian, what a big deal! What have you done to make the church sacrifice a patriarch to confirm your status?
Her joy at this moment was not fake.
Jiang Suian, ah Jiang Suian, you really remembered what I taught you.
Whatever value they use in exchange for your information means that your value is at least of the same level.
There was surprise in the Patriarch's eyes, and she seemed to see through his true purpose.
[Vefiya] pointed at the Patriarch's hands with her fingertips. "Throw it away! Chop it off! Don't dirty the ground."
The Patriarch is no longer useful.
She didn't want Jiang Suian to wake up and smell the blood in front of the bedroom.
The knights who had been waiting for her order carried it out without hesitation.
The Patriarch's face changed. Seeing that she was serious, he was horrified. He had underestimated the madness of Marquis Kesley.
He ignored the pain in his back and struggled: "I am the Patriarch of the Church, you can't touch me!"
He looked at the controlled followers and knights and said, "What do you do for a living?"
He is the Patriarch! He is the Patriarch!
"Are you going to be an enemy of the Church?" the Patriarch asked loudly.
Vifiya raised her eyelids and said with a half-smile: "Patriarch, is it true that the money allocated by the Marquisate for church repairs every year is all used to repair the church?"
The Patriarch was stunned. Her eyes were too firm, as if she really knew something.
Seeing the Marquis of Kesley's pious face, he said, "You asked for donations from the Marquis of Kesley in the name of the goddess, but in fact, your unclean hands have already stolen many things from the Marquis's mansion dedicated to the goddess."
Her tone became more dangerous: "You shouldn't have kept your hand."
Indeed, even if he was an abandoned child, he was still a patriarch after all. She couldn't kill him casually, but it was still easy to find a reason to hurt him.
Few people in the church really have clean hands.
Although she really wanted to chop off the heads of all the church members in the mansion, she didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Suian. It was always Jiang Suian who caused trouble for her.
"Let the others choose and cut something off." [Vefiya] said lightly.
There was a smile in her eyes, but they were cold.
Then, there is one thing left, which is to find Jiang Suian’s room accurately. There is a traitor in the mansion.
Arnold, who had been silent all this time, glanced briefly at Vifiya. He knew that Kaharun and Osa were both listening to the noise inside the door.
They probably all realized it.
Osa and Kaharun exchanged glances across the door, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Without knowing the situation at all, [Vifiya] observed and asked questions as quickly as possible, and resolved the matter in the way that Vifiya was most likely to handle.
She is indeed a dangerous person.
No, it's like a monster.
