Chapter 64 Are you going to kill me here? I don’t care
Vifiya's eyes lingered between the two of them without moving.
Vaholian was also unusually blunt: "Miss Letitia, are you really just here to see your mother?"
Leticia curled her lips and sneered: "Aren't we meeting?"
She was becoming increasingly impatient. This family was too hypocritical. They clearly had no feelings for each other, yet they always created a scene of loving fathers and filial sons, and mothers and daughters in love. If she had not once mistakenly entered a basement and witnessed the daughter of the Marquis of Caseley being severely beaten by the Marquis, she would have been kept in the dark.
It would be fruitless to directly raise her demands with them. She tilted her head and stared at him expressionlessly: "Don't make me slap you in front of my aunt."
Vaholian refused to give in. "Miss Letitia, please be mindful of your words and actions. This is the Marquis of Kesley's residence."
The movements of their hands intensified, and a slightly cold hand accidentally touched Leticia's hand holding the long cloth. Her attention was drawn to it, and Vaholian's gaze also fell down.
Weifeiya had a gentle smile on her face, but it was not obvious. "Cousin, if you have finished reading, please let mother stay quietly for a while, okay?"
Leticia looked at her deeply, her eyes moving from Jotina's face to Vifiya. Is she really stupid, or is she pretending to be stupid?
Leticia did not answer, but put down the long cloth and covered it again. There was no doubt that Yotina was poisoned.
She released her grip on Vaholian and asked before Vifiya turned around, "What's your name?"
There was surprise in Vifiya's eyes, as if she didn't expect that she didn't even know her name. She replied, "Vifiya."
Letitia forced a smile and said, "Okay, Vifiya, tell me about your aunt."
She looked at Vaholian subconsciously. Vaholian did not object, but walked to the cushion again to pray for Yotina.
Leticia didn't ignore the two people's actions. Her smile deepened: "Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Vifiya sat down beside her. She took in the coffins of Vaholian and Jotina, and answered Letisha's questions one by one very obediently.
Letitia lowered her eyes to look at Vifiya, who was a few years younger than her. "So, how did Stellan avoid being discovered poisoning you?"
Vifiya shook her head: "The matter is still under investigation."
"Just because of a small quarrel, he had the idea of killing his mother." Letitia looked at the goddess statue thoughtfully. She suddenly asked, "Do you believe it?"
Vifiya did not answer directly, but said: "What happened has already happened anyway."
Letixia stared at her and suddenly chuckled. She was so flawless. This daughter of her aunt was interesting. She looked like a wimp and had no say in the Marquis's Mansion, but in fact, every word she said and every suggestion she made would be adopted by those in power.
She is far more than she seems.
"Cousin, isn't this why you came here?" a soft voice sounded.
Letitia touched the dagger tied inside her skirt with her left hand and glanced at her from the corner of her eye: "Not at first. Didn't my aunt tell you that we were here to take her back to the Duke of Haihefu to live for a while?"
Was she testing us? Vifiya looked at the long white cloth covering the coffin. "Given Mother's personality, she would only tell us when you were almost here."
This makes sense, Vifiya concealed the thought in her eyes. Considering the distance taken by Seronil and the Duke of Heihefu, if they had set out earlier, they could indeed arrive by now. In other words, Yotina might have made two preparations. Also, how could someone who was always preparing to leave Serol have only one plan?
Ladisha didn't get the response she wanted, and lost interest, so she stopped asking questions. Fortunately, she had a general understanding of the situation, and now she had to wait for information from Balkas.
Someone must come forward to bear the price of Jotina's death. Leticia secretly sneered in her heart. It seemed that Marquis Kesley was willing to push his son out.
Thinking of this, the Marquis walked into the lamp room and started another round of greetings that bored Vifia.
The process of keeping the lights was destined to be boring. Of course, it would be another matter if the living really felt sad for the dead. Unfortunately, in the entire lighthouse, I'm afraid that only Leticia really wanted to find out the truth.
The wicks of the moonlit white wax candles burned out again and again, and Yotina's maids lit new candles again and again.
As the sun sets, the last candle wick burns out, and the lamplightering comes to an end.
Vifiya returned to her bedroom and had some time to herself.
Just now at the dinner table, Leticia didn't give the Marquis any face at all and refuted him again and again. The Marquis's sullen face but the fact that he didn't dare to do anything to her made Vifia feel a lot better.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the note Hefa had placed on the dressing table. The first line was: Put the magic storage gem on it.
She looked over and saw an extremely complicated magic circle. This time, Vifiya did not doubt him. After all, there was no need for him to deceive her in this matter.
She lightly took off the butterfly gem brooch on her chest. The magic power belonging to Hefa on the brooch and the thin threads emerging from the magic circle merged and intertwined with each other, and finally all the floating magic power returned to the brooch.
Vifia gently stroked the surface of the gem and quickly finished reading the rest of the parchment, and the paper disappeared into the air.
Through the candlelight, she looked at herself in the mirror. The Duke of Haihefu's Mansion was as powerful as ever. There was no other family in the empire that could ignore the royal family and the royal family dared not touch it at will.
Her eyes fell on the Heihefu badge given to her by Yotina. Yotina did not explain what this thing was used for. She had heard a piece of gossip in the past, but it was too gossipy that made her pay special attention to it.
Everyone in the Heihef family has his or her own sword and shield badge, but there are extremely rare family members who receive another badge. This badge not only proves their identity, but also allows them to get help from the Heihef family.
If the news is true, what kind of badge will Yotina have?
Why would she give this to her? Could it be that she suddenly felt guilty towards her daughter?
Vifiya looked at the wall clock in the room, and the hands pointed to the time she expected.
She quickly stood up, hid the sword and shield emblem, blew out the candle, and opened the door quietly.
The Marquis of Kesley's Mansion was exceptionally quiet in the middle of the night. Vifiya skillfully avoided the patrolling knights and moved around in the dim castle.
She stopped at the side room and looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no one around. She gently opened the door a crack. The room was already dark. She tried to slow down her breathing, squeezed into the crack, and slowly closed it with her back to the door.
But at the moment the door was completely closed, a silver light flew towards her throat. Vifiya instinctively leaned back and sideways. She reacted quickly and tried to grab the hand that attacked her.
It seemed as if he had not expected that the newcomer would not defend himself but attack directly after being discovered, and the wrist of that hand was grabbed in the blink of an eye.
The owner of the hand was taking a step back trying to break free, and the dagger reflected a pair of red eyes in the faint light of the night.
The eyes now smiled playfully: "Good evening, cousin."
Balkas's strength did not decrease, but his movements stopped. He stared at Vifiya in the night light, with surprise in his eyes.
His expression quickly returned to normal: "What are you doing here so late?"
Hearing this, Vifiya smiled innocently: "My cousin is the one. What are you doing in my room so late?" She turned her head and looked towards the center of the room. "Right, cousin?"
There was a look of vigilance in Leticia's eyes. In the only light source, her blue hair was particularly conspicuous. She exchanged glances with Balkas, who then released his strength and walked towards Leticia.
Seeing this, Vifiya followed.
Leticia put the candle on the table and saw that Vifiya was not shy. She sat down as if she wanted to have a long talk with them.
The Heihef siblings sat down in front of her.
Leticia stared at the girl in front of her, not hiding her scrutiny of her: "Explain your purpose."
"Cousin, there's no need to be so defensive." Vifiya looked directly at her, a smile playing at the corner of her lips. "I'm here to make a deal with you."
Hearing this, Leticia raised her eyebrows: "Deal? What kind of deal can you make with us?"
Weifeiya leaned against the backrest and said leisurely: "Cousin, isn't she here for my mother?"
"What do you want to say?" Balkas said in a cold tone.
Their purpose of coming here was simple, but it gave Vifiya a lot of convenience.
"I can help you meet Stellan and get the truth you want." She tilted her head and looked at Balkas with a mocking look in her eyes. "Didn't my cousin get rejected by my father? I know my father well."
Balkas's face darkened. In the morning, the Marquis always made excuses and always refuted his words. In the end, he still failed to get the specific location of Stellan.
Letixia stared at her. She was completely different from the one she was during the day. All her cuteness had disappeared, and she was now sharp and pointed. Was this really a human being?
"What do you want?" Leticia asked directly.
As soon as the voice fell, the pair of rubies shining with starlight showed a playful smile in the candlelight: "It's very simple, just let my cousin and cousin use Stellan to make a big fuss."
Leticia's eyes were deep, as if she wanted to see something from her, and then she said, "Your last name is also Kesley, and Stellan is your brother."
Vifiya seemed to have heard something unbelievable and couldn't help laughing. She said with confusion, "So what?" Her face was full of disdain. "I don't care about my mother, nor do I care about Stellan, and I don't care about the name Kesley..."
Before she could finish her words, Leticia's dagger was already at her throat: "Aunt is your biological mother."
Vifia didn't hide. Instead, she stretched her neck forward: "You don't want to kill me here, do you, cousin?"
