Chapter 80: Sword and Shield Emblem To Confirm One Thing
"Is it solved?" Leticia sat in the reception area of Vifiya's room, staring at Vifiya and Osa who opened the door and came in, and a man with gray hair and dark eyes who came in behind them.
They had seen this man in the training grounds, a terrifying man.
The first time I saw him sparring with Na Ang, he couldn't even take five of his moves. But when I saw him again a few days later, he was already able to spar with Na Ang for a long time, and his progress was rapid.
"Yes." Vifiya and Osa sat down across from them. "Dead."
Upon hearing this, the Haihefu siblings looked surprised. They calmly analyzed the situation and ultimately ruled out the possibility that Vifiya had done it herself. Leticia asked, "Suicide?"
Even though they had only been in the Marquis's Mansion for a short time, they did not think that Vaholian was someone who would easily commit suicide.
"right."
After receiving Vifiya's affirmation, Leticia narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "How did you do it?"
Vifiya cast her eyes gently on her. She didn't mind telling them, "Nothing. I just spoke to him."
"Everything you want to hide, I know. Everything."
Her eyes were emotionless, even calm, but everyone present could sense her anger for no apparent reason.
The Haihefu siblings couldn't help but think of what they had investigated in the past few days.
The water in the Marquis of Casely's Mansion was much deeper than they had imagined.
"Have you gone to see how he's doing?" Leticia asked unexpectedly.
Vifiya's eyes didn't change. She stared at Letixia steadily as she continued, "Sterlan is dead."
"I know." Vifiya picked up the hot tea. He was tortured by the Marquis like that and did not receive timely rescue. From the moment he was abandoned by the Marquis, his only ending was death, although his death came quickly and hastily.
However, the only time she went to check on Stellan was when she used the secret passage in the west house.
"How did you know?" Since Letixia was so sure, there was no need for her to refute. She was just curious about how Letixia knew that she had met Stellan, since she had clearly used an invisibility robe.
Balkas sat up straight and leaned forward. "The smell, a faint smell of blood." He lowered his eyes, recalling the smell. "It's not fresh blood, it must be at least a hundred years old."
Vifiya lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. So that's how it was. This time it was her negligence. The Haihefu family has been accompanied by death for many years, and their sense of smell for blood is more acute.
"We'll be leaving tomorrow, and our cooperation ends here." Leticia said to Vifiya, then looked at Osa. "Ms. Osa, we're very happy to work together this time, but you must not show your relationship with us in front of the emperor when you return."
Hearing this, Osa shook her head and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter."
"Hmm?" The Haihefu siblings were puzzled. It was out of admiration that Leticia said this.
Osa drew her jeweled dagger, the silver light gleaming on her face. "He has no right to interfere with me."
She not only has royal blood, but also elven blood. Compared with her brother, the elven blood in her is purer, and she can do whatever she wants more freely. Most of the time, she will do what she wants to do.
It is true that she does things for the emperor, but in fact, no matter what she wants to do, as long as she does not do anything that is detrimental to the royal family and the empire, the emperor will not stop her. This is the agreement between her and the emperor.
If one day she really did such a thing, it wouldn't matter even if the emperor knew about it, because she had a way to make him helpless.
Vifia put down the teacup. Before Stellan died, with their means, they would be able to wake him up and pry something out of his mouth. She was sure that they must have found out something, but they decided to leave tomorrow. In other words, they did not intend to investigate the matter thoroughly and the matter would end here.
She thought they wouldn't give up so easily?
Letitia shrugged and looked at Vifiya again, as if she saw her doubts. At the moment, she was in a very good mood and didn't mind saying a few more words to Vifiya: "Your play is very exciting, I like it very much. As for my aunt's death..."
The corners of her lips curled up: "Aunt would also want it to end like this, right?"
They guessed it right.
Seeing Vifiya's understanding expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, with an indelible interest in her eyes: "It's a pity that you were not born in Haihefu, otherwise I really want to be your opponent."
In just a few days, the entire Marquis's Mansion was transformed. No matter how much of the plan was within her expectations and how much was beyond her expectations, it would not change the final outcome of the plan.
More importantly, she cleared herself. Even if someone suspected her, suspected that she was responsible for her aunt's "death", the Marquis's death, Vaholian's death and Stellan's death, they should first consider not whether they had evidence, but courage, whether they had the courage to slap the faces of the Kesley family, the Heihef family and the royal family.
Even the Pope has not made any statement on this matter so far. No statement is tantamount to tacit approval.
What a shame, her last name is Casey. What a shame, her last name is Casey.
If she hadn't seen the scene in the basement that day, if she hadn't been so timid that day, would she have grown into who she is now?
If she had taken that step that day, would the fate of the girl in front of her have been a little different? No, it wouldn't. She knew very well that [Vefiya's] fate would not have changed at all.
Now, this is the best result, the result she wrote for herself.
They are already deeply trapped in the web of fate, and it is enough for them to carve out a path for themselves.
Weifeiya looked up at the heavy snow outside the window behind the two people opposite her. She suddenly said softly, "Do you want to see something?"
She shifted her gaze slightly and met the eyes of the Haihefu siblings. Even Osha couldn't help but look at her.
Vifiya took something out from her waist and pushed it to the center of the table.
Everyone in the room saw it clearly, the emblem of the sword and shield, the proof of the Heihef family.
However, the expressions of the Haihefu siblings changed.
Vifiya did not stop Leticia from picking up the badge.
The two people opposite carefully examined and stroked the surface of the badge. The more they looked, the more solemn their expressions became.
The Heihef siblings looked so serious and solemn that Osa and Arnold couldn't help but look at Vifia again.
She shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.
The Heihefu siblings finally looked at each other and put the badge back where it belonged. There was no smile in their eyes. "Where did you get it?"
In fact, they already had a guess about the origin of the badge, and they needed to confirm it.
Vifiya stared at the badge on the table and asked calmly, "Which member of the Haihefu family do you think I am related to?"
Letixia's fingertips moved slightly. They did not doubt that this badge was snatched by Vifiya from Yotina. It was useless if they could not even protect their own badge.
It is not uncommon among the nobility that every member of the Haihefu family has his or her own family emblem.
Even every nobleman with a little reputation has his own family emblem, and Kesley is no exception.
Most of the nobles' family crests have no special use. Except for the one who gets the title, they represent not only the individual, but also power and money.
But Haihefu is different. In addition to the Duke's own badge, there is another badge with special meaning, but this one may not be awarded even once in a hundred years.
They also didn't expect to see the real badge here.
If a badge is stolen, the surface of the badge will have traces of the original owner.
But this one is intact.
The owner of the badge, Yotina, gave it to Vifiya voluntarily.
"What do you want us to do?"
Finally getting the answer she wanted, Vifia's eyes curled up into a deep smile. She took the badge back and tucked it back into her waist: "No, not yet."
This badge can indeed help the Haihefu family.
Seeing this scene, the Haihefu brothers and sisters had nothing to understand. Vifiya was not sure what the badge was used for, but just now, she was sure.
When they let their guard down, they were easily tricked without any difficulty.
"Don't worry about these details." Vifiya comforted them gently, but a smile could not be suppressed in her eyes. "It will be useful anyway."
Letixia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She couldn't do anything. She couldn't do anything.
Balkas looked very calm as he held up the hot tea for Leticia, but in fact, veins on his hands were bulging.
Leticia took his hot tea, and the calm surface of the tea trembled slightly. No matter how Yotina obtained this badge, and why she gave such an important badge to Vifiya, there could only be one reason for giving his surname the badge of her own tribe.
Yotina acknowledged Vifiya and that she was qualified to become a member of the Haihefu family.
But it was obvious that Vifia didn't know, and now, the Haihefu siblings obviously didn't want to say it.
Laidixia took a sip of hot tea and when she opened her eyes again, she had calmed down. She said, "It's a secret."
Vifiya understood what she meant. She was asking how she knew that this badge could get the Heihefu family to help. She replied, "A little gossip."
Hearing this, Leticia smiled, and said in a rather speechless tone, "That's really a little trick."
Vifiya stared at her and slowly calmed down: "I will go to the Dukedom of Haihefu as an individual."
Under Osa's surprise, Leticia's scrutiny, and the gaze clearly belonging to Arnold behind her, Vifiya finally explained, "I need to confirm something."
What was it that required personal confirmation, even in her own name? Ladyxia didn't respond, but instead focused her gaze on Arnold behind her: "Hey, what's your name?"
Arnold paused before speaking: "Arnold."
Vifiya only saw Leticia smile maliciously: "Hey, Arnold, are you interested in joining the Knights of the Haihefu family?"
The open kidnapping did not cause any reaction from Vifiya.
"No." Arnold refused without thinking.
"We can offer double the reward that Miss Vifia offers." Balkas took over from Leticia.
"don't want."
Leticia looked at Vifiya and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't come to the Dukedom of Haihefu. It's better to give him to us."
Weifeiya stared at her with a faint smile: "I refuse."
Osa, who was standing next to her, took a sip of hot tea and said, "Next time Vifiya visits Haihefu, why don't you just take him with you?"
Finally, Leticia shrugged helplessly, and the brother and sister got up and left.
Before completely leaving the room, Leticia turned around and said to Vifiya, "I'll wait for you in the Dukedom of Haihefu."
