Chapter 342: The Sickly Illegitimate Daughter Who Everyone Dislikes vs. the Elegant and Crazy Housekeeper (37)
In order to prevent anyone from leaking the news that the temple was summoning magicians, the God of Light asked the Pope to order that believers were not allowed to discuss this matter, let alone approach the Saint's Palace.
Lu Cha successfully lived a life of poverty.
Eat and drink every day, and tease Cesar from time to time.
Not only did he raise his remaining favorability value of 5 to the passing line of 80, but he also reduced his blackening value to 40.
But no matter whether Lucha kissed or hugged him, Xizel's blackening value never dropped and remained at 40.
This day.
As usual, Xizel brought afternoon tea to Lu Cha.
The girl was lying on a rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely, turning a lace folding fan in her hand.
The little face that once looked sickly pale now had a hint of redness.
There was a hint of anticipation in Xizel's eyes.
After a period of careful care, Miss An's complexion will return to normal.
He placed the strawberry cake and black tea on the small square table beside Lu Cha:
"Miss An, I just received a letter from the South District."
"Two days ago, Duke Ferry and his men removed valuable items from the castle. Mr. Rhodes tried to stop them but failed, and he died of a sudden heart attack on the spot."
"Now, all that's left of the Rhodes family is the empty castle and nearly forty maids and servants who have signed indentures."
"Master Argus has been deprived of his inheritance rights. According to the laws of the empire, the castle and the maids and servants will be inherited by you."
"You can do with them what you like."
Lu Cha was a little surprised.
Is Rhodes so angry that he dies?
"The castle was sold and exchanged for gold coin cards."
"As for the maids and servants, they will be free."
She had promised the Pope that she would give all of Rhodes's property to him.
Xizel nodded, added tea to Lu Cha's cup, and casually said:
"Miss Ferry hasn't been here for a long time."
"Don't you miss her?"
Nalisa used to come to see Miss An almost every day.
But ever since the Pope came to the palace, Nalisa has not shown up again, and Miss An has not gone to look for him.
In fact, he thought about eavesdropping on the night the Pope came, but Miss An had set up a magic circle outside the temple, so he could not get close.
What exactly did they talk about that Miss An wanted to prevent him from hearing?
Is Nalisa's absence also related to the content of their conversation?
Xizel's thoughts were a little confused.
He was waiting for the God of Light to take action.
He was also waiting for Miss An to answer these questions for him.
Suddenly, a sweet scent spread between Xizel's lips.
Lu Cha fed him a bite of strawberry cake, changed the subject, and asked on a whim:
"Do you like sweets?"
Cesar nodded, confused.
While he doesn't need human food to stay alive, he enjoys sweets and will occasionally indulge in some.
Lucha was very curious.
The little villains in every world love sweets, so wouldn’t the real little villains be even more fond of sweets?
A mouth full of cavities?
[Host, please do not attempt to discredit the villain's image.] The system could not help but defend him:
[Even though he's a dog, he's perfect. He's the perfect person in the bureau... sizzle sizzle—!]
The system's sound instantly turned into a noisy electrical sound, obviously being blocked.
Lu Cha curled her lips.
The confidentiality work was done quite well.
Lu Cha's body suddenly flew into the air.
Xizel picked her up and said, "It's going to rain. You can't stay in the yard anymore."
Lu Cha looked up.
Clusters of dark clouds floated over the horizon, gradually blocking the bright sun.
The sudden dimming of light makes people feel depressed for no reason.
The storm is coming.
-
That night, Lu Cha was awakened by shouting coming from outside.
She rubbed her eyes, turned over, and looked at Xizel who had sat up.
After the two of them slept in the same bed that day, Lu Cha simply let him move in and use him as her pillow:
"What happened outside?"
"I'll go take a look."
After a while, Xizel came back, with a smile on his lips, with a hint of mockery:
"One of the believers was dead, his body was disemboweled, and his hands and legs were cut off."
"I heard that it was done by the Dark God."
"There's a commotion outside because other believers are searching for the Dark God."
Lu Cha raised her eyebrows slightly.
The little villain stayed with her the whole time, but he had no time to kill people.
Guessing that this must be the plan of the God of Light, Lu Cha looked at him sarcastically.
That’s it?
The kind and beautiful God of light?
Lu Cha complained to himself and lay back in bed.
And Xizel, as usual, lay on the bed, hugged Lu Cha from behind, let her lean on his chest, with a sinister undercurrent surging in his eyes.
The show is about to begin.
-
For three consecutive days, people died.
In addition, the weather was gloomy, and the temple was so depressing that it seemed shrouded in a dead air.
What is abnormal is that such a big thing happened, but no one came to report it to the saint.
Early morning of the fourth day.
There was a sudden and loud noise of something heavy falling to the ground.
It was the palace gate, which was knocked open and fell to the ground.
Lu Cha, who had just finished breakfast in the hall, stood up lazily and was suddenly enveloped by a touch of warmth and softness.
Xizel tied the cloak and said, "It's cold outside. Miss An, please be careful not to catch a cold."
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he was caught by Lu Cha.
The girl's dark, clear eyes stared at him quietly.
The smile on her face was bright and charming, like a bewitching demon:
"The God of Light has brought many magicians and surrounded this place."
"I can take you away."
