Chapter 2 The Situation of the Family (Part 1)
. "Those four people were bribed by the housekeeper. I was killed without success in the sneak attack. Miss, let's go back to the capital as soon as possible. Once you enter the capital, it will be safe."
Maria was eager to return to King Arthur not only for Sheriel's safety, but also for the family's assets in the capital. The Kylo family has the best amount of capital, but also for the stewards. The assets in the Kylo family's territory have always been managed by the stewards. Once other people who follow the stewards rebelled with the stewards are news that the stewards are dead, they may escape with a large amount of Kylo family's assets at any time.
Maria was very worried, but she couldn't say these words now, because she was very suspicious of Wang Yun's true identity beside Sheriel. Maria was very suspicious at this time that Sheriel was actually coerced by Wang Yun. Sheriel was just a fourth-level magician, a ten-year-old little magician, and Wang Yun was only three steps away from Sheriel. Any third-level warrior within three steps could easily kill Sheriel.
"Who else betrayed me? I betrayed me by someone who was half a father. What about the other person who has been watching me since childhood? I don't know now, where is safe? Who else can trust be besides Wang Yun?"
Maria's anxious look made Sheriel suspicious, and Sheriel could no longer bear it, and finally expressed her suspicion! A sharp sword penetrated deeply into Maria's heart. The mental blow and physical wounds made Maria unable to support her and lean on the horse's back. She barely allowed herself to fall off the horse, and she could no longer get up after falling.
"Stay not to move, don't talk." Wang Yun looked at the stalemate of the two people and touched Sheriel's little head. The butler is not a slave of the nobles. A real butler should be Sheriel's senior, protector and educator.
Wang Yun walked to Maria step by step. Maria, who was lying on the horse, stared at Wang Yun with extremely resentful eyes. She attributed all the resentment of Sheriel towards her to Wang Yun.
"The eldest lady was not injured, but she just used up her magic. Where is the healing scroll on you? If you don't want to be a burden to the eldest lady, it's best to move quickly and use your actions to prove your loyalty."
Wang Yun stretched out his hand and watched Maria hand over the healing scroll on her body with difficulty, her eyes full of resentment. Maria thought that Wang Yun wanted the scroll to treat her injuries, and she would soon be abandoned and come down from the war horse. But looking at Sheriel not far away, Maria decided to use her sacrifice to prove her loyalty.
How to use the magic scroll Wang Yun of course knew that a white light appeared from Wang Yun's hand that tore the scroll open. Maria had closed her eyes, but the sudden warmth on her body made her suddenly open her eyes, and the magic on the healing scroll fell on her.
"We need another horse, the lady can't trust you, so do I." As soon as the healing scroll was over, Wang Yun distanced himself from Maria and said his request with caution. He could not determine whether Maria betrayed Sheriel with the butler.
Maybe Maria had rebelled with the butler before, but she regretted it. But maybe she did not rebelle with the butler at the beginning, but when the butler died and only the stranger Wang Yun was left by Sheriel, Maria was moved and wanted to annex everything from the Kylo family.
"The carriage is still there, can you drive the carriage?" He straightened his back again. Maria was full of suspicion and hostility towards Wang Yun. Wang Yun did not trust her, and she even distrusts Wang Yun, a stranger. She looked dirty, and Wang Yun was dressed in ragged clothes, was suspicious no matter what he did.
"That's easy. Before the sun sets, we must return to the capital and gather all the leaders of the various industries of the Kylo family."
The carriage is still there, which really saves Wang Yun a lot of trouble. There are still no strangers nearby, and they are obviously arranged. For the person behind the ex-steward, if the ex-steward succeeds, it is of course the best; if it fails, it is not a bad thing. After such a fuss, one of the two most important pillars of the Kylo family fell down, and the entire family may fall down at any time.
Wang Yun took clean water from the carriage and wiped the dirty parts of his body first. There were some spare clothes on the carriage, and the clothes of the former housekeeper were also placed on the carriage. Sherile used to treat everyone as a family, and of course the family's things were placed on the carriage.
After putting on new clothes, Wang Yun realized that his body was similar to his former butler. He dressed his clothes very well. Wang Yun also learned both riding and driving a horse. These two skills are also necessary in some areas. Wang Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, did not rush to leave, but repeatedly stared at the corpses on the ground.
Wang Yun remained motionless, Maria was watching nervously. Sheriel in the carriage suddenly walked out of the carriage, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Pack up them all, put them in the carriage and take them back."
Maria was very surprised at Sheriel's decision. There was enough white cloth to wrap the bodies in the carriage, and it was also possible to put down the corpses squeezed together. But Sheriel had no need to do so. At most, she was just a corpse with a loyal guard. The former butler and the corpse of the rebel guard should be left here to feed the wild dogs.
"The former butler and these people died to protect the eldest lady. No one betrayed the Kylo family. An assassin attacked the eldest lady. The housekeeper and others fought hard to fight to the death to save the eldest lady, but in the end they all died at the hands of the assassin. There were three assassinators, one of whom was a fire magician, and the other two were warriors, both masters, and they were injured and ran away."
"It must be remembered that no one betrays the Kylo family, and those who die are loyal ministers of the Kylo family." The temporary safety brought Shirley's heart to rest. After calming down, her mind began to be active, and she immediately pointed to the key to the entire incident.
Once the rebellion of the Kylo family housekeeper spread, people would be in panic within the Kylo family. More importantly, no one in the nobles in King Arthur capital would sympathize with the Kylo family. Instead, they would gather like a hungry wolf smelling blood, and they all wanted to bite a piece of meat from the Kylo family. But if they were assassinated, the situation would be different. Assassinating the direct heirs of the nobles is a taboo for the nobles, and even a devastating little nobleman would not do. If they were to open such a head, more assassinations would occur later.
"I understand." Maria nodded, finally got off the war horse and wrapped the burnt corpse in white cloth.
The burnt corpse was disgusting, but Maria didn't care about this at this time. What she cared about was how to eliminate Sheriel's suspicion of her. She really did not betray Sheriel, nor did she betray the Kylo family. An orphan who was about to starve to death on the street was adopted by Sheriel's father. Although her childhood training was hard, it also allowed her to get things that countless civilians would never get in their lifetime. She officially owned the surname of the Kylo family. Sheriel was the one she watched as a child. Sheriel's father handed over Sheriel to her before she died. How could she betray Sheriel?
But Shirley no longer believes her anymore. No matter what Maria says now, it is useless. The traitor becomes a loyalist because of a word from Sherley. All this is related to Wang Yun, the person who suddenly appeared. Maria knows that no matter what she says, Sherley will not believe it now. Even if she dies, she will become a "loyalist" wrapped in white cloth.
The corpses were wrapped in white cloth, and Wang Yun also specially collected the valuable things on his body. Maria saw Wang Yun's small actions, and she looked at him very contempt and even more suspicious of Wang Yun.
But Wang Yun also has his own plans. The Kylo family is an old noble with a history of hundreds of years, but so what? The Kylo family has declined, and the remaining industries in the entire family can only barely support Sherry's daily life in the royal capital. Sherry's information to Wang Yun clearly tells Wang Yun how poor the entire Kylo family is.
Since you are poor, you must be honest and not give up the wealth you can get because of your face. Besides, this money is also from the Kylo family, which is given to the traitors by the Kylo family.
Sheriel sat beside Wang Yun, with corpses in the carriage, just filling the entire carriage. Seeing Sheriel sitting next to Wang Yun, Maria felt even more aggrieved. Sheriel was supposed to ride the same horse with her, but Sheriel sat next to Wang Yun, a stranger. A noble lady sat with the coachman, driving the carriage, which was definitely not suitable for Sheriel's identity.
Wang Yun obviously felt the unkind eyes of Maria who was following the horse, full of grievances, jealousy and resentment. Besides, Wang Yun could not see any other meaning. It would be good that such eyes at least prove that Maria did not participate in the rebellion. When we came to everything strange, all the previous goals disappeared. The only thing that gave Wang Yun still motivation was the pitiful but extremely strong little girl beside him.
The carriage entered the capital of Arthur very smoothly, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not check at all, and directly sent Wang Yun and others into the city. Although the nobles have always had privileges, the carriages and teams marked with the family emblem of the noble can enter the capital from a specific road, but they are not as good as not checking the carriage.
When Wang Yun entered the city, the soldiers let go all the way and the carriage was not checked. As long as someone with a discerning eye took a few glances, they would definitely find suspicious things in the carriage. But Wang Yun was stunned and nothing happened. The three of them successfully returned to Sherry's home in King Arthur.
