Chapter 37 Undercurrent
"It's enough. I know that the previous behavior of Your Excellency Neuski was indeed a bit inappropriate, but it's an extraordinary period that there is no need to be petty. If you just want to tell me these things, then let's stop here." Standing up and interrupted the excitement of the middle and senior executives of the family. Alexia's expression was helpless and firm. Previously, due to Neuski's previous command, the private army of the Papadoros family suffered heavy casualties, and the family could not accept that Arixia, as a parent, continued to tolerate, but in the end, with the insistence of this girl who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she finally suppressed the dissatisfaction voice inside the family.
But obviously this is far from truly convincing everyone.
He stood up slowly, and several middle-aged men with a pale complexion stood up, their faces full of pain, and said, "Since you have expressed your opinion like this, we will not say much anymore. After all, you are now the parent of the Papadoros family, but as an elder in the family, we think your actions have really ruined the family. If this continues, I am afraid that Mrs. Agnes's business will be wasted after all, and she will be shamed if she knows underground!"
"Enough!" When the older generation of tribe members in front of him were still chattering and mentioning their mother after the request was rejected, the girl who usually looked weak and charming at this moment showed chills in her eyes, which made everyone present tremble subconsciously and closed her mouth.
Obviously, they said the wrong thing, and the atmosphere became a little nervous. After a long time, Alexia, whose expression was slightly relieved, said quietly: "I am tired today. I hope this matter ends here. If there is nothing else, please let me be quiet alone!"
Looking at the girl's slightly haggard expression, the Papadoros's retainers, looking at each other, knew that they had said something they shouldn't have said before. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to bow and leave.
A few middle-aged men stood up and bowed, leaving the room.
Seeing these troubled old guys finally left, Alexia had barely sat down just now, her soft body was exhausted at this moment. Although she had the ability to be inferior to a man under her mother's education since childhood, Alexia still felt the burden on her shoulders pressing her down.
And at this moment, a familiar and gentle voice suddenly sounded in Alexia's ears.
"Miss, it's so hard for you to work hard!" The middle-aged woman holding the lamp walked to the girl and said with distress. She was the nanny responsible for taking care of Alexia's daily life. According to her daily habit, she brought some wine to the girl with milk to calm her mind.
"I'm fine, Madam Zoe, I'm just a little tired." Alexia took the wine glass and looked at the woman walking in front of her. Her hard eyes softened at this moment. After her mother died, the only one in the family who could trust was this breast who grew up with her.
Seeing Alexia's forced appearance, Madam Zoe looked full of pity, "Oh, if the lady is still there-" Although Alexia has been trained as the heir of the family, it is really too forced that Mrs. Agnes was caught by accident and caused the girl to bear the heavy responsibility too early.
"Stop talking, I know, Madam Zoe. But because of this, I will grit my teeth and persevere no matter what I say! Leos Gross must pay the price for what he does this time!" buried in Madam Zoe's arms, the weak girl showed a firm expression. Even if she wanted to break with the nobles of Molia, she would definitely be irrelevant with Duke Leo.
And at this moment, a wave of sleepiness surged up like a tide. Perhaps the alcohol was coming, and the fatigue finally crushed Alexia and fell into the woman's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Madam Zoe, who looked at the girl's sleeping face and embraced Alexia, had her face faded from her previous loving expression, and slowly turned her head to the outside of the door and whispered: "Okay, I'm over here, I'll see you now."
...
...
...
"The rebels did not attack all day today. What exactly did Leosgros want to do?" On the other side, Neuski and the garrison leader of Leo, who were still worried and unable to sleep, frowned.
Since yesterday's almost crazy attack, the rebels at the foot of the mountain have not responded any more. However, this did not make them at all relieved, but instead made them unable to sleep or eat.
"At present, we can only take one step at a time. The sender has already sneaked out of the city to rush south to tell Lord Justinian what happened here, and the rebels there should not dare to pursue too far. We can do nothing except praying that Lord Justinian can create miracles." Neuski said helplessly with a solemn expression. Although they knew that it was ridiculous to put such things on luck, they had no choice now.
"But if this continues, the situation will sooner or later be lost. Your Excellency Neuski, you should know that even if the rebels cannot attack here for a while, there will be changes within. Now, no one of us knows how many people are truly loyal to Lord Justinian in this monastery." The governor of Leo said in an extremely heavy tone. Now the situation they are in is called the death ground. Not only are there great threats from the enemy outside, but there are definitely no few inside them. Even if Grand Duke Anastassius suppresses the situation here, if he takes it lightly, he will definitely cause chaos.
At this moment, a hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. The two of them closed their mouths at the same time and ended the conversation just now. A middle-aged woman walked in with a somewhat uneasy look on her face.
They recognized that it was Mrs. Zoe, the mother who took care of the Countess Alexia, who put down her previous alert. Due to the previous incident in Fort Wiscari, Alexia, who relied on reaching an agreement with Justinian, was able to preserve her family and title, so she became Justinian's only firm supporter among the Morian nobles. Even in the face of the rebels' counterattack at this moment, she still did not waver at all.
So Neuski and Rio were not too nervous about the arrival of this woman.
"Guian, Madame Zoe. Is there anything wrong with you here?" Neuski looked at the hurried look of the woman in front of him. Obviously something happened, so he asked seriously.
But the nanny was a little hesitant at this time. After thinking about it, she finally spoke: "The situation in the family is a little bit unfamiliar. Miss Alexia is now unable to control the situation. She needs your help."
