She Is Not a Witch Chapter 42: Jellink’s inquiry
The corridor of Yagetilin's house runs through the garden in the courtyard. The stone pillars along the corridor are carved with shells and mermaid patterns, which are clearly visible in the bright moonlight.
After leaving the party hall with the housekeeper, the surrounding environment became quieter, and only occasional noise and music from the banquet in the distance could be heard.
This young housekeeper walked in front, holding a black iron lantern in his hand. The orange light was shining on the road under his feet, and his face was in the shadow of the light, varying in brightness.
"Ms. Lacey is here for the first time at Yagertylin's house. Actually, Master Angus used to come here for a short stay, so you don't have to be too restrictive."
"Well, this is the first time I came, I should be familiar with it in the future."
The girl looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and occasionally scanned the gradually quiet and dark courtyard, and asked.
"Is the study of Jelink Daren far from here?"
"I just turned a corner ahead. Master likes to work in a quieter place. I'm sorry to invite you so late."
he explained naturally, but the pace did not stop.
Lorrain Hill looked at the back of the housekeeper, sighed, and then continued to follow.
咚咚——
The door of the dark red lacquered wood was knocked, and from the crack of the door you could see the light escaping from the room.
"Please come in."
Squeaky——
As the door opened, one could see a middle-aged man sitting at the desk. A small table and sofa were temporarily placed in the room. On the small table was a small night light, as well as snacks and fruits. There are also a few candle lights on the walls of the room to illuminate the light in the room.
"Miss Lacie, please sit down."
Jelink stood up from his seat, invited Lorrain Hill to sit on the sofa at the small table, and then sat on the opposite sofa by himself.
Then the butler Owen brought two more drinks on the small table, then stepped back and left the room, closing the door.
"Miss Lacey, it may be a little strange to call it this way. I prefer to call Lacey niece, because Angus and I have been good friends for many years, just like brothers."
"It's okay, you are a good friend of your father, it doesn't matter if you call me like that." Lorrain Hill, who is Lacie, held the drink in his hand and replied.
"I am very sad about your father's sudden death, and I have many questions."
"I know this is presumptuous, but as a friend of his life, I really want to know the process of the attack at that time."
"It doesn't matter if you ask."
"Where was Lacey's niece attacked?"
"It was on the road from the westerly wind to Verga..." Then Lorrain Hill restored the process of the attack based on what he saw at the time.
"So, before my father died, did he transfer all his property to you?"
"Yes."
"Are there anyone else present?"
"The butler Serres and the maid chief Chelsea are also present." The girl looked at the reddish fruit wine in her hand and replied unhurriedly.
"In this way, Chelsea are also here..." The middle-aged man's expression seemed a little sigh and sigh.
"Uncle Jelink, you seem to have a lot of puzzles."
Jelink picked up the fruit wine in front of him, took a sip, and said.
"Yeah, I don't understand, Chelsea also betrayed Angus." After speaking, the glass in his hand fell, slammed and shattered.
The door of the room was slammed open, and a dozen guards wearing robes and armor rushed in. They held long spears and crossbows to surround Lorrain Hill.
More than a dozen sharp spears were aimed at the girl in the blue skirt. The blades of the guns reflected the cold light under the candlelight, while the 6 crossbowmen stood behind Jerlink and raised their crossbows to aim at this dreamy face. The girl, the black matte crossbow has a faint magic appearing but not fascinating.
These spearmen are all Sequence War 2·Spike Guards, and those crossbowmen are also Sequence War 2·Black Crossbow guards. It seems that the Yagertylin family is not small, and a dozen can be gathered at once. The guard of Sequence 2.
Lorrain Hill did not panic, but raised his head and looked at the nominal uncle in front of him, as if asking, why?
"I advise you not to resist, this will save your life, and don't expect the rider outside the courtyard gate to rush in to save you. Someone will take care of it."
Jelink put his hands on the armrests and stared at the blond girl in blue skirt.
He saw Lorrain Hill being silent, and continued to speak.
"I and Angus have known each other for more than ten years. We went to the South China Sea Islands to take an adventure. Several times we escaped from the dead. He saved me many times, and we regarded each other as brothers."
"I can't tolerate that someone murdered him and usurped his many years of property in the name of his daughter." He said word by word.
"Why do you think I am not his daughter?"
"Indeed, Angus protects her daughter very well. She has been living in the West Wind. No one in Wilga has seen her look."
"Unfortunately, I was an exception. When I went to Xifeng to do business many years ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited to my home by him and met her daughter."
"Maybe you don't have such a beautiful face, but she is also a lovely girl. She is different from yours."
"And Angus called her, Elaine, not Lacey." There was a certain indignation in Jerlink's voice.
"Mr. Jerink, you and Angus are true friends."
"You should be very clear. Many guests have already seen me tonight. If I were imprisoned here, it would not take three days for this matter to spread throughout Verga."
"The Jagertylins have betrayed their friends for many years and murdered the orphan of the Callites family. This matter will soon spread to the towns, chambers of commerce and people in Wilga."
"Yes, so what. I will report this to the court of the Vilga Alliance and accuse you of the crime."
Lorrain Hill sips the fruit wine, his cheeks are slightly red, and he is not scared by Jellink.
"Mr. Jelink is right~ IndoMTL.com~ I am indeed not Angus's daughter." As the words fell, the surrounding guards began to hold their spears tightly,
The girl sighed in her heart, she was really not suitable for lying, she was exposed in just a few days.
"But it was not a deception that Angus transferred the Chamber of Commerce to me." Lorrain Hill put the empty wine glass on the table and made a slight noise.
"How is it possible?" Jelink was full of disbelief.
"How can it be impossible?" the girl asked rhetorically.
At this time, there was the sound of fighting outside the door, and the metal trembling of swords clashing from time to time.
"Jerlink, you idiot, hurry up and open the door!" Chelsea eagerly shouted outside the door.
Jelink stared at the girl, still unmoved.
"Jerlink, you slept with Millie and Corna in the bar back then, and you didn't have a penny on you. You still asked me to borrow money. I will explode you and Tess if you don't open the door."
The expression of the guard in the room became a little subtle, while Jerlink's face turned dark. It was all old things, she actually remembered it so clearly.
A guard next to asked for instructions with a wink. "My lord, how about we open the door and see what's going on."
Jelink waved his hand and gestured to open the door reluctantly.
The door was opened again. Chelsea, Serres, and several Carrites riders were fighting fiercely with the Yagertylin's guards. Fortunately, both sides restrained and there were no casualties.
"Finally opened the door, Jerlink, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so timid, you have to call so many people to deal with a girl."
Chelsea put away the rapier in his hand, pushed aside the spear, and stood beside Lorrain Hill.
"Sorry, Miss, I am late."
