Be a matchmaker in an otome game

Chapter 239

After dinner, the village chief came to the door.

Even after contacting for a few days, seeing a man suddenly appeared in sight, the atmosphere became uncontrollably cold, and many people instinctively made a defensive posture.

The village chief didn't mind, he didn't see it when he saw it, he stood at the door, looked around, and raised his voice a little: "Everyone, there is something I want to tell you."

"Yesterday's grain transport vehicle encountered robbers, which caused all the grain we sent out to be burned. Now we have to resend the grain to the military camp, and the grain transport vehicle was burned. We have to bear part of the unshirkable responsibility, so we store All the grain that comes for the winter must be handed over.”

Every time he said a word, Felisa frowned even more. If the village chief's statement was false, it was full of loopholes, and if it was true, it would be completely unreasonable.

Not to mention anything else, just one point, what does the burning of the grain truck have to do with this village?Why should the village take responsibility?
There was more than one person who had the same idea as her, and soon someone questioned her, but the village head showed a notice without haste, the content of the notice was exactly the same as what he just said, and the seal of the city lord's mansion was stamped on the lower right corner of the notice , proving that this announcement is official.

The maids are all from the city lord's mansion, and they are no strangers to the chapters of the city lord's mansion. Coupled with their own backgrounds, they quickly judged that this was true.

This was an outrageous and unreasonable request, and the maids were naturally unconvinced.

Although they don't like doing farm work, they often curse while doing it, but they will feel a sense of accomplishment when they see the things they don't want to do anymore, but the fruits of their hard work are burned.

This subtle emotion was magnified infinitely under the current situation, brewing into anger.

"This is completely unreasonable..."

One person opened his mouth to criticize this decree, and naturally others followed. They seemed to be nobles in the past and had the qualifications to give advice.

The village chief waited until they had vented their emotions and said slowly: "If you don't want to, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to make suggestions. I believe the gate of the City Lord's Mansion will be opened for you."

These words are probably considered murderous, knowing what that place means to these maids, but they want to provoke them.

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, the maids, who were still excited, stopped talking like a gourd with their mouths sawn off.

That hell-like place, no one wants to go back.

Such cowardice turned their anger into a joke. Courage and insight are useless if they only stay in words.

Someone said anxiously: "Then what should we do in the future?"

At first they thought they would finally find a peaceful place. Although the daily farm work made them exhausted, they just wanted to fall into a drowsy sleep after tiring work. It is a rough straw, and when I close my eyes, I fall into a sweet sleep instantly.

I still have nightmares, but the frequency is much less, and occasionally I can have a peaceful night's sleep.

So even if they are tired, they don't want to lose their current life, because they haven't found a better next home, even though they are not satisfied with their current situation.

The village head replied: "You can choose to leave or stay, we will not stop you, but after you stay, we will not provide you with food, you can choose to find your own way."

Find a way by themselves, what can they do, they are struggling to cook their own food now, let alone looking for food by themselves, they can't even tell what they can eat and what they can't.

Felisa's eyes flashed, she understood the meaning of the village chief, and reminded in a low voice: "Although you don't know the ingredients, you know magic."

Karona's brain reacted a little faster: "You mean cooperation?"

"That's right," the village chief nodded, "There are a lot of wild fruits on the nearby mountains, but the wild fruits that are easy to pick have almost been picked, only the ones that grow on the cliffs are left, and there will be prey on the mountains. Because there are very ferocious beasts, we generally don’t go deep into the mountains, and just circle around the mountains.”

If there is a magician, these problems will not be a problem. Magic can pick fruits that cannot be achieved by manpower, and magic can also have enough lethality when encountering beasts.

This seems to be a beneficial cooperation for both parties.

But now they don't dare to agree to anyone's request casually. They have paid a tragic enough price once, and they can't help but think if this is another scam, what should they do?
They couldn't help turning their eyes to Felisa, as if they regarded her as the only driftwood in the rapids, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Have you forgotten?" Felisa sighed, holding her forehead, "I'm with them."

Although she gained their trust and dependence, Felisa's identity was Vincent's subordinate from the very beginning, which they all knew.

This meant that she would never give advice anyway, and Felisa stood up and nodded to them: "Think carefully, good night."

Then she walked out of the warehouse and closed the door intimately.

It was destined to be a sleepless night, but unfortunately she would sleep well.

Felisa returned to her temporary residence and saw a thin old man squatting outside the house smoking a cigarette. When she came back, the old man stood up.

There is no reason not to go to the Three Treasures Hall. Felisa understands this truth very well. She asked vigilantly, "Do you have anything to do?"

The village chief didn't mind Felisa's defensive attitude, he just said slowly: "I thought you would persuade them to agree."

"I won't persuade you," Felisa said flatly, "If they listen to my advice and regret it, they will only blame me."

Before today, she would persuade her, as she said to Karona before, she wanted to be good for them, so she would consider them as much as possible, but the people she met today made her not think about it for a moment.

The idiots who can't recognize the truth until now will only blame others and think they are superior, but in fact they don't understand at all that their lives are completely in the hands of others.Although Felisa wasn't afraid of them, after all, they couldn't make any trouble at all and could only honestly follow the script that Vincent had customized for them, but why should she talk so much.

"You just need to understand." The village chief seemed to be here to confirm this. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said meaningfully: "Please don't cause too much trouble for that adult."

That lord... Felisa frowned slightly. The village chief was admonishing or warning her. "That lord" should refer to Azales, which means that she gave Azales a little bit of money. A lot of trouble?

Felisa laughed angrily. When did it become an outsider's turn to judge the matter between her and Asalez?
"If he thinks that I have caused him trouble, he will tell me himself, and you don't need to point fingers here. Or..." Felisa narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she is not a high-ranking knight, she is a Born as a nobleman, his aura no longer restrained and he directly pressed towards the village chief, "Still, what he wants to do depends on your opinion?"

This is to beat up the village chief for the good of Azalez with bad intentions, saying that he wants to control Azalz as a puppet.
