Working Prophet.

Chapter 38
Vanessa didn't close her eyes all night. Early the next morning, just after dawn, she ordered a fire to cook and made the final preparations for the attack on Teacup Castle.

And the beautiful woman with lop-eared ears was helping her son who had just woken up to dress in the tent.

Since losing the election, Blanca's mental state is worrying. She has lost a lot of weight. She looks timid and afraid to look at others. Whenever there is any trouble, she will be frightened and cry loudly. It made Vanessa feel distressed.

The beautiful woman with lop-eared ears first took off her son's pajamas, put on breeches and a large long shirt, then put socks on Branca's two calves in turn, stuffed the breeches into the socks, and put the socks on at the same time. The belt on the trousers is fastened on the waistband of the trousers.

Then put on a long robe over it, fastened by a belt decorated with metal rabbits, and put on a burqa and cloak.

While pinning a gold brooch on her son, Vanessa comforted her, "Don't worry, Blanca, we will definitely be able to return to the castle today, and then you will be the master of the green fields, just like your father."

"But, but, my sister Ilea..." The little boy couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the name, "She has been appointed by the Marquis Cullen as the head of the Arias family. Are we going to defy the Marquis? order?"

"Of course you should listen to what the Marquis said. The Arias family has been loyal to the Figuerola family for generations, and your generation is no exception. However, a wise Marquis may be deceived by traitors. At this time, the courtiers should speak out Remonstrance, even take the initiative to take action, in time to set things right."

Blanca hesitated for a long time, but still mustered up the courage to say the words that were pent up in her heart, "Mom, I don't want to be a lord anymore."

"Why?" Vanessa stopped moving her hands when she heard the words, and her eyes turned cold, "Who taught you to say that? Your great-grandmother, Knight Javier, or..."

"No one," Blanca gritted her teeth, "I want to say it myself, Mom, can't you stop? As long as my sister is willing to let us live in the castle, our family can go back to the old life, Isn't it good, you don't have any feelings for your sister, you told me before that my sister has no mother and asked me not to make her angry all the time. "

"Silly boy, you're talking stupid again." The beautiful woman with lop ears put the boots on her son's feet, took two steps back, looked at him carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he raised his face again and said calmly, "Once this kind of thing starts, it is impossible to stop. You will become a good lord in the future, Blanca."

She wanted to say something more, but at this moment a deep and thick male voice came from outside the tent, "Madam, can we talk?"

"I'll be right out, Knight Javier."

After Vanessa finished speaking, she said to Blanca, "You stay here and don't think about it, we can go home in a while."

As soon as she stepped out of the tent, the beautiful woman with lop ears saw her military adviser pacing back and forth there, almost stepping on the grass in front of the door.

As soon as Vanessa appeared, he couldn't wait to greet her, "Ma'am, I heard that you..."

The beautiful woman with lop ears gestured to him, and the two of them walked another 20 meters away before standing still again.

"I heard that you had someone tie up the knight's wife, son, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law, and even brought their newborn child here." The slightly richer knight said while wiping the sweat from his head.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"I also heard that you plan to use them to threaten Alfred. If he is unwilling to open the city gate, you will order those people's heads to be cut off."

"I said that too."

"Are you serious?" Knight Javier looked serious.

"Of course." Vanessa said, "Don't question my determination just because I'm just a woman."

"I didn't question your determination, but I just felt that this move might be a bit inappropriate."

"What's wrong, that traitor Alfred can do it, but I can't do it? Don't forget that he started first, using his relatives as hostages, threatening those people in the castle to help him defend the city." The beautiful woman said coldly.

"Alfred's actions did discredit the knight," Javier pondered over his words, "but at least according to the current news in the city, he didn't really kill anyone, even Barbara who has never surrendered." Knight Bo Luo was only imprisoned by him, and he did not miss two meals a day."

"What do you want to say?" Vanessa looked directly at her military adviser.

The latter was sweating even more, but he still said, "I want to say that if you insist on doing this in your capacity...it's not very good-looking, especially because there are babies who are not yet full moon inside. Now the people below have A lot is being discussed."

"You think I like to do this? If you can fulfill your duties and help me take down the castle in front of me earlier, all of this will naturally not happen." The beautiful woman with lop ears interrupted the knight.

"Since your solution doesn't work, I can only solve it now. As for those gossips, when we take down Teacup Fort, I will teach them what respect is."

Knight Javier sighed. He knew that persuasion was useless. Vanessa was determined to capture the castle today, and she did not hesitate to bear the notoriety for it.

In fact, the relationship between him and Alfred is not very close, the two had little contact before, and just three days ago, Alfred shot him with an arrow.

But one yard counts, and now that Alfred's family is about to suffer, Javier, who is also a knight of the Arias family, can't help but feel a sense of sadness.

When he returned to the army, several other knights came over and asked him about the result of his trip.

Javier shook his head, and said to his colleagues, "Madam has made up her mind, everyone should think about how to persuade Alfred to open the city gate later."

"Alfred wouldn't be Alfred if he could open the door." A knight nicknamed Purple Jasmine said, "That old guy has a stubborn temper, and he only accepts death. He is Ilea's guardian knight, and he can only Listen to that little girl."

"Even if his family's life is threatened?"

"Even if you slaughtered his house until he was the only one left, he wouldn't open the door." Ziquehua said.

"My God!" another knight nicknamed Golden Snake said, "Are we just going to sit and watch the tragedy happen?"

"No way, who made Alfred go crazy first and captured the Teacup Castle belonging to the Arias family? Mrs. Vanessa denounced him as a traitor, even if he cut off all his relatives, there would be no problem." Someone disagreed.

"From Madam Vanessa's standpoint, that's true, but if you're willing to look at it from another angle... He just took control of the castle one step ahead of time under the orders of the real master of the green field."

"I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue. Ilea is not suitable to be in charge of this land. Russ also thought so, so he sent her to the temple." Another knight said .

"But now it seems that her stepmother is not much better." Purple Sparrow said, "I don't know what you think, but with all due respect, stupid and crazy, I would rather choose the former."

"Crazy and desperate." Jin Snake added, "She sees that she is losing this war, so she chooses to put all her eggs in one basket."
