Chapter 406 You Are Testing Me

Miss Rabbit's eyes were dazzled by the golden light in front of her, and she was about to reach for it subconsciously, but then she thought of something, paused, and struggled on her face.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the banquet hall and shouted, "Don't move!"

All the guests were stunned. Miss Rabbit raised her head and found that the person who came was actually her new personal maid—Charlene.

But the latter is not as gentle and obedient as before, and his whole expression is serious.

And behind her is Greta, the girl who can control mice.

"Bold!" A guard stepped forward to stop him.

As a result, he had just grabbed Ruby's arm when he heard the voice of the female lord, "It's okay, let her come here."

The guard was taken aback when he heard the words, and could only let go of his hands again. At the same time, the surrounding guests also stretched their necks, looking at the two uninvited guests in front of them.

Some careful people also noticed that Alfred had walked into the banquet hall not long ago and said something in Ilea's ear. Obviously, something might have happened to the Arias family.

Ruby spoke at the fastest speed, "Miss Ilea, please leave your seat."

Miss Rabbit was at a loss, "Then should I move or not?"

"Move, please leave."

One of the characteristics of Miss Rabbit is that once she believes in someone, she will keep believing until she is deceived.

So Wen Yan didn't say anything, just got up and left the seat.

Seeing this, Hernan became anxious, "Miss Ilea, I haven't finished my trick yet." As he spoke, he wanted to get up from the ground.

But after that, the uninvited guest said again, "Master Hernan, please keep this posture and don't move around."

It was only then that everyone realized that the two words that Ruby had shouted earlier were addressed to the future heirs of the city in the lake.

However, Hernan turned around and saw that the speaker was not a nobleman, but just a maid. It would be too embarrassing for him to do what the other party said, so he just pretended that he didn't hear it, and stood up from the ground as usual.

Then he wanted to chase after Ilea, but he was stopped by a knight of the Arias family after he took two steps.

Hernan looked embarrassed and a little angry, and couldn't help raising his voice a little, "Miss Ilea, you can just say it if you don't like me, are you doing this to embarrass me on purpose?"

"I told you from the first time you made love to me that I don't want to get married yet."

"What, aren't you pretending to be reserved when you say that, and you want to test me with this?" Hernan was shocked.

"Well, why do you have such a terrible idea?"

"Because you are about to turn 19 and you need to give birth to an heir to continue the bloodline of your family."

"No...I'm quite happy living alone now."

Hernan's eyes widened, "What a terrible idea, haven't the elders in your family warned you? If something happens to you..."

"Master Hernan." Miss Rabbit was almost at her limit.If it weren't for her birthday today, with so many nobles in the western region present, with her personality in normal times, she wouldn't spoil anyone at all.

But the female lord endured it for so long, and finally couldn't help it anymore. She put away the smirk on her face, and interrupted the other person directly, "Do you know how a person can live as long as possible?"

Hernan didn't know why the female lord suddenly asked such a question, but he still answered seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Keeping a healthy diet, eating more lamb and bread, and eating less vegetables that grow in the field... well, and starting a family, having children, and enjoying family happiness can obviously make a person live longer."

"No, just mind your own business." The female lord said lightly.

Hearing this, Hernan's face almost swelled into a liver color.

At this moment, another voice came from behind him, "Master Hernan, can I have a look at the rose in your hand?"

Hernan turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the maid who had ordered him to stay still, and couldn't help but get even more angry, waving her hands, "Sir Ilea, you think it's pretty good, it's fine if you don't accept my marriage proposal, You even want me to leave the token of love behind."

"I didn't want the golden rose, I just wanted to check it out," Ruby tried to explain.

But Hernan was emotionally agitated at the moment, holding the golden rose tightly in his hands, "You don't want to touch it!"

"Then can you at least tell us where this flower came from? It might be a Herodotus trap."

"Oh, is this the poor excuse you can come up with, Herodotus' trap? You just want to humiliate me, get out of the way, I'm leaving." Hernan pushed away the person in front of him while talking. little maid.

Greta helped Ruby who was about to fall in time, then narrowed her eyes, staring at the nobleman in front of her without saying a word.

Hernan felt an inexplicable chill, but he didn't apologize, and he didn't stop on his feet, and walked out of the hall.

The guards at the door glanced at Alfred, who shook his head slightly.

In any case, Hernan is a member of the Mariel family, and if nothing else happens, he will become the next head of the Mariel family, and he will also be a guest at the banquet.

If he was forced to keep him, it would be okay to find out that there was something wrong with the rose, but if he didn't find out...it would be a big trouble.

Just when everyone thought Hernan would leave without looking back, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Then his shoulders trembled unnaturally twice.

Alfred was the first to see Hernan's abnormality, but before he could speak, the future owner of the city in the lake fell to the ground.

Foaming at the mouth, limbs twitched continuously.

Ilea sent someone to find the herbalist in the castle at the first time, and also sent someone to her bedroom to fetch the magic medicine of Shuangxiu, but it was a pity that it was still a step too late.

By the time the herbalist arrived, Hernan had died of exhaustion.

The poor Mariel family heir obviously suffered a lot of pain before his death, his expression was distorted, and he didn't even leave a last word.

Ruby and Greta also rushed to Hernan's side at this time.

Ruby forcefully opened Hernan's fingers, and then did not immediately reach for the bouquet of golden roses in the latter's palm, but took out another handkerchief to put on her hand, and then picked up the bouquet of golden roses , put it in front of your eyes and watch carefully.

Following the blood trail, she quickly found the real culprit who killed the future Lord of the Lake City.

Under the golden rose petals, Ruby saw a small hidden emerald, about the size of a fingernail, which looked quite valuable, but the murderer was not the gem, but a small emerald on the rose stem. prick.
