【Chapter 165】You did a great job
Lea took a deep breath: "Alice, I don't deny everything I just saw. It's really amazing and wise. Like you, the greatest wish of Black Stone Collar to live a good life. For this, I can give everything, including life."
Leah really couldn't hear what Alice meant, but her character was tolerant and tenacious. During the years when Alice was indulging in sadness, she had carried too much. She could not express her sadness, cowardice, or despair because she was afraid of losing, losing the glory of the Sander family, losing the Black Stone Collar, and losing Alice.
Her sense of responsibility is extremely strong, but it is also her biggest weakness. The strong life pressure and psychological pressure that has nowhere to vent suppresses her emotions and makes her self humble.
In fact, she is just a girl who has just turned 20 years old. Her father is like a mountain, and the rubble after the collapse suddenly presses on her shoulders.
She forced herself to become a mountain, a mountain that sheltered Alice from the wind and rain.
But she was not stupid. Her father's death and the destruction of the Black Stone Knights were filled with the smell of conspiracy everywhere. There were also unexpected bandit suppression, which was rejected and suspicious in her heart.
The asymmetry of information made her mistakenly think that Blackstone had reached the end of her journey and had no capital to resist at all. In order to protect Alice, she could only choose to endure and give in.
In the final analysis, Leah did nothing wrong. For the sake of Black Stone Collar and Alice, she made the best efforts she could.
"Liya, I understand it." Alice gently pressed against her chest, stroking her haggard face and her long, rough and fiery red hair. She used to be full of energy and fighting spirit, but now she is mentally exhausted and her eyes are dull, and she has obviously experienced too many hardships.
"I know that you are working day and night for me. You have devoted all your energy and effort to revitalize the Black Stone Collar, and I have seen it." Alice's eyes flashed with tears: "But I will cry secretly every day, miss my father in my dreams, and I can't help you with any effort."
"Alice." Leah's tears were sour, and she sniffed gently: "It's not good for me, I ignored your feelings."
The family affection that is thicker than water is endlessly cut off by different beliefs. Alice listened to Leah's heartbeat and whispered: "Leah, do you know? All I have done is for you. My father stared at us in the sanctuary of the light, crying for us, and being happy for us."
"I feel very lucky to be favored by the gods. From the heart, those charming wisdom intoxicated me and philosophical words have inspired me. They have made me find the direction of life again. I want to bring light to you and to the Black Stone Corps."
Lea gently stroked her blonde hair: "I'm not questioning your achievements, but I'm proud of it. I'm just worried that you'll go astray and be hurt."
"No, Leah!" Alice shook her head firmly: "I believe in my judgment and my heart. I, Linda, Elena, and Luna, all believe in all this, our God is the greatest."
"The Majestic Krem..." Riya muttered the name of the strange god: "I can't judge. But... you are still children, those bloody killings..."
"This is my decision." Alice raised her head: "Our common decision. Leah, maybe you don't know, you are trapped in a trap, a carefully planned trap."
"Snare?" Lea frowned.
"Yes, I can be sure." Alice nodded heavily, with a little hatred in her eyes: "Lyn, he betrayed us."
"What?" Liya said in surprise: "Isn't he bedridden?"
"Hmph, this traitor who is full of lies has long been bribed by the Duke of Ceylon. He took advantage of your expedition to deliberately pretend to be sick to hinder our autumn harvest. Even after our autumn harvest ended, he colluded with the arsonist, intending to sneak into the castle through his son's water truck and burn our winter grain with a fire."
Leah's face turned extremely ugly: "Alice, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is! Lean is now under house arrest in his room, and his son is also in the dungeon. We searched for letters from Deep Water City and captured the arsonists. Uncle Carrick personally interrogated them and they gave everything."
Riya's breathing became rapid. What a vicious way to bribe the traitor and burn the winter food, it was equivalent to destroying everything in Black Stone Castle.
Wait...and the destruction of the Black Stone Knights.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in my mind seemed to be connected. If Alice said it was true, then the Duke of Ceylon had only one purpose - to destroy the Black Stone Corps.
But what about the purpose?
What is the purpose?
A black stone collar with nothing is of no benefit to the Duke of Ceylon.
For a moment, Liya was in a mess. The Black Stone Collar was everything for her, and Alice was her bottom line. She couldn't imagine what a miserable ending would be when the conspiracy succeeded.
"Alice, how did you know all this?"
Alice told me frankly: "From the foreshadowing of the gods, he told me that evil is awakening and someone is trying to destroy the Black Stone Collar."
It's a god again.
Liya was skeptical: "Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
"Of course, it's not enough for you to look bad." Alice shaved her face with pain and ran around without stopping, leaving her without time to take care of herself, her face was dull and her eyes were blue.
"There are so many things happening during this period. You need to have a good rest first, Leah. I promise, you will know everything you want to know."
Let Leah fully accept the existence of the gods, the time and understanding required. Alice has sufficient confidence, and under the influence of the environment and facts, Leah will change her view.
"Okay." Lea really needed a rest. She was now determined by her will: "By the way, Alice, the hunter in the carriage, have you seen it?"
"When I saw it, I arranged a residence for her. But... is what she said true? She saved you in the jungle, and then she assassinated the nobles of Deepwater City. In the end, would you take her out of Deepwater City?"
"It's true." Lea gave a positive answer: "But her life experience is very special. Alice, let her recover from the wounds first. When I get better, we will take you to see her."
"Then I'll be relieved." Alice breathed a sigh of relief and took off her dusty cloak: "Lia, wash up, you need a good night's sleep now."
"I'm sorry, Alice." Leah looked sad: "I couldn't bring the Black Stone Knights home."
"I heard from the hunter about this." Although Alice was a little sad, most of the knights had relatives in the farm, but now there was no trace of the bodies: "I asked Uncle Kareshu to arrange that they would give their family pensions and sufficient winter food and cotton."
"It's okay, Leah. Everything will be fine, I promise." Alice gently tidied up her hair with a scattered forehead.
Before she knew it, Alice's face was less childish and a little mature temperament was added. The strong confidence made Lia's eyes a little dazed.
Alice has really grown a lot.
Under Alice's gentle care, Lia washed away the dust on her body and lay on the soft bed that she hadn't seen for a long time. Looking at the sister who carefully covered the door for her, her eyes were sore and tears rolled, and she whispered: "Alice, you did a good job, really good."
"Alice..."
"Shh..."
As soon as he left the door, Luna and Elena came out of the corridor excitedly. Luna stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice: "Sir Liya, is she okay?"
"It's okay." Alice smiled: "She needs time."
