Chapter 38: Maiden and Promise

"Chelsea, put Ela down too...cough cough." There was another coughing up

blood.

Lorrain Hill slowly walked over from the side of the rock.

Angus was leaning against the rock wall, with blood on his body, holding his

daughter Elaine in his arms. Unfortunately, the girl who was blatant before,

had no heartbeat at this moment.

"Who!" A maid in a black dress, Bai Shan, looked at Lorrain Hill nervously,

still holding a rapier in her hand.

"Don't be nervous, I don't think this lady is here to kill me." Angus looked

up and saw that it was the girl who had met in'Fan Hua Xia Ye' before. He was

no longer nervous, but lowered his head again and watched. The daughter who

has fallen into eternal sleep in her arms.

There was dark red blood on Elaine's chest, and it was obvious that she had

been pierced into the heart by a sword and died.

It seems that it is really a vendetta, Lorrain Hill thought to himself, then

took out three [Blood Invigorating Potion] and threw it over.

"Drink this, it's good for the injury."

The housekeeper and the maid maid next to them were still a little confused,

but Angus didn't shy away, so he picked it up and poured it into his mouth.

After a while, his complexion became ruddy again, and the coughing up blood

was also reduced a lot.

"Thank you." His voice was still hoarse.

"Well, it's nothing. I just saw the tragedy on the road just now, so I

followed to see the situation." Lorrain Hill looked at the father who lost his

daughter and felt a little sympathetic, but he stopped staying and was about

to turn and leave.

"Can you wait? This kind lady." Angus coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"What's the matter?" The girl turned around a little puzzled.

"Are you going to Verga?"

"Yes it is."

"What are you going to do there?"

"Make some money."

"I want to do business with you."

"Ok!?"

Angus covered his coughing blood with a handkerchief, and tremblingly took out

a seal from his arms with his right hand.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." He said word by word.

Lorrain Hill looked at the blood-stained middle-aged man, his temples were a

little gray, some calluses on his hands, and deep blue eyes watching her with

unwillingness and regret.

The girl was silent for a while, and then said, "What is it busy?"

"The most sorry thing in my life is my wife. She passed away early, leaving

only one daughter, but even the only daughter I did not keep."

"I'm not a good husband. During these years when I was on the go, I had a

relationship with a woman after getting drunk. She gave me a child, and she is

only more than 10 years old now."

"I don't know if the enemy also knows the existence of the mother and son, but

I can't take this risk. So I want you to take care of them."

"Why me, don't you still have loyal subordinates by your side?"

"Yes, I have no doubt about the loyalty of Serres and Chelsea, but under the

nest, there will be no eggs. If my only heir and I are dead, then the Calites

Chamber of Commerce will soon It will fall apart and be eaten by others."

"If you lose the protection and power of the Chamber of Commerce, those secret

opponents will be even more unscrupulous, and at that time just a few loyal

subordinates could not resist."

"So you want?"

"I want to ask you to pretend to be my daughter, and then I will transfer the

ownership of the Chamber of Commerce to you. I only ask you to protect my only

child and his mother, so that they can live safely."

The butler and the maid beside him looked at this sudden scene, a little

surprised, but they couldn't speak.

"But I'm not the same as your daughter's. Others won't believe it. Besides,

I'm not familiar with Verga, so it's easy to show off."

Lorrain Hill carefully observed the physical condition of Lower Angus.

Although the blood-activating medicine temporarily supplemented the blood and

treated most of the wounds, the lungs had ruptured, and there were already a

lot of blood clogged, which he couldn’t support. Tonight, even Lorrain Hill's

shot is the same. Angus is not an extraordinary person himself, his physique

is too poor, and some good healing spells and potions are also difficult to

take effect.

“I’ve been raising my daughter in the Westwind Kingdom before. No one in Verga

has seen her. They just heard me say it orally. As long as you take my

autograph and stamped suicide note and token, add Chelsea and Ceres for you.

Prove that no one can question you."

"It doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar with Verga, Serres and Chelsea will

tell you about the situation there. Besides, my daughter doesn't know anything

about it at first, which doesn't make anyone suspicious."

Lorrain Hill was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

"...Although it's a bit rude, is this really not a suspicion?"

The girl slowly took off her hood, and the three people on the opposite side

were briefly shocked. Silver hair like silk slipped from the cap, white

enamel-like skin, warm lips, slightly curled nose, and the thrilling red

crystal-like eyes! This is a bit more beautiful than the goddess depicted in

those poems. The silver hair and crimson eyes formed a huge visual impact,

causing the three of them to hold their breath secretly, for fear of breaking

the crystal-like dreamy picture.

Seeing the shocked appearance of the three people on the opposite side, the

girl sighed slightly, then put on the hood again, which made the three people

on the opposite side ease down.

Since waking up from a deep sleep, her appearance has become more and more

attractive, perhaps because of a certain temperament change, or a bonus of

certain talents, so that she herself is a little bit distressed. It's a good

thing to look beautiful, but too good looks can bring a lot of unnecessary

trouble.

In fact, Angus was a little confused before, but now he is completely

relieved. No wonder this girl wants to hide her appearance.

"I took the liberty." Angus apologized for his impolite request.

"I will transfer all the shares of my chamber of commerce to you, so that you

can protect the mother and child until the child gets married."

"The Calitis Chamber of Commerce is also quite famous in

Wilga~www.mtlnovel.com~ I own 60% of its shares. This reward will not

disappoint you."

"...Well, I promise you."

If it weren't for the task, Lorrain Hill wouldn't want to take this trip to

the muddy waters. She didn't need extraordinary means to make money only as an

ordinary person. Although it was a little troublesome, it was not an

insolvable problem for her. As long as you accumulate a certain amount of

start-up capital, relying on the marketing methods in your memory, it is

really not difficult to reduce the dimensionality to the original business

environment. But since sleepy people gave pillows, she didn't want to

deliberately take shortcuts and avoid detours.

Hearing the voice of the girl's promise, Angus finally felt relieved, and then

asked Seres to take out a contract paper and start writing his suicide note.

The contract paper is a special paper with anti-counterfeiting effect. After

writing it, the special spell will automatically condense and cannot be

modified again.

After writing, Angus pressed his handprint, personal seal, and then dripped a

drop of blood on it, chanting a short spell, and finally the contract paper

glowed faintly, and the blood stains dried and solidified, forming a flower

Lacquer night flower pattern.

"If you take my housekeeper and maid maid back, and hold this suicide note,

you can prove without flaws that you are my heir and thus obtain all my

property."

Lorraine Hill took the suicide note, then picked up the pen, ready to sign the

name.

"Do I use my real name or your daughter's name to sign?"

"It's okay, as long as you write it, and the contract can be reflected."

"Okay." Then the girl wrote a name, neither Elaine nor Lorrain Hill. She

didn't want to be someone else, but she didn't want to affect her life after

the incident, so she wrote another imaginary name, Lacey.
