Chapter 761: Rich Family’s Trouble

"That's not true."

Count Kurt's brows were so furrowed that they could almost kill a fly: "Why do you ask such a question? What's wrong with you? Our family has long severed ties with the Chosen God of Slaughter. Don't think too much."

"I heard some strange rumors, just asking casually."

Seeing that Kurt didn't want to talk about this topic, Field was too lazy to ask more, and the questions he asked were also lies.

"Have fun at the banquet tonight."

"I will."

After leaving Kurt's private study, Field planned to go to the family library to have a look. Books are the foundation of aristocratic families. Even in this era, many books are bardic poems or knight novels.

"Master Field, your mother wants to see you."

A maid dressed in traditional clothes and looking honest performed a respectful etiquette to Field.

"Mother..."

Field sighed, as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling behind him, making him feel uncomfortable.

Even if it was the original owner, she could only be called "stepmother" or "stepmother". To be honest, for a modern person, the awkward relationship of a beautiful stepmother always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention, I have a very bad relationship with her.

I thought she would hide, but I didn't expect her to summon me.

"Okay, I'll see what tricks she wants to play." Taking a deep breath, Field nodded gently, "Lead the way."

Surprisingly, the maid actually took me to the stepmother's bedroom.

At this time, the stepmother was curling up her white legs, and her toes were swaying lazily with the little song she hummed.

She was sitting at the dressing table and dressing up exquisitely. The silk pajamas with black background and gold patterns on her body were casually draped over her body. They were hollow, and you could faintly see some of her radiant skin.

"Madam, Master Field is here."

Hearing the maid's report, Delier stopped pinning her headdress. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

I always feel that there may be 50 assassins hiding in the house, but the whole house is filled with only a charming and sweet fragrance, no other smell.

"She is not afraid of me, is she?"

After all, the other party's slightly trembling eyelashes do not look very calm.

Field crooked: Should I punish her severely?

"You are back, it is really beyond my expectation."

Dellier sat on the chair, turned around lazily, leaned on the chair with her right hand like a cat, and naturally covered the corner of the thin pajamas with her left hand to cover the place that made people think wildly.

"To be honest, I am very surprised that you can come back alive." Delier smiled coldly.

Well, it is obvious that she is not afraid of me, and even has a bit of honest malice.

Field shrugged: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I just miss my son. Come, let me see if you have grown taller." Delier waved her hand. If it weren't for her cold eyes, this charming action would be like a clingy kitten.

Nerve, do you think I believe you?

Field had a headache: "Don't forget the etiquette and ethics of the nobility."

It must be said that she was indeed the most beautiful non-chosen person he had ever seen. Field even suspected that this guy was a living person dressed as the Chosen One of Chaos, after all, there was her mark on the small map.

"Huh? Then staring at your mother is not in line with the spirit of chivalry."

Field looked away awkwardly.

Well...even the toes were decorated with shiny rings and painted with black toenails.

Pah~

The bracelet used to decorate the ankle fell on the floor, making a crisp sound.

Delier pouted and tapped the bracelet twice with her toes: "Pick it up for me, I want to wear it."

"Nimma..."

Field couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued to waste time like this, he was really afraid that he would go crazy, so he said simply: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Okay, okay~children are different when they grow up."

Delier complained like a spoiled child, but fortunately her voice was cold, so it didn't make people think too much.

"The Ross family has lost many vassals and branches recently, as well as people who were once loyal to the family. Even the death has spread to Rose Castle. I am a woman and I don't feel safe."

"I want to warn you: be careful of your brothers and sisters, and your father."

"Fuck."

Field was shocked and took two steps back.

Damn, is this something I can listen to?

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father?" Field's eyes were burning.

"There is no secret in Rose Castle that he doesn't know." Delier held her forehead, "It doesn't matter if he knows. My last name is Golden Griffin, and my name is Delier Golden Griffin."

"The Griffin family...isn't that the Queen's family?"

Field was almost dizzy. He didn't expect his cheap father to be so happy, and his concubine was of royal blood.

Suddenly remembered that the Queen defeated her sister to take the throne.

And the Ross family supported the Queen's sister. I think my stepmother is the Queen's sister, a pawn used to win over the Ross family.

But what's annoying is that the family's investment failed, and the Queen won in the end.

"A family, haha, you can say that."

Sure enough, Delier laughed coldly: "Oh, by the way, if you have enough strength, kill your sister as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will die in her hands sooner or later."

"You were attacked in the Silk Territory by the imperial guards she bribed. Agamemnon and you are actually both targets, otherwise two level fives against a small baron? Funny."

Dellier said something shocking, and Field paced back and forth twice.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"I said, I just want to protect myself. Your sister has most of the power of the Ross family. Not many people can resist her, except you who owns Chaoxia City. If she dies, you and I can share a large amount of family property, a win-win situation."

"Of course, I won't tell you another important reason. If you have an assassin-like Chosen One, go to Count Kurt at night and take a peek, and you will know."

"Okay, good boy, busy with your business."

Dellier waved her hand and began to fiddle with her exquisite makeup again, too lazy to pay attention to Field.

"It's really chaotic." Field felt a chill on his back.

The relationship and infighting of the nobles are complicated, and there are too many cases of brothers and sisters killing each other and fathers and sons killing each other. What each of them said was true and false. Who knows which one is a lie? Who knows which one is the good person?

Back to his room, Philomena and the others gathered around him, and Field felt warm.

After sharing today's events with everyone

"What do you think?" Field had no choice but to ask everyone's opinion.

"My head hurts! Humans are so scary!"

Ashina rolled over on the bed, covering her head.

"Ah Ba Ah Ba."

Hei Yu drooled at the corners of his mouth.

Fei Luominai didn't hear a word, but smiled contemptuously: "Is your vision limited to ridiculous family infighting? What to do, only kill!"

"Hiss~" Field felt his whole body clear, and he suddenly realized

"That makes sense, why should I bother about the family's shitty things. I'll slip away after getting the supplies, and the rest is none of my business."
