Miss Rabbit ultimately couldn’t resist the huge reward of thirty thousand gold lions, deciding to stay a few more days in the Royal Capital.
It was also a chance to properly tour the most magnificent and prosperous city on the Bratis Continent.
Previously, she had been busy with the tournant and had no ti to enjoy the city, but now Ireya felt like a middle school student who had just finished their exams, feeling utterly liberated.
Although Li Yu had told her that being the closest to Edward II before his death might bring so trouble, he had also said that such matters were inevitable, and even if she chose to leave the Royal Capital now, she would likely still be embroiled in it later.
After thinking it over for a night, Ireya ca to terms with it, realizing there was no use worrying about things beyond her control and decided to let nature take its course.
Besides, in Lion Heart Castle she was just a minor character, and even if she unluckily got caught in the storm, she definitely wouldn’t be the one closest to the eye of the storm.
When the ti ca, playing dumb would do, political conspiracies were sothing the Lady didn’t understand much, but playing dumb and cute was still sothing she was quite good at. Besides, if playing cute didn’t work, she still had rlin, didn’t she?
Thinking of rlin, Miss Rabbit felt much more at ease in her heart.
So, for the next two days, she planned to have a good ti in Lion Heart Castle.
After all, the great Saturday once said, "People need rest and entertainnt in life."
Ireya didn’t just rest herself, she also gave the guards under her command a break, and with a generous wave of her hand, she gave each of them a bonus of three gold coins.
As for Ge Lipeng, the Lady directly gifted him a whopping two bags, totaling three hundred gold lions, as thanks.
Besides, the girl reluctantly returned the five Holy Artifacts she had been carrying.
Li Yu had made it clear from the beginning that these artifacts were only lent to her temporarily, and now that the tournant was over, it was naturally ti to give them back.
However, Ge Lipeng only accepted four of them, pushing one back to the girl.
Upon seeing this, Ireya was first startled, then overjoyed, "Can... Can I keep this one?"
After saying this, she rembered that the servant Watt in front of her couldn’t understand what she was saying.
Sure enough, Ge Lipeng repeated the classic line, "I am a foreigner; I do not understand what you are saying."
But after a pause, he added in broken Universal Language, "This one, the Prophet lets you use it for protection."
Happiness ca so unexpectedly that Miss Rabbit could hardly believe her own ears.
—The Hand of Judgnt, only those who have used it know how powerful this artifact is. It made her, soone who had never practiced any martial arts, leap to beco the champion of the tournant.
When the girl held the flintlock gun in her hand, she felt confident she could match any master.
Once accustod to such power, to lose it would make her feel empty inside, lacking a sense of security even while walking on the street.
But Ireya was too shy to ask Li Yu directly for it because that seed too greedy. She hadn’t expected Li Yu to willingly leave one for her.
Ah ha, Prophet rlin really loves ~
Miss Rabbit happily tucked the flintlock gun away and then went up to a room on the second floor of the inn.
She pushed the door open and walked in, and after seeing the two people inside, the Lady was slightly surprised.
One of them, the girl nad Selena, was the assassin from the Life Church caught before. Over the past few days, she had been confined here.
Miss Rabbit had been busy with the tournant and hadn’t had ti to deal with her, and now she rembered and ca to have a look.
Seeing Selena in the room was not strange, but Ireya was surprised to see another person there as well.
"Thomas, why is it you again?"
The young knight, who had been sitting in the chair, stood up quickly upon seeing the lady enter and hastily placed the book he was holding down on the table.
"Lady Ireya, I—I’m guarding the prisoner," Thomas explained.
Ireya glanced at Selena, who was silently lowering her head, and then at her Guard Captain, who also seed sowhat tense.
"Were we short-staffed for the outing this ti? Why do I see you here every ti I co? You’re already working hard to protect , so why do you need to personally watch over the prisoner as well?"
"Because you... just recently gave everyone a holiday, and those guys all ran off to have fun."
"Ha." Miss Rabbit snorted lightly, touching her chin as if pondering sothing.
Seeing this, Thomas hastily added, "It’s okay, I’m just filling in for a bit. Once they’re back, I’ll go rest. I won’t break any regulations."
"There’s no need for that; I was just thinking of going out for a walk. You hand her over to , and I’ll watch her."
Caught off guard by her words, Thomas then said, "Oh, okay, I’ll get ready too."
"No, there’s no need for you to bother, just rest. Ferdinand, Orwell, and Lord Wild all want to take a stroll too. We’ve arranged to go together, and with my little uncle as the guide, with so many people, we’re sure to be safe, so there’s no need for you to co."
"And don’t forget, standing right in front of you is the Champion of this tournant," the Lady said while pretending to flex non-existent muscles.
"Uh..."
While Thomas was still hesitating, Ireya had already turned her gaze towards Selena.
"You’ve been locked up for about seven or eight days now, right? It just so happens I’m in a good mood today. I’ll take you out for a day to get so fresh air. Co on, let’s go before I change my mind."
Selena didn’t respond, but she quickly glanced at Thomas who was not far away.
He nodded at her, prompting Selena to nod back gently.
"Wait a minute." Miss Rabbit said suspiciously, "Is it my imagination, or since I entered this room, have you two been making eyes at each other? Is there sothing you’re hiding from ?"
Upon hearing this, Selena’s ears turned red instantly.
And Thomas’s face was also quite embarrassed, "Lady Ireya, I can explain."
"Oh, I’d like to hear this. Start explaining," the Lady said as she pulled out a chair for herself, sat down, crossed her legs, and poured herself a mug of ale.
"I’m sorry, Lady Ireya, I think I may have fallen in love with Miss Selena..." The Guard Captain spoke as if he had made up his mind, his words solemn.
Miss Rabbit sprayed her ale on the wall opposite her.
"Cough cough cough... what did you just say?"
"I’ve fallen in love with Selena."
"I also love Sir Thomas," Selena bravely whispered.
"It’s a honey trap!" the Lady exclaid, slapping her thigh angrily, "Thomas, you can’t possibly fail to see such an obvious honey trap."
"I..." Thomas stamred.
Without needing her Guard Captain to reply, seeing his state, Ireya knew he was probably beyond saving.
"You don’t believe ? I’ll bring Charlene here."
