Abetus.

Looking at the solemn and luxurious villa courtyard in front of him, Rebecca took a deep breath and turned around and glanced at the direction of the carriage. After getting an encouragement look, she gritted her teeth and walked in.

"Miss Rebecca, you're back." A man with half-white hair and a decent housekeeper uniform looked at Rebecca with a look of surprise.

"Where is my father?"

"Vissue Snow is in the study." The housekeeper replied respectfully, and finally added in a low voice, "Master Rafik and Miss Mariana are also there."

"Thank you!" Rebecca lowered her head.

If it weren't for the urgent matter, she really didn't want to step into the house. Although the news was so incredible, she was willing to believe Ashley and Sigmun.

Even if he returns to this house that he resists, he will meet the person he doesn't want to see.

Although Rebecca is nominally a member of the Swan family, she actually inherited her mother's inheritance, for many reasons, she deliberately avoided and escaped from the family.

Follow the stairs to the study room on the third floor, and walked to the door. A faint sound of conversation came from the room.

"Maryanna, has the transaction of the Pray Town Mine completed? There is something I asked you to do before, a senior fellow at the Royal Academy of Engineering. I hope I can hire him to our new factory..."

"The transaction at the mine has been completed, but the Royal Academy of Engineering is still in contact." A young woman's voice came.

"Snap the time, the situation is very delicate, you don't understand, by the way, Rafik, did I get the reply from the letter I asked you to send Lieutenant General Babro last week?"

"If we want to expand the influence, we cannot do without the support of money. The southern waters have not been peaceful, but if Lieutenant General Babro helps, our goods should be safely transported to Konos." The calm and generous voice continued to ask.

"Lieutenant General Babro?" Rebecca widened his eyes when he heard the name, because the news sent by Sigmund showed that the lieutenant general had betrayed the kingdom.

But according to my father's opinion, the family seemed to have been in contact with Lieutenant General Babro. Could it be that they also participated in this betrayal?

No, no.

Rebecca quickly calmed down, and most of the Snow family's power was concentrated in the north of the kingdom. In recent years, development was limited under the impact of emerging classes and even regressed.

With their family influence, there is no need to participate in Lieutenant General Babro's betrayal. The risks are too high and the benefits are too small, so it should be just a normal contact, at most it involves some commercial help.

But……

Thinking of the incredible news, Rebecca hesitated for a moment. If the transmitter of the message was not Sigmun, she would never believe it.

"Who is outside?!" At this moment, a cold snorkeling came from the study, and then the door was opened. A woman wearing a sky blue lady's thin dress appeared in front of her.

Mariana, Rebecca’s half-sister.

"Rebecca? Why are you back?" Mariana blurted out.

"What are you doing when you stand outside?" Another voice came, and the one who spoke was Viscount Snow's eldest son, the heir to the future title, Mariana's brother, Rafik.

Rafik's hair was meticulously taken care of, and although he was young, he had a beard. At this moment, the eyes of Rebecca were clearly interrogative.

"Father."

Ignoring the accountability of the two, Rebecca greeted the man sitting behind the desk.

Viscount Snow looks about 50 years old, with half-white hair, but in good spirits, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and a pair of black-framed round glasses on his face.

"Since I'm back, I'll have a good rest. If I really have nothing to do, I can go and help your sister." Viscount nodded, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Rebecca coldly.

"Is there anything else?"

In the room, the three of them all looked at Rebecca.

"Father, something big happened in the southern waters of Elland. I hope you can notify the Duke of this, or..."

"What's the big deal?" Rebecca's brother suddenly asked.

Bite his lips and Rebecca took a deep breath, "Lieutenant General Juan Babro has betrayed the Kingdom, and he will lead the fleet to shell the southern coast tonight!"

Silence, the room is as quiet as death.

"Haha." Mariana, who was standing beside her, suddenly laughed out loud. She glanced at Rebecca up and down a few times, "My cute sister, where did you see such ridiculous news?"

"Are newspapers and novels so bold nowadays? Maliciously slandering a lieutenant general of the kingdom is a serious crime." After saying that, she walked to Rebecca and gently hugged her shoulders.

"Are you too tired recently? Go back and rest, and don't watch these messy things in the future." He said politely, but when he turned his back to Viscount Snow, Mariana looked at Rebecca with disgust.

"This is not a mess, this is a friend of mine, who is now in the southern waters..."

"Rebecca, pay attention to your words and deeds!" Rafik snorted coldly, "I don't know who is encouraging you to say such words at this time, but I want to tell you that Lieutenant General Babro is very important to us, the so-called friend who has made these absurd remarks to you, hope you can stay away from him in the future."

"Father, what I said is true. My friend hopes that I can help him pass the message, as long as I can see Charlotte and give him his name..."

"Charlotte?" Mariana's eyes widened, "Which Charlotte?"

"My sister, the Charlotte you mentioned by this friend is not the Princess of the Kingdom..."

"Okay!" Viscount Snow said.

"Go, Rebecca."

"Father, everything I said is..."

"Go out!" The expression on Viscount's face remained unchanged, but the volume suddenly increased.

"Come back to dinner tonight and talk to me about where you have been recently?"

Viscount's expression suddenly became soft, "Didn't you say you wanted to travel to Bagtia last time?"

Rebecca didn't say anything, and went to Bagtia, which was already two years ago.

"I understand." Shaking his head, Rebecca's mood suddenly relaxed at this moment, and a joke from Sigmon kept echoing in his mind.

The first female councillor, or Abetus's first female mayor, had a confident smile on her face, and glanced at the three in the room, Rebecca discovered the decay and arrogant hidden under their glamorous appearance for the first time.

Leaving the manor with brisk steps, Ashley jumped out of the carriage when she saw the smile on Rebecca's face, "How is it, it's successful?"

"As I thought, they didn't change at all." Rebecca smiled.

"So you failed?" Ashley obviously knew something about the inside story, "I'm so happy if I failed?"

"Isn't it worth being happy to see some arrogant guys about to fall into a big fall?"

"What should I do now?" Ashley asked.
