In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The dinner started as scheduled...

It was a luxurious yet low-key dinner.

To be honest, the two words "luxury" and "low-key" are usually difficult for people to associate with each other, but in reality, on this special day, this is indeed the case.

In Syracuse, old Saluzzo was a leader whose fame was no less than that of Salvadore. His departure not only meant that the Saluzzo family had lost a powerful leader, but more importantly, it symbolized the end of an era.

Saluzzo is gone, and Salvadore is almost there.

When he and several others passed away, there would be no one left among the participants of that family era who could represent that wild and brave era.

Some people are heartbroken about this, while others are happy about it.

But no matter what purpose everyone comes for, their actions are unified.

Wearing black suits, they quietly entered the scene, gently recounting the past of old Saluzzo to others...

Among the crowd coming and going, the little girl seemed so out of place.

Lavinia was nervous.

Today she was wearing a dress that cost her ten years of saving, and her face was delicately made up by a group of top makeup artists. Even the inconspicuous buttons on her body were made by famous artists.

But even this expensive outfit couldn't give her the courage to look others in the eye in such an occasion.

She could only hide in the corner, clutching her skirt with both hands, looking at a loss.

Where did everyone go?

She couldn't help but think.

And just when she was confused, the two wolves finally appeared slowly...

"Yo~ Are you okay?"

Lappland, wearing a black windbreaker with a white lining, came to Lavinia's side with a smile.

Next to her was Cellinina, who was also dressed in a well-fitting suit.

"Hey...you...you guys?!"

Seeing that both of her companions were wearing tight men's suits, Lavinia suddenly felt betrayed.

They had clearly arranged for themselves to wear dresses with complicated patterns, but they ended up wearing these?

This made the girl even more conflicted about the wake that was right in front of her.

She already wanted to escape.

But fortunately, Lappland was quick to pull her over and patted her shoulder with a smile.

"Don't worry, we have a reason to dress this way. If it weren't for the requirement, I would also want to wear a dress..." She said, even putting on a distressed expression, "It was Ms. Maria who asked us to dress this way."

"Ms. Maria...?"

Lavinia was a little confused.

She didn't understand why Maria made such a request, but seeing that the two girls didn't seem to be lying, she had no choice but to grit her teeth.

"So...I'm just going in like this?"

"of course."

Lappland raised an eyebrow, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Look at you, so cute, so beautiful. Once you enter, you will definitely be the most dazzling star on everyone's face! Why don't you go in?"

Lappland was very outgoing and had no reservations at all, expressing his praise directly to the girl.

But this made the girl even more shy.

But after a long time, she became confused.

"that……"

"Hmm?" Lappland turned her head and looked at Lavinia who was pulling her. "What's wrong?"

"Old Mr. Saluzzo... is your... grandfather, right?"

Lavinia was a little uncertain.

According to current understanding, the old Saluzzo who has passed away is Grandpa Lappland.

It stands to reason that the death of a close relative always brings sadness.

But Lappland doesn't look sad at all.

“Because I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Lappland shrugged, not thinking there was anything wrong with his situation.

"Grandpa...he had already made preparations."

"Eh?"

Lavinia was stunned, her expression a little dull.

Meanwhile, Qilapland on the side continued to explain.

"Although the Saluzzo family wasn't very famous before, it has been passed down for nearly ten generations. We have our own way of inheritance..."

Lappland swung his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Rather, it's beyond our expectations that Grandpa has lived to this age..."

"Ok?"

"Okay, don't ask that."

Lappland didn't explain too much, just smiled, then turned his head and looked elsewhere.

At this time, the banquet was already full of people, most of whom were representatives from other families.

But everyone understands that today's protagonists are not them...

"Not here yet?"

Lappland turned his head and looked around, his expression eager to try.

Meanwhile, Lavinia became curious again.

"Ms. Maria?"

"No." Lappland shook her head. "Grey Hall."

She was looking forward to the arrival of Grey Hall.

When the Saluzzo family announced the date for the wake, the first thing they did was to publicly invite the Grey Hall.

Or rather, an invitation was issued to Lady Sicily, the leader of the Grey Hall.

And Lady Sicily also clearly expressed her agreement.

So she was extremely looking forward to seeing how the family would react after the Gray Hall appeared.

"So... you also think that Lady Sicily killed your grandfather?"

Lavinia asked doubtfully.

Logically speaking, as the biggest suspect in the murder of old Saluzzo, Lappland should be hostile to Lady Sicily, right?

Why do you have such an expression now?

But Lappland shook his head decisively.

"I don't think so..."

"Eh?"

"Although everyone thinks it might have been done by Lady Sicily, I don't think she would do that." Lappland said slowly.

At the same time, he also pulled Lavinia and Cellinina into the venue.

At the banquet, bright lights fell on everyone.

Everyone present was wearing sober black suits. Although most people were happy about Saluzzo's departure, they did not express it clearly. Instead, they were very restrained and showed their awe for old Saluzzo.

In the middle of everyone, Salvadore was talking with several important members of the family.

After seeing Cellinina appear, he nodded in a gesture.

Then he ignored it.

"We are all smart people... At this critical juncture, with Grandpa's departure, everyone immediately suspects Gray Hall."

Lappland led his companion to the corner, looking carefree and relaxed.

"And the old man himself died of poisoning... Isn't the purpose of poisoning to eliminate the target silently?"

"But now, given the situation, everyone suspects the Gray Hall was responsible... If it really was the Gray Hall, then what was their purpose in deliberately poisoning him?"

Lappland turned around and pointed out the first suspicious point about his grandfather's death.

"This matter itself is disadvantageous to them."

"As for attacking the old man in such a disadvantageous situation... if there weren't sufficient benefits, I really don't think anyone would make such a choice."

"So, compared to what everyone says, that Gray Hall killed the old man, I actually prefer the view that there are still many things we don't understand."

"Of course...this has nothing to do with me."

Lappland said this with a pleased expression.

On the other side, Lavinia was stunned.

She stared blankly at Lappland in front of her, with an incredible look as if she was seeing him for the first time.

no the same……

totally different……

What Lappland showed at this time was a completely different feeling!

Lavinia was a little overwhelmed.

She originally thought that Lappland was a simple, impulsive but somewhat shrewd girl, but at this moment, Lappland showed a completely different style.

Sharp and calm.

Only at this moment did she truly feel like the heir of a large family.

He seems confused, but in fact he just doesn't want to explain...

Just as she was stunned, Cellinina looked at her watch.

"The time is coming..."

"Ok?"

Lappland moved closer.

Sure enough, the time was already 6:50 in the evening.

In ten minutes, the prayer ceremony will begin.

As the first step of the wake ceremony, although its existence is not that important, the invited people will basically try their best not to miss any link.

But at this point in time, there was no sign of any members of the Gray Hall appearing...

"This……"

Lappland frowned and began to doubt his own judgment.

"Could it be that... Gray Hall isn't planning on coming?"

"Not too possible!"

Celinina protested, shaking her head.

"Gray Hall is unlikely to do such a thing."

"What do you think?"

"...It's just a simple judgment." Celinina shook her head.

"Currently, the families and the Gray Hall are both vying for control of all of Syracuse... The relationship between them is already extremely tense."

"Any sign of weakness, any explanation, is likely to cause a strong reaction..."
