Allen collected some of the scattered corpses into life essence, and then waited for the tree demon and black-robed warriors to clear the battlefield.
Taking advantage of this time, Allen returned to the cabin and asked someone to bring Kelly to him.
Kelly, who was originally clean and tidy, is now covered in dirt and there is blood on her face that has not been wiped off.
But her movements were still graceful and not as embarrassing as she imagined.
Of course, after being slapped in public, Kelly no longer felt arrogant when facing Ellen.
From this point of view, Kelly is still very sensible.
"Tell me, Lady Kelly, what are you doing here?"
After Allen looked at Kelly, he leaned back in his chair and asked: "To deal with a small camp, I wouldn't send a lord like you to come in person."
"Can I sit down and talk?"
Kelly glanced at the wooden bench next to her and explained: "The land outside is very uncomfortable for me to sit on, so I'm a little tired from standing all the time..."
This time Kelly spoke very politely, even with a hint of request.
"Yes, as long as you cooperate honestly." Allen agreed.
Kelly nodded and then sat on the wooden bench next to her, and Allen asked someone to bring her a leather cushion.
"Actually, there is really nothing else. I just want to find out why the messenger I sent didn't come back."
Kelly said calmly.
Then she told Allen the whole process from receiving Wright's order, to conveying the order to Doron in the watch camp, and then to the Gray Pigeon camp.
The process was complete and meticulous, and it didn't look like a lie. Allen somewhat believed it after hearing it.
But this also made him puzzled and asked: "Wright attaches so much importance to the Gray Pigeon Camp? Or does Odd have a special relationship with him?"
"None of them,"
Kelly looked at Allen and shook her head, and said solemnly: "He deliberately pushed me away to deal with me."
"Take you away?"
Allen hesitated for a moment and asked: "Aren't you allies with Wright? Why would he push you away... Were you forced to ally with Wright?"
Kelly nodded, "It's not an alliance. I have to choose a side in this fight between Wright and Cotton, and Cotton killed my father, so I can only choose Wright."
"Patricide?"
Kelly's words surprised Allen. This kind of crime is not a small crime.
No wonder the island owner would pass the position to his second son. It seems that a lot of the information Odd told him before was not completely accurate.
"Your second brother Cotton has such a crime, so he still has followers?"
"Because there is no evidence, these things came from Wright's mouth, so some people say this is an excuse for Wright to seize power."
Kelly explained: "But I know this is true because my father has always been in good health and will not die suddenly."
"So, your brother, Lord Wright, is really on the righteous side in his crusade against Cotton?"
Allen asked in surprise.
"It's true, but Wright is not kind either."
Kelly shook her head and said slowly: "Actually, Cotton killing his father is the most unacceptable thing to me. It was Wright who originally planned to kill his father."
Good guy, this is really a family full of filial sons!
Allen was really shocked now, but at the same time he became interested and looked at Kelly with burning eyes.
Without him asking any more questions, Kelly took the initiative to tell the whole story.
Kelly's father has always disliked Wright, ever since he was a child, and he can be said to be extremely strict.
No matter what she did, Wright would never get praise from her father, but if she did something wrong, she would be scolded.
Things were fine when Wright's mother was still alive, but things have gotten worse since Wright's mother passed away.
Kelly's father is completely different from Cotton. He has been very protective of Cotton since he was a child, and even doted on him.
Between the two brothers, Cotton was always favored. Whenever the two brothers fought, her father would not even listen to the reasons and would definitely punish Wright.
Wright once tried to change this situation, but Kelly's father always had a cold attitude.
Eventually, Wright got fed up with his father and decided to kill him and inherit Blackreef himself.
Wright sent a secretly trained assassin to assassinate her father, but before his men could take action, they found her father dead in the study, with half a glass of wine left on the table.
The killer brought back the half glass of wine, which turned out to be poisonous.
"Then why doesn't Wright tell all these facts... Oh, I understand."
No need for Kelly to explain, Allen figured it out quickly.
The killer under Wright's command ran into the island owner's study in the middle of the night. This was originally a controversial matter.
Who can prove that the poisoned wine was not poured by Wright's killer? After all, Wright had more motive for killing.
"But let's face it, your two brothers are quite ruthless."
Allen looked at Kelly and showed a meaningful smile.
Kelly's two brothers are like this, and it's hard for Allen to imagine her as a kind person.
Kelly seemed to see Allen's concerns and took the initiative to explain: "Please don't look at me like this. I am different from them. At least we are not the same mother."
"You mean, you are an illegitimate daughter?"
I have to say that the Harvey family has so much going on, and Allen is becoming more and more excited as he listens to it.
"So, but my identity was revealed at birth."
Kelly has long accepted this fact and said calmly: "My mother was my father's personal bodyguard, and when I was born, my father's wife had already passed away."
It's similar to the story of the lady and the knight, but the genders are swapped.
"Then your father later married your mother?" Allen asked.
"No,"
Kelly shook her head and said, "This is the condition for Wright and Cotton to recognize my identity."
"I see."
Allen understood that if Kelly's father insisted on marrying her mother, Kelly would be bullied even if she got rid of her status as an illegitimate daughter.
According to Wright and Cotton's ruthless style of doing things, it is difficult to say whether Kelly can successfully survive the infancy and early childhood years.
The two were chatting, when Crete knocked on the door and came in to interrupt the conversation, and reported to Allen that the bodies had been sorted out.
Allen asked Crete to step back first, then stood up.
"Okay, Miss Kelly, after talking so much, it's time for you to rest."
Compared with before, Allen's attitude was much kinder, and he said: "Since you are so cooperative, I will not treat you badly. I will have someone clean up a tent for you in a while, and then you can have a good rest."
Once you're well rested, write down all the information you have about Wright's army, as well as Cotton's, in as much detail as possible."
Kelly nodded and agreed: "I will, but I hope you can also treat my personal guards well, and those who died in the battle, please help me bury them properly."
"The living can do it, but I will try my best not to let the dead enter the belly of the beast."
Allen responded somewhat perfunctorily. Those corpses were both sources of troops and materials, and he certainly couldn't waste them.
He ignored Kelly and walked directly outside the house.
And just when Allen stepped out of the wooden house and was about to walk away, Kelly suddenly turned around and called to him,
