Release that Witch - Chapter 499

[Chapter 492 Reality and Illusion]

Following Roland back to the office, Nightingale whispered, “I failed to protect you well…”

“No, you did a good job,” Roland shook his head, “Think about it, why did this assassin named Theo come to the meeting?” Do it in the hall? Because he knows that there is a witch protecting me, and this witch is extremely powerful. If she is not transferred, there is no chance at all. The more arrangements, the more loopholes, so in the end he can only use one The little dagger launched the attack.”

“But he almost succeeded.”

“It can’t be considered a success without killing me on the spot, and your existence limits this possibility.” He smiled, “What would he do without you? Do? Wait patiently for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack—as long as you lurk in the castle, such opportunities will always exist. So, you have protected me well. In fact, the safer the territory, the safer I am. ”

This is not consolation… Nightingale thought, His Highness really thinks so, which made her feel a warm current surge in her heart, and most of the restless self-blame dissipated, “I understand…but you Lightning and Maggie cannot be let go this time!”

“Uh, what’s wrong with them?”

“When I’m not around, the two should be by your side to guard against those potential enemies!” Nightingale said bluntly, “For example, in today’s situation, Lightning As long as they fly with you, the assassin will have no chance of hurting you.”

“She’s just more lively–”

“No! If Wendy and Scroll are here, they will definitely agree with me, if they don’t let them know I feel that I am wrong, what should I do next time something really happens?”

“Hmm…” the prince thought for a while while rubbing his chin, “I see, then punish them to stay in the house and not go out until the three sets of numbers are done. How about the comprehensive physical and chemical exercises?”

Nightingale couldn’t help taking a breath, and practiced comprehensively… The math part was okay, but elementary physics and chemistry were even more terrifying than the basic principles of nature. Just reading a page can make people fall asleep, especially those weird ones. Formulas and diagrams are no different from spells in legends.

If it were me, I’m afraid it would mean that I would never be able to get out.

However, thinking that it was his own opinion, it would be difficult to take it back at this moment, so he nodded ruthlessly, “In this way, they should realize their mistakes.”

…

The meeting in the afternoon continued, and Nightingale was guarding Roland Afterwards until dusk, the general framework of the second-level city hall and the candidates for the first generation were finally determined.

Pei Luo Hermon was appointed as the chief executive officer of Longsong District. In addition to being in charge of the city hall, he also served as the Minister of Finance. His father, Earl Hermon, served as the Minister of Construction. He could be regarded as the biggest winner among the fortress nobles.

Even Nightingale sighed secretly, His Highness really did not blame the honeysuckle family for the assassination – this was considered an extremely fair and benevolent performance among the lords.

The heads of other departments were appointed by some outstanding members of the minor nobles. They were originally barons or knights and were not qualified to participate in high-level government affairs. They were very excited about His Highness’s appointment and dismissal, and expressed their willingness to serve His Highness for life.

Even though it sounded like the truth at this time, Nightingale knew that once the situation changed and Timothy and the Church overwhelmed the Western Territory, they would probably forget their vows.

Before the meeting adjourned, His Royal Highness repeatedly emphasized two principles of employment – the department can use family personnel, but the ratio should not exceed 30%, and the files must be sent to the superior city hall for reporting.

Another point is that no matter whether the family staff is used or not, the salary will be paid by the city hall, and those who violate it will be punished as a crime.

Nightingale had no interest in these contents, and yawned again and again. She didn’t cheer up until she saw Maggie flying Earl Speer into Longsong Castle.

After the dinner, a group of people followed Earl Elk to Theo’s residence—it was an ordinary bungalow located in the castle area. The room was cleaned cleanly, not even a single piece of paper was left.

Obviously, the other party had already prepared and destroyed all the evidence before the action.

“Theo needs to stay in the castle area during the day, so just reproduce the content of the night,” the prince told Axia, “I need to check everything he did from contacting the former patrolman Mance to today, Just in this room, every piece is needed.”

Earl Speer summoned a magic channel to connect Maggie and Asha.

Asha, who temporarily gained enough magic power, began to trace back the detailed process of each night. Theo seemed to come alive again. He sometimes sat by the fireplace and meditated, and sometimes wrote something on paper, and all this was remembered by Soraya. in the eyes.

On the fourth day, he sat cross-legged by the fireplace as usual, but this time he had an extra emblem in his hand.

“Wait…I seem to have seen this thing before,” Roland’s voice seemed a little surprised, “Draw it and let me see.” The

emblem was quickly drawn on the paper with a magic pen, it was about the size of a thumb, and the body It is a round gemstone polished into the shape of a button, with the standard tower and spear logo engraved on both sides-this is a typical royal emblem.

“Is he from Timothy?” Nightingale couldn’t help asking.

Roland frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something, and shook his head slightly after a long time, “No, this is the token of Wimbledon III.”

“You mean…your father?” Ren asked in surprise.

“Isn’t the king already taken over by the eldest prince Gron—” Pei Luo was also surprised.

“When I was a child, I saw this emblem on the desk of Wimbledon III, and asked him what it was. He said that each gemstone represented a warrior who was loyal to the royal family. The more gemstones, the more Wimbledon The throne of the first line is getting more stable.” His Highness sighed, “It seems that Xio should be a dark pawn placed by the king next to the Duke of Lane, monitoring the movements of the entire western region for him.”

“Then why would he attack you? ?” Ren asked puzzled.

“Probably Timothy found the “Gem List”, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com conveyed the assassination order… For them, the emblem means everything, no matter what order it is, it will be carried out.

”

So that’s how it is…” Nightingale looked at the assassin made of magical illusions—he stared at the emblem for a long time, and finally threw the gemstone into the fireplace. This order also meant relief.

However, Roland, who figured out the reason, did not show a relaxed expression. Instead, he looked solemnly at the fireplace bursting out with clusters of sparks, and did not look away for a long time

….

Late at night, After Axia fell asleep, Nightingale sneaked into Roland’s room.

Ever since she was scolded by Wendy, she never did this again. But today’s assassination made her mood fluctuate, and without Wendy and Anna’s castle also made her less restrained.

Looking at the sleeping Roland Wimbledon, she escaped from the mist, walked quietly to the bedside, and leaned over to kiss his forehead.

I’m sorry, Your Highness, I can’t restrain myself. (To be continued.)
