Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 347 Reliable Secretary

In the warm and bright living room of No. 59 Egram Street, three young ladies are sitting together, drinking tea, chatting about nothing to do, enjoying the rare relaxing time in the afternoon.

Sitting upright, Rebecca felt an inexplicable illusion. She suddenly realized that after just one night, she seemed to be completely accepted... It was obvious that just yesterday, Katrin showed rejection and even hostility towards her, but Today, it seems that they have become good sisters inexplicably!

This is so strange!

Sophia smiled and discussed the latest news:

"Claudia will be returning to Backlund soon."

Katrin was slightly taken aback, and it took a while to recall the name, and suddenly said:

"That 'apprentice'... Didn't Louise say that she is likely to be a member of the Abraham family?"

Sophia nodded and said:

"Yes, she left Backlund a few days ago to visit a sick relative. Yesterday I received a letter that she is about to return."

Katrin nodded slightly, didn't speak any more, raised her teacup and took a sip, then stretched herself, showing her slim figure, and slumped herself on the sofa without being ladylike.

Rebecca spoke suddenly, and asked tentatively:

"Is the Abraham family the great nobleman inherited from the Fourth Epoch?"

"You know quite a lot!" Catherine teased with a chuckle.

Although Rebecca didn't know where this kind atmosphere came from, she didn't reject it, and simply explained:

"My grandfather is a professor, and he would tell me some historical knowledge from time to time."

Sophia said gently, "Yes, it is the Abraham family you know, but according to the young lady, this great nobleman has fallen into desolation, and the reason seems to be devastated by a curse."

Rebecca nodded silently, with a flat expression, and she didn't know if she knew about it a long time ago, or it was the first time she heard about it.

Just when Katrin was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door. She was a little surprised, but she quickly said:

"Please come in."

It was a young maid from the family who pushed the door in. She said respectfully:

"Ms. Sophia, a man came to visit, calling himself Lockhard Siakam."

Rebecca was fine, but Sophia and Katrin looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes, obviously unfamiliar with this name, the latter sat up politely, and asked aloud:

"Does the person have any characteristics?"

The young maid recalled for a second and described:

"The man is not particularly old, he looks very stable, with long blond hair, but... a little serious baldness."

At the end of the description, the young maid's tone was a little hesitant, and Catherine even smiled a little, but when she saw Sophia's stern expression, she realized that things seemed to be not simple.

The maid quickly stood up, and ordered neatly:

"Invite the guests to the reception room first, and I will inform the lady."

…………

After the "Tarot Club", Louise stayed in the bedroom to rest.

The reason why she took the initiative to disclose Bernadette's matter to Klein was to continuously lower the latter's psychological defense. Today, she only leaked a little bit of secrets, so it must be understandable to add a little more tomorrow!

As long as Louise still wants to get the main ingredients of the potion and the subsequent potion formula from Bernadette, then Klein, or Klein's many vests, is the most important weight... Although he himself probably Never know.

The main ingredients of the two potions for the "Witch of Pain" have been found for the time being, and the direction of the auxiliary ceremony has also been found. The next main task is to complete the assassination of Duke Negan.

Considering Backlund's recent attitude that the rain is about to come, it seems that the arrow is on the string, and he has no choice but to send it.

Moreover, chaos is the best way for the "witch" to progress. Only by attracting everyone's attention can Louise make a fool out of the fire.

Just as she was constantly perfecting the plan, the arrival of the maid interrupted her thinking in her mind.

"Duke Negan's secretary is here." Sophia closed the door and said in a deep voice.

Louise immediately stood up, took two steps in the open space, frowned and said:

"Why is he here? Alone?"

Sophia nodded: "A man, the purpose of which is unknown, but the carriage he was riding in has the medal of Duke Negan's family on it."

The maid observed very carefully, and Louise smiled appreciatively at her, which proved that the blonde secretary did not act in private, but came to visit on behalf of Mr. Duke.

Louise quickly restrained her excess emotions, stopped, and said lightly:

"Let's go meet Mr. Secretary for a while."

…………

In the living room, Lockhard Siakam, Duke Negan's personal secretary, was sitting on a chair, not even touching the Earl Gray tea on the table next to him.

As soon as Louise walked in, she saw the blond secretary standing up straight and nodding towards her.

"Are you...Mr. Duke Negan's personal secretary?" Louise hesitated for two seconds, and put on a look of surprise that she had just recognized.

The blond secretary didn't take it seriously, and said without changing his expression:

"I am the Duke's secretary. Miss Louise has a good memory."

Louise smiled and said enthusiastically:

"It should be said that you impressed me very deeply, Mr. Lockhard."

"What's your business today?" Louise asked kindly after the two parties were seated, and the maid standing behind her slightly raised her eyes.

The blond secretary seemed a little hesitant, and couldn't help but glance at the maid who didn't leave.

Louise explained lightly: "Sophia is my personal maid."

The blond secretary took a deep look at her, didn't worry about it anymore, and said:

"I came today at the behest of Mr. Duke."

"Oh?" Louise was a little surprised, and asked curiously: "What instructions does Mr. Duke have? Are you going to invite me to the next ball again?"

To be honest, this question is not particularly appropriate. Even though there was a little accident at the dance last time, the opposite party was the most powerful Duke Negan in the Loen Kingdom, but Louise still said that her purpose was very simple. , there is no outsider here, she wants to test the blonde secretary to see what he knows or what he wants to do.

It's a pity that Louise's idea came to nothing. The quality of the blonde secretary in front of me is admirable.

He didn't show dissatisfaction or any other attitude that might cause speculation. If Louise didn't know it well, she would almost think that he was a "great loyal minister".

The blond secretary spoke and explained the purpose of this trip:

"Mr. Duke would like to invite you to visit his private villa."
