Chapter 33 33 Sudden Assassination

Chapter 33 -33- Sudden assassination

"Meow! Do you know how that homeless man died?"

"Drunk to death! He was actually drunk to death! He was a poor homeless man, but he was drunk to death in a tavern!"

"Damn it! What's the difference between this and directly telling Mr. Cat that he was silenced!"

"But do you know what's even more outrageous?"

"Meow! Mr. Cat took the hand crossbow to the underground black market, and unexpectedly found that there were private soldiers from the Duke's Palace secretly reselling the hand crossbow in the black market!"

"Before I could erase the special mark on the hand crossbow, Mr. Cat quietly compared it and found that it was exactly the same as the hijacker's hand crossbow!"

Ness, the black cat, was filled with indignation.

However, after hearing its words, Charlotte's expression was relatively calm.

"Huh? Aren't you surprised? Miss Charlotte, ah no, great master?"

Seeing Charlotte's thoughtful look, Nice's heart moved slightly.

"What should I be surprised about? The death of a tramp, or the hand crossbow coming from the Duke's Palace?"

Charlotte replied lightly and took a sip of milk.

Now she really believed that after becoming a vampire, her heart was somewhat affected. After hearing that someone had been silenced, her mood was not greatly disturbed.

Even though...she had already vaguely expected it.

"Meow! I know you seemed to have expected it before you asked me to investigate, but don't you think it's weird!"

"Do you think there are really such coincidences in this world?"

"Master Cat just started looking for someone, and when he found a clue, the person behind him died!"

"Master Mao just started investigating, and before he even started to contribute, the clues that the Duke's Palace resold hand crossbows hit his face! And he didn't have time to erase the Duke's Palace's special secret!"

"Meow! The person behind this, do you think Mr. Cat is a fool?!"

Niss became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and the shuddering cat's face began to tremble.

"So...what's your judgment?"

Charlotte finished the milk in the goblet and tapped the glass gently.

Ness understood immediately, and quickly filled her up again like a fool, and then said in a loud voice:

"conspiracy!"

"This is a conspiracy!"

"Someone is making up the illusion that the Duke's Palace is kidnapping you! They are framing the Duke's Palace and want to sow discord between you and the Duke's Palace!"

After saying that, Nice opened his amber eyes wide and looked at Charlotte expectantly, like a kitten asking for credit, but found that Charlotte was still calm.

Its heart skipped a beat:

"No way? You have guessed it a long time ago?"

Charlotte glanced at him and did not answer directly:

"How long did it take from the time I was kidnapped to the abandoned manor to the time the demon-hunting knights arrived?"

"About... half an hour?"

"How far is it from the abandoned manor to the nearest demon hunting station?"

"Well...according to our return time, if we hurry up, it will take about fifteen minutes."

After saying that, Nice paused.

It's eyes widened, and it suddenly became clear.

Charlotte took a sip of milk and continued:

"Fifteen minutes, back and forth for half an hour."

"However, this is the only way to speed up the journey..."

"How could it be possible that a homeless man reporting a message could go to the Demon Hunt Station to report the message in such a short period of time?"

"There was no hesitation, no hesitation, no time difference, and you still ran so fast?"

"And coincidentally, Captain Kara and the others also arrived at that station?"

After hearing Charlotte's words, Nice's face suddenly turned ugly:

"Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy! This is a planned performance!"

"No wonder the hijackers are unreliable freelance mercenaries. I'm afraid the people behind the scenes have no intention of successfully hijacking you!"

"maybe."

Charlotte shook her head slightly.

She touched the crossbow in her hand and said quietly:

"Everyone thinks that I am just a child without power, and no one knows that you are secretly following the carriage."

"Perhaps the hijackers are also well prepared. It would be great if the hijacking is successful, but it doesn't matter if the hijacking is unsuccessful."

"Perhaps they originally wanted to make a time difference, but they didn't expect that something went wrong in the middle. After realizing that they couldn't succeed, they naturally withdrew and did not continue to contact each other."

"Although the free mercenaries at the bottom are not reliable, they will not get their hands dirty. These guys are not as slippery as the experienced mercenaries. They will leave marks everywhere in their work to avoid being used as gunslingers!"

Nice glanced at the girl unexpectedly:

"You know a lot about free mercenaries."

"Fortunately, after meeting the Duke's son, I looked up relevant books in the mission hospital to make up for it."

Charlotte said nonchalantly.

"But if that's the case, it would be interesting. The hijackers reacted so quickly. It seems... there should be a spy in the rescue team who reported the news!"

Nice's eyes narrowed slightly.

Charlotte was noncommittal and chuckled:

"maybe."

One person and one cat looked at each other and said nothing. A figure appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Go investigate him."

Charlotte said coldly.

"It's going to be a bit troublesome this time. He is a noble after all."

Ness scratched his head.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Charlotte glanced at it lightly, and the light of low-level majestic skills flashed in her pupils.

"Uh... meow, no, no..."

The black cat, who wanted to take the opportunity to play a bit of pity to add points for his hard work, immediately stopped talking.

But soon, it became serious again:

"Miss Charlotte."

"Hmm?"

Charlotte glanced at it, quite imposing.

"Uh... no, master, master."

Nice immediately changed her words.

"Speak."

The girl nodded with satisfaction and took a sip of milk.

Nice took a deep breath and looked seriously at the old monster in front of him who seemed innocent but was extremely evil:

"Excuse me, are you really going to attend the Duke's Mansion banquet in a week?"

"I know that the great... well, the honorable you will get back what belongs to you sooner or later and regain the glory of the past."

"But, you have not recovered your strength after all. No matter what the truth is, the Duke's Mansion is inevitably involved behind this hijacking. I think... it's better to be careful!"

Hmm?

When did this guy care so much about the recovery of the power of me, the "evil god"?

Charlotte looked at the black cat in surprise, wondering if the other party had misunderstood something recently.

"It doesn't matter. Instead of waiting for the other party to make a move, it's better to take the initiative. After all, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to defend against an arrow from the dark."

Charlotte said.

"It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to defend against an arrow from the dark..."

Nice chewed on these two sentences, and always felt that the other party was worthy of the legendary one. He said something very well, and planned to write it down so that he could pretend it in other places in the future.

One person and one cat were chatting, and suddenly, the silver bell connected to the gate of the manor rang.

Charlotte stood up and looked out the window, and found that seven or eight carriages had come to the gate of the manor, with the family emblem of the Castel family painted on the side.

Looking at the carriage full of servants, she smiled slightly:

"It's Quasimodo who is back."

"Let's go, pack up and take a look, he seems to have brought a lot of new people."

...

"Master!"

In the hall of the manor, seeing Charlotte coming down from upstairs, Quasimodo, who was giving a lecture to the new servant, was brightened.

He trembled and bowed to the girl, and said respectfully:

"Master! Quasimodo has lived up to your expectations and successfully recruited twenty new people!"

At the same time, the new servants standing in a row behind Quasimodo, who had changed into the Castel family uniforms, also bowed to Charlotte in an uneven manner, and said in a buzzing voice:

"Master!"

Quasimodo's face was instantly embarrassed, and he lowered his head in shame:

"Sorry... Master, that... They may be a little different from what you imagined..."

"It's okay, not bad."

Charlotte was quite satisfied.

Although it's a bit messy, as a newcomer, it's okay, there's no need to demand so much.

"Are their origins innocent?"

The girl, who had already drunk enough, waved her hand and politely refused the new milk handed over by the dog-legged black cat, and asked.

"Innocent, all innocent, I checked them one by one carefully, and also checked and searched them, and they are all safe."

Quasimodo said respectfully.

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and added:

"However, they were all temporary servants of small merchants and small nobles before, and they have no experience working in big families. It is estimated that it will take some time for them to be competent for the job..."

"It doesn't matter, just take your time."

Charlotte smiled.

She took a step and walked past the newcomers, looking carefully at them one by one.

Some bowed their heads in fear, some looked flattering, some looked curious, and some saluted respectfully.

Charlotte's footsteps stopped instantly.

She looked at the newcomer who had just saluted her respectfully again, thinking about something.

Seemingly noticing the gaze of the new master, the newcomer who saluted hurriedly lowered his head, leaned forward slightly, and his posture became more standard and respectful.

Charlotte's smile was put away at once.

"Raise your head."

She ordered coldly.

The servant paused for a moment, slowly raised his head, his face was a little pale, and he seemed a little nervous.

Charlotte looked at him quietly, with a light flashing in her pupils.

The awe-inspiring technique was instantly applied, and the girl chuckled softly, her voice seemed to carry a pressure that penetrated the soul:

"Your etiquette is good."

"Tell me, where did you learn it?"

Quasimodo and the new servant changed color.

Facing the girl's deep and unfathomable gaze, beads of sweat began to ooze from the servant's forehead.

He began to tremble all over, and suddenly gritted his teeth, took out a dagger flashing with cold light from his arms, and roared at Charlotte's chest:

"The demon of Castel! Die!"
