Chapter 869: The Summoning (I)
She didn't do anything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She just didn't do anything.
Even when Agnes confessed that she had killed Lowell Turner, the upright, forgiving, and respectable paladin, she admitted that she had contributed to the fire from the beginning, allowing the suspicion and malice that had already existed in Ante's heart to surge, and finally destroying the happiness and peace she once had...... Even if it's false happiness and tranquility.
"I hate him...... I hate him. β
Her beautiful and proud sister cried bitterly in front of her over and over again, tears flowed, her face distorted, and she was no longer as charming as before. And she just listened blankly, without even asking why.
What's the point? It's irretrievable.
She didn't want to hurt her, but she couldn't forgive her - if she couldn't, how could Scott and Ed forgive? The bodies of Lowell and Vala had been reduced to bones in the dark underground, the Temple of Collins was still shrouded in mist, and the Staff of Eternity was still nowhere to be seen...... They have lost more than she has.
She could only remain silent. Exhaustion, guilt, anger, and fear piled up into a suffocating black fog in her heart, and she was so deep in it that she couldn't see a way out.
She suspected that her father already knew, but she did not dare to askβwhat if he didn't?
Later, she suspected that even Guardian already knew. Her brother suddenly ran to her and told her, "Don't worry, I'll protect you...... I will protect you. β
She watched in amazement as he strode away, asking nothing.
At that moment, she really wished she could no longer have to worry about it...... I really hope there is someone she can rely on.
But in addition to Agnes, she also sent someone to keep an eye on Guardian. The young and reckless knight, once he has made up his mind, becomes stubborn and blind, and it is useless to say more. She only hoped she could stop him before he did something stupid.
But he was gone. Moira whispered blankly, "He and Agnes are gone, I searched for them all night, and nothing ......"
However, someone saw the fire. In the courtyard of the Temple of Nesses, which had been silent for a long time, a fire suddenly lit up and quickly extinguished.
Intense fear overwhelmed her...... Until now, it was still cold in her heart.
β...... You think I killed them. β
Scott spoke calmly. He wasn't angry, just a little sad.
Moira shook her head, tears still streaming down.
She did suspect it, but when Scott appeared in front of her, she knew he hadn't done itβhe wouldn't forgive, but if he did, he wouldn't hide it.
β...... You want me to help you find them. Scott let out a low sigh.
Moira didn't dare to nod.
"Something must have happened to them. She said, her begging voice so low that she couldn't hear it, "I know...... I can feel it...... Please......"
She had tried her best to stay away from this terrible man. He was too powerful to control, and like a flame that would incinerate everyone who came near him...... But when she asked for help, she knew clearly that he would not refuse.
"Even though Agnes is to blame, Gard is innocent...... Please......"
She clutched the corner of his coat and didn't let go of it the whole time. Her hypocritical strength had completely collapsed, and she didn't care how embarrassed and useless she looked now...... It's not like he's never seen it anyway. At this moment, she is not a high-ranking queen mother, just a panicked eldest sister, knowing that her younger siblings are likely to fall into danger beyond her strength, she can only do her best to seize this opportunity in front of her.
She probably hasn't changed at all...... She is still the innocent and cowardly little woman she used to be.
β...... Good. Scott said.

"Don't mess around!"
Agnes screamed and kicked her unadulterated brother away, "How many times have I said that?!, you idiot!"
Jiade endured and endured, but couldn't hold back: "Who the hell is the idiot?!Is it me who let us fall into the trap!"
Agnes slapped him on the head with a dark face.
Guardian gritted his teeth and shrank to the side in a reluctant voice. The unreasonable Agnes in front of him was a little unfamiliar...... But it soon became familiar.
Yes, wasn't that what she was like when she was a kid? It's just that the older she gets, the better she gets at hiding. And now, that beautiful and moving skin has been torn clean, and in front of him, she is even more lazy to hide it.
He stood aside coldly with his arms crossed, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but sneer: "'I'm not afraid of that fat fox. Who said that before?"
He never mentioned that it was his idea to come to Mansini, and Agnes did not expose it, but only gave him a disdainful look.
In any case, everything he did was to save her life...... She still knows this.
He couldn't think of any other way. After all, he couldn't kill Scott...... Not to mention whether he has the ability or not, Ed and Iss only saved him not long ago, and he can't take revenge.
"The only way to do that is to get him to owe you a favor - a favor so big that he has to let you go. β
He had already rolled his eyes countless times when he ran to tell Agnes like this.
"What do you think he lacks?βno, what do you think you can give him?" she asked him, even more bitterly than before, "your nephew's throne or your widowed sister?" β
He was tempted to slam the door or simply tell Scott what she had done so that he could avenge Lowell and Valla. That's the easiest option...... But he still couldn't.
"What about Aaron Mansini?" he asked her, holding back his anger, "since you have such a 'good relationship,' you should be able to find him, right?" I have heard that Ed's men are also looking for news of him. β
"What kind of favor is that?" Agnes scoffed, "Did that guy send himself to the door and no one wanted him?, and you think Scott wouldn't find him if he really wanted to?"
But for some reason, she changed her mind. It's just that it doesn't seem to be Mancini what she's looking for...... They watched Mancini leave before slipping in.
Then, they were locked up in this strange place. There was no exit, and a brazier was lit in such a hot weather, and all sorts of things were piled up around which Agnes would not allow him to touch at all.
He doesn't want to touch it at all!
His clothes were completely drenched, but Agnes was still staring at the brazier.
β...... All right. β
She suddenly spoke, and the resolute look on her face made him a little frightened: "You have to give it a try." β
