The Brahadley family has been completely targeted.

The reputation, prestige, status, and wealth accumulated for more than 100 years have all disappeared with this shocking case that shocked the imperial capital, and with the unsolved murder case in the locked room.

Speaking of which, the Brahadley family is really a little unspeakably aggrieved...... Over the years, through the operation of the Montenegrin Royal Prison, coupled with maintaining an absolutely neutral attitude, the old marquis's family has always been the object of deliberate friendship among other camps in the imperial capital aristocratic circle, not only the middle and lower-level nobles have to work hard, but even many ancient families with skeletons as backers have to give the Brahadley family some face. Coupled with the good reputation that the old marquis had accumulated among the commoners through various benevolent deeds, the Brahadley family has faintly become a benchmark for moral models, and has been thriving in the imperial capital of Montenegro. It has become an extremely rare stream of clear water in the stinky and dirty muddy water of the aristocratic circle.

However, just like not long ago, just because of the fall from grace of the core character Count Amanda, the entire family became the big fat in everyone's eyes, the current Brahadley family has encountered the same situation.

Ever since the case investigators sent by the Emperor were stationed in the Royal Prison of Montenegro to conduct a closed investigation, Violet Castle, the former nest of the Brahadley family, has been shrouded in a layer of gloom and misery......

First, hundreds of civilians of the Imperial City gathered in front of the gates of Violet Castle, frantically shouting that the "Marquis of Liar" should return their abducted relatives and compensate for their losses, and then those middle- and lower-ranking nobles who like to fish in troubled waters and have no patience to eat ugly looks visited Violet Castle for all kinds of strange reasons, some saying that they can help the Brahadley family to solve this crisis, but they need to "pay in advance" the corresponding compensation, and some hold a bunch of "IOUs" written by random handwriting came to ask for accounts, and some even recklessly and directly blackmailed them......

Where has Violet Castle suffered this kind of evil spirit before, like these tasteless garbage, if they appear and throw them directly into prison, teach them to be new people in minutes.

After the death of the old marquis, the original number two of the family, the eldest son of the old marquis, Brahadley Jr., became the pillar of the family, but his pillar was also crumbling and overwhelmed at this time.

"What the hell is going on? Why haven't the people who went to the Prime Minister's mansion come back yet? And what about the people who went to the prison to find out the news? Where have they all died? What is going on inside?"

The middle-aged man in his forties stood in the castle, roaring loudly in his father's office, and he had no time to bask in the pain of losing his old father, not even to make a show or express his grief.

Although according to the laws of the Empire, he had inherited his father's marquis title and the position of patriarch of the family, but he was not happy at all. The tragic situation of the Huwen family not long ago has already fully explained that in the imperial capital of Montenegro, what will happen to the nobles once they lose power, and they may not necessarily have the good luck of the Huwen family to come back to life, and there is no old lover who can make the emperor and tyrant forget.

As a dying struggle, the Marquis of Brahadley Jr. sent a plea for help to all the powerful people he had befriended, and then he was unsurprisingly given a cold reception, hitting walls everywhere, and some even vented his grievances against the Brahadley family about the losses they suffered from the executioner Huwen, and the cruel torture and murder of the family members, threatening to make them pay for it.

"Damn, damn it! No matter, I must go to the prison once!" The ugly little marquis got up and was about to rush out of the house, but was grabbed by his cronies and butlers: "My lord! Now that the emperor's envoy has put us under house arrest in the castle, and strictly ordered us not to go out until the case is clarified, especially to meddle in the investigation of the prison, if you openly disobey the envoy's order, you will give those guys an excuse to ask us directly without waiting for the results of the investigation!"

"Of course I know this! But what else can I do, wait here to die? You don't know how much secret the Black Mountain Prison hides, it is our family's 100-year painstaking efforts! If that thing is found by someone else...... Damn, I can't even imagine what's going to happen!"

"My lord, please calm down, after all, our family has bothered to operate that thing for nearly a hundred years, and all kinds of organs are foolproof, after the old marquis was killed, no one knows how to open that secret room except for you and me, so you can rest assured. As long as this investigation is over, and when the Emperor's anger subsides, even if we lose control of the prison, we can find an opportunity to retrieve that item while others are unprepared. At that time, even if we can't continue to gain a foothold in this country, we can go to other countries and join other forces, and I believe that as long as that thing is there, we will definitely have a chance!"

The counsel of the butler's faithful servant seemed to be very effective, and it was not long before the little marquis regained his composure. His eyes were straight, and his mouth was muttering to himself, when he said, "Yes, as long as that thing has not been discovered, Lao Tzu has a chance, and the method of opening that secret room is only known to two people, but two people know the secret...... Isn't there too many people who know......"

The butler was relieved at first, and his expression gradually relaxed, but when he heard the second half of his master's words, a sudden uneasiness swelled up in his heart, and he looked up in shock, and then he found a pair of cold and resolute eyes falling on him, and just as he was about to say something, a sharp sword had pierced into his heart.

"The secret is always the one that knows as few people as possible......"

Looking at the corpse on the ground, little Brahadley let out a long breath, as if through this brief killing, he finally vented all the irritability and insecurity in his heart, as if as long as the old butler died, he could rest easy.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the castle.

A terrible vibration that can make footsteps reach the soundproofed patriarch's office, and a terrible vibration that can make the entire castle tremble slightly, except for giants, there are only armies.

The little marquis's heart swelled up again, he rushed to the window in three steps and two steps, and when he saw the people outside, his face suddenly flashed with a touch of strangeness: "Survey Corps, why did they come here?"

Although the word "investigation" is also included in the name, this corps composed of low-level people has always been tasked with investigating various small-scale demon invasion incidents and cases involving suspected undead natural disasters, and is not responsible for frontal battlefield battles. The equipment is backward, the combat effectiveness is extremely low, and it is only marginalized in the army system, especially easy to be forgotten, and it has no sense of existence, and it has nothing to do with its own family, but why did it break into Violet Castle at this time.

When he saw the heroic blonde general on his horse at the forefront of the Survey Corps, little Brahadley suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart......
