Chapter 30: Before the Great War 2
(Thank you for the monthly pass support of Sister Hei Yu!)
Because of the asymmetry of information, Vivien Leigh didn't know that the person Rebecca and Charlotte were really dealing with was Aven.
Worried about her family, she plans to find Aven, and after making her way through the crowd busy decorating the castle, she is confronted by Claire and Neam on the stairs.
Vivien Leigh didn't have much affection for Nessam, but if she did, she didn't have much of a bad feeling. After all, in Lucerne, Neham was just a victim.
But Claire has a lot of status in her heart, she greeted Claire, and the moment she passed by, Claire suddenly asked.
"Vivien Leigh, where are you going?"
"Go to Brother Aven, I have something to ask him. Because of the trust in Claire, and the fact that it is not something that has to be kept secret, Fei Wenli said casually.
But Claire was so perceptive that a few simple words allowed him to deduce the general idea of what was going on. He hurriedly stopped Fei Wenli and said in a loud voice, "I just came out of His Highness Aven, and he is busy now." Why don't you join us first, and I want to talk to you about yesterday as well. ”
Vivien Leigh glanced at Neham with a look of embarrassment.
Neham pushed his glasses and shrugged, "I'll go shopping by myself, feel free to do so." Claire, that's the end of the matter, count me in when the time comes. ”
"Thank you. ”
"No, who made me friends with that guy. Neam said, turning away from the stairs.
When Nerham was far away, Claire dragged Vivien Leigh down the stairs to the Rose Garden. "What are you looking for Aven?"
Vivien Leigh looked embarrassed, not knowing how to speak.
"Princess!" Claire said solemnly, "I don't think there's any need to bother Evan at this time. You see, Elbert, the disappearance, and the festival of praise are all in one place, and the castle is busy. If you consider me a friend, you can tell me about it. ”
Claire lied in a rare way. He had never gone to see Aven, and out of protection, he didn't intend to let Vivien Leigh get into this series of events. He usually lied without changing his face, but at the moment he felt guilty, but he felt that it was a white lie.
Adopting an emotional offensive against Vivien Leigh is the best way, although it is a bit despicable, but it has to be said that it is the most effective way to deal with people like Charlotte and Vivien Leigh who value feelings.
Sure enough, Vivien Leigh was overwhelmed by the change in his title. "Don't call me princess!" she explained, "Of course we're friends, Claire." I wanted to ask what happened to Brother Aven, I just came out of my mom, and she told me that Charlotte was in control of the Shadow Guard. Don't you think it's strange that the Shadow Guard is a secret department that is directly responsible to the Grand Duke, so how could my mother hand over the Shadow Guard to Charlotte? Claire, I'm worried that something more than we expected is happening in Savoieburg. ”
Claire's mind turned, and in just a few moments, he typed his manuscript, "You know that I just came out of His Highness Aven? The two of them must cooperate with each other to conceal information about Elbert's death. But now there is a shortage of manpower, so Her Royal Highness Rebecca handed over the shadow guard to Charlotte to investigate the disappearance. So I suggest you don't bother them during this critical time. ”
"But why did the shadow guard hand it over to Charlotte? Claire, don't you think it's strange? Even though mom and Brother Evan have a lot of affairs, there is still me!"
"Because you are not suitable to deal with the disappearance case right now, Elbert has just died, and they deliberately hide it from you because of your feelings. ”
Vivien Leigh stopped, looked at Claire and asked, "Did they tell you all this?"
Claire noticed the dissatisfaction in Vivien Leigh's blue pupils, and hurriedly explained, "No, I found out! They don't want to tell me! Vivien Leigh, what do you think of this? This is the secret of the two of us, we are secretly assisting Charlotte in investigating the disappearance, and we will not tell anyone about our private actions!"
Claire is lying again, he has found the best helper - Neam. He intends to deliberately mislead Vivien Leigh into her dispute with Aven, but it is also for the same purpose as Charlotte - to protect Vivien Leigh.
Seeing that Fei Wenli was still suspicious, he hurriedly scolded in a low voice, "Damn Charlotte even hid it from me!
"Good...... I promise you. Perhaps it was this resonance that resonated with Vivien Leigh, and she smiled.
Lunch was not much to mention, and for the sake of the feast, everything in the castle was kept simple.
After lunch, Vivien Leigh returned to her room, where she held the holy sword and closed her eyes in meditation for a while. After about an hour, she made up her mind and found Nancy and Kathryn.
At the beginning, he said straight to the point, "Teacher Nancy, Sister Kathryn." I need your help! You're going to be on my side, aren't you?"
"Did something happen?" Nancy and Kathryn looked at each other, the former asking with concern.
Vivien Leigh recounted what had happened in the morning, and expressed her guesses, "I feel like Claire is lying, he seems to want to act in concert with me, but I always feel that something is wrong with him. ”
Claire thinks that Vivien Leigh is still the simple-minded girl she was back then, but he thinks wrong. Everyone is growing, and after several years of leading troops independently in the North, Fei Wenli is already an excellent general. How could she not be aware of the current undercurrent of Fort Ezawa. It's just that she never thought that this was an internal dispute.
Kathleen crossed her hands and asked, "Do you think that guy will be bad for you?"
Vivien Leigh's eyes widened and she shook her head, "No! Sister Catherine would think that? I just thought something big must have happened in the castle, and everyone was hiding it from me, and I hated it. So I wanted to investigate these events myself, and I even had a foreboding feeling that if this matter was not handled properly, it might be devastating to the family. ”
Nancy sighed in her heart, she was about to persuade Vivien Leigh, so she heard Kathleen say, "No problem. Of course, the teacher and I are on your side, but since you have a sense of foreboding, then all the next actions will be with us, how about it?"
Nancy instantly understood Kathleen's intentions, and she wanted to mislead Vivien Leigh so that she could stay away from this dangerous encounter. She gave Kathleen an appreciative look, realizing that if she persuaded Vivien Leigh, there was a good chance that the stubborn princess would act on her own.
It's not that Nancy is not as smart as Catherine, it's that she sees Vivien Leigh too much as the reincarnation of Eleni, so she doesn't want to deceive Vivien Leigh in her bones.
But it was only then that she realized that although Fei Wenli and Aleni had similar looks and the same soul, she was not her teacher, the all-powerful root king, but a disciple who needed her own protection.
Nancy tries to change her position, not to hesitate to deceive Vivien Leigh and keep her out of danger.
"Thank you, teacher, I knew you were going to be on my side!"
After receiving their answers, Vivien Leigh finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she was no longer alone, that she finally had someone on her side without reservation.
But she didn't know that everyone wanted her to stay out of the whirlpool.
