After the Duke of Wizdem left Dryden, the whole of Dryden fell into a strange calm, although the Duke of Wizdem's departure did not have an effect on this, because this strange calm arose from the incomprehensible reaction of some nobles to the death of Duncan Morrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fitney was still traveling as usual, and she didn't seem to care about the calm.

That night, she returned to her lodgings, and Elliott returned when she had changed her clothes and sat on the sofa in the living room, writing a manuscript with a quill pen that had been in progress for a while.

It's late.

"The Holy See hasn't done anything lately - it doesn't feel right. Elliott pushed open the door to the living room, scented of rain.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?" Fitney looked up at him.

"No, the rain was too sudden. Elliott replied, rubbing his wet hair with his hand, and walked up to Fitney, where a stack of unstained paper was placed in front of her eyes, "Something strange......

"You go take a shower first, I'll talk about it after I'm done. Fettnay interrupted him.

Elliot left first. Fitnet opened the paper, her slender fingers lightly swiping the words on the paper, her expression not changing from this, but she was so focused that she didn't pay attention to the growing sound of rain in her ears.

The rain of this season is sudden and more intense than the rain of the trek month.

Outside the window, the rain fell to the ground, and the ground was smashed into a thick white mist, and the things soaked in the white mist gradually became cold, and people avoided this senseless contact, only the buildings suffered such damage, and their surfaces were covered with a strange layer of frost.

In the middle of the night, people living in Dryden may get up and close their windows, but many more curl up under the covers and sleep soundly.

Such weather is the best for sleeping.

"Huh? I thought you were resting. When Elliott had finished her shower and walked down the hall, she was surprised to see Fitney sitting in front of her chair - she had finished reading the papers, the quill in her hand remained in her hand, she looked out the window at the rain and did not know what she was thinking - apparently she had stopped Dick from closing the window.

"No, the Holy See has recently been renovating the Silenc Church...... Because of Lucy's Awakening Ritual?" Fitney quickly came to her senses, and she said to Elliott.

"Well, I've traveled all over the Holy See's workplace in the past few days, and I've tracked down some people in the Holy See, all of whom are preparing for the awakening ceremony for Her Royal Highness the Princess, but no one mentions Duncan's death again. It's weird. Elliott thought for a moment and sat down across from Fitney, wiping his wet hair with a towel, "Duncan died inexplicably, and the murderer has not been found until now. ”

"Of course. Fitney said.

"Why?" Elliot still didn't understand what the nobles were thinking.

"As long as there is some contradiction, there is no reason for the nobles to want to kill the other party. Fitney said it very casually.

Just then, they heard the sound of a heavy object falling outside the window—Elliott's expression changed, but he was relieved to see that Phytenay had not had any effect on it.

Soon, a vine came in through the window, wrapping a dagger around the vine.

"Sent by the nobles again. Elliot sighed, "How many times this month?"

"Until my identity was unknown, these things were normal. Perhaps they felt that my appearance was too sudden—and that it was a threat to some nobles who had daughters at home. Fitney reached out and stroked the vine.

The dagger landed on the ground and was picked up by Dick as he walked by.

"Check what family it is, and send it back later with the previous one. Fitney commanded.

"Yes, miss. Dick was expressionless.

Elliott overheard the conversation between the two and complained about something else: "I can't figure out what these nobles are thinking, and so is Misse, and I still don't understand what Hilton is for—after Dahl put forward this investigation agency, he focused on his own proposal, can he have anything else to do?"

"The Hilton Investigative Agency was originally set up to investigate something - but then it gave rise to two offices that were not under Dahl's control. Fitney rubbed his eyebrows.

They have faced a lot of problems lately, and this was true of Duncan's death, as well as with the Hilton Investigative Agency. The intricacies are more desperate than what happens in Starlight.

Elliott complained about something that Fitney had been listening to a lot lately, and she hadn't listened carefully, remembering what she had seen in the theater, and she now thought that the Wezdem family was plotting something, perhaps against the interests of the Holy See, which would make the Duke of Wizdem kill the Duke of Morols.

"The Holy See has little roots in Dryden, for King Andrew has had a series of acts of rejection of the Holy See - but he has great respect for Duncan Morrows. Dick remembered something and said aside.

"Why did King Andrew ostracize the Holy See? I remember that he did not have any hatred with the Holy See. ”

"It seems that for the sake of the Empress, Her Highness Shirley once suffered a great setback, and has been lukewarm to the Holy See ever since. ”

"Is that for love? sounds terrible—but Queen Shirley is a very special woman. Elliott gave a subtle smile.

Let's think so, but Shirley's love for Adez is obvious to all. ”

"But she's Andrew's queen, isn't she? Almost no one remembers that thing - after King Andrew's death, a lot of things became unclear. ”

"King Andrew...... After death?" Fitney came back to her senses and muttered to herself, then she suddenly remembered something, "When was the Hilton Investigative Agency established?"

"The month of progress in 715, but by that time, King Andrew had been dead for almost a year. Elliott suddenly realized what Phytenay was thinking, and he felt a little incredible.

"It takes at least a year to build a location that has never been before. Fitney said.

"Well, even so, the Hilton Investigation Agency was set up to investigate King Andrew - but what can he investigate?"

"The cause of death -- like Duncan, forgotten, the cause of death. Fitney said word by word.

"Does anyone want to assassinate the king?!" Elliot really didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
