Chapter 25 Tracking

Robin's task for Kaye is simple -

Follow Matilda.

He needed to see if what Matilda said was true.

……

Keeping track of a grand duke is not a simple matter.

At Mattida's side is a knight of the Prison Realm, Carlo, a knight of the Blue Lagoon known as one of the Four Horsemen of the Kingdom.

Matilda herself is a high-ranking disciple of the magic master Flora, and her strength is close to the level of a magister.

Fortunately, Kaye's skills are relatively good, so he was followed for several days without being discovered by the other party.

Before becoming the consul of the city of Sykored's hero, Gaxey, Kaye also came up from the bottom, and when she was younger, there were some things she did a lot.

Kaye doesn't really need to do much on his own.

With Robin's financial backing, she could get the information she wanted from the homeless and some small children.

At least 20 people were helping her keep an eye on the path Matilda walked every day, and the eyeliner didn't have to expose herself at all.

According to Kaye, you just need to focus on your own business, and if Master Matilda passes by, write down the time and who she is with, and tell Kaye in the evening.

Even if Grand Duke Matilda stays at home all day today and doesn't go out, these people still have money.

I'm afraid there is no such idle and lucrative errand in the world.

If you have money to take and don't have to take any risks, of course these people are willing.

Only in one case will Kaye act on his own -

Like now.

Matilda took Carol out of the Grand Duke's estate.

……

A four-wheeled carriage carried them towards the King's Castle.

Kaye's eyes lit up, and he jumped back and forth on the roof of the house along the brightly colored triangular roof, following them steadily.

Her steps were light, like a gust of wind passing over the rooftops.

This period of time can be regarded as suffocating Kaye.

This young duke is really quite self-disciplined to say.

She often lives in the Grand Duke's villa in the aristocratic district of Haoyue City, and often does not go out once for several days.

Every day, Kaye could see the light from a distance as Matilda worked hard to practice her magic.

and the lonely and stubborn little figure under the light of magic.

Carol also rarely goes out, mostly by Mattida's side.

Her servants went to the market to buy food and groceries according to a fixed route, and the old butler occasionally went out to buy some goods, but they were all very common.

The people they came into contact with were basically traders, and occasionally there were one or two people with suspicious identities, and finally found out their identities, and they were all messengers brought from the dawn.

Everything is so bland that it makes people feel tight.

In the meantime, Kaye also took advantage of the fact that the messenger who traveled between Dawn Leader and Haoyue City peeked at the Grand Duke's letter when he was asleep at night, and found that the content was also very trivial, probably about how to deal with the internal affairs of Dawn City, how to arrange personnel management, how to carry out the development of the coming year, and so on.

In one of the letters, Mattida also revealed matters that she had recently discussed with His Majesty.

The letter was addressed to her agent in the Dawning Territory, and the old butler of Denise, who had served the three generations of the Grand Duke of the Dawning Territory.

The letter stated that Mattida was very worried about what had happened in the past few months, whether it was the assassination of Saiya, the calling of the Chosen One, or the death of Sekorid's messenger in Itner.

His Majesty seems to be inclined to send troops to Sekorid, and will definitely borrow troops from Twilight at that time.

Matilda was very worried about this, so she hoped to get the help of the old butler.

Although the content of the letter is not very many, it is confidential.

This reassured Kaye a little.

She had thought that what she was following had been discovered by this young but extremely shrewd Grand Duke, so she deliberately created something to confuse her.

But to be able to talk about such a confidential thing in the letter, it should be that Kaye's existence was not discovered.

In addition, she found a special envelope in the courier's pocket, which was reinforced with magic, and Kaye had to give up if she tried to disassemble it violently.

Kaye guesses that it most likely has something to do with Robin.

……

And now, after ten days of tracking, Grand Duke Matilda has actually walked out of the house.

Wherever she's going.

Can't help but excite Kaye.

The carriage followed the King's Road all the way, and Kaye thought that Mattida would go to the King's Castle, but he didn't expect the carriage to turn a corner on the way and drive into the temple area.

Kaye's eyes flashed with confusion, then his eyes sparkled.

In this way, the trip is not easy.

In the temple area, except for the temple, the other houses are arranged in an unusually neat and criss-cross manner.

Densely packed with red and blue houses, it is also one of the most prosperous residential areas in the kingdom.

Matilda entered the alley of Maria and stopped the carriage.

It was a narrow alley that could not fit a horse-drawn carriage.

She led Carol into the alley.

For some reason, as Kaye followed them from the rooftop, the fog around them grew thicker.

It's normal to say, after all, it's the south, the water is humid, and it's close to winter, so it's basically foggy in the morning and evening.

But Kaye instinctively realized that the thick fog that hung over the temple area was not normal.

Rising too fast, condensing too thickly, obscuring her vision.

Kaye grinned.

Then he moved his muscles and jumped lightly off the roof.

With a light step, she pulled up the hood from her back and put it over her head.

It stands to reason that Matilda had never met her, and Kaye's identity was relatively unfamiliar.

Kaye is not in the temple all the year round, and she is basically with Robin, and even in the temple, few people know her.

Therefore, there is a rumor that there is a mysterious guard beside the Chosen One.

The strength can be compared to Arce, but it is even more mysterious, no one has ever seen the appearance of this guard, and the people who have seen it have basically gone to the land of souls.

It's an exaggeration, but it at least shows how much the oracle and Robin value her.

Cultivating such a mysterious and terrifying presence for the temple would help to serve as a deterrent.

Besides, Kaye really has the strength.

She walked inward down the alley of Maria, determined that if she met Matilda, she would treat her as if she didn't know her, and go all the way to the end.

This damn fog is getting thicker and thicker.

Visibility slowly reduced to less than ten meters.

However, when she reached the bottom of the alley and entered Lisa Avenue, she still did not see Matilda's figure.

So does Carlo.

It was as if they had disappeared from the fog.

Kaye's heart pounded.

She realized something terrible -

I lost it.

Moreover, the fog just now was obviously created deliberately to prevent others from following it.

That little child, Your Excellency, I am afraid that she has already discovered her existence.

Kaye didn't have time to think about anything else.

She made the decision as soon as possible.

If the other person already knows about her existence, then tracking loses its meaning.

Now we need to hurry up and get out of here and get back to the temple.

The mission has failed.

With that in mind, Kaye put his hands in his pockets, craned his neck, and began to walk towards the east side of Lisa Avenue.

The streets are full of people.

She wasn't sure if she would be attacked.

But when Kaye reached the end of the avenue, about to walk down Vivien Street to King's Road, she suddenly stopped—

In the thick fog, several familiar figures appeared.
