"Looks like you've been waiting for a long time, right?" Heiliga didn't want to talk too much nonsense and went straight to the point. The Earl of Hertha has obviously not been doing very well these days, and his body, which has been looking old because of his long-term nervous breakdown, has been even more small and weak because of this fear these days.

"That...... ......Hearing Heliga's voice, Count Hertha suddenly stopped his anxious pacing, turned his head, and was suddenly startled when he saw Heliga, "You are not from Haidu-"

"What? Were you paying attention to me all the time? Heliga smiled, not paying attention to why Count Hertha was able to remember his own affairs just by one side, "I think so, after all, there are not many people who will talk to you at banquets when they are idle and bored, especially when everyone knows your character." I'm not wrong, am ......? ”

"This ...... What the hell is going on...... "Count Hertha was obviously in a logical confusion - Heliga understood that he looked like he was only in his teens, and Count Hertha's visit to "Paradise" was at least six years ago, and if Heliga was an imperial nobleman, it was absolutely impossible for him to know these things at that age. All of this made the Count of Hertha feel a little incredible.

"Actually, I also investigated you a little, and although the results are not too clear so far, I seem to have guessed the specific situation." Heliga sighed softly, ignoring the somewhat frightened gaze of Count Hertha, and approached him, "The relationship between you and Paradise does not seem to be what I imagined. ”

“…… Pander to...... Count Amasia told me that the place had been completely ruined before...... Yes, it was ...... by other criminal organizations" Count Hertha lowered his head, not daring to look at Heliga, and his voice was inaudible, "So, so I thought there was nothing wrong......

"So, why did he tell you that it had been completely destroyed by a mysterious organization?" Heliga asked slowly.

"Because ......" mentioned this matter, Count Hertha's already distorted expression instantly became even more distorted, "Because...... Because that place was introduced to me by that guy! ”

When he said this, the tone of Count Hertha was a gritted teeth and grievance that Helliga could easily understand. Although his expression was glazed and his hands trembled after telling the truth, as if he couldn't believe what he had just done, deep down, Heliga could tell that there was a faint sense of relief and pleasure after he said all this.

"Tell me about it." Heiliga continued to ask patiently. So far, the Count of Hertha's reaction has not been unexpected. Rather, this was one of the most probable inferences he had made based on his existing speculation.

Count Amasia seems to be using this matter to control Count Hertha - otherwise, with the equal status of both of them, Count Amasia treats this Count Hertha like some low-ranking nobleman who has just entered the stream. Although in front of the others, Amancia saved face for him, but in the solitude of the two, he showed no mercy to the Count of Hertha - coupled with those notes in the Count of Hertha's house, it proves that in the whole of the pearl trade in Ballihat, the part of the income he received was far less than he should have received, and the excess was swallowed by the Count of Amasia as a matter of course, these facts already show very well what the Count of Ammancia has to the Count of Hertha, Or what scared him was inside.

"......" For a moment, the Count of Hertha seemed to be suffering an indescribably great pain. His lips squirmed repeatedly, and beads of sweat were still the size of beans on his forehead in the cold wind of late autumn. His face was pale, and he felt like he could die almost at any moment.

However, when he spoke, the words he spoke were somewhat calm and unexpectedly calm.

"The thing...... It started six years ago. ”

——————————————————————

Among the values that the aristocracy of the empire has always flaunted, two are very important - that is, elegance and tradition. The former naturally refers to the complex aristocratic court etiquette, while the latter refers to the inheritance of an aristocratic family, and how many outstanding characters have been born in the process of this inheritance, which is worth mentioning repeatedly by later generations.

At this level, the Count of Ammancia and the family of Count Hertha can be regarded as representatives of the two extremes. The family of the Counts of Amencia has a long history, and can even be compared to the ruler of Kruchen, the Duke of Elbaria. It's just that, about two hundred years ago, the Amanthia family began to fall into a painful struggle: the powerful family that once gave the Elbaria family a headache was gone, and the successive generations of lords were unable to resist this decline of the entire family, and finally, the Amanthia family became a lonely boat under the storm - if it weren't for the father of the contemporary Count of Ammancia to appear in time and turn the tide, I am afraid that this ancient name would have long since withdrawn from the ranks of the Krutchen nobility.

In contrast, the Earl of Hertha did not have such a glorious family background to show off. After only six generations, his family became a nobleman in the famous "Battle of the Lion", where his ancestors were fortunate enough to perform many miracles on the battlefield and were lucky enough to survive until the end of the war. Afterwards, he was unusually promoted from a commoner to a knight, the lowest rank in the aristocracy, and through the relationship of the wife of the daughter of the earl's family, he was mixed up with the title of baron. Subsequently, after several generations of Hertha barons and viscounts, their family finally became one of the representatives of the emerging power of the aristocracy in Kruchen. In the end, when the wheel of fate pointed to the current Earl of Hertha, the Hertha family, who had entered the high-ranking aristocracy, should have enjoyed this moment of success.

However, what could have been a beautiful life was ruined by a demagogic proposal from Amancia that night.

Regardless of the era, the resources of Krutchen are limited. And when such a huge branch as the Amancia family retires from the stage of history, its vacancy will naturally be filled by a new generation of forces like Count Hertha. Although the wheels of history will always remember the victors, in the dark corners, there is no lack of malice of the unwilling. And the current Count of Hertha - apparently engulfed by such malice.
