Chapter Ninety-Five: Meeting the Lord
"Sorry, you can't get out right now!"
As I hurried to the gate of Shixia Fortress to return to the city of Marcas, the guards stopped me. Could it be that the matter has been revealed? However, I noticed that the guards still used honorifics.
"Did something happen?" I asked the guards.
"The lord has just issued an order for martial law, and if you want to leave the fortress, you must obtain a pass from the lord, or wait for the martial law to be lifted."
Well, it seems that the lord confessed to his uncle not long ago, and he must have realized that his uncle was not actually involved in the theft, it was a conspiracy against them, and during this time of martial law they will try to find the black hand who is secretly in the scheme.
How to do it...... It is conceivable that they will be able to investigate as quickly as possible those who have approached Lajek's room. Even though I thought things were done cleanly, if I hadn't been more suspicious than I was, they would have to end up suspecting me.
In that case, let me be proactive. I turned back to the fortress under the stone, turned my back to the guards, drew the bloody rose from my chest, held it in my hand, and walked calmly towards the main hall of the lord.
……
"Be sure to speed things up! Don't spare me any suspicious people! ”
The anxious middle-aged man kept urging the guards waiting on the side, while at the same time not forgetting to show his loyalty to the man sitting on the throne.
"Igmund, you understand, the people who give me gifts every day and beg me to do things can line up from here all the way to the gates of Marcas, and I can't look down on the scrap metal of that high elf!"
"Well, my uncle, it's not the time when my father was alive more than twenty years ago, and it's only fitting for the nouveau riche of the Silverblood to say it now......" The man on the throne irritated as he removed the sapphire headband from his hand and tried to quiet his noisy uncle, "I think that bastard must have slipped away quietly after the blame was planted, it's too late to close the fortress and search now, and we have more important things to deal with before us!" ”
"Nothing is more important than my reputation, more important than ours! As for the high elf, you just have to tell him the truth in its entirety, and he will understand what is going on here! ”
"Uncle, I don't think you understand what's going on!" Igmund looked very troubled by the situation and explained to his uncle, "Casamer has hard evidence in his hand, and if we can't prove that the evidence is forged or provide more convincing evidence, he won't believe us!" ”
"Damn it, who the hell is copying my handwriting so similarly...... Igmund, do you have a way to deal with it now? ”
"If I had, Kasemer wouldn't have given me an ultimatum......"
"Hmph, that high elf really doesn't know what to do, we have funded his research for so many years, and now we actually say that we will turn our faces......" Speaking of this, Lajek suddenly fell to Igmund's side and lowered his voice, "Since we can't find more powerful evidence, why don't we take action before that high elf goes completely crazy?" ”
"This is the next step, if you really deal with it like this, wouldn't it be the mastermind behind the scenes...... Hey, who are you! Farin, who told you to let him in? ”
While Igmund was talking to his uncle, he suddenly noticed that an uninvited guest had been waiting on a stone chair on the side of the hall for a long time.
"Your Lordship...... He says he can help you out of your current troubles, and I don't think he's a liar......"
The Red Guard heard his master's call and hurried to Igmund to explain to him. I straightened the red tie on my chest, stood up from the stone chair and walked leisurely to the bottom of the throne, and gracefully arced the bloody rose in my hand in the air to imbue my language with an irresistible magic.
"That's right, my lord, I'm here to help you, and your guards have noticed. You should be glad that she has an eye that matches who she is, and that she didn't foolishly shut me out. ”
I took off my top hat and bowed slightly to Lord Igmund as I gazed eagerly at the stunned duo on the stage with a pair of blood-red eyes.
"There is no wish in this world that I can't fulfill." (To be continued......)
