Chapter 31: A Conversation in Prison

readx;?ā€œ The guy behind me? haha, I thought you would have some interesting questions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info do you think I'll answer you?"

"You will. ā€

"If I don't say it, are you going to torture me, as I did to your companions?"

"Nope. I'm not the same person as you. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. ā€

"So, if I did, would you let me go, or would you give me any benefit?"

"No!"

"It's really categorical. You can tell you that you already know the answer, and the reason why you came to ask me was just to confirm. Well, as you wish. I don't really know who is behind me, or who I am helping me. ā€

"You don't know? ā€

"Because they never showed up, and I didn't have contact with these people. Only the old marshal knew about their existence. ā€

"Old marshal?"

"Yes. For more than a decade, there has been a mysterious financier behind our repatriates who has provided us with a large amount of money to finance our repatriation operations for a long time. I know that there is this gold master, but I don't know who the gold master is, because only the old marshal has a one-line connection with the gold owner. ā€

"So, since you haven't been in contact with the financiers behind the scenes, why did you instigate this rebellion?"

"So, do you think I must have been behind it?"

"You're saying that you planned all of your actions on your own? ā€

"Why not? How much do you know about me? I don't care if you are the real Princess Sophia or not, with your self-righteous ideas, you are still far from being the leader of the Restoration. ā€

"Don't talk to him left or right, answer my questions. ā€

"You said you only asked me one question, now it's the first question?"

The conversation went on in an unexpectedly unpleasant atmosphere to this extent, beyond Sophia's expectations, and she did not delve into Nemo's uncooperation. "Okay. Then our communication is the main thing. General Bobcat, take care. With that, Sophia walked out of the cell with Alice without looking back.

"Hey, hey, wait!"

Nemo shouted and rushed up from behind. If it weren't for the length of the chain, his hand would have grabbed Sophia's coat.

"What are you doing!" Alice kicked Nemo's hand away.

She couldn't tolerate Sophia's clothes being touched by such a dirty hand.

Sophia also stopped, using silence to ask about the other party's intentions.

"I've answered your question, now it's up to you to answer me. Nemo did not give up.

"Who do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to question Her Royal Highness? Sophia, leave him alone, let's go. ā€

"Wait, Alice, it's okay for us to hear it. ā€

The second daughter turned and faced Nemo again.

"I have the same problem as you. Who is the person behind you. Or to put it another way, who are your helpers?" Nemo asked in a deep voice.

Sophia had no intention of answering the same question she had just asked, it wasn't meant to be a reciprocal conversation, and she had no obligation to Nemo.

But in contrast to Sophia's silence, Nemo laughed, "Haha...... If I thought you would react like this, it seems that my speculation was correct. ā€

"Speculation?"

"Actually, like you, I already know the answer, and I just want to confirm it. Among the four great generals of our Restoration, there is one person who is different, and that is the 'bull' who the other three generals have never met in person and only have one-way contact with the old marshal. If you can know more about the situation inside and outside the Avenger camp than you can at home, and you can get Mrs. Dunnis to help, the only possibility for you, as an outsider, is that General Bull, who is in charge of intelligence, has long been on your side. ā€

"Yes and what? No, you're in a mess now. Knowing the answer will be able to turn the tables for you?"

"I at least know who I'm losing to. And I also know the true identity of General Bull. ā€

"Who is it?" asked Alice before Sophia could speak.

Nemo sat back unhurriedly, "I have only shown the Battle Spirit Technique in front of one person, and there is only one person in the world who knows my War Spirit Skill so well, and she is the granddaughter of the old marshal." ā€

"You're talking nonsense! I've never seen your bullshit so-called battle spirit skills!" Alice felt teased.

"Miss Alice, you are not the only granddaughter of the old marshal. I'm talking about Catherine. ā€

Is Catherine another name? Sophia was suspicious, but she didn't say it.

"Huh! You're addicted to lying. Alice said disdainfully, "What are you talking about Catherina, this sounds like the name of the Snowy Federation, when did our Dustsk family have a connection with the Snowy Federation? If I did have a sister or cousin, wouldn't I know?"

"There's a lot you don't know, Miss Alice. Catherina's mother was from the Snowy Federation. If you want to know more, you can ask the blonde lady next to you directly. ā€

Hearing Nemo call Sophia "Miss Blonde" instead of acknowledging her princess status, Alice is furious, "You bastard......"

But the rest of the words didn't come out of the way, for Sophia patted her gently on the back and shook her head.

It seems that Her Royal Highness does not want to continue to have contact with this prisoner. Alice understood, and she turned around with Sophia, walking shoulder to shoulder in the direction of the prison's exit. This time, no matter what happens next, they won't look back.

However, Nemo did not seem to be reconciled to end the conversation like this, he grasped the iron branch of the cell with both hands, and shouted at the shadows of the two girls who were gradually disappearing into the depths of the corridor, "I know you must still be in touch with Catherine! When you see her again, be sure to convey a sentence to me, she still owes me an answer!"

The two of them walked down the dark hallway, and when they turned the corner, they were no longer in Nemo's sight.

"Your Highness, do you believe the nonsense of this traitor?" asked Alice, apprehensively.

"I don't believe it. He alone threw this storm and waves, and there was no one behind him to help the trouble, and he couldn't do it with his ability. ā€

"I'm not talking about it, I'm talking about another granddaughter of Grandpa. ā€

"Alice, he's not entirely wrong. The old marshal does have another granddaughter besides you. Her father is your father and brother, and she herself did come to the Snowy Federation early to study magic, so it's no surprise that you don't know her. But her name is not Catherine, I should say, I don't know her name. ā€

"And who the hell is she? Is she the mysterious bull general?"

"I'm sorry, Alice. I promised her to keep it a secret, so please forgive me for not saying too much to you for the time being. ā€

"This ...... All right. ā€

Alice lowered her head slightly disappointed.

She originally thought that she and Sophia were close friends who had known each other since childhood, and they had lived and died together in the bloody war of the underground kingdom, and the two should know everything, but Alice ignored one thing, that is, Sophia had calmly faced her identity as a princess of the previous dynasty. In other words, Sophia is no longer the unrealistic, idealistic, and somewhat natural girl in Alice's memory. Now that Sophia has shouldered the responsibility of leadership, Alice can question or comment on her leader's decision, but she cannot disobey it. In the future, how to get along with Sophia as a guest and host, she has to work hard to learn.

A woman's mind is very delicate. Sophia immediately sensed the change in Alice's mood, and she hurriedly comforted, "But this secret is not immutable, you and her will always meet, and when the time comes, I will definitely tell you." ā€

"Hmm. Alice smiled again.

As they talked, they walked away, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the prison. Suddenly......

"Ouch!"

Sophia screamed without warning, and Her Royal Highness, who had been discussing serious topics a second ago, fell into a very ugly position.
