Volume 5 Days in the Sun One Hundred and Seventy-Eight, In the Inn
Minna rolled her eyes, approached her mother with a sweet smile, and said softly, "Why did Mom suddenly mention this?" Aren't I very good now? Learn to do experiments by yourself at home, if you don't understand, you can also ask Grandpa Sennet and Teacher Sauron, and even the teacher said that I am making rapid progress, and I plan to take the magic master qualification in two years. I can't find a better magician on the continent than Mr. Sauron and Grandpa Sennet."
A hint of hesitation flashed on Dora's face, but she quickly returned to her original state: "Why do you have to become a Demon Master?" As long as you can make a few practical waters, you don't have to rely on that to make a living, there are also magicians in the Ito School of Magic, even if they are not as good as your two teachers, they are better than you, and it is the same if you ask them for advice Now you just go to the house of the great magician of Sennet for a month or two every year, and by the way, go to Master Sauron to study for a few days and use the rest of her time to study, can't you learn more? ā
Minna shook her hand coquettishly: "But, Mom, I am reluctant to leave Dad and you"
Dora shivered, looked at her daughter Minna strangely and secretly screamed that it was not good, pretended to be too much, and hurriedly hugged her: "Mom, I have been separated from you since I was a child, and then I was always not at home, don't you want me to accompany you more?" ā
Dora was sad when she said this, and hugged her daughter and said, "Of course I want to, but... If you are rude and rude all day long, how can you marry out in the future?"
Won't this be too early? Minna folded, raised her head to look at her mother, and saw Dora muttering with a sad face: "Yes, this is a major event related to your lifelong happiness, I still accompany you to Ito..."
"No way!" Minna shouted, startling Dora, and she hurriedly lowered her voice to explain, "Mom, are you going to leave Daddy behind?" Then he is too pitiful to live without the king's order, he can't leave the territory, and if you're not there, how can he live?"
"That'sā" Dora's concern for her husband prevailed, but she couldn't rest assured about her daughter's affairs, "but you really should learn more about ladylike etiquette, I usually teach you so much, you obviously do a good job, why did you turn around and go back rudely?" Although your uncle's personality is not very good, his proposal is indeed very good, I heard that Ito also has a special etiquette school for the children of nobles, even if it is a long-standing aristocratic family, they are willing to send their children there, you can go to school for a few months."
Minna felt uncomfortable, why did Uncle Elon mention this kind of thing in a good manner: "Don't, I know my mother's etiquette school, it's terrible, the children of the nobles who are born in it will deliberately laugh at those who have a lower rank in the family, not only bullying in every way, but even beating people half to death I have seen it with my own eyes" She went on a mission before, pretending to be a little maid, and cooperated with a security department colleague who pretended to be the daughter of a nobleman from another province to infiltrate a etiquette school to investigate a certain riding professor with a suspicious identity, It was later confirmed that he was a foreign spy, and she had witnessed such phenomena at the time, but not as seriously as she had claimed
Dora had never heard of such a thing, her aristocratic etiquette was guided by the governess invited by her father, and now she really hesitated: "That... Maybe you can learn it at home... I'll ask your uncle to help me get a good governess."
Minna had just breathed a sigh of relief, and Dora put on a straight face again: "But you must not be so arrogant again, you must act like a real lady!" Rise! Chest! She patted her daughter's back and forced Minna to straighten as straight as she could, "You have to take a steady step, or you don't have a big shoe, and your skirt can't fly!" Also, shirts and vest skirts have long been out of fashion, and your mother has made so many fashionable skirts, you should wear them more, and your hair is obviously thick and dense, and you look as beautiful as your mother was when she was young, why don't you be a good soldier?! Look at your face so tanned! My hair is as dry as grass..."
Out of the corner of her eye, Minna caught a glimpse of Alex walking towards the door, and hurriedly interrupted her: "Mommy, Alex is here, I'll go and entertain him first!" With that, he hurriedly ran downstairs, threw the tray on the counter, and ran out of the door to drag Alex: "Alex, it's a coincidence that you're here, I happen to have something to find you, let's talk while walking..."
Alex was a little baffled but saw Dora chase out of the house and shouted, "Don't run so fast!" Sven point! He secretly snickered and was obediently pulled away by Minna
When she came to the street, Minna looked back at her mother and didn't chase her out, so she stopped, and Alex smiled sullenly and asked, "What?" Taught by my aunt that she is not ladylike enough? She glanced at him angrily: "If that's it, forget it, she still wants to send me to Ito to study and ask me to attend the aristocratic etiquette school!" ā
Alex raised his eyebrows: "That's not a good place, you must be miserable if you go, in fact, you are very good now, why should you restrain yourself by nature?" ā
"That's what you think too?" Minna was a little happy, "I know that although you are also a nobleman, you definitely don't like these etiquette or something," paused, and realized a little: "You are also suffering in that kind of learning bear, aren't you?" ā
"Of course no, we have always been taught by tutors, but I think the school should be about the same, and I know that kind of education is not for you."
Alex said this very seriously, and Minna was a little moved when she heard it: "Alex, you are really my good friend!" ā
Alex slapped his hand, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "By the way, I really have something to find you, you come with me" Without saying a word, Minna hurriedly followed, and asked what it was, he just said, "You'll know later", and resolutely refused to reveal half a word
When they came to the inn where Alex lived, the boss greeted them with a smile when he saw them: "Welcome!" Miss Minna, would you like some milk tea? Fresh"
Minna raised a smile: "Then have two drinks...""Boss, we have something important to look for you, sit down and talk first!" Alex interrupted her before she could finish speaking, pulled her to a corner and sat down, and motioned for the boss to come over
He lowered his voice and said, "Boss, do you remember the guests in rooms three and four on the second floor?" You told me that they inquired about the Lord's Mansion every day, tell Minna."
Minna was a little surprised, and hurriedly turned to the boss, who hurriedly said: "Yes, those are six guests, listening to the accent is Ito, at first I thought they were mercenaries passing by or something, but then I felt more like merchants, because they always inquire about which store the Lord's Mansion usually likes to go to to buy wine and meat, which shop they often frequent, etc., but in the past two days, they have inquired about what kind of people the Lord's Mansion usually likes to hire to work in the Mansion for short-term work, and which shops in the city need manpower, and those shops, It's all about trading with the Lord's Mansion, and I thought something was wrong, so I mentioned it to Mr. Alex, but I didn't expect Miss to really come and ask! He rubbed his hands together in some excitement, almost unable to sit still, but Minna lowered her head and fell into deep thought
People from Ito who want to enter the Lord's Palace? Why?
Suddenly, she remembered the guest at home, was it for him?
Minna beckoned her boss to come closer and asked in a low voice, "Where are those people now?" ā
The boss also learned to lower his voice: "There are two of them in room three, and they haven't come back in the morning, and they will definitely be there when they take care of the routine."
Minna nodded, thanked him and let him go to work first The boss reluctantly walked back to the counter, and caught a glimpse of the owner of the inn diagonally opposite him squinting at him and glancing in the direction of Minna, he suddenly got up proudly, cleared his throat, sat down on a high chair, smiled, and said unhurriedly to the guests who entered the door: "Welcome, do you want to stay in the hotel?" "Then it was very pleasant to see the competitor turn his head in anger
Minna, on the other hand, followed Alex back to his room, and after taking isolation measures, she immediately asked him, "You also think those people are coming for the eldest prince, right?" ā
"Of course, it's obvious," Alex said, "but it's not clear what their purpose is, whether they want to confirm His Highness's injuries, or if they want to disadvantage him?" ā
Minna thought for a moment and said, "How about we wait for them to come back and then quietly eavesdrop on them?" ā
Alex didn't nod or object, but called the innkeeper and asked him to change his room to room No. 2 or No. 5 to the boss changed room No. 5 for him, Minna paid attention to it and found that it happened to be next door to room No. 4, so as a precaution, she persuaded the boss to give her a uniform of an innkeeper, so that she could disguise herself as a maid and go to room No. 2 to eavesdrop when needed
At noon, the four of them had returned, and after dinner they had gathered in room four to talk, and Minna happily threw aside her maid's uniform and leaned against the wall to hear what they were saying, but she could not hear anything, and could not help but be a little anxious
Alex calmly said "Get out of the way", drew a circle on the wall with something, and then nodded his wand and recited a spell, and the conversation on the other side of the wall immediately became clear
ā⦠I cried for half an hour! I'm sure the Great Prince must be dying, otherwise that Herbie wouldn't have been so sad! ā
"It would be great if that were the case, we wouldn't have to find a way to sneak into the lord's mansion! A little viscount, the family is so tightly defended! ā
"You still have to confirm it with your own eyes, these are just rumors, we must know the truth, otherwise how can we explain to the top?"
Minna and Alex glanced at each other and immediately pressed against the wall
"It should be seriously injured, but not to the point of dying," a voice that had not spoken lightly interjected, "If there is really a danger to life, the second prince and the daughter of the Kada family will not leave like this, and His Majesty the King will definitely bring someone over I think the reason why he stayed alone is probably because he knows in his heart that he is disfigured and lame, and he is no longer worthy of being the lord of a country, right?" ā
"Your reasoning is reasonable, and if that is the case, what should we do? He's no longer a threat, but he's not dead, which doesn't match the orders from above."
"Actually... The second prince is very good with him, since he is no longer qualified to inherit... We don't have to do it, right? ā
"Nonsense!" "You're getting impatient?!"
At the same time, two people refuted this suggestion, one of whom also said: "Even if everyone thinks that he is not qualified, if His Majesty the King insists, we can't take him and hum, and the whole country can see which of the two princes is more suitable to inherit the throne, and only His Majesty the King will lose his mind and support the eldest prince."
"That's... Or do you want to dive in? ā
"That's right! I've already inquired, the nearby fish shop sends fish every two days, the latest one is tomorrow, the fish shop is short of manpower, I will change my clothes later, and then go to the job! ā
"I'm in charge of monitoring the back door!"
"Leave it to me, but... How can you be sure that the eldest prince will definitely eat fish? ā
"It doesn't matter if you don't eat it, he always has to drink water if he tries to pour it into the water tank, right? Others will be sick for two days at most if they take this kind of herb, but he has been poisoned before, and he will die if he touches it a little more! ā
"Then I'll go to the butcher to find a job, and if you fail, I can do it a second time."
"Good!" "Good!"
After discussing the details carefully, they began to tease each other, one person dressed as a pariah, someone put on the butcher's hat wrong, someone was too handsome to get out of if he was entangled by the maids, and so on
Minna thought that there would be no more important information in the future, but she unexpectedly heard a sentence: "You say, this time the eldest prince died in the lord's palace, what will be the morning of Viscount Merton"
Minna's face sank, her eyes couldn't stare through the wall, Alex pulled her: "Listen to it" She took a deep breath and put it back on the wall
ā⦠Get rid of the viscount title! ā
"Throw it in jail! Imprisoned in Balasig! ā
"The whole family is sentenced to death!"
"No, he has made a lot of contributions before, I think he is probably no longer trusted by the king, right?"
"That's enough, the boss has been very annoyed, the daughter of the Kajia family is so cheeky, pestering the second prince every day as long as Lord Merton kills the eldest prince, Elon. Cardo's plan fell through..."
Minna listened to the laughter on the other side of the wall, gritted her teeth with hatred, Alex took the magic, quietly pulled her out of the inn, walked to the lake, looked at no one on the left and right, and then said to Minna: "Don't be angry, we already know the conspiracy of those people, and we will never let them succeed."
"Of course!" Minna let out a loud shout, suppressing the anger in her heart, and suddenly, she had a brilliant idea, and couldn't help but laugh: "Alec, are you interested in playing a game with me?" ā
(The conspiracy is here again, what will Minna teach those people a lesson?) Ask for a pink ticket)
