"I'm sorry, because I don't believe you."

An unpleasant voice came from the black cloak:

"I'm just a thief with no status, and I'm not very powerful, if I go directly to you, I might be tortured, and I finally thought of this method."

Kevin didn't speak, glared at the cloak and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

His hands were covered with green tendons, his fingers were thick and strong, and in some places thick calluses had been sharpened, and he looked like an adult using a sword.

"Don't be so hostile."

The thief on the opposite side said:

"Bella once told me: 'Since the princess has not heard from her, this old fellow has become difficult to speak, and this time someone has brushed his tiger whiskers, so he is even more furious, and you better not go to see him in person.'"

The thief took out a dagger and played with it lightly in his hand:

"You see, she's right, we've just met, and before we could say a word, you want to reach out and draw your sword, which makes me very embarrassed."

"Poof."

Xia, who was on the roof, saw the black-clothed little Lori reading the lines designed on the system page in front of her seriously, and couldn't help but squirt out.

"She can remember so many things, but once she is on the spot, she will play abnormally, and she doesn't know what is wrong, if she can't cheat, this time it's really not easy to do."

At this time, Kevin's voice sounded in her earplugs:

"This is my fortress, and you are a suspicious person, these two points alone are enough for me to draw my sword against you."

His hand did not leave the hilt of the sword:

"Don't talk that nonsense anymore, I'm just going to ask you one thing...... Where is Her Royal Highness now? ”

There was a threat in his voice:

"If your next reply doesn't satisfy me, whether you can be stealthy or flying, I will definitely use a single means to catch you and hang your body on the gate of the fortress."

"I'm so scared, Lord Kevin."

The thief mocked:

"Shall we make a bet? If I wanted to, even if I hid in this fortress of yours for a year, you would never find the slightest trace of me, would you like to try it? ”

The gaze through the mask is calm, and the voice does not fluctuate in any way, but you can feel a strong confidence in it.

Kevin's gaze was fixed on the mask, the muscles in his hands flare, and his body slowly stood up from the sofa.

As if sensing his master's wrath, the giant white wolf at his feet bared out its sharp teeth.

The thief in the black cloak sat quietly behind the table, not moving, not at all frightened by the other party's movements.

"Good."

Kevin's body sat down slowly, and his hand loosened the hilt of his sword:

"Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, but if you don't have such courage, I don't believe you can find out the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The thief tossed the dagger with his gloved hand and shrugged his shoulders.

"Then I'll ask you something else, are you an intelligence dealer who sells information, or someone close to the princess?"

Kevin asked aloud as he leaned back on the soft couch.

"What if I said the latter."

The thief placed the dagger on the table and leaned forward slightly:

"It's not bad to be a good dealer, but I won't come to you in that case, because you're a decent soldier, and you won't have much wealth in your hands compared to those nobles with fat brains."

"You don't need to compliment me, I know who I am."

Kevin made a stop gesture unmoved:

"Answer my question."

The thief sat up straight:

"I'm the one with the princess...... And the relationship with her is very close, do you understand? ”

"This bastard little Lori, say some superfluous things."

Seeing Kevin's grim face in the scope, Xia scolded secretly in his heart.

What is a very close relationship, it is easy for people to misunderstand.

She leaped forward with her sniper gun in her hand and sped to another hidden rooftop.

"Oh?"

Kevin's eyes flickered over the other party's thin figure:

"How close? Let's talk about it. ”

"Stephanie, if you talk about any more useless things, you'll not be allowed to drink for a whole year!"

When it came to the distance between the two of them that could talk, Xia said viciously in his mind.

Someone, who was about to proudly show off the "intimacy" between the two, shook and hurriedly closed his open mouth again.

"Why, are you speechless? You insidious liar. ”

Kevin's voice was as cold as his face.

"You just need to know that we have a good relationship."

The thief coughed and said:

"But that's not the point......"

"Whether it's the point or not, it's up to me to decide!"

Kevin snapped:

"To answer my next question, how long have you known Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"It's been a long time."

The thieves used a vague phrase this time.

"How long is it?"

Unlike just now, when he was angry at every turn, Kevin suddenly became patient:

"Then let's talk about Her Royal Highness when she was a child."

His voice became very gentle:

"Everyone has their own childhood playmates, even the princesses of a country...... Maybe you are one of her childhood sweethearts, the princess liked to run around the castle when she was a child, and you two may have known each other at that time, but we old fellows don't know these things. ”

"Master, what should I do about this problem? We didn't prepare an answer. ”

Stephanie asked in her mind.

"Tell me the truth."

Xia pondered for a while and gave instructions.

"I don't know."

The thief was silent for a long time, and finally said four words.

"Yes."

Kevin's hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at some point:

"Even if the two of you didn't know each other before, if the relationship was really as close as you said, she would definitely sue you or something, how can I trust you?"

"I don't know, I don't know, we've known each other for less than two years, and I've never heard her mention her past."

The thief replied with some impatience:

"Are you satisfied?"

Kevin looked at him straight with his eyes and suddenly laughed:

"That's right."

His hand was completely off his side this time:

"If you said you know, my sword would have just gone through your throat, thief."

There was some exclamation in his words:

"A few years ago, when the princess first appeared in front of everyone, she was the same as she is now, and no one had ever seen her as a child, if it were not for His Royal Highness the Prince's own confession, and spoiled her to the extreme; We simply don't believe that His Highness suddenly has such a big granddaughter. ”

Hearing the words coming from the earbuds, Xia suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Although Xia's origin is mentioned in the game, her past has never been introduced, and Xia has become hostile to the kingdom after serving as the guardian knight of the Order, if these princes' old subordinates are really so familiar with her, how can they not stop her?"

And there is one biggest doubt.

A few years ago?

First time in front of everyone?

The prince personally admitted that Xia was his granddaughter?

- If Bella hadn't lied, Prince Sacco would have been dead for ten years!

"Stephanie, don't talk lightly below, there's something wrong with this Kevin."

Natsu issued a warning to the black-clothed little Lori.

"What's the matter, master, is he a fake? Or is it a big bad guy in itself. ”

Stephanie asked curiously.

"I don't know, I guess something will happen in a while, then you can find a way to get out, daggers and cloaks are mass goods, throw them away, and he can't find clues; It's a pity to have a mask, but there's no way to do it, so let's buy another one later. ”

Natsu mounted the sniper on the roof and continued to pay attention to the scene in the room.

"Thief, although I don't know who you are, as long as you listen to what you just said, your life is no longer in your hands."

Kevin waved his hand.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers appeared from the street outside Bella's mansion and surrounded the entire mansion.

These soldiers all held heavy crossbows in their hands, and the tips of the crossbow arrows shone with the brilliance of magic, which turned out to be rare magic weapons.

"Whoosh-"

Dozens of dark shadows also appeared in the sky, falling on the wall and the courtyard respectively, and they were some mages in robes.

"Huh? Who's that. ”

Just when Xia Xin was frightened by the other party's arrangement, a maid with short red hair suddenly appeared from the scope.

She had emerged from a corner outside the window, and seemed to have been eavesdropping on the inside of the room.

"Remember that she was Bella's personal maid, and she seemed to be called Sabrina." Natsu recognized the woman.

I saw that the maid dodged the magician in the air with a very covert step, came to a large room, and jumped into it.

"Could it be that Bella sent her to monitor this meeting?"

Doubts arose in Xia's heart.

At this moment, something happened in the house.

The thief in the black cloak suddenly disappeared behind the table, his cloak fluttering to the ground.

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time, the table was split in half, a dagger and a mask fell from the air, and Kevin stood there with his sword in hand, his face showing surprise.

"It seems that this thief is really not simple."

He said to himself:

"You can get out right under my nose."

"Quick, get all the suspicious people in this house!"

He ordered outside.

"What about Miss Bella."

A masked man flashed into the room and asked in a low voice.

"Keep her in check, if the lord's daughter is really imprisoned, it will be difficult to supply the fortress in the future."

Kevin sat back on the couch in a bit of a dejected state, and the snow-white wolf rubbed his head against his leg.

"I still made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, Bing Yin." He reached out and touched the white wolf's fur and said.

Xia saw it so earnestly that a line of muddy tears flowed from his eyes:

"It's been so long, and I finally got the news of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I cut off the only clue with my own hands, could it be ...... Is my sword really dull? ”

He lowered his head and covered his face.

The majestic general just now is gone, and now he is more like a sad old man.

"Lord Kevin, what about the maids and guards that Bella brought? Do you want to be locked up? ”

A soldier asked for instructions outside the door.

"Lock them up, but don't tie them up."

Kevin jerked his head up, reached out to wipe the tears from his eyes, and resumed his original voice.

"Yes!"

The soldiers outside took the order.

Silence returned to the room, but a noisy search began outside, and from time to time there were angry scolding and cries of women, and it was not until about 20 minutes that the noise gradually stopped.

"Can't you smell anything, it seems that the other party is really an unfathomable thief."

Kevin's white wolf sniffed in the house for a long time, and finally found nothing at his feet, looking very depressed.

"Let's go and see those women first, the thief just now didn't have any smell or smell on him, I don't know if the other party is a man or a woman, maybe ask them what clues they will find."

He pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword and walked towards the door.

But as soon as he reached the door, his pace slowed down, and finally stopped there.

"Click."

From behind him came the sound of masks.

The black cloak on the ground slowly rose from the ground, revealing the shape of a human being.

"I thought I'd just leave."

The voice of the thief just now sounded from the mask:

"But seeing your tears made me change my mind again."

Kevin jerked around and looked at the weird thief.

Has the other party been lurking here, or has they crept back inside from the outside?

No matter which point it is, the other party's terrible Cheng dù is beyond his imagination.

"A strong man like you shouldn't appear in this kind of place at all."

He didn't draw his sword this time:

"Sue me, are you my enemy or my comrade-in-arms?"

"I'm nothing, old general."

The thief replied:

"But she's different."

With that, the thief took out a small ball of image, placed it on the table, and stepped aside.

"It's ......"

Kevin clearly knew what it was, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I'll come back and get it when I'm done, don't break it."

The thief said seriously:

"Because we're poor."

"Stephanie, come back!"

Xia shouted with a fever on his face.

Even if it's the truth, you don't need to be so straightforward, right?

This time the thief swaggered behind the curtain, and inside he knew what he had done, and soon stopped moving.

The sword flashed in Kevin's hand, and the curtain fell neatly, and the back was empty, and the thief didn't know when it disappeared.

"Wow wow! Master, ears are going to be plucked out! ”

On the roof in the distance, Xia tugged at the ear of the little Lori in black:

"Let you do a little thing, why is there so much nonsense? Starting today, you will be fined for a month and not allowed to drink alcohol, do you hear? She twisted it back and forth twice on the tiny ear before letting go.

"Woo ......"

The little Lori in black covered her ears and replied with a crying voice:

"Master, I was wrong...... Don't dare next time. ”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Xia felt a little unbearable in her heart, and helped her rub her ears:

"Okay, stop crying. Now go to Bella's red-haired maid and see her specific information. ”

She looked in the direction of the house and said:

"I suspect there's something wrong with her."

Stephanie was very efficient, wiped her tears and flew to the place where the women were, and soon the news came:

"Master, this maid does have a problem, in addition to her profession of four-turn ordinary swordsman, she also has the profession of a military intelligence investigator! But the level is a lot worse than that Luo Ye. ”

Military intelligence investigators?

Spy?

"Could it be that someone specially arranged for this woman to be with Bella?" Natsu scratched her hair and suddenly felt that her brain was a little insufficient. R1152
