Avi knew very well that Dorothea was not a madman, and that the other party did not show any strangeness when she caught her in the abandoned bell tower, except for the way she looked like she was disheveled. It's just that until now, Avi hasn't fully seen Dorothea's true appearance.

"She's not crazy... She's just dressed a little weird and behaves differently than the average person. ”

Reeves picked up a pen and drew in circles in the notebook that recorded Dorothea's daily behavior, "She's not crazy, but her mother is a crazy person, she lived in a group of crazy people, she grew up there, and she was also imprisoned for 'madness.'" ”

Avi could understand, after all, Dorothea's repeated attempts to assassinate Bradley were definitely a capital offense, and Bradley had been open to her, as if to repay the guilt for Walter's death. Thinking of this, Avi couldn't raise her head in front of Dorothea, and the person who ended Walter's life in the end was herself, and Dorothea obviously regarded Walter as the most important person.

"What makes her special is who she is," Reeves put down his notebook and began to explain to Avi, "Her mother is also a madman, but according to Walter's close associates, Dorothea's mother's identity is not ordinary, and it is highly likely that she is from the Old Kingdom. ”

Avi was stunned, and when he reacted, Reeves was already continuing to explain.

"We have only recently received this information, and if Dorothea is of royal blood in the Kingdom of Surren, then she cannot be treated as an ordinary madman. You should be aware that the remnants of the Kingdom of Surren are stirring up, as if an unknown force is pushing them to gain something at a time when the Three Duchyes are in chaos. ”

"This thing... Is it really part of the plan of the Duchy of Deramain?" Avi remembered the plan Bradley mentioned at the meeting, which was a major plan to subvert the Duchy of Dlamain and even affect the Duchy of No, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a conspiracy.

"If the true identity of this woman who was brought back by Prince Walter can be confirmed, then she can make a difference," Reeves held up a finger, "Her greatest role is to influence the remnants of the Old Kingdom who live in the center of the continent, after all, if the territory of the Three Duchyes wants to become the area ruled by the Kingdom of Salins for a long time, it must have some means." ”

Means are indeed needed. Although the regent Bradley had already shown himself to be very sure of taking the Three Duchyes in front of his courtiers, it was one thing to defeat and another to rule. If you want to use the Duchy of Deraman, the Duchy of No, and some of the territories of all the Duchy of Magini as a springboard to the distant north of the Kingdom of Cose, you must control the "balance" of the springboard, and Avi knows that this is not easy, especially when the Kingdom of Sarins uses diplomacy to seize something.

After hearing Reeves's simple explanation, Avi imagined a plan - if he could install a power regime of the Old Kingdom as a puppet in that area, it might be a viable way to rule there temporarily.

Perhaps Bradley thought of this to get Reeves to visit the woman in the Capital Jail, but Avi didn't know why he was brought here.

When the two of them reached the prison where Dorothea was being held, Dorothea suddenly fell from the top of the cell! Reeves also took a half-step back, as Dorothea was clutching the iron railing with both hands, staring into Reeves' eyes hidden behind the mask.

The three of them looked at each other like this, and none of them spoke first, and none of them moved.

"Many... Dorothea?" Finally Avi broke the silence tentatively.

"Murderer—" Dorothea slowly shifted her head, her eyes towards Avi. Avi could feel how cold her eyes, which only showed the middle half, and a cold air with hatred accompanied the prison air to soak into Avi's heart, making Avi shiver.

"Dorothea, do you want to get out of here?"

"I just want to avenge my master. ”

"I know that your master is Prince Walter, and that his death was an accident, and that the man who killed him by mistake is dead. "The man Reeves is talking about is the old captain Cowton, as the so-called death has no proof, Bradley blamed Walter's death on some dead soldiers and Cowton, and the also dead Broken Eyebrow was not regarded as one of the murderers, and Avi was deliberately forgotten, but Princess Knightney saw everything.

"Not dead yet, there's the real murderer, your regent Bradley. ”

Reeves and Avi didn't know what to say for a moment, and Dorothea began to shout.

"Bradley, Bradley, Bradley, Bradley, Bradley, Bradley, Bradley..."

Dorothea raised her voice every time she called the name of the Lord Regent, every few seconds, and I was afraid that the jailers and prisoners on the upper floors could hear a loud voice calling the name of the Grand Prince without listening. Reeves and Avi couldn't stop each other's shouts, and Avi seemed a little at a loss, as he could clearly perceive the hatred in Dorothea's every shout. That hatred was both peaceful and powerful, increasing with each name called.

"Your mother, Lady Judith who lives in the Asylum for the Insane in Winter City. Reeves uttered the words in an emotionless tone, and Dorothea was silenced for a moment, and the two sides fell into silence again, as if no one had spoken here, as if this was the depths of a dry underground canal.

Dorothea blinked, found a corner and sat down, not looking again. Avi knew that this was working, and it seemed that some of the information Reeves had just said must be true, her mother was Lady Judith who lived in the Asylum for the Insane in Winter City, and it was likely that this matter would be something else that Dorothea was concerned about.

"I'm not here for anything else, but to arrange for you to be sent back to the Duchy of Dlaman, to your mother. ”

Dorothea remained silent.

"I believe you are very familiar with that place, which can forcibly cut off your hatred with Mallot, and can be regarded as a kind of forgiveness to you by Lord Regent, and a kind of responsibility to the late Prince Walter. Avi listened to Reeves's language silently on the side, not knowing if this kind of words that could impress ordinary people could convince the woman with a special identity in front of him.

Dorothea remained silent.

Reeves held up a finger, "You won't be alone, Avita will escort you back as an envoy to the Kingdom of Sarins, and it's time for our 'Frost Queen' to go back to Winter City and visit Archduke Webster." ”

Dorothea remained silent, and so was Avi, but Avi was stunned in silence.

Reeves turned to look at Avi and whispered, "I know that you have a good personal relationship with the Queen, so I believe that this task is the most suitable for you." ”
