Chapter 39: The White Crow
Late at night, in one of the André family's mansions, Caesar was lying on the table and writing something quickly. One Reading Book ? ?· y?K ANSHU·COM
His handwriting was a little sloppy, and on the way back from the cemetery he had gone through the events of the afternoon in his head from beginning to end, to make sure that he had behaved perfectly at that time, and that there should be no flaws.
But for some reason, remembering the last Rob's words still cast a shadow on Caesar's heart, and in order to avoid long nights, he decided to pass on the information he had tonight.
When Caesar had finished writing the last word, he put down his pen, opened the birdcage beside him, and released the crow inside, and then took out a box of jerky from the cupboard, and threw two pieces to the crow on the table, and wrapped the note around its leg while it was eating, and the crow finished eating the dried meat, and looked back at him, and Caesar nodded at it, and then the crow spread its wings and flew into the night.
The young master of the Andrei family breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment there was a knock on the door behind him, the young man closed the window, and a middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady walked into the house.
The noble lady looked kind, holding a food plate in her hand, "Don't be so anxious about the things in your homework, you are already a third-order magician before you are twenty years old, even in the younger generation of the family, there are few people who are stronger than you, so don't work so hard, your body is important, come and taste the bird's nest I made." ”
"Mother, how many times have you said that this kind of thing should be done by the servants in the future. The boy took the small bowl containing the bird's nest and smiled a little helplessly.
"There are some things that can only be conveyed by doing it yourself. The lady looked at the young man with doting eyes, and was satisfied when she saw the latter eat the bird's nest in a big gulp, but she couldn't help but nag when she cleaned up the dishes.
"By the way, you are not young anymore, your brother has become a father at this age, I know that you are not very satisfied with the eldest ladies you found before, and feel that their family background is not very helpful to you, so this time I asked someone to find Viscount Hutton, his youngest daughter just turned sixteen last month, and the Viscount has recently begun to consider her marriage, but it is a very individual child, and he seems to be a supporter of free love when he was in school before, so he also made an agreement with his father, if she wants her to agree to this marriage, she must let her meet with the object of the engagement first, and it happens that there is a small tea party on Viscount Hutton's side tomorrow morning, will you go and meet that young lady?"
"Okay, mother, you bother. ?? ? One Reading Book ???· y?K?A?NSHU.COM," CAESAR NODDED.
The noble lady reached out and touched his head, "Good boy, you also suffered some time ago, others may not know what kind of person you are, but I watched you grow up since childhood, and I know you best, you have always been so honest and kind, how could you do such a terrible thing, but fortunately, in the end, the court finally returned your innocence, I heard that the head of the family also sent someone to help, and you must thank him well at the next family gathering." The lady shed tears as she spoke.
"Of course, I haven't come back safely, so my mother shouldn't worry about me anymore. The young man smiled and said, "It's not too early, mother, you should rest early." ”
"Hmm. The lady got up, took two steps and turned back, "Well, I almost forgot, I asked a tailor to make you a dress last week, and you will remember to wear it when you go to the tea party tomorrow." ”
"Okay, no problem, mother. Caesar said patiently.
It wasn't until the noble lady closed the door that the smile on the young man's face gradually disappeared, how could he forget this kindness, the eyes of the two distant uncles looking at him in the courtroom, as if they were appreciating the destruction of a defective product, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would naturally thank that group of people.
The young master of the Andre family did not immerse himself in hatred for too long, and then he remembered the meeting in the afternoon, thinking of the girl's beautiful face, well-proportioned and healthy figure and that indescribable unique temperament, he felt a trace of regret, he still had some thoughts about Luo Luo before, but the girl's current situation seemed to be very complicated, and he knew that this muddy water was not something he could wade into.
What worries him even more is the swordsman next to the girl, and Caesar finds that he can't see through that guy at all.
When the two met for the first time, the other party seemed very inconspicuous, and afterwards recalled that Caesar didn't even have any impression, just like an ordinary student who could be seen everywhere on campus, until he hit the wall for the first time in the bakery, the young master of the Andrea family began to notice the other's abnormality, and then the freshman ball made Caesar lose face, and the young master of the Andrei family completely felt the horror of the other party in the freshman competition, that guy actually made him betray his relatives with only a few words, and when he returned to the ground, he was directly arrested by the guards, and almost failed to escape this catastrophe。
It can be said that the reason why Caesar is today is all due to the other party, but what makes the young master of the Andre family feel the most uneasy is the attitude of the other party, that guy doesn't seem to have paid much attention to him from beginning to end, as if he has encountered a fly, and only when he hears the buzzing sound will he reach out to catch it.
And it was this casual attitude that made the young master of the Andre family feel a chill, he heard the threat from Rob's words this afternoon, so he didn't sleep well that night, the staff was the easiest place for him to reach at the head of the bed, and he secretly opened the two defensive magic arrays in the room, but nothing happened until the next morning.
Just when Caesar thought he was finally safe, he heard a knock at the door from downstairs.
The young master of the Andre family frowned, it was just dawn now, and most people had not yet gotten up, and it was undoubtedly very rude to choose to visit at such a time, but he still got up, put on a piece of clothing and walked downstairs, and at this time the maid Bailey also opened the door.
The next moment, Caesar only felt a huge force suddenly pressed on his body, and couldn't help but kneel down, and at the same time the hand holding the staff also fell to the ground, all this happened too fast, Caesar thought that there was a bad man in the house, but when he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, he raised his head and saw two familiar faces.
The people who came turned out to be the two uncles who had been listening on behalf of Andre's family in court before, and in addition to that, they also had another identity, which was responsible for enforcing family law for Andre's family.
The one who was a little fatter sighed and said, "Dear nephew, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, the average young person in the family will never see us once in their lives, but you can't help but be too naughty, it's only been less than a week since the last incident, do you miss us so much?"
Caesar's eyes widened and he looked horrified, "You...... Why are you here?"
"Don't you know the good things you've done?" said the other older uncle, as he threw a ball of paper in his hand in front of Caesar, "Let's try to explain this." ”
Caesar's pupils contracted sharply, and he saw his own handwriting on it, which was the note he had tied to the crow's leg last night, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, because the note was encrypted, and the letters had to be combined with each other to get the true meaning.
"Don't take any chances, do you know why we haven't come to you until now?" The slightly fatter uncle took out a beautifully shaped dagger from his waist, squatted down, looked at the direction, and aimed the pointed end at the young man's heart. In fact, we have been wondering how you escaped the trial, the little girl named Shirley changed her testimony at a critical time, at first we thought like most people that it was because she still loved you in her heart, if that is the case, then we also admit it, because if you reverse the outcome of the trial in this way, it is also your ability, we can only applaud on the sidelines, but it turns out that we seem to overestimate you. ”
"Betrayal of the family, tsk, Guzmán, we haven't had this kind of thing in decades. ”
"Hamm, what are you waiting for. Guzmán frowned.
"Alas, you guy really don't have any mood at all, how many times have I said it, at such times you have to leave some time for this poor child to review his hasty life, at least to reminisce about his first love or something. Hamm smiled at the boy, "Unfortunately, there is no trial left this time, so there is no chance to give you another beautiful reversal, but I do have a personal piece of advice for you, if you are still born in our family in the next life, remember not to mix with the temple guys again." ”
With that, Hamm stabbed the dagger in his hand into the boy's chest.
The last image in Caesar's pupils is of Hamm pulling out his dagger and looking at him with Guzmán, as if admiring the destruction of a defective object.
