Surprisingly, in the afternoon of this day, the original clear sky was suddenly occupied by clouds, and thunder flashed from time to time in the black and oppressive dark clouds, and a heavy rain could come at any time.

This is good news for the people of the imperial capital, after a period of hot weather, they already miss the rain a little, a heavy rain may bring much-needed coolness to the hot imperial capital.

In the rumbling thunder, a downpour finally poured down as people expected, and the raindrops the size of beans crashed into the streets and houses, making a sound that was not crisp and beautiful, but a little like a bullet. A heavy rain can certainly dispel the heat of the imperial capital, but it can't get rid of the dangerous aura that is now pressing the empire.

Baron Deniz hurried down the stairs to the door, and as soon as he reached the porch, he saw Sophia, drenched in the rain, standing in front of the door.

He was taken aback, Sophia in front of him lowered her head, and her whole person exuded a gloomy aura. Baron Deniz couldn't help but be a little reluctant, because he grew up watching from a young age, so the old baron was too familiar with Sophia's child, and it was precisely because he was too familiar that he felt scared at this time, yes, scared, the current Sophia didn't look like Sophia at all, and even Swain didn't make Baron Deniz feel scared like this,

"Miss, this is ...... Is something wrong?" although he subconsciously felt fear, Baron Deniz had served the Jericho family for so many years, and he had long been accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, and he would not abandon his duties because of such a small matter. He slowly stepped forward and asked tentatively.

"Where's my brother?" Sophia bowed her head, she had no intention of looking up at Baron Deniz, nor was she going to move, so she stood straight in the doorway.

Baron Deniz swallowed, the question he wanted to avoid the most. At the moment, Swain is still detained in the Ministry of the Interior, and he has also clearly instructed Baron Deniz not to tell Sophia about him, but Baron Deniz never expected that Sophia would come back at this time - it is still early before Friday, he can't tell Sophia about Swain being arrested by the Ministry of the Interior!

"Your Excellency's words...... Now I'm out for something. ”

"Where did my brother go?"

The corners of Baron Deniz's mouth twitched, it seemed that Sophia would not be so easy to fool around today. "Your Excellency the Earl has not been informed, and it is likely that you will be back very late...... Miss, doesn't it matter from school, your clothes are all wet, so let's go take a hot shower first. ”

"It's okay at school......" Although Baron Deniz tried to change the subject, Sophia was completely unmoved. "Now I want to see my brother, no matter what, I want to see him. ”

Baron Deniz was silent, he knew that Sophia was usually a gentle girl, and she was almost obedient to Swain, but once she became stubborn, then only Sven could make her change her mind.

"Yes, I see, I'll try to go to His Excellency the Earl, and I ask you to wait here for a while. Baron Deniz turned his head and said to the maids who did not dare to come forward behind him, "Go and ask Miss to bathe, don't let Miss catch a cold, do you hear." ”

"Yes, yes. Shouted by Baron Deniz, the maids reluctantly walked up to Sophia and helped her to the bathroom. Sophia didn't insist this time, let the maids lead her, and left the porch.

After Sophia left, Baron Deniz sighed, although Sophia was temporarily relieved, but this matter was not over, he could see that if Swain was not recovered, Sophia would never give up and go back to school obediently.

"Prepare the car, go to the Ministry of the Interior. The old baron took his hat from the coat rack at the door, put it on, and instructed the servant as he walked towards the door.

The valet held up an umbrella for Baron Deniz and accompanied him into the rain. "So what should the young lady do?"

This time, Swain brought to the imperial capital were all loyal retainers who had served the Jericho family for generations, so even if it was just a male servant, he was quite assertive, not like those servants in between.

"Don't tell Miss about His Excellency the Earl, and while Miss is taking a bath, turn down the clock in the room a little and delay as much as possible. Baron Deniz said as he boarded the carriage, "Also, send someone to the school to ask and see what is going on, Miss suddenly ran back like this, there must be some reason, find out!"

"Yes. The manservant nodded, and slowly retreated, watching the carriage leave.

————————————————

Swin stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

Although he inherited Jericho's magic path because of his magical qualifications, in fact, Sven's talent is not good, and his magic perception is naturally weak, which has long been seen by magicians like Artemis and Young. However, for some reason, Sven felt something faintly today, and a long-lost throbbing appeared in his heart, and even Sven himself couldn't tell whether this was a premonition in the dark or an abnormal physical reaction.

"Even though it's raining, it's still so hot, it's a terrible place. ”

Thresy walked in without knocking on the door, he had been Swain's jailer all this time, but Beria still saved Swain a little face, and Thresy didn't embarrass Swain too much, but would come to talk to Swain from time to time.

"I don't feel the heat at all. Swain shook his head, still looking out the window, not looking back at Thressi.

Thresy smiled, and as his footsteps moved, there was another clanging sound beneath his heavy clothes. "Count Jericho, may I ask you a question?"

"Say it. ”

"What's the best music in life?"

Sven didn't answer immediately, he stood silently in front of the window for a moment before turning around.

"It's silence. ”

"Can silence be considered a form of music?"

Serecy's mouth was cracked, and her eyes, hidden under her wide-brimmed hat, shone horribly. In his eyes, there was a twisted and terrifying joy, and no one knew why he was laughing, not even Swain, who was standing in front of him, could not hear the whispering from midnight.

"Only when there is silence can the music not be drowned out by the noise, and only when there is silence can the singing from the deepest part of life be heard. ”

Although Thresi's smile was terrifying, no matter how terrifying and hideous her face was, it couldn't touch Sven's heart in the slightest.

"Ha, haha, ha......" Thresy laughed maniacally, laughing so much that she bent over, laughing so much that tears flowed out, "Interesting, worthy of being the grandson of Count Winston, his speaking level is not ordinary!"

After laughing for a while, he wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and the laughter gradually became quieter. "I don't have such a philosophical answer as yours, for the most beautiful music in my life is the sweet and tragic tone, ah—the sweet and tragic tone!"

Seresi's hoarse voice, like an opera singer singing an aria, dragged out the tune and pronounced a creepy sentence with a thousand twists and turns.

"Really?" Although Thressi's answer was very strange, Sven didn't care, he walked to the desk and sat down, calmly looking at a person who was intoxicated by Thressi, "You didn't come here today just to talk to me about this, right?"

"Of course. "Théresy stood with her arms outstretched and erect in front of her chest like a door, "Do you know what I used to do?"

Swain looked at Thressi silently, not at all in reply. Seeing that Swain was silent, Thresy didn't plan to sell Guan Zi anymore, and answered directly: "That's right, it's a jailer, and now I'm back to my old job, hum." And in my life as a jailer, I have learned one thing, nothing, nothing can bring pain and pleasure more than torture!"

Thressi's words were contradictory, but Swain understood what he meant. The afflicted suffers, but the afflicted rejoices.

"But now, it's hard for me to enjoy this pleasure anymore, and sometimes it's a shame to think about it. As he spoke, Thresy sighed and shook his head, as if he genuinely regretted it, "Do you know why I'm saying this to you?"

"I'm going to change rooms, am I?" Swain looked at Seresi coldly, for a person from the Ministry of the Interior, Thressi did talk a little more at times.

"Now that you've guessed it...... Seresi lowered her hand and made a gesture of please, "Allow me to show you the way." ”

Swain stood up, and Thresy was right in front of him, leaning sideways to guide him, like a court jester who was tasked with flattering kings. As he reached the door, Swain stopped and glanced back at the pouring rain outside the window, and the palpitations intensified, and Sven didn't know what was waiting for him next.

Following Théresi, Swain shuttled through the complex and closed corridors of the Ministry of the Interior, even if he had a good sense of direction, after rounding several circles, Sven couldn't tell where he was, after all, there were only a few windows in this building, and the fully enclosed corridors made Sven unable to see the outside scene, and there was nothing to use as a reference.

Finally, Thresy and Swain stopped in front of an iron door with a small window.

"Please. Thresy pushed the door open and welcomed Swain in.

The room was empty, with nothing but a chair, no imaginary torture instruments, no vicious jailers, no lights, and no windows. Swain walked in slowly, he was not afraid of the darkness, nor of what Thressi would do, on the contrary, he was now a little expectant, looking forward to what Beria was going to do with him.

As soon as Sven walked into the room, Thressi closed the door, and the room was suddenly left with nothing but darkness, not even a glimmer of light. If it were an ordinary person, the visual closure brought by the darkness alone was enough to make people have a mental breakdown, but for Swain, being in such an environment was like a fish returning to the sea, which made Swain feel a lot more comfortable.

"Interesting, since you have come up with such a hospitality, then let me enjoy it, the most beautiful music in my life. ”

——————————————

After Thresy reported all the prepared news, Beria walked to the interrogation room where Swain was temporarily held, originally he was not going to do it in such a hurry, but unfortunately all the changes were too sudden, first the emperor died suddenly, and the original plan was not implemented, and now Alexander did not know who to listen to, and suddenly wanted to release Swain himself, and there was a faint accusation in his tone that he arbitrarily arrested the direct vassals of the royal family. Now Beria can see that the matter has reached an urgent time, if he does not do it, then he will lose not only the possibility of the throne, but even his position and even his life.

He walked briskly, and Manfred, who had just arrived at the Home Office, followed closely behind him. Earl Hecate probably never imagined that his subordinates and his superiors would join forces to prepare such a trap for him, and he would be fooled obediently.

"Are you sure there is no problem?" When he was about to reach his destination, Beria stopped and asked Manfred, even at this time, Beria was still a little suspicious of Manfred, after all, the facts that Manfred showed him were too beyond ordinary people's understanding, even Beria couldn't accept them all so quickly for a while.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Manfred bent down respectfully, like the most dedicated deacon, with meticulous etiquette, "Everything is under control, and even Count Jericho can't escape." ”
