Swain didn't continue to tell Atmisto that what she needed to know, Sven had already told her, and what she didn't need to know, Swain wouldn't give her a chance to ask.

Walking back to his study, Swain locked the door, and he had to be extremely careful without magical perception.

Sitting down at his desk, Swain pulled out a blank piece of paper from the desk and placed his palm on it. A little blue light appeared on the white paper, this is the benefit of magic props, even if there is no magic, but as long as you know how to use it, you can also play the role of props, so whether it is the current Swain or the former Baron Deniz, you can use these convenient props.

"Thesa Thother," Swain said in a cold tone toward the void, "report. ”

There was still silence in the dark blue magic array for the time being, and Thessathso did not respond immediately.

Sven frowned and said again, "Report, Thesthother." ”

There was a murmur in the magic circle, and it was a long time before Sethersso's voice came from within.

"Yes, Director. His breath was short, and his voice was a little embarrassed, as if he had just made a long run, "What do you command?"

"Investigate the neighborhood near Apu Avenue where Manfred was seen, and investigate the magic fluctuations inside. Swain's tone was stern and unquestionable, just as he had ordered Thesthersso to find Young in three days, "premised on the possibility that Manfred would be killed there." ”

"What!" Sesarthurso couldn't help but exclaim, and there seemed to be a panic on the other side of the magic array, "You—you mean that Manfred is dead?"

"It's very likely, put down what you're doing and immediately investigate it. ”

"But......" Cesarthother's voice hesitated, "what about the mission to find Yang?"

"Stop, don't need to go to him now. Sven said without hesitation, "Also, come here once tomorrow." Don't worry about Artmis, this matter has nothing to do with her. ”

"Yes......" Cesarthurso hesitated, but agreed, "but can you tell your subordinates what is going on?" ”

"You have some technicians to identify the ballistics of firearms, and I need to know who they have recently traded with and what they are. ”

There was silence on the other end of the magic circle for a few moments, and it was not difficult for Sven to imagine what the look on Cesarthother's face would be on his face now.

"Director, with all due respect, there are no experts in the identification of guns and ammunition in the Thirteenth Section, and in the past this aspect of affairs was handled by the Ministry of the Interior. Of course, I can find it if you ask for it, but I hope you can give me a little more time. And Hobarton's transaction records...... Director, we're the Thirteenth Lesson, not Beria's Ministry of the Interior—"

Swain's face was dark, and although the two ends of the magic circle could not see each other, from Sven's silence, Thesthotheror could feel a cold aura.

"Cesarthersso. ”

"Yes, Director. Thesthother's voice trembled slightly.

"Execute the command. ”

"But, the Director ......"

"I don't like to repeat what has been said. Swain's voice reverted to its usual indifference, without the warmth he had for Caterina just now, "What did I say to you last time?"

Cethurso was silent for a moment, then finally gave in to Swain. "Yes, Director, I'll do my best. ”

"Do your best?" Swain's gaze turned to the pile of papers on the table, "Do you know what I admire most about you, Mr. Wueling?"

Cesarthurso did not answer.

"You are like a sponge that absorbs water, and there is an endless amount of talent and ability in it, and as long as there is a backlog, the energy will continue to pour out. Swain's tone was indifferent, which made Cethotherso always have a low premonition, "Even if it looks shriveled, as long as you squeeze and pat hard, you can always make new achievements." See what I mean, Mr. Wueleling?"

There was a sound of swallowing saliva from the other end of the magic circle. "Yes, Director. ”

"See you tomorrow, then. Sven waved his hand, and the brilliance of the magic circle dimmed again.

"Teach your subordinates to keep beating, make them afraid, make them afraid, make them tremble when they hear your name. Sven pushed away his chair and slowly stood up, "It's useless to be gracious, because people are born ungrateful, and betrayal is human nature, you just don't understand this, so you will fall into my hands and let me play with it." ”

"My dear Highness Karin. ”

————————————

The feeling of soaking in the bathtub and enjoying a warm bath is so comfortable.

Although it's summer, you can't enjoy the experience of a hot bath in winter, but soaking in warm water on a summer night and letting the warm water wash away the fatigue of the day is also very refreshing, especially after so much of today's experience, Katerina really needs to relax.

"Ahh ”

The water vapor was filled, and a large amount of mist steamed up, causing fine beads of sweat to emerge on Katarina's exposed skin.

"It's even better if it's winter, it's such a big bath that people don't want to leave. ”

Although she was reluctant to give up, she would be sweaty from the heat if she washed it again, so Caterina had to walk out of the bath and wipe her body behind the screen.

Caterina looked in the mirror, admiring her body, and from time to time she twisted around like a ballet, showing off her beautiful girlish posture to the fullest.

"There's something wrong with this size?" Finally, her gaze lowered, "Why wouldn't Swain like it, isn't it bad? But don't men like big ones?"

Unable to understand Swain's thoughts, Caterina sighed, and now she began to fantasize about what would have happened if Swain hadn't stopped.

Thinking about it, Katerina's face turned red.

"Really, it's too hot in this bathroom. She muttered duplicitously, and pretended to fan her face with her hand, "Hurry up and get out, it's not too early." ”

She picked up her clothes from the basket, and when she came, of course, the eldest princess did not think of spending the night at Karin Castle, and did not bring any change of clothes, and Artemis did not think of this either, she had been troubled by the same problem while bathing.

In the end, she borrowed a piece of Sophia's clothes from Swain to make do with it, and in the same way, she put Sophia's pajamas in Princess Celestia's basket.

"Well, my chest is so tight—" Caterina tried hard to put on the pink silk pajamas, but the size was wrong, and her chest was all tight, "It's just, it's like a tight corset, I'm going to be out of breath!"

Caterina reluctantly put on the ill-fitting pajamas and walked out of the bathroom, where Artemis had arranged for the maid to lead the way for Princess Celestia.

The maid led the princess through a long walk, and because it was late at night, the lights were already out in the castle, so Caterina had to go under the dim light of the oil lamp.

"Wait!" Looking at the maid's route, the eldest princess suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Where is this going?"

"Go to the room you slept in tonight. The maid replied respectfully.

"But......" Caterina looked at the dark corridor, and couldn't help but hesitate, although the light was dim, she was too familiar with Karin Castle, after all, before it was temporarily lent to Swain, this was the royal palace, "This, isn't this the way to Swain's room?"

"Yes. The maid's voice was still respectful, "Miss Artemis has commanded that you may sleep in the Earl's room to-night, as she said. ”

"That'...... Where does Swain sleep?" Caterina was inexplicably nervous, as if the question had a lot to do with it.

"This ......," the maid hesitated, "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?" Caterina raised an eyebrow and stared at the maid, "Really?"

Being stared at like this by the eldest princess, the maid looked nervous, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look into Katarina's eyes. "I—I really don't know, it's all Miss Artmis's orders. ”

Caterina stared at the maid closely, clearly suspicious of the other man's words. "Are you the maid of the Jericho family, or the maid of the Hecate family?" she asked, in hot pursuit, "or, an employee of the Atmisian administration?"

"I—I'm the maid of the Jericho family......" The maid replied hesitantly, frightened by the tone of the Celestial Princess.

"Did Swain mean that?" asked Caterina immediately.

"Huh?" the maid was stunned, but did not react immediately.

"Forget it, you go down. Caterina waved her hand to signal the maid to step away, and when asked, she was almost clear, "I know where Swain's room is, anyway, so I don't need to bother you." ”

"Yes......" The maid hesitated for a moment, and finally retreated honestly.

Caterina walked all the way to Swain's door, knocked on it, and pushed it open without waiting for a response from inside.

Sven was sitting at his desk in the room, raising his hand to the book in front of him that was hovering a meter from the table.

The book shook a few times, then fell.

"Still no. Sven sighed, but his expressionless face showed no frustration, "The mana is so thin and the recovery is too slow, and even such basic manipulation of maneuvering is not possible." ”

Swain put the books in order, then turned to look at Caterina in the doorway. "Is there anything you have to do with your arrival at such a late hour, Your Highness?"

Princess Celestia looked at Swain with her head held high, her face unkind. "Didn't you tell me to come, Lord Count?"

"I asked you to come?" Sven frowned, "Who told you?"

"The maid of your house. Caterina closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Didn't you ask me to come to your room to sleep?"

"It was my room with Sophia. Swain corrected solemnly.

Katerina's face changed.

"Oh—is it?" she said in a deliberately raised voice, in a tone of pretended surprise, "you and your sister's room, may I ask what you are doing here, is it like today, to help you with your needs when you feel unwell?"

Sven's face suddenly turned ugly. "Please pay attention to your words, I don't think Sophia has provoked you. ”

Caterina pouted, tears lingering in her eyes.

"She's your sister, why do you keep your eyes on her, and don't look at me a few more times, and look at me like a woman?" she roared loudly, so loudly that everyone outside must have heard it, "In that case, I'd rather you do it today......"

Swain turned his head, avoiding Katerina's smuffled look. "I'm sorry, but I've already made my choice. ”

Caterina stared at Swain faintly, and that kind of look made Swain feel a little uncomfortable.

"But you can choose more than one, right?"

Swain was stunned, then turned his head back and looked at Caterina in surprise.

"Don't forget what you said to me tonight," Caterina rolled over and lay down on the bed, pulling the silk blanket over her body, which was wearing only a light pajamas, "Don't underestimate the obsession of women, for the sake of what I pursue, I will not care about anything." ”

Swain sighed and looked out the window, tonight's moonlight had been completely obscured by the night.
