Swain walked out of Caterina's bedroom and immediately saw Charlotte standing in the doorway. His gaze stayed on Charlotte for a few seconds, then he looked away and continued downstairs.

"You're the worst person. Charlotte stood still and said, "I have never seen anyone like you, cunning and shameless. Big sister is also a fool, how would she believe someone like you......"

"Don't speak in an adult voice. Swain stopped and stood back to back with Charlotte, "You're only eight years old, aren't you? ”

"You let me know how cruel this world is!" Charlotte gritted her teeth, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "If you continue to be naïve, then how am I going to kill you?"

"You're going to have this opportunity. Swain took a step, "If you can figure out how to kill me then......"

The seeds planted are growing at an alarming rate, and perhaps one day, the flower of revenge, watered with water called "hatred", will be extraordinarily gorgeous.

"But now is not the time. Sven whispered softly, "At least, not now." ”

Back on the first floor, Swain prepares to inform the Munster army outside the castle that Caterina has promised to return to Dweller, and that it is time for Swain to leave.

Unexpectedly, though, he saw Atmiss at the top of the staircase.

After blocking Yang's attack, Artemis fell asleep for a while due to the exhaustion of her mana, and even now that she woke up, her complexion did not look very good, her face was rather pale, and she had completely lost her usual vitality.

She probably waited for Swain here on purpose, and after seeing Swain, Artmis's expression was complicated, but in the end she lowered her head and greeted Swain.

"Okay, could you please talk about it?"

Atmiss took the initiative to invite Swain, and this was the first time, although the girl was of little use to Swain now, but after thinking about it, Swain accepted her invitation.

When the two of them reached the parlor on the first floor, Atmister closed the door and ordered the servants not to come and serve.

"Is there anything wrong, Miss Hecate?" Swain sat down on the couch and looked at Artemis calmly. The relationship between them is more complicated, because of the accident in the Metternich family that night, Swain can be said to have formed a grudge with the Hecate family, although he reached an understanding with the Count of Hecate, but with Artmis, the hatred between the two has not been resolved, even because of Manfred's betrayal, Artemis chose to cooperate with Swain, but she has never been waiting to see Swain.

Artemis bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before she said, "This time in the battle of virtue, you ...... You should have defeated Manfred, and if you hadn't killed him, you would have already dealt him a heavy blow, otherwise this battle wouldn't have been so easy to win. ”

Swain looked at Artmis, and although Atropos erased all Franconian existence, including the figure of Manfred Alcator von Nosferatu as a Franconian, Manfred Schneider still existed. Artemis grew up watching Manfred and has a lot of memories of Manfred Schneider, so she won't completely forget Manfred like Baron O'Brien, but she only remembers Manfred Schneider, and as for the memories of Manfred after the Home Office incident, they have also been tampered with by Atropos.

"Luckily won, what, what's the problem?"

"Then, then you ......" may be very unaccustomed to Swain's honorific title, but since Artemis has put on such a low posture, he will naturally endure it to the end, "Have you seen my brother, Yang?"

Is that really for that?, Swain thought to himself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see him in Dewei, and I don't know his whereabouts. ”

This reply made Artmis's heart uneasy, she felt that since Swain had not met Yang, then with Yang's ability, it should be safe to save his life, but if Yang's whereabouts are unknown, it means that Yang is likely to continue to stand with Manfred, and now that the battle situation is so clear, Yang continues to do this, I am afraid that when Alexander comes to power, he will be indispensable in the liquidation list.

"What are your plans for the next step?" Atmiss lowered his head, his voice was very soft, and even a little pleading, completely lacking the feeling of flying and domineering in the past, "Do you want to continue to purge the rebels?"

"No, I will escort Her Royal Highness Caterina back to Deweide first, this rebellion is a great obstacle to the imperial capital, a large number of people have fled, and the residents who remain in Deweide are also suffering from the war, and the royal family needs to stand up and pacify the people. Therefore, I will take the protection of Her Highness Caterina as my first priority, and as for the matter of purging the rebels, I will probably leave it to the War Department. ”

"Yes......" Hearing Swain's answer, Artemis couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "So, can you let me also contribute, this time, Lesson 13 is also responsible, just think of it as me for the guilt of my deceased father." ”

Sven leaned back on the couch and squinted at Artmis. He could roughly guess the young lady's thoughts, and it was true that Artemis was not a lady in every way, but there was only one thing—she was indeed a competent sister in the care of her brother. She asked just now, she wanted to find an opportunity to ask Swain to spare Yang, and now when she heard Swain's answer, maybe she felt that Swain didn't contribute to the purge of the rebels, or maybe she thought that Swain was shirking, always, after not getting the response she wanted, she hoped that she would personally participate, at least one chance, to find Yang first, and then let him go, even if Artemis kept saying that he would kill him when he stopped Yang before.

Women are really duplicitous.

"Miss Hecate—" Swain dragged out his tone, a tone of instruction.

Artemis couldn't help but feel very nervous, she knew that her intentions couldn't be concealed from Swain, but she really had no choice, after recovering Dewei, no matter who it was, she would not let go of these chaotic parties, once Yang was caught, she would definitely die. But she didn't know anyone in the army, and she couldn't directly intervene as her, so she had to come to Sven, who she hated very much, and she couldn't care about face for her brother.

"I admire your care for Brother Ling, but have you figured it out? You are not qualified to do this now, even if it is you, you are also guilty, and the Thirteen Lessons are so deeply involved in this rebellion, even if Count Hecate has sacrificed his life for the Empire, it is difficult to escape the blame. ”

Artemis gritted her teeth, she didn't know this, this time the Hecate family might really have to say goodbye to the position of Thirteen Classes forever.

"I understand, I understand. Atmis, who was sitting on the sofa, writhed nervously, looking a little anxious, "I don't have the qualifications to negotiate terms with you, the Hecate family no longer has any capital to continue to bargain with you, we were once deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, but to this point, it can be regarded as our own fault, who called this part, and still wants to bargain with both sides." ”

As she spoke, she laughed self-deprecatingly, originally she didn't want to end up with the burden of the Hecate family and the Thirteen Lessons, but now, when these things really left her, Artemis felt a deep sadness - not for those lost powers, but because of the decline of the Hecate family, for her father, Count Hecate tried everything to keep these things, and even took his own life, but in the end it was still lost in her hands.

"I can't do this kind of thing, let me be left and right, long sleeves and good at dancing, I really can't do it, just like now, obviously I hate you, but I still put on a smiling face to talk to you. Probably tired of such conversations, Artemis ripped off his disguise and revealed his true face, "I know, you don't think much of me, and we both knew this when we first met. However, this is the only thing, even if it is to throw it away, no matter how much you insult me, I must ask you for help to keep Yang! I can't find anyone else who can help, Her Royal Highness Caterina is too involved in our world, and she is also relying on you to do things now, so I still have to ask her to get your consent, and our Hecate family has almost no contact with other families because of the relationship in charge of the Thirteenth Lesson, even if I ask to go to the door, not to mention that they may not be able to help, they will not be willing to take this risk alone. Therefore, the only thing I can ask for is you, and only you can help me with this. ”

Artemis got up from the couch and suddenly fell to his knees in front of Sven, even slamming his head on the ground.

"Whatever you want me to do, I'm willing, I beg only you, I beg only you...... It doesn't matter if you keep Yang, whether you let him go away or stay incognito, as long as you save his life! You must be able to do it, no, it should be said that the only person who can do it now is you. His Royal Highness Alexander doesn't know much about the affairs of the Thirteen Lessons, and the people in the Ministry of the Interior have all fallen into traitors, and it is impossible for them to deal with this matter, so the only one who has power now, and has a deep connection with the wizarding world, is you, Sven Noe Jericht, as long as you make a move, you will definitely be able to do it!"

Artemis looked up at Swain, her eyes still filled with tears, her forehead flushed, and her expression didn't look fake. Seeing Artmis's appearance, Sven couldn't help but be silent, he had no likes or dislikes for Artmis, and he had always looked at her from the perspective of interests, so whether it was making peace with the Hecate family, pretending to propose marriage, or taking Artemis in before, planning to borrow her identity to understand the Thirteen Lessons, it was all out of interest considerations. However, seeing such Artemis now, Sven's heart couldn't help but feel a little touched.

If it were Sophia, I guess I'd do it too-

The thought had been swirling in Swain's mind for a long time, and he couldn't dissipate it for a long time. According to his original plan, he would never give Yang any way to live, this guy followed Manfred with all his heart, and he was full of hatred for Swain. This kind of hatred is not the same level as Atmis's disgust for Sven, and Young's hatred is aimed at killing Sven, a deep sense of hatred.

Is it really necessary to let go of such a trouble?

From a rational point of view, Sven should not agree to Artmis, and even Artemis can be abandoned, after all, the current Hecate family is useless, and the position of the director of the thirteenth section, if Sven fights for it, it is not impossible to get it, in this case, why keep the trouble of the Hecate family?

However, it would not be easy to dispose of the Hecate family like this, first of all, the eldest princess would have an opinion. The differences between me and her were too great, especially over the way I acted, and she didn't like to accept my approach. Princess Celestia is too kind of a woman to be commensurate with her ambitions, and if I insist on abandoning the Hecate family this time, then I am afraid that Celestia, who has spent some time with Artemis at Karin Castle, will have another quarrel.

What should I do?

Looking at Atmis, who was teary and kneeling down to beg him, Sven hesitated.
