Sven stared at the note in his hand, frowning tightly. From this note, he could vaguely smell the smell of magic. It was supposed to be a magic item, the same type of paper he had used to communicate with Sinjid and Thesthersor.

Just now he had used all his magic power to heal Baron Deniz, and now the magic in Sven's body was extremely empty, and if he wanted to use his magic again, then he could only overdraw his own body.

Sven's face instantly turned very pale, but the note in his hand glowed with a strange blue light, and under the only line of text, a few new paragraphs slowly appeared.

"First of all, I would like to tell you the not-so-good news that this venerable Lady Jane has been cursed by me, and with your current magic, you should not be able to break this curse. ”

"The Hecate family is currently under your control, but Miss Artemis is too negative to have a family legacy, so please don't put your hopes in her. ”

"How much is this lady worth to you, and how much are you willing to pay for her? If I were to ask you to exchange your life for this lady's, you would probably refuse it outright, and ignore her painful death, wouldn't you? In any case, this lady is the biological mother of your favorite sister, and she is both your stepmother and your future mother-in-law, and you don't want to see her die in that position, right?"

"If you don't want her dead, then do as I ask. ”

"Carsten Noe Niebuhr, you should remember this respected historian, and with your present power, it would have been easy to get his life done, so the first thing I would like you to do is to kill this Mr. Niebuhr, and find a document in his house, and destroy it once and for all. As for what the file is, you'll understand it when you find it. ”

"Oh, by the way, it's rude not to introduce myself, but you already know who I am, right? ”

Swain clutched the paper in his palm, anger almost spurting out of his eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly brushed his hair back with his hands on his sideburns.

Swain himself found it increasingly difficult to control his emotions now, as if something was popping out of his heart.

"Thresy Daxda......" Swain crumpled the letter and threw it into his pocket, "whatever your purpose is, I will let you know what is absolutely not to do!"

After calming down and tidying up his appearance, Swain set his eyes on Lady Jane, who had been unconscious.

He frowned, though Swin had not met the lady a few times, but as Thresy had said, he absolutely did not want to see Lady Jane die.

Sven gently shook Lady Jane awake.

When she woke up from her nightmare, Madame Jane only felt that her head was dizzy and her head couldn't function at all, let alone thinking, she was almost forgetting her instincts now.

"I'm ......" she looked at Swain as she untied her, and it took a while for her to recognize Sven's face.

"Oh, it's you!" Seeing Swain, Mrs. Jane showed a very bright smile, and her tone was so light that it seemed a little abnormal—at this time, the blood stains on Sven's clothes had not yet dried, "When did you come here, why didn't Ramrem come to inform me?"

She lifted her still wistful eyes and looked behind Sven.

"Where's Sophia, is she coming?" Lady Jane's eyes were expectant, and she didn't realize her situation until this moment.

"She didn't come. Swain untied the ropes that bound Lady Jane, and spoke in a very calm tone.

"That's right......," Madame Jane's voice sounded a little disappointed, "Oh, by the way, it's rare for you to come, and you have to be entertained!"

Madame Jane tried to stand up, but as soon as she straightened her legs, she felt a pang of weakness and sat down again.

Swain hurriedly hugged her.

"I'm ......" At this time, she finally noticed that something was wrong, "Eh, strange, how can I ...... Don't seem to have the strength?"

"You're tired. Swain helped Mrs. Jane to sit in her chair, "Get some rest, I'll let Ramrem come and take care of you." ”

"Oh, that's a ...... Instead of worrying about me, it's no wonder Ramrem keeps saying that I always cause trouble for people. Madame Jane put her hand on her cheek, and although there was apology in her faint smile, the innocent feeling still had more of an ingredient.

"You don't have to say that," Swain straightened up, his face expressionless, and even his eyes a little evasive, "you are ...... anyway My mother. ”

Madame Jane was stunned for a moment, and then her smile bloomed even brighter.

"You say that...... I'm so happy......" She wiped the corners of her eyes, where there seemed to be a sparkle.

Swain gave Mrs. Jane a deep look, then bowed, and after saying "out of company," he walked out.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help it, and turned to look at the lady again. And seeing the lady still smiling to herself, intoxicated with her own thoughts, the complicated look in his eyes became even thicker.

Finally, he walked briskly out of the room.

Ramrem was waiting for him in the outer hallway.

"Take care of Madame. Swain looked at Ramrem's hand, which was stained with Baron Deniz's blood, as was the clothes on his body, "Something is not quite right about her now, she doesn't react at all to things that don't make sense, as if she doesn't know about Ernest." ”

"She was originally a somewhat naïve and somewhat stupid person. Ramrem sighed, "But no matter how naïve people are, they can't go so far." ”

"Look at her, it's not safe here, and Thresy easily sneaks in and curses Madame, and you don't even notice it. ”

"Curse!" Ramrem exclaimed in small exclamation, his body trembling a little, "this...... When did this happen?"

"Apparently just now. Sven looked at Ramrem coldly, "What about Victoria?"

"I carried her back to her room......"

"Immediately take Madame to the palace of Tiamat, where there is at least thirteen divisions of defense. Sven commanded in a non-critical tone, and walked briskly to the other side of the hallway, "The rest of the family is disbanded, and those people may not be reliable. ”

Ramrem sighed and nodded.

Swain hurried to Victoria's room, who was lying in bed and hadn't woken up from her coma.

He didn't mean to procrastinate, he just stepped forward and picked up Victoria, and then walked outside.

Obviously, Sven's movements were more than a little rude than Ramrem's, and the actions that were not gentle and delicate directly woke Victoria up.

Ramrem's moment was not light, and although Victoria slowly woke up, her consciousness was still a little confused.

However, compared to Lady Jane, Victoria at least understood the current situation after getting used to it.

"Ahh

Swain ignored the sister's intentions and walked straight outside.

As she passed the corridor on the second floor, Victoria saw the puddle of blood on the ground, and then she remembered the suicide of Baron Deniz.

"Let go of me!" Victoria struggled even harder, and this time she was no longer struggling because of shyness, it was completely out of anger at Swain, "Let me go, you have nothing to do with me, I don't allow you to hold me like this." ”

"Shut up. Swain didn't turn his head to look at Victoria, just kept walking.

Victoria was beating Swain desperately, it was not a lover's flirtation, Victoria simply and decisively threw her fist at Swain's head, especially the weak parts such as the eyes and nose - Victoria's naughtiness outside in the past few years was not completely fruitless.

And Sven didn't dodge, even if his eye sockets were bruised, he didn't seem to feel pain, and just walked out.

Seeing that Swain didn't react, Victoria simply opened her mouth and bit Swain's ear, which was her last resort, and Victoria used all her strength when she got her mouth down, and she bit Swain's ear pinna and bled in one fell swoop.

But Swain didn't react, letting the blood drip and stain his clothes even redder.

With this in his arms, he walked out of the house and towards the carriage parked outside.

A few of the young soldiers around them couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene, but when they remembered the commander's instructions, they still held back.

Swain threw Victoria directly into the carriage, and Ramrem had already taken Mrs. Jane into the carriage.

He winked at the coachman.

"Back to Tiamat Palace. ”

Mercer Frey, who was driving the car, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Swain suspiciously.

"What about you, Your Excellency?"

Swain only glanced at him, but did not speak, and Mercer Frey, realizing that he had asked a superfluous question, immediately shut up, waved his horsewhip and prepared to hurry.

Swain watched as the wagon and the group of soldiers departed.

"Niebuhr......" Swain looked in the other direction of Browning, "why would Thresy want Niebuhr's life?" and, judging from his tone and the way this guy has always been, this should not be his ultimate goal, and he will definitely ask for more...... Or was it just a cover-up? His request was so subtle that it was as if he were deliberately telling me that something was suspicious. ”

Swain muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting out into every corner of the city.

A sudden shot of stones interrupted his thoughts.

Although the timing of the sneak attacker was good, that kind of child's trick was simply not going to hit Swain.

As soon as the stone flew to his side, Sven reached out and caught it firmly.

He turned his head to look, and the attacker hurriedly turned the corner and took cover.

However, even for a moment, it was enough for Sven to see the man's back clearly.

"A little ghost?"

Sven frowned, and then his attention was drawn to the voice on the other side.

The carriage, which had not yet gone far, suddenly stopped, and the soldiers guarding the vicinity of the carriage were being stoned by a group of young men, old and young.

Because the opponent was a child, the soldiers did not shoot, but being smashed like this obviously angered them, and several grumpy soldiers tried to catch the children, but the little ghosts were very slippery and familiar with the environment, and no matter how the soldiers chased them, they would slip out of their palms.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a small man suddenly climbed into the carriage and opened the door.

"Big sister!" he held out his hand to Victoria in the car, "We're here to help you!"

"Harry?" Victoria was stunned for a moment, looking at the "little brother" in front of her in disbelief, "How could you ......"

"Jerry told us!" said the young man named Harry, in a hurried tone, "and when he saw a soldier coming to your house, he called everyone quickly...... We all believe that you and Mr. Ernest will not be traitors, so we have come to your rescue. ”

Victoria couldn't help but be a little moved, and the tears in the corners of her eyes flowed down uncontrollably. But when she saw the indifferent gaze of Ramrem beside her, her head immediately reacted.

"Don't mess around, they all have guns in their hands! Run, I'm fine." ”

"How can it be okay!" Harry held out his hand to Victoria, "That one named Swain must be trying to harm you!

"Harry......" The sourness in Victoria's nasal cavity made her unable to speak, "you all ......"

She stopped paying attention to Ramrem's eyes and tried to grab Harry's hand.

"Bang"

Victoria ultimately failed to hold Harry's hand.

With disbelief in his eyes, the boy fell out of the carriage.

"Harry—"

Victoria cried out in tears, desperately throwing herself out of the carriage and holding the boy who was several years younger than her.

"No, oh no—how can it be...... How can this be ......?"

She wailed, in pain, and took out her deepest hatred on Swain as she approached.

"He's still a child! Your heart doesn't beat anymore!"

"Once upon a time...... Swain raised his pistol and held it against Harry's head.

"Not anymore. ”
