Forty-three, the result that has long been predicted

"Yo, Leon, Balzac, look, I've got Elle back!!"

In the distance, the duke, who was carried by Alicia, couldn't wait to greet his men. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a bright smile that he couldn't suppress and didn't want to suppress, he desperately waved his hand at the two men in the distance, trying to get their attention.

"Gong ...... Lord Duke, why are you here?!" The knight looked in amazement at the duke, who seemed to be a little injured and was carried on his back by Miss Alicia.

"Leon, you're so stupid, do you still need to ask? Of course you sneaked over, as long as you use my secret technique: Sneak Away, there's no place in this world that can't be entered!!"

The knight was silent for a while, he thought that he obviously didn't have any position to say those beautiful things at this moment, he lost, he lost to the mercenary completely, if it weren't for the sudden fire, I am afraid that even his own life would be lost.

Based on this thought, the knight has no shame to face his lord.

After the initial fear, he was once again overwhelmed by a deep sense of loss, and he went to the side to feel sorry for himself.

"Well done, Balzac!"

On the other side, on Alicia's back, Fan greeted the tall mercenary covered in blood.

"The Duke is also very remarkable, he has done such a thing single-handedly, I want to be impressed by you. ”

"Oh, hey, in fact, most of it is due to Ellie, I really didn't do anything great. Fan was a little embarrassed to say, although most of what he said was the truth.

"No, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have chosen the path I'll regret for the rest of my life. The one who awakens me and tells me that there are other paths is you, Fan. ”

The girl who was carrying the mortal on her back said seriously.

"Introduction, this is my Elle, Alicia Bain, the most important person to me!" Van suddenly pressed his head to the girl's cheek.

"Too ...... It's too close!"

"That's Balzac, a super powerful mercenary!"

The girl looked up and observed the tall man.

It was a strong man soaked in blood, with a pungent smell of blood all over his body, and his sharp eyes seemed to swear his strength to the world, but that strength did not make him look terrible, but gave Alicia a feeling of strength and reliability like a thick wall.

"Hello, Mistress Balzac, thank you for your assistance. Because she was carrying Fan, the girl could not salute, but could only nod her head in salute.

"I just did my part. Balzac nodded in response to the girl.

Then Balzac looked at Van's feet.

"No problem. He slapped it hard there.

"It hurts, it hurts me!!" cried out as if he had killed a pig.

"There must also be a limit to the back of a girl. ”

"But it's been a long time since I've seen Elle, I just want to be with her, it would be better if I could be one!" The exposed Fan said willfully: "Hey, Ellie, what's wrong with you?

The next moment, heaven and earth turned upside down.

Van was thrown directly to the ground.

Alicia looked at the childhood friend in front of her with ice-like eyes.

"Fan, have you come to your senses?"

"Enlightenment?" Fan tilted his head.

The next moment, the paper fan appeared in the girl's hand.

"Ai ...... Ellie, this is a rare reunion, let's not use knives and guns, right?"

"It's not a knife, it's not a gun, it's just a paper fan. ”

"Leon, Balzac, help me, I'm in the middle of a dire crisis right now!!"

The knight continued to grow mushrooms in the corner, while the mercenary leader turned around and shouted at the mercenaries who were watching the excitement and told them to run to maintain order.

"You ...... Big Fool !!"

"Smack!!" The crisp voice and familiar feel almost brought the girl to tears.

A feeling of happiness welled up.

It's everyday, yes, after experiencing a nightmare-like encounter, the girl returns to the everyday life she is familiar with, loves, and yearns for.

"Elle is the devil !!"

Even the gesture of the Duke running away crying made the girl unable to move.

Naturally, a smile of happiness almost overflowed on her face.

Balzac, who was on the side, grabbed Leon and dragged him hard.

"See, knight. ”

"That's what you're guarding, and you've managed to keep him, so keep your chest up and cheer for victory!"

"We won!!"

"......" looked at the girl's unhappy smile and unconscious tears, and the knight clenched his fists tightly.

"I ...... I want to be stronger, I want to have the power to protect it all. ”

Looking at such a knight, Balzac touched his smooth chin and smiled heartily.

A dilapidated mansion sits a little further away from the burning castle.

It was the Pol family's mansion, which had fallen into disrepair and had become as eerie as a haunted house.

The grass and trees in the garden had become disorganized, but nothing had changed in the room, and the power of time had not changed much about the mansion except for a thick layer of dust on the furniture.

Thomas Bain gently wiped his fingers across the mirror on the cupboard, leaving a wisp of dust on his hands.

"Father, mother, brother, I'm back......"

As if he didn't want to disturb the silence of the place, he muttered softly.

Thomas was full of emotion, since he ran away from home and returned now, everything has long been lost.

He retrieved the wine glass and red wine from the secret place, cleaned it slightly, and sat down in the hall.

On the table in front of him was a wine glass filled with red liquid, dessert on the other side of the table, and an empty chair across from him, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Then, leaning back in his chair, he meditated silently, as if he had fallen asleep.

The lonely figure and the quiet and dilapidated mansion naturally blended together, indistinguishable from each other.

Quietly, a figure came across from him.

"Thomas, what are you doing here alone? Take a nap?"

The new visitor spoke, and it was a mortal voice.

"Gui'an, Lord Duke, you can really find me. Thomas smiled, "Please take a seat." ”

"Where you're going to be, you can see what you can do. Fan unceremoniously made a butt to the chair, and at the same time looked at the snack in front of him, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, oh, is this for me? Thomas, you know me!"

Saying that, he couldn't wait to eat it.

"......" Thomas was speechless.

"Lord Duke, aren't you afraid that I will poison the cake?"

"Why did you poison me?" Fan raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Thomas, will you harm me?"

"That's it. The fat earl smiled helplessly: "You love to say such ambiguous things every time, and the same is true when you ask me for help in that farce-like ceremony, you have seen through everything at that time, hehe, at first glance it may seem like a child's ignorant joke, but is it really so? Always hiding what you really want to say in the joke will only bother your subordinates......"

"What the hell are you talking about, Thomas, I don't understand. Can you please make it simple?" said Van as he took the time to fight the cake.

"Hahaha, forget it, if you always dwell on this issue, the topic will never progress, let's talk, Lord Duke. Well, let's talk about this test. ”

"Testing?"

"Yes, your father, Sol de Almac, left you the last test. ”

"Your father is the planner, the screenwriter is Serra, and I and the old guys are accomplices, Gilheim...... Hehe, it's a bit pitiful, but they're just sacrifices to the altar to test your abilities. ”

"Whether or not you are qualified to lead the Duchy of Almac, and whether you have the ability to defend it in the midst of upheaval, will determine the future in this test, depending on your answers. ”

"As a result, you have managed to consolidate the principality, which had been shattered by the death of the old duke, gathered all your power in your own hands, and defeated Pol as a victim, further annexing the country and establishing your prestige. ”

"I must admit that you did a great job and qualified perfectly. ”

"I want it too!!" Fan pushed the empty plate towards Thomas.

"......" Thomas smiled bitterly, and honestly added dessert to Fan.

"What do you want to say next? Well, let's talk about some of the clues that appeared in this layout. ”

With the sound of chewing, Thomas sighed, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said faintly: "It may be a little unfair to the Duke of Guilheim who is deeply involved, the moment the plan unfolds, he has lost the opportunity to turn the tables, of course, even this layout is not perfect, and occasionally some clues will be revealed." ”

First of all, the most obvious flaw comes from a quote from Mr. Shadwa. ”

At the engagement ceremony, which had become a farce, Mr. Shadwa had said this when confronted by the Assassins. ”

"You did. ”

It wasn't fatal, but it was enough to make the insiders aware of the conspiracy, and it was a pity that the Duke of Guilheim didn't take advantage of this last opportunity, if he could have stopped it in time...... Hehe, I'm afraid I might be able to exchange for a more decent ending. ”

"Did Shadwa ever say anything like that? I don't have an image. "It doesn't matter.

This little liar with a mouth full of lies...... Thomas looked at Fan, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, you have already bribed the family to help you deliver the news in secret, and that time in the castle, if it wasn't for the public-faced guard who reminded him in time, he would not have been able to go to Ellie's room in time to stop the situation from deteriorating. To this day, he still says that he doesn't know, which is too good at pretending......

He coughed dryly a few times and continued.

"The second point, presumably those old guys in China may be able to see a clue. ”

"I left so simply. ”

"It's not complacent, but it's so unnatural that I, too, who have been called cunning as a fox, have left nothing behind, have nothing to prepare, and have abandoned everything in Almac, and gone to a neighbouring country with no roots as a traitor. ”

"Does Gilheim have any doubts? Yes, but he can't refuse my coming, and he can't turn away Bol's descendants in order to gain Bol's blood. ”

"Naive, that young man has been blinded by Pol's blood, so I have an opportunity, people who are dissatisfied with Gilheim, people who are attached to Pol are not a few in this country, and Gilheim's foundation is still too thin......"

Fan chewed those desserts, as if listening to him, but there seemed to be no listening at all, so that people couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Thomas continued to talk to himself.

"Third. He said, "The old fellows who have retired in a hurry. ”

"Those sanctimonious old bastards are all nothing, especially that sinister old iceberg, without the help of those old bastards, do you think it is possible for Boer's soldiers to infiltrate Almac?

"At the time of the engagement ceremony, the old guys had been watching for a long time, and if the army brought by Gilheim had made a slight move, I am afraid that it would not be possible to wait for the war to follow, and everything would have been over. ”

"Fourth, let's talk about the flaws on Ball's side. ”

"Ed Gilheim's usurpation of the country was done too smoothly, unbelievably well. ”

"That old Gilheim guy has been a duke for more than ten years, and is he really so careless as to have no defense against the danger that is to come?"

"The fire burned so easily that all the opponents disappeared overnight, not only leaving Gilheim's path to the throne unhindered, but also shattering the vitality of the Duchy of Boer, and shaking its foundations. Hehe, that she-fox has really gone too far, and it is easy for people with a heart to see the flaws, if it is such a simple thing to usurp the country, those families with ancient bloodlines are probably already dead, and it is impossible for them to flourish like now. ”

"There are other inconsequential flaws, and it is so unusual that you and Elle fought the castle master in the castle without anyone taking part in the battle, as if the entire castle had already changed hands, and in fact, the castle had been slaughtered by the mighty guard at the moment of the war. ”

"In addition, the change of the new old duke, and the subsequent declaration of war, has taken such a great practice in the country, that Miss Serra, as the leader of the secret agents, has never appeared, which seems too abnormal in any case. ”

At first glance, these clues may seem like just coincidences, and such coincidences may be justified if they happen alone, but it is so unnatural and unnatural to have so many coincidences happening at the same time. How far does it take to calculate to be able to set up such a stage full of coincidences and accidents?"

"Of course, if there was no key person who saw through everything and interspersed it and connected all the conditions, Almac would never have come to this point, and the person responsible for connecting everything together is you, Lord of Almac. ”

Fan looked sluggish.

He didn't seem to understand what Thomas was talking about.

"What you just said is too long, I didn't understand it. He said honestly, "Can you break it down into several paragraphs?" I promise you'll listen carefully this time. ”

"Hehe......" Thomas smiled.

"Well, anyway, I have finally completed the entrustment of that old fellow of Thor, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Thomas, there's one thing I don't understand. He looked a little puzzled and said, "Why do you do these things? Even if you don't do anything, you don't lose anything." ”

"Losing yourself for this so-called test is really not like something you would do. ”

Thomas didn't answer directly, he said lightly: "In Almac, my existence has become an obstacle, and that old fellow from Thor may have been thinking about this until he died." ”

"How can he feel at ease if he always keeps me in control?"

"And that stupid daughter of my family is so naïve that she fell into it stupidly. I don't expect to be redeemed, but she is innocent. ”

"Tsk...... Dad, that bastard, is he completely taking Ellie hostage......" Van grumbled under his breath.

Thomas smiled freely: "I have said from the beginning that everything is for Ellie, so that that stupid daughter with a dead heart can be happy." ”

"I'm willing to give everything for that. ”

"If Thomas de Boer was an ambitious politician, then Thomas Bain was just a foolish father. ”

"So you deliberately alienated Ellie and treated him coldly?"

"For that child, this will be happier......"

It was a smile that could be called loving.

"......" Fan was silent.

"Van der Almac, Alicia pleases you. Finally, the fat minister stared closely into Fan's eyes and said sincerely.

"Watch out for Serra's lie-filled she-fox, you can use her, but you have to be vigilant while using it. ”

"Cheers, then, to Almac's future. ”

Thomas raised his glass, but the action was stopped.

for Van took him by the hand.

"Now is not the time to drink, and if you're drunk, who's going to help me deal with Ellie's old witch?"

"I'll drink this wine instead of you. ”

He suddenly reached out and snatched the glass from Thomas's hand. Then he tilted his head, frowned as if he were drinking medicine, and poured the wine down his throat.

Under Thomas's panicked gaze, the glass was already empty. ”

"Uh...... Yes...... "......Thomas was really frightened this time, his face was pale, and he couldn't say anything.

"Phew, it's so unpleasant!!" Fan said with a bitter face after taking a sip.

"It's still better to drink fruit juice, why do humans invent this kind of drink, it's just to make yourself uncomfortable, disgusting to death. ”

"...... you?" said Thomas, speechless.

"It feels terrible, what are you still stunned?!Pour me a glass of juice, I'm going to rinse my mouth!!" Fan Yi commanded.

“......”

The fat minister looked at the Duke with a bitter face in silence, as if he wanted to see him through.

Seeing Thomas's expression, Van slammed his glass on the table.

"Thomas. He said loudly: "In the future, you will continue to help me make cattle and horses, don't think that if you are Ellie's father, I will release the water, enlightenment." ”

"......" The fat minister shook his whole body, and then, gradually, gradually, he revealed the familiar smile, which belonged to the first minister of Almac, Thomas Bain, with a modest and reserved smile.

"I will do as you say, Lord Duke. ”

I won't write this kind of plot in circles in the future.,It's really hurtful to play this set at the starting point.,I'd better honestly go back and sell cute.。
