11. The Duke's assassination plan
Whoever hums a little tune is free to shuttle in the mansion of Count Thomas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As if wandering around his own home, he managed to slip under the noses of Count Thomas and a stranger, and then came to his destination with all his knowledge.
Kitchen.
"Yahoo~~~~~ is anyone there?"
"Who?" came a panicked voice from the corner, always feeling like a thief had been caught.
A gloomy long-haired man emerged from the corner of the kitchen, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and his face, that momentum, always felt a little similar to those faces he had seen on the wanted notice.
"Hey, who are you? I haven't seen you. Fan said curiously.
"I ...... I'm the new chef, who are you, the young master of the Earl's Court?"
"No wonder you don't know me, I'm Fan, the greatest duke in this country, and I'll probably come here often to steal food in the future, so you have to remember me as I am. Fan looked defenseless and reported his identity with a big grin.
"Gong ...... Lord Duke?!ah! It's you!!"
"Shhhhh
"Be quiet, I snuck in. ”
"Uh, oh......" Looking at the defenseless imp in front of him, the man nodded subconsciously.
"Very good, very good, new chef? No wonder I haven't seen your face, as a chef at Earl's Court, if your skills are not good, you can't do it, it's decided, I'll review your cooking skills instead of Elle." ”
"Come, make what you're best at and give me a taste. ”
"Huh??" the man still didn't look like he was in the situation.
"It's really dull! You can't be a good chef, are you worried that you'll be scolded for opening a gang without permission? Don't worry, I'll explain to Elle later, I won't let you be scolded for nothing." But the ugly thing is said earlier, if you don't make it delicious, I will also tell Elle, and when the time comes, you can give me obedient rolls and go back to my hometown. ”
Seeing that the other party still didn't act, Fan seemed to be a little impatient.
"So don't worry, I'll help you solve any problems, you just honestly make what you are best at for me to eat, or do you want to ignore my orders as a duke?"
Seeing the self-proclaimed duke's eyebrows raised in front of him, looking quite dignified, the man finally came to his senses.
"You...... You are truly the Duke. ”
"Who else but me is qualified to call himself a duke?"
The man's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled slightly, his face changed again and again, and he finally put down the murder weapon.
"Ming...... I understand, since it is the order of the duke, then the villain must obey it. ”
"Oh oh, you're very good, do it, do it, I'm looking forward to it. "Fan's face immediately turned into a spring breeze.
........................
The aroma of the broth came out ...... "goo-goo-goo-go
The man was conditioning what seemed to be soup, and the man was restless in his chair.
"Isn't it alright?"
"Please wait a little longer. The man replied.
Then, as if inadvertently, the man asked, "Lord Duke, you can see at once that the villain is new, could it be that you know all the people here?"
was able to grasp the information of the courtier's family to such an extent, if this was really the case, then this innocent-looking little ghost in front of him would be too terrifying.
"Well, because I often come here to steal food, almost everyone knows each other. ”
"......" In a sense, going to the courtier's house to steal food is also a great talent.
"That's right. Fan said as if he suddenly remembered something, and the voice startled the man who was cooking.
"I'll try to poach too!" he said, looking up and down at the man who was cooking, "That's it, if you make something that tastes good, then come with me to work in the castle, and I'll make you the Minister of Food!"
"Boom!!" the man's heart thumped hard.
"Big ...... Chancellor?"
"En!" Fan nodded heavily: "It's a big official." ”
The man's hand, which had been about to make some small movement, suddenly stopped.
[Calm down, calm down, this little ghost is just talking nonsense, no, no! He's a real duke, even if it's nonsense, it will definitely be executed, minister! I will be a nobleman by then, compared to being a precarious spy now, that's a real earth-shaking change! From now on, my life will be rose-colored!!]
The man's breathing became heavy.
[Calm down, calm down, I must be calm. It's not a big deal, sooner or later, this country will be conquered by Lord Earl, even if it is a short time here...... Became a ......]
[That's a minister!!!!! it's a chance once in a lifetime for a civilian like me!!!How can I let it go like this!!!How can I calm down!!!!!
The man's whole body was trembling slightly, and in Fan's eyes, it was a proof of hard work.
"You're working really hard, I'm optimistic about you, make something delicious that I can swallow even my tongue!!"
[Wait...... I can't make delicious food at all......]
The man seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell, and his originally enthusiastic mood suddenly dropped to freezing.
[Damn, why didn't you learn to cook well in the first place!] If you give a little bit of learning to spy on intelligence...... Woo!!]
[Damn, hateful, hateful!!!My rose-colored life !!]
[Whew...... Let's honestly do the promising job of being a secret agent......]
Thinking like that, the man finally made up his mind and secretly sprinkled a small bag of things in his arms into the boiling soup.
[If the duke of this country dies in the earl's house, then it will definitely cause great chaos, and then the earl will lead the army into this country in the name of helping the neighboring country to suppress the rebellion, and he will be able to easily control the country, and at that time, with my merits, although I can't be a nobleman, I can at least make a fortune, and then I can retire and go back to my hometown to marry my fiancée.] 】
"What is this?"
At some point, Fan suddenly appeared beside him and looked at the small bag curiously.
"This ...... This...... This ......" The man trembled violently, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he couldn't even speak.
Thankfully, his training and years of experience as a spy helped him to recover: "This ...... This is a special seasoning that has been passed down from generation to generation in the villain family. ”
"That's it......" Fan tilted his head and thought for a while, "Don't worry, I won't ask for your secret, but, the seasoning that has been passed down from generation to generation, I am looking forward to the soup you make more and more." ”
"Please...... Please look forward to it. "[It's going to make you go to heaven.] 】
After a few moments, the soup was ready.
"Enjoy, Lord Duke. ”
"Oh, oh, that looks pretty good. Looking at the hot broth in the bowl, Fan raised his spoon happily.
Look left, look right.
The man shouted inwardly.
"It looks hot. Fan said with a frown.
[This...... This pampered dead child!!]
After a few more moments, Fan stirred and stirred with a spoon, and finally made the broth look less hot.
"So, I'll move. ”
【Drink it!!】
"Huh?" Fan looked up at the man with his eyes on fire.
"I see, are you hungry too?" said an innocent smile on Fan's face.
"Give you half of it. The duke, who had always been generous, quickly made a decision.
"Ah...... Haha, thank you, Lord Duke. Villain...... Actually, not that hungry. ”
"You're welcome, you'll know after staying with me for a long time, in fact, I'm very generous, as long as you do well, I will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Compared with the earl he was loyal to, and then looking at the generous duke in front of him, the man suddenly had such a rebellious idea as whether he should change the owner.
[Huhu...... I was almost fooled, this little imp is so terrible, if it weren't for the idea that Lord Earl was already fighting this country, I would probably really give in. No, be firm!For the sake of my fiancée in my hometown!]
When the man came back to his senses, he found that Fan had already divided the soup in the bowl into two parts.
"Here you go, don't be polite to me, drink it like a hippopotamus drinking water, it's the Duke's order!"
Looking at Fan, the corners of the man's eyes suddenly became a little wet, and he once again thought of his fiancée in his hometown, although the woman was not beautiful, but only she would prepare a hot meal and wait quietly at home for his return.
"Hmm......" The man scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it to his mouth in a complicated mood.
[etc....... Wait! It's poisonous!!!]
His hands suddenly stiffened, followed by his face, and then his heart almost stiffened.
"Ah~~~~~ I understand, I understand, you don't dare to eat until I eat it first, right, it's obviously a newcomer, but I've learned all the stinky rules of the nobility, it's really boring, okay, I'll eat it first. Fan said empathetically.
The man hesitated suddenly, confused as to whether the little duke really wanted to harm his eyes, and his little conscience struggled violently, almost trying to stop the action.
But the reward of the Earl, the glory of returning home, the good life ahead, all of which he could not resist, the man's lips moved, and at last nothing was spoken.
He watched as the imp in front of him drank the soup with the ingredients.
For a long time, as a secret agent, he has directly or indirectly killed all kinds of people, unscrupulous rich businessmen, corrupt officials, fox and tiger guards, and down-and-out nobles who have lost their territory, but at this moment, in the face of the biggest goal in life, he was shaken for the first time.
[Little ghost, don't hate me, hate this damn era if you want to hate.] 】
"Taste...... Not so good. ”
After taking a sip, Fan said with a frown.
"Looks like you'll need to practice a little more, and at this level, you might be kicked out of the Earl's Court. ”
"I'm really disappointed, I thought I would be able to meet some peerless delicacy. ”
"You can hone your skills a little more. ”
"Sure enough, it's here!!" a girl's voice came from outside the kitchen.
"Stealing food again? I can't figure out whose kitchen this is. ”
The real hostess of this home walked into the kitchen.
The moment she spotted the strange man, Alicia's face immediately hung up on guard, and she quickly stepped forward to protect Fan behind her.
"Who are you?"
"Isn't he your new chef?" commented the cautious man.
"The new chef...... Uh, oh...... Be...... That's right. Thoughts flashed through Ellie's mind, and then she reluctantly spoke.
"But the soup he made wasn't very good, ah, bad, this shouldn't be said to your face......"
"You drank the soup he made?!" the girl nervously grabbed Fan's hand.
"What, let go, it hurts Ellie. ”
"How are you feeling now, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's unpleasant, but it's not so bad that it poisons people. Fan said with a puzzled face.
The girl stared at the seemingly obedient man viciously, like a hen guarding her calves, and glared at the man all over her body, but at last she lowered her eyes weakly.
"Let's go. The girl said in a low voice.
"Where are you going?"
"Whatever!" the girl's mood seemed to plummet, and she said in a sad voice as if she was about to die, and then took Fan's hand and quickly carried him away from the place.
The voices of the two men faded away.
It was only at this moment that the man really relaxed.
"Well, is that the daughter of the Earl's family? It seems that he knows a little bit about something, and if I am exposed, then even the collusion between his father and the Earl will be exposed, which is very lucky. ”
Then, with a frown, he looked at the still steaming soup in front of him.
"It's strange, this poison has always worked very well, is it expired?"
Thinking like that, he took a small sip of the soup from the bowl.
"It's not unpalatable, I really don't understand these nobles, this is fresh meat. ”
A moment later.
"Poof!!" a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"This ...... This...... Isn't that effective, too effective!!"
His legs gradually weakened, and he could no longer support his body, and the man fell to the ground.
It seems that the smiling face of his fiancée from his hometown appeared in front of him.
"It's really ugly, and it can't be compared with the daughter of the earl's family at all......"
"But I just like you......"
"It's really unproductive......"
He coughed up a mouthful of warm blood again, and the surroundings became pitch black......
