42. Seven grasshoppers
"Have you found His Majesty's bastard child?" Lycia sat higher on the bed, her back straight, and then combing her hair with four fingers.
Dimitoli shook his head. "But there's a clue. Five years ago, my aunt found someone to kill him, but the killer didn't make sure he was dead or not, so he threw him into the swamp. ”
"Your aunt, Duchess Elizabeth?" Lycia sensed that His Highness the Crown Prince trusted his aunt.
"Which swamp?" asked Lycia, for there didn't seem to be any swamp around Lantkoth City.
"It was the lower reaches of the Bay River, where my father had sex with a peasant woman. Dimitri said without the slightest concern. "In March, I will take people to the lower reaches of the Bay River to clean up the beasts, and Caroline has already recommended you to go with me. ”
Lycia nodded.
"Your father, Duke Michaux, doesn't seem to be very concerned about your assassination, and he hasn't done anything more than to report it to the Security Division. "Dimitrius was incredible.
"Yes, except for telling me to pay attention to safety on a regular basis, I panicked last night, thinking that the heir had to be replaced again, it really didn't affect him much. Lycia shrugged. "Probably because I escaped on my own, I didn't cause him any damage except that my room was burned. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Mi Xiu burst in, interrupting the conversation between the two. "I wasn't going to alarm anyone, but I didn't expect you to know. ”
Dimitrius helped Duke Michaeu, who was about to salute. "Duke Michaeu, you still look physically strong. ”
"Thank you for your concern. Mishew ordered the servant to bring a chair in.
"In the middle of next month, our academy will organize a clean-up of alien beasts, and I would very much like to invite Lycia to go with me, but she always says that my father is not in good health. Dimitoli sat down and took the teacup that Misius had brought himself.
"How come, Lycia, don't worry about your family, learn more from Your Highness, so that you can continue to improve. Mixiu's eyes widened, as a great nobleman, the Campbell family, although the glory continues, but the relationship with the royal family is not far away.
In the past, there was no need to climb relationships, but now the situation is different.
"Yes, Father. Lycia nodded.
"I'm going to hand over some of the family affairs to Lycia slowly. Mi Xiu looked sideways at the crown prince, and his mind was actually thinking about whether it was suitable for Lycia to climb into the royal family.
If you marry the crown prince, then it will be difficult for the children in the future to inherit the title of the Campbell family.
However, he also has Ash, who can give Ash an heir.
Lycia didn't notice that his father had thought so much in such a short period of time, and she was just a little depressed that Duke Michaeu had gone up once.
"Of course you can do that, Lycia is a leader in both her schoolwork and her interpersonal skills. ”
Lycia knew that Dimitrius praised herself so so that Mixiu could give her more family resources, so she didn't feel embarrassed. "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment. ”
Sure enough, the next day, Michaeu showed her a few maps that connected the Campbell family in the Southern Territories. "If I have time, I'll take you to Kate's Castle in the south for a few days, and Aunt Sandel is taking care of it for the time being. ”
Then Mixiu urged Lycia to hurry to the academy.
Obviously, she had just been assassinated, and if it weren't for Lycia's mental preparation, if she encountered such an assassination at home, she would have to be panicked for a while.
However, Lycia didn't want to stay at home any longer, and after a few pretending to say that her father should also be safe, she returned to the academy.
"Lycia, it's not that I don't feel sorry for what you're suffering. When you become an heir, you will often encounter dangers, and you will have to learn to digest those emotions yourself. Mishew, who may have felt a little apathetic these days, explained a few more words before Lycia got into the car.
It's too much to add to it, it's better not to say it, it's obviously just making excuses. ’
Lycia still said touching words.
Lycia's assassination was eventually determined to be the spontaneous act of the assassin.
"Even the Tyre family is reluctant to sacrifice, and it is too much of a deception. Lycia held the letter in her hand, and her little face was flushed with anger.
This must be the reason why Duke Michau is too sloppy, the dignified Campbell family, the church did this kind of thing and didn't even hide it.
"I still have the evidence in my hand!" Lycia pulled out a black cloth from her bag, the same cloth that had embroidered the circle that day.
Fudomi walked over and patted the back of Lycia's hand. "Don't be angry. Nowadays, most of the nobles have defected to the church, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask to see the queen. ”
Troy also coughed twice. "Yes, Lycia, to be honest, I'm not welcome in front of my colleagues either. ”
"You have been wronged because of me. Dimitrius said this with a dark face.
He looked around the room, although he was still the heir of the Thorn Empire, the only people he could trust at the moment were the six people in the room.
Tata put down the bow and arrow on her back, and although she was not an eagle-eye crest, she had a great talent for archery.
Caroline leaned over to Lycia with the axe on her back and looked down at the black cloth she held in her hand.
"This is what you called the Absolute Space Circle. Lycia asked Caroline with a tilted head.
"Yes, let me see, the heraldic book doesn't tell me how to make this circle on a piece of cloth. Caroline's eyes were full of interest.
"You can take it back and study it. Later, Lycia tried to run the circle herself, but she didn't succeed, so she might as well leave it to Caroline of the Shield Empalette to study.
Dimitrius stood up and walked in front of the six men. "In three days' time, we will be leaving for the lower reaches of the Bey River, and I have something to ask you for help with. ”
Except for Lycia and Troy, the remaining four people were all surprised, and went to the swamp to find someone, and there could be people in the swamp besides mud and strange beasts?
"Your Highness, also, uh, it's not looking for someone. "The result of Troy's divination to Dimitri was that the trip would succeed in finding what he was looking for, but it did not say that he would find someone in the swamp.
"It's the clues, let everyone look for some clues in the swamp. Troy added.
Dimitoli clasped his hands and nodded.
"Moss, do you have anything else to say?"
Moss is a fat boy with red hair who is holding a potions book and raises his hand. "Your Highness, Buchton, he kept poking me in the back. ”
Lycia didn't expect that Buchton would be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He still has a bad feeling for himself, but it has dropped a lot.
"Buchton, can you not be like a child, you used to target Lycia, and now, your sister ignores you, and you come to target Moss. Caroline scolded him before Dimitri.
