It was late at night, but Alice's mansion was still heavily guarded, with mercenaries patrolling back and forth in the outer courtyard, and female swordsmen taking turns to keep watch, even if a bird flew through the sky, it would attract the attention of many people. 【Reading.com】

On the south side of the inner courtyard, two female swordsmen were walking side by side on the path, and the female swordsman walking in front suddenly stopped, and the female swordsman behind asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"I just ...... I heard some movement. The female swordsman in front reached out and grabbed the hilt of her sword, while her other hand pulled out a magic scroll.

"Nonsense!" the female swordsman behind hurriedly said, "Don't alarm your lord first, in case nothing happens, can you afford it?"

The female swordsman in front felt that her companion had a point, and once the magic signal was released, it was bound to alarm all the mercenaries and personal guards, and everyone rushed out, but there was nothing to do, isn't it a big joke?

The female swordsman put the magic scroll back in its place, and then quietly walked to the side, but as soon as she took a step, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and then a cold hand came around the back of her neck, covering her mouth, and the last thing she heard was her companion's slightly trembling voice: "Don't blame me for your own ......"

Suzanne and Alice were chatting upstairs, although Alice's time was very tight, and she wanted to break the day in half, but people's energy was limited, and it was the right choice to have tension and relaxation, and Alice took chatting as her own way of resting.

A maid gently pushed open the door and walked over with a fruit plate and tea, and everyone who had survived the night knew that if she didn't sleep, she would feel hungry in the middle of the night, and it had become Alice's habit to eat supper in order to ensure the quality of her work.

The maid put the fruit bowl away and made tea for the two of them. But when she put the kettle down, she made a mistake, accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the hot water that had just been brewed splashed on Alice, and the maid's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve.

"Is Alice burned?" Suzanne was startled. Immediately stood up.

Suzanne and Alice are two very different people. For Susanna, the degree of the sword is much faster than the degree of the mind, and many times she swings the sword in her hand purely by instinct. Alice's mind was extremely responsive, but her body movements were a few beats slower, and she kept tensing her nerves. Waiting for the enemy's action, she saw the maid rushing in front of her and quickly retreating. It's just that Alice's swiftness is too elegant for everyone else. Alice had just raised her head, and a dagger was already around her neck.

"Don't move!!" the maid screamed, "I'll kill her if you move again!"

Susanna's sword had been drawn, but her landman froze there, and though she was sure she would kill the maid in an instant, she didn't dare take any chances.

"Lai Qiusha is Viscount Aaron asking you to dry the ground?" Alice said lightly, her expression looked calm, but her heart was full of remorse. Her daily routine is attended by five maids in turn. And the process of selecting maids is naturally extremely strict. Not only did she take Guan Anfei, but she also personally investigated the past of several maids at that time. Originally, their loyalty was impeccable, but recently, Lai Qiusha and Viscount Aaron have been very close, and some people have even reported to Alice, now Viscount Aaron and Lai Qiusha are in the storage room, Alice did not take it to heart, and felt that this is human nature, and only now do they realize that they are wrong. It is often women who make men change drastically, and it is often men who make women change drastically, Lai Qiusha can do this kind of thing, it is definitely Viscount Aaron's command behind his back, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too generous to the servants, and he has more contact with the outside world, and he has more hope, and his mind is also alive, Lai Qiusha is an example.

"Shut up!" Lai Qiusha screamed again, her body already shrunk behind Alice, staring nervously at Susanna, as Alice's maid, of course she knew who was the most terrifying.

At this moment, a fierce fight suddenly sounded downstairs, and the outer courtyard also began to riot, those assassins' movements were fast and effective, and there were spies responding, from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and finally to the building, there was no alarm to the sentry and patrol, but unfortunately Lai Qiusha's screams were too loud, and even spread to the outer courtyard, many female swordsmen were awakened in their sleep, and came out with a long sword to check the movement, and the result was that they collided with the group of men in black, and the fight broke out.

The door was kicked open, and five or six men in black rushed in, and when they saw Alice being kidnapped, and Suzanne was standing aside, one of the men in black rushed behind Alice, pushed Lai Qiusha away, and snatched the dagger in Lai Qiusha's hand, and said coldly to Susanna: "Lady Susanna, we have no malicious intentions, but there is something that needs your cooperation, now put down your sword!"

Suzanne slowly took a few steps back, but her hand clenched tighter instead, and the magic signals outside were transmitted to the sky one after another, and now it was not only Alice's mansion that was alarmed, but the entire city was alarmed.

"Madam, I don't have much time, I hope you can cooperate with us!" the dagger in the hand of the man in black swiped lightly between Alice's neck, "Unless...... You want to see her die!"

Alice's heart sank suddenly, her feeling was correct, the other party wanted to deal with not her, but Susanna! The other party's actions had been exposed, and the reinforcements would rush over as quickly as possible, if the main target was themselves, they would have already started to act, or they would have killed someone and fled immediately, or they had taken themselves hostage, and there was no need to find a way to disarm Susanna.

"Lay down your weapons!" the man in black roared, and the dagger in his hand cut a bloody streak around Alice's neck.

"Don't!" exclaimed Suzanne hurriedly, her hand finally loosening.

No matter how many shortcomings Alice has, at least she is not a vicious woman, and there are times when she can put her interests aside. In fact, if something really happened to Susanna, it would only be good for her, not bad, the assassin was Vest's person, and West wrote her an enthusiastic letter the day before yesterday, her safety was guaranteed, not to mention that Anfei should also appear soon, as long as it was delayed for a while, but Alice didn't think about other messy things.

There is a mood called gratitude, at the beginning, everyone did have a heart to guard against each other, and then the relationship became more and more harmonious, Suzanne is An Fei's wife, can be regarded as the first lady of the big league, but Suzanne has become her bodyguard these days; no matter how tired Chris is during the day, when she wants to sleep, Crissine will definitely rush to set up a magic circle in her bedroom; An Fei, as the chief executive, has been specially guarding her for a long time; and so on, there are many, many things that others have done, which have long taken root in her heart, and there are really some friends in her life who can entrust their lives, which is a great happiness in itself！

Alice's right index finger hung down to the ground, slowly but firmly swaying, her left hand twisting the cloak pendant, and then her right index finger pointed at Susanna. Alice: This is reminding Suzanne of the conversation when Suzanne gives the cloak after nightfall, and the enemy is targeting you!

Seeing that Susanna's expression was a little shaken, Walter slowly approached Susanna with his hands behind his back, and the closer he walked, the more careful he walked, in order to avoid irritating Susanna, he always kept his free hands less than three meters away from Susanna, Walter stopped, and even took off his mask and showed a soft smile: "Madam, please give me your sword." ”

Suzanne took a long breath, "Who the hell are you, what do you want to do?" Suzanne said useless nonsense, she just wanted to stall for time.

"Madame, believe me, we have no ill will. Walter smiled. The sound of fighting downstairs is getting closer and closer, and Walter's mood is getting more and more impatient, obviously his men can no longer stop the counterattack launched by the mercenaries led by Himpella, and the last defeat is there, Suzanne has a magic prop that can fly into the sky at any time, so Suzanne must be disarmed in advance and find a way to control her, at least before Suzanne flies into the sky, and launch a deadly attack.

"If I lay down my arms, you must not hurt her!" said Susanna, word for word, pointing at Alice.

"Of course I swear!" said Walter's heart beating violently.

"Good!" Suzanne hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and handed the sword to Walter.

Seeing this scene, Alice almost fainted, she writhed like crazy, and opened her mouth to try to remind Susanna, but her movements were still a few beats slower, and the man in black standing behind her covered her mouth in time: "Be honest with me!"

"Leave it to me, sir. A pale hand slapped Alice's shoulder, and the thick iron cyan centered on Alice's shoulder spread rapidly, and finally even Alice's head turned iron blue, and her body stiffened there, unable to move.

Douglas let go of his hand and smiled satisfied.

Brunfield's smile was so sinister that he lowered his voice and said, "My lord, we can't afford to fight a battle!"

"Don't worry. Douglas took a few steps forward, ready to join Walter's attack.

Walter tried his best to control his emotions and slowly stretched out his hand, but just as his fingers were about to touch the blade of the sword, Susanna's expression suddenly changed, and the helplessness on her face had been replaced by fierceness, and with the dazzling light of fighting energy, the long sword in Susanna's hand shot out like lightning.
