Agatha thought for a while, and then said to herself, "Come and see my reply to the second prince...... It needs to be changed. ”

Luke heard Agatha's intentions and expressed his attitude: "I am still on your side, and I will fully cooperate with you." I'll go back if there's nothing else urgent, there's too much to worry about here.

I really want to go back to Angry Waves City!

Sun, sand and wine are the life I want. ”

Agatha smiled and said, "It's just that a lot of people don't want you to go back, and this is the stage for you to play."

Thank you again, Dale's disappearance has always been a burden on my heart, her kindness is the most precious thing of the Augustinian family, and I will protect her no matter what. ”

Luke stood up and saluted Agatha: "Good things deserve to be guarded by all, especially the noble virtues that we all lack. It's a pleasure to talk to you so much, and I wish you all the best.

Leave! ”

"Looking forward to seeing you next time."

Agatha waved her hand for the guards to remove the barrier, and watched Luke leave along the garden path.

The personal officer came to Agatha's side and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?" ”

"I want to see the second prince, you can arrange it."

"Is it a secret meeting?"

"No, it's my sister who went to visit my brother."

The female officer nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness." ”

"Withdraw everyone who is watching the meteorite."

The female officer asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, the meteorite is a key figure that all parties are fighting for. If he betrays, it will put you in a very dangerous position. ”

Agatha said lightly: "There is no loyalty or betrayal between Meteor and me, trust is the cornerstone of a strong relationship.

What information did you find about those rumors? ”

The female officer replied: "According to our investigation, the source of these rumors should be the Cabinet. The loyalty shown by the Meteorite to you makes these rumors very spreading.

Some people say that Princess Dale disappeared because of ......"

Agatha knew the whereabouts of Princess Dale, so she no longer worried about these fabricated false words, but considered the changes in the court after Princess Dale's return.

After the Abyss Temple took the blame, the palace struggle caused by the attack on Princess Daile was calmed down. He was pushed into the whirlpool of the battle between the two princes by the falling star, and became a strong reinforcement for the second prince who was biased towards the inferior.

The meteorite will also establish a preliminary relationship of trust with the eldest prince because of this matter, and become an existence that will not easily fall into the water when he steps on all the ships in the imperial capital.

But Agatha could feel that the meteorite was doing this to prepare to backstab the Great Prince at a critical time, and that blow definitely made the Great Prince unable to turn over.

Agatha believed that Meteor could do it, and he had the skills and guts to do so.

But why did the meteorite do it?

For me? Put me in the position he preset for me!

Or is it for Dale? Because good things deserve to be guarded by all, especially the noble qualities that we all lack!

Or both!

What happened between him and Dale, it must have been the first time they met, why did Dale get such a high evaluation from him?

As Agatha pondered, the valet thought she was worried about the rumors.

"Your Highness, we have made several plans to deal with the rumors, which should have some results."

Agatha came back to her senses and said to the female officer, "Don't worry about the rumors. If they really believe, they should be afraid. ”

The female official didn't understand why the eldest princess was so hasty with this kind of matter that affected her reputation, so she had to answer: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

……

When Luke returned to Secret Service Six from Tulip Manor, Sinclair, who had gone to the Sheriff's Office to inquire about the news, also happened to return.

The Sheriff's Office has also developed an inside line in the stabbing blades, and this time so many stabbing blades died suddenly, which means that something big has happened in the imperial capital, and the Sheriff's Office is of course very nervous.

"Could it be that our previous speculation was wrong, it wasn't the second prince who attacked Aunt Da'er...... Is it the Brotherhood of Blades? ”

Luke laughed, "When did I speculate that it was the second prince who attacked Princess Daile?" It's always been you guessing! ”

"But my father also said......" Sinclair knew that he was leaking his mouth and immediately stopped: "But why did you go to see the second prince?" ”

"I made it very clear, I went to visit, and I visited."

"No, you're hiding something from me." Sinclair wasn't that easy to fool.

"Well, I'll tell you. It was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who wanted to see the second prince, but she didn't want to take the initiative to see him, so I went to scare him. And then...... He went to Tulip Manor that night. ”

Sinclair realized that he had touched something he had been unwilling to face.

"Oh, I see, it looks like my father is going to have a headache. Regardless of these, what did you find on the spot? ”

"Some remnants of what appears to be a secret technique have been found." Luke placed a bag of powder recovered from the fire scene on the table.

"Mystic?" Sinclair picked up the bag and found that the powder inside looked like regular soot, so he asked, "What are these?" ”

Luke replied, "Some of them were taken to the Oulu Academy branch to have Miss Weathersky tested, and the result was...... Blood red powder made from human blood. This small bag of blood red powder should be empty of at least the entire blood of an adult, and the blood contains the despair, helplessness, and fear of the deceased in the face of his own blood draining. ”

Hearing that the powder in his hand was actually made like this, Sinclair threw the bag on the table: "This is simply inhumane!" I've killed a lot of people, but I can't do anything like that. ”

"Nowadays, mainstream occult researchers also reject inhumane occult experiments, but occultism is an academic field that is easy for people to fall into depravity, and there is a place that is very tolerant of this kind of occultists."

Sinclair said, "It's the Abyss Temple, and these blood-red powders come from the Abyss Temple?" ”

"Negative energy is the medium that attracts the abyss, and blood red powder is a major material that creates the abyssal environment. We found a lot of traces of beast bites on the deceased, and it should be that the Abyss Temple had arranged the secret technique at the meeting site of the Thornblade in advance.

After the secret art was activated, the interior of the treasury was pulled into a space filled with abyssal energy, and the abyssal monster transformed by the abyssal energy attacked the Thornblade.

Finally, the Abyss Mage cleaned up the scene and set fire to the corpse.

As the blood red powder turned from red to gray after releasing the mysterious energy, a part of it was left at the scene by the abyss mage in the dark night. ”

After listening to Luke's analysis of the case, Sinclair asked, "But why did the Abyss Temple ambush the blade-wielding Brotherhood's spikes?" What does the stabbing blade have to do with Aunt Dale's attack? ”

"Do you remember Sam, the suspect I let go?"

"Remember, the entire imperial capital now knows that Sam is directly related to the attack on Aunt Dale. But isn't he dead? ”

Luke began to play freely: "Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living. When Sam was killed, I sent someone to follow the Assassins, and it turned out that it was the Abyss Temple that controlled Sam.

The attack on Princess Daile was carried out by a group of abyss mages and a group of thornblades. ”

Sinclair did not doubt Luke's words.

Attacking Princess Dale to provoke a struggle in the imperial court was of great benefit to the Celtic Grand Duke. In fact, if it weren't for Meteorite and Gabriel Shoufu secretly transferring the contradiction to the Celtic Archduke, the imperial capital would still be in a state of self-endangerment.

Naturally, I don't have the energy to care about the affairs of the south.

Sinclair said indignantly: "This group of abyss mages lurking in the imperial capital must be eradicated as soon as possible. ”

Luke said: "I already have some clues, but the Abyss Temple's ambush of the Blade-wielding Brotherhood's stabbing blade this time is very likely to take over the Brotherhood's intelligence network in the imperial capital.

The people I brought with me from Angry Waves can be trusted, but the CIA headquarters ...... The Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Brotherhood of Blades have been fighting for hundreds of years, and there are people from the other side within each side. The case of the eldest princess, Princess Chadelle, has not been fruitful for so long, and she knows that all the people under her cannot be trusted. ”

With that, Luke let out a regretful sigh.

Sinclair understood the situation facing the meteorite at this time.

The Imperial Intelligence Bureau and the Brotherhood of Blades will maintain a state of fighting for a long time, and they can even cooperate in some things.

Especially in the imperial capital, there are many people who work for both sides.

The Abyss Temple cleaned up the Thorn Blade, probably because he felt that the Thorn Blade could not be trusted. Then to deal with the Abyss Temple, naturally you can't trust the Secret Intelligence Bureau.

Sinclair quickly thought of a solution: "Since we can't use agents from the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, we can use people from the military."

My father had a city garrison, many of whom were veterans who had retired from the North. It is also the duty of the city guards to exterminate the abyssal mages lurking in the imperial capital, and I can convince my father to send an army to cooperate with you. ”

Luke was overjoyed when he saw Sinclair like this: "Really? That's great! With the help of the City Guards, as long as we can find the hiding place of the Abyss Mages, we can wipe them out.

Not only was he able to solve the attack on Princess Dale, but he also made an immeasurable contribution to the empire. ”

Sinclair was glad that he was able to fight in the imperial capital.

"This matter is settled! You find out these abyssal mages as soon as possible, and I'll go back now and tell my father about our plan.

There's no problem on my side, but yours is strictly confidential. ”

Luke said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm very strict. ”

Sinclair, who decided to do something big in the imperial capital, happily left the Secret Service No. 6.

Luke waited for news from the fast legs.

Whether or not you can meet Samur, the leader of the Thornblades, decide how your plan will unfold.

In the evening, Karina delivered a letter.

"Lord Governor, the eldest princess has reactivated her dedicated communication channel with you. This is a letter that has just been sent from Tulip Estate......"

Luke took the letter, wondering.

The dedicated communication channel with Agatha was deactivated after she came to the imperial capital, how could she suddenly send a letter through this channel?

Luke examines the envelope and opens it to make sure there are no problems.

"This communication channel is enabled because it is more confidential than other channels. And this kind of communication can make us more honest with each other, after all, some words are not easy to say in person.

After the letter was delivered, I was going to see Alec and tell him about it...... I will accept his invitation. At the same time, I will also tell him that I can't completely control you, and your proximity to the eldest prince makes me feel a sense of crisis.

……”

In the letter, Agatha wrote a lot about what she had to talk to Alec, details and confidentiality that none of her close ministers could know.

Although there was nothing superfluous in the letter, Luke always felt that the flavor contained in it was a little different from before!
