What happened just now seemed to be just a small episode for the banquet.

It didn't spread among the nobility, and most of the people gathered around the center of the banquet, focusing entirely on the upcoming Duke of Arendelle.

They looked at each other, and they were faintly divided into several forces.

It's just that there seem to be two factions like headless flies, a little chaotic.

And Arman also returned to normal shortly after Ji Yan left.

His face was pale, and he felt like he had a lot of heart.

The situation of not being able to move just now seems like a nightmare in my mind.

That kind of can't be yourself, life and death seem to be too terrifying in the thoughts of others.

He knew very well that he must have provoked the hidden mystic, or he wouldn't have been.

At this moment, Arman had no thoughts or desires.

He was like a frightened bird, looking around in horror, looking at everyone like the kind of strong man who hid deeply.

Even the slightly beautiful women at the banquet did not dare to take a second look, for fear that they would repeat the mistakes of the past.

But Arman had never been wronged in his life.

It's always your own to bully others, where is your turn to suffer!

Arman had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he cowered by his grandfather's side, he would complain directly to him.

At that time, no matter who it is, in front of the Radiant Moon Warlock, there will only be a chance to die!

Thinking of this, Arman seemed to think of the scene of the man begging for mercy, and his mind couldn't help but come alive, and there was a slight smug look in his eyes.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he still shrank his head and didn't even look at those noble ladies he met along the way.

It doesn't matter if his image at the moment is indecent.

This made Elsie on the side both helpless and funny.

After this loss, it seems that Arman can make a long memory.

I really saw a beautiful woman and came forward to talk to her, and even tried to force her hand if she couldn't do it.

As for what happened to her brother just now, she took it for granted that the being had made a move.

Otherwise, it would not explain why a person can be confined silently.

Thinking of this, Elsie began to count Arman again.

When she got to her place, she didn't care that everyone else was in front of her, so she closed her mouth in time.

At this time, when the elders of the family contacted each other at the banquet, they also returned to their positions.

Looking at these old men, who were either majestic or kind on the surface, Elsie pursed her lips imperceptibly.

Even if his father is in it.

It's just beautiful on the surface, but it's dirty on the inside, which no one can know.

Arman had learned almost the same virtues as them.

Even he is a good man among these people.

It's just too ironic.

The atmosphere of the Arendelle family is led by such a group of people!

Elsie thought with some indignation, just as she was thinking about how to change it when she took over the family in the future,

Some people have already begun to stir up.

Because when it was time for the Duke of Arendelle to take the stage to give a speech, it never appeared.

Then some people in the family frowned slightly, and asked the next person to ask.

I've been coming here for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone come back to report.

At this time, the news that the Duke of Arendelle did not appear had gradually spread to the back.

This is something that is enough to be taken seriously by all.

The eyes of the nobles looked at the vacant seats in front of them, and there was an uncertain look in their eyes.

And Elsie looked at the crowd that gradually appeared, and frowned deeply.

With a faint worry in her heart, she thought of her grandfather's physical condition, and suddenly had an extremely bad feeling.

However, a moment later, the Duke of Arendelle was still nowhere to be seen.

The chatter at the banquet was getting louder and louder, even too noisy.

It stands to reason that he could not attend such an important occasion.

And now this scene seems to silently depict a certain possible situation.

The thoughts of everyone present were basically the same as Elsi's, speculating whether it was Duke Arendelle's physical condition that had taken a turn for the worse.

After all, the momentum on his body has declined year after year over the years, and everyone is also watching it.

It's just that they didn't seem to expect that Duke Arendelle would happen at such a time.

As time passed, some of the elders in the Arendelle family finally couldn't stand.

They left the banquet with solemn faces, and went to the Duke Arendelle's house.

At this moment, the lady-in-waiting, who had been honored by the duke, hurried to Elsi's side.

Before she could ask the maid in front of her, the maid's first sentence made the eldest lady of the Arendelle family's face change drastically.

"Miss Elsi, something has happened to you."

The maid whispered in Elsie's ear.

Elsie didn't care about the increasingly chaotic banquet below, and she knew that the maid had no chance of lying.

So is something really wrong with grandpa?

However, the panic on Elsie's face was only temporary, and in an instant she forced herself to calm down and calm down.

】

But even then, her body trembled slightly.

Although I was mentally prepared for this, my grandfather's departure was bound to cause an extremely violent earthquake in the north.

When the time comes, where should your family go?

But the maid didn't give Elsie a chance to think at all, and instead pulled her away and led her to a no-man's land.

Then the secret passage opened, and Al hoped that the deep black tunnel suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart.

Because that's most likely a fact that she can't face.

But in the end, she chose to go into the tunnel with the maid.

When he arrived at a secret room, the first thing that caught Elsie's eye was a very familiar set of clothes.

When she saw some of the ashes on her clothes, her child's holes contracted extremely and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

It was the maid who held Elsie's body in time.

"It's ...... It's ......"

Elsi's voice trembled slightly.

She couldn't say the words at all, obviously unable to accept this reality.

"Yes, this is the corpse of the master."

The maid was silent for a moment before speaking in a tone of extreme certainty.

"And it doesn't look like a natural death, someone killed the master."

This sentence directly shattered Elsie's heart, and her tears finally couldn't help but flow out.

The girl bit her lip stubbornly, and a wisp of blood was faintly visible.

She crouched down slightly, her slender fingers reaching for touch, but flinching back.

It wasn't until the end that Elsie got up and asked coldly.

"What did you find when you came in, or anything else?"

"No, and in order to protect the scene, I didn't collect the old man's corpse."

The maid shook her head, she hadn't seen Duke Arendelle just now, so she came to check it out.

This was the case when it was discovered.

"Miss, I think it's very likely that an acquaintance did it."

The maid whispered to Elsie.

"The wound is located on the side of the abdomen, and the master should have found the visitor, but he was not too vigilant at first, because the person who came was probably a familiar person."

"But by the time we realized something was wrong, it was too late."

"All the power of the lord seems to be sucked dry in a strange way, which is why it will take on this appearance in the end......"

Elsie listened quietly to the maid's analysis, and in addition to the pain, there was a deep anger hidden in her eyes.

What acquaintances do......

What the hell is he for?!

"Miss Elsi, the lord once said that he wanted you to take over the family, I think it is possible to ......"

The maid's last sentence wasn't complete, but Elsie understood what she meant.

"I know, now go and maintain the order of the banquet immediately, no one is allowed to go out."

"Especially the elders in the family."

"Yes, Miss Elsi."

The maid quickly went to maintain order, while Elsie calmly packed up what was left of Duke Arendelle.

Beneath her calm, hides a volcano that is about to erupt.

Elsie cleaned up everything and looked at the empty chamber, knowing that the news of Duke Arendelle's death must not be leaked out now.

Fortunately, only she and the maid knew about it now, so there was still time to prepare.

As long as there is no definite news, everything can be attributed to rumors.

Grandpa once said that the situation in the north is complicated now.

And the Arendelle family is dangerous, without the protection of the strongest, it is like a piece of uncared fat.

It is very easy to attract hyenas to come and eat.

Elsie was apprehensive and confused.

She doesn't know if she has the ability to let her family get through this hurdle safely, especially when the narrator is eyeing an unknown murderer.

But now there is no way and you have to come up with a way.

However, when Elsie came to the banquet, he found that the number of nobles had been reduced by more than half.

Seeing this, her heart suddenly shuddered.

And the maid over there was still trying to maintain order and not make the situation worse.

"What's going on? It stands to reason that so many people should not go. ”

Elsie knew someone was going to leave, but he didn't expect so many.

The originally lively hall became deserted for a while.

"They are all rumoring that the old man has passed away......"

The maid said with a heavy face.

"They haven't seen the truth yet, are they so sure?"

Elsi's eyebrows come together.

The maid was silent for a moment before winking to the side.

"It's news from the family, and it's not just one person who says it......"

Elsi's expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes were almost uncontrollable with anger.

This already shows that the murderer is in the family, and only they know the news of the death of the Duke of Arendelle.

He must have been embraced by a whole bunch of people in his family.

"Do you know who came out in the first place?"

"I've caught someone, but it's just ......"

"Ahem, everyone, please don't panic......"

Suddenly, a male voice came from the stage, and the maid and Elsie looked at each other, and a slightly chubby figure stood on it.

"I'm Ashley of House Arendelle, and I'm sure you all know my name, and I'm sorry for my father's affairs......"

Ashley said a lot, and finally tried to meet the dagger.

“…… With the support of everyone, I will become the new head of Arendelle's house......"

Elsie knew she didn't have to look for the killer anymore.

Looking at Ashley coldly, unexpectedly, most of the family members did not come forward to oppose this situation.

Some of them were even family members who supported themselves before......

It seems that they have already colluded, Elsie sneered.

Even if he said that Duke Arendelle was killed by him, no one would believe that he was weak.

"Can the unnatural death of an archduke lead to an investigation by the Empire?"

Elsie asked in a deep voice.

"This ...... The empire has never cared about the struggle for power and profit in the family......"

The maid replied.

Elsie also came to her senses, but she now suspected that her uncle had other forces behind her.

Her eyes flickered, and she seemed to think of something, and then she wanted to go somewhere.

……

Ji Yan and Cinderella are casually talking about everything that is happening around them.

They marvel at each other's changes.

However, at this moment, the riot of the banquet also came.

Ji Yan vaguely heard the news of what seemed to be the death of Duke Arendelle.

He was slightly stunned, and secretly said in his heart that it was really a coincidence.

The riot lasted for a while, and soon the nobles left, which profoundly explained what it means to be a tree falling and scattering.

Ji Yan looked at everything that happened here with interest, and then saw a familiar figure walking here.

Well?

It's her?

It's the girl who invited her to be her dance partner just now, but now she doesn't seem to be in a very good state.

"Miss Cinderella."

Elsie's face was complicated when she saw Ji Yan, but she quickly turned to greet Cinderella.

"Where is your teacher now, I want to see him."

Cinderella looked at the eldest lady of the Arendelle family.

Combined with the riot just now, I also guessed something in my heart.

Later, when I was about to speak, it suddenly occurred to me that the teacher was most likely observing him here.

It was impossible for her not to notice something unusual here.

And if she doesn't come out in this case, does it mean that she doesn't plan to show up?

……

"My lord, this is what you need."

At this time, Ashley said with a smile, and the subordinates on the side also handed over the box in their hands very sensibly.

"Hmm."

The blindfolded teacher looked down at the box and nodded.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

Ashley rubbed his hands together and said expectantly.

"Haven't you already made a deal with the other forces? Why are you looking for me? ”

"You are a strong man invited by my father, so naturally you should be respected as you deserve. Now that he has unfortunately passed away, I can't neglect you. ”

The teacher's face was smiling, but it didn't expose Ashley's lies.

Because she only needs this item, it doesn't matter who gives it to whom.

Looking up in one direction, the teacher then muttered to himself with the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"Looks like my student has made up her mind to follow her old path......"
