Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Carriage in the Late Night
Time passed slowly, night came quickly, and Sean and the others never encountered any more attacks, as if what they had experienced before was just a dream.
It wasn't until Count Capet's carriage was late that Sean and the others breathed a sigh of relief and completely let go of the unsettled heart in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that nothing will happen today, and after tonight, we will be considered to have completed our mission."
John looked through the window at the luxury carriage parked at the door of Residence No. 7, and his mood was inexplicably relaxed.
Droy and Alicia were also obviously much more relaxed, and even had a slight smile on their faces.
Sean looked in the direction of the carriage, frowned inexplicably, and said to himself, "Are the Earl and the Ambassador chatting in the carriage?" Why hasn't it come down yet? ”
John smiled slightly and said, "It's so normal that these big people always have some private things to talk about. ”
"Yes." Droy didn't know what was in mind, but he also smiled: "I remember that I had received a similar commission before, and I waited outside the carriage for a long time, thinking that something had happened, only to find out that the lord was playing with his lover in the carriage." ”
When it came to playing, he deliberately accentuated his tone, which made Alicia blush, and glanced at Sean shyly.
Sean couldn't understand the meaning of Deroy's words, smiled slightly bitterly, and didn't say anything more, just silently stared at the motionless carriage outside the window like John and others.
In this way, I don't know how long later, the luxurious carriage parked at the door of Residence No. 7 finally moved, and as a man wearing a black and white tuxedo and carrying them on his back stepped out of the carriage, another tall and thin man with his back to them and wearing the same clothes also walked down.
"Look, isn't it okay, the one who came first should be Count Capet, and the tall and thin man behind should be Ambassador Correal of the Augustine Kingdom."
John was completely relieved to see that someone had finally come out of the carriage, and then, out of nowhere, he took out a small bottle of wine, and said happily, "How is it, would you like some?" ”
Deroy's eyes lit up, and he immediately snatched it and took a big sip, then burped with a comfortable face.
As a lady, Alicia naturally wouldn't drink with rude men, so she shook her head without hesitation and signaled that she wouldn't drink.
Sean himself is not in the habit of drinking during missions, so it is natural for him to refuse.
John didn't care, he also raised the wine bottle and took a sip, a hint of blush appeared on his face: "Hehe, drinking in the cold winter is strong, so let's do it, the winter night is still long, let's divide into two shifts to keep vigil, huh...... Stephen, you're still in a group with Alicia, do you want to be in the first half of the night, or the second half of the night? ”
At this time, Count Capet and Ambassador Correal, who had disembarked from the carriage, had already walked into the house with a smile and a hook on their shoulders, and John was completely relieved, and his whole person was like a bowstring under Panasonic, completely relaxed.
Sean looked at Alicia and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Well, let's go in the middle of the night, I don't want to stay up late, I'm getting old fast." Alicia said, her pretty face slightly reddened, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
"Haha, that's fine." John didn't care about this, but after giving Sean an an ambiguous look, he and the smiling Droy turned around and walked to the second floor.
Soon, only Sean and Alicia were left on the first floor again.
Alicia was a little nervous, sat in front of the fire and rubbed her hands and said, "Stephen, do you feel cold?" ”
Oops, what am I asking!? Alicia didn't know what she was talking about, and she blushed.
Sean was a little embarrassed, and also sat back by the fire, while roasting the fire, he diverted the topic and said, "I'm fine, but do you think it's a little strange?" ”
"Strange?"
Alicia looked up at Sean suspiciously.
Sean looked up at the luxurious carriage opposite the window, especially the coachman who lowered his head and pressed his face with the brim of his hat, and said in a low voice: "Count Capet and Ambassador Correal are both very heavyweights, even if they have private affairs to deal with here, at least they must bring some bodyguards, right?" ”
"If this coachman is a bodyguard, he stays outside alone, and he is not afraid of any accidents to the owner of the house?"
Alicia was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "I don't know much about this, but according to my guess, the bodyguards of Lord Count and Ambassador Correal should be waiting outside this street, after all, if this is the Garden of Eden, it should belong to the private area of those upper class." ”
"Maybe." Sean shook his head, not knowing how to explain the doubts in his heart, so he could only nod silently, temporarily suppressing these doubts in his heart.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Sean and Alicia were each roasting on their own fires, thinking about their own thoughts, and didn't say a word.
In this way, as it got late, Sean noticed Alicia who began to yawn, and smiled: "You can rest for a while, I'll just keep watch." ”
"Hmm...... Good. ”
Alicia bit her lip embarrassedly, suddenly got up and came to Sean's side, and then under Sean's stunned gaze, she sat on Sean's legs, and the whole person shrank into Sean's arms like a baby.
"Can I borrow your arms?"
Sean: "......"
What else could he say, he could only sigh secretly, let Alicia hold himself tightly and close her eyes, and in her mind was recalling the bits and pieces of her childhood and aunt.
"If it's my aunt, she should still be reading and studying hard, right?"
Sean Wenyu was in his arms, but he didn't have the slightest evil thoughts, especially after looking down and noticing that Alicia had fallen asleep, he couldn't help but shake his head and look out the window casually.
At this moment, however, he noticed that the coachman, who had been sitting motionless in front of the carriage, had disappeared, as if there was no one there.
"Strange, is this coachman really the bodyguard of Lord Count or Ambassador Correal? So where has he been now? ”
Just when Sean was puzzled, he suddenly remembered the sound of wheels rolling on the ground in the distance, this sound came from far and near, in the silent night, as if a bombshell exploded, not only Alicia in his arms, but also John and Deroy, who had gone upstairs to rest, were also awakened and hurriedly walked down.
"What's going on!?"
John's doubts did not last long, for under the watchful eyes of the four of them, not far from the street outside the window, another luxurious carriage was speeding towards this direction.
But unlike Count Capet's carriage, it was followed by at least a few dozen soldiers armed with guns.
Some people died, but not completely......
