The small storage room can even smell the smell of eroded rotten wood from the air, as well as many strange smells, as if the smell left after accumulating for too long, the wood on the ceiling has long been soaked with water, and a few drops of water keep falling, smashing on the floor, and a crisp echo is heard around the empty place.

A half-grown boy leaned against the corner of the storage room, and although his clothes were in tatters, he could still tell that they were of the finest material. Beneath the messy brown curls was a childish face, with closed eyes as if he had fallen asleep, but the corners of his mouth were closed, but there were traces of a knife and axe.

"Little master!"

Almost as soon as they pushed the door open, Orwina and Edward saw the young man, chained to the edge of the corner. The female assassin who had lost her mind and exclaimed in surprise didn't even have time to look around, and the whole person couldn't wait to pounce on her, sobbing and kneeling in front of the young man.

"Are you...... Ottina?" The young man who slowly opened his eyes only found the girl kneeling in front of him at this time, and immediately looked around vigilantly: "Where is Mock, where is that traitor Moke?!"

"He's dead, he's been killed!" Orweina's voice even had a few cries, and it could be seen that she was really excited, and hurriedly helped the young man untie all the chains on his body: "Little master, wait a little longer, I'll take you out of here immediately, and we'll go home!"

Probably too excited, Orweina's movements were very clumsy, and it took a lot of effort to open the shackles. Kneeling in front of the young man excitedly, leaning forward to help the young man up: "Come, Little Master Renault, we will ...... right away"

"Smack!"

The young man who had just gotten up suddenly turned grim and slapped Orwina in the face viciously. The unprepared Orweina fell to the ground screaming, covering her face tightly and not even daring to raise her head, curled up there with her eyes closed, still crying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's over?" the young man got up from the ground in a rage, and walked to Owena with a fierce look. kicked the girl's lower abdomen hard, screaming again and again: "You useless waste, you actually let me be locked up in such a shabby place for so long, and I have to be abused by that damn traitor all day long, it's a deserving death!"

While scolding, the young man's feet became more and more ruthless, but Owena, who was lying on the ground, didn't even have the slightest idea of resisting, just kept screaming in pain, and then apologized over and over again.

Probably tired of kicking. The panting young man glanced around, picked up a rotten wood that fell from the beam from the side, and just lifted it, he found that the wooden stick had been taken away by the guy behind him, and glared at him with a disgusted face: "Who are you?"

"Edward Witwood, just a knight. A slightly mocking smile hung on the corner of Edward's mouth, and he pointed to Orweina, who was still lying on the ground, trembling slightly: "I have an agreement with this young lady. So come and work with her to get you out of this place!"

"Oh, yes. Great!" A haughty smile flashed across the young man's face, and he raised his chin and snuggled at Edward, "Hurry up and take me out of this place, I don't even want to stay for half a minute longer!"

"As long as I wait for me to go back, I will definitely reward you with something!" said Renault, who was unashamedly crossed and did not know the identity of this black-haired knight.

"But before that, there's one small thing that needs your help—it's not a very difficult thing. Edward smiled warmly, "Maybe you can be generous?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's simple. Sleep a little longer!" As soon as the words fell, the wooden stick in Edward's hand had already knocked on the young man's head, and the "Little Master Renault", who had just flaunted his might, immediately fainted and fell unconscious. Orweina, who was lying on the ground, screamed instead, and hurriedly hugged him without falling to the ground.

"What did you just do?!" Orwina glared at Edward, gritting her teeth. There was still a little horror in his eyes: "If something happens to the little master, I will definitely ......"

"If you want him to get out of here safely, keeping your mouth shut is the best option - we're running out of time, and there's no chance to waste it. Edward interrupted her directly and looked outside: "They'll soon understand, we need to retreat before then!"

Gritting her teeth, Orwina only hesitated, then immediately carried the unconscious boy on her back, and fled the mansion of the Lord Keeper of the Seals after Edward - at least she knew that now was not the time for revenge, and that she needed this guy to help her escape.

The mansion, which had already been alarmed, was filled with searching guards, but it was too late—when the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a few corpses on the ground.

Looking at the fire behind him, Edward slowly turned his head, and Orweina, who had just developed a little trust in himself, was standing there as if he was facing a great enemy, as if he would do something "immoral" to her in the next moment.

"They're probably going to have a whole night tonight - it seems that tomorrow His Majesty Horace will convene the Imperial Council again, and there will be two royal assassinations in a row, the first time in the city of Turin. Edward shrugged his shoulders with a smirk, "So let's get here first, and get out of here quickly, lest you run into the guys of the Garrison Legion again." ”

"In that case, ...... as agreed" Orwina nodded, biting her lip as if reluctantly, and her swollen eyes looked at Edward vigilantly: "The person you are looking for is actually ......"

"Don't be in such a hurry to tell me, what you should be worried about right now is your little Renault master. Edward stopped Orweina with a smile, "Let's go, it's really too late if we don't go—maybe I'll want to know, but it's certainly not tonight." ”

"......" Orwina, who had been silent for a while, nodded slightly, and it was a relief for her not to break her oath - if it was only self-deception. Holding on tightly to Renault, who had fallen asleep, he opened a sewer opening from the street and followed the ladder out of Edward's sight.

Really...... They must have a map in their hands. The corners of Edward's mouth curled slightly, confirming his guess completely.

"Just let them go?" I don't know when, Marco Tasker had already appeared behind Edward's back, frowning: "Do you want Ludwig to chase after a few people, maybe you can ...... it"

"No, not this time. Edward shook his head and turned to the silver-haired wizard behind him with a slight smile: "Do you think that after seeing so many things, I still don't know who did all this?"

"Having a connection with the Minest family, having his own place in the Imperial Council, and even having access to a major secret that can be said to be related to the safety of the capital, such a guy will not exceed the number of two hands in the entire kingdom!" As he spoke, Edward's gaze turned to the street on the other side - the garrison had already rushed this way, although it was a little late.

"Well, I thought you just couldn't bear to see such a beautiful lady being treated so excessively. Marco shrugged his shoulders, "So we have a goal next - to kill the guy who almost killed you, or ......"

"Of course, but I don't think we need to go to him, he should understand by now - let's see what this crazy guy can do. Edward turned and walked into the night. (To be continued......)
