Chapter 243: Facelings
The dance party in the hall on the first floor was not affected by the battle, and continued in a lively atmosphere.
After a dance, Audrey parted ways with her partner, walked to the table, picked up a piece of delicate pastry, and replenished her energy, only occasionally looking at the stairs inadvertently.
"Are Miss Louise and Baker familiar with each other?"
A familiar voice came from her side, and Audrey didn't need to confirm it with her own eyes, but she could easily tell that it belonged to Viscount Learson's youngest son, who now worked for MI9.
She turned, noticing that Conse's gaze was passing through her and staring at the stairs leading to the stairs behind her, and replied with a smile:
"As far as I know, the two of them met at a ball hosted by Count Wolf on Tuesday, and they should not be familiar."
"But the two of them just went upstairs together and disappeared for five minutes." Cons said in a deep voice.
"Oh, really?" Audrey didn't seem to notice this, and turned around gracefully, and sure enough, she didn't find Louise and Baker Lang, so she raised her voice slightly and said, "Really! ”
"But Louise is a very curious person, and perhaps she is talking to Ambassador Bakron about something interesting about Intis."

"But there's no need to talk alone in a private space." Conse retorted with a serious face, "I told you that Beckron is a very insidious and extraordinary person who is good at plotting conspiracy, and he may have other plans to entangle Miss Louise at this critical time. ”
"Well...... Audrey paused for two seconds and hesitated, "Although I get along well with Louise, it's rude to interfere with her friends. ”
"It's just a simple reminder, so what's the point of interference?" Cons tried his best to persuade him.
There was only one reason why he was attending Louise's ball tonight: Bakerron.
MI9 is secretly wrestling with Intis's intelligence agents, and the fact that the leader of the enemy, Ambassador Beckron, has come to the ball in a grand manner naturally raises suspicions...... Constance accepted the invitation, but the real purpose was to monitor Beckron's every move.
However, Ambassador Intis had been out of sight for more than five minutes, and Conse couldn't bear it anymore, so he approached Audrey, who was close to Louise, and tried to figure out Louise's connection to Baker.
Audrey hesitated for a moment, met Conse's solemn and majestic gaze, and said yes:
"Well, I can go and take a look."
With that, Miss "Justice" turned around, and her eyes instantly returned to clarity, and she found Louise and "Baker" holding each other's arms, smiling down the stairs.
"Looks like I don't need me anymore." She said with a light smile.
After taking a closer look at the combination of Baker and Louise, the two of them quickly separated when they arrived at the ball hall, each going in opposite directions...... Finding nothing out of the ordinary, Constance smiled and politely reminded:
"Maybe I'm overthinking, but it's better for a lady like you to stay away from someone like Beckron."
I am now a "mind reader" in Sequence 8 and a member of the "Tarot Society", a former council of God...... Audrey raised a glass of champagne and responded with a light smile:
"I will, thank you for the advice."
…………
"The result?" Audrey asked softly.
Louise took a long sip of red wine and replied with a smile, "The mission is done." ”
"The 'Baker' ......," Audrey asked curiously, knowing only that Louise had a way to clear her suspicions, but she didn't know how.
Louise chuckled, "Didn't you notice that my new maid, Catlyn, had disappeared?" ”
Audrey understood, and immediately set her eyes on "Bakerron", who was having a good conversation with a lady.
…………
Miss "The Fortune Teller" was feeling very strange at the moment.
She is no stranger to the abilities of the Facelings, and has seen the real Facelings become strangers through and through, enough to be unrecognizable to the closest ones.
But when this kind of thing happens to you, especially when it is your turn to become a man, it is inevitable that it will be a little awkward......
After the initial resistance, Katrin's state of mind gradually became calm, and the whole person integrated into the character of "Bakerron", feeling his words and deeds.
Not simply "imitate", but "become"...... Catherine had a hunch that if she had the opportunity to become a Faceling, the potion would be digested quickly.
Saying goodbye to the unnamed lady in front of her, Katrin strolled through the middle of the dance floor with a glass in hand, smiling, looking for Beckron's next target.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze coming from behind her, and the other party didn't seem to hide it, she turned her head and found that it was a young man in a black dress, quite handsome, just staring at her with obvious scrutiny.
Conse, from MI9, he is targeting the "Bakerron...... After a brief thought, she smiled smugly at the corner of her mouth, raised her glass to Conse not far away, and then walked into the "flowers" in front of her without looking back.
…………
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ambassador, my name is Zenani Baranta." A young girl stepped forward and said hello softly.
Katrin was slightly stunned, because she was completely unfamiliar with the woman in front of her...... In other words, this woman named Zenani is not on the list of guests invited to this ball.
Louise's advice rang in her ears: "If a strange woman takes the initiative to find you and tries to be alone with you through seduction and other means, please inform me first." ”
After a second or two, Katrin smiled kindly and said:
"It should be my pleasure to meet a beautiful lady like you."
After a short conversation, Katrin learns that the girl is the daughter of a coal merchant who is actively working towards the upper echelons in an attempt to capture more of the market...... And more crucially, she is indeed hinting at herself, no, hinting at "Bakerron" for a more intimate contact.
"Please follow me." With an unrelenting smile, Catelyn walked briskly over to Louise and asked:
"I have some personal matters to communicate with this lady, can I borrow an empty room upstairs?"
Louise noticed the "Baker" look in her eyes, looked at the young girl behind her with a slightly red face, and said generously:
"Absolutely."
Then, she turned sideways to get out of the way, and as a man and a woman passed by her, she unknowingly stole a long piece of hair.
