Chapter 248: The Call of the Nightingale of Despair
Audrey suddenly became a little interested, and she noticed that Miss Hugh spoke in a very firm tone, as if she had expected it, so she did not answer directly, but asked curiously:
"What do you think I'll say?"
Miss Hugh looked as usual, and said in a childish voice that did not match her serious expression at the moment:
"Maybe it has something to do with Miss Louise, I guess......"
Audrey was surprised at first, then nodded secretly as she remembered something, and couldn't help but realize in her heart that there had been some untold story between Hugh and Louise...... If Russell the Great had tried a little harder, a very appropriate adjective would probably have come to Miss "Justice" in her mind these days:
"The domineering president and her 'little wife'."
"That's right, your instincts are sharp." Audrey put aside her speculation and brought the conversation back to the point, first affirming Hugh's statement, and then explaining in detail:
"If you are worried about Mr. A's retaliation afterwards, I can show you a relatively safe path, which is to choose to accept Louise's protection, and she will keep you safe, and it won't be too long."
"Miss Louise!" Upon hearing this, Furth immediately burst out in surprise, his eyes widened, his gaze swept back and forth between Audrey and Hugh's bodies, and asked in surprise:
"Could Miss Louise really be extraordinary? Even a powerful extraordinaire who can resist Mr. A! ”
How do you feel that the whole world knows about this, but I am like an ignorant girl...... After receiving the affirmative gesture from the two, Foirth pressed his forehead with both hands and leaned back in his chair to calm his shock.
Soon, she suddenly realized something, and she straightened herself up, looked tentatively at Miss Audrey, and asked carefully:
"Then you are ...... too"
Audrey bowed slightly, and said calmly, "Yes." ”
Forth slumped behind him again, like an eggplant wilted by frost, and the loss was palpable, but on second thought, there seemed to be one man more pitiful than himself, and that was Viscount Glerint...... The small extraordinary gatherings of five people that he regularly held, and now it seems that only the organizer, Mr. Viscount, is the ordinary person, and the other four members have all become extraordinary people, and each one is more mysterious than the other!
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept......
Hugh sat aside and muttered for a long time before he had the courage to ask:
"The person who actually killed Ambassador Intis was Louise?"
Audrey didn't answer directly, and said with a smile:
"You were there when Mr. A suddenly appeared in the middle of the ball, wasn't Beckron still alive?"
Miss Hugh frowned and said, "But in the major newspapers that were issued this morning, the headline reads 'Ambassador Intis killed'?" ”
"But that's what happened after Beckron left the ball, didn't it?" Audrey asked with a smile, reasonable, and difficult to refute.
Hugh was concerned about this, but she could not find a basis to refute it, after all, she did see Ambassador Intis leave safely...... After thinking about it for a while, she asked cautiously:
"What happens if I choose not to accept asylum?"
"Well...... Audrey said seriously, "probably there won't be anything." ”
"Mr. A did not complete the task of assassinating Beckron, and the remaining 8,000 pounds of the balance is naturally not eligible to be recovered, his best choice now is to swallow the 2,000 pounds deposit, and then hide from the pursuit of the official extraordinary, it is difficult to have a chance to free up time to take revenge on you."
When Furth heard this, he said quietly:
"Mr. A may not have time, but the Aurora Society is a rather large and terrifying secret organization, and there must be no shortage of members operating in Beckland."
"So I've got the safest option for you." Audrey nodded happily and reminded, "This is also for the risk you have taken, and I have specially sought compensation from Louise. ”
In contrast, I prefer to compensate with gold pounds...... This was a thought shared by Hugh and Forthth, who looked at each other and said:
"We want to meet Louise before we decide."
"Yes." Audrey easily agreed, and then got up and hurried to the west side of Beckland.
By the time the carriage arrived at 59 Agram Street, the hall had already been packed, but it was a little empty.
The three were greeted by Sophia, dressed in a maid costume and smiling gently:
"Miss Audrey, Miss Hugh, Miss Forth, welcome to visit."
Furth and Hugh were a little surprised, apparently not expecting the maid in front of them to remember their names, but the latter's next words surprised the three even more:
"It's really unfortunate that the three of them came, the young lady went out for something and is not at home now."
Audrey couldn't hide her surprise, she knew very well in her heart that Louise should try to avoid extraneous branches at this time, how could she easily move without permission?
…………
Louise didn't want to leave either, although the impact of Beckron's death seemed to be quickly erased in a very short time, but she, the "person involved", should be quiet for a while, after all, no one can guess whether her rash actions will be noticed by someone with a heart, or even suspicious!
But alas, she had a reason to act, because the "Nightingale of Despair" was calling for herself......
Following the established route, Louise soon arrived at her destination, a villa that looked quite exquisite and luxurious.
Unlike the "haunted house" that the "Nightingale of Despair" led him and Triss to before, the villa in front of him was very popular, and the male and female servants performed their duties, with dignified appearances and proper manners, and the details showed the deep heritage of the historic aristocracy.
"Miss Louise?" A middle-aged man in a black fitted suit with neatly combed hair stepped forward and asked respectfully, looking like the housekeeper or something like this housekeeper.
Louise bowed slightly, followed the middle-aged man into the villa area, stepped through the smooth blue stone path, shuttled through the fragrant garden, walked into the uniquely decorated hall, and finally stopped in front of a wooden door on the second floor.
"There's someone waiting for you in the room." The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said calmly.
"Thank you." Louise said, watching him turn away, then reached out and pushed open the heavy wooden door, and saw Panatia, the "Witch of Despair" who had not been seen for a long time.
She was gently leaning on the wide sofa, her legs crossed, revealing her fair and round calves, and her left hand dragging her cheeks, and when she saw someone coming in, she opened her eyes, looked Louise up and down, and said with a light smile:
"Long time no see, young witch."
Louise stepped forward and replied respectfully:
"I've been looking forward to meeting you since my last magical experience, but I've been forced to delay it until now."
"Oh, that was my negligence." Panatia said with a smile.
Louise said "I don't dare", and then explained: "The main reason is that I have been neglecting a lot of trivial matters lately, and I have been a little slack." ”
Panatia was amused, "hehe" laughed twice, and said:
"Well, I didn't call you here today for this, but to introduce someone to you."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open again, and a young man entered...... Louise said with a look of surprise:
"Is that you?"
