Chapter 339: Four Women's Table
It is said that when Louise crossed the ocean from Byam to Beckland, she accompanied only the maid alone, but accidentally "picked up" the "soothsayer" lady halfway.
Later, due to the Intis Ambassador incident, Forthth and Miss Hugh temporarily moved into 59 Agham Street.
Not long ago, the two had just left, and now Rebecca was sent to the door by his own grandfather.
Louise couldn't help but feel a sigh that since becoming a "witch", her "peach blossom luck" seems to be a little too vigorous......
If she had a choice, she didn't really want Rebecca to stay, for the simple reason that Dean Russell's true purpose was not clear, and she couldn't tell whether she was friend or foe.
The "astronomer" of sequence five, even if he is placed in the "Steam Church", can be regarded as a quasi-high-level, not to mention that he is also the director of the research institute, and his status has been raised again, but he doesn't report himself, and even sends his granddaughter to my hands...... This is something that Louise has a hard time understanding and must be kept with the necessary vigilance.
Most of the "torture" to Rebecca came from Louise's deliberate behavior, on the one hand, she wanted to learn some information about Russell, and on the other hand, she also had the intention of making Rebecca retreat.

It's just that she seems to have accidentally aroused Rebecca's rebellious mentality, and the latter stubbornly refused to leave...... This personality is somewhat similar to Russell, and may also be influenced by the experience of the death of both parents in his early years.
Although Miss Maid and Rebecca had similar experiences when they were children, their personalities are very different, and it is also embarrassing.
Louise shook her head slightly, she could see clearly that when she was about to make a move, Rebecca had the idea of resisting.
Moreover, as the only granddaughter of "astronomer" Russell, it is impossible for Rebecca not to carry one or two magical items on her body, those invisible filaments are afraid of fire, and it is unlikely that she will not be able to break free, but she does not resist for some reason, but chooses to go against the grain.
It's a little weird, and things are getting more and more interesting...... Louise groaned silently, an inexplicable smile on her lips.
…………
Rebecca's arrival has also brought about another remarkable change, that is, there is suddenly an extra seat at the table.
Originally, the aristocracy of this era would have special servants to serve the dishes, pour wine, and even cut steaks, grilled fish and other foods on the table into small pieces and put them on a plate for the master to eat.
Louise, though not averse to the extravagant lifestyle of the present day, scoffs at this habit, so that every time she eats, she shields the servants of the house, and only eats with the maid and the "soothsayer".
At first, the maid lady still felt a little awkward, but after a long time, it became natural.
The question is, the atmosphere at the table today is a little awkward, even a little confusing, as for the reason...... Of course, it's not just one more stranger.
The four young and beautiful ladies, all as beautiful as flowers, will probably yearn for outsiders when they see this scene...... Of course, it would be better if the atmosphere between them was a little more harmonious.
The maid lady enjoyed her food quietly, only occasionally glancing at the other members of the table before quickly withdrawing her gaze before being spotted.
The "soothsayer" lady sliced the steak on the plate hard, and the knife slashed through the porcelain, inadvertently making a screeching sound, and looked back and forth at Louise and Rebecca with a slight resentment.
As a newcomer who has just joined, Rebecca seems a little reserved, especially after discovering that her experience in the study has just been overheard, she is a little embarrassed, she does not dare to look up at people, and can only concentrate on dealing with the food on the table.
Finally turned to Louise, as the real center of the vortex, she was like a nobody, happily enjoying the food, and finally complimented in the air:
"Today the chef played well and the improvement was obvious."
Unfortunately, no one responded.
However, she was not embarrassed, she moved her gaze with interest, walked back and forth between the three of them, suddenly smiled, and finally her eyes stayed on the body of the "soothsayer" lady, and asked:
"In the last few days, have you found any clues about the members of the 'Esoteric Order'?"
Catelyn stopped what she was doing, wiped her mouth with a napkin, glanced at Rebecca, and replied aloud:
"No, those two people seem to have evaporated from the world, and they may have left Beckland."
Louise took a sip of the after-dinner wine, savored it for two seconds, and then continued:
"Are they still chasing the 'Night Watchman'?"
Katrin nodded and said, "The hunt continues, and there is no relaxation. ”
"That means the people of the 'Esoteric Society' haven't left yet, they stole something from Duke Negan, and they won't be so easy to get away." Then Louise made a decision:
"Keep up the investigation, and I'll let Rebecca assist you, and her connections in Beckland may help."
"What?" The two said in unison that one of them was Miss "Fortune Teller", and the other was naturally Rebecca herself.
Even Sophia looked up, confused, because Louise seemed to have revealed a little too much about the new Rebecca...... Miss Maid knows very well that even Miss Audrey doesn't know much about the secrets of her own young lady, why would she look at this young lady who has just known her for a day?
"What, is there a problem?" Louise sat upright on the throne and said with a calm gaze.
Katrin didn't speak, but Rebecca spoke first:
"Miss Louise, I'm ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Louise raised her right hand and interrupted:
"What should you call me?"
Rebecca recalled the experience of "humiliation" not long ago, her face was slightly red, and she whispered:
"Sister."
Louise gave a simple "um", withdrew her right hand and said:
"Now you can move on."
Rebecca sorted out her thoughts and said, "I'm new to the city, and I'm not familiar with Miss Catlin, so I'm afraid it's ...... be half the effort to carry out such an important task."
"It's just ......," Catelyn quickly chimed in.
Louise stared at the two of them with a calm gaze until their voices were weakened and silenced, and then she spoke:
"It's all over."
Then, she stopped her gaze on Rebecca's face and said:
"Do you know that members of the 'Esoteric Order' managed to steal something from Duke Negan?"
I've been talked about again...... Rebecca felt that her "lawyer" was simply playing in vain, so she could only nod helplessly:
"Russell told me that it happened at the ball that Duke Negan was hosting."
Louise bowed slightly, she didn't choose to answer the resistance of the two, and suddenly turned to Rebecca and asked:
"Have you ever killed someone?"
