Chapter 377: "Honesty" Between Father and Daughter
mistakenly thought that this was just an ordinary small talk between father and daughter, but Audrey's original relaxed mood was broken by this sudden news.
Duke Negan can be regarded as a familiar elder, and his health has always been very good, but the news of his death suddenly came, and it was inevitable that he was a little surprised and sad...... But it's more about thinking.
Miss "Justice" thought a lot at once.
"Pirate General" Zillingers once assassinated Duke Negan, but he was accidentally discovered by himself, and was finally killed by the "Fool's" roller.
Not long after that assassination, Duke Negan was confirmed dead, could it be that he had experienced another assassination, but this time he didn't escape it?
It's something to be sad about, but it shouldn't have been my dad who came to inform me, and in general, this kind of news is mostly told to me by my mom inadvertently...... Audrey's eyes were a little sad, and they fell on the face of Count Hall in front of her, but in fact, she already knew something in her heart:
"There must be something unfinished in the future, and it is likely to have something to do with yourself."
As the study of psychology deepened, Audrey's understanding of "audience" also improved, and many associations quickly appeared in her mind, she deliberately took two deep breaths, as if to calm her emotions, and then asked:
"When did it happen? Why did Mr. Duke die? ”
Earl Hall looked at it earnestly, then quickly withdrew his gaze and replied truthfully:
"What happened yesterday evening, Mr. Duke, died in an assassination."
"Assassination!" Audrey exclaimed in a low voice, "Another assassination!" Is it the same as the last prom? ”
"Pretty much." Earl Hall nodded, his smile was slightly bitter, and said, "The only difference is that last time Ziringus was discovered by you, and this time Mr. Duke was not lucky enough to avoid assassination. ”
Audrey sighed deeply, lowered her head and sighed:
"Poor Duke Negan."
Then Audrey looked up again at Count Hall in front of her, for she knew that there was still something to be said to come.
Sure enough, Mr. Earl hesitated for two seconds, and then said casually:
"I've heard that you've recently made a new friend from the Southern Continent named Louise."
The topic shifted a little stiffly, but after all, Count Hall was not facing his subordinates, but his precious daughter, and it was difficult to use that condescending tone of questioning.
Audrey heard this, showing obvious surprise, wasn't she talking about the assassination of Duke Negan, why did she suddenly talk about Louise, could she be involved?
Miss "Justice" looked puzzled, but nodded anyway, and replied:
"Yes, although we have known each other for a short time, we have become good friends who talk about everything."
And this situation was precisely what Earl Hall was most worried about, and he paused and spoke:
"Last night, when Duke Negan was assassinated, this good friend of yours, Miss Louise, was chatting with Mr. Duke, and the assassin tried to escape after the assassination by disguising himself as Louise, but he was spotted by your good friend."
Ah, this ...... Audrey was a little puzzled for a while, she didn't know when Louise became friends with Duke Negan? It's not normal for the two of them to eat and chat alone!
A second later, she reacted and hurriedly asked:
"Is Louise alright?"
Earl Hall couldn't help choking and denied:
"Miss Louise is unscathed, except for some fright, and has now returned home."
Audrey put her mind at ease, but after thinking about it, she seemed to be a little concerned and confused, after all, with Louise's strength, how high a sequence of assassins must be to hurt her!
Taking his precious daughter's performance into his eyes, Earl Hall sighed silently in his heart and said:
"Louise is extraordinary, isn't she?"
Audrey was shocked, and looked at Count Hall in surprise:
"Dad, what are you talking about, how do I know if Louise is extraordinary?"
Earl Hall smiled warmly and said:
"You still want to hide it from me? You must have become an extraordinary person around the time you met Miss Louise, right? ”
siluke“ siluke
Dad knows that I'm an extraordinary, so doesn't Mom know too...... Audrey was really shocked at this time, she only hesitated for half a second, then nodded to admit this fact, and asked curiously:
"Dad, when did you find out?"
Earl Hall patted Audrey's little head affectionately, and said with a smile:
"You've always been interested in the extraordinary, and lately you've been rummaging through the family's treasury, and even wrote to your second brother asking for extraordinary creatures...... Isn't it obvious enough that so many things add up? ”
"Your mother and I both know that your curiosity is stronger, and the danger of a low-rank extraordinary is not great, so it's up to you to go."
"But......" Earl Hall said, "most of the other extraordinary beings in this world are not trustworthy, especially the wild extraordinary. ”
"Do you mean Louise?" Audrey asked, looking up.
Count Hall nodded earnestly: "Yes." ”
In the face of her father's scrutinizing gaze, Audrey had many thoughts turning around in her mind, either to be honest with each other, or to choose to hide Louise's true identity...... Finally, she spoke:
"I became an Extraordinary because I attended an Extraordinary Party with Glenint, and I had nothing to do with Louise, so I don't know if she was an Extraordinary or not."
I'm sorry, Dad, but I can't tell you the truth, because it's likely that it's not just about Louise, it's even about Mr. Fool...... Audrey suddenly realized that after becoming an "audience", she could not only read the minds of others, but also lie more simply.
Count Hall asked repeatedly, "Do you really not know?" ”
Audrey nodded earnestly and replied:
"Yes."
Count Hall was silent for a moment with a solemn face, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, that's fine."
"Actually, the demigod archbishop of the three major churches also confirmed Miss Louise's innocence, and she really just happened to witness the assassination of Duke Negan, and she was not suspicious of it."
Audrey also smiled and said coquettishly:
"Hmph, you're kidding me!"
Earl Hall laughed heartily twice, got up and said:
"Haha, you have to forgive a father for worrying about his daughter's safety, I'm not interfering with your friendship...... Okay, you read, Daddy is going to work. ”
Leaving the room, and closing the door, Monsieur de Earl restrained his smile and walked towards the study, when he suddenly saw Mr. Butler approaching him, and reported:
"Archbishop Anthony has arrived."
