Chapter 603: The whereabouts of the former queen
Ivan didn't ask anything more. After resting for a while, the two got up and continued walking in the direction of the path that stretched.
The pale blue roof gradually emerged in the lush forest, and faintly, there was a clear light. Walk a little closer, and you'll see the elegant towers and white walls hidden in the green treetops. It was a ...... Reminiscent of the garden in the upper district of Alcatia City, when Ivan, Aisha, Xiulin, Carlo and Nalle lived in Alcatia City, Devany arranged for them to live in such a chic but not luxurious garden.
"Do you know all the people here?"
When he was only a few dozen meters away from the arch of the garden, Ivan stopped and told Sanny to hide in the bushes by the side of the road.
Sanny used to work here as a maid, but Devany Scherling didn't come often, and the servants looked after the garden, orchards, and fields at the back of the garden. As if frightened, Sunny stared blankly at the guard standing guard under the archway, and involuntarily shrank back, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded sheepishly.
"How are the guards and servants?"
"No...... Not much. Well, before I went to the city of Cadolissa, there were only six guards, eleven servants, and four gardeners working in the back. ”
"Well, you don't know if Devany sent more men later, do you?" Ivan noticed that she had been staring at the guards.
"Yes, I don't know. Sanny bowed her head.
Sunny knows everyone in the garden, and if you think about it from another angle, everyone in the garden should know Sunny too. At this time, Sanny didn't seem to want to go back. No wonder, she couldn't explain to the guards and servants who knew her why she had brought a foreigner to Daphne's private mansion.
It's better not to alarm Devany yet...... bar.
"I'm going to investigate. Until I come back, you-you just stay in the forest, okay?"
Ivan wanted to keep his expression strict. However, the tone couldn't help but soften a lot. It wasn't a wise decision, and he knew very well that Sunny might not do what he said. However, he obviously couldn't bring Sunny in. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to get rid of her...... Ivan couldn't do this kind of thing at all.
Sanny looked at him dumbfounded. I didn't seem to understand what he was saying.
"Stay in the forest and try to ...... Stay away from here. Ivan took a deep breath and finished speaking. If Sunny just ran away, it wouldn't seem to be in the way. Devonie's private mansion is in front of her, and he will find her before Sunny informs her.
Sanny was stunned for a moment, then nodded cautiously in agreement. Ivan watched as Sunny ran alone into the depths of the bushes until she was no longer visible.
This place, and the style of the upper neighborhood of Snow Lotus is really similar.
As the lord of Arcatia City. Devany deliberately built the garden in the upper neighborhood of Snow Lotus to resemble her residence on the mainland of Kadolissa, and she was not willing to stay in Arcatia City. She had said that she rarely returned to her hometown, and that she had a lot of difficulties in setting the traps she had now, but now was not the time to understand her.
There were very few guards.
I guess Devany didn't imagine that Ivan would find this place. He climbed into the garden from the fence in the back garden very easily, completely unnoticed by the guards who were resting in the shade of the trees. The tall house in the middle of the garden was unguarded. Devany didn't add to the staff...... Yes, she didn't want her private mansion to be conspicuous, it was more than just her private mansion.
It seems that the former queen Judith may be here.
There's a big problem with Freya's plan to impersonate Freya, and that's the former Queen Judith, who lives in Rosanne's Castle.
There's no way Judith can't fail to recognize her adopted daughter. Moreover, Ivan could not think of a reason why Judith would abandon his adopted daughter.
Freya is not Judith's biological daughter, but Freya definitely grew up with Judith as the heir to the throne. Before going to the mainland of Paran. Freya's experience is almost a blank slate, except for "reading a lot of books", she has no knowledge at all, plus her wayward temper, how to think about how to feel spoiled child. It wasn't clear to him whether Judith cared about Freya's origins. However, Judith must have doted on her adopted daughter.
Judith knows very well, right? In what capacity did Daphne Shelling stay by Judith's side to help Judith before she adopted Freya? Freya sees Daphne as a teacher and family. For a long time after adopting Freya, Devany remained with them, and then became the lord of Arcatia City, rarely returning.
When Freya became the queen, the noble Daphne had no idea, could it be that this was all deliberately arranged by Judith? She seems to have long realized that Daphne would pose a threat to Freya's throne, but she still seems to trust Daphne.
Her trust should be justified...... Sanny probably couldn't have made up a lie in that situation, and Devany cared about Judith very much, and often mentioned Judith, saying that she was a "great queen" and might have real respect, in that case, Daphne really wouldn't hurt Judith.
The disappearance of the previous queen did not cause any panic, and it seems that no one has yet known that the former queen is not in the castle. It's unclear how Devany did this. Now it's more important that if Devany still has respect for Judith, she won't hurt her, and she can't stop herself, and she can't be discovered by others......
The manor, which seemed to be the same as usual, was probably the place where Judith had been placed under house arrest, which is why she had been coming back so often during this time - in the past, she preferred to stay in the castle of Rosanti, which symbolized the supreme power of the Feather Clan, because Judith was much more difficult to control than Shanny.
Could Na'er be here too?
Suddenly the hope that rose like a flame flickered up, if Na'er was still alive, if Daphne wasn't ready to take her hostage, maybe she would have kept her here!
It should be the safest place for Daphne...... Ivan couldn't help but widen his eyes and look around, the curved corridor, the simple and temperamental decorations, the pure white wooden doors carved with flowers and vines, and the empty semicircular hall.
...... Even if Na'er was really here, she must have been heavily guarded in some small room, and it was impossible to find it so easily. Not to mention...... Na'er may not be here at all.
It's just that he wants to rescue Na'er too much.
In any case, you can't afford to lose Na'er again. (To be continued)
