As night falls, the noisy deep-water harbor gradually falls silent. The aftermath of the assassination is spreading, secretly pushing thousands of individuals to carry out their operations. Randall, who had nothing to do with it for the time being, stepped out of the room and leaned against the balcony railing. She was placed in a heavily guarded inn by Curt, next to the families of the powerful.

The cold air was blowing in the face, with a slight fishy smell of seawater. Randall looked across the street at the tavern, which was brightly lit and had been requisitioned by Baron William as a temporary operational headquarters. What was Curt doing? Randall couldn't suppress his thoughts. A few hours ago, when a violent explosion came to life in front of her eyes, she felt unspeakable fear.

The 10-meter-high mud pillar rises into the sky, like a huge mushroom growing in an instant. The sun was swallowed up, and tons of dirt and stones rained down like a torrential rain, causing the carriage to jolt and almost capsize. Randall, who had escaped from the carriage, could not stand still at all, so he could only bend down and lie on the shaking ground. Not only was she frightened, she was worried about someone......

What was he thinking at the moment of great change? Randall bit his red lip lightly, trying to resist the memories that came to him. When she saw that the carriage in which Curt was riding was swept into the center of the explosion...... That shudder wells up from the depths of the soul...... Randall only wants to live his whole life, and he will not experience it a second time.

The wind grew stronger, blowing Randall's sky-blue gown into the air. Her burgundy long was also dancing in the air, and her whole person was like a fairy appearing in the night. The guards looked at him with admiration, and Randall was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. But beneath the extravagant exterior, Randall's heart is in turmoil.

Yes. Randall felt the pain of being pierced in the chest. She stared at the carriage that had shattered in the explosion. The heart was almost paralyzed. In the days of separation from Curt. Randall kept thinking about the true meaning of the phrase 'run away'. Randall was in a state of spiral out of control, and for the first time she wondered if her life was meaningful. And in order to protect her, Curt did not hesitate to defy Ioham's will and wanted to let Randall live.

I'll pretend I don't know anything and try to buy you time. You can live well no matter where you are. Go for it, Randall. Your life should be in your own hands. ’

Here's what Curt said. It contains the greatest kindness he can express. If Curt had wanted to, he should have been able to do something about it at the time. But Curt chose to give up, he didn't take advantage of the situation, but sincerely thought about Randall and opened a path to freedom for her.

So what lies behind the behavior?

Is that not what Randall wants. She felt like she was getting a little bit of Curt into the right shape. Ambitious, action-oriented, ruthless, that's just a façade. For true friends, Curt is actually quite human, and he doesn't even care about sacrificing his own interests. And Randall has crossed the delicate tipping point of being called a friend. She knew that she wanted to keep going. The problem is only. Whether Curt is willing to accept it.

From this, Randall finally confirmed one thing, and that was that she didn't know enough about Curt. Where is Curt's hometown, why did he come to the City of a Thousand Laws, what are his friends, and are there any ...... Lover? Randall didn't know anything about these things. Even though she could see Curt's true nature, Randall never paid attention to the reason why Curt was the way he was, digging in, and exploring it. Her affection for Curt lacks depth and is only full of one-sided passion. In the face of reality, it is just a false flame, and as long as a little time washes away, it will disappear.

Eventually, ...... will be lost

Randall unconsciously clenched the guardrail, holding his breath. The night wind changed direction, blowing her long, burgundy blow in front of her, obscuring her expression and vision. Randall slowly lowered his head and swept his head away. She felt a sudden weakness and realized how far she was from Curt. At the end of the assassination, Randall was upset by Kelly and Evelyn's intimacy with Curt. Now she knew that she didn't even have the qualifications to be jealous.

In his past love life, Randall was too smooth. She is the queen of the moon held by the stars, and no one can disobey her. Because of work, Randall and Curt are getting closer. She worked with Curt in a game-like mood, thinking that the most she could do was to add one more subordinate.

However, with Randall's charm, he couldn't even grasp Curt. She fell deeper and deeper into the game, unable to end the game as a winner. When Eorham tore off Randall's sense of superiority and was about to throw her out like a bargaining chip to entrap the sword-wielding nation of Otlan, the rosy world shattered in front of Randall. Like an angel with her wings torn off, she began to trek through the harsh world.

It's far away......

Randall's sad present, in reality, she is so far away from Curt. When Randall was sheltered by Eorham and lived a life left and right, Curt had already overcome all obstacles and silently overtook Randall. His steps are neither easy nor ethereal. But Curt has never stopped, perseverance, these four words, how many people can understand the heaviness of it?

The glow of magic flashed, and the figure of Van Rendel, the faceless steward, quietly emerged. He peered through the mask and stared back at Randall. Randall was still immersed in his own thoughts, and did not react until Van Lundel raised his hand to remove his mask, revealing the face that belonged to Blue Kate.

"I received two messages, you are definitely interested. ”

Lan Kate spoke quietly, and her tone was very gentle. He looked at Randall, who was gradually widening his eyes, and continued to say calmly:

"One, you don't have to marry Prince Rennes. 2. Curt is Lord Ioham's long-lost son. ”

There was a loud bang, as if something had exploded in Randall's mind. Her eyes were in turmoil, and she could only desperately hold on to the railing to avoid falling. Fragments of chaotic memories crashed into the walls of reality, robbing Randall of his remaining strength. In the fading world, she could only see Kate Lankate's face approaching.

At the same time, Curt was in a face-to-face meeting with Baron William. Rodney, Wallen, and Wren were seated on either side of Baron William. Behind Curt are Adios, Gordon, and Cameron.

"It's the Viper's Lair, a famous killer group in the central 6. The information is all on it, see for yourself. ”

Baron William spoke coldly as he tossed a transcript to Curt. In the past few hours, Adios has pulled out the fleeing Assassin Collar. Later, Otlan's torture officer showed his skills, and together with a priest of the Night Goddess, he pried open the mouth of the Assassin Collar. Curt had thought that the Assassins would have the backbone to kill themselves like the characters in the legends. But in reality, the Assassin Leader was very pragmatic, only a few fingers were cut off, one side of the testicle was crushed, and everything was recruited.

Curt cautiously took the transcript and looked down word by word. The above information is concise, to put it simply, the Marquis of Cook's family, after learning that the King of Gurrant was going to carry out a crusade against him, paid a full 100,000 gold coins to hire all the sand snakes in the Viper's Lair to assassinate Curt and King Gourant.

Curt slowly read the transcript, then looked up at Baron William, who was pale from injury and anger. He pondered for a moment, then threw away the transcript and asked calmly:

"How is King Gourant now?"

"I've sent someone to send the police as quickly as possible, and there shouldn't be a problem. If anything, the High Priest would have sent the news a long time ago. You see what's going on......"

Baron William's eyes were bloodshot, he had just lost his best friend, Duke Henry. Curt nodded cautiously, knowing very well what the other party meant. - The Assassin Leader's confession may be true, but he was also deceived. The target of this assassination is Curt, and no one will touch King Gult at all.

If you want to summarize the doubts, first of all, the Marquis Cook family cannot afford to produce 100,000 gold coins. Secondly, for the Marquis of Cook's family, the death of King Gulant is far more significant than the death of Curt. If the instigators of the conspiracy were really them, then by now the King of the Gurants should have turned into corpses. The whole of Otlan will be in chaos, giving the Marquis of Cook family a chance to breathe and fish in troubled waters.

Therefore, the main messenger of the conspiracy is still hiding behind the scenes, and it should be some people who are unwilling to see Qianfa City put its hand into the central 6. Jepon, the Land of Silver Guns, and Britannia, the Land of Hundred Peaks, are the suspects of Heavy Dà, who had suffered a big loss at the hands of Curt not long ago, and knew Curt's identity and value. But...... There are far more people who are truly suspicious. The enemies of the Thousand Laws City are all over the Central Big 6, and each of them has a motive to plot a murder.

Of course, counting the condition of being able to come up with 100,000 gold coins, the scope of suspects can be greatly narrowed. In this regard, Curt was willing to trust the Assassin Leader. After all, it is very expensive to hire a sand snake, let alone let the venomous snake lair not hesitate to form a mortal enmity with Aotlan from now on.

"I'll check this matter, and I happen to have something to do with it along the way......

Curt tapped his fingers on the tabletop, considering his opening. He didn't want to take responsibility for himself, but when it came to Duke Henry's death, he couldn't do it without expressing his position. Baron William smiled fiercely and shook his head slightly. Before he could speak, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling nearby. Those present immediately pressed their hands to their weapons, and their nerves were already tense enough today.

Curt frowned and walked to the window, peering out. He saw the unexpected—the sight of Kate Blue cuddling Randall in her arms and falling down the street on her back. (To be continued......)

PS: There has actually been an explanation as to whether Ioham and the Black Hand will sacrifice Curt when he is too bad. With Ioham's abilities, he can reverse Curt's death at any time, just as he used Wishing to resurrect Curt and repair the Black Tower.
