Prichis sat down at her desk again, pensively looking at the papers on the table.

I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, my face covered with a shadow of sorrow.

One crime after another, the first to be delivered to the front of the mansion since this morning.

After nearly a week of intense atmosphere, this is the twentieth crime that has erupted in Shulbourne.

Frankly, this made Prisis feel a little powerless.

Bishop Michaela's warning was true, and the cultists had really launched a rampant attack on Shulben.

They take advantage of blending in with the crowd and have the audacity to commit crimes in every corner of Surburn.

From theft, street assault, intentional homicide to vandalism of public facilities.

Even bank robberies and blatant attacks on the Church of Plenty, crimes abound.

In normal times, a major crime that is rare in a month in Xiulben is now happening continuously, and the impact is extremely bad.

It was as if all the possible and unlikely events of the year in Shulben were piled together.

Although the criminals had already been arrested, their identity as cultists was revealed for the first time during the interrogation.

Prisis didn't even have to go out of her way to find her Bloodline compatriots to test, which somewhat eased her burden.

However, the presence of these cultists seriously disrupted the daily lives of the residents of Shulbourne.

The incessant crime caused the entire Monk to panic, and people feared that they would be attacked by outlaws as soon as they stepped out of the door.

The most troublesome thing is that these cultists are extremely difficult to prevent.

They are good at camouflage and blend in with the crowd.

Sometimes, even in a certain family, someone has been unwittingly replaced by a cultist.

Although the Bloodline can identify humans by detecting whether they have the smell of blood on their bodies.

But to be accurate, you need to be up close.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to let the Bloods blend into the crowd on the street to find these believers.

I am afraid that as soon as the smell of human blood spreads, it will make the blood clan extremely hungry, which will have the opposite effect.

I don't know what Bishop Michaela is going to do about it.

Then, the door to the study slowly opened.

Prisis frowned, wanting to express her displeasure:

"Didn't I say you had to knock on the door before you came in......"

But before she could finish speaking, she looked up and saw Leah standing in the doorway, squinting and smiling at her.

The originally harsh reprimand suddenly turned into a gentle smile.

"Auntie!"

With a smile in her eyes, Prisis hurriedly got up to greet her.

Hearing her exclamation, Liya also walked slowly into the study with light steps, and asked with a smile:

"Getting troubled again?"

Prissis wanted to avoid it lightly, not wanting to worry Leah.

But when she caught a glimpse of Miss Gwen, who had followed Leah into the study, she was startled.

She almost forgot that her father's fiancée had a special ability to see through lies.

Let's just talk about it.

"Yes...... Auntie, see for yourself. ”

She carefully sorted out the papers on the table and handed them to Leah.

Leah took the papers, the reports flipped through her skillful hands, her gaze darting through them.

She couldn't help but frown when she realized that there had been more than twenty crimes in Shulben in a week.

"Are you being targeted by someone?"

As a lord who has managed a vast territory for many years, Leah is well aware of the seriousness of this series of crimes.

If this is not resolved quickly, the inhabitants of Sulburn may choose to move en masse.

The land of Shulben is undoubtedly fertile and livable.

The abundant power here ensures that everyone who works hard will be rewarded accordingly.

But in contrast, the residents of Xiulburn are clearly more concerned about their own lives.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resisted Prisis so strongly because of rumors that she might harm humans because she was a Bloodliner.

Compared with life, what is the use of money, if you have money, you have to have life to spend it.

But Prisis only shook her head, and said with some annoyance:

"I don't know ...... either"

If she provoked anyone, it was probably only the lords who coveted the Shuer's capital land.

But they had been sent to Guanta Prison by Grand Duke Barlow, and the perpetrators were basically those evil believers.

Prissis had a hard time connecting them.

Seeing Prisis' reaction, Leah's brows couldn't help but tighten even more.

She knew very well that Shulben would not have had such a heinous crime in the past.

So, when exactly did the problem begin?

Soon, Leah's mind returned to the day Gwen had arrived.

That afternoon, as they returned to their territory, they encountered robbers on the way.

The robbers attacked Gwen as if they were dying.

Now that I think about it, it seems like that was the first crime since Gwen came.

And now, one crime after another is popping up.

It was as if someone had been informed of the arrival of a messenger of justice.

Then these wicked people seem to have surfaced, waiting for the judgment of an angel of justice.

It sounded funny, but Leah couldn't.

She suddenly realized that Victor's recent series of actions might indicate that all of this was true.

Otherwise, why did Victor introduce Gwen into the kingdom, but he himself disappeared from the kingdom on the grounds that he was seriously injured?

Although the messenger of justice did not make a big deal of justice in the city of Shulbourne.

After all, it was the second day since the night she and Gwen had been candid.

Leah plans to go out with Gwen to ease the tension between them.

However, Prisis suddenly informs that Shoburn may be in danger in the near future.

It is advisable for them to stay in the territory for the time being and avoid unnecessary outings.

Leah wasn't too scared, she didn't take it seriously.

However, Gwen, after hearing Prisis's advice, seemed to decide that Shullburn would be in danger.

So he wore that armor all day long, and he was inseparable from her.

In addition to going to the toilet, eating, sleeping and bathing with her,

It's like I want to stick to her and protect her.

It seems that after that night of honesty, Gwen didn't care about the matter between Leah and Victor obviously.

But the relationship between them seems to have become a little different.

It's not that their relationship has gone bad, it's just that it's ...... Leah felt a little heavy about the newfound relationship.

Now, looking at Prisis' distress, Leah wonders if she should find a way to help Priss.

For example, ask Gwen to go out and help solve Seuburn's worst crime problem right now.

After all, Prisis is her own no matter what, and Leah still likes this kid a lot.

Just as Liya was deep in thought, Xiang Zilan suddenly rushed in from outside the study in a panic.

The hair on his body is slightly messy, and his breath is short.

Seeing that the three people in the study were there, she hurriedly spoke to the most authoritative Liya:

"Miss Leah! Miss Leah! ”

Seeing Xiang Zilan so flustered, Liya couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Seeing this, Liya couldn't help but wonder slightly, because Xiang Zilan would not be so flustered no matter what situation she encountered.

Liya frowned and turned her head, only to hear Xiang Zilan report hurriedly:

"That'...... Well, Archduke Barlow, who wounded Victor's master, came to visit!! ”

……

The three of them followed Xiang Zilan, and as soon as they left the courtyard, they turned around and saw the rickety figure of Grand Duke Barlow.

The other party stood around the manor's flower garden with a cane and looked quietly ahead.

The colorful and gorgeous flowers bloom with a light fragrance.

The Grand Duke's face was calm, and he seemed to be relaxed and happy when he looked at the fluttering butterflies and flying flowers.

He was accompanied by a servant from the Prisis family.

They smiled wryly, their hairs standing upside down, and they carefully maintained a respectful posture.

For fear that a non-standard action will cause dissatisfaction with the other party.

As the footsteps of the three of them got closer and closer, the sound of chaotic footsteps rubbing against the pebbles slowly reached the front of the flower garden.

Hearing the voice, Grand Duke Barlow slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the comer.

Prisis, who was in front of the three of them, couldn't help but open her mouth slightly the moment she saw Archduke Barlow, and exclaimed:

"Grand Duke Barlow! How did you get here? ”

Looking at Prisis's surprised look, Barlow responded in a fair and quiet manner:

"I've heard that Xiu'er Ben hasn't been peaceful lately, so I'll take a look at what's going on."

Hearing this, Prichis was slightly stunned, and an apologetic guilt appeared on her face.

She originally wanted to secretly solve the recent events in Xiu Erben, but she didn't expect Grand Duke Barlow to hear these news at some point.

But yes, after all, it has been seven days, and it is difficult for Archduke Barlow not to know.

Suddenly, she felt a fierce gaze shooting from behind her towards the Grand Duke Barlow in front of her.

Prisis shivered and turned her head.

I happened to see Gwen's gaze, staring closely at the Grand Duke Barlow in front of him.

Almost at the same time, Grand Duke Barlow looked at Gwen as well.

Then, he said lightly:

"Gwen Delin."

"I should call you by that name."

"Or should I call you the Lady of Justice?"
