City of Lights, the palace of Fez.

In a richly decorated reception room, the maids hurriedly prepared hot tea and delicate desserts on a small table in the middle of the sofa, bowed respectfully, and then left the room.

Duke Harder looked serious, it was better to leave early, in case he accidentally heard some terrible secret, it was not something that could be revealed with a little punishment.

This is the way to live as a palace maid!

Leaning back on the soft sofa, Li Si tasted the fragrant black tea, he was now somewhat accustomed to this special bitter taste, and it was just right with a somewhat sweet pastry.

However, Duke Hard, who was sitting opposite Lees, was a little restless.

In fact, the situation of today's holy festival celebration is a bit too unexpected.

The celebration that was supposed to go smoothly turned out to be assassinated by a gold-level assassin, and it was successful.

The gold-level assassins who had already escaped were captured by a legendary assassin.

Moreover, the legendary Assassin seems to have a very close relationship with the newly made Marquis of Lees Kane.

This series of super-unfoldings made Forchis a little unable to react.

Fauces used to think that Lees was just a relatively good junior, and he still had a little heart to take care of.

But watching him grow rapidly step by step and become a disciple of [Judgment Flame], it is entirely possible that he will touch the realm of legends in the future.

Looking at Lees, who had a relaxed face, Forchis thought for a moment and didn't ask.

Let's wait until His Majesty comes.

The silence between the two lasted for a while before it was broken by His Majesty the King and the Second Prince Yat'an, who pushed the door open.

Morton Fez's face had regained his composure, and for this monarch who had seen countless winds and waves, even the sky falling could not make him lose his temper much.

Not to mention, the final result of today's Holy Day assassination is not bad, the assassin has been caught.

And Lis.

Morton sat on the sofa in the main seat, his face calm, no longer as casual as when he first summoned Lees.

Behind him, there are two legendary bosses, and it is enough for Morton to pay attention to it, rather than simply seeing him as a junior and a courtier.

"I don't know who the strong man is?"

Morton sat on the main sofa and asked after a moment of silence.

Instead of sitting down, Artian chose to stand behind Morton.

Li Si did not look like he did when he was in Triumph Square before, but replied with a smile:

"That's an elder in the family."

When Morton heard the news, he nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, when Bevis told him that a legendary assassin had appeared, he had already guessed in his heart.

After all, Li Si had also vaguely mentioned it to him before.

Morton didn't ask, since Li Si had hinted before, he had no ill will towards the kingdom.

That's good, then Morton doesn't plan to ask any further, and has a certain amount of respect for the legendary powerhouse.

"Li Si, since you asked that person today, did you know in advance that something would happen today?"

Morton's old face smiled and asked.

To be honest, he had vaguely guessed who did today's incident, but the appearance of that person made Morton even more puzzled.

Morton didn't believe that a legendary assassin would always be by Lees's side, and today's events were certainly not a coincidence.

"Your Majesty must have guessed that."

Li Si said with a smile.

It stands to reason that King Morton must have known what Artian was secretly planning, and even though he didn't know that Artian would assassinate the nobles during the Holy Day celebration, he should have reacted immediately.

Don't doubt the political acumen of a king.

"Why don't you let His Highness Artian explain why this is happening today!"

Lees proposed, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Artan, who was standing behind Morton.

When Yat'an heard this, his heart sank.

In fact, when he was in the square, when he saw the assassin's bloody blade captured, he already understood that his plan had been discovered, and he took countermeasures in advance.

And the person who saw through his plan was none other than Lees Kane, who had always brought him unease.

And as soon as Li Si said this, it meant that he didn't want to let go of himself.

Hearing Li Si's meaningful words, Morton's face did not make any waves.

And Duke Harder has been looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and he seems to be unconcerned.

Those present were all smart people, and His Majesty the King asked him to stay, but that doesn't mean he can speak freely now.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Morton said in a flat tone, picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea.

Yatan took a deep breath and didn't choose to defend himself.

At this point, he naturally has the consciousness to face failure.

Yat'an walked up to His Majesty, fell to his knees, and said in a deep voice:

"That assassin was secretly cultivated by the Berdych Kingdom, but it was actually a pawn I buried in the Berdych Kingdom many years ago."

"The assassination that happened at the celebration today was also secretly planned by me!"

Gritting his teeth and explaining all his plans word by word, Yat'an breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that the haze that has accumulated in his heart for many days has finally been revealed, no matter what his final result is, he will face it calmly.

Ooh!

Li Si, who was listening from the sidelines, was amazed in his heart, but he didn't expect that Yat'an's plan was quite rigorous and thoughtful.

From the Kingdom of Berdych, to the Frontier Dukes and Court Nobility.

From buying strategic materials everywhere to planning a Holy Day assassination.

Ateaan's plans can be said to be interlocking and far-reaching.

Especially when the assassin Blood Blade of the Berdych Kingdom turned out to be his man, this operation was simply amazing.

I have to say that to be able to coordinate and lay out such a big plan, Yatan is indeed a capable and ambitious person.

It's a pity that he met himself, not the nerdy Liss Kane in his previous life.

"I remember, I was one of the nobles you planned to assassinate in the first place."

Li Si said with a smile, and by the way, he debunked the place where Yatean was hiding.

"Yes, but then I changed people."

Seeing that Li Si was so clear, Yatan also admitted it with shame, and didn't even think about how Li Si knew every aspect of his plan so clearly.

Morton also felt the meaning expressed by Liss in his heart.

Yatan wanted to target me, even kill me, so I fought back.

However, I still care about the face of the kingdom, so I didn't name it out on the spot as the mastermind.

But the kingdom should not easily spare Yatan, as the prince of the kingdom, assassinating the nobles of the kingdom is something that will cause turmoil in the kingdom.

Smart people never have to say much.

Now the problem was in the hands of King Morton.

Do you want to deal with Athean severely?
