Chapter 39: The Princess
Looking at Kaili in front of him, Chen Heng knew in his heart, but with a faint smile on the surface, he said without changing his face: "So, why did these people come to assassinate you?"
"I don't know. β
A haze appeared on Carey's face: "These assassins are not high-level people, they are just hands-on people, they don't know anything at all, and they don't know who hired them. β
And on the same day, they all committed suicide by various means. β
At this, his face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood about it.
These are from a killer organization called Shadow Touch, and they came to assassinate at this moment, obviously not idle and boring, but hired by someone.
And when these are dead at this moment, this line will be directly broken, and there is no way to continue the search.
This is the proof of death.
If these people are from Kutu, it would be better to say, with the power of the Kaili family, as long as they are willing, they can always find some clues.
But the man who hired them apparently took that into account as well.
Shadow Touch is a killer organization from abroad, and its power is also very large, and it is known for its strict secrecy, and it is impossible for him to betray the hired person because of the power of the Carey family.
So in the end, Carey can only guess.
In front of Chen Heng, he guessed several possible targets in a row, and then left with a pale face.
Of course, before leaving, in order to thank Chen Heng for his previous assistance, he also brought a lot of gifts, and even negotiated several deals with Chen Heng on extremely favorable terms.
In this regard, Chen Heng did not refuse and accepted it directly.
And at this moment, in the inner city of the city of Kutu, inside the palace.
In a splendid hall, the interior is extremely quiet.
It's a very large place, but there aren't many people around, and it's very deserted.
A woman sits alone in the center of the main hall, where she deals with various matters.
The pale golden sunlight shone on the woman through the windowsills on all sides, setting off her beautiful figure and snow-white skin extremely attractively.
She didn't look very old, but about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she was very beautiful, and she was dressed in a light short robe, and she just sat there, thinking.
At this time, a rush of footsteps from the outside world came, accompanied by an inexplicable sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Oriman couldn't help frowning, looked at the man walking in the distance and said softly, "Venal, she wants to sneak out again?"
"Yes. β
Not far away, the servant who came from a distance was half-kneeling on the ground, and his face looked very respectful: "In the past half a month, this is the third time. β
"Hmph. β
Oliman snorted coldly: "Sneaking out behind my back, being assassinated once is not enough, I even want to sneak out a second time." β
"Is she tired of being alive?"
Below, listening to Oliman's words, the maid was half-kneeling on the ground, not daring to say a word.
On the spot, Oliman pinched his eyebrows, and then sighed lightly and said, "Say, what does she want to do when she wants to sneak out so often?"
"And what happened that day, tell me about it well. β
She pinched her eyebrows and said with some tiredness.
"Yes. β
The maid below nodded, and then spoke softly, telling everything that had happened at the banquet that day.
Listening slowly, Oliman couldn't help frowning: "Wait. β
"Are you sure that that night, it was Venar who took the initiative to invite others to dance?"
"Yes. β
Below, the maid nodded.
"And then, the man happened to come to the rescue of Venal?"
Oliman continued to speak.
After receiving an affirmative reply, Oliman suddenly understood something.
"The boring routine of the knight to save the princess. β
She shook her head secretly, and then subconsciously began to think.
This happened by accident.
Venar is her sister and the princess of the royal family of Kutu, and there are too many people who have reason to be against her.
It's just that Venar just slipped out on the front foot, and someone came to assassinate him on the back foot?
Is there a problem with Carey?
Moreover, Venal was assassinated and was rescued by that person, which is also a bit of a coincidence.
Was it premeditated?
In an instant, Oliman thought of many, many things.
Compared to Venal, she was much older, and she had seen so much.
Born in such an environment as the royal family, she subconsciously doubted everything, and instinctively doubted everything.
"Who is that Kailin?"
Then, she continued to speak and asked about Chen Heng's information.
Below, in response to Oliman's inquiry, the maid looked respectful and spoke silently.
In her mouth, Oliman also roughly understood Chen Heng's past.
"Sounds good. β
Listening to Chen Heng's past deeds, Oliman's face softened slightly, and he couldn't help but nod at this time: "Born in the southern aristocracy, the power of the family is not very large, and he is a student of Coripo, he has good talents, and he is expected to become a knight......"
She nodded secretly: "If there is no problem, it is a good fit for Venal." β
As a royal princess, Venal was born too late, and there is Oliman's biological sister in front of her.
This doomed her to have little chance in the battle for the heirs of the royal family, and no one would think of supporting her.
As Princess Venal, if she marries some domestic nobles, she is prone to some problems.
Her identity is there, a royal princess, and in the current situation, it is too easy to be used as an excuse.
Therefore, in Oliman's view, the best destination for Venar is to marry a descendant of a nobleman whose family is not strong, but has extraordinary abilities.
A knight from a small southern aristocracy could not be more suitable.
Of course, although it is suitable in Oliman's opinion, the specifics need to be carefully considered.
"What else is that Knight of Kelin doing?"
In her thoughts, she subconsciously knocked on the table, and then spoke: "Is there any dispute?
As aristocrats, in order to strengthen the power of their own families, many families will marry their heirs when their heirs are still young, so as to gain the support of other families.
And in addition to that, with the level of chaos in the aristocratic circles, all kinds of maids and mistresses and the like are also messy.
Influenced by his mother, Oliman himself had several lovers.
For the person her sister likes, she won't mind who the other party has been entangled with in the past, but her fiancΓ©e and the like must not have it, otherwise it will be too troublesome to deal with.
But the answer she heard next made her a little surprised.
