Chapter 62: A Little Planning
Prince Savadika took a handkerchief from the guard's hand and wiped the chocolate from his face. Resisting the urge to flip the table, Prince Savadica still hasn't forgotten why he's here, but there are some questions to ask before he can do so.
"Your Excellency is the owner of this mansion?"
"Of course, I am the owner of this mansion, Lucia Leviathan. ”
Lucia raised an eyebrow at the nonsensical question, Einstein had said that the prince had come to him for the battle in the slums during the day.
It becomes strange to have a clear purpose and not know who the owner of the mansion is, which is as ridiculous as calling to shop and not knowing what you are buying.
Savadica stared at Lucia's red eyes and fell silent, like a lie detector.
-- It's unpleasant. Being looked at like this by a man caused Lucia's displeasure, and the expression on her face was replaced by inorganic indifference.
Einstein felt the mood of his master and was ready to destroy this so-called prince humanely at any time, as long as the master gave the order.
After a long time, Prince Savadika put on a smile again, a smile that was so unnatural that it could only be used to disguise.
"yes, I'm sorry, I was going to visit a friend, but it seems that I made a mistake. ”
With that, Savadica stood up and beckoned to the guards.
"Let's take our leave. ”
Without waiting for Lucia to reply, Prince Savadica left with his guards, and there was an impatience in this movement that could not even be taken care of etiquette.
"Do you need to get these mountain monkeys out of this world permanently?"
Instead of answering Einstein, Lucia was concerned with another, more important question.
"What the hell is this guy here for?"
In the current situation, it seems that it will not be a door-to-door commission for revenge, nor will it be just to wake up Lucia's sweet dream, then there is only one possibility.
"In my opinion, I guess I'm here for Mephistopheles. ”
"Is that really the case? ”
Lucia and Einstein agree on the same opinion, which is not difficult to guess, and the clues are all in front of you, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find it.
"However, it seems that the relationship between these mountain monkeys and Mephistopheles is not so close, otherwise they would not have been even informed of the change of owner of this mansion. ”
"And even if this Savadika doesn't know that this merchant named Mephistopheles is a demon, at least he knows that there is something wrong with that merchant. ”
Then Einstein spoke, and Lucia spoke her own conjecture.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have shut up after hearing that I was the owner of this mansion, and the impatience to leave even if I was seen as suspicious only shows that the secret that Savadika wants to hide is much more important than the 'suspicious foreign prince'. ”
However, based on this alone, it has not been concluded that Prince Savadika is colluding with the devil, and the motives, reasons, and methods are not yet clear. ”
Sophia's voice suddenly came from the direction of the stairs.
"Sophia, didn't you sleep?"
Lucia was a little surprised to see Sophia going downstairs with a coat over her pajamas, she already knew how harsh the weather in Khiva was, especially at night, which could freeze people to death. Sophia was dressed like this, not only because she was used to the low temperature, but also because she was in a hurry and didn't have time to pass the clothes slowly.
"I'm asleep, but if someone comes to visit, even if you sleep soundly, you will inevitably be woken up. ”
Sophia replied with a smile.
"Is that so?"
Lucia tilted her head, but accepted Sophia's answer.
The smile on Einstein's face became even stronger, he was not like an innocent owner, he preferred doubt to belief. Just as there was a knock on the door, Einstein heard the movement of the fire, which seemed to be unchanged every night, but in fact he never slackened his guard, and it was self-evident who was on guard.
The defense against the flames seemed to Einstein to be a fickle, but it did not affect Einstein's appreciation of this attitude of not slacking off even when he knew it was safe, which was appropriate for a servant who wanted to protect his master, and even Einstein himself was not completely at ease with Sophia and the flames.
Agni did guard against Einstein, but Sophia didn't lie, Agni rarely woke herself up by uncertain movements, this time because Agni saw Prince Savadica to wake Sophia, and because of this, Sophia hurriedly ran down to eavesdrop without even having time to get dressed.
Lucia's innocence always makes Sophia ashamed, she believes that Lucia is not an enemy, and Agni should know, but even if she knows, Agni has never let down her guard, which makes Sophia a little shameless to face Lucia's trust.
"So what are we going to do? Kill this Savadica directly?"
Of course, she didn't know what Sophia was thinking, and Lucia was still thinking about how to deal with Savadica.
"Uh....... ”
Even after watching the scene of Lucia slaughtering demons, Sophia still can't accept such a cute and innocent girl talking about taking other people's lives without a little emotion.
"No, killing Prince Savadika will lead to a series of troubles. ”
Saying this, Sophia rolled her eyes at Einstein, probably because of the bad influence caused by this black-hearted housekeeper, in Sophia's opinion, only this cold-blooded and ruthless housekeeper would say such murderous words that ignore morality and human feelings.
"Not only is this method the worst in terms of the efficiency of gathering intelligence, but if Prince Savadika really colludes with Mephistopheles, killing him will alert the enemy. Even if there is no collusion, a big event like killing the prince will make the royal capital even more chaotic, and either way it will be bad for us. ”
Sophia said as she exuded resentment towards Einstein, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had a great responsibility on her shoulders, at least to correct it before Lucia was completely corrupted by this courtier.
Lucia barely understood what Sophia was saying.
Lucia is very smart, and she naturally stays only because Lucia's perspective on things and what she focuses on are different from ordinary people, and this difference in focus also leads to Luxia's inability to understand ordinary people's thoughts, including inertial thinking such as reason and logic.
"Is that so?"
Lucia wrote that her head looked at Einstein. If you don't understand it, then ask the person who understands, and not getting into the horns is one of Lucia's advantages, of course, if the premise is that 'giving up thinking quickly' is considered an advantage.
"Yes, as Princess Sophia said. ”
Albert Einstein was happy to answer his master's questions.
After receiving the affirmation of her own child, Lucia nodded.
"So what's next?"
Lucia asked Sophia this time, after all, Sophia is the main player in this matter, so Sophia's consideration should be the priority.
"yes, what should I do....... ”
Sophia held her chin in her hand and thought quietly.
As the minutes ticked by, Sophia's thoughts continued.
It's not that there are no methods, but there are many ways to think of them, and to ensure the greatest success, it is necessary to extract the most secure and efficient solutions from these methods, and this is where Sophia is most troubled.
After thinking about it, Sophia finally shook her head and smiled bitterly, she also felt that she was too greedy, things had not progressed to that point, and no one could determine which was the safest and most efficient plan. But at least it is certain that I will never be safe and efficient if I am so indecisive.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it with Agni first, and then we'll wait until time has progressed before we can draw it up. ”
Sophia said so, of course Lucia would not object, let alone this kind of midnight.
"Okay, then do as Sophia says. ”
With a lovely yawn, Lucia was about to go to sleep for a second time that she didn't know if it would count as a return to sleep, and she asked before going upstairs.
"Would you like Sophia to come and sleep with?"
