The rest of the journey was uneventful. Abby and Heitong shared snacks and chatted with each other about unimportant things.

After Hei Tong's snacks were finished, the two ate Abby's pokey together.

Hei Tong didn't notice that the two of them had already eaten five or six chocolate bars that couldn't fit in the pokey box. Presumably, this pokey box has a function that makes people subconsciously ignore its abnormality.

When they returned to the activity room, the meals were already set on the table.

Before Esdes set off, he had his servants prepare a sumptuous dinner in advance, which was supposed to be used as a celebration banquet.

Although there is nothing to celebrate now, what she originally wanted to say at the dinner party has not changed because of the failure of the mission.

Of course, she also understands that some topics will make the taste of the wine less mellow and the taste of the food less delicious, and the current hunter needs a little boost of morale.

The most important point is that the surprise she prepared for the traitor has not yet arrived.

Therefore, she would not choose to talk about business when everyone was eating, but gently shook the scarlet wine in the goblet, and looked at everyone present one by one.

She hoped that time would pass faster, and she couldn't wait to know who among the members present was the traitor to the empire.

Just as she was about to give the order to serve dinner, she suddenly realized that there were two people missing.

--

In the living room, Porus squatted in the corner of the room, and Abby stood beside him holding a cat doll with an exaggerated expression.

"Mr. Porus, why don't you join us for dinner?"

Although he already knew the answer to this question, Abby asked him the question anyway.

"Because if you eat with me, the food will become unpalatable."

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Don't you want others to see your face? Please believe me, everyone here, no one will care about this."

Saying so, Abi took off his mask before Porus could react.

Porus tried to snatch his mask back, but Abby had already opened the door of the restaurant, saying:

"Everyone is waiting for you."

Porus subconsciously glanced behind the door, and everyone in the restaurant looked at his face that had been burned by the flames. No one showed any strange expression, they just looked at him with a smile.

"Too slow, Porus."

"Hurry up, Mr. Porus."

……

In the call of the crowd, Porus walked from the dark living room into the bright dining room with trembling legs.

Witnessing this scene, the corners of Estes's mouth turned up slightly.

She found that the girl named Abigail Williams was interesting.

Judging by her harmless appearance, she shouldn't be a traitor.

She thought so.

.

Chapter 12 Who agrees?Who is against?

.

Perhaps it was because everyone had no ghosts in their hearts, the atmosphere at the table was very relaxed, everyone was talking and laughing, and tasting the delicacies prepared in advance by Estes.

Because of the existence of Hei Tong, the ultimate foodie, the food on the dinner table was wiped out in a short time.

Abby, who had a ghost in his heart, didn't have a great appetite, so he just took a bite of most of the dishes, then put his chopsticks aside, and watched Heitong gorge on it.

She had already discovered when blood cursed the world that eating seemed to her no longer a necessary behavior, but an entertainment behavior similar to sex.

"What does the general do in his spare time?"

Seeing that Esdesh didn't seem to be interested in eating, she casually raised a topic.

"A hobby? Let me think about it... probably hunting and torture?"

Abby's breathing was slightly stagnant. Although she knew what kind of person Esdesh was, hearing her say such words in person still made her feel cold as an undercover agent.

"Of course, recently I suddenly wanted to talk about a... girly sweet love."

Sai Liu's movements froze slightly.

A sharp light flashed in Hei Tong's eyes.

Gossip topics like love are always eye-catching, and for a while, Estes became the focus of the dinner table.

Because he had expected this point, and even expected Esther's wonderful mate selection criteria, Abby didn't show much surprise, but continued the topic calmly.

"What kind of boy does the general like? Is he like Ran? I heard that he is the dream lover of many girls in the imperial capital."

Abby asked this question to confirm whether Esdeth's mate selection criteria had changed because of Tazmi's sudden death.

When watching the original animation, she felt that there is a high probability that the hellish requirement of having a "pure and flawless smile" will not appear in reality.

Hei Tong at the side heard Abi speak highly of Lan Ji, and glanced at Lan with eyes sharper than those for food, causing him to shiver for no reason.

"Ah, Lan? I hope my spouse was born in the border like me, not from the imperial capital."

Estes responded to Abbie's question this way.

"Oh? Mr. Minglan is so handsome. If I were older, I might want to marry him too. Isn't it a pity to ignore him because of his background?"

Abby said the words that made Lan the center of the table as if nothing had happened.

After Abi said "I want to marry him", Lan felt that Hei Tong's gaze was sharp enough to stab him.

Just when he was about to make a casual joke to cover up the issue, Esdeath continued the conversation.

"The question of appearance is not that important to me. Anyway, whether it's a handsome man or an ugly man, they all look the same after the skin is removed, so it's not worth caring about."

"Compared to appearance, I think... well, having a pure and flawless smile seems to be more important."

When Esdeth proposed her confusing mate selection criteria, the whole table showed strange expressions.

"General...General! What kind of smile is that pure and flawless smile!"

Sai Liu, who was the simplest among all the people present, curiously asked the question that everyone was wondering.

Esdeth pondered for a while. This was the first time that everyone saw her showing distressed expressions after she met everyone.

"It's really hard to explain...it's that...very special kind..."

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Estes knew that he could not explain the question clearly, so he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, although Lan is not suitable to be my spouse, there is indeed one thing that is very suitable for him to do."

"What advice does the general have?"

Lan cooperated with Estes to reveal the topic of love.

Abby didn't try to stop it. For her, as long as she knew that there was still a weird "pure and flawless smile" in Esther's mate selection criteria, it was enough.

"Well, I originally planned to wait until everyone finished eating, but it doesn't really matter if we talk about it now."

"Because there is a young and promising prince from the barbarians in the northern part of the empire, and Teigu, who has the support of the remaining ministers, has now posed a great threat to the security of the empire."

"Ms. Alia entrusted me to solve this trouble. You all know my character. I heard that there is a battle to be fought. I definitely agreed without thinking about it."

"I didn't realize until I promised that I just accepted the appointment to be your chief. Since I'm going to settle the rebellion, someone must take over my job when I'm not around."

After finishing speaking, Estes looked around at everyone present for a week, and smiled brightly at Lan.

"I think you are quite suitable, Lan. How about it? Are you interested in being the acting captain for a period of time? I will come back within a month. If the prince's name is not true, it only takes half a month to come and go. enough time."

Hearing Esdeth's optimistic words, Lan didn't show much joy because of it, but smiled gently and said:

"For things like team leaders, you should listen to everyone's opinions."

After listening to Lan's words, although Abi had the intention to strive for the position of team leader, she had just set up a "Lan's little fan girl" personality set for herself, and it is obviously suspicious to directly break it now.

Moreover, the inner ghost turmoil has not passed. Now that Esdesi just said that he wants to leave, it is obviously very suspicious to take the initiative to fight for the position of captain.

So, she showed a sweet, flawless smile.

"I think Mr. Lan is very suitable!"

Everyone present, except for Heitong who was sitting next to Abi who snorted in displeasure, the other Hunter members agreed with Lan being the acting captain.

Among the people present, one counted as one, and most of them did not have the potential to be a leader. Dr. Fashion was the only one who was qualified to compete with Lan, but he had no interest in such unfashionable things.

Seeing this situation, Estes smiled and said:

"Then the matter is settled like this, the candidate for acting captain is..."

As long as Estes leaves, the risk of being exposed will be greatly reduced for a long time as the insider.

Thinking of this, Abby smiled sincerely.

However, before Estes finished speaking, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a cute boy walked in and whispered a few words in Estes' ear.

Estes immediately showed a look of surprise, she pondered for a while, and said the name that no one had imagined:

"Abigail Williams!"

"This is what I mean, who is for and who is against?"

In Esdeth's words, a thunderstorm flashed outside the window, drawing the prelude to the heavy rain.

.

Chapter 13 You are an undercover agent!

.

When he heard Esdeth spit out his name, Abby silently said the word "sense" in his heart without hesitation, and activated the skill effect of the ring of sanity that had just been turned.

Under the influence of absolute reason, Abby analyzed the events that happened today one by one, and finally came to the real purpose hidden under Esdesh's confusing behavior.

She suspected that she was an undercover agent, which was her temptation to herself.

So, she showed a business-like smile.
