While she was still hesitating, she felt a small, smooth hand grabbing her wrist silently.

"Why don't you go in?"

In this world, there is only one person who can make her let go of all vigilance and make the instincts she has cultivated in her long career as a killer lose their effectiveness.Feeling the familiar touch, the golden darkness shook his arm, broke away from the hand, and then held it in the palm of his hand.

"Aria."

"So, what's the matter with you?"

Aria also let her hold.Since the quarrel that day, she felt that her girlish heart was severely trampled, and she never spoke a word to Golden Darkness.Obviously in the middle of the cold war, but seeing the golden darkness hovering at the door with a helpless look, she couldn't help but stepped forward to talk to her.

"Although I don't know what your plan is, but no matter what, if you don't appear on the stage, you can't use it, right?"

"I'm a little hesitant." Golden Darkness took a step closer to Aria, and the breath from her made her feel at ease and peaceful, "Your Excellency Lilith entrusted me with everything, and let me inherit her long-cherished wish , her will, but now I have doubts..."

She is doubting whether these humans are worthy of Lilith's contribution, and she is doubting whether these humans are worthy of being "led" by.

"Wait, wait! Didn't you say that you couldn't tell me in detail?"

Aria's eyes widened. It's impossible to say that she didn't care about the words and deeds of the golden darkness on the day of the funeral. In fact, she still broods about it until now: even the incredible secret of "not belonging to this world" You have confessed to me, what is there between us that cannot be shared?

"Huh? Ah...I remembered."

Golden Darkness froze for a moment, then remembered that in order to avoid a direct meeting between Sherlock and Aria that day, she had indeed used such an excuse to send Aria away.

"What does 'remembered' mean!"

Aria was in a hurry, thanks to the fact that she had been sad for so long because of Golden Darkness's words, in the end, this guy didn't realize what he had done too much, and she didn't take her to heart at all!

"You have to give me an explanation later, no, I want it now! Now! Immediately! Immediately—"

"I met Sherlock Holmes."

Golden Darkness obediently bowed to Aria who was in a rage.

"……what?"

"I saw Xia—uh!"

Thinking that she didn't hear clearly, the golden darkness wanted to repeat it again, but only half of the sentence was spoken, and the rest of the sentence was covered back in the mouth by the flustered Aria.

First, I looked around, and Aria, who found nothing unusual, then quietly pressed her ear to the door of the meeting room, and the noise was as usual.After finally confirming that no one was spying on the conversation between the two of them, Aria breathed a sigh of relief, and then squeezed out an expression that she thought was rather fierce, and scolded the golden darkness who suddenly became very well-behaved in a low voice: " Are you an idiot? Can such a thing be said on this occasion!?"

"No, no, no."

Warm and damp breath spewed on Aria's palm, a strange itching sensation made Aria's whole body shudder, and the high aura quickly deflated like a punctured balloon, a little soft Moved her hand away, the girl's voice was as soft as a cake.

"Then why didn't you tell me then?"

It would make her feel like a fool for being depressed for so long because of a misunderstanding, a concealment.

"Can you face him?"

Aria was dumbfounded.

"...Then why are you telling me now?"

"Because he has already left." Golden Darkness was very frank, "Even if I tell you now, there is nothing you can do."

"Am I that untrustworthy!?"

Although she is so stubborn, in fact, Aria herself also understands that if she confronted the great-grandfather she admired the most, she might really lose control.

The golden darkness just looked at her with tolerance and a little pampering eyes.

"What, what, this look..."

The voice of Aria's resistance became smaller and smaller, and the girl turned her head away with some embarrassment. She was worried that if she continued to look directly into her eyes, she would involuntarily fall under her gentle gaze.

……

"I said, you two, no matter how good your relationship is, please pay attention to the time and occasion, please?"

Merle, who managed to catch up with Aria's footsteps, couldn't help but rolled her eyes, feeling that she, who was still single so far, had suffered a huge amount of critical damage.

Shadow of the End, Volume 187: Chapter 86 Chapter [-] Meeting

"Then, let's get started."

Words and deeds are strictly in the tradition of England, even the most stern court master of ceremonies can not find a flaw in it.Standing in front of the stage and bearing the almost scrutinizing eyes of those high-level people around, it was rare for Mellie, who was wearing a formal suit, to look at herself with ease.

"I am the initiator and moderator of the meeting, Merliet Holmes."

Although according to her age and seniority, it should not be a junior like Mellie who presided over the meeting, but her identity is too special: regardless of the special status of the name "Holmes" in England, just say "" "Meluette" herself, she was not only the chief staff appointed by the late Prince Charles, but she was still active as a staff member in the command center formed with Lilith as the core.

"It's an honour--"

The elegant and serious female voice suddenly froze, and the eyebrows that Meloette had specially drawn slightly frowned. The manuscript in her hand was prepared by the staff at the next level. In less than half a month, it seemed as if All the contradictions broke out suddenly and intensively. In order to deal with these matters, she was really busy. She even took a first look at the speech draft prepared by the staff officers.The lengthy, flowery rhetoric but no practical meaning of social rhetoric may be very good to the taste of the new and old nobles present, but...

She raised her head and looked towards the corner of the room, as if sensing her gaze, the golden darkness calmly raised her eyelids.

"..."

Mellie pursed her lips.

But there are bound to be people who don't like this.

Calmly putting the speech in her hand back on the table, Mellie closed her eyes and let out a long breath. When she opened them again, the nobles in the audience were surprised to find that her whole person's aura had changed. There have been earth-shaking changes.

"Why we gathered here, I believe everyone here already understands very well. Due to the urgency of the situation, there is no more time for us to hesitate and wait, so let's get straight to the point."

"Wait, wait, Miss Holmes!" The master of ceremonies stood up helplessly, waving his arms in a panic.Although there were two Miss Holmes present, everyone knew who the "Holmes" he was referring to, "It's against the rules—"

"Rules won't save Britain, manners won't save Britain."

If Mellie was like a noble and elegant cat before, now she is like a proud lion cub, her gaze is full of undeniable coldness and arrogance.

In fact, this is not at all like her original character, maybe her original character is also extremely aggressive, but at least she will not show her hostility on the surface in such a tit-for-tat manner.

"But--"

"To shut up."

The master of ceremonies seemed to want to say something else, a chilly breath spread from somewhere in the room, which should be invisible, but slowly and powerfully climbed up his ankles and calves like a real snake. his body.As the two words that seemed to be real exploded in the air, the cold air that wrapped around his body suddenly burst, and this kind of coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow made him almost unable to breathe.

The golden darkness leaning against the corner rebuked indifferently, and glanced coldly at the master of ceremonies who was trembling and retreating uncontrollably, and she looked at Meluette.

"continue."

From the standpoint of the master of ceremonies, it is his duty to stop all behaviors that violate etiquette. He did nothing wrong, but Golden Darkness never cared about these things. Her limited and weak feelings have been suppressed by that one. People are all occupied, and she really can't tell the extra emotion to care about whether the world is right or not.

Waiting very patiently for the end of this brief confrontation, Merle nodded, which was regarded as a response to the golden darkness.

"The purpose of this meeting." Mellie continued her speech, "is to discuss whether the deceased princess Lilith Charles Mountbatten Windsor has rebelled."

"This audio file was sent directly to the staff department by an anonymous person, and then the chief of staff personally delivered it to me. I believe that everyone has received this file, and they all have at least one copy of the same file in their hands. "

Mellie showed off the mobile hard drive in his hand, and then inserted it into the interface of the laptop placed on the conference table. After a while of operation, a sound sounded from the stereo.

【What do you want, witch? 】

【Have I made it very clear?I……】

The supposedly top-secret conversation between a man and a woman was converted and saved as a slightly distorted electronic sound through the modulation and analysis of electrical signal functions, and was captured by everyone present.

"Based on the content of the conversation, one of the two people in the recording is the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Hardmon, and the other is the witch [Oleander] to which [I·U] belongs."

This is the proof that many of you here have been waiting for.

"The conversation took place three days before Miss Lilith was assassinated."

While Melliet was giving a brief explanation, the recording continued to play.

[...Mr. Hardmond, during your reign, you took advantage of your position to transfer state property to private accounts totaling 30 pounds. I have already deducted the fraction for you. Do you admit this fact? 】

【So, what exactly do you want?money?Power?or a man?State your purpose, witch. 】

【very good. 】

Even if it's just a virtual electronic sound, everyone can hear the pride in that "Oleander" tone.

【Then, resign, Mr. Hardmond. 】

……

"The recording ends here." Mellie closed the computer, "After His Excellency Hardmond resigned as the Minister of Finance, Lilith quickly took measures to recover the financial power that was originally in the hands of the Hardmond Group. I have a lot of audio files similar to those shown in this recording, which involve power transactions in various fields such as the military, diplomacy, and media, so I won’t show them one by one.”

"So, what can these things explain?" The high-level executive who had been defending Lilith before the meeting started retorted with a sneer, "This kind of anonymous document, this kind of waste that hides its head and shows its tail, and dare not even dare to use its real name, can Explain what?"

"Watch your tone, sir."

Raising his hand to suppress the scolding of the senior by the staff beside him, Mellie's expression was very calm.

"At least it opened up the possibility that Lilith Charles Mountbatten Windsor had betrayed our country."

"And today, we're here because of that possibility."

Volume 188 The Shadow of the End: Chapter 87 Chapter [-] Meeting ([-])

"What else is there to say? Everything is already clear. Her Highness Lilith, whom you admire and trust, has colluded with [I·U]'s witch and forced Lord Hardmond to surrender his power, thus To achieve the purpose of centralization."

The person who spoke now was probably a member of the opposition. This man had a cold sneer on his face, and the words he spit out were as deadly as a blade.

"It should be some kind of agreement reached with that witch, but on the eve of the upcoming success, because of his dirty greed, he chose to violate the contract with the witch, thus ruining his life. I think, it is probably this Kind of an ugly, uninteresting show."

"Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words." Meloit frowned and interrupted his speech, "This is not a parliament where you insult each other and attack each other. I have no intention of changing your views and opinions, but at least, please respect deceased."

"Respect the dead——" I was going to sneer to deal with it, but the man who spied a figure from the corner of his eye suddenly trembled, and his original tough tone softened inexplicably, "Okay, I apologize for my radical remarks , but I still stand by my point of view.”

"Your point of view is nothing more than an absurd conclusion drawn backwards from an assumption that you think is correct. Electronic audio can be synthesized, documents can be faked, and the voice of Her Royal Highness Lilith can also be imitated. These so-called evidences, It's of no value at all."

"You are really stubborn." The man's face, which had softened slightly because of the retreat just now, became harsh again, and he stared gloomyly at the guy who had been contradicting himself since before the meeting started, " You are just sophistry."

"I'm trying to reason with you!"

"you!--"

"Okay, let's stop for a while."

Nausea.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control again, Mellie spoke in time to stop a meaningless dispute that was about to start.

"What he said is not unreasonable. To convict a former crown prince and former leader for such a serious crime as treason, this level of evidence is indeed not enough."

gross.

This meaningless and hypocritical speech caused Meloette to feel a strange sense of dizziness. The moment the words rolled off her lips, she almost thought that she would just spit it out in such a disgusting way: This is not at all. Own!She is not someone who can speak such beautiful scenes at all!She is a detective, a ghost to haunt the dead, a ghost to pull the truth from the grave, not a politician.

"not enough."

she repeated again.

Not enough, what she did was not enough.

The previous scene and the present scene, no matter which scene it is, are all scripts written by Lilith; whether it is the two people in the dispute, or herself as the mediator, they are just actors in her repertoire.

Although she went against her own heart to cater to the performances of those two people, it was not enough, because the one who could end all farce, tragedy, and bring about the end of everything still stood there completely indifferent.

……

"Eve?"

The high-level people on the conference table are still arguing over the same issue, and the red-faced look makes it hard to believe that this is the most honorable group in the whole of England.However, Aria was not at all interested in this rare sight—whether she was proud of herself or lost her composure, and she no longer cared about everything about her motherland as early as the day she learned the truth about her mother's imprisonment .Compared to those, she cares more about what the golden darkness is thinking now.

"what happened to you?"

"Aria."

Jin Zhian turned her head and looked carefully at the face of her "best friend". That face had a tall nose bridge, a three-dimensional outline, and all the beauty and beauty that a European and American should have. Suddenly, she found that, It turned out that those ugly guys around were really the same species as Aria.

"Your compatriots, do you want to save them?"
