Shatia was very guilty: "It was my fault that he was discovered, I didn't expect him to pay attention to Sebastian..."
"Don't worry about what has happened." Langdon said calmly, "Now we are thinking about how to remedy it. The good news is that the second prince didn't take it seriously and thought your brother was making excuses, so the only thing that needs to be solved is your brother. "
"Since he's under house arrest, as long as I don't walk up to him in person, it shouldn't matter, right?"
Langdon shook his head: "It's best to solve your royal brother's suspicion from the root cause. After all, the second prince came back to his senses and wanted to see your royal brother. I can't refuse it. It's not good if he says anything nonsense at that time." ... In this way, you can change the effect of your medicine."
Shatia: "...?"
Are you so cautious?What else should the medicine be replaced with?
As it turned out, Langdon was right to be cautious.
After all, Joshua didn't really collude with the demons. On the contrary, the demons coveted the information he possessed, and the second prince had been taking him in. In name, Langdon couldn't refuse the second prince to follow him. Joshua met.
So when the second prince arrived at night and said that there might be no chance in the future, after all, he had met Joshua for a drink and wanted to see if he had any explanations for the family members who were still in the Heka Empire, Langdon also agreed. No objection.
However, how can there be any friendship between the second prince and Joshua?
The second prince was just a little bit unwilling, and still wanted to try to set a routine, to see if he could get the sealed address before the temple.
Of course, he will be very careful, even if someone is listening, he will think that he is just kind enough to ask Joshua to explain earlier, maybe it can save the fatigue of the journey.
Joshua, who had been locked up all afternoon, was also very excited to see the second prince: "Your Highness, I really have nothing to do with the demons..."
"Okay, it doesn't matter if I know you. If it does, you're in the dungeon now... Don't be nervous, I'll find you for a drink."
In order to show his innocence, the second prince even asked Langdon's people to deliver the wine, even if the wine was mixed with [Divine Blood], he would admit it.
Mainly, the information about that seal is really important.
Part of the demon king's soul was sealed. I'm afraid even the temple that did this kind of thing didn't know what effect it would have on the demon king.
On the contrary, they, the awakened demons, felt the deepest.
Because the devil is equivalent to the center of the demons, all the demons can communicate and communicate through the spiritual link of the devil.
This is why it is difficult for foreigners to understand the cohesion and action of the Mozu, because the Mozu is a real family.
But now, although they know that the Demon King has been reincarnated, they have never felt the spiritual link from the Demon King, let alone contacting other Demon Races. That's why he and his staff have acted with each other for many years without knowing that they are actually compatriots. .
This made the second prince even more worried about the current state of the Demon King, and he naturally paid more attention to this seal.
Now is indeed the last chance. When it is handed over to the temple, and the temple gets information to get back the seal, then there will really be nothing wrong with the demons!
But the topic must not be so sensitive when it comes up, so the second prince still rambled for a while, and remembered the back view that Joshua said before, and asked casually: "So, did you really see the acquaintance?" Back view?"
Joshua stared in a daze at the person who came in pushing a cart with ice cubes, wine bottles and wine glasses, and fell silent involuntarily.
After he was sent to this room, he was probably worried about the presence of suspicious people. A maid came and asked him what the familiar person looked like, and then said that he would arrange people who were similar to the description nearby. If he saw To that person, welcome to report.
Although this cooperation seems to be based on the premise of suspecting that the person has something to do with the Demon Race, it can still be regarded as helping Joshua, so Joshua was very moved and wanted to quickly find out the deacon who dared to take his royal sister away Come.
The problem is, ever since he was locked in this room, he looked familiar to the old man who brought him food, the old gardener who trimmed his garden downstairs, and the one who came to deliver wine now...
There is no doubt that this is the effect of Langdon's new medicine for Shalltear.
Mixing a leaf into the forest is the best way to hide it. Since Joshua wants to dispel his suspicions, it is better to let him see that everyone looks a bit like Sebas than to prevent him from seeing Sebas.
This speed must be grasped well, it depends on Shalltear's ability to concoct the medicine, and she has to find a suitable reason, otherwise, so many familiar people in one breath, normal people will be suspicious.
Fortunately, under Langdon's plan, Joshua thought that Langdon was cooperating with him, so he didn't suspect it, but fell into self-doubt as Langdon wanted.
It can be seen that Grand Duke Stuart really wanted to help him find suspicious people, so many suspicious people were sent here.
...However, a Stuart Castle can have so many people who are similar to Sebas in either mouth, eyes, or back hair... Maybe the elderly are so difficult to identify, especially this kind of elderly in uniform People are more alike.
It must be because the night was too dark last night, and he was influenced by the second prince's repeated mention of Shatiya, so he wanted to find relevant clues so much that when he saw some familiar details, he acquiesced that he was the person he was looking for. It's just people who have a little resemblance.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that there is no fugitive who sneaked into the Grand Duke's castle. Seeing how cautiously the Grand Duke puts out [God's Blood] at the whole banquet, you know how difficult it is to be fooled!
So there must be something wrong with him who thought he could see Sebastian or Shalltear here!
Joshua was too embarrassed to explain the situation to the second prince, so, facing the second prince's question, Joshua could only say vaguely: "...No, I was wrong."
The second prince rolled his eyes in his heart.
He knows it!This guy can't count on it at all!Sure enough, I made it up because I thought he wanted to ask about the progress of finding someone!Now that I find that being locked up has nothing to do with that, it becomes a mistake again!
Although angry in his heart, the second prince could only grit his teeth and continue to talk when he thought that the poor devil king who had lost part of his soul was still waiting for him to save him.
"That's it, it's okay, that's not important, and you know, the matter of the Demon Race is more important now... You have been refusing to reveal the location of the seal before, maybe because you don't trust the Heka Empire, but you must always trust the temple Ah, I advise you to speak as soon as you can, don’t be stubborn, the saint just happens to be in Stuart Castle, if you want to speak, just speak here, maybe you can return to the Heka Empire..."
Obviously he is not a person with much willpower, but Joshua always refuses to talk about this topic.
"I really do not know."
The second prince said in his heart that I really believed in your evil, did you forget what you said when you were drunk?Interested in pretending now?
But on the surface, he could only persuade him to drink with a smile: "Forget it, drink, drink... wait, what's going on?!"
In the dark night, a flash of brilliant magic lighted up for a moment.
The second prince could tell that this was the reaction to the impact on the barrier.
Someone hacked?At this time?Is it the Mozu? !
Langdon, who was still working, of course also saw this magical reaction. After all, it was obvious that there were "fireworks" in Heitian.
The strange thing is, that direction is the main entrance, which assassin invaded from the main entrance and made such a big reaction? !
Langdon couldn't figure out what kind of operation this was, so he could only ask someone to check the situation in that direction immediately.
Bridget couldn't sit still anymore, and stood directly behind Langdon, guarding against possible enemies.
Fortunately, Langdon was delusional about being killed before, and after a few drills, someone came to report after a while.
"Report to the Duke, it's not an enemy attack." The guard said, "It's Miss Helena."
[ps: Jiageng, good night everyone~]
57. Princess and Helena (3k)
Hearing that name, Langdon had a moment of cardiopulmonary arrest.
He almost said "Isn't this an enemy attack!?" Fortunately, he returned to his senses quickly and did not show such a shameful side.
But...but how could it be Helena?
He was even worried that Helena was too familiar with the castle, so he deliberately detoured the patrol route to the exit of the secret passage. As long as Helena came out of the secret passage, he would be discovered immediately.
In the end, Helena didn't take the usual path, but went directly from the main entrance, and even made such a big commotion... What was she thinking? !
Langdon didn't even have the strength to complain, he could only take a deep breath, and then told the maid: "Go prepare the tranquilizer."
In any case, the sedative must be prepared first, so as to avoid any unexpected situation that no one wants to see.
And then... what else could he do?Of course, Helena can only be invited in properly!
Except for some ministers who live in the local area, many guests have not left, and they are waiting to attend his birthday party directly in two days. It is impossible for Helena to make such a big commotion that no one will notice. If he takes corresponding measures Not very good, it is very likely that these people will see the joke of family fighting.
He wanted to find Helena secretly before, hoping to keep a low profile on the matter between him and Helena, but as a result, Helena made a high-profile appearance...
what.
Langdon suddenly realized.
Could it be that Helena just didn't want him to deal with it in a low-key way, that's why she deliberately made a big news to let so many people know that she was coming?
Langdon couldn't help but support his forehead: "...Take her to the reception room, and see if she's the only one. Ask who brought her here."
After the guards took the order to leave, Langdon leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply.
What's going on these two days, did he commit a crime against Tai Sui recently?It was the reception of the mission, the exposure of the demons, the almost attack, the background of Xiatiya, and now Helena was added...however, everything came together.
Obviously, as long as he endures these few days, after his birthday, he can go back to the imperial capital and start school, but won't even these last few days make him feel better?
How lucky Langdon was when he left the imperial capital, and now he can't wait to go back.
After all, the factors that prompted him to leave the imperial capital... haven't most of them been concentrated in his principality! ! !
Since it's the same everywhere, he might as well go back to school, at least he can avoid the ministers' urging marriage!
Langdon sighed here and there, and Bridget was a little dazed.
After Langdon's mood stabilized a bit, Bridget asked cautiously, "Duke, Miss Helena... Is it your sister? Is there a bad relationship? Do you need me to do anything?"
"...how should I put it?" Langdon looked up at the only senior sister who could bring him warmth at present, and sighed, "Helena...she is ill, and her brain circuit is very strange, and I can't understand it at all. .”
People are very dependent on communication and communication. If you can know what the person opposite is thinking, you will naturally feel a sense of security, but if you not only don’t know, but you can’t even guess the train of thought, then anxiety will also arise.
If before Langdon would try to understand Helena's thoughts and make corrections, now he has completely given up this useless approach.
He just wanted Helena to take care of her illness.
Bridget asked, "Does the Duke not want to see her?"
"It's not so much that I don't want to see her, it's better to say that seeing me is not good for her condition." Langdon tried to save his respect, "I think it's meaningless to see her now, she still can't understand me, and I can't understand her , meeting will only cause conflict, right?"
Bridget nodded: "That's true, but Miss Helena came to the Duke's birthday party on purpose, right? We'll meet in the end, right? And I miss your birthday even when I'm sick... My mother often forgets It's my birthday."
Langdon: "...I will remember my senior's birthday, but the relationship between me and Helena is not so warm... Well, you will understand when the time comes."
Although Bridget seemed to be speaking for Helena, Langdon was not angry, and even showed a little affection - he felt that the senior was too naive.
There is a limit to people's imagination, and senior sister probably can't imagine that there is such a person as Helena in the world.
"Anyway, let's talk about it when people arrive." Langdon pressed his temple, "Ah—my parents died too early!"
This is not something he should be responsible for at all! ! !
Langdon had a splitting headache, and he only hoped that Helena would talk well this time and not get him about the high blood pressure.
After a while, the guard came running back.
Langdon was confused: "So fast?"
The scope of Stuart Castle is very large, this time is enough to go downstairs, right?
"No." The guard explained, "I just feel that I should report to you - after Her Royal Highness heard that Miss Helena is coming, she took the initiative to ask for a meeting. I would like to know whether the princess should be stopped?"
From the point of view of the guards, the matter between Miss Helena and the Duke can be regarded as an internal matter of the family. The princess... Uh, although she seems to be an outsider, recently he heard that the princess might become their future duchess...
So this is very difficult, don't embarrass him as a guard, Duke, you can see how to solve it yourself.
Langdon: "..."
Guard: "Duke?"
Langdon thought hard for a while and made a decision: "...Let them talk first, and call me after the chat."
Anyway, the princess is an elf mage, and he won't be at a disadvantage when facing Helena. He doesn't have to worry about the princess at all. Not to kill people openly.
Bridget couldn't help asking: "Is this really okay? Miss Helena is your sister, right?"
What's the matter with throwing it to Her Royal Highness the princess, it feels very injustice in all aspects!
"It's okay! I believe they will get along well!" Langdon said words that he didn't even believe, and gave the guard a look. "Go, tell the princess that I agree."
The guards went away again.
... Sure enough, even the duke could only back away from the war between the two women.
Alas, I heard that the old duke is very afraid of guilt, and I always feel that their little duke seems to be a bit of a sign, he is really his own father and son...
Bellatrix, who had obtained Langdon's permission, was sitting in the reception room, drinking tea leisurely, waiting for Helena's arrival.
She is not in a good mood today.
After she told Langdon Shatear and her deacon's plan yesterday, and seeing Langdon's reaction, she felt that there was a high probability that Langdon would agree to help Shatia. Gratitude is mixed with joy, a state full of positive emotions.
This made Bellatrix even more upset.
why?Can't Langdon leave Shalltear alone?To what extent does he want to be a good old man?Is there really such a fool as Langdon in this world?
Bellatrix really hoped to find out that Langdon actually had other motives for helping Shalltear, or that her interests were elsewhere, but she couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. , there is nothing worthy of help.
Langdon was there to help.
Then there is the Virgin Flora.
Bellatrix still remembered Langdon's indifferent attitude towards the saint when she first met the saint, and it didn't get any better a few days ago. As a result, there was a wave of accidents that she could have prevented last night. The atmosphere between Flora and Langdon has also become much better.
Bellatrix felt that she must have found out that she had actually assisted, which made the excitement that could have been watched gone, and that's why she was so depressed.
