"I think……"
Elliot was about to reply, but then something suddenly occurred to him, and his words suddenly changed.
"Why should I tell you what I think?"
So, he also followed Franz's example, raised his head proudly, put on a disdainful expression, and strode out of the palace without even looking at him.
"This, this Zhuzi is too deceiving!"
Franz was so angry with him that he looked angry until he got home.
Under the turmoil of many thoughts, he felt uncomfortable sitting and standing.
"Somebody come!"
He finally couldn't help but ring the bell in the study, called the housekeeper in the house, and said in a deep voice: "Organize the bodyguards at home, and go out to meet the young lady first!"
The housekeeper was startled, and said with slight hesitation: "But... the house has not received any news now, and we don't know where the young lady and the others are."
"I don't know where they are... Then won't you wait at the city gate?!" Franz glared at him fiercely.
"Ah, yes, yes, the master is right!" The housekeeper suddenly realized.
When Geli returned home with quite complicated emotions, he saw his father who already had some wrinkles on his forehead.
As the head of the family, he always had a lot to worry about. As the daughter of the Edgeworth family, she should have tried her best to share his worries.
But--
"Singing ceremony." Even though the court already knew that she was fine, Franz still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter appearing in front of him intact.
But he quickly asked what happened to Song Li on the road.
"I heard... you are safe this time thanks to that boy from the Winche family?" When he said this, Franz's face looked uncertain.
Song Li paused.
"Um."
She really didn't want to mention that person again, but since her father asked, she had to answer.
Hearing this, Franz frowned. "Please tell me in detail."
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Geli had no choice but to repeat what happened last night using words that were as objective as possible and without any personal feelings.
"In this way, the most crucial help is the wind magician."
After extracting this important information, Franz felt as if he had put down a huge stone in his heart. "so far so good……"
The current situation seems to be slightly better than the message he received in the palace.
Noticing that his daughter was looking at him in confusion, Franz cleared his throat and explained: "If only that boy from the Wincher family can turn the tide, then all the families behind you will definitely accept his favor and grant him the same status. Comparable returns..."
"Do you know how big a force this is?"
He sneered, "If the Duke is serious, he can even take this opportunity to win over a large number of military nobles and push his own boys to take over the power in the army step by step..."
Listening without saying a word, Ge Li suddenly felt a little chilled in his heart.
For some reason, what she had said to him in the music classroom that day suddenly came to her mind again.
"—I feel like classmate Wayne has the potential to become a great traitor."
At that time, this is what I said.
What was that guy's first reaction when he heard this statement that would only make most people feel terrified?
he--
He seemed to be in a good mood and laughed.
As if this sentence were a great compliment.
At that time, were the emotions he showed so naturally true or false? Wrapped in that harmless body, what did he really want?
The figure that once made him feel gradually familiar was now becoming increasingly blurry in his mind.
Franz thought for a while and said: "I will ask His Majesty the King to reward the strong man who showed up last, so as to dilute the merits of the Wenche family boy."
"As for your side, first, in the name of the Edgeworth family, issue additional pensions to the injured and injured guards and teachers."
Franz made a quick decision.
The incident has returned to a familiar track. Such evasive operations have always been my specialty.
Franz thought somewhat proudly.
His Majesty the King... may not be willing to see the younger members of the Wenche family still be able to achieve great success in the next few decades.
…
Duke of Winche's Palace.
At this time, Elliot was also discussing with the children.
"Judging from your description, that strong man looks a bit like an old friend I know. However, he has been away from the royal capital for fifteen years, and no one in the world has found his whereabouts."
"But, if the other person is really the person I know... I think he was probably entrusted by His Majesty the King to accompany the two princes specially."
"Because a long time ago, he owed the royal family a promise."
Wayne couldn't help but wonder: "Just used it hastily in such a scene?"
Aren’t the top experts generally the ones who keep the bottom of the box? The kind who won't show up in a war to destroy the country.
"Don't be hasty. As Prince Richard is widely loved by the people and has an undisputed position as the first heir, if something unfortunate happens, there will definitely be a large-scale turmoil in the kingdom."
Elliot said flatly.
"Could this be what the assassins wanted?"
Wayne thought about it for a while and finally identified one point that he was extremely concerned about. "The person who calls himself 'Black Face' has a very strange tone when he mentions Qingxi Academy. He is not at all respectful of the name of the academy like the general public. I very much suspect that behind them, there is most likely someone from Support from other countries.”
"Other countries... it's not impossible, but in that case, the incident will become more complicated." Elliot turned and walked towards the study.
Only then did Wayne notice that there was actually a map of the situation of various countries in the Western Continent.
I don’t know when it was hung up.
"The entire continent has maintained a general peace for decades. And over the years, the various forces have generally achieved a balance. Logically speaking, no one should want to change the situation..."
——I'm sorry, father-in-law, but I really want to change the situation.
Classmate Venn, who can be said to have betrayed his own class, also followed Elliot's gaze and turned his attention to this map of the situation in various countries.
"So……"
Wayne asked softly: "What if any party thinks it has gained an extra advantage?"
Elliot fell silent.
After a long time, he spoke again.
"Wayne..."
There was a rare hesitation and hesitation in his voice.
It could be seen that he thought deeply before deciding to say the next words.
"I hope you can take the initiative to express to His Majesty the King...and pass the credit for this incident to other students. Are you willing?"
Although the tone was solicitous, the profound meaning contained in it was very clear.
Even Chris, who had just been quietly listening to the exchange between the two, couldn't help but objected: "Why?!"
"You can prevent those people from coming to thank you, but you can never give away what you deserve!"
