His original intention was to remind her that the family should draw a clear line with Chapman as soon as possible.
But Geli seemed to be threatened by him, and became angry irrationally.
"It's none of your business. It's enough for you to go back and please your Chris." After that, she turned around and left.
However, not far away, she stopped hesitantly.
"...Last time you got more than one account book. Also, the magician is dead."
After saying these two sentences, she didn't look back.
Tuliu Weien stayed where he was with a slightly confused expression.
"What does it mean that the magician is dead?"
…
The evidence against Chapman was revealed more and more each time.
The entire kingdom was shaken by his heinous crime.
The people were so excited that even the beggars on the roadside learned to curse them every day in order to get more rewards, seemingly forgetting the difference in status.
The king finally ordered the city guards to arrest Earl Chapman and imprison him in a dungeon, and set up a special investigation team determined to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Even Duke Elliot, who has never been involved in such incidents, specially submitted a self-defense statement, claiming that the rumors of collusion between himself and Chapman were all false, and begged His Majesty the King to seek justice.
For a time, all the princes and nobles involved by Chapman were in a state of panic and panic.
The weather is getting colder, and before you know it, there is already a chilling atmosphere in the capital.
Wayne sat in the study, waiting for Elliot to bring back the latest news from the palace.
After a while, Elliot, who had just stepped into the house, walked into the study.
"The top person in charge of this investigation team is Bulwer." He said lightly, "There is also an adjutant who is more unexpected, and he is Stuart's special envoy Simon."
Wayne was silent for a long time without speaking.
It seems that the worst situation that I expected has happened.
When he released the evidence as Echos, he deliberately screened it, and neither Bulwer nor Franz were exposed by him.
But because he split the clues and did not directly show the original account books, even if some people were missing, it would not be so eye-catching.
This was done to test the real person in charge while leaving a backup plan.
Now he got his answer.
It is difficult to explain His Majesty's arrangement as being out of good intentions.
And in these days, many of the tainted witnesses who were released by him have died for unknown reasons.
"If you fall out with the king, will your title be taken away?" Wayne asked.
The profound meaning is self-evident.
"Not anytime soon."
Hearing his disrespectful remarks, Elliot didn't even show a trace of surprise on his face. "But, this is just the beginning."
"Under the recommendation of Franz, His Majesty the King met with Simon yesterday, and the two had a pleasant conversation."
As he spoke, Elliot walked back to the main seat behind the desk and sat down.
"The detailed content of the conversation cannot be found out, but today His Majesty the King appointed Simon as the deputy leader of this investigation team in court without any discussion with anyone." He stated without distinguishing between joy and anger, " The reason is that the foreigner from Stuart is unfamiliar with the place in the royal capital and has nothing to do with other local forces."
Wayne glanced at the corner of his mouth.
He obviously had a lot of personal involvement with Franz, and judging from his own behavior, it didn't look like he had never been to Lownes before.
"It's the worst news among the bad news for us." Wayne mused, "But...aren't there any ministers who object to appointing a foreigner to take charge of such an important responsibility?"
As a king, George II could not do whatever he wanted.
Aristocracy is inherently capable of exchange of interests. If the relationship between all parties is not properly balanced, even the king will capsize miserably.
Elliot shook his head.
"With Chapman's incident in front of them, they were afraid of being labeled as an accomplice, so most of them kept silent."
"In addition, His Majesty announced the decision in front of the court, which meant that it could not be questioned. Many people did not realize that the meeting was over."
He smiled and said, "Maybe even now, some people still mistakenly think that Simon will take our side in the investigation because of your relationship with Raphael..."
That's a little too outrageous.
It's easier to say about Bulwer. Although he has a handle on Chapman, the handle he got caught by himself is obviously greater.
Simon is more difficult to deal with, and Wayne still hasn't figured out where his inexplicable hostility comes from.
"In addition, His Majesty also tactfully warned me to ask Ye Ye Publishing House to stop directing public opinion on the case."
Elliot's expression seemed relaxed, and he didn't know if he really had everything under control.
Tsk…
The king's insight was much sharper than he thought.
But yes, as soon as this kind of thing appears, its influence will be discovered sooner or later.
"Father, I want to meet Simon alone again." Wayne said.
Since I can't find new ideas through other channels, I might as well have a face-to-face meeting with him, maybe I can find some clues.
"I'll go with you." Elliot took the initiative to show concern. "His magic power is much stronger than yours. If something special happens, you won't be able to escape even if you want."
"..."
It seems that he was underestimated.
But on some levels, Duke Elliot is quite conscientious.
"By the way, is there really no impression of Simon or anything similar to him in my father's memory?" He confirmed again, "Maybe he didn't have this name before, and his appearance was different from what he looks like now."
"No," Elliot said firmly.
But he quickly added: "But I have met too many people in my life. If it was just a stranger I met by chance many years ago, I might have forgotten it."
...It's like saying it in vain.
Wayne cursed secretly.
In any case, since this man named Simon had not appeared before and was only now involved in the affairs of the Wenche family, he was probably ready to take action.
And often the moment when it takes action is also the moment when its own flaws are greatest.
It is enough for him to just stay prepared.
Under the bright light of the study, Wayne and Elliot discussed the specific plan late at night.
The next day, when Wayne hurriedly put on his coat and prepared to go out with Elliot, Chrissy looked at them with confusion.
"Where are you going?" She stretched out her hand to block the door in a strange way.
As soon as the first sentence was finished, the second sentence came out completely subconsciously.
"I also need to go!"
