In the tea room, Ilucia felt as if the air was freezing.
The entire tea room was in eerie silence. The black-robed messenger sitting opposite Ilucia had taken off his hood, but there was no expression on his delicate face.
In Ilucia's view, she is like a... doll. Although the workmanship is exquisite, it lacks that vivid feeling.
It's not a problem to remain in such a stalemate. Ilucia even suspected that if she didn't speak, the lovely person in front of her might sit there in silence until tomorrow morning.
There is no other way but to speak first.
Ilucia personally poured a glass of fruit wine produced in Stratholme for the envoy. This fruit wine actually did not have much alcohol at all and was a drink suitable for all ages.
"Miss Messenger, may I ask, is there anything important for you to come to visit me so late at night?"
Lilian glanced at the poured drink, and her cold voice spoke calmly, "I have been ordered to come to receive members of the Barov family and protect her safety in the coming time."
Ilucia was startled, still unable to react.
Sent by the Privy Council to protect him? This... this made Ilucia feel inexplicably ridiculous, as if the royal guards were protecting assassins with ulterior motives.
Could it be that the forces of natural disaster have penetrated into this violent organization?
However, there was not much time for Ilucia to think now, so she quickly responded based on her own experience and experience.
"Ah, thank you for coming. Then, if you don't mind, can I arrange for you to stay in the guest room?"
What Ilucia wants now is to get rid of the envoy of the Privy Council first. After all, she hasn't figured out what the situation is yet. She has to communicate with Dark Dean Gading first.
This was also something that made her very puzzling, that is why the Dark Dean did not tell her who she wanted to meet, but just vaguely said that it was a high-ranking person in Lordaeron.
So there are many possible characters flashing through Ilucia's mind, but this range is too broad, leaving Ilucia a little unclear as to what kind of person would be hooked up with the Scholomance Academy. Off the line.
However, now the Privy Council was suddenly involved, which made Ilucia immediately vigilant - she didn't know whether the person she wanted to meet had something to do with the Privy Council, or whether the Privy Council knew something about it. to monitor her whereabouts.
That's right, the Privy Council can be so direct. Even nobles can intervene in related affairs as long as they have the right reasons.
In other words, the people targeted by the Privy Council are basically those who have committed extremely heinous crimes and are even willing to seek power and usurp the throne.
No one knows what method the Privy Council uses to identify people's hearts, but their work is as meticulous as machines, and there is never a single mistake.
In the circle of nobles, this is no longer a secret. Ilucia even learned that many ambitious nobles have become good gentlemen in Lordaeron after the establishment of the Privy Council.
So she planned to observe the special envoy first and then think of a solution.
But after Lilian Vos heard Ilucia's arrangement, she emphasized, "I am ordered to personally protect your safety."
"Of course I know, so I want to ask you -" Ilucia had a habitual fake smile, but midway through her words, she suddenly realized something, "You mean... you want to talk to me Stay in a room?”
Lilian didn't speak this time, seemingly acquiescing to Ilucia's words.
Ilucia's smile almost couldn't be stretched, and she felt a little bit broken in her heart: This... what should I do? She has never heard of such a weird request!
Is a personal guard really a personal guard? ! The one who even sleeps together? !
After a brief shock, Ilucia tried to change Lilian's thoughts, "Ah... I understand that you hope to complete your mission successfully. How about I arrange a room next to mine for you?"
"Personal, guard."
For the first time, there was an expression on Lillian's face. She wrinkled her nose and emphasized the two words again in displeasure, her tone slightly aggravated.
Ilucia was in trouble again. Lilian simply refused to listen to any of her opinions. It was impossible to communicate with this kind of person. No matter how humble her attitude was and how charming her smile was, if the other party didn't listen, they just wouldn't listen. She insisted completely. My own opinion!
For the first time in her life, Ilucia felt that her twenty years of aristocratic cultivation and ladylike temperament were of no use.
In the end, under the stubborn gaze of the doll-like messenger Lilian Voss, Ilucia was completely defeated and could only agree to live in the same room with her.
However, when she actually returned to the room, she realized that her and Lillian's understanding of "living" might be somewhat different.
After entering Ilucia's room, Lilian's figure seemed to have been erased by an eraser and completely disappeared into the air. Ilucia's heart tightened and she quickly pretended to be surprised and asked. , "Miss Voss?"
Lilian's cold voice still replied to Ilucia, "I'm here."
This is tricky!
Ilucia blinked, and then she realized that the other party turned out to be a stalker who was proficient in the way of shadow. Lilian had now completely integrated into the shadow. Without special detection skills, it would be difficult for ordinary people to Discover her.
Ilucia does know some anti-invisibility magic, but it is not a spell that can be used instantly, and her use of such magic for no reason will definitely arouse Lilian's vigilance.
"It's broken... In this case, I have no idea where she is in the room, so it's impossible for me to contact Gading..."
Ilucia climbed into bed, but she was quite troubled in her heart. It seemed that the little girl from the Privy Council would be on guard in the coming days, and it would be difficult for her to find a chance to contact Gadin.
However, Ilucia also wanted to understand one thing at this time. Gading did not tell him in advance who he was going to visit, maybe because it didn't matter who he was visiting...or maybe he didn't know who it was?
Otherwise, with Gading's behavior, he would definitely tell himself the main content in advance. Otherwise, even if he is used as a chess piece or even abandoned, he will not even know who the person he wants to meet will greatly reduce the chance of success of the mission. ?
Thinking like this, Ilucia gradually calmed down. She thought for a moment and asked aloud, "Miss Voss, I would like to take the liberty to ask, which Lordaeron person wants to see me?"
However, all Ilucia responded to was the sound of wind and the chirping of insects outside the window.
