After completing his mission, Kang Si did not stay long and quickly left.
With the bounty in hand, Valeera began to arrange an investment plan that would ensure a profit without losing any money.
She found Butler Dawei and assigned him two tasks——
Find a reliable manor deacon to take over the Meige Manor; and hire a team of lawyers and accountants to investigate the situation of Caoyim Company.
Butler David made a suggestion on the spot:
"Mr. Geary's valet is the most suitable person to serve as steward of the manor."
Under normal circumstances, what he said is actually correct, but Admissor is an Beyonder trained by Valeera. Wouldn't it be too unworthy to be sent to the countryside to manage the manor?
This suggestion was of course not adopted.
He then nominated Burton.
Valeera secretly praised the butler's precise gaze in her heart, while rejecting the proposal again.
This is my reserve force and cannot be touched.
In the end, Butler Dawei had no choice but to say that he needed time to find a suitable candidate.
Except for the two people he nominated, there are no other candidates who are qualified for this position in the current servant team.
In the afternoon, a dark and thick carriage parked on the roadside outside the courtyard gate.
There is a pattern engraved on a conspicuous place of the carriage. The main body is a sword pointing vertically downward. There is a red crown on the handle of the sword. This is the "Sword of Judgment" coat of arms representing the royal Augustus family.
A middle-aged and elderly gentleman who was dressed meticulously got out of the carriage and rang the doorbell on the courtyard door with his right hand wearing a white glove.
He was Prince Edsac's butler and was ordered to invite Valeera to the Red Rose Manor on the outskirts of Queens.
Valeela happily accepted the invitation and boarded the carriage with her personal maid Liya.
In fact, although this invitation was the prince's own will, there was also an element of Valeera's deliberate temptation in it.
She needs a reason to break away from her current life and take a quick trip.
The furnishings inside the carriage are much more luxurious than they appear from the outside.
The bottom is covered with a thick brown carpet, and there is a table in front of the seat by the window on one side; on the other side of the carriage, a wooden cabinet connected to the carriage is filled with items such as red wine and white wine. , champagne, Ronzi, Blackland and other high-end drinks, as well as crystal-polished wine glasses.
Valeera sat across from the main seat, opened the curtains halfway, and asked Liya to pour her a glass of red wine.
"This is the red wine produced by Red Rose Manor. It is the best batch. His Royal Highness also likes it very much."
The butler sitting on the other side not only did not stop Valeera from making her own decisions, but also introduced her with a smile.
During the journey for more than half an hour, Valeera tasted wine and admired the scenery along the way. At the same time, she was thinking about how to lead the conversation and rarely took over Jia's words.
There are guards at the entrance of the manor, two soldiers wearing white trousers and red military uniforms.
Of course, Valeela would not need to be tested.
The carriage went directly through the gate and sent Valeela to the main house, which was a wide lawn with hills and water, and was also a golf course.
Edsack is playing ball.
After sending Valeera to the prince, the housekeeper bowed and retired, while Liya and several of the prince's attendants stayed outside to provide services at any time.
Play ball, ride horses.
Valeela had a pretty good time.
She controlled her expression very well, being happy but not happy enough. She showed that she wanted to hide it but couldn't hide it completely. She showed a vague look of concern and difficulty in making a decision.
This kind of expression can only be said to be understood.
Of course, Edsack had no intention of exposing it.
While fulfilling his obligations as a master and accompanying Valeera on her play, he secretly admired her moving expression.
】
After afternoon tea, Valeela asked to leave.
Edsac also felt that the first invitation was ready, so he asked the butler to take Valeela back to Williams Street.
After returning to her residence, Valeera finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After performing high-intensity performances for several hours, she felt mentally exhausted.
But the effort is worth it——
With this trip to the manor as a base, she had a legitimate reason to travel and relax.
As for where to travel on vacation?
That is of course around Tingen, such as the small town of Vinia.
Not long after returning from Red Rose Manor, Valeera found the housekeeper Kana and asked her to go to Backlund University to ask for leave for her. She would go out to relax tomorrow.
This is a great smokescreen.
People standing on the first floor will think about her experience of playing in the manor; people standing on the second floor will think further. Tingen has her close classmates.
Valeera herself stood on the third floor.
In fact, she did not carry out her original intention of hiding herself and went to Tingen to get close to Klein. Her ultimate goal was this——
She was going to try to intervene in the outcome of the Tingen incident.
She felt very guilty for accidentally killing Corvo, the "Punisher", and wanted to do something to make amends.
Finally she decided to try to save some of Tingen's Nighthawks.
Otherwise, even if she was in Tingen, she could completely avoid the incident and still be able to complete her plan to break away from the Witch Sect.
The means for Valeela to achieve her goal was to get close to and influence Crane.
Therefore, she became Crane’s “girlfriend” with whom he had no clear relationship.
Although some things went beyond her expectations, overall the development of the situation should still be within the framework of her control, and the arrangements she left behind probably took effect——
She forged a page in Russell's diary to prevent Old Neil from losing control;
She provided the "Joker" potion, which prevented Klein from revealing the "acting method". In addition, Mrs. Sharon was killed in advance, which should have prevented the death of Cohen and the arrangement of Dunn swallowing the characteristics;
Finally, and the hardest thing to change, is Dunn Smith’s ending.
Although Valeela had made some preparations, she still wasn't sure, so she could only try her best.
…
The next morning, Valeela took the steam train in the direction of Tingen, taking Liya and Lydia with her.
Not many people got off the bus in Vinia Town. Valeela secretly paid attention and wandered around the town in many places before it got dark, but found no official Beyonders who were suspected of following them.
It was not until night that she revealed some of the truth to her two followers.
Valeela told the two of them that she would go to Tingen tomorrow and asked them to stay here and wait.
Of course, she revealed a little more to Lydia, saying that she had received a letter asking for help and wanted to help and rescue a companion.
It took Valeera a moment to convince Lydia to give up the idea of her peers helping.
Have a night's rest.
In the early morning, when it was still dark, Valeera changed her appearance and left the hotel room.
She boarded the earliest train and headed towards the end of the Tingen incident.
