When Ms. Moon went to work wearing red makeup, the Queen had to leave the salvage team and close it.
She returned to the palace in despair. She didn't even eat dinner and locked herself in the bedroom alone.
Even the Queen's most trusted maid, Julia Kent, did not dare to disturb her at this time.
Yulia stood in front of the messenger and conveyed her order: "Send the order and have someone go to the port to dispatch a professional salvage team and ask them to come over during the day tomorrow for salvage. The body of Father Ryan must be salvaged." Come up. Got it!"
"Yes! Ms. Kent!"
The messengers took the order to leave, called the city gate open all night, and rushed to the eastern harbor.
"Butler Aibok!"
"I'm here, Ms. Kent."
"From now on, the palace refuses all visitors. The queen will not see visitors for three days, and any arrangements will be postponed. Urgent matters can be handed in by you, and I will judge them before they can be handed over to the queen. Understand!"
"Got it, sure ma'am!"
After receiving the order, Steward Aibok led the people to the palace gate. He is expected to be on duty there tonight.
Logically speaking, a housekeeper has a higher position than a maid.
He had no choice but to disobey Yulia's orders.
But Julia Kent is not only the head maid, she is also the queen's confidant, and she is also the countess of the kingdom with fiefs and armed forces.
Speaking of her title is quite dramatic.
As the eldest daughter of the Kent family, Julia was originally unable to inherit the title. Instead, she wanted to consolidate the family's power and marry into other noble families.
But she ran away overnight because she didn't want to get married, and accidentally became the maid of the young Princess Elizabeth.
From then on, he stayed with Elizabeth Tudor for more than thirty years.
But more than ten years ago, the princess ascended the throne and became the queen. She also followed the rising tide and naturally wanted to return to her hometown in glory.
Unexpectedly, she discovered that all members of her family had been killed by the family of the person she was escaping from, and even occupied the Kent family's assets and the Kent family's territory, Kent Province.
The angry Julia used the queen's order to mobilize all the neighboring lords around Kent Province to encircle and suppress the enemies who occupied Kent Province.
She even personally killed the man who claimed to be her husband and occupied the Kent family.
In the end, he took the man's head and brought in the army to eradicate the man's family, and divided the family's assets and territory among the various nobles who came to support him.
Afterwards, the Queen found out about this, and instead of blaming Julia for using her warrant privately, she ordered that Julia Kent inherit the title of the Kent family and become a young countess.
At that time, Yulia could be said to be one of the most popular marriage partners in the aristocratic circle.
Unfortunately, the countess was disappointed with her marriage and only adopted a collateral child as an heir and raised her in a manor in Kent, while she continued to serve as the queen's head maid.
Over the years, she has solved problems for the Queen. The private army in her territory is not so much the Kent family's private army as it is the Queen's personal armed force!
According to the results of the investigation by the nobles, the mysterious cavalry in Kent Province, which nominally belongs to the Kent family, only obeys the orders of Julia Kent.
The Kent's grown-up adopted son could not even approach the cavalry station, let alone command them.
On the contrary, when the queen suppressed the nobles and ministers who opposed her, the shadow of that army often appeared.
Therefore, no one dared to regard Julia Kent as an ordinary head maid.
Instead, treat her as the queen's sword to the outside world!
A flawless knife that only obeys the Queen's orders!
Butler Aibok knew this and had already positioned himself in the right position.
In the palace, the queen is the eldest, followed by the head maid, Ms. Kent. Then there are the powerful knight captains.
Finally, there is him, the dispensable butler.
Just when the palace went on tight alert and turned away visitors.
The children of the monastery were also frightened.
A series of changes in the past two days have made the remaining people uneasy.
Nok was called away by the Queen, which made them even more worried.
But after Nok's accident, no one in the palace thought of these little guys at all.
They also had no ability to inquire about the palace.
They didn't even know that Alan Covert and Sherlock Holmes had left the palace early and returned home.
Su Lina, who had been a neighbor who had been lurking around Nok for many years, heard the news and brought them dinner. After having dinner with them, she told them to lock the door before leaving.
Su Lina didn't say much more, let alone an easily exposed lie like "Nok was left in the palace overnight".
What outsiders don't know is that as a spy who has been secretly monitoring and protecting Nok, Su Lina knows very well that the children in the monastery are very smart.
Especially Crowell, the slippery man, has a cunning that is completely inconsistent with his appearance.
Su Lina didn't dare to bet on whether this kid would hear something wrong in her lies and then see through her lies.
Anyway, there was no order from her superiors, so she could just continue to be the proprietress of her bakery. There was no need to take the risk of exposing her identity.
Nok was not recovered from the palace moat, and he did not return to the monastery.
So where is Nok at this time?
Did he really die at the bottom of the river?
of course not.
At this time, Nok was lying in a forest in the city.
And this woods, when Nok woke up, he found that he looked a little familiar.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Nok tried to get up from the ground, but the injuries on his body were affected, and the pain in his chest made him cough.
"Don't move. You've broken several ribs. Although I want to help you heal your injuries, I'm sorry, but it's not convenient for me to do it right now."
A somewhat harsh voice sounded behind Nok, stopping Nok's behavior.
Nok couldn't help but said in surprise: "Who is it? Who is there! Did you save me?"
After soaking in the water for a while, his mind had long since cleared up. He also remembered that he was hit by a carriage and fell into the water, so he couldn't help but ask casually.
The owner of the voice hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not really a rescue. But I was the one who fished you out of the moat and brought you here. Anyway, if I don't fish you out, the palace guards will also pull you out of the river." Fish it out, you won't drown."
The owner of the voice seemed a bit upright. Although he was telling the truth seriously, Nok felt that it was not pleasant to hear.
"Oh, I still have to thank you. What if I drowned before others could pick me up? So you still saved me. I will repay you."
Nok held his stinging chest and said while holding back the pain.
After hearing this, the owner of the voice gave up arguing with Nok.
"Whatever you want. I came to you because I have something to ask for your help, but now it seems that you should help yourself first."
Nok instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"Sorry, wait a moment."
Nok whispered a spell: "Healing!"
The magic was activated, and Nok was enveloped in white light.
Fortunately, the trees in the woods were all lush and leafy, and this brilliance was not noticed by the outside world under the cover of the woods.
After one session of treatment, Nok felt that he should be feeling much better.
He immediately tried to sit up again.
The result was a "hissing" sound, and Nok took a breath of air, it hurt!
"Healing! Healing"
Nok quickly threw two more magical spells on himself.
Although the healing technique was only a second-level magic, after three consecutive healing techniques, Nok could already feel that the broken ribs in his body had begun to recover.
Although there was still a dull pain, it no longer hindered his mobility.
He stood up and wanted to thank the "savior" behind him, but when he turned around, there was no one in front of him except the trees in the darkness.
"Eh? Where are you? Isn't it convenient to come out and meet me?"
A hoarse voice came from the tree in front of Nok: "Are you sure you want to meet me? I'm afraid that after meeting me, you won't want to listen to me anymore, let alone help me."
The master who heard the voice had concerns in his heart, but Nok promised nonchalantly: "No! I, Nok Lane, swear to the Holy Lord that I am definitely not an ungrateful person."
Nok's assurance seemed to convince the owner of the voice.
"Then don't regret it! I'm coming down."
"Boom!" A black shadow jumped down from the tree and hit the ground heavily.
Taking advantage of the moonlight cast from the gaps in the woods, Nok's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the landing figure.
Familiar big scarlet eyes, a bloody mouth and fangs looming in the darkness, a tall body, strong claws and a tail that swings restlessly.
Isn’t this the monster killer [The Ripper]!
"How could it be you!"
Nok exclaimed and couldn't help but take a step back and assumed a fighting stance.
[Ripper], who had no intention of fighting Nok, quickly stopped and said: "Stop! Stop! Stop! I'm not here to trouble you! I told you, I'm here to help you! You can't go back on your word!"
Seeing that the other party did have the intention to talk, Nok suppressed his restless fighting spirit.
He looked at [Ripper] warily: "I don't think I have anything to talk about with a murderer."
[Ripper] forced a bitter smile on his ferocious face and sighed: "I don't want to be a murderer! If I say that I was controlled by someone before, would you believe it?"
Nok sneered: "In just two months, you killed nearly 40 people. Now you tell me that you are innocent? Do you think it would be me if it were you, would you believe it?"
[Ripper] was silent for a while, and said in a ashamed tone: "I also know that I am not innocent. I killed the person, but the killing was not my intention. Except on the night of the full moon, I cannot be in this form at all. Retain consciousness.”
[Ripper]'s words made Nok hear something different, and he immediately asked.
"You mean this form? Could it be that this is not your true face!"
