Fairy’s Box
Chapter 108: Alice's Secret
Aleigh took the other party's hand, and with Alex's slightly surprised expression, put the ring back into his hand: "Not interested."
"Eh? Aren't you curious?" the blond boy asked curiously.
"I always feel that there are countless troubles standing behind you, let me go, I haven't reached the third level." The knight helped him hold the ring and pushed it back firmly.
"Do you think that after chatting with me for so long, if it spreads out, will the trouble take a detour?"
"What do you mean?" Yale narrowed his eyes, feeling deep malice from the other party's words.
"It's dead end with Alice, if you don't let her shut up, just do some mental research and you will be exposed. The question is, will she help you?" : "The only person who can help you is me."
The knight ignited a cluster of evil fire, and said to each other: "If the trouble comes, let it come!"
"Don't be so angry, I don't mean to threaten you." The blond boy walked to the desk on his own, took out the quill from the pen holder, wrote a page full of it, and folded it and put it in the envelope. When I was done, I took another sheet of paper and filled it with half a page.
Yaremo remained silent, patiently standing aside to see what the **** he was up to.
Alex pulled out the ruby on the ring, sighed at the place where it was seated, and covered the bottom right corner of the two sheets of paper.
After doing all this, the blond boy got up and walked in front of the knight again, handing the envelope and paper over: "One is my letter, I want you to deliver it to the address on the back of the envelope in a month's time, at the beginning of June. Another, a note to Alice, you can ask her to do anything."
"Just sending letters?" Yale took the envelope and note and gave him a suspicious look.
"Yes, we are friends, so we should help each other. In the name of Christ, I will help you hide everything."
Alex's smile was clean and pure, and there was no trace of impurities. After thinking of something, he added: "But you can't read the letters and notes. This is my only request."
"Leave it to me!" The knight agreed, put the letter in his pocket, turned and walked to the door: "No matter what happens, I will deliver it to you."
Maybe there are more troubles and dangers hidden in this letter, but he doesn't know why he agreed so readily. Maybe... this is another form of judging people by their appearance, the boy thought.
Moreover, if the other party really wants to drag him into the water, he has no choice.
"If you are free, come play often." The blond boy held the door frame and waved.
Yale walked to the corner of the promenade, staggered under his feet after hearing the sound, almost fell, and shouted angrily, "I'm not that stupid!"
The knight followed the route he remembered, without any hindrance, and walked to the dressing room of the singer.
Alice was sitting in front of the dressing table, her beautiful face was full of despair, and the two maids rubbed the back of their necks and knelt beside her sobbing. In front of the grooming mirror, three corpses were wrapped in messy women's clothes.
Judging from the exposed shoes, it should be a member of the patrol team, probably killed by the female assassin.
"How did they die?" Yale asked Diva.
One of the maids trembled all over, and rushed over, crawling and rolling, hugging his thigh and crying:
"We didn't do it! It's a female assassin. She dressed up as a waiter. She hypnotized the lady with some sorcery, and tricked them into killing them one by one. Young master knight, I didn't lie, please believe us!"
"I believe, you let go first." The knight pushed her away and handed a note to the singer: "Miss Alice, here is a letter for you."
Through the conversation with Alex, he also knew that Alice was definitely not a simple singer. Rather than being terrified by the three dead men, she was terrified by the consequences of leaking secrets.
Whatever was written in the letter at least calmed her down.
"Letter?" Alice stretched out her trembling wrist, knotted a note, and her face turned red: "Sir, what do you, you, do you want?"
Seeing her reaction, it was obvious that he had thrown the corpse in front of him into the clouds, and Yalei was even more certain in his heart that this woman was definitely not an ordinary singer.
He threw out the scroll hidden in his sleeve: "Sign it, and then forget everything about today."
"That's it?" The singer widened her eyes in surprise.
"You can handle the corpses, and give them a decent funeral and pension."
"As you wish." Alice bent one knee and fell to the ground obediently, seemingly taking the knight as her superior.
The two maids were speechless in astonishment. They didn't understand how the young lady they had served for so long suddenly became like another person.
Seeing Yalei looking at them, the singer raised her delicate face tremblingly, and begged: "Sir, they have followed me for many years, and they will not leak their mouths. Please be merciful."
It seems to be regarded as a cold-blooded and ruthless executioner... That's right! Use this opportunity to explore Alex's bottom line. If he is a spy of an enemy country, he must not tolerate it.
The knight pretended to think for a while, knocked out the two maids with his backhand, and snorted coldly: "Tell me about your recent exploits, and I will pardon them according to the situation."
"Yes! My lord." Alice touched the ground with her head excitedly, and narrated each cruel conspiracy in her beautiful singing voice. All the dark forces aimed at the empire will kill their families and kill them at every turn.
I have to admit that Yale's appearance does have a bonus effect by pretending to be a cold-blooded executioner. She didn't doubt her identity as a knight at all, and revealed everything she had done recently.
There was a huge wave in Yalei's heart. It turned out that Rosevia still had this mysterious power, which seemed to be an underground institution directly under the empire. Inferring this, there is no problem with Alex's identity, and the Empire will definitely not let a tainted person sit in a high position in the underground intelligence agency.
In addition to being relieved, he was also a little nervous. Could it be because he knew too much... He thought about it for a while, and saw that the singer was still lying on the ground, like a rabbit who was only to be slaughtered, he quickly brought him into the role, and said with a sneer :
"I think you are a little weak, and these two little girls will be left to you. If there is any deviation, I will not tolerate it. Also, you haven't seen me today, do you know?"
"This subordinate understands." The singer looked at Yale gratefully and replied with a trembling voice.
"Get up and sign quickly..."
"Yes!"
With the scroll signed by Alice, Ares walked down the corridor, trying to digest what he saw tonight. Maps, assassins, the Empire's underground, and...the mysterious Alex.
What exactly is he? Could a high-level spy like Alice be the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor? But no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to surpass the nobles of Fangjing... The knight recalled the classification of nobles with a headache, and eliminated them one by one.
Although Rosevia abolished the fiefdom system early, it still retained part of the nobility system. Among them, the emperor is the supreme, excluding the four goblin lords, and the universal patriarch is second.
The second ladder is the king, who is often the same person as the emperor, although there is precedent for a son being crowned king while the father is alive. But he is just a prince, and he will not exercise real kingship.
The third ladder is bishops and nobles. The nobles are further divided into knight nobles, palace nobles, and square nobles. Among them, the nobles of the realm are respected, and they are also the only real power aristocrats who can be hereditary and have fiefs. It is usually guarding the marginal areas that are difficult to reach by imperial executive orders, and can serve concurrently with knights and nobles.
Knight nobles cannot be hereditary, have no fiefs, only enjoy additional salaries and honors, and can only be awarded by the knight class. The palace aristocracy is a member of the Council of Elders, also known as the parliamentary aristocracy. Any elder who enters the highest decision-making level of the empire must give up other noble titles.
The fourth rank is the elders, who have made significant contributions to the empire, are of high moral character, and those who are knowledgeable can be nominated. Knights, goblin doctors, and alchemists are given priority. After three years of review, he settled in the Senate and became a member of the highest legislative body of the empire.
In addition, the blue-blooded nobles are just unwritten titles, monopolized by several ancient knight families. The blood of warriors has been incessant for thousands of years, and it has been optimized and inherited from generation to generation. The descendants are all born with incredible power.
