She just lowered her eyes, then raised her eyes slightly, took a look at Zelin, and quickly lowered her eyes before looking at Zelin.

Ze Lin wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed heavily, clenched his fist and slammed it on the arm of the wooden chair.

"Enid, I want to ask you a few things."

"Um..."

"Did it have anything to do with you when you assassinated the two illegitimate children of Foltest?"

"No, the only thing I have done is to poison Yada." Seeing Zelin's face sullen, Francesca said quickly. "The plan for the illegitimate son of Foltest is a plan by the Imperial Intelligence Agency. This is part of the Imperial Intelligence Agency’s Assassin’s plan. The Nilfgaard army failed twice in Temalia, so they hope this difficult opponent It can be completely divided into fragile counties, so that after the imperial army crosses the Yarlunga River, the regiments directly under the emperor can almost reach the Ponta River without blood, and minimize the power lost in this war. High enough prestige in the army."

"Did you know about this before?"

Enid shook his head. "I only found out after the summit."

Zelin took another deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

"Enid."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?" She was taken aback for a moment. "No, I, I'm really sorry, I, I didn't expect the situation of the Demon Hunter, I just thought it might be..."

"I want to say sorry to many people, but you must be the first one, Enid. I am sorry that after I have you, I still miss other women."

Francesca opened her mouth. But I don't know what to say. After a while, she lowered her head again.

"It's not your fault, Zelin. I also have selfishness. After I saw your relationship with other people, I... I was angry at first, but then... I was thinking that you know some capable people. , They will provide me with great help in rebuilding Hundred Flowers Valley and coping with the crisis. If I can let them owe me a favor that I have never been able to, such as repaying some kind of tolerance that shouldn’t have appeared. They will become I am very helpful..."

"I won't justify my mistakes, Enid. This is what I owe you, everyone." Zelin shook his head as he leaned on the armchair. For some reason, there was a wave of fatigue in his heart. "Enid, I once promised Foltest that I will protect his children safe and sound. I don't want to become a person who breaks the appointment. In Lomugne, I used potions to detoxify Ata. ."

"Yeah." Enid nodded. "The war has begun, and everything before that is meaningless."

"Regarding his illegitimate daughter, I don't know how many people want her life, Aneth, and Ata, they must live. I can't stay here forever, so I plan to send someone to protect them." Zelin thought of the plan he had conceived before. Perhaps he can exclude the part that penetrates the palace, leaving only the part that sends guards. Foltest was assassinated on the battlefield. A large part of the reason was that he did not have a brave and combative guard by his side. He dispatched almost all the warriors to the frontal battlefield, so that Bren could attack him directly.

"If... you are willing to believe me, I can send some female sword dancers as their maids to protect their daily life..."

"You helped the Kingslayer, right?"

"...Yes."

"Which step is the Kingslayer Project you helped progress to?"

"Until the assassination of Hensett..."

Zelin picked up the paper from the side table.

"Enid, I have some friends in the north. It may be because we have too little time to communicate with each other. You don't know which friends I have. Now, I will tell you the list. I don't want to hear any of them. Died in an assassination. Okay?"

"Uh, uh."

Francesca felt her mind confused, and stared blankly at Zelin writing names, but her thoughts were not here.

Zelin's voice was much calmer than before, but she knew that calmness was more angry than yelling.

…Will he drive me away?

The thought shocked her. But for some reason, it was entangled in my mind like a tarsal maggot, lingering.

She seemed to think that in the future, Zelin would have a good chat with other people, but when she saw herself appearing at the gate of the castle, she immediately put away her smile, only politely inviting her to come in and sit down.

She didn't come back to her senses until she was stuffed with a piece of paper in her hand.

"That's it." Zelin rubbed the corners of his eyes. "If there are any more in the future, I will notify you immediately."

Francesca didn't look at the list, she just stretched out her hand.

"Zelin, I..."

"Enid." Zelin was just thinking. "Help me do something."

Her eyes lit up. Asked almost eagerly. "What's the matter?"

"I will do some remedy."

Zelin didn't think of Lansiska anymore, he closed his eyes and fell into contemplation again. Anger is useless, and it is impossible to change the future with any anger. There is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to reduce the loss as much as possible before everything can be restored. He can't delay more important things because of his anger.

The first thousand nine hundred and fifty-six chapters

Noon—

"Gnaiya." Yusevka looked at the soft toast in front of him, clapped his hands on his apron, and took off the round hat that was wrapped around his hair on his forehead. "Bring me to the table, and take the strawberry jam on the window sill by the way."

"Strawberry jam?"

"Yes, I made it with strawberries and honey, I hope you like it. It's right by the window sill, the red bottle."

"Oh, I am here."

Gnaiya, who was squatting in front of the basin, picked up the cold water to wash away the sweat and dust on her forehead and cheeks. She stood up, shook the water droplets on her hand, walked to the window sill of the clinic, and picked out a small bottle that looked like a strawberry from among several bottles. Through the window, she happened to see Heyzer sitting on the bed reading a book to pass the time. Hazel waved his hand to say hello, and Gnaiya smiled back. Turning around, standing in front of the clinic, looking up, you can just see the whole view of the castle tower. The curtains on the third floor are still drawn, blocking everyone's sight and isolating the sound.

Shaking her head, she walked to the kitchen, put the finished bread on the tray, and walked towards the dining room.

In the restaurant on the first floor, Virginia was standing under a tapestry, throwing torn bread crumbs into the fish tank, watching the small fishes snatching food floating on the water. Gnaiya lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Walked to the dining table and put down the toast and strawberry jam, stepped lightly, and creptly walked behind Virginia.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh!" Virginia was taken aback. She shook her hand, and the remaining breadcrumbs were sprinkled on the water, and the little fish swam happily in the water. Turning around, she patted her chest and took a deep breath after seeing who was standing behind her. "Gnaiya, I don't think this is a funny joke!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I'm just a little curious."

Gnaiya glanced at the fish in the tank. Only in her eyes, Virginia saw the only curiosity about when to fish out the fish and eat it. Virginia snorted, then set her eyes on the water tank again. But the fish that had eaten the breadcrumbs swam back into the water plants. Virginia dropped her shoulders. "What's the matter?"

She knew that every time Gnaiya took the initiative to come to her, she must have something to say or something.

"Zelin and the elves have been in the room all morning, don't you want to know what they are doing, what are they talking about?" Gnaiya said slowly. "Why don't you let us go up and take a look? Listen through the door. Use your magic to make the footsteps disappear, and I will tell you when I hear it. How?"

"Oh, Gnaya, it's impolite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations." Virginia walked to the table and rolled up her sleeves. "Wait for him to come down, just ask him yourself?"

"Don't you care about this?" Gnaiya mumbled dissatisfiedly. "So did you, and so did Joseph, as if this thing didn't happen at all. This is a big deal! How can you not take care of it at all?"

"Because of this, we are messing up no matter what we do." Virginia took off a piece of bread and took a small bite. She came this morning without breakfast. "Don't worry, he can handle this, we just wait for the result...Oh!"

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs. Virginia turned her head quickly, Gnaiya looked up the stairs with her. Suddenly, two people stared directly at him, Zelin was stunned for a moment, and then he continued walking down the stairs.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked briskly. "On the second floor, I can smell the aroma of bread. Where's Joseph? Let's have lunch. I'm hungry too. I seem to have forgotten about breakfast. Oh, yes, are the merchants outside the door still there? "
