Chapter 47 Chapter 47 "Yes, Lord Leo." Always...
"Yes, Lord Leo," the butler said respectfully.
The boy who suddenly broke in was Leo, walking in front of the maids with his hands behind his back. When he stopped in front of the maid next to Ren Xiaoyue, Ren Xiaoyue could feel the maid's breathing paused for a beat.
"Then why are there bugs from outside here?" Leo leaned forward and asked innocently like a child, "Shouldn't the bugs be eliminated?"
The maid didn't even have time to speak before she touched her throat and made a "uh uh" sound. She knelt on the ground with a pale face, her eyes wide open, and gradually lost her breath.
Leo killed a person in the blink of an eye, and his hair was not even messed up. He circled in front of the maids again. This time, the maids were more cautious. Leo turned around twice and stopped again.
He stopped in front of Ren Xiaoyue.
"Okay, let's just go with these people," Leo waved his hand without looking at Ren Xiaoyue, "My patience is limited. I want to hear good news from you within a week."
After saying that, he left. He came so suddenly and left just as suddenly. When his figure completely disappeared, several maids let out tiny exhalations.
The butler turned his head and watched Leo leave, and said calmly: "Okay, everyone remember what Lord Leo said. Now leave here and complete your mission."
-
"What do you mean by remembering what Lord Leo said, remembering that he killed a person without any reason!" The girl with an apple face and a maid outfit pouted and complained to Ren Xiaoyue.
"Be careful with your words, Xiaolu," Ren Xiaoyue frowned slightly, "These words cannot be heard by three people."
The girl whom Ren Xiaoyue called Xiaolu puffed up her cheeks after hearing this.
"Of course I know I can't tell anyone else, but you're not mine," Xilu said coquettishly, "Good Xixi, you won't tell anyone, right?"
Ren Xiaoyue sighed, and as she walked through the sunlit corridor, she promised, "I won't tell anyone."
After receiving a positive response, Xilu narrowed her eyes and smiled, revealing her little fangs. She said briskly, "I knew you were the best to me. You hate that Leo too, don't you?"
"Lord Leo is not something we can discuss." Facing Xilu's expectant eyes, Ren Xiaoyue answered calmly.
Xilu snorted and said nonchalantly: "You are too cautious. As a person, you should be more self-reliant."
Ren Xiaoyue shook her head and said in a coaxing tone, "If I wasn't careful enough, I wouldn't be alive today. But you, the situation here is complicated now, you should correct those little bad habits of yours."
"Sometimes I think you look like my mother." Xilu muttered softly.
"What?" Ren Xiaoyue asked.
"No, nothing." Xilu stood up straight, looked at the forked road in front of her, and exclaimed, "I'm going to turn here. We can talk about other things later when we have the chance."
Having said that, she waved goodbye and ran away in a hurry.
After she ran more than ten meters away, Ren Xiaoyue smiled, shook her head, and continued walking forward. Behind Ren Xiaoyue, Xilu trotted down a corridor and turned into another empty road.
She stopped and the innocent and foolish shallowness on her face disappeared.
"Xi should be fine. Now let's focus on finding Noh's bloodline," Xilu said to the people in the dark, "Thank you for troubling me during this time, Lord Leo."
The person in the dark slowly walked out, and the face exposed to the sunlight was Leo. He sneered and said unceremoniously: "I told you long ago that the woman didn't have the courage to resist us, but you still didn't believe me. You wasted a lot of time, didn't you? Be more careful next time."
"Okay, Lord Leo." Xilu bowed respectfully, but a hint of impatience flashed in her lowered eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ren Xiaoyue maintained a businesslike smile and tilted her head to look in Xilu's direction.
Well...she was indeed acting according to the original plot. By now, Xilu should no longer doubt her, right? Ren Xiaoyue walked past the beautifully printed long-necked flask, thinking absentmindedly.
The role she played this time was still not chosen randomly. These maids were chosen by the current rulers to keep an eye on their successors. This maid named Xi is just an ordinary maid on the surface, but in fact she is a direct subordinate of the queen. She was loyal to the queen, and after the queen was imprisoned, she lurked in the palace, waiting for an opportunity to rescue the queen.
Xi is an ordinary person without any special powers, so the outcome of the rescue operation is predictable. She was unsuccessful, but because of the clues she left behind, Lu Ze began to suspect that this trip to the palace was not simple.
The person who just spoke to her was the one sent by the villain organization this time. Her name is Xilu. In addition to her, the young man who had killed a maid before was also a member of the organization, and that person was Leo.
Xilu and Leo, one in the light and one in the dark, control the palace. Xilu is an ordinary person without any special powers. She mixes with the maids, gives Leo advice and catches those who want to take advantage of the situation. Leo is one of the organization's experimental subjects and a high-level psychic. He is the military guarantee for this operation.
On the surface, Leo is the stronger of this pair, but in reality, Xilu is the one who really comes up with the plans.
If the information provided by the system is correct, Leo's brain should not be working well. Comparing him with Bai Ling, Bai Ling is a normal person. He doesn't have an exceptional IQ, but it's barely enough. Leo, on the other hand, is...completely brainless.
He doesn't like things that require thinking, and unlike Twenty-Three who speaks with his fists, he doesn't even like fighting. His favorite thing is to watch comedy movies, and he usually likes to slack off by relying on the fact that he is a high-level psychic. The relationship between Xilu and him is like that between a relative from above and a worker without any background, so although Xilu praises him on the surface, she has actually been impatient with him for a long time.
Due to the organization's experiments, Leo's body remained in his youth, but his actual age is older than Ren Xiaoyue. According to the timeline, Leo should have met Ren Xiaoyue.
However, this time when they met, he didn't recognize Ren Xiaoyue at all.
She sneaked into the palace and kidnapped someone without being discovered. The reason why Leo was not dealt with by the organization was probably because he was a rare high-level psychic. Ren Xiaoyue stood in front of the door of the room where she would be serving the guests and thought.
She threw all the random thoughts behind her, smoothed her maid outfit, knocked lightly on the magnificent door, pinched her throat, and said in a sweet voice: "Hello, I am the maid sent to serve you. I will answer all the questions you have encountered so far to the best of my ability."
Next, the tightly closed door was opened by the guard, and Ren Xiaoyue saw Lu Ze, whom she had not seen for half a month.
-
To be honest, Lu Ze was confused when he was surrounded by a group of guards.
When he and Asthe were about to break out of the siege, Asthe's father, Lanno, suddenly appeared and said that he was the queen's bloodline, and Lu Ze became even more confused.
Although he had long felt that Asther's father was different from the other people in Little T Town, he never expected it to be this different.
Although everything was explained clearly, Lu Ze was still feeling uneasy. This premonition gradually deepened when the guards took him away indiscriminately, and reached its peak when they were taken to the lounge and were not allowed to run around.
"There are two reasons why you can't move around freely. First, there are some contents inside the palace that are not suitable for display to everyone. Second, the queen is critically ill. Many people have other ideas about the queen's successor. It is safer for you to stay where there are guards."
The maid who had just entered the room explained respectfully, but Lu Ze was not convinced by her explanation.
"But I think these guards can't beat us. Can't we leave like this?" Lu Ze asked.
Faced with such a tricky question, the maid's smile still maintained the same arc. She gave a meaningless reply: "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. You can ask Mr. Atlas in person tomorrow morning."
Lu Ze paused for a moment with a subtle expression, then asked, "Who is Atlas?"
Asthe covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. Before the maid was about to explain, she spoke: "You don't have to answer this question. Please leave first. We will call you when we need you."
The maid bent down slightly, bowed, and walked out without any hesitation. After seeing the maid leave, Asthe began to whisper to Luze. With Aster's reminder, Luze remembered who Atlas was. He was the minister in charge of the House of Lords. When he was in college, Lu Ze had learned about his history.
As for why Lu Ze had no impression of this person...of course it was because he didn't like history class.
In short, after the maid's explanation, Lu Ze still had a lot of questions, and his questions continued until the next morning when he met Astra. The elegant man stood on the platform, as if he had explained all the problems to them, but also as if he had explained nothing.
"I think you only understood that you need a physical examination." Asthe complained to him.
Lu Ze retorted: “No, I also found Bai Ling. I didn’t expect he had another name, Ke, Ke… something like Si.”
"Curtis," Asther said.
I never thought that the bard who traveled with them might also be of the queen's bloodline. Unfortunately, Atlas didn't give them a chance to communicate with each other.
“And I don’t believe that you don’t have any psychological trauma from the physical examination.” Lu Ze said firmly.
Asthe thought about the prison riot they had encountered after their last physical examination fell silent. Don't mention it, she really couldn't say anything to refute. Aster turned her head to look at her unreliable father who was lying on the sofa eating fruit, and whispered, "Okay, I'll go with you tonight."
Just like that, the two opened the window after Lan Nuo fell asleep and jumped down from the fourth floor. They wandered around, trying to find some useful information. In order to avoid the guards, they broke into a small garden.
As the saying goes, now we are here. They also investigated the small garden. After turning around for most of the circle, the two heard footsteps and they quickly hid in the bushes.
"Your Highness, please don't~"
"Hmph, stop pretending, you playing hard to get little kitty."
The flirting sounds reached the ears of Luze and Asthe, and they looked at each other in silence.
This voice, isn't this the one named Albert from this morning? The queen's son, an annoying guy who pretends to be the crown prince. Just as Luze and Aster were about to sneak around them and leave, new footsteps were heard.
The guards ran into the little garden and caught Albert red-handed. After Albert was taken away in disheveled clothes, new footsteps were heard again.
"Isn't it an intruder?"
"No," the guard said, "Thank you very much for your notification, but things are not what you think. We are not in a position to tell you the details."
"I'm glad it wasn't an intruder. To be honest, Xiaolu said she heard a noise suddenly, and I was really scared."
Hearing this voice, Luze began to wink at Aster.
This was the voice of the maid who answered their questions.
Soon, the maid and the guards left, and the lively little garden returned to peace. Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He crawled out of the bushes and was about to pat his pants and leave, but he froze where he was.
The maid who had answered their questions the day before was standing at the gate of the little garden looking at him!
