The streets of Silver Moon City have become a little deserted.
A middle-aged half-elf pressed the brim of his hat and hurriedly walked across the street full of fallen leaves.
But soon, a team of guards on patrol stopped him.
"Name?"
"Rose."
"What are you doing? Where to go?"
……
After some routine inspections and questioning, Rose was released again.
He walked around the street for a long time before finally entering an inconspicuous pub.
Passing through the noisy main hall, Rose entered the kitchen familiarly, and then went into the hidden basement under the leadership of a chef.
"Brother, Cathy has an urgent message from the palace."
Under the dim candlelight, a half-elf in the basement raised his head—it was the Sith of the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
Hess frowned, took the small note that Rose handed him, and said a little displeased: "Now the Medewin family is looking for us everywhere, why does she take the risk to send a message outside?"
Rose sighed: "It should be very important information. In order to pass it on, the three internal responses we arranged in the palace have been abolished."
Sith frowned deeper, but he patiently turned over the note, and then pulled out another book from the shelf.
After he finished translating the ciphertext on the note, his face instantly became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Rose asked worriedly after seeing his brother's face suddenly change.
Sith handed the translated note to his younger brother, and said: "We have to take action, we can't just wait and die!"
After reading the information, Rose hesitated and said: "Brother, but Mr. Wang..."
"Don't worry about that damned Mr. Coward!" Sith said angrily, "Now the only thing we can rely on is the Duke of St. Hild!"
"But..." Rose seemed to have some doubts.
"Brother, it's not three hundred years ago anymore. Who should you choose between these two? You won't be confused by now, right?"
After a long time, Rose seemed to be persuaded by his brother, and nodded and said: "Okay! Then you say, what should we do?"
"Make arrangements, I want to see Duke Rutte!"
——————————
"How dare you come to see me?"
Duke Rutte looked at the Sith who appeared in front of him and sneered.
Sith looked indifferent, and asked, "Master Duke, don’t you dare to see me at this time?"
Duke Rutte chuckled, "How do you know that I did not deliberately lead you out before agreeing to meet you? You know, Prince William is looking for you all over the city."
"Then, do you know why the prince is looking for me?"
"I heard it was for tax evasion of your Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce."
"Do you believe this reason?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"Then what do you think is the reason?"
Duke Rutte sneered and believed: "I think it should be for Queen Aisha."
"Oh?" Sith rolled his eyes, "How much do you know about my Royal Highness and the Queen?"
"Hehe, in the name of cultivating blood roses for the queen, I'm afraid you will not do anything to steal it!" Duke Rutte showed a smile that a man understands, "You are really lucky, Queen Aisha's charming Rose, actually fell in love with you, a pariah!"
Siston was stunned.
He thought that the secret between himself and Queen Aisha was seen by Duke Rutte, but he didn't expect...
"Hahaha! Lord Duke, you are so insightful!"
Duke Rutte looked content and hummed softly: "There are definitely not many things that can be hidden from my eyes in the palace."
"Right, right, right!" Sith suppressed a smile, "Then you are going to catch me to see your Majesty?"
"It depends on your performance." Duke Rutte smiled slightly, "Although your Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce has been closed down, I believe you must have your own small vault."
"So, you want money?"
"And..." Duke Rutte's eyes flashed lustfully, "You have been with Queen Aisha for so long, must you have something to do with her? Give it to me."
"Then, you can use this to blackmail Queen Aisha and kiss Yoshizawa?" Sith's eyes were strange.
Duke Rutte snorted, seeming to have acquiesced.
Sith couldn’t help but laugh again, shook his head and sighed, “My lord, you’re misunderstood. I don’t have that kind of relationship with Queen Aisha. However, if you really want a relative, I might be able to help. you."
Duke Rutte felt that Sith’s denial was just a hard mouth, but after hearing it, he couldn’t help asking, “How can I help?”
"I can help you capture the palace. At that time, the half-elf beauties in the palace, including Queen Aisha, will not be yours."
Duke Rutte glared at him and said angrily: "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm serious, Lord Duke." Sith stroked his chest and saluted, with a serious face.
"Oh, you untouchable, you teased the nobles! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Facing the threat of Duke Rutte, Sith actually laughed: "My lord, I am not a pariah."
"What did you say?"
"My last name is Savoy."
"Sa, Savoy? Savoy!" Duke Rutte got up from his seat and looked at Sith in disbelief.
Sith also straightened his chest, and met Duke Rutte's gaze without any retreat.
Then, in order to convince the other party of his identity, Sith took out another exquisite badge.
"Goldfinch bird!" When Duke Rutte saw the badge, he finally confirmed the true identity of the Sith.
turned out to be the descendant of the previous royal family in the half-elf kingdom-the "goldfinch bird" Savoy family!
"It’s no wonder that Prince William is going to catch you like crazy Duke Rutte suddenly realized.
"My lord, you know now that I asked you to join me in the capture of the palace. It's not a lie."
"Huh! Are you afraid that you are crazy? What if you belong to the Savoy family? I thought it was three hundred years ago? By revealing my identity, I would be obedient to you?
wake up, the current half-elf royal family is the Modiwen family! "
Sith also smiled: "Master Duke, if you don't do what I said, do you guess our previous records of interactions will be sent to your majesty?"
Duke Rutte suddenly panicked, but he still roared inwardly, "Will your Majesty believe you?"
"Why not?
Do you know that, I have always had the habit of keeping accounts. I have a detailed record of every bribe I gave you before.
Not only you, but also your people, your loyal subordinates.
Maybe you didn't realize it, our Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce has been entangled with your Rutte family very deeply.
may be nothing at ordinary times, but at this sensitive moment, you said, is your majesty willing to believe in your innocence?
Or would you rather kill the wrong one? "
Duke Rutte suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Because he knows his brother-in-law too well.
That is a cold-blooded political animal!
Once they knew that the Rutte family and the Savoy family were unclear, the old king would definitely raise his butcher knife without hesitation!
After a long time, Duke Rutte said in a bitter voice, "What are your plans..."
The corners of Sith’s mouth were slightly cocked, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
