Chapter 92: Double Kill
Gang and Mo La parted ways, and Liz, who was about to go to the city to purchase ingredients, always felt a little uneasy.
Although she didn't want to believe anything, and even felt that no matter what the church nun named "Alice" said, she would feel extremely disgusted, but the words of the other party did remind her of many things. .
My owner has indeed been in a very bad state of mind recently, with a serious sense of defensiveness and crisis.
Whether it is from the fact that he is invaded by nightmares every night, even if he wipes his sweat as much as possible and acts as Siris's human pillow, it cannot improve it at all; or from the fact that he suddenly has to train the people in the manor a few days ago The maid is thinking as if she is about to face a huge crisis.
In the end, these signs can prove that even if Mo La's words are not true, they are not false at all.
Although Liz didn't have a good impression of the people in the church, she also didn't have much trust in Jim who suddenly came to Anka and disrupted their original rhythm of life.
Of course, I haven't had much contact with either of them. Lord Sirius, who took everything upon himself, always protected her like a child. Every time he saw Lord Sirius, he could only see his high-spirited side.
Liz knows that this is a tiring thing. Although some people are good at pretending, there is a price to pay for pretending what they really think.
It was because she had been living in disguise with her bastard father all year round that she had to wrap her mouth with tape every night when she slept.
Others only thought she was snoring in her sleep, but in fact she was afraid of telling all her secrets in her sleep.
She had to help Lord Sirius...
Liz had never felt the desire in her heart as strong as it was today, because she felt that if she did nothing, it would be a murder in another sense.
The road back to the manor had never been as long as it was today. Along the way, she quickened her pace, holding on to the skirt of her maid uniform with both hands, and the small leather shoes under her feet left footprints on the dirt road.
But when she arrived at the door of the manor and was about to find a way to hide in a blind spot outside the window of the living room on the first floor and eavesdrop, she heard a somewhat cold voice from behind her.
"What are you hiding here for?"
The person who spoke was none other than Sirius's sister Nalia.
Liz's face was a little embarrassed. She didn't know that her eavesdropping behavior would be exposed so quickly. Fortunately, no one was in the living room at this moment, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to explain it to Lord Sirius.
"Lord Nalia...I..."
Liz hesitated. She didn't know how to explain it at the moment, but what she didn't expect was that Nalia in front of her looked at her teasingly. After that, he asked with great interest:
"Have you been very close to my brother recently? It can be seen that... Sirius really likes you."
When he said this, a flash of light flashed in Nalia's eyes. lonely.
Ever since their brother and sister were defeated by the eldest prince Engri in the imperial city, she found that the distance between herself and her brother Sirius had become further and further away.
She knew that Sirius hated her, hated that he stood in front of her like that, not even recognizing Sirius' true identity.
I hate that she easily believed other people's slanders, did not distinguish between good and bad, and spent her whole life talking about hating nobles, but she herself was infected with the arrogance that only nobles can have.
So for so many days, Nalia never took the initiative to talk to Sirius. On the one hand, she was afraid of facing this strange brother Sirius alone; on the other hand, she also wanted to make changes starting from herself.
But she found that she seemed to have done something wrong. Avoiding could not solve any problems, it would only push herself further and further away.
For example, right now, the maid standing in front of her seemed to have a much closer relationship with Sirius than she did.
"Your name is Liz, right?"
"Yes, Lady Nalia."
"If possible, can you tell me what Sirius has been busy with recently?" When speaking of this, Nalia's words contained a hint of emotion. There was a hint of pleading, which was something she would never say to a servant in the past, "I hope that as her sister, I can help her." "
..."
Liz hesitated for a long time, and she was very worried in her heart. Anxious, because she was afraid that at this time, her master would follow Jim into the living room, and then find her standing outside the window talking to Nalia.
However, she didn't know that Sirius already knew what was happening at this moment. He was delaying the meeting with Jim just to wait for the conversation between the two to end.
"Ms. Nalia, do you know that Jim?"
Nalia frowned when she heard the name, "...Yes."
Nalia has always been interested in this new "friend" made by her brother. She was very wary, but she also knew that Sirius would not believe anything she said now, so she could only be wary from a distance, but did not step forward further.
It was precisely for this reason that Liz was found eavesdropping here today.
"Is this Jim a good guy?"
"He?" Hearing the word "good guy," Nalia laughed disdainfully, "He is just a clown. A month ago, he was still planning an assassination on the eldest prince's side. Sirius.
Then when he found out that things had turned around, he admitted his crime in front of everyone and stood by Sirius to testify for him.
But the most ridiculous thing is that the eldest prince who was betrayed by him has now become Xi The new king of the forest, a bastard named Jim, can only live his life hiding under the protection of Sirius, just like a mouse.
But the only difference is that at least the mouse will not hurt its owner after being tamed, but this Jim, no one can Know what purpose he followed Sirius for."
Every time Nalia said something, the look of worry on Liz's face became more intense. At the end, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and then made up her mind to deal with it. Looking at Nalia, she said,
"Lord Nalia, can you help me?"
"..." Nalia had already guessed something. She remained silent, but in fact she was thinking in her mind whether she should do this.
She had already decided not to use her invisibility ability to eavesdrop on Sirius's life. If she helped Liz at this time, wouldn't it push the distance between herself and Sirius further?
"Lord Nalia, there is no time..."
Liz didn't know what Nalia's awakening ability was. She just hoped that the other party could help her cover up and not reveal herself in front of the eavesdroppers later.
"Master is burdened with too many secrets. I hope I can share the burden for him, instead of continuing to live my own life as if I didn't know anything as before." "
...Okay."
Hearing Liz's words After saying this, Nalia finally made up her mind.
Then under Liz's surprised gaze, she walked up to the girl, and then touched Liz's shoulder with her hand. Then Liz found that her figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared directly into the environment.
"As a deal, no matter what you hear, you need to tell me the truth, okay?"
"...Okay."
——————————
Sirius, who was hiding in the bed and pretending to be asleep, predicted Liz at this moment. After getting ready, he finally opened his eyes.
"Hey... I can only take one step and see one step."
He pulled back the quilt and changed his clothes while thinking about how to use his ability this time.
The first thing he can confirm is that the predicted future can be changed.
For example, he deliberately pretended to be asleep to delay some time, so that Jim, who was originally talking to him at the moment, was still waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
Liz, who was originally supposed to be eavesdropping on the conversation in the hall on the second floor, mistook the conversation place for the living room and was caught by Nalia who was watering the flowers in the garden.
I just made a small change, which caused so many drastic changes in the planned future.
Sirius suddenly thought of a term: "butterfly effect".
Although I don't have the time to completely predict everything that will happen in these three days, I am still quite comfortable just locking the timeline to a few hours this afternoon.
"Lord Sirius."
"Is Jim still waiting for me downstairs?"
"Yes, he seemed very anxious, and he asked me several times what you were doing, but because you have been resting, I also I can only tell him this truthfully."
"..."
From this, it can be seen that Jim is still quite afraid of himself.
Unlike Mo La, who is always playing tricks behind her back, she always wants to do something big while undercover.
After nodding casually to Lian, Sirius adjusted the collar of his clothes and walked towards the stairs.
When passing Jim, he patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them walked into the living room without saying a word. The atmosphere looked very strange, but to Sirius it was just to talk less, while to Jim it was just to put pressure on him.
Especially when sitting on both sides of the living room table, the more silent Sirius became, the more panicked Jim felt.
It wasn't until finally that he couldn't hold it in anymore that he had the courage to speak:
"Lord Sirius, I have something I would like to ask your opinion on."
"...Hmm."
Sirius said a modal word casually. After Jim on the opposite side didn't have any unusual reaction, he also confirmed that the forced lie effect of the button's ability was for those statements that might be questioned.
"Sir, I have recently followed your request and spread an atmosphere of danger to Anka's church to the entire Anka." "
..."
Seeing that Sirius didn't speak, Jim spoke again: " But I feel that this is not enough. If we want to completely panic the church, we must now target Bishop Calvin.
Only if he dies can the church in Anka lose hope. So I hope... Your Excellency, you can allow me Go kill that Bishop Calvin."
At this point, Jim did not continue. At this moment, not only was he waiting for Sirius' next words, but Lizzie, who was hiding outside the window, was also waiting for her master. 's next sentence.
But what Sirius said next made the two of them stunned at the same time.
"I'm very satisfied that you can have your own ideas."
