Why did Dort Some mention this?

At that time, a serious riot did break out in Silverlight, and the successive mining disasters caused hundreds of absenteeism to die, and the employers were only willing to compensate the freedmen for their losses, and the attitude of turning a blind eye to the low-cost homeless class sparked the anger of the victims' families. Unwilling to wait for death, displaced people swarmed out of the mining area, burned and looted along the way, and finally relied on the suppression of the Knights of the Royal Capital to restore order.

It was not until the siblings were sent to Old Gülen's house that Nightingale heard from each other about the cause of their parents' deaths.

But the meaning of the viscount's words does not seem to be like this?

She didn't expect that an accident that had passed more than ten years would still have the possibility of subversion. If it is really as the other party said, what is to be investigated this time is no longer just the relationship between Hyde and the Somei family.

The nightingale silently exited the room, through the floors, to the basement floor, and activated the listening sigil she had with her.

It was originally just something that was prepared so that Roland could call her back at any time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in such a way.

"It's suspicious indeed," Roland on the other end of the rune replied, "So you're going to stay in the mansion longer?"

"Yes, I'd like to wait until the evening to ask Hyde personally...... He probably knows something. Nightingale hesitated, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I ......"

"There's nothing to apologize for," Roland quickly interrupted her, "I'll be waiting for you in the camp until you're done investigating." Rest assured, it's safe here, and as long as I don't go out, it's not a breach of agreement. Instead, you need to watch your own safety, don't be too impulsive, and report back to me every two hours, no matter what the situation is. ”

A warm current welled up in Nightingale's heart, and she was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Yes, I understand. ”

......

It wasn't until the moonlight outside the skylight faded that Nightingale left the cellar and headed for Hyde's room—before she had confirmed her brother's location. The moon was setting in the west, meaning that it was close to three midnight, and most people were already asleep, and even the guards who kept vigil would inevitably fall asleep, so it was the best time for her to act.

Hyde's bedroom was located on the first floor of the mansion, near the back garden, and was usually only housed by servants and less important guests, which confirmed the words of the two guards - Viscount Dott did not take the heir of the Gülen family too seriously, and at the same time made Nightingale realize that the friendliness of the Somer family in his childhood may be disguised.

However, the other party's contemptuous attitude made her much more relaxed, and the entire hall to the aisle was not guarded, so that even if something happened, she would have enough time to get out.

After entering the bedroom, the nightingale pulled his brother out of the quilt, and when he woke up from his dream, before he could fully recover his senses, a dagger with a cold light was already pressed against his neck.

"Screaming, crying, crying will all die, understand?" she whispered as she stood behind Hyde.

The latter nodded hurriedly.

"Very well, now turn around and see who I am?"

Hyde quickly complied, but his eyes widened when he saw the face of the comer in the dim moonlight! If it weren't for the dagger around his neck, he would have almost screamed.

But in the end, he finally held back.

After confirming that the other party's mood had stabilized, Nightingale slowly withdrew the dagger.

"You...... Why are you here?" said Hyde, holding back a trembling voice, "Shouldn't you have died a long time ago?"

The moment she heard him speak, the dusty memories of the past suddenly flooded into her heart, and at that moment, the nightingale seemed to have returned to the old Gülen's house, driven by the pain of her brother's betrayal and the oppression of her distant relatives, which made her painful, and even her consciousness was a little trance.

It was the person in front of her who tore apart her most vulnerable side with her own hands and exposed it to outsiders who were not at ease.

"Why do you say that?" she bit her tongue vigorously, letting the smell of rust wash away the distractions in her mind.

"Because, because ......," Hyde swallowed, "Tifeco rummaged through the royal capital and the surrounding cities, and declared that all the witches had been executed by him. No, but, Veronica, I mean, sister...... I didn't want you to die, but I was shocked when I heard the news, and thought that if you didn't leave without permission, maybe it would be fine. ”

Veronica ...... It's been a long time since she's heard the name, but after many years, she's no longer as gullible as she used to be.

The magic that vibrated like a string had already told her the answer—the second half of the sentence was a lie.

"How did you get together with Viscount Dott Some?"

"Well, this ......," he paused slightly, "after the death of old Gülen, there have been many quarrels in the family, and I don't know the specific situation, but I know that when I inherit the title, there will be almost no savings in the mansion." That's when Lord Viscount came to the door, and I had no choice. [Lying]

"He forced you to merge into the Somei family?"

"Yes, he said that if I didn't agree, he would get rid of me......" [lying]

"And what are you doing for him now?" said Nightingale quietly, "to the poor?"

"No," Hyde gritted his teeth, "he's just using me as a guaise, and he's actually selling Dream Water! The rats that carry his goods are in the crowd, and I've only recently discovered his tricks!"

The first half of the sentence is magical, but the second half is still a lie.

The nightingale found that she was not annoyed, and was even somewhat relieved...... Yes, that's what it feels like, and that's what a normal conversation should be. There are many lies, and there are mixed truths and falsehoods...... People's hearts are always changing, even if they are connected by blood, they can't hear the true voice of the other party. Since her ability awakened, she has long been accustomed to such situations, whether it is in the face of lies without changing her color, or stripping the truth from layers of bluffing.

On the contrary, it was Roland's kind of conversation, which rarely detected the beating of magic, that made it difficult for her to adapt for a while.

At this moment, the Shadow Killer who lurked in the darkness and made the nobles of the Central Region tremble is back.

"What's next for you?"

Hearing this, Hyde suddenly fell to the ground and pleaded with a wailing voice, "Sister, please help me!"

"Help?"

He took two steps forward, "I know it was me who was bad before...... But I'm your own brother! The Viscount didn't treat me as a nobleman at all, and as you can see, he actually brought me the servant's house, and restored this mansion just to hide people's eyes, and if he continues to stay here, he will attack me sooner or later!"

"So you want me to take you away?"

"Let's go, isn't that nothing?" Hyde shook his head in alarm, and then said hatefully, "Old Gülen was killed by you, right?" I don't know what kind of ability I used, but you can easily enter here, and you will definitely be able to enter his bedroom. Sister, kill him! As soon as he dies, I will have a chance to become a real Somei nobleman!Then, and then you will kill the other heirs one by one, this territory...... And all the property of Suomite's family will be owned by us!"

Nightingale stared into his eyes and didn't answer for a long time, until Hyde bowed her head uneasily again, and she spoke, "Before that, I want to ask you a question. ”

"Yes, yes......" The younger brother hurriedly replied.

"Why did you betray me back then?" asked Nightingale word by word.
