Especially, I learned from His Royal Highness the Second Prince that the church will soon abolish the ban on the use of force in the city, and Bishop Jarvis will join His Royal Highness Andrew's camp.
Maura felt that as the princess's first maid, she had the responsibility to protect her master's safety.
Of course, she couldn't say this out loud.
Being with Avril every day, Maura was the one who understood her intentions and determination most clearly.
Either defeat Andre and become the king of Lake, enter the inherited magic tower and become a saint-level professional, and then avenge Mr. Zhang Mu.
Or lose everything, including your life.
Thinking of this, Maura couldn't help but grab her ponytail in distress.
In order to avenge Mr. Zhang Mu, you should live a good life. Why should you be so decisive?
Fortunately, Mr. Porter had already thought of this day.
Her right hand reached into her arms from the side of her maid's uniform, and her palm touched the crystal that Potter had given her, feeling the coldness spreading through her fingertips to her whole body.
It was freezing cold, but Maura felt at peace.
With it, Her Royal Highness's symptoms can be temporarily suppressed.
"One month, only one month, remember this."
Recalling Potter's solemn instructions on the night they left Cass Town, she gritted her teeth.
It should be enough for Her Royal Highness the Princess to reach the North.
What I have to do is to ensure that Her Royal Highness the Princess escapes safely from the capital.
Maura once struggled with whether to reveal to Avril that there was a treasure left by the royal ancestors for future generations in the northern part of Lake.
But Porter emphasized that the place was extremely dangerous and should not be attempted until the last minute.
So she finally decided to follow Mr. Potter's instructions and only inform Avril when the situation in the royal capital reached a point where it was irreversible.
He pulled his hand out of his bosom and pulled out the ponytail again.
She continued to perfect her plan in her mind to escort Avril out of town.
It is obviously very difficult when there are enemies all around.
Mora has been thinking about it for half a year, but after half a year, there has been no progress.
Of course, it was not possible for her to prepare everything in the short time she was in.
An hour later, the sun rose.
She came near the hotel and, looking over the roofs of the low buildings, she could see the upper part of the hotel bathed in sunlight.
After thinking for a moment about how to test the Lord of Aigi City, she walked towards the gate.
When I reached the door, as expected, the guard raised his hand to stop me.
He showed a token with a stern face and was allowed to pass.
After asking for the room number at the front desk, she walked up the stairs to the door.
"咚咚-"
"Which one?"
A very gentle lady opened the door.
Looking at the woman's soft facial lines, Mora thought to herself, this should be the wife of Lord Edge?
"Hello young lady, I'm Palina, are you looking for the city lord?"
The gentle tone awakened Maura's wandering thoughts, and she smiled like a business person: "Yes, is Lord Aggie here?"
"Sister Palina, brother the city lord is still sleeping."
Maura looked through the half-open door and saw a cat girl in pajamas and slippers.
Subhuman?
There is actually a Lake professional who would bring a sub-human with him?
Hmm... I'm such a lazy guy. It's already so late and I haven't gotten up yet...
"I am up."
As the voice came out of the house, a middle-aged man in a robe walked towards the entrance.
"Who are you, Miss?"
"I am Her Highness Avril's personal maid. I am visiting you this time on Her Highness' orders."
As he spoke, he looked at the robe of the city lord in front of him.
Did he just get up? Doesn't he sleep with his clothes on?
"Well..." Aggie smiled, "What's your name?"
"Maura."
"Miss Maura, please go to the living room and wait. I'll be there soon."
There is an empty reception room on each floor of the hotel, at the end of the corridor.
"Ok."
After replying, Maura turned and walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
She didn't have to wait too long. After about two minutes, Aggie pushed the door open and sat on the sofa opposite her.
There were still many things to do later, and Mora didn't want to waste time, so he got straight to the point and said, "Lord Aigi, His Royal Highness the Second Prince went to Her Royal Highness the Princess's palace late last night."
Aggie nodded and motioned to continue.
"My purpose in coming to you is simple. Lord Edge, may I ask what is the basis for your claim that you can deal with Jarvis?"
"I'm sorry, but this is my secret."
Maura had thought it through before going upstairs. Instead of asking in a roundabout way and being evaded by the other party with vague answers, it would be better to ask directly.
No matter what reason you make up, you have to give an explanation.
Maybe the reason might seem lame, but Maura felt it wasn't so absurd that it couldn't fool even a child.
Although she was fully prepared mentally, she was still dumbfounded when Aggie finished speaking.
"Secret?" Mora said seriously, "Lord Aigi, Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot accept this explanation.
Do you think that the two princes will fully cooperate with you just because of such a far-fetched reason?"
As she stared at him, the corners of Aggie's mouth slowly rose: "Miss Maura, you seem to have some misunderstanding."
She was stunned, and before she woke up, Aiji continued, "My contacts with His Royal Highness the Second Prince are all based on the common interests of both parties.
Where did you get the illusion that I had to seek your trust?"
Standing up, he looked down at Mora: “I contacted the Second Prince to reveal my plan, telling him that if he wants to survive, he can cooperate with me and don’t get hurt by me by mistake.
It’s not that I need your support in order to survive.”
After saying that, Aggie strode out of the house.
In the quiet room, Maura stood up with a frown on her face, a confused expression.
She was not angry even though she was criticized by some unfriendly words.
After all, what the other party said was true.
And most importantly... Mora always felt that the words and actions of Lord Edge were particularly familiar.
It's very faint, like the scent of flowers smelled from ten miles away, vague and fuzzy.
The goal of this trip has been achieved. Although Mora is not very satisfied, but Edge has made his attitude clear. There is no need for Mora to dwell on it. He leaves the hotel and walks towards the north gate.
Walking slowly on the cobblestone road, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.
I seemed to have seen it somewhere... that tough but not rude tone, gentleness suddenly turned into coldness.
Where is it...
Maura's eyebrows were almost knitted together.
Finally, after passing through the city gate, her eyes lit up.
Mr. Zhang Mu!
Mr. Zhang Mu is like this!
Recalling the not-so-long time she had spent together with Zhang Mu, Mora was very sure that the attitude was exactly the same.
There are actually two people in the world who are so similar.
Maura didn't think that the two were the same person.
Putting aside the difference in identities between the two parties, one is a lone magician and the other is a city lord appointed by the kingdom. There is no possibility of intertwining at all.
Let's just say Mr. Zhang Mu has been confirmed...
The light in Maura's eyes dimmed.
your Highness……
Loneliness filled her heart. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then quickly walked to the woods. With the grave as the center, she carefully searched the surrounding area for possible clues.
Unfortunately, until the sun set, she gained nothing, just like in the past.
Maura returned to the palace with her head down and found Avril taking a nap on the sofa in the bedroom.
"Your Highness, I'm back."
Avril lay on her side and slowly opened her eyes. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped: "Are you back?
Is there any progress in the investigation?"
"same as usual."
"Where is Lord Aggie?"
"He said that the way to deal with Bishop Jarvis was his own secret."
"So there is no proof?"
