"If he comes, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
"This just helps me vent my anger."
Greco chatted with Hibbert Manor for a while, looking towards the gate of the manor. Soon, two carriages belonging to the Hastur family arrived at the gate.
Hastur got off the carriage first, and then walked to the next carriage. Xio opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at Hastur anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth and stepped out of the carriage.
Tonight, Xio, although due to his height, could not show off his graceful figure like those aristocratic ladies, he was able to show off his youthful, cute and petite side very well.
From the selection of evening gowns to the matching of various jewelry, we provide services based on these requirements.
The effect is very good, more eye-catching than some royal princesses.
Greco joked in a wicked way: "Hibbert, Miss Audrey didn't come tonight. Could it be that she specifically made room for this lady?"
"I rarely get involved in matters between them." Hibbert smiled and lowered his voice slightly: "I saw several members of the royal family who didn't seem to have a good look on their faces, and they were gathering together to discuss countermeasures. This lady’s visit is the highlight of the night.”
Greco let out a light sigh, looked at him carefully for a while and said, "I am somewhat impressed. Do you remember Mason Dill, the former commander of the Royal Guards?"
Hibbert narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "Remember, Mason Dill was sentenced to hanging for treason, his family title and fief were taken away, and the entire Dill family perished."
"Hugh Dilcha, her original name should be Hugh Dilcha. She should be Mason Dill's daughter."
They and even the royal family had conducted an investigation into the people Hastur had contact with.
The petite and fast-moving Miss Hugh Dilcha was naturally within the scope of their investigation.
Considering that Hastur chose to bring her to the party tonight, its intention is self-evident.
It's no wonder that some members of the royal family have ugly faces because of this. This is to settle old scores, even though George III has not been dead for long.
"Hasta
Don't worry, I'm not nervous anymore." Xio took a few deep breaths and finally regained his usual calmness, but the strong fire in his heart was still burning.
Regarding the unjust case of her father's rebellion, she has thoroughly investigated it. It was all framed by King George III just because her father saw something he shouldn't have seen.
After the death of George III, although her great revenge was avenged, the honor of her father and the Dill family was not restored.
In order to achieve this goal, she declined Lord Sage's invitation and still chose to stick to Backlund. Finally, tonight, the opportunity she had been waiting for came.
"I believe you can handle your feelings well and collect enough evidence. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have evidence, as long as I say yes." Hastur glanced at the lively and luxurious manor, stretched out his arm, Smiling: "Miss Hugh Dill, it's time for us to go to the party."
The appearance of Hastur and Xio naturally attracted a lot of attention.
There are at least five theories popular among the nobles regarding the conflict between Earl Hastur Campbell and the Roen royal family.
Since Hastur went to South Wales for business, three Grand Dukes of South Wales have died. It is hard not to think about this.
There are also the mysterious deaths of King George III and Govington II, which make people even more fearful of the young-looking Earl Hastur Campbell, although there is no evidence.
Since the new king came to the throne, the Roen royal family has been trying to win over Earl Hastur Campbell, but they have always been hot-faced and cold-blooded. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy in this.
The party was held as usual, but many eyes fell on Xio next to Hastur.
The person hosting the party tonight on behalf of the Luen royal family is Duke Georgina Augustus.
It is said that she was not the original candidate to host the party. After seeing Hastur bringing Hugh to the party, the royal family temporarily gave Duke Georgina Augustus the position.
Soon, the normal party process was completed. Led by Georgina Augustus, Duke Negan Greco, the Prime Minister, Earl Hall, Hastur and eight other nobles came to the secret meeting on the second floor. In the room, they discussed and sorted out the various major events that happened in the Loen Kingdom this year.
"You are more troublesome and a bastard than your father." Seeing Hasta leading Xio to attend this meeting openly, Georgina Augustus finally couldn't help but scold him.
Chapter 528 Yellow Clothes Church
"The friendship between your parents is not a capital that you can speak freely, and if you do something wrong, you should pay the price. This is a very simple truth."
Hasta just calmly led Xio to his position and asked Xio to bring out some evidence that she had already prepared.
"Haha, will the eagle soaring in the sky forget the kindness of feeding him before leaving the nest?" Georgina Augustus' tone was still very unkind.
"If you have carefully studied my life, you should know that I definitely hate my nominal father more than I love him."
Georgina Augustus was silent for a while, no longer so quarrelsome. She turned to look at Xio aside, rubbed her brows and said, "Daughter of Mason Dill, what do you want to ask for tonight?"
"My father, he is so upright and kind, he must not die unjustly on the charge of rebellion!" Xio's eyes turned red.
"I can help your father restore his reputation and return the title and fiefdom of the Dill family to you." Georgina Augustus nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"
"The mastermind who framed my father's unjust death must receive the punishment he deserves."
"Death is like a lamp going out. It's hard for me to agree to this condition."
Xio took a deep breath before saying, "I want to make the truth known to the public and completely restore my father's innocence."
Hearing this, Georgina Augustus frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Hasta aside.
Mason Dill’s case was simple. The mastermind behind his unjust death on charges of treason was George III. This was no secret within the royal family.
But now that George III has died, wanting to reveal the truth is similar to the Loen royal family issuing a self-incriminating edict for this.
Such behavior will greatly affect the authority of the Loen royal family.
And this is not the only wrong thing that George III did. It should be said that every king is like this. There is no king with clean hands.
"Miss Hugh Dill, may I have a word with you in private?"
Georgina Augustus saw that the main breakthrough to solve tonight's matter was Hugh.
Xio hesitated for a moment, then agreed to the request when Hastur didn't express anything special. About ten minutes later, the two of them returned.
Xio was in a good mood, but still slightly dissatisfied, while Georgina Augustus looked much more relaxed.
Hastur roughly understood what the two had just talked about. Georgina Augustus should have dismissed George III's mistakes and blamed them on partial beliefs and lax scrutiny, and used this to introduce another scapegoat for slander. , thereby concealing the disgraceful history of George III from the public.
Although he was not very satisfied with this solution, Xio had already accepted it, and judging from her usual style, she would probably stay in the Loen Kingdom to work in the future, so she didn't say anything more.
To solve the problem of Hasta, Georgina Augustus naturally led the meeting conversation on the right track. Hasta only listened and did not express his opinion.
On the other hand, as for Greg, who has now inherited the title, his uncle, the Prime Minister, seems to have given in, and is gradually praising him as the family talker.
After the meeting, Georgina Augustus
I want to invite Hastur to stay and talk to him alone.
"I'm not as casual as my father."
Hastur just replied lightly, and led Xio out of the manor under her angry eyes.
Along the way, Xio didn't say anything. He just held tightly a small bag of meager evidence that he had worked so hard to collect.
No one looked at the so-called evidence, and Duke Georgina Augustus didn't even have the intention to take back the evidence.
This undoubtedly made Xio feel depressed and an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
After driving Xio back to the street where she lived, before getting off the bus, Xio said in a depressed tone: "Do my efforts look ridiculous in their eyes?"
The word "them" is used here, but Hastur knows that he is also in this category.
"It turned out well, didn't it?"
"..." Xio was silent for a while, "I will still keep working hard."
Hastur just smiled and said: "The royal family should compensate you with a manor, and you can move in with Forsi."
"Thank you Mr. Hastur."
Xio bowed seriously, then stepped out of the carriage, lifted up her skirt and went upstairs, as if she was eager to tell Forsi the good news.
……
On December 12st, in the West District, near Green Park Street, a brand new building was finally revealed to the eyes of passers-by.
A few months ago, a large piece of land here was suddenly purchased by a mysterious buyer for a large sum of money. Then the nearby area was fenced off and a large number of construction workers were called in to start work.
People passing by can only see the dusty scene inside from a distance, and cannot find out what is being built here.
It was not until today that the fence surrounding the perimeter was removed, and the buildings that had been under construction for many days were finally exposed to the eyes of tourists.
This is a building with an obvious church style, mainly yellow and black, with yellow walls and black pointed protrusions. The glass is not ordinary painted, but dotted with star spots, like stars. The fragments blend into the glass surface little by little.
Entering the interior of the church, there is a dark and dark tone, like a dark night shrouding it. What is responsible for illuminating the church are the candles hanging on the walls, ceilings, and both sides of the corridor.
What is different from ordinary candles is that once these special candles are lit, the light they emit is neither fiery red nor orange, but rather a hazy light blue light.
When they were all lit, the entire church seemed to bloom into a starry sky.
In the central hall and prayer hall of the church, there is a statue of the King in Yellow. There is no specific face, only the ragged yellow clothes outline the general shape. There is a book floating on his chest, called "The Prophecy of Prophecy". Book".
There is a courtyard inside the church. Going deeper from the courtyard is a small forest that looks like a natural forest. In the center of the small forest, there is a natural lake in a circular shape.
This was the biggest consideration for the Yellow Monks organization in choosing this location.
In Queens, inside the villa, Hasta is sitting in the study, listening to Mrs. Lisa's detailed introduction to the scenery of the Yellow Church based on a church drawing.
After the introduction, Hastur asked, "Have all the invitations to the founding ceremony been sent out in advance?
"
"It's been done. Please rest assured, Lord Angel." Mrs. Lisa paused, put away the church drawings and said, "I'm just worried that there may be an accident tonight."
"It is not good?"
Hasta saw the worry in Mrs. Lisa's heart, "Or do you think that the gods you believe in are not enough to suppress the scene?"
Lady Lisa quickly denied that she had such an idea, and then Hastur asked her if she was ready to become pope.
Pope, Monk in Yellow, Sequence 1 of the Extraordinary Path, even Mrs. Lisa herself is not sure whether she can be promoted.
"Perhaps a miracle will come again."
"This is what I have been waiting for,"
Mrs. Lisa said goodbye and left. Hastur stayed in the study for a while, then led Sharon and Azshara out for shopping.
As the New Year approaches, Backlund is once again busy.
At No. 160 Berklund Street, Klein, who still maintained his Monopoly persona, finally waited for Mr. Azik who came from the far northern ice field.
At this time, I was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, listening to Mr. Azik talk about his travel life during this period.
From seal fishing in the northern ice field to the current chaos in the Feysac Empire, Mr. Azik, who has experienced it all personally, slowly narrates it in his plain and gentle tone.
Klein seemed to be following Mr. Azik's narration on an adventure and journey.
"I really want to go out and have a look." Klein said with emotion.
