Chapter 2829 The real conspiracy
Although she was no longer angry, Miss Danister still avoided talking to Shad about Lady Helena Carter, so Shad told her about the astrologer Euclid:
“Although the astrologer was not well-known, his divination ability was a little too strong. He not only predicted that the landlady would encounter troublesome tenants before her death, but also knew that Ms. Helena Carter would visit at that time.
But it seems that the astrologer didn't find what he was looking for in Riverwood Town. He seemed to have been to the Moon Goddess statue where I was recuperating. From the information I learned, his last stop before going to Mount Karas was Tobesk. I am very curious, after leaving Vista Glade, how long will it take for him to go to Tobesk. "
Miss Danister originally came to the local area in the hope of investigating the astrologer to investigate her teacher's disappearance. Now that Shade has even seen the black-haired sorceress with her own eyes, Mr. Euclid is no longer the focus. She was not interested in this topic, just listening to Shade and saying nothing.
At this time, Flora knocked on the door and walked in, showing Xia Deyang the letter in her hand:
"There's something wrong in town. There was a shooting at William of Anjou."
"Wait a minute, he wasn't assassinated again, was he? The gunshot wound on his arm hasn't healed yet?"
Xia De asked in surprise, and Flora shook her head:
"Charlotte is still there. The prince was not attacked. According to the news from Charlotte, William of Anjou shot and killed someone. The deceased was a young legal advisor to the local lumberjacks' association. It is certain that William of Anjou shot and killed someone. More than one person saw the scene.
It is said that William Anjou was visiting the Lumberjack Association accompanied by the mayor. When he was looking at the history of the local lumberjack industry at the exhibition hall, he saw the deceased, and then looked at him angrily for some reason. Then the young man reached into his pocket as if he wanted to take something out, so William Anjou, who was well prepared, pulled out his pistol and fired three shots at him.
Her description was quite vivid, and Miss Danister was somewhat puzzled:
“So, this is the prince killing someone in public in self-defense? Is that an overreaction? No, it makes sense, considering he’s been assassinated twice this year. But he still shot someone in public, and I don’t think the king will be very happy when he returns to Willendel.”
But Flora hadn't told them the most important news yet. She sat on the sofa and said to the two of them:
"That's not the worst. The worst thing is the identity of the deceased. He seems to be the illegitimate son the king is looking for. Royal family members fighting in the street is probably the biggest royal scandal in the past decade, no, in the past hundred years! I guarantee that tomorrow morning's newspaper sales will definitely be the most exaggerated so far this year."
"what?"
Xia De was just listening to something new, but now he was inevitably a little surprised:
"Wait a minute, are you sure that the deceased is the king's illegitimate son?"
"Yes, Charlotte said that after William of Anjou fired the gun, he angrily said that the deceased had been appearing in the places where he appeared in the past few days, and had smiled at him sinisterly several times just now, and even put his hand in his pocket in the end. However, when checking afterwards, it was found that there was an old pocket watch with the Royal Order of Anjou in the pocket of the deceased, and there was also a photo of the young King Lion.
The shooting happened twenty minutes ago, and my girls figured out the identity of the deceased before the police did. We can basically confirm his life story, which is consistent with the investigation report on illegitimate children by Director Kant. "
Flora said, and the red-haired girl gave a brief evaluation:
"It was so deliberate, it was like deliberately luring William of Anjou to shoot. But even though it was a cheap trick, it was really brilliant."
"It was indeed too deliberate. All these things happened just for today's scene."
Xia De also said this, frowning slightly and mentioning what happened before:
"William of Anjou got the information about the illegitimate child from Director Kant, and there is clear evidence that Director Kant is working with the Drenold Restorationists. The intelligence obtained by 'Gray Gloves' said that the Restorationists came to this place to plan a conspiracy against the royal family."
Flora nodded:
"I think so."
She stretched out her hand, leaving light and shadow in the air, and drew many exaggerated cartoon-style figures with simple strokes, letting them stand together, and all of them surrounded the dead person with "crosses" in his eyes:
"The Derinor Restorationists probably knew about the king's illegitimate child a long time ago. Then they deliberately leaked their intelligence to the Willendel side several months ago, luring William of Anjou's gray-gloved intelligence agents to the local area. Finally, they succeeded today and lured William of Anjou to shoot and kill his brother in public."
If the Anjou royal family could barely be considered Shade's "relatives", then the witch really had no connection with these people, so she was just speaking from a bystander's perspective:
"This is a very successful conspiracy. The killing of brothers is a huge blow to the prestige of the royal family. Moreover, the North and the South are now at war. If something like this happens to the royal family at this time, the domestic political environment may be very dangerous. Not to mention, after Delarion gets the information, he will definitely carry out large-scale propaganda to discredit the prestige of the Angevin royal family. Once the people begin to doubt the royal family, this will be the most fatal."
Flora shook her head gently, sighed and said:
"Charlotte said that the illegitimate child was adopted when he was young, and his adoptive parents, Marissa Kent and Faris Kent, were also at the scene. It was said that the two elderly people cried very sadly.
I don't know what role the illegitimate child played in this, and I don't know whether he was used by others or willing to die. If he died voluntarily in order to avenge his father, then the tragedy of this story will be even stronger. Tragedy has always been so touching. "
“That must be very sad for the old couple.”
The red-haired girl couldn't help but say, and Xia De blinked suddenly in surprise:
"Wait, who did you say?"
"Are you asking about the deceased? Constantine Kent, he just graduated from law school in Willendale and just returned to his hometown to work this spring. This is really a tragedy. I bet Gray Gloves will investigate the details of his life in Willendale. If they find out in the end that Constantine Kent had already contacted the Deringor Restorationists, wow, this conspiracy is really amazing."
Flora answered, but that was not what Shade wanted to ask. He confirmed again:
"You just said, what are the names of this illegitimate child's adoptive parents?"
The witch then repeated:
"Why do you ask? Marissa Kent and Farris Kent, what happened to them? Charlotte didn't say what they did."
"I'm familiar with these two names, but Marissa Kent wasn't married at the time, so her last name wasn't Kent yet."
Shade asked Miss Danister again:
"When I was telling the story just now, I mentioned that in 1821, Ms. Helena Carter and I used the [Ring of the Tail] left by the astrologer to help a pair of lovers. The names of the lovers were Marissa Trian and Faris Kent."
Although she was reluctant to discuss this with Shade, the red-haired girl still thought about it:
"Do you think the adoptive parents of the royal illegitimate child are the young lovers? That happened 33 years ago. If they didn't have a child ten years after their marriage, and they adopted an orphan more than years ago, the time would be right. Why, Shad, do you think there is a problem?"
Xia De shook his head. What happened 33 years ago had nothing to do with what was happening today. He just didn't expect to hear news about the two of them again, nor did he expect the news he heard again would be so sad.
As expected, the prince killed someone in the street, and the victim was suspected to be the royal illegitimate child. Or someone deliberately leaked the news. When Shade left Vista City in the evening, even the guests who were dining on the first floor of the Accordion Hotel were whispering about this big news.
Of course, this news has not yet spread to the distant city of Tobysk, but given the capabilities of MI6, it is impossible that they have not noticed this news.
Xia De had expected that this news would appear in various forms in the newspapers he read in the next month. When Xia De told Leixia about this incident that night, Leixia was also very sad:
"This is a true political conspiracy, and it's very bold and creative. If this happened in Delarion, even I would have a headache about how to deal with it when the news has been leaked. There are also capable people among the reactionaries in Carsenrick. Are they Derin'or Restorationists? I used to think they were just a group of dreamers who didn't accept reality and lived in the past. Now it seems that they are really capable of taking action."
Today is Saturday, and after dinner, Leisia went to Shade's house. As for why it wasn't Dorothy, it was because although Leisia and Dorothy could basically be regarded as one person, the two girls were obviously not truly one and the same.
Although they can share bodies and senses, Leicia also has to take care of her own body. It is obvious that the princess misses Shade very much.
Since Leisia left the Yodel Palace at night, Ajelina must have followed her, in addition to her maid. The little princess had nothing to do at night, so she read a book in front of the fireplace in the living room for a while, and then she listened to the conversation between Shade and her sister in the study.
After listening for a while, she realized that they were really telling the fairy tale about the elf turning into a crystal statue, so she lost interest and wanted to go find Mia to play with her for a while.
