Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 168 Classic Temporary Worker

Sodrak Palace.

Audrey, dressed in her best clothes, stood beside Yu Jin and introduced:

"This is the party hall. The king and queen will be present, and all the nobles will welcome the new year here. And I will also come of age here."

Audrey's face was filled with expectation and pride, but also a little nervous. This made the other noble young men and women around her smile knowingly, as if they knew exactly why Audrey was like this.

Many young nobles felt regretful or even heartbroken, because they didn't even know when Backlund's most dazzling gem was taken away. That was why many young people looked at Yu Jin with hostility.

Yu Jin didn't care about other people's gazes, but asked with interest:

"Where will His Majesty come from?"

"there."

Audrey blinked and pointed in a direction, explaining, "We are now in the harem of the Sodrak Palace, and His Majesty the King will handle government affairs in the front palace during the day. When His Majesty the King is done, he will come over there, and we will have the honor of meeting the greatest king in the history of the Kingdom of Loen!"

Audrey's face showed an expression of reverence, and anyone who saw this scene would have no doubt that she was a loyal supporter of George III.

The queen, who was directing the servants to set up the New Year's Eve party not far away, also heard her voice and came to the two of them with a smile on her face:

"Audrey."

"Ah, your Majesty!"

Audrey exclaimed, seeming a little flustered, and then seemed a little worried that Yu Jin was neglecting the queen, so she pulled him to salute together.

The queen smiled and said:

"No need to be so polite. You're here a little early. I still have some things to arrange. Are Earl Hall and Hibbert here?"

The queen's voice was very soft, without any of the airs of a queen. Instead, she spoke in a gentle and soft voice, like an older sister next door.

The queen's gentleness seemed to infect the girl, making Audrey less nervous. She winked playfully:
"Dad and the others had some stuff to take care of, so Ash and I snuck over here."

"Your Majesty, do you need any help?"

The queen looked at Audrey with a smile. She was obviously worried that she would be scolded by Earl Hall, so she came to him. Because as long as the queen said that she needed Audrey's help and asked her to come early, Earl Hall would not blame Audrey even if he was dissatisfied.

Moreover, the Queen also knew that Earl Hall's relationship with the royal family had become strained recently due to some misunderstandings, and as the Queen, she had the obligation to share the King's worries. Therefore, if she could use Audrey as a medium to have a good talk with Earl Hall, eliminate the misunderstanding and reconcile, it would be a good thing for the royal family.

As her thoughts turned, the queen chuckled and said:
"Okay, then Audrey, you stay with me, but don't complain about being tired~!"

The queen looked at the ember beside her and asked, "Viscount Black, do you want to come with us?"

She knew that this noble from Winter County, although his title was not high, his heritage was quite ancient, and he was a loyal believer of the Church of the Night. This was contrary to the interests of the royal family to some extent, but it did not affect his common interests as a nobleman in the royal family, so the queen still spoke in a pleasant manner.

Yu Jin nodded slightly and bowed:
"Happy to oblige."

Audrey smiled faintly. As long as they stayed with the Queen from beginning to end, with the Queen as a guarantee, they would have a perfect alibi.

Not far from them, the unattended teardrop glanced at Audrey silently, then quietly left the party hall and headed for the front palace. Along the way, there were a large number of servants coming and going for the party arrangements, and occasionally, they could meet guards guarding the palace. But no matter who it was, no matter how far away, even if they passed by her, no one could detect her presence.

Her mission is to find George III, but Sodrak Palace is too big.

So even though she was sure that George III was in the front palace, and even though she had a map of the entire palace in her mind, it was still not an easy task to find George III in this huge palace.

Of course, the situation would be completely different if someone led the way.

But as an assassin, the Fake Teardrop obviously couldn't find anyone willing to lead the way for her.

Just as I was thinking about it, a figure suddenly came towards me and passed by.

He was an old man, wearing a shirt, vest, a three-piece suit, striped blue-grey trousers, and a dark red bow tie. His hair was already completely white but still thick, and he had a gentle and elegant temperament. He had a pair of blue eyes that seemed to be full of wisdom and knowledge, and except for the heavy forehead wrinkles, there were basically no wrinkles on other parts of his face.

The guards along the way all showed great respect to him. They all bowed their heads slightly when he passed by. The chief guard said respectfully:
"Mr. Rambis, how can I help you?"

The old man waved his hand and laughed:
"No, no. I just came from His Majesty's place. I was just taking a walk and was about to go to the party hall."

The captain of the guards had no suspicion and kindly warned: "Please be careful. Many nobles will come to the palace today. Most of them know you, but some of them are not so well-educated."

The old man smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, many of them are my students, they won't do anything to me."

The teardrop stopped not far away and looked at the old man quietly.

This is one of the goals, but not the main one.

In addition, considering the direction the other party was heading, it was obviously not something she needed to worry about.

After a brief thought, the imitation teardrop gave up its current target and left in the direction the other party came from - Hvin Rambis had just returned from George III, which meant that he was coming from the direction where George III was.

Hvin Rambis obviously had no idea that the teardrops were passing by him, and he almost lost his life. He just smiled kindly as always, and walked towards the party hall after chatting with the captain of the guards.

As a royal adviser, he will also attend tonight's New Year's Eve party.

And he will reach an 'out-of-court settlement' with Earl Hall here based on the wishes of His Majesty the King.

Earl Hall was resentful of being hypnotized, so he had been actively connecting with the nobles to seek justice. However, His Majesty the King did not want to make a big fuss for the sake of the royal family's reputation, so the best option was to "settle out of court."

As long as Earl Hall, the person involved, gave up the collusion, there would naturally be no need for the other nobles to persist.

As for how to give Earl Hall an explanation, it is not difficult - just hand over the "murderer" who hypnotized Earl Hall. This is not a difficult task, because Hvin Rambis has enough "apprentices" who can "take on" this blame.

"Can you do it?"

In a villa near the Sodrak Palace in the Queens District, a young girl with a round face and a gentle and sweet temperament sat in front of the dressing table and asked impatiently.

Edsak, who was adjusting his dress, heard this, pulled his tie, and asked:

"Don't you know if I can do it?"

The gentle and sweet Triss sneered, "Don't forget, I used to take out a bigger one than yours."

"Emperor Roselle once said that a hero does not talk about his past achievements. You are a woman now."

Edsak corrected her misconception with a serious face, telling her not to dwell on the past. After a pause, he added, "A real woman!"

Triss stared at him and sneered:

"That doesn't change the fact that I used to take out a bigger one than you."

Edessak sighed and did not continue to argue with her. After all, Emperor Roselle said that a good man does not fight with a woman. "I'm serious."

Seeing his look, Triss couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't talk about offering a gorgeous rebellion to your father, but in the end you can't even enter the palace. Besides, we can't hide for long."

As she spoke, she glanced at the aristocratic couple who were knocked unconscious on the bed. They were the owners of this villa, and the two of them were just cuckoos occupying the magpie's nest. On this special day, someone would soon notice their "disappearance".

Edsak had a crazy smile on his face: "Triss, you still don't understand. I am no longer the same person I was before!"

Triss was silent for a long time, her eyes subconsciously looking towards the garden outside the window.

Under the bright lights, the tall knights wearing forge armor, holding swords and shields, or holding spears and shields, looked mighty and majestic, exuding an astonishing and terrifying aura. Triss knew that the strength of each forge knight here was at least equivalent to that of a Sequence 4 Saint.

And there are five such knights under Edessak!

Even among the stronger secret organizations, the Aurora Society, they only have five saints in total!
Triss knew very well what such strength meant.

But what Edessak has to deal with now is the Royal Family of Loen. It is impossible for the Royal Family of a great country to be unable to produce five demigods.

What's more, there are probably angels in the royal family.

The five saints were undoubtedly an extremely powerful force, but to use them to fight against the Loen royal family was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and was overestimating their own capabilities.

Triss wanted to dissuade Edsak from seeking revenge against the royal family, but what reason could she give to dissuade him?
What's more, it is not up to them to decide whether to take revenge on the royal family.

Triss wiped the ring on her hand and sighed softly:
"As you wish."

At worst, they would die together in the palace. They were the ones who deserved to die anyway.

It's not a bad thing to make a big scene before dying, right?

The corners of Triss's mouth curled up slightly, and her sweet smile outlined two small dimples.
-
Sodrak Palace, Gala Hall.

Audrey followed the queen and was busy preparing for tonight's party.

At this moment, an old man wearing a shirt, vest, a three-piece suit, striped blue-grey trousers and a dark red bow tie took the initiative to step forward, with a kind smile on his face, bowed and said:

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Audrey."

Audrey smiled faintly and greeted with perfect etiquette:

"Me too, nice to meet you, Mr. Rambis."

Hvin Rambis smiled and nodded, then looked at the ember and said with a smile:
"Lord Black, I've heard of you."

"Eh?"

Audrey showed a surprised expression at the right time, "Mr. Rambis, have you met Ash?"

Hvin Rambis laughed and said:
"No, this is our first meeting. But as the noble who captured the heart of Backlund's most dazzling gem, Viscount Black's reputation has long spread throughout Backlund. Even I have heard of Viscount Black's reputation."

Audrey's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at Yu Jin with some shyness, reproach and anger.

And Ember's gaze fell on Hvin Rambis, and he glanced at the top of his head.

[Hervin Rambis, the 'Arrogant']

Hvin Rambis stopped talking and said goodbye with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Miss Audrey, Viscount Black, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

"Goodbye, Mr. Rambis."

Audrey said goodbye obediently and politely, and watched Rambis leave with Yu Jin, with a faint smile on her face until Rambis disappeared from sight.

Audrey suddenly whispered:
"I don't like him very much."

Although the other party acted like a kind old scholar, Audrey always felt that his attitude seemed a little, well, arrogant.

Audrey also knew that this was probably caused by her stereotype, because she knew Hvin Rambis's true identity and the things he had done, so she felt that he had bad intentions...

"What a coincidence, so am I."

Yu Jin shrugged, and his right hand shook slightly, as if he was holding something.

But upon closer inspection, there was nothing in his hands.

Combined with the shrugging action, it is really hard for people to suspect him.

Hvin Rambis, who had already walked a long way, frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.

He didn't know where Audrey's malice towards him came from, but she had obviously whispered something that the Saint could hear. But it didn't matter. As a Saint, he didn't need to be so picky with a noble lady.

"She's really a little girl who doesn't know how to hide."

Hvin Rambis chuckled, shook his head, and walked away.

What he didn't notice was that right behind him.

A tall and sexy female figure, covered in a cloak and light armor, was following closely.

She was standing just one step behind him, as if he could see her if he turned around.

But neither Hvin Rambis nor the people passing by him noticed her presence.

In her hand, she was holding a short knife with several winding spikes, which was flashing with a cold black light.
