Why did Dortmund and Somme mention this?

At that time, a serious riot did break out in Yinguang City. Sudden mine disasters caused hundreds of absenteeism to die, while employers were only willing to compensate the free people for the losses. Their attitude of turning a blind eye to the refugee class hired at low prices aroused the anger of the families of the victims.

The refugees who were unwilling to wait for death flocked out of the mining area, burning, killing and looting all the way, and finally relied on the suppression of the Knights of the Royal Capital to restore order.

The parents left for a long time that day but did not return until the siblings were sent to the old Gelan's house, and Nightingale heard the cause of their parents' death from each other.

But the meaning in Viscount's words does not seem to be the case?

She did not expect that an accident that had lasted more than ten years still had the possibility of subversion.If it was true as the other party said, what was to be investigated this time would no longer be the only relationship between Hyde and the Somei family.

Nightingale quietly exited the room, walked through the layers of floors, and came to the basement floor, and then activated the listening sign that she carried with her.

The things that Roland had prepared were just to get her back at any time, but they didn't expect that this would come in handy.

It's really suspicious. Roland on the other end of the talisman replied after listening to the story, so you have to stay in the mansion for a longer time?

Yes, I want to wait until the evening to ask Hyde in person...he might know something.The Nightingale hesitated, Sorry, Your Majesty, I...

There is nothing to apologize for, Roland quickly interrupted her. I will wait for you in the camp until you finish your investigation.Don't worry, it's very safe here. As long as I don't go out, it's not considered a violation of the agreement.But you have to pay attention to your safety and don’t be too impulsive. No matter what the situation is, report it to me every two hours.

A warm current surged in the Nightingale's heart. She was silent for a while before responding softly, Yes, I understand.

……

It was not until the moonlight outside the skylight disappeared that Nightingale left the cellar and walked towards the room where Hyde was, before she confirmed her brother's location.

The moon sets in the west means that the time is approaching 3:00 a.m., and most people are already asleep. Even the guards who are vigilant are inevitably sleepy, so it is also the most suitable time for her to act.

Hyde's bedroom is located on the first floor of the mansion, near the back garden. Generally speaking, only servants and less important guests will be placed here. This has indirectly confirmed that the words of the two guards, Viscount Dort did not take the heirs of the Glen family too seriously, and at the same time made Nightingale realize that the friendship of the Somme family in childhood was probably disguised.

However, the other party's contemptuous attitude made her much easier. There was no one guarding the entire hall from the aisle. In this way, even if any accident happened, she had enough time to get out.

After entering the bedroom, Nightingale pulled her brother out of the quilt directly. When he woke up from his dream and had not yet fully recovered from his senses, a dagger with a cold light had already been pressed against his neck.

You will die by screaming, asking for help, and crying. Do you understand?She stood behind Hyde and whispered.

The latter nodded in a hurry.

Very good, now turn around and see who I am?

Hyde took a quick photo, but his eyes widened as he saw the person's face clearly through the dim moonlight!If it weren't for the dagger on his neck, he would almost scream.

But he finally managed to hold it back.

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

Why are you here?Hyde said in a trembling voice, "Don't you be dead long ago?"

The moment he heard him speak, the dusty memories of the past suddenly surged into her heart. At that moment, Nightingale seemed to have returned to Old Gelan's home. The pain of betrayal by her brother and the exploitation of her distant relative made her feel in pain, and even her consciousness became a little dazed.

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

Why do you say so?She bit her tongue, letting the rust smell dispel the distracting thoughts in her mind.

Because, because... Hyde swallowed, Tifeko searched the capital and surrounding cities several times, and claimed that all the witches had been executed by him.No, but Veronica, I mean, sister... I didn't want you to die. I was shocked when I heard this news and thought that if you didn't leave without authorization, maybe nothing would happen.

Veronica... She hasn't heard this name for a long time, but after many years, she no longer trusts the other person as easily as before.

The magic that shook like a string had already told her that the second half of the answer was all lies.

How did you get together with Viscount Dortsomi?

Well, this... he was slightly absent. After Old Gelan died, the family often quarreled. I didn't know very well. I only knew that when I inherited the title, there was almost no savings in the mansion.At this moment, Lord Viscount came to the door, and I had no choice.lie

He forced you to join the Somie family?

Yes, he said that if I don't agree, I will get rid of me... Lies

Then what are you doing for him now?The nightingale said quietly, "Do you help the poor?"

No, Hyde gritted his teeth, he was just using me as a guise, and was actually selling dream water!The mice that transported his goods were mixed in the crowd, and I only discovered his trick recently!

The first half of the sentence magic did not respond, but the second half was still a lie.

But Nightingale found that she was not angry, and even felt a little relaxed... Yes, it was this feeling, and this was the state she should be in normal conversation.

There are constant lies, real and false... People's hearts always change a lot, and even if blood is connected, they cannot hear the other person's true voice.

Since her ability awakened, she has long been accustomed to such situations, whether she is facing lies without changing her expression or stripping away the truth from layers of bluffs.

On the contrary, Roland's conversation that rarely detects the beating of magic makes it difficult for her to adapt for a while.

At this moment, the shadow killer lurking in the darkness and trembling with the nobles in the central region is back.

What are your plans next?

Hearing this sentence, Hyde suddenly fell to the ground and begged mournfully, "Sister, please help me!"

Help you?

He climbed forward two steps, I know it was not good for me before...but I am your brother Ah!Lord Viscount didn't treat me as an aristocrat at all. You saw that he actually used his servant's house for me. The restoration of this mansion was just to hide his eyes and keep staying here. Sooner or later, he will attack me!

So you want me to take you away?

Walk?Then there is nothing left?Hyde shook his head in panic, then said hatefully, "You killed Old Glen, right?"Although you don’t know what abilities you are using, you can easily enter here and you will definitely enter his bedroom.Sister, kill him!As long as he dies, I have the chance to become a true Somei nobleman!Then, you will kill all the other heirs one by one, and this territory... and all the Somei family's industries belong to us!

Nightingale stared at his eyes, without answering for a long time, until Hyde lowered her head uneasily again, she said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question first."

Yes, yes... The younger brother responded quickly.

Why did you betray me back then?The nightingale asked word by word.
