Chapter 176 Mystery 2
In the Embassy of the Principality of Eaton, a waiter was walking uneasily in the corridor.
He came to the room where the Grand Duke and his wife were staying, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
But he hesitated when he reached out his hand. The princess was resting inside. If it were in the past, she would never mind being disturbed while she was resting.
But it’s hard to tell now. After getting up in the morning, a maid was scolded for using a little force when combing her hair.
This was simply unimaginable before. You know, Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess is famous for her good temper, and she has always been generous to the servants around her.
However, the servants all understood that the reason why His Highness's personality changed drastically was because her sister, Countess Fanny, had disappeared, or to be more precise, had been kidnapped.
After all, Dame Fanny is His Highness’s only close relative besides her husband.
To make matters worse, no clues were found for several days.
After hesitating for a while, the waiter knocked on the door.
A voice containing fatigue and worry came from inside: "What's the matter?"
The waiter felt distressed for a while, Father in Heaven, please don't torture this poor His Highness anymore.
He answered carefully: "Your Highness, a lady who claims to be Ladi Setia Gerald came to see you. She said that she has an old relationship with you, and we cannot refuse."
"Did she bring news about Fanny?"
There was a hint of anxiety in the Grand Duchess's voice.
"Sorry, Your Highness."
"Missing!"
"Yes."
The waiter turned around and was about to leave, when the voice of the Grand Duchess suddenly came from inside:< br>
“La Di, it’s La Di! Bring her in, bring her in quickly?”
The waiter was a little confused, but it was obvious that the Grand Duchess had changed her mind, and the lady who came to visit did know His Highness, and it seemed that they had a normal relationship.
He immediately walked quickly outside.
The voice of the Grand Duchess continued to be heard in the room: "Ladi! Ladi Setia Gerald, I knew you would appear by my side when I was most helpless."
......
Ladi walked through the corridor under the guidance of the waiter and came to the door of the Grand Duke and his wife's room. The two maids guarding the door opened the door of the room.
She looked inside and saw a beautiful lady sitting on the sofa. After the door opened, she immediately stood up and looked over.
This is the Grand Duchess of Eton - Her Royal Highness Helen. This Highness has chestnut hair and a pair of charming brown eyes. She was once a famous beauty in Corner Bay. Back then, she and the Grand Duke of Eton After the engagement was made public, it broke the hearts of many young nobles.
But at this time, although Her Majesty Helen's appearance remains as beautiful as before, her complexion has lost its former radiance. In the eyes of those around her, in just a few days, Her Majesty's entire body has become thinner. After walking around for a while, it was really distressing.
La Di sighed and walked into the room. The princess waved slightly, the waiter who brought La Di bowed and left, and the two maids outside closed the door of the room.
Now only Ladi and the Grand Princess are left in the room.
With no one else around, the princess lost control of her emotions. She walked quickly to La Di, hugged her, and said in tears:
"Ladi! You know everything about my sister, right? I ...What should I do now? If something happens to Fanny, how can I explain it to my parents in heaven?" "Senior Helen..."
Ladi caressed He whispered comfort on the other person's back.
"There will always be a way. I am here to help you."
"Well~Thank you, thank you."
The Grand Princess Helen sobbed and thanked her. Although her reason told her that Ladi's abilities were limited and she probably wouldn't be able to make a big difference, but what she had grasped now was Every straw has to be tried.
La Di helped the Grand Duchess sit back on the sofa, held her hand and said: "Sister Helen, please calm down first and explain to me in detail the clues you know, those 'special' ones" Clues."
Her Highness Helen calmed down and described what happened in detail.
La Di noticed the key point: "So, the most suspicious thing about the whole process is that the guards and clerks collectively 'forgot' their memories for how many hours?"
Her Royal Highness Helen nodded and said: "Yes, magic, this must be the effect of magic."
Ladi asked: "Could this be caused by drugs? For example, amnesia grass."
>The Grand Princess shook her head and said with great certainty: "No, as far as I know, there is no drug that can accurately control people to forget their memories for a few hours. Although amnesia grass can also cause people to lose their memory, its The time period is random, and there is a high probability that all memories from the beginning will be erased. "
"But whether it is Fanny's followers and guards, or the owner and clerk of the store, their previous memories. Nothing has been lost, but the memory of the most critical hours on the day of the crime has been lost. It is magic, and only magic can achieve this effect."
"In addition, this is the most direct evidence!"
She took out something and put it on the table. It was a stone, a slightly black stone.
La Di recognized the stone immediately, "The magic stone?"
"Yes, after suspecting that the person who kidnapped Fanny was a mage, I went to the store myself After checking it out, this stone confirmed my suspicion.”
Helen Elvis, the Grand Duchess of the Principality of Eton, has another hidden identity besides her noble aristocratic status. —Mage.
With the help of her noble status, her identity as a mage was well hidden. Although the witch-hunting movement in the south intensified, no one knew about it, not even her husband, the Archduke of Eton.
So far, only two people know her secret, one is the mentor who guides her to become a mage, and the other is Ladi Setia Gerald, a school girl who studies magic with her.
The princess cried and said: "What should I do? I can't tell my husband all this! He will definitely not be able to accept it!"
Ladi fell into a deep depression Doubt: "If it were our kind, why would they kidnap a noble girl with such a high status? Especially in today's severe period when the witch-hunting movement is growing, isn't such a high-profile and dangerous behavior asking for trouble? "
"Same kind?" The princess suddenly raised her voice, with a look of resentment in her originally beautiful eyes.
"Ladi, you actually think that people like this are the same kind? I never agree that people who commit such evil deeds are the same kind as us. He, or they, whether they are mages or not, are just Scum, scum, trash! I will cut them into pieces.”
La Di was a little worried. She knew very well that this senior had a kind and gentle personality in the past, but now she had a tendency to become darker. It seemed that her sister's kidnapping had been a huge blow to her.
After the other party calmed down a little, La Di asked softly: "Senior sister, think about it carefully, is there anything special about Fanny? It would make the mage interested in her, and she would be willing to take such a risk The big risk is to kidnap her."
"There is indeed something about Fanny that interests a mage."
The Grand Princess suddenly became calm and said slowly.
Thanks to "Zartoo" for the tip!
