Chapter 1051 282. Take action

“Why did Grand Duke Barbatod want to kill Princess Sayles?”

“I don’t know, the housekeeper just asked me to do this well. So I did Go find Sugra.”

Annan knew what happened next.

“Didn’t Archduke Babatot ask you to corrupt Reinardo?”

Renaldo looked solemn and did not interrupt. This is about your own innocence.

"He asked me to do it, but I didn't do it."

Whether you say Hunter is smart or loyal, following Babatado, no matter how capable he is, he is still a dead soldier.

In the past, Hunter could still accept it, but now he has become the captain of the military minister's bodyguard. There are no more than ten nobles in the entire kingdom who are more powerful than Renato. Why should he be a loyal dog of the Grand Duke?

The people who wanted Babatot to die the most were his enemies, followed by Hunter.

So Hunter delayed deliberately, and when the Archduke sent someone to ask, he said the progress was slow.

Grand Duke Babatot’s network is so big, it’s not that there are no nobles who cannot be corrupted, so he does not doubt that he is there, but he just places other spies around Renado one after another. There are overt and covert sentries, but they are all blocked. Hunter found it and captured it just now.

From this point of view, he did a good job.

"I'm sorry, Lord Renado, I lied to you..."

Reynardo's face didn't look good, but he still waved his hand: "It's not your fault."< br>


After asking Hunter everything he knew, they left the dungeon and returned to the study.

"Shall we do it?" Renaldo asked.

"Let me think about it again."

The person who is going to move this time is not a minion or a fringe person, but a real big shot. There were not ten but five MPs on his side.

Annan is not afraid of this. The question is, where will the Speaker of Parliament stand?

The Chairman of the Senate has a close relationship with Grand Duke Babatado, so when he identifies Baba Tod, will the Chairman choose to pop the pustule and become a legitimate guardian of the kingdom, or continue to cover it up as long as it is not spread out?

"Let me test the chairman's attitude first."

So far, Annan can accept it. Although he was unable to kill Babataud and cut a knife in the kingdom's main artery, he helped Princess Seles find the murderer and obtained conclusive evidence that could accuse the kingdom of colluding with the rat people at any time.

No matter what, you win.

“By the way, what are you going to do with Hunter?”

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Reynardo can no longer trust him. This is the fate of a spy, and Hunter knows this.

The best outcome for him is to act with Renaldo for a while and then disappear from his eyes forever.

"After all, he is a great swordsman. I am going to send him back to Liberty City. After a period of transformation, he will be sent to the legion as an instructor."

Anyway, it was not him who betrayed him, and Annan didn't do anything about it. mind.

"It's his good fortune to meet you," Renaldo said. Also his own.

Annan can tolerate even spies, so he can also accept himself.

Asking Renaldo not to go anywhere today and continue to look for spies in the official residence, Annan hurried to the royal capital.

The king has been unwell these past few days, and the chairman of the parliament has been handling government affairs.

This is a bit like the relationship between Annan and Olmedo. What's more coincidental is that they are both from the Augusta family.

Humming the song of loyalty from the Augusta family, Annan walked into the palace.

The chairman of the council was arranging something with several court mages. When he saw Annan being brought, the old voice asked:

"New news?"

"Bad news."

The chairman of the council waved his hand, and the court mages bowed and retreated with curiosity about Annan.

"It's not the bad news I thought, is it?"

"Well. I traced it back to the real murderer."

The Speaker motioned Annan to sit down: "Tell me from the beginning. "Annan started from the discovery of the unknown corpse in the cemetery: he found Sugra through the Shadow Brotherhood, and got news from Sugra about a housekeeper named Ruby.

The chairman of the parliament was also there at the time, but Sugra was very courageous and lucky enough to lie in front of the chairman without being discovered.

Ruby's identity is fake, and his true identity is Renado's captain of the bodyguard.

Annan said that he confirmed that his uncle was not involved, so he told him the truth and captured the guard chief Hunter with lightning speed. The interrogation revealed that he was placed next to Renaldo by Grand Duke Babataud eight years ago, and the order to leave Princess Seles... came from Grand Duke Babataud.

He also learned from Faru, the mascot of the King of the North given to him by Barba Tod, that Director Zloyutro, the director of the Great Library, and Sir Mir Bogard were in Barba Tod. Virtue's small circle.

“I’m wondering if Grand Duke Babataud realized something when he recruited Master Kyle a few days ago?”

“Another question is, why did Grand Duke Babataud realize something? Instead of using your own blood, betray Princess Sayles?”

"Because Baba Tod is a branch of the royal family."

After pondering for a long time, the council leader revealed this royal secret.

Baba Todd is the cousin of the old king, Crow's father. He had helped a lot in the competition for the heir, so he was able to sit on the throne as a branch of the Grand Duke.

That makes sense.

"Mr. Olmei... what do you think?" The parliament president's wise blue eyes fell on Annan.

"I wouldn't have come to you if I had any plans." He kicked the balloon back.

The Congressman let out an old chuckle: "You did better than I did when I was young."

Before Annan could ponder the meaning of this sentence, he stood up: "You Just stay here, and no one will go out except me."

Annan realized something and stood up nervously, forgetting for a moment that the tall old man in front of him was his enemy: "You want to fight with me. Are they confronting? I'm with you -"

"No, this is our old guy's business."

The white-robed congressman smiled and walked out of the lounge.

Annan noticed that he forgot to take the staff and hurriedly chased him out, but was stopped by a barrier.

Annan could feel that the barrier was useless to him, but he was reminding him not to go out.

On the surface it is under house arrest, but in fact it is under protection.

But Annan was worried about his own people who were still outside and hesitated.

"You kid, why do you want to go out even though Old Irwin has told you to stay here! Phew...it's killing me."

"Who is talking?!"

Annan Suddenly turned around.

The entire lounge is empty, except for the staff left by the chairman of the council... a staff?

The staff that seemed to be a tree root squeezed out a wrinkle, as if it had a mouth: "Yes, it is me who is talking! I am also maintaining the barrier!"
< br>

The Speaker is really reassuring, it would be even better if he was on the side of Free City...

Annan no longer wanted to go out, hoping that Renaldo could protect Maria and his men.

“Who are you?”

“You don’t even want to call me you!”

“Oh, who are you?”

"Nonsense, can't you see that I am a staff?"

It's amazing that the staff can talk, but the fact that the council leader's staff can talk just makes people think it's nothing.

Annan was a little wary at first, but after getting in touch with him, he found that he had no other problems except being chatty.

“Do you know why the Speaker said, ‘I can do better than he did when he was younger’?”
