A strange world

Chapter 1047 Section 278. Even the Councillor Digs

Annan leaned forward slightly in his seat, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"Do you know Princess Saiers?"

It was indeed this matter...

"I have heard a little bit about it."

"Princess Saiers is the king's sister. She was imprisoned in the dungeon because she was involved in the case of the second prince..."

The Councillor talked about the royal secrets in the lounge where only he and Annan were.

Annan had heard these things from Princess Saiers herself, but this time from a different perspective.

In Princess Saiers's cognition, she was deliberately abandoned by the kingdom and tortured by the rat people. But in the Councillor's mouth, this was an accident.

Someone deliberately left Princess Saiers to the rat people, or in other words, left Princess Saiers, who has pure royal blood, to the rat people, or in other words... left the blood of the Montreal Golden Family to the rat people...

This terrible and indescribable thing - from negligence and forgetfulness to the fact that there are rat spies in the upper echelons of the kingdom - Annan knew it a long time ago, wasn't the king?

"I need you to investigate, find out the culprit who betrayed the princess, and dig out the rat spies lurking in the upper echelons. This is far more important than catching a few free blades." The Councillor looked towards the east solemnly, as if he could see through the snow and mountains and see a ruined old capital.

Annan's face was confused, not pretending.

Could it be that the Councillor was not corrupted by the rats like his brother?

But he shouldn't have noticed that Clo was different?

Or are these two waves of rats from different tribes trying to sabotage each other?

"Why me?" Annan couldn't help asking.

"I need someone who is as loyal to the royal family as I am, and that's you."

The Councillor gave a compliment that would make all the young talents in the kingdom tremble with excitement.

"And you are very good at catching rats."

Annan couldn't refute.

"How long will it take you to find clues?"

"About seven days."

In fact, Annan already had clues, but he would maximize his benefits if he didn't tell them now.

"How many days?"

The Councillor, who had originally planned to give Annan a month to investigate, retracted his gaze into the distance.

"Uh... five days?" Annan thought the chairman was dissatisfied.

The chairman looked at Annan's face deeply for a moment: "I'll wait for your good news."

Annan stood up, turned around and wanted to leave, then turned back: "Uh... Chairman, what if someone stops me?"

The chairman exuded the majesty of a superior: "I will give you an order, you can let Agarwal cooperate with your investigation"

"That's not necessary..." Although it was nice to give orders to Agarwal, Annan was worried that he would not be able to control his fists and hit that ugly face.

"Can you give me a talisman so that I can summon you to help when I need it? In fact, I have admired you for a long time..."

Annan still had a fantasy: Olmedo's uncle seemed to be uncorrupted and still remembered family affection... What if? What if he could join Liberty City?

That would be 4:4!

The chairman smiled: "Okay."

...

"That's it, now the chairman is my backer." Annan said with a boastful tone to his stunned subordinates.

"Do you think I can become the youngest senator in the kingdom?"

The men closed their mouths: "Wake up, Lord Annan. Do you really plan to have a place in the kingdom?"

That being said, Annan's promotion speed is so fast that it makes people jealous.

It's okay for the king to value him, after all, the king is young. But the head of the senator is the guardian of the kingdom. The kingdom didn't die in the hands of ratmen and demons because of the support of the head of the senator. Even he values ​​Annan... No young people in the kingdom will think "I can do it too".

Returning to his room, Annan opened the portal to Free City.

In order to improve efficiency, Olmedo kept a heavy horse in the office to ensure that Annan could see him as soon as he opened the portal.

"Why did you contact me so soon?"

"Do you know your uncle?"

"Have you asked this question once before..."

"Because I met your uncle again." Annan recounted their conversation: "But the point I want to talk about is not this matter. Go ask Gale whether the Stun clan has a conspiracy against the empire."

Olmedo asked Ingrid to ask. Not long after, she came back and said it was true.

"It's actually true..."

Annan muttered to himself and told Olmedo his guess.

"Let's notify Montreal first." Olmedo said.

I don't know if it's a good thing to involve the Empire...

If the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Rekanel is confirmed, it's fine, but I'm afraid the Empire will stop the war... There has always been a force within the Empire that prevents Free City from declaring war on the Kingdom.

Annan didn't hesitate and contacted Olin again, telling her all his findings and guesses.

"Please help me tell Princess Saiers, maybe she can think of who the murderer is."

"Okay."

Olin's style of doing things reveals the efficiency of a knight. Later, Olin returned from the palace garden around the mountain with the reply from the palace: Got it.

"Got it?"

"Got it."

It seems that he really only answered one sentence.

This is worth pondering... Does the Empire mean that they know it, or have they known it for a long time?

As for Princess Saiers, she provided several names, including a prince.

"Olin, have any strange people appeared near the manor recently?"

"They don't dare.

How blind must one be to dare to cause trouble for the ancestors?

"Got it. I'll ask Xianna and the others."

Annan contacted the Waters family of Seltovis again. They are collateral bloodlines of the Golden Family and should also be the target of the ratmen.

At this time, Xianna and her daughter stayed in the manor.

Their mother still hurriedly got up and left as soon as she saw Annan, so Annan had to ask Xianna and Ai Xue if there were any strange things or bad people nearby.

Xina said that there were indeed some wandering strangers near the manor, but they disappeared soon.

"I know."

It seems that the empire also knows about it, so Annan doesn't have to worry about it...

"Annan! When...when will you come back to see?"

When she was about to close the portal, Xianna asked expectantly with her hand.

"I'll go back after the war is over." Annan smiled.

Finally, he told Olmedo that they didn't have to worry about this matter, and Annan focused on catching ratmen.

He first compared the names Princess Cels said with the list, and actually found a overlapping name: Graton, the warden of the old capital.

Then we'll start with him, just in time to cover up our tracks.

...

"Is Young Master Olme coming towards us?"

Gratton listened to the anxious words of the butler and widened his eyes.

"Master, the people Young Master Olme arrested are all nobles who have cooperated with us. Could it be that Milburn bit us out..."

"Who else could it be? He really doesn't know how to live or die..." Although he said so, Gratton believed that he was no match for Young Master Olme: "Go find Grand Duke Barbatod and ask him to help!"
