The Aquilai family of the Duke of Aquilay's Mansion
is the most secret family in the Loongson Kingdom.
Compared with the Hilton family, which has been famous for many years, the Aguilet family can be said to have always been extremely low-key, or they were not qualified to be high-profile at all.
The family has had two counts in the history of the kingdom, but it has never made any waves worth mentioning.
Until Kayla Aguilai came along.
This woman almost appeared out of thin air, with an unparalleled swordsmanship, and in just a few years, she became one of the four major dukes of the kingdom.
And her past remains a mystery.
"Lord Viscount, please wait a moment and let me go in and make a briefing. Outside
the door of the rich and luxurious bungalow, the waiter in a strong suit bowed respectfully to Eli, who had come here, and then hurried towards the bungalow.
Eli stood in the doorway, silently looking around his surroundings.
Unlike the Duke of Wins's Court, the environment here seems to be gentle and cozy.
Whether it's the neatly trimmed flower clusters or the obviously finely polished stone carvings, they tell the visitors that the owner is a man of a very good life.
It's just that this life mood gives people a feeling of being too deliberate.
It's like it's made for others to see.
"How's that, Isabel.
Eli looked up at the sun overhead, it was time for dinner, but there was no sign of fire in the whole manor, and there was no smell of food.
"It's just ants, young master, if you need it, I can kill all the people here at any time.
Isabel replied in a low voice.
Before coming to the Duke's Palace, Eli had reminded Isabel to keep an eye out for the magical aura in the Duke's Palace.
And Isabel did not disappoint Eli, although her perception ability is not as good as Chizuru's, but the unique field control ability of the Zerg makes her talent in this area far beyond ordinary people.
"I hope it doesn't turn out like that.
Eli smiled and shook her head.
"Mr. Eli.
While the two were talking, a gentle female voice came from the depths of the bungalow.
Eli looked up and saw a slender figure with long blond hair walking slowly in their direction.
The person who came was none other than the owner of the estate, Kayla Aquilay.
Today's Duke Kayla was not dressed in silver armor as usual, but in a black dress that looked somewhat complicated.
She wore flaxen-colored sheepskin boots on her feet and openwork lace sleeves on her arms, apparently deliberately dressed.
"I took the liberty of interrupting.
Eli nodded at the other man, and greeted Kayla in return.
At Kayla's invitation, the trio made their way to the library at the end of the hallway.
Along the way, Eli saw rows of busts on the walls on both sides, and judging from the age of the frames, these portraits were of various ages, presumably the memories left by the previous heads of the Aquilai family to posterity.
It's just that at this moment, these portraits, which should have been carefully worshipped, are covered with hideous knife marks.
Although it had been repaired by the painter, the different shades of paint in it allowed Eli to discover the clue.
"These are the Aquilai heads of the past.
Seeing that Eli seemed interested in the portraits, Kayla smiled and explained to him.
"All of them are handsome.
Eli nodded slightly, and as he said this, his eyes fell on Kayla's face throughout.
To his surprise, Kayla didn't have any mood swings, just listened to his words casually as if they were a scene.
Once in the library, Kayla clapped her palms.
It didn't take long for the waiter outside the door to bring them two exquisitely made nanmu chairs, a pot of freshly brewed tea leaves, and two plates of exquisite Western-style refreshments.
"Please forgive me for the inadequate hospitality.
Kayla spread her palms and motioned for Eli and the two to be casual, not too formal.
However, Isabel remained silently behind Eli, not responding to Kayla's words.
"Mr. Eli's female companion is quite special.
Kayla said with a smile as she looked at Isabelle.
"I'm not a female companion, I'm just Eli-sama's entourage.
Isabel shook her head slightly.
"Hmm—"
Kayla held her head and stared at Isabelle's face for a long time.
There are some families in the royal capital that specialize in cultivating waiters and maids, and most of them are small families with weak power, so they choose to send their female dependents to other nobles, hoping that one day they will be able to climb the dragon and the phoenix.
But Isabel showed a different quality from those people, saying that he was a follower, but his temperament that was neither humble nor arrogant could be said to be very aristocratic.
If she hadn't explained it earlier, Kayla would have almost taken her for the daughter of some big family.
"Your Excellency, who are you from now?" Eli
picked up the teacup that was resting beside him, and after blowing the white mist that rose up, he also asked his doubts straight to the point.
"The whole royal capital knows that I am friendly with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, Mr. Eli, you have this question... Isn't it unnecessary to ask?" Kayla
raised an eyebrow, apparently she didn't expect Eli to ask things so bluntly.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince..."
Eli turned the porcelain cup in his hand, then shook his head with a smile and continued:
"Since you are from His Royal Highness the Great Prince, why did you deliberately come forward to pull him back from the Ghost Gate after arranging for someone to assassinate Duke Wens?"
I don't understand what you're saying.
Kayla's expression grew darker, and her hand unconsciously grabbed the armrest beside her.
"Duke Wens seems to be a neutral faction in the battle for the throne of Loongson, but in fact he is extremely loyal to the Three Kings Female faction, that is, the late Lord Iloti.
"According to the royal family's instructions, you cooperated with the puppeteer of the Stone Trace Empire to seal the magic of Duke Wens's Mansion with an enchantment, and then disguised yourself as a waiter and stabbed him. "
After I went to the Duke's Palace, you came to the rescue of Wens with a royal order.
Eli didn't seem to see Kayla's dark gaze, but said to herself.
"According to what you say, if the people of the royal family want me to kill Vince, why did they ask me to save him afterwards?"
Kayla struggled to suppress the shock in her heart, she didn't expect that the young man in front of her had already deduced things to such a point.
Not many people in the entire kingdom know about her identity as an enchantment.
Even Vins, who was also a knight captain with her, was unaware of her profession.
"I think it should be because Her Royal Highness, the most threatening princess, has been banned by you using the gods, and the kingdom needs Vins, the head of the Holy Wood Knight, to deal with the demons in the north, so I didn't kill him completely.
Eli crossed his legs and added as he smiled and looked at Kayla in front of him.
Kayla clutched at the handrail on the side, a shifting look passing through her eyes.
It is clear that Eli was not wrong in what he had deduced.
However, Eli's next words really made her murderous.
"However, Her Royal Highness the Third Princesses are still alive, so you should still be considered to be the one of Her Royal Highnesses now, right?"
"Wow
!" "Bell!"
Eli's
words had just fallen, and a silvery cold light instantly came out of its sheath.
The sword he drew stabbed like a delicate silver snake across the space, and the blade pointed at Eli's pupils.
However, Isabel struck at almost the same time, and she grabbed Kayla's sword with just two fingers.
Then, Isabelle's body revealed an incomparably cold and terrifying magic.
The cold magic made Kayla feel as cold as falling into a cold pool just by looking at her, and she couldn't have any thoughts of resisting.
"Move again, I'll let you die here.
Isabel looked into Kayla's eyes quietly, her tone was calm, but the killing intent mixed in it made people feel cold.
"Let's talk about it again, it's not the point of tension yet, Lord Kayla.
Eli cocked her index finger and smiled meaningfully at the woman in front of her.
