The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Chapter 144 Major General Bright's wife

The experience just now can be summed up in one sentence, that is "Miss Justice will introduce you to the heirs to the title of Backlund".

If she stayed any longer, Louise felt that all the young men attending the banquet would find Audrey, and take her with them... By then, her face would probably freeze with laughter, so she slipped away as soon as possible.

Prince Edsac will soon be in tragedy, and Duke Negan will also be killed by the "Apostle of Desire"... Well, with Louise's current hostile relationship with Jason Belial, maybe the result will be

What does it look like!

By the way, why didn't I see Major General Bright at tonight's banquet... Since arriving in Backlund, Louise also conducted some investigations on the sidelines, but found that Bright seemed to have completely disappeared without any information.

.

Of course there is a reason for this that she has not yet completely opened up the situation in Backlund's upper class society, but with Bright's character, she shouldn't be so unknown!

After leaving Miss Justice, no one took the initiative to stick with her again, and Louise gained a brief moment of peace. She wandered among the people at the banquet without a clear goal.

Until she saw Viscountess Connor, who was chatting and laughing with a lady.

The woman was wearing a strapless hollow dress, with delicate collarbones, fair skin, and long black hair that lay smoothly down. She had a body like a willow and eyes like morning stars. She was delicate and frail, making people feel pity for her.

Louise took steps towards that direction.

Viscountess Connor discovered Louise's movements, said goodbye to the lady politely, and then came over to greet her.

"I was looking for you just now!" the Viscountess said with a smile on her face.

Louise bowed lightly and explained softly:

"I went to thank Miss Audrey who invited me to the banquet, but she was too popular and was chatting with Prince Edsac, so I wisely said goodbye and left."

Prince Edsac... The Viscountess glanced at the beautiful and generous Louise from the Southern Continent in front of her, and was even more surprised. She had established a good relationship with Miss Audrey in such a short time after arriving in Backlund.

I even got to know a prince, which is really good luck...

There are rumors that His Majesty the King hopes that Prince Edsac and Miss Audrey will marry, but this topic is obviously not suitable to talk to Louise on this occasion... So, the Viscountess simply said the question that had been bothering her for two days.

:

"I'm curious, how did you become friends with Miss Audrey?"

Louise smiled when she heard this, and the reason came out:

"Miss Audrey has a strong curiosity and is more interested in mysterious and weird stories. I have lived in the Southern Continent for a long time and have heard more of such stories."

The Viscountess showed an expression of "I see", which was almost the answer she guessed.

Louise was worried that the other party would talk about Viscount Graylingt again, which was not impossible... So she randomly found a topic and asked:

"Who was the lady you were chatting with just now?"

"She is Baron Bright's wife, Lady Kolya." the Viscountess replied.

Brett...Baron...it's really hard to find a place without any hard work. It takes no effort at all!

Louise pretended to be curious and asked: "Baron Bright?"

The Viscountess was a little vague, so she simply answered:

"Baron Bright is a major general who once served in the Southern Continent. He just returned to Backlund some time ago and was assigned other duties. He has not been seen for a long time, so Mrs. Kolya came to tonight's banquet alone."

Sure enough, it's him! No wonder she hasn't heard about Major General Bright. It turns out there are such reasons... He won't be assigned to do work related to human trafficking again... Louise's thoughts have already flown to

After Yun Wai left, he briefly exchanged a few perfunctory words with the Viscountess, making the other party smile, and then they parted ways.

At a quick glance, Mrs. Kolya was standing alone in the corner of the banquet hall, shaking the red wine glass in her hand. The blue-green striped skirt on her body did not look tacky at all, but gave her a more independent temperament.

Louise walked forward with a smile and said, "Hello, Mrs. Kolya."

"Beautiful lady, I don't think I have seen you before." Kolya said, her voice was colder, but her tone was very kind.

"This is indeed our first meeting." Louise's attitude was very frank, and she explained: "I have been living in the Southern Continent before, and I admire Major General Bright's achievements very much. I have always wanted to meet him.

I always miss it, this time I came to Backlund..."

As she talked, Louise noticed that Mrs. Kolya's face was becoming colder and colder, and she seemed a little...angry, which made her a little confused.

Kolya was not in a good mood. It should be said that since she married Major General Bright and learned about his character and behavior, she gradually became silent...

She stared at Louise in front of her. She was young, beautiful, and full of energy. Now she had even chased Backlund. Kolya even had the urge to cry...

She coldly interrupted the other party's remarks and asked directly: "What do you want to do, just say it."

Louise noticed that the other party's mood was not quite right, but she didn't know why, so she could only answer cautiously:

"It's nothing serious. I just heard about my friends who lived in the Southern Continent. I felt a little emotional for a while and wanted to talk to them."

Kolya was not moved at all, she still kept a straight face and said calmly:

"That may disappoint you. Brett hasn't been home for a long time, and I don't know where he is."

"If there's nothing else, please excuse me. I have something else to do and I have to take a step first."

"As you please."

Louise naturally had no reason to stop her, but she just felt a little baffled as to why she had offended the other party...

Seeing Mrs. Kolya's attitude, she actually left the banquet directly...

How strange... Louise thought, it seems that she needs to know more about Brett, but the breakthrough has been found, and the road ahead will be much easier.

…………

"You won't keep eating after you left me, right?"

Audrey got rid of the person who was about to strike up a conversation, found Louise again, and found that the other party was still eating, so she asked this question.

Louise raised her glass and took a sip of black tea, swallowed the last piece of shrimp meat in her mouth, and finally said:

"Of course not, I just don't want to live up to these delicious food."

Audrey was just joking. She pursed her lips and smiled and said:

"Come with me, Susie has always wanted to see you!"
