The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

As expected, most of the guests at the dinner were male, and most of them were wearing military uniforms, which made the atmosphere of the entire banquet a bit more serious.

"This is the reason why I don't like to attend such banquets. They always remind me of the unpleasant past." Kolya said softly.

"The past is the past, why don't you forget it?" Louise responded softly: "The new life will always be more interesting and exciting than the past. Don't you feel it?"

Kolya nodded in agreement, her warm gaze mostly staying on Louise.

Louise's gaze, on the other hand, was quite hidden among the crowd, as if a hunter was looking for her prey.

However, the "prey" hadn't shown up yet, but he accidentally discovered a familiar face. After thinking about it, it was normal for him to appear at this dinner.

Osman is a school-level officer of MI9, a descendant of the nobles serving His Majesty the King, a devout believer of the Storm Lord, and the secret contact with the "Witch Cult".

He was keenly aware of the source of his sight, and soon discovered Louise's figure, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression full of surprise.

Osman said something to the people around him, then turned around and walked towards this side, saying in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to come to the banquet tonight."

Then, he turned his eyes to Kolya next to Louise, became a little confused, and said hello:

"Welcome, Mrs. Kolya."

"Thank you." Kolya bowed lightly. She was also very curious in her heart, why did Louise and Osman, a young and promising officer, seem to be very familiar to each other?

Louise smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it's a special fate."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time since the last dance."

The pun not only answered Osman's question, but also relieved Kolya's doubts, and both of them showed kind smiles.

"I wonder if I am lucky enough to treat you to a drink again?" Osman bowed and invited.

Louise first turned her head and gave Colia a comforting look, and then responded:

"why not?"

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the crowd at the banquet together and gradually escaped from Kolya's sight.

After the last farewell, Osman conducted a more in-depth investigation into Louise and learned that the death process of Major General Brett was exactly the same as the "witch" in front of him who suffered the "revenge". Attack... But why does Louise seem to have a close relationship with Major General Brett's wife?

"You and Mrs. Kolya..." He raised his glass and asked as if he was just curious.

Louise was very candid. She took a sip of red wine and replied with a smile:

"We are very good friends. We have nothing to do today, so we came here to join in the fun."

At best, you should listen to half of what the "witch" said and believe half of it... Osman was noncommittal about this and did not continue to ask further questions. Instead, he said:

"I originally planned to invite you to attend today's dinner, but I just considered that you should be completing the task assigned by 'Ms. Desperate', so I didn't cause any trouble to you. Who would have thought that we would unexpectedly meet here!"

Louise glanced at him, then turned her eyes to other locations inadvertently, and said easily:

"The cooperation was smooth and Mr. A was very cooperative."

She cooperated to the point of "recommending" me to Ouroleus, and the next step was to sacrifice me to the "True Creator"... She cursed in her heart.

Uthman thought thoughtfully and commented:

"This shows that your ability is more powerful than I imagined."

Louise laughed "haha" twice, looked away from the door, raised her wine glass, put her red lips on it, leaving a slight mark, then raised her eyebrows, looked into Osman's eyes, charming

The voice asked:

"What kind of ability?"

…………

The centerpiece of tonight's banquet is here, Duke Negan.

As one of the top representatives of the nobility in the Loen Kingdom, he was still a handsome boy when he was young, but his edges and hairline were smoothed by time.

Of course, his rich experience has also filled his belly, and his waist is obviously bloated, making the well-fitting military uniform more "fitting".

Duke Negan was followed by two men, the older of whom was a middle-aged man with no expression, brown hair and blue eyes. This was a remedy after being assassinated by Qilingos last time, and was provided by the "Church of Storms" on his own initiative.

"Wind Sweeper", acting as a guard.

The other one is Duke Negan's secretary.

He is a slender, blond young man with fine features. He looks gentle, calm and reserved. His biggest feature is that his hairline has receded beyond his age, even more than Duke Negan.

Duke Negan strode to the front, full of energy, chatting cordially with many guests.

The "Windwinder" guard following behind him never left, like a shadow.

The young secretary seemed more casual. He quickly brought everyone present into his sight, including Louise and Osman.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Louise always felt that the secretary's eyes paused on her for half a second... Of course, this may be his observation habit, and it is not surprising.

"That is Duke Negan, the brother of the Prime Minister, one of the most trusted nobles of His Majesty the King." Osman introduced with a calm face while looking at the scene in the center of the banquet, which was like stars holding the moon.

Haha, if George III really trusted Duke Negan, the "Twilight Hermits" would not assassinate him again and again... Louise simply said "hmm" and did not respond.

Suddenly, she asked: "Is the person chatting with Duke Negan right now your father, Count Wolfe?"

Osman nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Under the gaze of the two people, the blond secretary said something in Duke Negan's ear, and the two important figures in Loen both moved their gazes in the direction of Louise.

At Count Wolfe's signal, Osman leaned over, and Louise was no exception.

"Oh, my little Osman is already a lieutenant colonel and doing a great job!"

Duke Negan praised it, showing a hearty smile and looking very sincere.

"I will swear allegiance to His Majesty the King." Osman stood at attention and saluted politely.

"Well done!" Duke Negan's smile became even brighter, and he reached out and patted Osman on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Then, he looked at Louise with interest, a little surprised by her charm, and joked with a smile:

"Little Osman, don't you want to introduce me to this beautiful lady next to you?"
