The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Just be a guest, why should we emphasize "private villa"?

Louise wanted to get some clues from the expression of the blond secretary in front of her, but the latter showed no expression at all, which was elusive.

So, she had no choice but to show doubts and asked:

"Does Mr. Duke intend to invite only me?"

The blond secretary nodded calmly: "Yes."

"What's the purpose of inviting me?" Louise asked again.

Mr. Secretary replied dutifully: "Maybe just a simple chat or a dinner. As far as I know, Mr. Duke admires Miss Louise very much."

Guess whether I believe it or not... Louise suddenly realized that chatting and eating was fake, but "private" was real!

Duke Negan has more than one mistress, who is placed in different private villas... Louise knows this very well. She even knows the specific locations of these villas, and this information comes from the information in front of her.

A dedicated secretary.

It turns out that Duke Negan had that idea! Damn, considering his age, he can be my grandfather... Louise couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but she was quite kind and complimented:

"It is an honor for me to be appreciated by Mr. Duke."

As a "witch", Louise has never been in the habit of seducing people with her appearance. Unexpectedly, it will come true from here. Is this the fate of a "witch"... It is worth thinking about that although Duke Negan is not stoic.

Although he has just met me twice, he would not take the initiative to request a tryst!

Love at first sight? That’s ridiculous!

Louise felt that this matter was a bit strange, not because of Duke Negan's attitude, but because of the "point in time", as if everything had gathered at this point in time and exploded, making it dizzying.

And, even most of the chaos works to Louise's advantage!

When she first accepted the assassination mission, she was not in a hurry to implement the action. After all, without her, Duke Negan would not be assassinated until near the end of the year, so Louise believed that she had enough time to formulate a plan.

However, judging from the current situation, she is being pushed to the forefront step by step. Everything that is happening is telling her one thing:

"The best time to assassinate has arrived."

She had no intention of resisting this trend, so she chose to verbally accept Duke Negan’s tryst invitation and asked:

"So, when is your visit?"

The blond secretary didn't seem surprised by Louise's acceptance. He only glanced at her quietly and replied calmly:

"I will pick you up personally at the specific time."

Louise softly said "Oh" and asked with some confusion:

"Didn't Duke Negan arrange the time?"

The blond secretary explained calmly: "Mr. Duke is busy with official duties recently. He might have free time one day to have dinner with Miss Louise."

Louise picked up the tea cup and said with a smile without taking the drink:

"Then I will look forward to your second visit."

"Goodbye." The blond secretary stood up and left without any delay.

…………

"Miss, Duke Negan's invitation is definitely not a simple chat." The maid said firmly.

Louise turned to look at her and asked:

"Then why do you think Duke Negan invited me?"

"This..." Sofia hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Anyway, I have bad intentions."

Louise smiled, took the maid's little hand, slid her fingers casually and said:

"Your young lady, I don't have the habit of chatting with old men alone, even if he is a duke."

"Are you coming to accompany me tonight, or are you going to go with Katrin?"

Sophia said nothing, but lowered her head with a blushing face.

…………

Louise did not get carried away by the "acting". She calmed down the maid lady and left No. 59 Egram Street, arriving alone at Miss Sharon's secret base in Backlund.

Sure enough, Miss Sharon was alone at home, and Maric was probably still playing cards in the bar!

However, this welcome ceremony floating out of the wall was a bit special. Louise looked around with interest before commenting:

"This place is too shabby."

Miss Sharon was noncommittal and replied calmly:

"Ready to be discarded at any time."

Well, you and Maric still have experience in evading pursuit... Louise moved her eyes away from the dusty simple sofa, looked at Miss Sharon, whose face was so fair and transparent, and said straight to the point:

"I decided to join your hunt."

Sharon bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your help."

"Hey, don't be too quick to thank me." Louise waved her hand and raised her eyebrows: "The reward you mentioned before must be honored!"

Miss Sharon lowered her head silently: "That's natural."

Louise smiled with satisfaction. She liked Sharon's current state very much. She was no longer a cold "revenant spirit" but more like a real person. She continued to ask:

"Has the time been set for the operation?"

"Not yet." Sharon shook her head, raised her eyes and explained: "Jax is also a demigod after all. I need enough temptation to lead him into the predetermined battlefield."

The time is uncertain... Louise suddenly felt uneasy. Miss Sharon's hunting operation and her plan to assassinate Duke Negan would not conflict in time, right?

After a pause, she asked seriously:

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Sharon rejected Louise's kindness and replied:

"You can't be exposed to Jacks' sight in advance, otherwise you won't be able to act as a bait."

Louise nodded slightly to express her understanding. She was just concerned but confused. She pondered silently for two seconds, then smiled again and said casually:

"The other demigod helper you found turned out to be Bernadette, which surprised me."

Unexpectedly, Miss Sharon frowned:

"Bernadette? Is this the name of the female demigod?"

"You don't know?" Louise asked in surprise.

Sharon said seriously: "All I know is that she was the demigod organizer of that extraordinary party we attended."

This time it was Louise's turn to frown. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask:

"Then how did you get to know her? Even invited her to help?"

Sharon slowly floated over a distance and answered seriously:

"I went to a party alone, and the female demigod appeared in my room and asked about you, but I didn't answer... This was how we first got acquainted."

"The second time, she offered to help me complete my hunting operation. She asked me to help her complete something after I became a demigod... In addition, she also said something that made me very strange."

"She said: 'My destiny is in the Southern Continent'."
