The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Abetus, Viscount Snow's Mansion.

The luxurious dining room is filled with sumptuous food, and the overhead chandelier burns with grease, illuminating the whole room.

Viscount Snow sat at the head, with his sons and daughters on the left and right sides, and Rebecca next to his sister Marianne. The Viscountess was out and would return to Abetus in half a month.

This is a family dinner, so there are not as many complicated rituals and etiquette as in a formal banquet.

"Rebecca, do you have any plans for the future?" Viscount Snow cut the steak into small pieces and savored it carefully.

"I'm running my own law firm."

oh?

Viscount Snow couldn't help but look at Rebecca more. Although Abertus is open-minded, Rebecca needs corresponding connections if she wants to start a law firm as a woman.

Rebecca saw her father's doubts, but she didn't explain too much. All she could think about now was the news she heard from Mrs. Gallard in the afternoon.

Duke Dressel, Princess Charlotte, she would never have thought that the friends she had met by chance in the small town of Liam would quietly meet two important figures in the kingdom.

And what they said about Lieutenant General Barbro's betrayal, out of concern, she asked about the relationship between her father and Lieutenant General Barbro.

She still remembered the answer of the demon hunter named Conan, "The specifics need to be investigated, but it should be just a normal involvement."

This answer made Rebecca feel a little relieved. She hated this family and her father's attitude. The past made her feel chilled.

But after all, this is just a family conflict and does not rise to the level of hatred.

In addition, if her father was really closely related to Lieutenant General Pablo's betrayal, she didn't know what to do to be honest. After all, betraying the kingdom was a felony enough to be hanged.

Fortunately, Conan's answer made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Rebecca, Rebecca!"

There was a calling sound in her ear, and when she looked up, she saw Marianne with a displeased face.

"I'm talking to you, don't you hear me?"

"What about your etiquette, don't forget that you are a girl from the Snow family."

"What's wrong?" Rebecca asked.

"I know you have no friends. There will be a dance tomorrow night. Come with me. I can introduce some friends to you." Mariana had a smile on her face. He hesitated and refused.

Years ago she took her sister at her word and went to a so-called prom, only to be ridiculed.

"No, I have friends of my own."

"Your friend?" Mariana giggled. "Spread false news and maliciously slander Lieutenant General Pablo's friends?"

Slap.

Viscount Snow put down his knife and fork.

"Rebecca, stay away from such people. They may approach you on purpose because of your identity. In addition, I don't want to hear any bad things about Lieutenant General Pablo."

Ah.

Rebecca laughed, she knew that no matter what she said at this time, they would not believe it.

"Father, I have received a reply." Rebecca's brother Rafiq took out an envelope, "The lieutenant general has agreed to our request and is willing to cooperate with us. This letter should have been delivered three days ago Yes, I don't know why I was delayed halfway."

"That's great." Viscount Snow also smiled, "It's not too late."

"Yes, father, I have already sent someone to make arrangements. The goods have already departed from the port in the north of Abetus. We will advance along the coastline from the west, and finally pass the port in charge of Lieutenant General Pablo, and then head south all the way. Arrive at Konos."

"Come on, let's celebrate." Viscount Snow raised his glass.

"Father, send someone to let the cargo ship return. What I said this afternoon is true. After leaving here, I saw Princess Charlotte. Lieutenant General Pablo has betrayed the kingdom. The cargo you transported It won't work out."

"You said that Barbro will betray the kingdom? This is too ridiculous. What is his reason?" Rafik asked.

"I don't know, the matter is still under investigation." Rebecca shook her head.

"Princess Charlotte, how do you know her?"

"She knew a friend of mine. I passed on the news. She was the one who found me on her own initiative. Before the ship went far, there was still time to return in time." Rebecca added.

"Believe me, wait a little longer, in just one or two days, there should be definite news."

Boom!

At this moment, the manor housekeeper broke into the room in a panic.

"Sir, it's a demon hunter from the Bureau of Investigation!"

"I'm sorry to disturb your dinner." A voice came from the direction of the door, and Conan walked in with several demon hunters in windbreakers and three-cornered hats.

"I am the Viscount of the Kingdom, from the House of Lords..."

Conan didn't speak, and took out a badge blankly, "On behalf of Duke Dressel, we are investigating a vicious incident related to the kingdom's security. I hope everyone can go back with me to accept the investigation!"

"Duke Dressel?!" Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

As one of the twin pillars of the empire, there are only a handful of things that can make him come forward.

"Okay." Wiping the corners of his mouth dry, Viscount Snow stood up, "Can you tell me what it is?"

"Sorry, no comment." Conan replied formulaically, and then waved his hand. Several demon hunters walked out, and one of them noticed the envelope and badge marks on Rafik's desk.

He opened the envelope, glanced at it quickly and handed it to Conan.

His face changed slightly, and Conan's expression became serious, "Take them all away!"

Several demon hunters were on the verge of a formidable enemy, and the three Viscounts also discovered something unusual. All of this seemed to be related to the letter, which came from Lieutenant General Barbro.

Suddenly, a ridiculous idea jumped out of my mind.

Could it be... everything Rebecca said is true?

The next thing they saw was the seriousness on Conan's face melting, and he walked over to Rebecca with a smile on his face.

"Sorry to interrupt your dinner."

"I understand." Rebecca nodded.

"Come with me." Conan continued, "Princess Charlotte is waiting for you in the carriage. She wants to invite you to have dinner with Ashley. Ashley told us that there is new news from Henrik. come."

Princess Charlotte!

This was the only name left in Margaret's ears. At this moment, all the information was connected together, and Viscount Snow finally understood something, "Lieutenant General Barbro really betrayed the kingdom?"

"Yes." Conan nodded.

"That letter, us and him..." The Viscount looked nervous.

"If it's just a normal exchange, we'll find out."

Everyone left the manor together, but Margaret still didn't want to believe how the submissive younger sister managed to become such a big shot as the princess.

Standing at the door, she saw the princess get off the carriage and greeted Rebecca enthusiastically. Then Rebecca seemed to say something to her, and Princess Charlotte looked this way and then nodded.

At this moment, all her previous suspicions and contempt became a joke. The younger sister she ridiculed became the guest of the princess of the kingdom, and they will be brought into the investigation bureau for lengthy interrogation.

If something is really found out, will they be reduced to prisoners?
