Whispering Verse

No. 2 Bronte

The closer the target perceived by Acorn is to Shade, the clearer Shade can know the other party's position. Therefore, the cat kept asking the owl to adjust its direction in the sky. Finally, the owl landed on a very low-key four-story building not far from the Accordion Hotel.

The witch knew this place:

"The Philharmonic Club, the most high-end club in the local area. It adopts a membership system. Only musicians who can enter the Golden Music Hall and the great nobles of Willendal are eligible to enter."

Shade knew that she must have been here without asking:

"Wait a minute, I will sense it again. Yes, the destination is here, in the big room on the left of the fourth floor."

The cat jumped lightly on the roof and came to the position above the room. The owl also landed on the messy metal steam pipes on the roof. Because it just rained yesterday, there were still large patches of water on the roof, which made the place look even dirtier:

"It's a very clever composition to have a beautiful cat like you standing in such a dirty place, but don't you feel sorry for your fur?"

She looked down at it.

"I'm not a real cat, how can I consider such a problem?"

"Are you sure it's in this position? This room is reserved for members of the Anjou royal family. There are not even ten people in the whole Carsenrick who are qualified to use this room."

Miss Owl said with a little surprise, but because she didn't know what was going on inside, it was not convenient for Shade to directly use "Raglai's Leap" to enter. But the witch didn't worry about this problem, because she was really just an owl.

So she flew down openly, circled around the window and flew back, still standing on the steam pipe in front of the silver cat:

"There are four people inside, I don't know which one is your target. Two are maids in the club, these two are definitely not, they have been in the club all the time and are not from outside.

The remaining two, one is the young lieutenant who appeared beside Linda Bennett, the third daughter of the Bennet family, when we went to the concert on Sunday. "

"York Bronte?"

This is also the name provided by Eric Foran. The Bronte family, like the Bennet family, are indigenous nobles in Creekwood Town. Today, Baron Bronte is a staff officer in the First Army Corps, and York Bronte is the second son in the family.

"The other person I know is a little surprising."

Miss Owl flapped her wings:

"William Anjou, I didn't expect him to be here."

The silver cat was also surprised:

"The second prince of the Anjou royal family?"

The witch was not surprised at all that Shade knew who this was, after all, there were not as many heirs in the royal family of the South Kingdom as in the North Kingdom:

"He handled the Randall Valley Stonemason Association earlier this year, and was suppressed by Princess Margaret Anjou. I heard that he has been trying to repair his position in front of the king for the past six months. ’s image before, and wanted to do something big.

But he didn’t have the skills and connections of his elder brother, and his strategy couldn’t beat his sister Margaret. He didn’t even get the errand to visit the Moon Bay area in the summer. How could he appear in Vista City? ”

Margaret has five brothers and sisters. In addition to the three mentioned by Miss Winslet, the eldest princess has long been married and no longer intervenes in politics. The youngest prince is still a minor and has no power. Therefore, the eldest prince Samuel Anjou, the second prince William Anjou and Margaret are the actual next generation of throne competitors.

Shad met William Anjou during his time in the Randall River Valley, but the deepest impression of him was that he was assassinated by an old stonemason from the Stonemason Association at a banquet.

At least at the beginning of this year, William Anjou was not a ring mage. As for Lieutenant York Bronte, the distance was too far and there were too many people in the concert hall last time, so Shade was not sure whether he was a ring mage:

"Since it involves time travelers, we should put safety first. When they leave, I will confirm with my own eyes which one used the tree hole. What are they doing in it? They can't be drinking afternoon tea, right?"

"Talking. When I flew over, the two maids were about to leave the room. It should be a very private conversation."

So the silver cat also jumped onto the pipe where the owl was standing and squatted beside it. The owl carefully moved closer to the cat, almost touching it with its wings.

"Is there a way to hear the conversation between York Bronte and the prince? The sound insulation of this room is too good."

"There is a way."

As the owl said this, it launched its own magic, and then spread its left wing and embraced the cat on the side of its body, so Shade also heard the sound coming from downstairs.

The sound of the maids closing the door completely turned the room downstairs into a "secret room", and then William Anjou and York Bronte began to talk. This was the first time Shad heard the latter speak. Although he was from Creekwood, his accent was very authentic Willendel.

The cat and the owl listened carefully. The two exchanged a few pleasantries first, and it sounded that they were very familiar with each other before.

Then the prince brought up the business:

"My trip to Vista City is not a secret. I received a secret order from my father. Now people who know my whereabouts think that I came here secretly to relax and have fun. In fact, I brought the elite agents of Gray Gloves."

The young lieutenant exclaimed:

"Your Highness, are you here to investigate spies?"

"I can't tell you the specific purpose, but York, you are my friend, and a very capable friend. I need some help from you. My purpose this time is the Duskwood Post and the Aronson River camp”. Although there are many good players in the Gray Gloves, I still have to rely on local officers like you. "

"Of course, Your Highness, I am willing to serve you."

William Anjou was very cautious, and then asked York Bronte about the private affairs of some local nobles and the general situation of the two military camps in the forest, but he did not tell what secret order he had received.

Of course, York Bronte, who came from a noble family, also introduced the local "fun" places to His Royal Highness during the conversation. When the two talked about the private life of the young second lieutenant, William Anjou said jokingly:

"I don't understand why your father insists on marrying you to a local girl in Vista City. I have no regional discrimination, but compared to the girls in Willondale, the girls in Vista City are really just Country girl.

Girls in big cities are a little different from girls in the country, you know what I mean. "

"Of course, Your Highness. But although country girls don't have the etiquette models of the girls in the royal capital, at least some of them are pretty good-looking."

William Anjou asked curiously:

"Why, your father specially arranged for you to be sent to the military camp in Vista City. It seems that his expectations have been realized?"

"She is the daughter of the Bennet family. I think she looks very beautiful. Although the girl is a bit rude and lacks education, she is at least very simple and can be considered a good marriage partner."

"Does she know what you were doing in Willendale?"

"Oh, Your Highness, we don't have to tell the women everything, do we?"

The cat, which was covered by half of the owl's wings, felt that the owl turned its head to look at it, so the cat, which was capable of misunderstanding, explained:

"I heard that York Brontë was generous with his money, hanging out in the Lord's Casino, and that he also had some problems in his private life. He should be the kind of dissolute aristocratic kid in people's traditional impression. It seems that Mrs. Bennet gave her three The marriage partner my daughter is looking for is not very good."

The two people downstairs talked for a while longer. Because His Highness the Prince had something to do in the afternoon, they made an appointment to attend an acquaintance's wedding together tomorrow evening, and then left separately.

The two did not go downstairs together, but William Anjou left in a carriage from the back door first, and then York Bronte walked out from the main entrance of the club in a generous manner.

The silver cat looked down from the roof of the building, and visually found that the target was very simple:

"It's not William Anjou. The target Acorn senses is York Bronte."

The owl standing behind the cat's tail then asked:

"Want to follow?"

"Of course. Huh? This person is actually a ring wizard? No, don't worry, it's just a low level. Things seem to be getting more and more interesting."

The owl grabbed the cat and took off from above the club, while York Bronte on the ground rode a carriage towards the north of the city.

Seeing that he was alone in the city, Shade originally thought that he would carry out some secret activities. Unexpectedly, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of a remote alley in the old city in the north of the city, and then entered an ordinary building in a low-key manner. Building.

So the owl went to the window and circled around again:

"Illegal Rhodes casino, I don't know the details, but it should be run by local gangs."

The two of them waited outside the casino until four o'clock in the afternoon before the young officer with an unlucky look walked out of the place cursing. But at least he still had the money to continue taking the carriage, and then took the carriage to the northwest of the city and arrived at the entrance of the Ximu Town Conservatory of Music.

This is the city's original school and currently the best conservatoire in the South of the Old World. After getting off the carriage, he first went to buy a bouquet of flowers, and soon he saw the third daughter of the Bennet family.

The beautiful Miss Linda Bennet walked out of the castle with her friends. When they saw the young officer holding flowers and looking towards them, they all laughed. Then Linda Bennet walked over sheepishly and took the flowers from York Bronte.

"The young girl seems to be moved."

Above the covered bridge high in the castle, the owl said to the cat, and Shade was also watching this scene:

"Perhaps we should give the girl a heads up, after this matter is settled, of course."
