Looking at Carey, Chen Heng gave a faint smile and said, "So, why did these people come to assassinate you?"
"I don't know."
A dark look appeared on Carey's face, "These assassins were not the higher-ups; they were just the ones who did it. They did not know what had happened or who had hired them.
"Moreover, on that day, they used all sorts of methods to commit suicide."
Speaking to there, his face became ashen, seeming to be in a terrible mood.
These people came from an assassin organization called Shadow's Touch, and they had not come to assassinate him out of boredom. Instead, they had been hired by someone.
Now that they had died, this lead had been severed, and they could not continue to search.
Dead men could not tell the truth.
If these people came from the Kutu Principality, it would not be so difficult. With the Carey family's power, as long as they wanted to, they would be able to find some clues.
However, the person who had hired them had evidently considered this.
Shadow's Touch was an assassin organization from a foreign country, and it had great power. It was famed for its secrecy, and it would not sell out its employer just because of the Carey family's power.
As such, in the end, Carey could only make guesses.
In front of Chen Heng, he guessed many possible targets before leaving with an ashen expression.
Of course, before leaving, in order to thank Chen Heng for his help, he brought many gifts, and he even gave Chen Heng extremely favorable conditions to negotiate a few business deals with him.
In response, Chen Heng did not refuse and directly accepted.
Within the Kutu Principality's inner city, within a palace.
In a magnificent hall, the interior of the hall was extremely tranquil.
This was a very spacious place, but there weren't many people around, making it seem very deserted.
A woman sat at the center of the hall, taking care of various matters.
The pale golden sunlight shone through the window sills on all sides and shone on the woman's body, making her beautiful figure and snow-white skin look extremely alluring.
She did not look too old, only around 25 or 26 years old. She was quite beautiful and wore a light short robe. She sat there thinking to herself.
At that moment, hurried footsteps sounded out from outside, accompanied by sounds of chickens and dogs jumping.
Oliman could not help but frown as she looked at the person walking over and softly said, "Verna wants to sneak out again?"
"Yes."
Not far away, a servant half-knelt on the ground, his expression extremely respectful. "This is the third time in the past half a month."
"Humph."
Olivia coldly harrumphed, "You snuck out behind my back. It's not enough for you to be assassinated once; you want to sneak out again?"
"Is she tired of living?"
Hearing Olivia's words, the female servant half-knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything.
Standing there, Olivia pinched her eyebrows and lightly sighed as she said, "Tell me, just what does she want to do by sneaking out so often?"
"Also, tell me everything that happened that day."
She pinched her eyebrows and said tiredly.
"Yes."
The female servant nodded her head, then spoke softly, narrating everything that happened that day at the banquet.
As she listened, Olivia couldn't help but frown. "Wait."
"Are you sure that Verna took the initiative to ask someone to dance that night?"
"Yes."
Below, the female servant nodded.
"Then, that person acted and saved Verna?"
Olivia continued to speak.
After receiving this confirmation, Olivia immediately understood some things.
"A boring Knight saving a Princess."
She inwardly shook her head before thinking to herself.
This had happened quite coincidentally.
Verna was her little sister and the Princess of the Kutu royal family. There were simply too many people who had reasons to act against her.
It was just that just as Verna had sneaked out, someone had come to assassinate her?
Was there a problem with Carey?
Moreover, Verna had been assassinated and she had been saved by that person; this was quite a coincidence.
Was this premeditated?
In that instant, Olivia thought of many things.
Compared to Verna, she was much older and had seen far too many things.
Being born in a royal family environment, she subconsciously doubted everything. She instinctively doubted everything.
"Who is that Kaelin?"
Following this, she asked about Chen Heng.
In response to Olivia's questions, the female servant's expression was respectful as she silently replied.
From her, Olivia gained a rough understanding of Chen Heng's past.
"Sounds quite good."
Hearing about Chen Heng's past, Olivia's expression became slightly warmer and she nodded, "He comes from a noble family in the south, and his family is not very powerful. He is also Corripo's student and has decent talent. He has hopes of becoming a Knight …"
She inwardly nodded, "If there are no problems, he is quite suitable for Verna."
As a royal princess, Verna had been born too late, and she had Olivia, her older sister.
This meant that she did not have much of a chance in the battle for the throne, and no one would support her.
Moreover, with Verna's status, if she married a large noble family, it would be easy for problems to arise.
She was a princess of the royal family, and in the current situation, it was too easy to be used as an excuse.
As such, from how Olivia saw it, the best outcome for Verna was to marry a descendant of a noble family that was not very powerful but had extraordinary abilities.
A Knight from a small noble family in the south would be quite suitable.
Of course, even though Olivia felt that this was quite suitable, she still had to consider the specifics.
"How is that Knight Kaylin in other areas?"
As she thought to herself, she knocked on the table and asked, "Are there any conflicts? For example, a fiancée or something? "
As nobles, in order to strengthen their family's power, many families would arrange marriages for their heirs when they were still young in order to gain the support of other families.
Apart from this, with how chaotic the noble circles were, there were all sorts of maids and mistresses.
Because of her mother's influence, Olivia even had a few lovers.
She did not mind the person that her little sister liked in the past, but he definitely could not have a fiancée. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to deal with.
