The gentle afternoon sunlight immediately poured in through the window and landed on her face. Her porcelain skin was almost transparent, and the tiny blood vessels underneath were almost invisible.
The prime minister's daughter's expression was cold. When her gaze landed on the courtyard, she saw that there were some men and women in black robes in the courtyard through the shade of the trees.
These people had dazzling black hair that was fixed behind their heads with hairpins or bands. Their special attire with wide robes and long sleeves seemed to prove their identity.
These people either came from Nine Phoenix, or at least their bloodline came from Nine Phoenix. But Delfien knew more. In Nine Phoenix, only the royal family could wear phoenix ornaments. But these people were wearing black fire phoenixes and blood red embroidery, so they could only have one origin.
The Ghost Chariot Clan.
Cruz had a long history of business dealings with Nine Phoenix. As a descendant of the Nidwen family, she knew better than Brando the status of these people in Nine Phoenix.
The situation of this organization was not as bad as people thought. Yufeng and the Ghost Chariot were of the same bloodline. The Ghost Chariot Clan was able to thrive in Swift Plains because of the former's permission. In her opinion, the royal family of Nine Phoenix was too lenient, and the commoners still maintained a basic level of respect for the Ghost Chariot Clan.
This was something unimaginable in Wohnde.
The relationship between the Nine Swords was too complicated, but she knew that the Ghost Chariot had already deviated from their path.
She silently watched the Ghost Chariot Clan's people talking to the Lord of Rosaleen. Seeing this old and ugly guy, and thinking of his naked and undisguised expression when he looked at her, Delfien could not help but feel annoyed. In fact, she felt nauseous.
When she was in the Empire, she did not need to pretend to be polite to such a small figure. But the situation was better than the person. Moreover, when she thought of the thing that she had accidentally learned, her frown calmed down.
The noise in the courtyard was not because of the dispute between the two parties. The noise came from a place further away. She saw a battered and exhausted fellow rushing in.
That should be a Knight from Rosaleen.
"Looks like something has happened outside." Delfien thought to herself as she closed the window. She was worried that she would be noticed by the people from Ghost Car, especially the man called Fang Qi. The man's eyes made her feel like she had been seen through.
Even in front of that person, she had never felt this way.
She had always believed in her intuition as a woman. Sometimes, avoiding danger was more important than finding out the truth. Skipping over self-confidence might not be a good thing.
"I don't know. It has nothing to do with him."
Delfien silently sat back in her chair. She closed the diary and locked it. Her face was cloudy and uncertain. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she vaguely heard more noises coming from outside, as if the whole castle had come alive. The Nidevan family also had their own territory and castle. The Prime Minister's daughter was very familiar with that voice: the old man was mobilizing his Knight.
It seemed that something big had indeed happened outside.
She frowned a little uneasily.
There were people running around outside the corridor. Delfien waited silently for a moment. Suddenly, she opened the door and grabbed the maid who was running in a panic.
However, the maid was too strong. She opened the door too suddenly and almost fell to the ground.
The maid screamed in fright. Now, everyone in the castle knew that this somewhat weak and easy to get along with lady would probably become their future mistress. She hurriedly and carefully helped Delfien up, as if she was afraid that the other party would vent her anger on her.
"Miss Delfien, I …"
Delfien's face was pale. She smiled weakly at her and said, "It's nothing. It's my fault, Miss Madeleine."
"Martha above." Seeing her like this, the maid felt even more guilty. "My impulsive temper really deserves to be cursed. I'm really sorry, Miss Delfien."
"Did something happen outside?" Delfien hurriedly asked.
The maid was stunned for a moment before she remembered something. "Ah, of course, something big has happened. Someone is causing trouble in the castle and injured many of the Lord's Knights."
She exclaimed and said with a little fear. "I hope it's not a monster that entered the castle. But the Lord has already sent Mr. Boban out with the Knight Guards. There shouldn't be any problem."
"Nothing will happen, Madeleine. Mr. Boban will take care of it." Delfien comforted her.
The maid hurriedly nodded.
"By the way, where is the Lord?"
"The Lord is preparing the horse."
"Prepare the horse? Is the Lord going out as well?"
"Of course. He's worried that it's another monster causing trouble. He's worried, so he wants to follow. By the way, the Lord wants you to rest in peace, Miss Delfien. "
Delfien silently nodded.
After bidding farewell to the impatient maid, she closed the door again and pressed her back against the door. Her vest was completely soaked. She let out a long breath and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.
She returned to the desk and waited for about a quarter of an hour before the noise outside finally quieted down. Delfien glanced at her diary and then silently pulled a string on the desk. The bell connected to the string immediately jingled.
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. A somewhat childish voice asked from outside the door. "Miss Delfien, are you calling for me?"
Delfien gently took a breath. "Come in, Sebas."
The door was pushed open with a 'kacha' sound, and a dark-skinned young man wearing a gray robe and jacket walked in. He carefully looked around the room, and then his eyes fell on Delfien's back. His eyes were suddenly filled with admiration and respect.
"Miss Delfien, is something wrong?" The young man asked in a low voice.
"Is His Lordship here?"
"His Lordship has gone out, Miss Delfien."
The look on Delphine's face relaxed a little. "I need you to do me a favour, Sebas."
The young man was slightly taken aback. Then, a solemn expression appeared on his face. "Miss Delfien, if you have any instructions, please let me know."
She picked up the diary on the desk and asked, "That friend of yours, is he really reliable?"
"That Uncle Xin may be making a living in the underworld, but he is actually a good person." The young man keenly asked. "Miss Delfien, do you have something you need to do in Rosaleen City?" "About that.
Ask your friend to help me find a person. His name is Brando. He is not a local and his characteristics are very obvious. It should be easy for you to find him. "She turned around and looked at the young man who was looking at her with a slightly intoxicated expression. She handed the diary to him." When you find that person, give this diary to him. However, before that, you must keep this diary with you. You cannot give it to anyone, and you cannot tell anyone about it. Do you understand? "
"I understand." Seeing the solemn expression on her face, the young man replied in a methodical manner.
"Will you keep it a secret for me, Sebas?"
"I will definitely keep it a secret for you, Miss Delfien." The young man's breathing became heavier. "Miss Delfien, you have saved my life, so Sebas' life belongs to you."
"Very well. Do you remember what I said?"
The young man quickly repeated it.
Delfien nodded her head and smiled faintly. "That's right. When you find that person, tell him that after page 77 of the diary."
"After page 77, Miss Delfien, I will keep it in mind."
Seeing the other party smile at him, the young man was stunned. He quickly swore again and again that he would not reveal this secret. After that, he left with this solemn vow.
Delfien watched as the young man's figure disappeared outside the door. Then, as if she had collapsed, she supported herself on a chair and sat down.
She did not have much time. It was not easy for her to choose a reliable character to make the other party believe that she had saved his life. She did not expect that in just a short day, she would have to use this relationship.
Although the time was too short, it had its advantages. Sometimes, when a person's passion had not yet dissipated, they would do many things without thinking. Although this situation was not very reassuring, she understood that she did not have much of a choice.
As for using others, the daughter of the Prime Minister had never felt any psychological burden at all.
She sat on the chair and rested for a moment. After being injured again, she felt that her body was much weaker than before. This feeling of exhaustion was not good, but Delfien also knew that she did not have much time. She gritted her teeth and stood up with the help of the chair's armrest.
She took a deep breath, then staggered out of the door.
…
Brando and Huang Huo stood in a closed alley. This should be the slum in the west of Rosaleen City. The huts and messy buildings piled up to form a dead end. The surrounding environment was not very good, and there was a disgusting stench in the air.
About a few minutes ago, they saw Incirsta use a secret signal to knock on a tightly shut door. The genius general of Madara signaled them to be patient, and then his figure disappeared behind the door.
After that, there was no more movement.
Huang Huo stood beside Brando, holding her sword. She wanted to say something several times, but in the end, she held back. The path of the Jade Phoenix was about calmness. She always felt that the other party might have noticed something, so she did not speak rashly.
Brando looked at the little girl who looked calm on the surface, but from her occasional frown, he could see that she seemed to be worried about him.
He could not help but smile and said, "Don't worry, he won't just leave."
Huang Huo was stunned for a moment, then realized that her state of mind had been seen through by him. She frowned, annoyed that she was not calm enough.
"No, no …" She explained in a low voice, "That person … he is lying to you, Mr. Brando."
"Huang Huo, you saw it too?" Brando raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.
