Chapter 589

Of course, Shien didn't know much about Mara.

There was nothing he could do about it.

After all, strictly speaking, Shien hadn't even seen the Queen Mara once. He didn't even know what she looked like. He only knew about her existence from the series of information Harvey brought him. He didn't know anything else.

This was also one of the reasons why Shien wanted to work with Harvey.

The one who really had dealings with Mara was the prince, not himself. Since that was the case, if he wanted to deal with such a mysterious woman, he naturally needed someone to tell him about her.

Harvey thought that he was almost worthless in Shien's eyes. Little did he know that what Shien wanted had already been obtained bit by bit from him.

No matter what, Shien would definitely meet this Queen Mara.

So, Shien looked at Harvey.

"So, Your Highness, what do you think?"

Shien asked Harvey for advice.

If he wanted to deal with Mara or lure her out, he had to go through Harvey.

Harvey had been fighting against Mara for more than a decade. Since that was the case, he must have some plans.

This was also the reason why Lockett asked Shien to find Harvey.

In the Imperial Capital, if one were to ask who knew Mara the best, wanted to deal with her the most, and had dealings with her many times, then Harvey would definitely be the first choice.

That was the truth.

"I've been observing Mara for a long time. Although I didn't find out her identity, I found out two of her secrets."

Harvey said.

"Secrets?"

Shien raised a brow.

"Yes." Harvey said with a serious face, "Of these two secrets, one is something I discovered by accident, and the other is something I found out when I was secretly investigating her."

As he spoke, Harvey came to a painting in his room.

"Open (Open)."

With a low voice, Harvey chanted a short magic incantation.

Kacha!

With a soft sound, the painting in front of Harvey suddenly slid open like a small safety door.

From Shien's angle, he could see that behind the painting was a small cabinet.

There were many small items in the cabinet. There were crystal tools used to record images, knives inlaid with gems, magic potions with unknown effects, letters, documents, and information-like parchments, which were rolled into scrolls and placed inside.

Harvey pulled out a scroll from the pile and took out a crystal tool for recording images.

"First, please take a look at this."

Harvey handed the scroll to Shien.

Sean did not stand on ceremony. He directly took the scroll and opened it.

As soon as he opened it, Shien found that there was a map drawn on the scroll.

It was clearly a hand-drawn map, as if Harvey had drawn it himself based on all sorts of information and memories. There were many rough lines and traces of modification on it, allowing one to see the painstaking effort the person had put into this map.

"What is this?"

Shien frowned, not understanding.

Harvey didn't keep him in suspense.

"I've been observing Mara's movements for ten years. In the end, I've sifted through all kinds of information and deductions. I've successfully drawn this map." "If my efforts in the past ten years are not in vain, this map will eventually lead me to a secret place that has a great relationship with Mo Luo." said Jarvis seriously.

"Secret location?" Sean's spirit was lifted, and he hastily said, "In other words, Mara often appears here?"

If that was the case, Shien wouldn't mind being a hunter waiting for Mara to fall into his trap.

Unfortunately …

"Not necessarily." Harvey poured a bucket of cold water on him. "I can only be sure that this place is closely related to Mara. She doesn't appear there often."

"Is that so?" Shien was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't lose interest. Looking at the map in his hand, he said thoughtfully, "If this place is closely related to Mara, then you haven't been there?"

"I haven't." Harvey sighed and said, "However, I've sent people there to investigate, and the result was …"

Javis did not say the rest of the sentence, but Sean could guess it.

They must've all disappeared, or died a heroic death.

"But this also means that there's something wrong there, right?"

Shien said.

"Exactly." Harvey nodded, "I wanted to continue investigating there, but I was worried that sending people there too often would attract the Poison Consort's attention and let her find out what I'm doing. So I didn't dare to act rashly."

"I see." Sean could understand. He looked at the map in his hand again and said, "So you mean for me to go here and take a look?"

"At least, I think you should be able to find something there." Harvey didn't deny it and said, "There must be some secrets hidden there. Otherwise, that suspicious woman wouldn't have kept in contact with that place. I think it's worth going there to take a look."

With Shien's ability, even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's lair, he would still be able to go there.

That was why Harvey provided this information he had kept for many years.

This was what Harvey had discovered when he secretly investigated Mara.

There was another discovery …

"Please take a look at the image recorded in this crystal."

Harvey handed the crystal to Shien.

Shien also had the same crystal.

It was the one Shien used to provoke a stupid noble young master to take a photo with Rosie.

This crystal could record images, and as long as magic was injected, the image inside could be projected.

So, Sean injected magic into the crystal, causing the surface of the crystal to shine with a fluorescent light.

In the next second, a person's face appeared on the crystal.

It was a young girl with a shy smile on her face.

The girl was quite unique. She had a small face and big eyes. Her skin was not fair, and even a little dark. She had an indescribable sense of vitality and health. She should be a very sunny girl.

Shien couldn't help but take a few glances. After muttering, "Not as cute as my Ai Yi and Lilith," he looked at Harvey.

"Why are you showing me a little girl?" Shien almost blurted out. "Is she your illegitimate daughter?"

"… You really like to joke." Harvey almost choked to death.

To be honest, he hadn't even married and had children yet, okay?

Although as a member of the royal family, and a direct descendant, he definitely had one or two fiancées, he had exhausted all his energy to deal with Mara. How could he have the energy to think about marriage?

Besides, his father was now bewitched by that Mara concubine. Most of the nobles in the palace had also sided with that poisonous concubine. Most of them were thinking about how to deal with him. Who would still urge him to get married?

This time, when he was suspected of treason, the families of those fiancées even came to him and expressed that they wanted to break off the engagement. If he couldn't rise to the throne in the future, everyone would want to stay away from him.

By then, not to mention being an illegitimate daughter, it would be good if he didn't have any descendants.

If Shien knew what Harvey was thinking, he would definitely sigh with emotion. What a miserable man.

But now, his curiosity was aroused.

"If she's not your illegitimate daughter, then who is she?" Shien teased. "Is she that Mara's illegitimate daughter?"

Of course, Shien said this in a joking manner.

Who would have thought that Harvey would say something like this.

"It's not impossible."

Harvey's words came out of his mouth as if he was going to shock everyone to death.

"Ahem …!" Shien coughed violently and widened his eyes. He looked at Harvey in shock. "Are … are you serious?"

"I'm not sure about that." Harvey shrugged. "It's just that there's a high chance that this girl has something to do with Mara."

"What do you mean?" Shien asked. "Is this your accidental discovery?"

"That's right." Javis stopped smiling and looked straight at Sean. "I once discovered by chance that Mara seemed to be paying attention to this girl. He even sent the Lefferut family's men of sacrifice several times to get close to this girl."

When he first discovered this, Harvey thought that the girl had come into contact with some secret of Mara's that caused him to send assassins to kill her.

It wasn't until later that Harvey was shocked to find out that the people who had been sent there weren't there to harm the girl, but to protect her.

"Protect …?"

Shien blinked.

"Yes." Harvey said with certainty. "The Lefferut's men of sacrifice protected the girl several times and saved her from danger."

If that was the case, then it was no wonder that Harvey said that this girl was very likely Mara's illegitimate daughter.

Otherwise, why would the Poison Concubine, who had been hiding behind the scenes and doing all kinds of shady things, send people to protect a little girl?

"I've investigated the girl and found that her origin is also very mysterious. She appeared in the empire almost at the same time as Mara, and was adopted by a small noble family. She's been living well these years."

Harvey's words made Shien admit that this girl was very likely related to Mara.

If he wanted to deal with Mara, he might be able to start with this girl.

After some thought, Shien asked Harvey.

"What's her name?"

While asking, Shien looked at the girl on the crystal.

Jarvis's voice echoed in his ears.

"Her name is Lenny Bafine, the adopted daughter of the head of the empire's viscount Bafine family."

Hearing this, Shien murmured.

"Lenny Bafine …"

The name was remembered by Shien.
