Aisphany and Orderfell were sitting opposite each other.
As the main general of Burning Dawn's North camp, Orderfell wasn't young anymore but at the same time, as a noble, Orderfell took good care of himself. His skin was tight and shiny, making him look younger than his actual age. Plus his rather buff body, it made him look like a man in his prime.
"The wolf I once killed was the size of a calf. Although it left a few wounds on my body, its head has already been hung on my diary. It has become one of my most precious spoils of war."
Orderfell once again praised his bravery to Aisphany.
It was the third time since both of them met that day that Orderfell mentioned his bravery.
Even though Aisphany was an excellent liar and had the shrewdness that others didn't have, she felt the smile on her face stiffen.
No one would be able to accept a person repeating the same incident back to back, especially when the person was a man.
A man who should be mature.
If it wasn't for the fact that she still had to rely on Orderfell, Aisphany would have taught him how annoying it was for a grown man to be so wishy-washy.
But now?
Aisphany flipped her blonde hair, her eyes moving around captured all of Orderfell's attention.
"What an idiot!"
Aisphany commented in her heart when she saw Orderfell's reaction. She then showed a smile on her face and said, "General Orderfell, we should pay more attention to Dilder and the others!
It's not the first time they had a secret meeting!
"On the day I arrived, they were already plotting something, and now? I'm afraid it's the last moment! "
Aisphany tried her best to remind Orderfell.
However, Orderfell didn't care at all.
"Don't worry, Lady Envoy.
I'm fully prepared!
As long as that bastard Dilder dares to make a move, I'll make him suffer! "
Orderfell said confidently.
Aisphany gave up the last bit of persuasion when she saw Orderfell's reaction and started to plot a path for herself.
In fact, if it wasn't for her contract with Kieran, Aisphany would have left the moment she noticed something was wrong.
The first rule of Aisphany's life was never to put herself in danger!
As for Kieran?
It was an accident.
An accident caused by Starbeck.
Whenever she thought about that harmless guy, Aisphany wished she could turn back time. Then, she went around that guy who seemed like a fat sheep but had a hungry wolf behind him. She originally wanted to get some money and run but as she got closer to him, she realized how bad her situation was.
The nobles of Burning Dawn were fighting for power, the wolf plague was wreaking havoc, and the spies of Golden City …
Mixed in with so many forces, if she was the slightest bit careless, she would be smashed to pieces.
That's right!
And the idiot in front of him!
Aisphany unconsciously took another glance at Orderfell.
Under Aisphany's gaze, Orderfell immediately puffed out his chest, making himself look stronger.
But in Aisphany's eyes, Kieran was nothing but a clown.
He thought that he was in control of everything, but he didn't know that it was the other party who let him know.
Only now did Aisphany understand why Orderfell wasn't infected by the wolf plague.
With his intellect, whether or not he was infected with the wolf plague would not affect the mastermind's plan.
Or could it be that idiots wouldn't be infected by the wolf plague?
Aisphany criticized in her heart.
At the same time, her heart was trembling because of the mastermind's plan.
The specific target of the wolf plague had already raised doubts in Aisphany's heart. After a few tests, the quick-witted Aisphany noticed something wasn't right.
However, what Aisphany couldn't imagine was that the mastermind didn't even consider the consequences.
A bunch of Burning Dawn soldiers infected with the wolf plague would destroy Burning Dawn.
But without Burning Dawn's restriction, the infected soldiers would surely turn into wild horses that broke free from their reins, wreaking havoc around Supreme Road.
Even more so …
It would spread to the whole of Saint Cyanda.
It wasn't some alarmist talk!
Aisphany had a close look at the infected soldiers' frenzied faces.
They were monsters that had lost their humanity and only knew how to slaughter.
"No way!
I have to leave this place!
Even if it's against the contract, there are ways to remedy it but if I stay here, I will really die a graveless death! "
With a plan in her heart, Aisphany started to patronize Orderfell.
"General Orderfell, I think the hunting that you suggested last time is a great idea, why don't we go tomorrow?
I want to rest early for tomorrow's hunt. "
Aisphany said.
"Very well!
Have a good rest, I'll wait for you tomorrow! "
Orderfell stood up with an excited face and bid farewell to Aisphany.
The noble general thought it was his sincerity that moved Aisphany.
From the start to the end, he didn't notice Aisphany's disdain towards him.
Similar to how confident he was in his own arrangements, he didn't even notice how big the loopholes were.
After Orderfell left, Aisphany stood up and started to pack her things.
Although it wasn't what she expected, she still got something out of it. Orderfell even gave her a couple of decent accessories, the kind that could sell for a high price in Dawn City.
Soon, a bag appeared in Aisphany's hand.
However, until then, Aisphany realized her assistant, follower, and slightly retarded Raulee wasn't in the room.
"That damn bastard, where did he go at this time?"
Aisphany cursed softly.
However, she didn't just walk away like that.
She knew once she walked away, Raulee would surely die a graveless death.
Those nobles might be imbeciles in other aspects but when it came to interrogation, they invented a lot of scalp numbing and chilling methods.
Aisphany went around the house and naturally expanded her search to the surroundings.
Time passed minute by minute.
Soon, a ray of sunlight appeared on the eastern horizon.
Dawn had arrived.
The sun was about to rise.
The entire Burning Dawn main camp was filled with an unusual atmosphere.
The sharp Aisphany quickly noticed something wasn't right.
Aisphany quickly hid herself in the shadows.
Then, she saw Orderfell who was tied up tightly.
The general was furious, shouting repeatedly.
His assistant, Dilder, was standing in front of him with a smile and a sword in his hand.
"I can kill you anytime I want but do you know why you are still alive?
Because I need those bastards to see you dead! Only by killing the general in name can they have no way out! "
Dilder lowered his voice and spoke to Olderfell.
"You … Sob sob sob!"
Orderfell opened his mouth and wanted to scold but he was stuffed by Dilder, who was prepared.
The stinky rags were obviously some soldier's socks, it didn't just shut Orderfell's mouth, he even started to retch.
Unfortunately, Orderfell's mouth was stuffed, he couldn't vomit, all he could do was regurgitate.
"Bring him to the field, tell the soldiers who are willing to obey us to stab him once, and those who don't, kill them as well …"
"Walloon is back!
He even brought the imperial envoy, 2567! "
Dilder's words were interrupted by a scout.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment before he waved his hand without being too concerned.
"There are a few more who came here to die, just nice to catch them all in one go."
"Let's go!
Let us welcome the lord envoy first, after all, we should show some courtesy to those who are about to die. "
