Chapter 879 Reasons for Betrayal

Why did Dot Somy mention this matter?

At that time, a serious riot did break out in Silver City. Successive mine disasters resulted in the death of hundreds of absentees. However, the employers were only willing to compensate the freedmen for their losses. Their attitude of turning a blind eye to the refugees hired at low prices aroused the anger of the families of the victims. anger. Refugees who didn't want to wait to die swarmed out of the mining area, burning, killing and looting all the way, and finally the order was restored by the suppression of the King's Knights.

The parents went away for a long time that day, and it wasn't until the siblings were sent to the old Gu Lan's house that Nightingale heard the cause of their parents' death from each other.

But what the Viscount said doesn't seem to be the case?

She didn't expect that an accident that had passed for more than ten years would still have the possibility of overturning. If it is as the other party said, the main investigation this time is no longer just the relationship between Hyde and the Somei family.

Nightingale quietly exited the room, walked through the floors, and arrived at the bottom of the basement, then activated the listening symbol that she carried with her.

It was originally prepared for Roland to call her back at any time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this way.

"It's really suspicious," Roland at the end of the sigil replied after listening to the narration, "So you want to stay in the mansion for a longer time?"

"Yes, I want to wait until night and ask Hyde himself...he might know something." Nightingale hesitated, "Sorry, Your Majesty, I..."

"There's nothing to apologize for," Roland quickly interrupted her. "I'll wait for you in the camp until you finish your investigation. Don't worry, it's very safe here. As long as I don't go out, it's not a violation of the agreement. On the contrary You have to pay attention to your own safety, don't be too impulsive, no matter what the situation is, report to me every two hours."

A warm current surged in Nightingale's heart, she was silent for a while before softly responding, "Yes, I understand."

...

It wasn't until the moonlight outside the skylight disappeared that Nightingale left the cellar and walked towards the room where Hyde was - before that, she had already confirmed where her brother was. The setting of the moon in the west meant that it was close to three o'clock in the middle of the night, and most people had already fallen asleep. Even the night guards would inevitably doze off again and again, so it was also the most suitable time for her to act.

Hyde's bedroom is located on the first floor of the mansion, near the back garden. Generally speaking, only servants and less important guests will be placed here. This has confirmed the words of the two guards from the side - Viscount Dott did not Taking the successor of the Gülen family too seriously made Nightingale realize that the friendliness of the Somei family when she was a child was probably a fake.

However, the contemptuous attitude of the other party made her a lot more relaxed. There was no one guarding the entire hall and the aisle, so even if any accident happened, she would have enough time to get out.

After entering the bedroom, Nightingale directly pulled his younger brother out of the quilt. When he woke up from the dream, before he fully recovered, a gleaming dagger was already on his neck.

"Screaming, calling for help, and crying will kill you, understand?" She stood behind Hyde and whispered.

The latter nodded hastily.

"Very well, now turn around and see who I am?"

Hyde took a quick snapshot, but when he saw the face of the comer clearly under the dim moonlight, his eyes suddenly widened! If it weren't for the dagger around his neck, he would have almost screamed.

But he managed to hold back in the end.

After confirming that the other party's mood had stabilized, Nightingale slowly withdrew the dagger.

"You...why are you here?" Hyde suppressed his trembling voice, "Shouldn't you have died long ago?"

The moment he heard him speak, the dust-laden memories of the past rushed into her heart. At that moment, Nightingale seemed to have returned to the old Glenn's house. She was driven by the pain of her brother's betrayal and the oppression of her distant relatives, and she even lost consciousness. Dazed.

It was the person in front of her who tore apart her most vulnerable side and exposed it to outsiders who were not at ease.

"Why do you say that?" She bit her tongue, letting the smell of rust wash away the distracting thoughts in her mind.

"Because, because..." Hyde swallowed, "Tifeco searched the capital and surrounding cities several times, and declared that all the witches had been executed by him. No, but, Veronica, I That is to say, sister... I didn't want you to die, I was also very shocked when I heard the news at the time, and thought that if you didn't leave without authorization, maybe nothing would happen."

Veronica... She hasn't heard this name for a long time, but after so many years, she is no longer as easy to trust each other as before.

The magic power vibrating like strings had already told her the answer—the second half of the sentence was all a lie.

"How did you get together with Viscount Dot Somerme?"

"Uh, this..." He hesitated slightly, "After the death of old Glenn, there were frequent quarrels in the family. I don't know the specific situation, but when I inherit the title, there is almost no savings in the family. I said it. At this time, Lord Viscount came to the door, and I had no choice." [Lie]

"He forced you to merge into the Suomei family?"

"Yes, he said that if I don't agree, he will get rid of me..." [lying]

"Then what are you doing for him now?" Nightingale said calmly, "Are you helping the poor?"

"No," Hyde gritted his teeth. "He's just using me as a cover, and he's actually selling dream water! Those rats who transported the goods for him are mixed in the crowd, and I only recently discovered his trick!"

The magic power in the first half of the sentence did not respond, but the second half of the sentence was still a lie.

However, Nightingale found that she wasn't angry, and was even a little relaxed... Yes, that's how it feels, and this is what a normal conversation should be like. There are constant lies, mixed truths and falsehoods... people's hearts are always changing, even if they are connected by blood, they can't hear the other party's true heart. Since the awakening of her ability, she has long been used to such situations, whether she does not change her face in the face of lies, or strips the truth from layers of deceit.

On the contrary, it was Roland's kind of conversation, which rarely detects the beating of magic power, that made it difficult for her to adapt for a while.

At this moment, the shadow killer who lurked in the darkness and made the nobles of the central region tremble has returned.

"What are your plans next?"

Hearing these words, Hyde suddenly fell to the ground and begged in a mournful voice, "Sister, please help me!"

"help you?"

He took two steps forward, "I know it was my fault...but I am your own brother! Lord Viscount did not treat me as a nobleman at all, as you have seen, he actually brought the servant's house Use it for me, and repairing this mansion is just to hide people's eyes and ears, if you continue to stay here, he will attack me sooner or later!"

"So you want me to take you away?"

"Let's go? Then there's nothing left?" Hyde shook his head in panic, and then said bitterly, "You killed old Glenn, right? Although you don't know what ability you used, you can easily enter Here, I must be able to enter his bedroom. Sister, kill him! As long as he dies, I will have a chance to become a real Somei nobleman! Then, and then you will kill the other heirs one by one, this territory ...and all the properties of the Suomei family, they all belong to us!"

Nightingale stared into his eyes and didn't answer for a long time. It wasn't until Hyde lowered her head uncomfortably that she said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question first."

"Yes, yes..." The younger brother responded quickly.

"Back then, why did you betray me?" Nightingale asked word by word. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
