Chapter 339 Dining Table for Four Women
It is said that when Louise traveled across the ocean from Bayam to Backlund, she only accompanied the maid lady with her, but she accidentally "picked up" the "Seer" lady on the way.
Later, due to the incident with Ambassador Intis, Forsi and Miss Hugh temporarily lived in No. 59 Egram Street.
Not long ago, the two had just left, and now Rebecca was sent to the door by his own grandfather.
Louise couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, since becoming a "witch", her "love luck" seems to be a little too strong...
If she could choose, she actually didn't want Rebecca to stay. The reason was very simple. Dean Russell's real purpose was not clear, and she still couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friend.
The "astronomer" of Sequence Five, even in the "Church of Steam", can be regarded as a quasi-high-level person, not to mention that he is the dean of the research institute, and his status has been raised by another level, but it's fine if he doesn't report himself. He even sent his granddaughter to me... This is something Louise finds it difficult to understand, and she must be vigilant.
The "torture" to Rebecca just now was mostly due to Louise's deliberate intentions. On the one hand, she wanted to use this to learn some information about Russell, and on the other hand, she also wanted to let Rebecca know the difficulty. The meaning is to retreat.
However, she seemed to accidentally arouse Rebecca's rebellious psychology, and the latter refused to leave stubbornly... This character is somewhat similar to Russell's, and it may also be influenced by the experience of the death of his parents in his early years.
Although Miss Maid and Rebecca had similar childhood experiences, their personalities are very different, which is embarrassing.
Louise shook her head slightly, she could clearly see that when she was about to do something, Rebecca had the idea of resistance.
Moreover, as the only granddaughter of "Astronomer" Russell, it is impossible for Rebecca not to carry one or two magical items on her body. Resisting, actually chose to be submissive.
It's a little weird, and things are getting more and more interesting... Louise murmured silently, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.
…………
The arrival of Rebecca also brought about another significant change, that is, there was suddenly an extra seat on the dining table.
Originally, the nobles of this era would have special servants to serve dishes, pour wine, and even cut steaks, grilled fish and other foods on the table into small pieces and put them on the dinner plate for the host to eat.
Although Louise doesn't reject the extravagant life of today, she scoffs at this habit, so every time she eats, she blocks the servants at home, and only eats with the maid and the "Seer".
At first, the maid felt a little awkward, but after a long time, she got used to it.
Here comes the problem. The atmosphere at the dinner table today is a bit awkward, and even a little confusing. As for the reason... Of course it's not as simple as having an extra stranger.
The four young and beautiful ladies are all as beautiful as flowers. Outsiders will probably yearn for this scene...Of course, it would be better if the atmosphere between them is more harmonious.
The maid was enjoying the food quietly, but occasionally glanced secretly at other members of the table, and then quickly retracted her eyes before being noticed.
Miss "Seer" was slicing the steak on the dinner plate vigorously, and the knife scratched across the porcelain, making harsh sounds inadvertently, and looked back and forth at Louise and Rebecca with slightly resentful eyes.
As a newcomer who just joined, Rebecca seemed a little cautious, especially after discovering that her experience in the study had been overheard, she was a little ashamed and didn't dare to look up at people, so she could only concentrate on dealing with the situation at the dining table. gourmet food.
Finally, she turned to Louise. As the real center of the vortex, she seemed to be a normal person, happily enjoying the food, and finally praised from the air:
"Today, the level of chefs is playing well, and the progress is obvious."
Unfortunately, no one responded.
But she wasn't embarrassed either. She moved her gaze with great interest, looked around the three of them, and suddenly smiled, her gaze finally resting on Miss "Seer", and asked:
"In the past few days, have you found any clues about the members of the 'Secret Order'?"
Katrin stopped what she was doing, wiped her mouth with a napkin, glanced at Rebecca from the corner of her eye, and replied aloud:
"No, those two people seem to have evaporated from the world, and they may have left Backlund."
Louise took a sip of the after-dinner wine, savored it for two seconds and continued to ask:
"The 'Nighthawks' are still hunting them down?"
Katrin nodded and said, "The hunt is still going on, and it hasn't let up."
"That means that the members of the 'Secret Order' haven't left yet. They stole something from Duke Negan, and they won't slip away so easily." Then, Louise made a decision and said:
"Continue to investigate. I will ask Rebecca to assist you. Her connections in Backlund may be helpful."
"What?" The two said in unison, one of them was Miss Seer, and the other was of course Rebecca herself.
Even Sophia raised her head with doubts on her face, because Louise seemed to have revealed a little too much to the newcomer Rebecca... The maid lady knew very well that even Miss Audrey They don't know much, why would they look at this young lady who just met for a day?
"What, is there a problem?" Louise sat on the main seat and said calmly.
Katrin didn't speak, but Rebecca spoke first:
"Miss Louise, I..."
Before finishing speaking, Louise raised her right hand and interrupted:
"What should you call me?"
Rebecca recalled the "humiliating" experience not long ago, her face was slightly red, and she whispered:
"elder sister."
Louise gave a simple "hmm", retracted her right hand and said:
"Now you can go on."
Rebecca sorted out her thoughts and said, "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with Miss Katrin. I'm afraid it will be half the effort to carry out such an important task..."
"That's it..." Katrin quickly echoed.
Louise stared at the two of them with calm eyes until their voices weakened and disappeared, and then said:
"It's all over."
Then, resting her eyes on Rebecca's face, she said:
"Do you know that members of the Secret Order successfully stole something from Duke Negan?"
Being clichéd again... Rebecca felt that she was a "lawyer" for nothing, so she could only nod helplessly:
"What Russell told me happened at the ball hosted by Duke Negan."
Louise nodded slightly. She didn't choose to answer the resistance of the two, and suddenly turned to Rebecca and asked:
"Have you ever killed someone?"
