Chapter 456

"Wait a minute, stop." The guard said so and stopped the girl.

"What's wrong? Mr. Guard."

"Miss, whose servant are you?"

The girl frowned upon hearing this.

"When did you come here and you didn't recognize me?"

"Hey, that's weird. I've been guarding here for four or five years. It doesn't look like you're doing that much. Do I have to recognize you?"

"I am the personal maid of Her Highness the Princess. I usually accompany Her Highness the Princess when entering and exiting through the main entrance. This time Her Highness the Princess asked me to come out to handle something. This is the certificate given by Her Highness the Princess. Can I go out?"

With that said, she took out a certificate from the bag in her hand. After the guards completed the inspection, they quickly stood up straight and respectfully handed the certificate back to the girl.

"Can you let me leave now? Really, it's obviously an emergency, but you have to waste my time here..." The girl took the certificate and rolled her eyes at the two guards angrily.

"Sorry, we were negligent. If it delayed your time, we can arrange a carriage to take you off. Please..."

"No need." The girl said this, walked out of the door between the two people, and then disappeared in front of them in an instant.

"She... left?"

"Well, she is worthy of being the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She is very skilled."

"Should we be resented by others? What should we do if they give us little shoes in the future?"

"It's impossible. Don't worry. Your Highness the Princess is not that narrow-minded, and the maid next to her won't be that kind of person either."

"Okay, okay."

When the two people were discussing like this, the "girl" had already gone a long way.

"As expected, it's secretive on the outside and sparse on the inside." "She" commented and sighed.

This girl is Orson.

In order to plan his way out of the palace secretly, Orson borrowed a set of clothes from Elsa. In addition, the wig he had previously disguised was still in the storage ring, which made it convenient for him to disguise himself.

After all, if he leaves the palace, he cannot let others see his true appearance.

Many people still recognize my appearance. If I walk casually on the street, if someone who knows me sees me and reports it to the emperor, both myself and Elsa will suffer.

Then, there are only two ways to prevent others from recognizing you, or to cover your face, but this method is almost the same as self-destruction in the current city of Saint Laurent.

Another way is to dress up so that no one can recognize you.

Obviously, this is very successful so far.

Orson's foundation is already very good. His face can be made softer through makeup, his figure can be concealed by wearing some oversized clothes, and his voice can be faked through magic.

In this way, Orson successfully deceived the guard at the door and walked out.

Of course, the most critical reason was the token Elsa gave him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go out even if he broke the rules.

Orson walked around the streets. Many guards passing by reminded Orson that a girl should pay attention to safety. Orson just smiled and nodded. While charming many guards, he also came to himself. destination.

Standing in front of the door, Orson gently knocked on the door twice, and then knocked three times quickly. After waiting for ten seconds, the door was opened.

"It's been a long wait." Orson said and walked into the house with a smile.

Chapter 95: Do you really want to watch from the sidelines?

This house is the residence of the most ordinary residents of Saint Laurent City. Just like its appearance, the interior furnishings are also quite ordinary.

The person who greeted Orson was a bearded middle-aged man, and beside him was an orange-haired half-orc girl. The girl looked at the door, her hands had quietly touched her waist, and she was ready to fight at any time.

"Lion, he is not our enemy." At this time, a little girl sitting on the sofa said.

The girl's voice was quite childish. If Orson hadn't known their identities, he would have been confused by the sight in front of him.

The middle-aged man is the master of the family, the orc is the servant of the family, and the little girl sitting on the sofa is the child of the family, just like an ordinary citizen family in Saint Laurent City.

"Are you used to living here? How many of you are there?" Orson said, taking off his wig, cleaning his cheeks with water magic, and looked at the people with a smile.

It was at this time that Bearded and Lion recognized that this was Orson.

"Thanks to you, Master Orson, I am living a good life." The little girl who had just spoken sat up from the sofa, allowing Orson to see her appearance clearly.

What is more attractive than the girl's long golden and smooth hair is her eyes that are as gorgeous as rubies.

The girl's facial features are also very cute, and there is no way to compare her with the look of the real owner of Orchid Tavern before, who put his life on the deal lightly.

Yes, the little blond girl in front of him is the killing angel who has cooperated with Orson before.

Of course, Orson already knew her real name.

Franka.

"It's safe for us to live here. The guards responsible for public security will come over every now and then to express condolences to us and ask us to take care of ourselves. If we have any other questions, contact them in time." Franka said this and came to Ossen. In front of him, he pretended to be pitiful.

"Brothers, come on! We must catch the bad guys!"

Then her expression returned to normal.

"You know, that's what I tell them every time. Seeing that group of people thinking they were inspired, when in fact the person they are looking for is right in front of them, this reaction is really disgusting. ”

"Pfft." Orson couldn't help laughing when he saw Franka's appearance.

"I really didn't expect that the Killing Angel, who made the gangs below him fearful, would actually do this to these soldiers behind their backs. If those soldiers knew about it, would they cry or laugh?"

Orson quipped.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Orson would even sacrifice your dignity as a man in order to contact us." Franka said, teasing Orson in front of her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the reactions of Rudiger and Lion. Maybe you really have the potential to be a girl? It just so happens that many people outside like you now. If you become a girl, you will definitely make those people dream Broken?"

Seeing the two people bickering, the bearded middle-aged Rudiger finally chose to stop.

"That... leader, Mr. Osen is here. He must have something important to discuss, otherwise he wouldn't be here at such a tense time."

"Oh, that's right." Franka nodded after hearing this, and then sat back on the sofa.

"So, why did Mr. Osun come here this time? Do you want to entrust us to help you find the person who attacked you?"

When she mentioned this, the corners of Franka's mouth also raised slightly.

"I really didn't expect that such an arrogant Mr. Osen would capsize in the gutter. I was shocked when I found out about it."

"...Can I understand that you care about me?"

"Think so, after all, we are cooperative allies. Now that you know my true identity, our cooperative relationship is even more inseparable. So, is this really why you are looking for me?"

"Of course not." Orson shook his head. "If I came to you about this matter, it would be too low a price."

Orson said this and gave a plan.

"I want you to help me assassinate the emperor."

"What?" Franka was stunned for a moment when she heard Orson's words, and then looked at Orson as if she were a fool.

"Mr. Osun, it seems that now it is necessary for me to evaluate our cooperative relationship."

"Don't worry. You don't have to kill the emperor to assassinate him." Orson said, shaking his head. "The more chaotic the situation in the empire is now, the better. If the situation stabilizes, our lack of strength in the DPRK will be easily exposed. Now is a time when everyone is in danger."

"The originally constructed cooperation among various interest groups has fallen apart due to repeated betrayals. We only need to add fuel to the fire, and we can break the cooperation between North Korea and China. By then, everyone will doubt their own allies. That’s when we expand our results.”

"..." Franka heard this and stared at Orson for a long time.

Orson didn't shy away from looking at her.

After a long time, Franka sighed.

"No way, who made us stand in the same boat with you now."

Her words basically declared her agreement.

"Anyway, as long as we attack the emperor in public, it'll be fine, right?"

"Well, it's best to leave a sentence."

"What words?"

…

Today has been more than a month since the assassination of Duke Francois of Orleans. At this time, Emperor Odysseus also came to the square of Saint Laurent to give a speech.

The content of his speech mainly included three points.

First, the results of the initial investigation were announced and several suspects were identified.

People were then warned not to go out at night recently and to stay at home as much as possible to protect their own safety.

The last point is the most important point.

The royal family is ready to completely drive out all unstable factors from the city of Saint Laurent.

Whether it was the former temporary residence of the mercenary group or various underground gang groups, they have become targets of the empire's attack.

Under this situation, Saint Laurent City only allowed the Adventurers Association throughout the continent to continue to be stationed.

Just when the speech was over, a man in the audience suddenly broke through the blockade of the guards and pointed directly at Odysseus with the dagger in his hand.

At this critical moment, Alsace, who was beside Odysseus, took action in time. He cut off the assassin's arm with a sword, and blood immediately splattered out and sprinkled on Odysseus' royal robe.

The assassin saw that it was Odysseus who had taken action, looked at him in surprise, and then said:

"Your Highness, do you really want to watch from the side?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath.

Alsace's expression changed even more, and he quickly stabbed the sword into the opponent's heart.

But even so, Odysseus had already heard those words.

Chapter 96: The Assassination of the Emperor

"Mr. Trossard, if you are willing to help us, all the crimes you have committed in the army will eventually be forgotten. After a brief misunderstanding, you will be known as the one who dared to swing a sword against the emperor in the new era. "Hero."

In the dark room, Orson looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said this.

The other party was a mid-level officer in the imperial army. Because his station was close to Saint Laurent City, he also had intersections with the noble children in the city. He successfully mixed into the social circle of the upper class with his eloquence and some small tricks.

But at the same time, he was also used as a tool.

Although his deeds of eating empty salaries, embezzling money, and causing the murder of superiors in the army to get himself promoted have not been exposed, it does not mean that no one knows.

In addition to accepting assassination commissions, the Orchid Tavern has communicated with many intelligence organizations, among which, it has collected some people's handles.

Admittedly, the Orchid Tavern can directly find those people with these handles and gain benefits from them, but leaving them as a seed to take root and sprout may bring higher benefits. Therefore, the Orchid Tavern will even deliberately use resources to support these people to a higher position.

Today's Trossard is the most typical representative.

"Mr. Orson... Why do you do this? Can you tell me the reason?"

Trossard's forehead was sweating and his whole body was trembling.

He is very scared now.

Any of the things he did, taken separately, would cost him his head.

If Orson threatened him with this and asked him to do anything else, he would agree.

But he was afraid of this one thing alone.

"Why do you do this? It's very simple. I want you to be a hero and to make the empire better." Orson smiled gently.

This kind of mentality has made Trossard even more nervous.

What the two of them were discussing was a major event that could affect the future of the entire empire. Orson's identity was not mentioned, but he was just an ordinary officer.

"I know that you have no parents and no wife, and you have been alone for so many years. People like you are just suitable to be heroes, aren't they?"

Although he was actually threatening Trossard, Orson gave Trossard enough respect verbally.

A layer of sweat appeared on Trossard's forehead. He raised his trembling hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Mr. Orson, you... aren't you afraid that I will verbally promise you and then go back on my word?"

"If you are considering this, I am not afraid."

"Georgina, this name sounds good, right?"

"Mr. Orson, what are you talking about!?" Trossard stood up in an instant when he heard the name.

"Don't worry, I just mentioned a name. Don't you have no family?"
