Although Vivienne was very angry, she did not show it. She wanted to see how many secrets this female slave had hidden from her.
“How old are you?”
“16.”
After asking two questions Vivienne changed the topic. “Who is your master?”
“The queen!”
Hearing this answer Lorca and Vivienne’s eyes were filled with shock.
“Are you sending her a message again?”
“Yes.”
“What message?”
The slave girl unconsciously said, “I’ve already sent what the Lady said just now.”
At this moment, Lorca and Vivienne only had one thought in their hearts, it’s over.
Once the queen knew, she would definitely send people to hunt them down.
Even when they arrived at Star City, she would still send soldiers or killers to hunt them down. These weren’t the good-for-nothings that patrolled the streets, but soldiers who were truly good at a.s.sa.s.sination. They were so powerful that they wouldn’t even have the strength to retaliate.
Vivienne’s expression was filled with despair, and her voice was trembling. “If I stay, you guys can leave first. After they capture me, they won’t care about you anymore.”
With a thought from Lugh, a ray of light flashed past, directly cutting off the maid’s neck. At the same time, he also obtained her memory data. After Lugh quickly finished reading through it, he casually said, “It’s no use. Once she makes a move, she will kill us all. She has placed spies in all the n.o.ble residences, so it’s impossible for them to be on the surface. If anyone survives, they will be witnesses, so it’s impossible for her to leave any witnesses behind.”
“Your servants are not reliable anymore.”
“Listen to my plans. Don’t take anything. Let the servants draw attention from the back. We’ll go around and walk in front. That way, we might have a chance of survival. Just call a few reliable people over and forget about the rest.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Lorca and Vivienne looked at Lugh’s back and exchanged a glance. After calming down their panic, they walked towards their own carriages.
They were originally panicking, but because of Lugh’s words, they had actually calmed down quite a bit.
Lugh returned to the carriage. As he placed the books and other things into the runic s.p.a.ce, he said to Clare, “There might be a battle later. There might be some danger. Are you afraid?”
“I’m afraid. But I won’t leave Young Master!” Clare said seriously.
“Mm, Let’s go!”
Lugh smiled as he stroked her hair and pulled her down from the carriage.
Lugh was not afraid. Instead, he was a little excited.
This was his home ground.
To others, this place was like a maze. However, to the structure of a modern city, no one in this world was more familiar than him. In addition, his soul could sense a distance of three thousand meters. In addition, the night sky was dark, this was the most suitable natural battlefield for him.
So many runes had been condensed.
The Simon Empire could not let go at all, and he could finally use them without any scruples today.
Lugh was so excited that his body was trembling slightly.
A few people at the front of the convoy walked over. There were only seven or eight people. They were all people whom he had met at the Dawn Inn.
“Young Master Night, what happened?” Rexton came over and quickly asked.
When Lorca had called him, he knew that things were not that simple.
“Tell me on the way.”
As Lugh walked, he explained the matter. “This is how it is. You can choose to stay here. Maybe you will be fine or maybe you will die. You can also come with me. Whether you will live or die is unknown. How do you choose to make a decision?”
Lugh explained the situation to them.
Then, he looked at them indifferently.
They were all a little fl.u.s.tered.
One of them said softly, “I believe that the queen will not kill people casually. This matter was caused by Vivienne. Why do you want us to bear the responsibility together? I won’t go with you. I’m sorry.”
“Vivienne, we have never offended you. Do you want to give everyone an explanation for this matter? Do you really have the heart to see everyone die with you? This matter was caused by you. You should bear the responsibility. We are all innocent.”
“Vivienne, you should stay here with us and listen to the queen’s orders.”
At the true moment of life and death, everyone revealed temperaments that they had never revealed before.
Vivienne’s heart was very sad.
She wanted them to live together, but they wanted her to die.
Lorca shouted angrily, “Is this what you call human behavior? You’re asking Vivienne to die. Even if she really withstood all the responsibility, do you think we have a chance to live? You guys really disappoint me!”
“I’m telling the truth.”
The man who had spoken earlier retorted loudly, “At this time, it’s either her or us. One death is better than everyone else’s death. “If she dies, we still have a chance to live. If she doesn’t die, all of us will die with her. Do you understand?”
Lugh watched coldly from the side.
All of this was within his expectations. As expected, this group of n.o.bles was still selfish.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
“Interesting!”
Lugh looked at them and said casually, “I’ve investigated. Among your slaves, there are at least three people who are sending messages. It seems that each of your families has been infiltrated by royal spies.
“You should be very clear that once this kind of thing is exposed, everyone will suffer. The possibility of all of them being silenced is very high. However, you are still holding on to the idea of what if. You are placing your hopes of surviving on the mercy of others.
“For this, you are willing to push your friends out to die.”
Lugh began to sneer.
