Chapter 160 Father and Daughter
"Miss..." The magician immediately saluted Anne. He was a citizen of the Whitehead family and a soldier of the Marquis. Of course, he did not dare not to obey the orders of the Marquis' daughter.
The soldiers also dispersed, and a tense emergency soon subsided.
Sir Charles saluted Anne and thanked him, "Thanks Miss Anne. The work these days made my mind feel as if it was all over the sand of the Desert of Death, so I forgot to tell my assistant what to pay attention to when attending the banquet.
I apologize to you for our recklessness.”
Anne also gave Sir Charles and said briefly: "Welcome to your arrival, and Miss Jessica. I like your adventures very much, and searching for the secrets of great civilizations in ancient ruins. This was my childhood dream.
I look forward to talking to you alone. I am really curious about ancient civilizations.
Now I have some important things to see my father, and when the banquet begins, I will find you."
Miss Anne and Sir Charles, Jessica was not very familiar with them. She helped them to help because she knew that if Jessica really wanted to assassinate the Marquis, she would never bring so many weapons. Sir Charles was exploring the Desert for the Empire, and being able to help was a mere task for Anne.
Because of the weapons of the Azure Cathedral, Anne did not greet the Jazz too much. She saluted the Jazz again, and then took Brown into the Governor's Mansion.
Brown nodded to Jazz and Jessica politely, and Hannah performed a curtsy and walked over to Jessica.
Hannah didn't expect to see Jessica here. In order not to arouse the suspicion of people around her, she did not show too closeness.
Jessica, who knew that she had done something wrong, followed Sir Charles into the Governor's Mansion honestly. A bat flashed through the air and hung gently on the wall of the Governor's Mansion.
In the first floor lobby, everything needed for a banquet was ready. The lights illuminated the spacious hall, and early guests gathered together in groups to discuss what changes the new Governor Marcelus would bring to Saroyang. The waiters shuttled back and forth with pallets, and the wine in the pallet was allowed to be used by the guests.
Anne made Brown Hall wait, and she walked upstairs alone along the stairs. There were guards standing on the stairs and the second floor corridor, and no one could dive upstairs from their eyelids.
Brown picked up two glasses of white wine from the tray passed by the waiter next to him, and after handing Hannah a glass, he said, "I'm going to find my brother Reed Jennings. He knew that my father had never given me a maid. I'm hard to explain your affairs to him, and I don't want to pull him into this incident.
So, please wait for me here for a while. After I talk to Reed about the family, I will come back to find you."
Hannah took the glass and said, "I will wait for you to come back here, Mr. Brown."
"It only takes a moment." Brown drank the white wine in his glass and walked towards a soldier standing guard in the corner. Reed was the commander of the Royal Musketeers, and the soldiers must know where Reed was.
At this time, Anne had already arrived on the third floor and met the Marquis of Whitehead in a study without lights.
"Father, you're still so careful." The room was not on, and the chances of assassin attacking here from outside were definitely smaller than that of a room with lights. Anne turned around and closed the door, and said to the Marquis standing by the window: "I have something about the weapons in the Blue Cathedral, and I want to report to you."
The place where the Marquis of Whitehead stood, you could see the main entrance of the Governor's House. In the light, he could see the expressions of every guest who came to attend the banquet clearly.
Knowing that Anne came in and the Marquis did not look back, he continued to look at the people outside and said, "The benefits of an assassination are sometimes far higher than launching a war.
When I was in the empire, many people wanted me to die. This time, when I came to Marcelus, the number of people who wanted me to die increased.
If you want to accomplish great things, the first thing you have to do is... be alive.
Only when you are alive can your enemies be restless; only when you are alive can you seize opportunities; only when you are alive can you see your enemies perish.
Annie, you were too careless.
He didn't actually bring a guard... Brown was just a ninth-level magician. He didn't know how to fight and had no ability to protect you. You should be clear about your value to me. If you die, it will be a major loss to the family.
What did Eric go to do? He hasn't appeared by your side since you arrived at Saroyang."
"Father, your words have extinguished my excitement when I saw you." Annie stood by the door without moving. She said, "You don't need to worry about my safety... No one has touched me these days, and no one dares to call me when you come. After all, I am your tool, and killing me will not do them any good."
"Family affection will make you lose your calmness and will make your enemies catch your handle. Annie, what I taught you since childhood is to 'for the sake of the family, anyone can sacrifice'. At the same time, you should also be clear about your role in the family. A tool also has the value of a tool, and you should not die in vain...
Do you have anything to tell me about the weapons in the Azure Cathedral?”
Anne said, "Father... I don't care what you think of me. But please let me know if you have any plans in the future. Don't think that I did nothing in Saroyang...
I want to inform you now that the arms in the arsenal of the Azure Cathedral were bought by the Parliament from the Suga, enough to equip two elite divisions and two infantry divisions. And I have also obtained news that the Parliament wants to transfer these weapons tonight, and they are probably starting to act now."
What Anne said was exactly what the Marquis knew, and he replied easily: "Very good... Five days ago you told me that there were a large number of weapons in the Azure Cathedral, and today you can find out the number of weapons.
I am worthy of being my carefully trained daughter.
Do you also see that the Parliament will transfer these weapons tonight? But it will cost to get these weapons... I have arranged everything. Tonight, all the celebrities of Saroyang are here with me, the Speaker of the Parliament, the General of the Azure Corps, Mayor Saroyang, the Chief of the Police...
Saroyang's eyes were all here, the hidden mice were about to come out, and I had already released the owl."
Facing the confident Marquis of Whitehead, Anne said coldly: "I hope your owl will be more efficient in doing things and see a few more mice.
Because the Azure Cathedral has no weapons to the parliament tonight, I have sent someone to draw wastewater from the sewer to flood the Azure Cathedral's arsenal.
