Not long after, Pisius hurriedly walked into the hall, "Sir, the assassin has confessed..."
From the underground wine cellar, William found the tied up Helen.
In addition to the buildings on the ground, Black Rock Castle also has many underground buildings, such as wine cellars, storage rooms, dungeons, etc.
At this time, Helin was tied to a pillar and her mouth was gagged.
After seeing William, Helene's eyes, which were already red from crying, became moist again, and tears started to flow down her face.
When William saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to untie the restraints.
"Your Highness, someone wants to assassinate...she tied me up...wuwu..." She had been frightened for as long as she had been tied up. Now that she saw that nothing happened to William, she finally burst into tears.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'm here." William hugged Helin and gently patted her shoulder.
"I thought I would never see you again."
"I brought that woman back from outside Black Rock Castle. She was injured at that time and looked very pitiful."
"But, she tied me up and said she would kill you to eliminate harm for the people..."
Helene described the situation incoherently.
When she took the cook out to do shopping, she met an injured woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with beautiful features and a heroic look in her eyebrows.
After talking, I learned that the person was called Diana, and I heard she was the daughter of a businessman.
Due to an accident, all her family members died, and she was the only one left who fled to Fengrao City.
Because the story Diana told was very miserable, Helene sympathized with her, but Helene did not want to take her back to Black Rock Castle.
However, Diana suddenly suffered an injury and fainted.
A weak woman with wounds on her body and beautiful appearance...
Helin couldn't imagine what would happen if she was left alone to faint on the street. After many considerations, she decided to take her back to Black Rock Castle to recuperate. Who would have expected...
"I believe her so much, but she actually wants to assassinate you..."
"Your Highness, I almost hurt you, please beat me to death..."
Helene, who was out of control, kept sobbing, and William just held her quietly.
After waving away the guards, the wine cellar was as quiet as water except for Helen's crying.
…
In the conference hall, William looked at the kneeling female assassin below. At this time, she lost Helen's disguise and turned into her original appearance. It was exactly as Helen described, gentle and graceful with a hint of heroism.
"Diana, did you hear what Helene said just now?"
"……heard it."
"She is very kind and has experienced a lot of hardships, so she understands you very well and took the risk to bring you into Black Rock Castle. However, you deceived her. Do you know how sad she is?"
Diana bit her lip and remained silent.
She didn't know how much her actions had hurt Helen.
So she was outside the wine cellar just now and didn't have the courage to go in and face Helin.
If William is really the kind of heinous villain, Diana can still comfort herself with the reason of "punishing rape and eradicating evil".
But not William.
Not only is he not a bad lord, but he also cares about his people very much.
Previously, Pytheus revealed Califord's true face to Diana: colluding with foreign races, murdering lords, raising bandits, and exploiting the people.
Not only did he fail to protect the people of the Barron Territory, he instead led the enemy to invade and slaughter the previous lord.
Faced with all the evidence presented by Pisius.
Diana couldn't refute, she just felt her mind went blank.
"Now tell me, who asked you to assassinate me."
"I don't know either..." Diana said softly, with a bitter face and a blush of guilt on her face: "I am indeed the daughter of a businessman, and I did not lie to Helen about my life experience."
"It's just that by chance, I became a magician."
"I originally planned to go back to the Barron Territory to look for my relatives, but suddenly I received a lot of information about you, which described you as a heinous person... So, I will..."
After listening to the female assassin's story, William sighed.
What a stupid female assassin.
People used to say that she has big breasts and no brains, but she is not very outstanding.
She was deceived so easily, even Selani was smarter than her.
However, Diana is actually a magician? This is something William did not expect.
Although William has a teacher who specializes in teaching magic, Langbris, William himself has no magic talent and can only learn some common sense about magic to increase his knowledge.
According to Longbliss, everyone with magical talents is God's favorite.
William felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated.
But it is undeniable that there are very few people with magical talent, and they can become a formal magician from the level of mage apprentice.
This is another rare ratio. Compared to knights, magic indeed tests talent more.
Fortunately, Aleister was not here, otherwise he would have been jealous. He was an official magician, the goal he was pursuing so hard.
"The way you disguise yourself as Helin is magic?"
Diana shook her head and saw her slightly pulling open her collar and putting her right hand in...
Huh? Is this what you want?
William subconsciously turned his head, and after reacting, he froze his movements. For a moment, the white collarbone came into view.
The white and gray gauze skirt is covered with a leather corset, and the collar that originally tightly wrapped the neck is slightly opened, revealing the hidden scenery.
The skin is so good.
The collarbone is so beautiful.
Before William could say anything to stop this indecent behavior, Diana took out a necklace from her collar.
He looked up at William and explained: "I don't know if there is any magic that can be used to disguise myself. Anyway, I don't know how to do it."
"The reason why I was able to disguise myself as Helin was because of its power."
"You see, it's called..."
"Lord, Lord?"
"Ah? Ahem!"
Hearing the call, William came back to his senses, covered his mouth and coughed twice, his face turning slightly red.
It turns out that I didn’t intend to do anything indecent, and I almost made a mistake.
However, William thought it was no wonder that he was so white. After all, it was so dazzling that no one could help but take a second look.
On the contrary, William thinks that he is already a gentleman.
Because he only took one more look.
"What is this necklace, a magic device?"
"That's right, it's called a camouflage necklace. It has no defense or attack capabilities. Its only effect is to camouflage your appearance."
Can you just disguise your appearance?
William raised his eyebrows and glanced at Diana's figure, which looked very similar to Helene's.
But in his impression, Helene was older than her. Could it be that...Diana filled it in?
Diana held the camouflage necklace in both hands, raised it above her head, bowed slightly, and presented the necklace to William.
This necklace is no different from an ordinary necklace, with a rope and a pendant.
It's just that this pendant looks like a green gemstone, only the size of a mung bean, and looks like a low-quality dyed stone.
