Unspeakable bubbles

A bright and beautiful seventeen-year-old girl walked in. She was all smiles at first, but after smelling the faint scent of medicine in the room, a shadow fell over her smile.

"Father, what interesting thing are you looking at?" Princess Isabella asked casually.

“It was a viscount who applied for ‘divine revenge’.”

"what?"

Isabel looked surprised: "The viscount found evidence?"

She immediately got to the heart of the matter: generally speaking, such infighting among nobles rarely leaves anyone with any evidence to use against them.

"Of course there is evidence, look."

Charlie pointed to a small package on the table: "The new Speaker of the State of Statt Federation, Lord Edward, urgently sent someone to deliver the evidence to me."

Section 369, Chapter 368: Escape

Isabel's brow furrowed: "If Viscount Sain wants to carry out a 'holy revenge,' why is the Speaker of the Federation providing the evidence?"

"This newly appointed Viscount Yog lived in the Federation for a long time before returning to Thane, during which time Nicole Chaman sent his trusted knights to the Federation to eliminate him completely."

Charlie shook his head as he spoke: "Knights shouldn't be sent to do such dirty work. Nicole Charman is a fool."

"Father, because of the Federation's intervention, that knight failed?" Isabel asked.

"No, that's not it."

"After that Knight Kidd set fire to Viscount Yog's sister and burned her to death, he just went back like that."

Charlie paused for a moment, then said, "It's one thing to be soft-hearted for a moment, but the key is that he did a completely unprofessional job and even left behind evidence."

"Now that's great, the federal government has sent me irrefutable evidence, along with a joint letter from the speaker and members of parliament. I can't turn a blind eye to this anymore."

"Hmph, it's certainly wrong for Nicole Chaman to persecute the Yog family, but that traitorous federal spy is even more despicable!"

Isabel said indignantly, "Father, we can't just stand by and watch the Federation plant its spies in the kingdom!"

"A spy... I doubt it."

Charlie smiled and said, "I've already sent people to the Federation to investigate that viscount's background. Things might be much more interesting than we think."

"Huh?"

Seeing Isabel's confused look, Charlie prompted, "If Viscount Yog really were a Federation spy, would they be helping her so openly?"

"A joint letter, evidence—they're frantically implying that Viscount Yog is involved in something. What does this all mean?"

"Moreover,"

Charlie tapped the table with his finger unconsciously: "If Viscount Yog is really a spy, she's far too young."

"How can an eight-year-old girl be a spy?"

"Eight, eight years old?"

Isabel was taken aback. "Father, is she really capable of inheriting the Yog family business at such a young age?"

"Of course not. In fact, the current ruler of Yogtis is Nicol Chaman."

"Are the soldiers still loyal to her?"

"The Yog family has long since lost its private army."

"An ally of the Yog family..."

Who would help a viscount who only has the title?

"The Federation will secretly send troops to Sein?"

"I doubt they'd have the guts."

"..."

Isabel was silent for a moment, then said incredulously, "So, that little girl is definitely going to die?"

“That’s how it is normally, but the federal speaker and members of parliament aren’t stupid. I don’t think they would do something pointless.”

Charlie stroked his chin and said, "There's definitely something fishy going on here!"

He glanced at his daughter: "Isabel, if you were in my position, what would you do?"

"...First we need to figure out what's going on. We can deal with it slowly after the Seventh Agency has investigated it thoroughly."

"A very prudent approach."

Charlie first offered a compliment, then immediately added, "But what if the Seventh Agency finds nothing?"

"How come we can't find anything?"

Isabel shook her head; she had complete confidence in this violent apparatus.

“The Federation is not Thane’s territory. If those senators really try to hide things, it will be difficult for the Seventh Agency to find anything useful.”

"..."

After another moment of silence, Isabel hesitated before saying, "Then, shall we postpone this for now?"

"How many years has it been since there was a 'divine revenge' in Saen? I'm afraid it won't be long before this becomes the focus of conversation among the nobles."

"If this drags on, it may damage the royal family's image of fairness and impartiality."

"Father, what should we do?"

"Do it the way it should be done."

Charlie said calmly, "Let her take revenge if she wants to. In the meantime, we just need to keep a close eye on the Federation's movements."

"As for how this 'holy revenge' will ultimately end, let time tell."

After saying this, Charlie tossed aside the report about the Yogtis in front of him.

"If you are interested in this matter, you can look into it yourself. Your father will not devote any more attention to it for the time being."

"Ok."

Isabel nodded obediently, knowing that her father wouldn't care about such 'trivial matters' now.

The Duke of Boyle is the one Charlie Clay should really be worried about right now.

The people of Herder have been through quite a bit lately. First, the Yog family's daughter returned, and then Lord Nicole withdrew all the patrols and government officials.

Not long after, it was said that Miss Yog and Lord Nicole had signed some kind of agreement, and the patrols and government officials all returned.

However, the peaceful days didn't last long, and Mr. Nicole withdrew his men again!

This is serious! I heard that Miss Yog is going to have a duel with Lord Nicole, a life-or-death one!

To be honest, the people of Held Town didn't have much affection for this noble lady who had returned from the Federation.

Most people approach duels with a spectator's mentality.

But if you're going to have a duel, why make such a mess of the town?

Lord Nicole has withdrawn his men, and Miss Yog's two maids haven't stepped forward to take charge either. There's no one in charge of the town anymore. What are we going to do?

Just when everyone was filled with anxiety, a rumor further shattered the townspeople's mental defenses.

"A duel between nobles is not a one-on-one fight. In a few days, Lord Nicole will lead tens of thousands of elite troops to raze Herder to the ground!"

No one knows who spread these words, and no one has considered what benefit Nicole would gain from flattening Held, a town that would sooner or later become 'private property'.

Everyone was terrified!

Thus, a spectacular escape unfolded in the town of Herder.

People fled overnight with their families, and within a few days, the once bustling town became lifeless.

"Qiong, come give me a hand. Bubble's going into battle tomorrow, let's give her a big feast tonight!"

Zhenming was busy in the kitchen, and there was no sign of worry on her face.

"Sigh, the decisive battle is tomorrow, but we don't have a single soldier at our disposal."

Joan sighed, "Even the patrol team you painstakingly assembled has run away. Nobody has any faith in us anymore."

"Just let things take their course. Why are you worrying so much?"

"..."

Joan frowned and stared at Zhenming, asking, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I don't actually think highly of Bubble either."

"After seeing the final outcome of Bubble, I'm going back to my old profession," Makoto said calmly.

"To be honest, I've been away for too long this time. If I don't go back soon, I'll be in trouble."

QQ group: 943374150. Anyone interested in joining? (????)

Section 370, Chapter 369: Pointing to Emptiness

Seeing Qiong's pale face, Zhenming couldn't help but shake her head.

Both of them were 'spies' sent by the Federation to the little girl's side, but compared to himself, the one in front of him was clearly more emotionally invested in the target.

"Qiong, as someone who's been through this, I have some advice for you."

Zhenming said calmly, "We are only staying by the young lady's side because of that lord's orders. If you pour too much emotion into Bubble, you will only end up hurting yourself."

"Hmph, thank you for your kindness! But I'm not a cold-blooded animal like you. I can't just stand by and watch Bubble go to its death and do nothing!"

After saying this angrily, Qiong ran out of the kitchen.

"..."

"Sending out such an amateur spy, Your Excellency Gulian, what were you thinking?"

"Or is it that if you want to stay peacefully by the girl's side, you need her 'amateur' skills?"

After thinking for a while, Zhenming suddenly laughed.
