Princess' personal painter

"I don't know, this was done without telling him." Osmond explained, "He seems to have some agreement with that woman named Christine, and told me not to interfere in this matter. However, from some signs To judge, I suspect that the little duke was coerced by that woman, so he handed over the power to her in the first place."

"Collect incriminating evidence?" Sisyana frowned slightly, "Why are you so sure that there are incriminating evidence?"

Osmond pondered: "Using force to suppress the nobles, forming a party for personal gain, and seizing land... These are all known crimes, but the weight is far from enough. We need to investigate more favorable evidence so that she has no sophistry. space, so that she can be judged, this is the purpose of my summoning everyone here."

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Osmond spread out a map on the table, and then said: "There are three places that are most worthy of investigation. The first is the Eastern Wilderness where many strange accidents have occurred in recent years. I hope that Barlow will Chang and the 'Bard' can send a search team to investigate carefully to see if they can find any useful clues."

Then, he pointed to a valley in the north of Sayir: "This is the land Christine occupied three years ago. She built a large-scale manor on it, which accommodated many refugees and some of unknown origin. People, there must be some secrets hidden here. This matter needs to be handed over to Mr. Clown who is good at sneaking, and I also hope that Miss Adelaide will carefully investigate the transactions and expenses between the manor and the outside world."

Janet Adelaide nodded.

Glancing at the "clown" in the shadows suspiciously, Osmond continued: "Not far to the north of this manor is the old castle of the Neherbert family, but it is now occupied by Christine. All the people in the castle were replaced by her confidantes... This is the most dangerous place, I originally planned to investigate from the outside, but now I have a suitable candidate."

As he said that, he looked at the person who was undoubtedly the strongest among all the people present.

Sisyana nodded, and said with a confident smile: "I see, sneaking into the castle to investigate seems quite interesting."

"Then, I will trouble Her Royal Highness with this matter." Osmond said respectfully.

After assigning the task, Osmond briefly talked about some information that needs to be paid attention to, and gave some necessary instructions and reminders. This short combat meeting ended smoothly.

At the end, Osmond added: "With the strength of all of you, I believe that this operation will be successfully completed. However, Christine may be aware of our actions at any time, and I hope that when you investigate Proceed with caution, take care of your own safety, and avoid unnecessary casualties."

When he left the secret room, it was already dark outside.

Sayel at night is much more lively than expected, especially in this area where adventurers gather.There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the bars on both sides of the street, and the turbid smell of alcohol mixed with sweat wafted from all directions, and many scantily clad women could be seen standing on the street waiting for patrons.

I saw Janet Adelaide, who was walking in front with the "clown", turned around and said: "Some unpleasant things happened, please don't mind me, I will send her back first... I will have a chance later If so, I will definitely invite the two distinguished guests to my house, I wonder if I can enjoy this honor?"

While speaking, the second lady of the firm had the image of a well-educated and reasonable lady.

As far as this is concerned, Sisyana has a good impression of her, and nodded with a smile: "It's not impossible, but it's rare to get together tonight, so there's no need to be so anxious to go back?"

Janet couldn't help being taken aback, and asked carefully: "What do you mean?"

"It's all here, why don't we go have a drink!"

Sisyana's words did not seem to come from the mouth of a 16-year-old princess.Not only Janet who was puzzled at this time, but even Irene was stunned, tugged at her sleeve and asked, "That... my lord, you don't have a fever, do you?"

"Hey, what's wrong with drinking?"

"You're going to become an alcoholic! And..." Thinking of what happened when the two of them were "drunk" last time, Irene felt a little terrified, "If my lord becomes drunk again, I won't be able to stop you! "

"Guarantee, guarantee, no, yes, yes, la!"

Sisyana stretched out her hand and pinched Irene's nose, then looked at Janet opposite her, and the demon girl Luna Desmuela, who had removed her "clown" body, and said with a smile: "I'm very curious about the two of you, can you show me your face and have a drink with us?"

Chapter 15 Scarlet Moon's Dark Side "Luna"

In this gray world, there is a devil living deep in everyone's heart.

Perhaps the girl in front of her is the exception.

On a full moon night three years ago, Janet Adelaide, the second lady of the chamber of commerce, happened to meet a girl named "Luna Desmuela" when she was walking in the boundless yard of her home .

It seems that he has suffered a serious injury, and he is sitting by the water to wash the wound.

There is an unimaginably pure taste on the girl's body.

In the process of kindly helping the other party with treatment, Jennifer questioned her, and the girl told Jennet bluntly that she was the culprit "clown" who had just created several recent murders.

Janet naturally didn't believe it, so she just smiled and ignored it.

The two people with similar temperaments sat on the grass and chatted almost all night, and the bright full moon in mid-air quietly witnessed their friendship.

As the morning approached, the dewdrops among the flowers dripped lightly.

Luna told Janet that the monthly "breathing" time was about to pass, and she had to change back to the "clown" costume immediately.

So, Janet watched in amazement that Luna Desmira put on the "clown" body, and witnessed the whole process of her transformation from a pure girl to a killer walking in the dark—

Height, build, voice and tone of voice are all different.

Not only that, but even the temperament on her body and the way she looked at Janet became another person, as if she had never known her before.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" Janet asked in surprise.

"of course I remember."

After putting on the "clown" mask, the smirking face seemed to reveal a wordless sarcasm, "he" leaned over to Janet and said: "Second Miss Janet Adlai of Anhill Firm Dude, your hair smells so good, thank you for a wonderful evening with me!"

After speaking, the "clown" left her without any regrets.

Janet will never forget the sneering eyes and the flirtatious tone of "Joker" at that time.

In the following days, she decided to forget the "shame" she had received, and only when she had a strange dream and occasionally heard information about the "clown", she did not have any psychological fluctuations.Until another full moon night, she came to the back garden with a strange mood. At the same position, she saw Luna Desmuela again, who seemed to have washed away all the lead in the world.

Janet held back her anger and asked her, "Why are you here again?"

"You said last time that we are friends, and I can come whenever I want." The girl who took off the "clown" mask answered her in the purest voice, "You are my first friend."

Looking into the girl's sincere eyes, Janet remained silent for a long time.

The two finally met by virtue of this wonderful fate.

Therefore, during the full moon time when they can see each other once a month, every time Janet and Luna get along, they almost forget the existence of "Joker".

A few times I woke up and wanted to ask her about her identity and background, but she was coldly refused.

Just as Luna once said to Erin, Janet also heard similar warning words: "I can't lie to anyone when I take off the shell, but if you dare to ask one more question, I will definitely be with you in the future." I will never die, never break my promise... I have heard the reputation of 'clown', you should know that I am never soft on killing people."

This is the girl named Luna, the only serious thing ever said to her.

Even though she felt the fragility of the "friendship" between the two, Janet still had no intention of letting go, and carefully managed her relationship with Luna during the monthly meeting.

In the next few years, the "Joker" created several sensational assassinations one after another by virtue of his extremely arrogant attacking style. The reputation of "his" gradually spread, and his status also climbed step by step in two years. , has become a core figure in the League of Assassins to this day.

There were a few times, as the representative of Anhill Company, she had to deal with the "clown" several times under no choice. During that process, Janet fully felt the split between the two characters-the temperament seemed to be different. Cynicism is actually sensitive and suspicious, an out-and-out "clown" who often reveals many bad natures, and "Luna Desmuela" who is pure, sincere and lonely...

She could never connect the two roles played by the same person.

……

In this sinful world, the devil resides deep within everyone.

Perhaps, the girl in front of her is the only exception.

Because... she put on the mask of a clown, created a devil's body for herself, resisted the erosion of evil from the outside world, and maintained her pure and flawless image.

All of her crimes are on that sly and clown face.

Eileen couldn't help thinking as she stared blankly at Luna Desmuela who showed her true face.

In the separate compartment of the tavern, four people sat around the square table.When Janet told the past of the two, Luna pursed her lips without saying a word, and did not make any excuses.

Dual personality?It doesn't seem that simple...

While Erin was still in deep thought, she suddenly heard Sisyana next to her ask an obviously inappropriate question: "It's really a complicated relationship. How many people has the 'Joker' killed so far?"

Luna was taken aback for a moment, her face turned ugly, she lowered her head and replied, "Three people from 120, a total of [-] cases... Please don't ask me these questions!"

Janet, who was sitting next to Luna, became flustered.

As if from drinking, Sisyana's cheeks were flushed quite a bit, she shook the cup in her hand, and asked: "Now you, do you think what the 'clown' did was the right thing? ?”

"I……"

Luna's eyes widened for a moment, and her face turned pale. However, she still couldn't resist the "instinct" to tell, and replied with difficulty: "As a lost member of the demon clan, my family is in charge. It's 'true evil' and shouldn't have been suspected...but I'm... heinous, unforgivable."

After speaking, Luna's eyes were filled with tears, she clenched her fist and said, "If you insist on asking, 'Joker' will never let you go!"

"Oh? You can't even deal with my maid, but you can't deal with me!"

Those who dare to say such things to top assassins on the mainland probably won't exceed three digits, and Sisyana happens to be one of them.Seeming to be a little drunk, she smiled lightly and looked at Luna: "Are you going to threaten me with a 'clown'? Then just make you never go back, let me ask another question..."

"You!" Luna stood up in a panic, as if she wanted to escape from this embarrassing place.

"I'm just joking." Sisyana put down her wine glass, "It doesn't matter whether you are a demon or a 'clown' mask... No matter how evil you are, I have no right to judge you. I just learned about you, Suddenly feeling a little emotional. Maybe I have more blood on my hands than you."

After staring at Sisyana uneasily for a while, Luna sat back to her seat hesitantly.

Janet heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Please ask Her Royal Highness to keep it a secret for her. After all...'Joker' has made countless enemies for himself in the past few years."

Sincerely regards Luna as a friend, but hates "clowns" extremely in his heart.

In the evening, when I saw Erin breaking that disgusting body, I felt subtle gratitude and joy; but I had to defend Luna's other identity at this time... This inexplicable emotion, Even Janet herself couldn't figure it out.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of self-righteous person, after all, the 'clown' will be our companion next." Sisyana sighed, turned her head to glance at Erin, and said in a subtle tone, "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my naughty maid seems to be very interested in your friend, I wouldn't bother to ask those unnecessary questions."

As she spoke, she quietly put her hand on Irene's thigh, and squeezed it viciously.

Eh?Pain, pain, pain... Qian Ya obviously has no idea, so don't suddenly get jealous...

Chapter No.16 The Cloudy Castle

North of Isar, about half a day's journey away.

The housekeeper's manor was built in the middle of a valley below, occupying a rather large area.

Looking from a distance, it can be seen that the huge manor is divided into two distinct parts: the planting area and the residential area. The houses in the residential area are like houses, and the working people come and go, and everything looks orderly.

About three to four hundred people live in the estate, which is about the size of a small town.

Irene and Sisyana who came here, plus Luna Desmuela, a total of three people, observed the periphery for a while, but could not see any clues.

Sisyana looked up at the sky, and it was almost dusk. She said to Irene: "Be careful when you act. If you encounter danger, send me a message in the way I taught you before. How many of us The investigation time is one day, don't be too forceful."

"Yeah." Eileen nodded in response.

"I'm going to the castle." After a pause, Sisyana glanced at Luna again, her thoughts turned slightly, and she leaned into Erin's ear and whispered to her, "Hmph, I don't want to say What about these strange words... This girl's situation is very special, give me a little confidence, don't be fooled by her appearance..."

"Huh?" Erin was taken aback for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, Sisyana had already walked away in the direction of the Neherbert family's castle, leaving only Irene and Luna.Irene glanced at the girl in black robe a little embarrassedly, and asked in a low voice, "We're about to start taking action."

"Yeah." Luna replied softly.

"no problem?"

Glancing at Irene slightly annoyed, Luna said, "What kind of form I act in has no effect on my combat effectiveness. Besides, this time it's just a sneak investigation, no need to kill..."

Since the body of the "Joker" was damaged by Irene, it would take a lot of materials to restore it, and it would take a long time, so it was obviously too late.For some unknown reason, Luna did not want to give up this mission, and could only participate in the operation with her original face.

Erin accidentally asked one more question: "Is this the first time to act with the real face?"
