After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Selena's tone was not as cute as before, but cold, as she rationally explained the information she knew.

But it may be that Murphy was overthinking it. After all, the words he wrote were cold.

And he wasn't concerned about Kelsen's political acumen; it had nothing to do with him: "So he can't use a sword?"

Selena started writing and drawing again: "That's not the case. After all, he is also a nobleman. He should know swordsmanship, but he is definitely not as good as you, Brother Murphy."

She didn't know that Murphy's current strength was different from before, so this made Murphy feel even more confused.

"Even my previous swordsmanship level is not as good as it used to be... What's going on with Filia?" Murphy frowned and thought to himself.

'......No.'

"Perhaps there are some things she can't decide on her own, such as—"

Murphy seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Selena again: "Did Patrick propose this engagement to the Earl of the Ashburn family?"

This time, Selena didn't write in the notebook, but nodded to Murphy first, but then she continued to shake her head.

Murphy didn't understand what she meant. Although Selena had already started writing in the notebook when she shook her head, he still couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

By this time, Selena had finished writing everything.

"Yesterday at noon, Earl Harrison Ashburn secretly visited Earl Patrick's residence. Our people did not hear the specific content."

"But the night before Lord Harrison's secret visit, Kelson Ashburn complained to his friends at the Field Hotel that his father was planning to arrange an unwanted marriage for him."

"Our people also went to confirm this matter. Earl Patrick did agree to this marriage. Filia Reinhardt didn't seem to show any dissatisfaction. She just stayed in her room the whole time."

This is what Selena had just written in the notebook. Murphy read it bit by bit with a frown on her face.

When he saw the end, he couldn't even control his expression, and looked up at Selena with a serious expression.

Because at the end of that page, Selena wrote two words: "And".

But she crossed out these two words again, which is why Murphy looked up at her.

"What else?" Murphy's tone was not very good, just like his mood at the moment, but even he himself did not notice this, and he didn't know why.

Logically speaking, no matter where Filia's life will end, he should not take the initiative to interfere in other people's lives.

After all, he and Filia can only be considered as friends with a good relationship, at least that's the case from Filia's side.

But when Murphy learned that Filia was engaged, he inevitably felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was simply because Filia's fiancé, Kelson Ashburn, was someone who could not surpass her in swordsmanship, or even surpass the weak Murphy before.

Chapter 84 Three Pieces of Paper

Filia's fiancé, Kelson Ashburn, is very bad at swordsmanship, which is completely different from the mate selection criteria that Filia told Murphy.

Perhaps it was because of this that Murphy felt uncomfortable, at least that's what he thought.

This reason is of course not valid according to common sense, but this is exactly what Murphy thought. He felt that Filia should not have such an ending.

Maybe it was because Murphy's expression had always been very gentle, so his serious expression just now seemed too "ferocious", and Selena was actually frightened by him for a moment.

But she soon came to her senses and realized that Murphy was not in a good mood.

Although she didn't know the specific reason why Murphy was in a bad mood, she thought it might have something to do with what she had just said.

Murphy also realized that his attitude just now was not very good, so he changed to the gentle tone he used to treat Selena before and asked the question again:

"I noticed you crossed out the word 'and' at the end. Do you have anything else to say?"

At the same time, he was reflecting in his heart, reminding himself not to scare Selena.

This time Selena was not scared. She hesitated for a moment, looking at Murphy with a familiar gentle smile on her face, and then nodded at him.

However, Selena did not take the notebook he handed over, but ran out of the room, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Could it be that this was also the reason why Filia and Patrick dueled in their previous life?"

"No...it seems like Harrison was the one who approached Patrick about the engagement. It shouldn't be..."

"It seems there's something else going on here, but it's not hard to guess. Patrick is probably powerless to resist the pressure from Leyden XIII, and has no choice but to sacrifice his daughter's future happiness and ally with the Ashburn family."

Murphy watched Selena leave the room, and began to frown and think about Filia again.

Perhaps because they were teammates and had been taught by Filia, his feelings towards Patrick had plummeted.

You know, in the beginning he was a little impressed by Patrick's ability to slowly pull the Reinhardt family back on track. At least as an old noble family, their family is not as poor as before.

But now... forget it, he's just a guy who used his daughter as a tool for marriage due to pressure.

Although Murphy could understand that in this era, the nobles used marriage as a means to consolidate their status.

But he couldn't accept it. What he hated most was things like arranged marriages, especially when the "victim" of the marriage was his own... a friend, so to speak.

As for Selena, since she had just nodded to him, it meant that she had to leave the room to do something, so Murphy did not ask her what she was going to do.

Sure enough, Murphy didn't have to wait long before Selena returned to the room.

And in his hand, he was holding three pieces of paper.

Murphy knew what it was. It was the intelligence and information that the rats passed on to their superiors, although he had not looked at it before for his own reasons.

After all, the information was sent to Selena, the head of the Royal Capital Slums branch, not to an ordinary member of his organization.

But now he still felt that he needed to take a look, and since it was brought by Selena, and since it had been approved by the person in charge, it would be okay to take a look at it.

Selena handed all three pieces of paper to Murphy, then she snuggled into his arms and sat on his lap.

She was acting like a spoiled brat because she had just been frightened.

Murphy also understood what she meant. He reached out one hand and touched Selena's head, and with the other hand he raised the paper and began to read it with her.

————, Kelson Ashburn dined at the Field Hotel tonight. After drinking, he complained to his friends that his father was going to arrange a marriage for him, and claimed that he would make the person he was engaged to regret getting engaged to him.

————, Harrison Ashburn secretly visited Patrick Reinhardt's residence at noon today. The specific reason and content of the conversation are unknown.

This is the content of the first two pieces of paper out of the three pieces of paper Selena just took.

The information that Mouse reported about the Reinhardt family was basically the same as what Selena had just said, except for the point that Kelson claimed he wanted to make Filia regret it.

In addition to this, the two mice actually reported some information about other things, but Murphy didn't care too much about it. He just glanced at it and put it behind his mind. That was not his concern.

Because there was not much key information on the two papers, and they were all reasons that Murphy already knew, he finished reading them quickly.

Then he took out the third piece of paper Selena gave him.

He looked at the paper for a long time, especially the last few words, because that was the part after the word "and" that Selena had crossed out before.

-------------------------------------

————, according to Bryce's investigation, Harrison Ashburn visited Patrick Reinhardt yesterday afternoon in order to propose marriage to him, and Patrick Reinhardt finally agreed to Harrison Ashburn's proposal.

Philia Reinhardt, confined to the penthouse by Patrick Reinhardt, showed no displeasure or anger upon learning of the engagement.

Bryce's mission went terribly wrong: he was discovered by Filia Reinhardt while exploring outside the attic, and was captured on the roof as he was about to escape.

However, Filia Reinhardt did not kill Bryce directly or send him to the Royal Capital Knights, but instead asked him to bring back a message.

The content is: Let Murphy take good care of Candice, otherwise I will kill him sooner or later.

The credibility of this news remains to be verified.

Bryce has currently received the prescribed punishment and is currently under interrogation. The interrogation team is trying to determine whether he has betrayed or disclosed any information about the organization, as well as the credibility of the information.

-------------------------------------

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, gently placed the paper in her hand on the table, and looked down at Selena: "Why didn't you tell me this news?"

His tone was gentle and his hands never stopped caressing me.

And his expression, although Selena, who was sitting in his arms with her back to him, couldn't see it, there was actually nothing wrong with it, he was very calm.

At this moment, Murphy's heart was indeed more or less fluctuating, but he still reminded himself not to scare Selena.

However, even though he was very careful about his attitude, he still felt the little deer hiding in his arms tremble slightly.

-------------------------------------

The result of going to the hospital today was not very optimistic, and the author was hospitalized.

Typing on the phone is a bit slow, so I can only finish one chapter for now. I will try my best to finish the remaining chapter tonight.

Sorry.

Chapter 85 Murphy is a thief

"I don't mean to blame you." Murphy felt the trembling of the little deer in her arms and gently stroked its hair.

Sure enough, under his gentle comfort, Selena gradually stopped trembling.

But she still didn't look back at Murphy, but sat directly in his arms and began to write on the table.

The pen rubbed against the paper, making a rustling sound, gentle yet somewhat urgent.

Selena wrote a lot, but she wrote very quickly. She was eager to explain to Murphy, but Murphy was not anxious. She just stroked her hair as before.

Soon after, Selena finished writing. She handed the notebook to Murphy, then hugged her legs and curled up in his arms.

Perhaps because she was too anxious, Selena's originally beautiful handwriting became much more sloppy, but it was not ugly.

Selena wrote a lot, but in fact she wanted to make one point, which was: "I didn't mean to hide it from Brother Murphy. I just wanted to wait until they confirmed it before telling you."

"Oh, I see." Murphy simply responded without saying much.

And in Selena's eyes, this look was a sign of anger.

But just when she was about to take the notebook and continue writing, Murphy picked her up, walked step by step to the bed and put her down.

Murphy looked at Selena who was lying on the bed and staring at her. She leaned over and gently touched her forehead: "It's time to go to bed. Good night, Selena."

Without waiting for Selena to respond, he turned around, blew out the candle on the table, and walked back to the makeshift bed he had set up on the ground.

He took off his armor and lay down on it, facing the bed. Because his vision was blocked by the edge of the bed, he could not see what was on the bed while lying on the ground.

Most people in this world cannot afford magic lamps, and some cannot even afford candles.

This dilapidated house located in the slums of the royal capital became dark after losing its only source of light, the candle.

And in this darkness, only two pairs of eyes were still faintly glowing.

One pair on top and one pair on the bottom.

I don’t know how many thoughts are tangled in my mind tonight.

-------------------------------------

The next day at noon, Murphy went to the royal capital with Selena, who had been comforted by him for the whole morning and was no longer afraid.

The security guard job seems to be a shift-based job, because today's security guard is the same one that Murphy met when she first came to the royal capital.

But this time, looking at the "master and servant" pair who left a deep impression on him, the security guard let them in without even questioning them.

Although he had doubts about why these two people entered the royal capital for the second time, he always believed in "less trouble is worse than more" and eventually dispelled his doubts.

Maybe Old Jed was right. The current Kingdom of Leiden is completely rotten. From the nobles to the soldiers, there is no place that is not rotten.

Like the previous two times, Murphy took Selena to stroll around the royal capital until night.

Then it was the same as usual, a double room, but he changed the hotel.

Late at night, in the hotel room with only faint moonlight, Murphy climbed out of bed quietly.

He didn't make any sound at all without his armor late at night, which also ensured that he would not wake up Selena who was sleeping soundly in the other bed.

This is Murphy's cultivation as a thief and also his basic skills.

He walked to the bed and listened quietly to Selena's steady breathing, making sure she was still asleep.

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, opened the window and climbed out, but what he didn't notice was the pair of eyes slowly opening in the room behind him.

-------------------------------------

Murphy walked along the main road of the royal capital late at night, occasionally hiding in the shadows of the houses on the roadside to avoid the knights who were still diligently patrolling even at this time.

Since he was wearing casual clothes instead of the black clothes that could better conceal himself, Murphy could only rely on more careful observation and longer hiding time to ensure that he was not discovered.

The reason why he didn't wear black clothes was very simple. He didn't bring it with him, nor did he ask Selena for it.

He went around and around like this, moving slowly but steadily towards his destination.
