After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

During the few days he accompanied Selena shopping, he didn't do nothing.

On the contrary, he had already figured out the general layout of the royal capital, and naturally knew where his destination was in the West City District.

Finally, he arrived at Earl Patrick's residence, which was where he had decided to go last night.

A thief appeared in the mansion of the Earl of the Kingdom of Leiden at night. It was obvious what he was going to do.

This was the decision Murphy made after seeing the message that Filia wanted to convey to him brought back by the mouse, which should be called Bryce, last night.

In fact, he had not originally planned to come. After all, he and Filia were just somewhat familiar friends now, and he felt that he had no right to meddle in other people's affairs.

However, after seeing the information on the third piece of paper, he decided to come.

He wanted to find Filia, not for any other reason, but simply to ask her what she thought.

Murphy was hiding behind the moonlight, his hands grabbing the bumps on the wall, slowly climbing up step by step.

Patrick's residence is actually a tall tower with a large courtyard, although in reality, Patrick is under house arrest here.

But nominally he was only transferred here by Leyden XIII to handle affairs, and since he was still an earl, his residence naturally had to be in line with his status.

"What on earth are you talking about every day? You haven't changed at all. You're always the same woman who only knows how to force others."

When Murphy thought that he was not sleeping in a warm bed but was blowing in the night breeze on a high tower, he couldn't help but complain about the woman who made him suffer here.

He completely distanced himself from the matter, completely forgetting that it was he who decided to come here to suffer, not Filia who asked him to come.

With unremitting efforts, Murphy finally reached the top floor of the tower - outside the attic where Filia was.

He glanced down and knew that there should be quite a few people watching this place near the mansion. They might be the men of Leighton XIII, Patrick, or... sent by Old Jed.

But he was not worried, because even if he was really discovered by this group of people, it would not be difficult to escape.

And according to the report, Bryce was actually captured by Filia, not this group of people.

Therefore, with his current level of infiltration, it is not certain whether the group of guys who have been stalking him until late at night and are already exhausted can find him.

Murphy slowly turned her head and gently knocked on the window.

(Two more chapters to go)

Chapter 86 Sword and Dagger

Alas... Filia, lying on the bed with her eyes open, sighed deeply. She had forgotten how many times she had sighed today.

Ever since she followed the guards back to her home in the royal capital from Wilfred Castle, she had been locked up in the attic by her father, Patrick.

In fact, it is not quite appropriate to say that it is closed. After all, this attic was originally her room, but now she doesn't even have the right to come out of her room.

Of course, Filia knew why. After all, she had gone to Lars alone half a month ago without telling her family.

I think that in the eyes of her father, who has a strong desire for control and wants to control the development of everything, running away from home this time has undoubtedly touched his bottom line.

If it was before going to Lars, Filia, who had never duelled with Murphy, would have argued with her father about this matter.

Even though she knew that the current result was caused by her own willfulness, she would still not give up her freedom.

But she didn't do that this time, because before returning home, she had already made up her mind - to follow her father's arrangements.

The reason is simple: we can’t beat them.

As mentioned before, the Reinhardt family is a place where strength speaks, and Filia's father is now the strongest person in the entire family.

So she couldn't refuse her father's arrangement at all.

Alas... Filia sighed again. Even though her sigh was very small, it seemed a little loud in the quiet attic late at night.

This time she sighed for the guy who could defeat her head-on. She had something to say to that guy.

However, because Murphy did not go to Wilfred Castle, she was unable to say anything she had originally planned to say, and judging from the current situation, she would definitely not have any chance to say it in the short term.

Filia didn't know why Murphy hadn't gone to Wilfred Castle. Perhaps he'd heard from somewhere that his cousin, with whom he had a decent relationship, hadn't returned yet.

After all, old man Gerard must have his own intelligence network there, so it is not impossible for Murphy, as old Jed's disciple, to know all this.

But it’s okay, yesterday... no, now it should be said that it was the day before yesterday.

The night before yesterday, Filia caught a thief on the eaves, Bryce, and on Bryce's body, she found a special tattoo - two crossed daggers.

Filia knew who had this tattoo, and she even knew that the tattoo on this person was incomplete.

There should have been a sword inserted in the middle of this tattoo.

But after that incident, perhaps the double daggers without the sword is the emblem that the mice want.

Ten years ago, an earl's heir abandoned his wife and daughter, and went to Lars to become an adventurer, taking with him his brother, who was a few years older than him and served as his butler and the head of another viscount's family.

Eight years ago, after participating in the defense war of Lars, the Earl's heir, who saw through the corruption of the kingdom and the nobility, decided to give up his noble status together with the Viscount and established a small organization in Lars.

However, before the organization rose to prominence, the two brothers who grew up together had a conflict for some unknown reason, or it could be said to be a dispute over ideas.

In short, they had a fight, a life-and-death fight based on the rules of the Reinhard family's unique dueling style.

In the end, the Earl's heir won and the Viscount lost, a natural result.

The "victor" returned to his hometown and inherited the earl's title, leading his family out of the trough and trying to realize his ideals in his own way;

The "loser" gave up his viscount status and stayed in Lars, becoming the "King of Evil" in Lars' underground world, but also the last hero of the poor.

It was after the two men parted ways that the sword in the badge disappeared, leaving only the pair of daggers.

Later, even the pair of daggers disappeared, which means that this organization no longer had such a thing as an emblem.

This was requested by the Viscount, Gerard Kaliba himself.

He erased the existence of the badge, but did not specifically prohibit anyone in the organization from tattooing it on their bodies.

In addition, Old Jed did not give up this place like the earl's heir, Patrick Reinhardt. In order to thank him for his persistence, the first batch of mice chose to carve the pair of daggers on their bodies as a symbol.

In this way, this incomplete badge was preserved and passed down from generation to generation.

And some of the mice that came later, after hearing the stories of their predecessors, began to admire the "King of Evil" and chose to carve his weapons on themselves.

Logically speaking, this kind of secret is not something Filia could know, including the matter of the emblem.

After all, although she is the daughter of Patrick, one of the parties involved, she does not have a good relationship with her father.

However, contrary to what people believe, it is precisely because she has a bad relationship with her father that she knows these secrets.

Although the relationship between Filia and Patrick is indeed not good now, in fact, their relationship was not like this in the beginning:

Patrick, who had impulsively run off to Lars and had never returned for many years, had worked very hard to improve his relationship with his daughter and wife in the first year after returning home - that is, the time when he had not yet inherited the title of earl, in order to gain their forgiveness.

And it was he who told Filia these stories hidden behind the scenes at that time with the proud tone that was unique to a father.

After all, although he had just fought a life-and-death battle with Old Jed, he still believed at that time that he and Old Jed were only having a dispute over ideas, and they had not really fallen out.

In addition, even though he later gave up the organization because he thought it was not feasible, he still felt that what he and Old Jed were doing was a big thing.

That's why he told his daughter these things to show her his strength as a father.

It was for this reason that Filia knew the story of the organization and Old Jed, and also knew that the badge looked like a long sword inserted in a dagger.

"I don't know if that person can actually get the message to Murphy, and even if he does, will he really agree to help take care of Candice?"

"After all, I'm the one who owes him a favor, right?"

Alas... Filia slowly closed her eyes and sighed again.

This was the second sigh she let out for Murphy after she went to bed tonight.

Chapter 87 The guy who shouldn't be here

Lying on the bed, Filia recalled the news she had heard from the few servants in the house yesterday - her marriage had been arranged by her father, and the object seemed to be the young master of another earl's family.

I forgot his name, but he seemed to be a guy who couldn't use a sword... Filia curled her lips.

Even though I knew that my father's change would sooner or later lead to an unwanted marriage.

But she was still not satisfied with her future life, which was to marry and have children with a man she had only met once at a party when she was a child, inherit the family, and then spend a meaningless life under the control of her father.

She didn't know what her father was thinking, but if he hadn't just returned home and hadn't inherited the family yet, he would never have found such a guy for her to marry.

Speaking of which, when did my father start to change?

"Oh! That's amazing! I didn't expect Filia to have become so powerful!"

"Let's duel, Filia! I'll show you your father's strength!"

"Haha! That was a beautiful strike! Don't be discouraged. If you were a little older and a little stronger, I wouldn't even be able to defend against that strike. You're only 11 years old now, so you have plenty of time to spare."

"Filia! You are incredibly talented. Your future achievements in swordsmanship will definitely not be lower than mine! So, you must never abandon your sword... Well, that's impossible, considering you love swords so much. Don't worry, Dad will always support you."

"What! You want to marry my Filia?! That depends on how good that brat is. Anyone who can't beat me can get out! Humph! Even if they can beat me, it won't work!"

"..."

Filia suddenly laughed out loud.

She thought of her father who had always praised her and taught her swordsmanship;

She recalled the father who used to have a face full of rage and beat up her future husband over and over again in her mind;

Reminded me of the past...

Because his father had just left his adventurer's identity and returned to the family, his words and deeds were more like those of a gangster than a noble.

As for this father who spoke a little rudely and didn't know how to hide his thoughts, Filia felt that he was the best.

But now that I think about it, it seems like fathers like that existed a long, long time ago.

As for him now...Filia no longer even holds out hope.

Because this father, who has been completely corrupted by power and status, will probably never be able to go back to the past.

He forgot his promise and stopped forcing himself to practice sword skills. Instead, he asked himself to learn knowledge and etiquette that he had never liked.

He also forgot his requirements for his future son-in-law and his rejection of the idea that Filia would get married in the future.

In fact, Filia rarely thought about what kind of person her future husband would be, but she thought that at least he should be better than herself in swordsmanship.

Since she decided to come back to inherit the family and follow her father's arrangements, her standards for her marriage partner have been lowered a lot.

As long as you have a kind heart and decent swordsmanship, that's enough.

But now the marriage partner my father arranged for me doesn't even know how to use a sword. Compared to that guy, he is far inferior.

Huh? Why am I thinking of him here...

Filia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the guy would appear in her mind at this moment.

It's not the fiancé whose name and appearance are unknown, nor is it the father who has completely changed his appearance.

But it was Murphy, the guy whose name he didn't even know before.

She wanted to think about why Murphy appeared in her mind at this time, but she couldn't.

Because at this moment, a rhythmic, dull sound suddenly rang out in the room. It was a special "dong dong" sound.

Lying on the bed, Filia was still thinking about Murphy, and her brain seemed to stop for a second, but her fighting instinct cultivated through long-term training still made her flip over from the bed and move to the head of the bed.

There should have been a sword leaning against it, the sword she always used.

But she got nothing, because there was nothing there now. Her sword had been taken away by her father the day she returned home.

Instead, there are books that give you a headache just by reading them.

But it’s okay, Filia has reacted now. The "dong dong" sound seems to be someone knocking on the window.

She squatted under the bed, slowly raised her head a little, leaving only her eyes exposed, and then saw a blurry figure outside the window.

The moon was covered by dark clouds and no longer emitted any light. The figure was also completely hidden in the darkness. Filia could only see a rough outline.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if trying to penetrate the darkness with her sharp silver gaze.

While she was trying to identify the person's appearance in the darkness, she heard a voice and words that sounded familiar yet unfamiliar to her.

"Hey, Filia, you're such an arrogant idiot who only knows how to order people around. How come you've suddenly become a caged bird that dares not fly out?"

This is a sentence with a strong personal style.

From childhood to adulthood, Filia had never heard anyone say such frivolous words or disrespectful remarks to her.

Because they didn't dare; because they were afraid of being punished; because they were the daughters of the Reinhardt family.

No one dared to do this, except for the exception he met not long ago.

The dark clouds moved slowly with the night wind, and the full moon took the opportunity to emerge from the clouds, releasing all its previous depression.
