The cold voice was like piercing ice, sweeping through Maureen.
"When you said you wanted to get rid of me, you didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, did you?"
"His Majesty......"
"Do you think you are still qualified to call me Your Majesty?"
"..."
"I was about to give birth, and that was the birth of a new life of the Silver Dragon clan, but you betrayed the enemy at this time. Do you know, Maureen, if it weren't for my husband, you would not only kill me and my daughter, but also thousands of fellow Silver Dragons."
Simply put, the reason why Rossweisse felt angry was indeed because of these two points.
First, because of the problem of reproduction, not only for silver dragons, but also for the entire dragon race, the birth of a new life is worthy of attention, especially in the case of live birth, which is of utmost importance;
Second, Maureen's collaboration with the enemy would cause large-scale deaths of fellow silver dragons.
Constantine's strength is obvious to all. Anna can be said to be a strong man below the Dragon King level, but she is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Constantine.
So what Rossweisse said was not an exaggeration at all. If there had been no Leon at that time, there would be no Silver Dragon Clan now.
Of course, Rossweisse knew in her heart that there was not much connection between Leon's action and the safety of the Silver Dragon Clan.
He chose to help in order to protect his daughters and...her.
Well, let's discuss this matter later. The most urgent task now is to deal with this traitor in front of us.
"I won't deal with you immediately, Maureen. Do you have any information that I don't know but want to tell me now?" Rossweisse asked.
Maureen clenched her fists, feeling the warmth of Rossweisse's fingertips, and mustered up the courage to look her in the eye.
"I don't have anything to tell you, and neither does Shirley."
Hearing this, Rossweisse was startled, and then she sneered.
Maureen was confused by this laugh.
Laughing...at what?
"My husband told me that you can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. This girl who looks ordinary and well-behaved is actually scheming."
Luo Siwei ⑥ Ling ⑵ II Delete Four ⒏ VIII Shise said, "At this point, you are still thinking about dragging your friend Shirley into the water, Maureen."
"Shirley too", these five simple words exposed the dirty heart beneath Maureen's harmless appearance.
From her perspective, Shirley was very kind to her. After all, she wanted to take her with her when she escaped. Although she was caught, even if she didn't escape, Maureen would probably not be able to escape the internal investigation after tonight.
However, she tried to drag Shirley into the water during the final confrontation, not giving Shirley any chance to "redeem herself for her crime".
Did she think Rossweisse couldn't hear it or something?
Never mind.
Because - Seven
"If you look back now, you will find that your sister Shirley is not kneeling here like you.")
"W-what..."
Maureen looked back and was surprised to find that Shirley was still standing there, staring at her indifferently.
"Shirley, you! - You lied to me?!" After a brief moment of shock, Maureen questioned Shirley angrily.
"A rebel has the nerve to be angry because of someone else's deception." Shirley replied calmly.
"You..." I
Maureen wanted to denounce these people for being shameless and despicable.
But such words should not be said by a traitor like her.
It's simply the opposite of Tian Gang.
But someone spoke for her.
Then she heard the voice of the queen's husband coming from behind the tree.
The black-haired man with a strange figure came out from behind the tree and said slowly,
"You may think that our sting operation is immoral or even shameless, but this is not in accordance with the law. As long as we can catch a traitor like you, what does it matter if we use the most unscrupulous means?"
Mr. Casmode has understood the essence of this sentence: what kind of means should be chosen according to the situation?
He is not a policeman, and he does not need an arrest warrant to catch a murderer.
Similarly, there is no need to follow the process of 'clues → evidence → inference → confirm identity' to catch an undercover agent.
To put it bluntly, no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
"But how do you know it was me..." Maureen asked a question that all undercover agents and traitors in the world would ask when they are discovered.
Leon was very familiar with this sentence.
Because Victor asked similar questions when he was exposed.
But he was willing to give this traitorous lady a brief explanation,
"Remember your queen—tsk."
He paused, feeling that this sentence was not right, so he immediately changed his words.
"Remember the day my wife gave birth, you came to the bedroom and told me to escape from a certain road in the back mountain, which was safe, but I just used the birthday blessing magic circle at that time to casually test it, and it led to the Red Flame Dragon ambushing on that road?"
Maureen's thoughts went back to that day.
Before launching the attack, she did receive instructions from Constantine to lead Rossweisse to the road behind the mountain.
She did carry out the order step by step.
But what she didn't expect was that this prince who seemed to only know how to take care of the baby actually knew how to lead troops in battle. While being cautious, he also noticed Maureen's abnormality...
"So... is that so..."
"Of course, this alone cannot make us 100% sure that you are a traitor," Leon said.
"So, when did you decide that I...was a traitor?"
Leon pretended to be in deep thought, then replied seriously, "Ten minutes ago."
"Ten minutes ago..." Maureen felt that her IQ was greatly insulted.
This is how fishing enforcement works.
After all, the other party does not need to follow the so-called "rules and procedures" at all.
And Leon is not just a simple sting operation, he is always bold and cautious in his actions.
I deliberately chose to let Shirley go fishing late at night. In this way, even if Maureen is not the traitor, it will not alert the real traitor and arouse suspicion.
But now it seems that General Lai's judgment was very accurate.
Rossweisse let her go, then stood up and looked down at her.
"I'm not interested in the reasons why you betrayed me. Because my husband told me that the moment the betrayer made a choice, all the reasons were meaningless. Of course, I also think his other words make sense."
"Those who rebel must not be allowed to stay."
Rossweisse glanced at the head maid.
"Anna, put her in the dungeon and deal with her another day."
Chapter 210: 18 Shut up, prison is not a place for you to show off your affection
In the dungeon, the maid Maureen—oh no, now she should be called the traitor Maureen—was being locked to a rack with magic-suppressing chains.
Suddenly, crisp footsteps were heard outside the cell.
The sound of high heels tapping on the cold floor tiles echoed in the dark and damp iron cage.
"Squeak-"
The cell door was opened, and Maureen could only vaguely hear the familiar and majestic voice giving orders to the jailer guarding her.
"You guys go and wait outside first. The prince and I want to interrogate her personally."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The jailer said this and threw the bloodstained whip in his hand aside, as if it was a veiled hint that they had not completed their work.
Leon's gaze lingered on the whip, which was covered in blood and outlined the wailing sounds that had once echoed in the dungeon.
Looking up at Maureen again, the once loyal servant now looked like a statue in ruins, once glorious, but now only traces of erosion by wind and rain remain. The messy hair scattered around her cheeks, the cold stone frame as the background, together formed a picture of a traitor.
Rebels, no matter who they are or what race they are, will not be tolerated.
These rebels, wearing the skins of their own people but carrying cold and sharp blades, perhaps never truly realized the devastating consequences of the secrets they exchanged in the dark.
Those silent acts of betrayal can often take the lives of countless innocent people in an instant, and even destroy a once peaceful home.
Leon had experienced betrayal and witnessed the losses that resulted from it.
So now he has no sympathy for traitors, undercover agents or moles.
Oh, of course, sympathy only means trying to understand the traitors' motivations for betraying, not intending to show leniency to them.
This change in mentality was thanks to Victor. After learning about his motive for betrayal, Leon felt that asking such questions was a waste of time.
That's why he told Rossweisse before the sting operation against Maureen that there was no need to understand the traitor's motives.
Well, it seems that his fake wife did listen to his words.
"You ask, or should I?"
Rossweisse's voice interrupted Leon's thoughts.
Leon regained his composure, leaned against the table, and held his chest with his hands, "Come on."
"Why? This is obviously your own business." Although she said she was not happy, Rossweisse did not show a clear rejection.
Leon smiled and said, “You are an official, so you are better at this kind of thing than me.”
Rossweisse gave him a speechless look and said, "Then you should study hard and learn everything except fighting."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm learning. Hurry up and start showing me, Teacher Melkvi."
(Shut up, prison is not the place for you to show off your affection!)
Rossweisse slowly turned her head and looked up at Maureen on the iron frame.
"What tasks did Constantine give you?"
The answer she got was the sound of Maureen's weak breathing.
"Besides reporting my exact date of delivery, what other instructions did he give you?"
The lifeless rebel still kept his head down and made no response.
"Maureen, Constantine is dead. You don't have to remain loyal to him. Tell me what I want to know, and I will let you leave this world happily."
“Hoo…Hoo…”
After several rounds of threats and questioning, Maureen remained silent.
Just as Rossweisse was about to speak again, she heard stifled laughter coming from behind her.
She slowly half turned her head and stared at Leon with her silver eyes, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing... just thinking of something happy."
"What's the happy thing?"
"I am learning interrogation techniques from the Silver Dragon Queen, but after interrogating for a long time, the other party didn't say a word. What a top-notch technique, Your Majesty."
Rossweisse rolled her eyes at him and didn't argue with him. She just replied calmly, "Idiot, open your eyes and watch carefully."
After saying that, Rossweisse walked forward, raised her hand and gently pressed her palm on Maureen's forehead.
Then, a faint silver light flickered and transformed into countless streams of water-like substances, which began to flow into Maureen's head along the blood vessels under her skin.
Leon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked carefully, only to find that what was occupied by Rossweisse's magic power was not a blood vessel, but Maureen's magic circuit.
As her own magic circuits were invaded by external magic power, Maureen's body began to show resistance.
But her hands and feet were bound by magic-proof chains, so she could only tremble and growl.
There is no doubt that this process is somewhat painful, but it should not be fatal.
Leon believed that Rossweisse had a plan.
