After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

In response to this, Aize could only quickly shake his head.

"...No, that's fine."

This guy, everything else can be joked about, but anything related to blood must be taken seriously.

Otherwise, it would be no different from saying "come and fuck me" to a succubus, and she would definitely take it seriously.

"What a shame~ Then I'll sue..."

"Wait, where are you staying in the capital? If you have to come to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to contact you if there's something urgent."

This was a topic that I wanted to clarify last time, but Charlotte ran away halfway because of her own defense, so I am still confused about it now.

Charlotte was halfway out the door when she heard Aize's words and then she looked back.

"No. 14 Oak Street. I've asked everything. If you have time, remember to come see me. I will love you well. Bye."

After saying this, he disappeared from sight.

Aize was left with a chill and goose bumps all over his body.

I felt a real, appetite-like emotion in it.

and--

"14 Oak Street, this address seems... isn't that a luxury residential area?!"

In the layout of the royal capital, the traditional aristocracy occupied the area around the palace closest to the center of power.

Emerging forces, such as wealthy businessmen, live in these emerging upper-class areas.

Did this guy occupy the house of some wealthy man after he ran away?

As expected of the next True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, he not only steals but also shows off.

...No, it doesn't matter now.

Aize sighed softly and waved at Hecate.

"It's getting late, you should go and rest first."

"how about you?"

"Me? I have some things to do."

All the information just now made Aize think of one thing.

The disappearance of the blood of the previous generation of True Ancestor happened within only two months. Considering the combination and development, the time for this vampire assassin to be transformed will not be too far away.

If she really was once an adventurer, then even if her personal identity file was erased, investigating recent records of Red Claw Wolf-related expeditions, injuries, treatments, etc., might reveal some missing information.

In other words, I have to go through that mountain of paper again.

He didn't know how much longer it would take, and there was certainly no need for Hecate to continue to accompany him.

"reject."

As a result, the half-blood succubus rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"The palace's current security allows that vampire lady to come and go freely, which of course also allows assassins to come and go freely. If something happens to the new boss before the contract is even signed, I can't accept it."

I mean this seriously.

Besides this, Hecate gradually became interested and wanted to know more about Aize.

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Aize didn't know what to say. He could only nod and let her go.

So, they covered the dead body with the white cloth again, left the workshop, and went back into the study.

----------

The regent of the Kingdom of Arte, Arthur Arte, is now extremely irritable.

About two hours ago, due to a conflict with Aize, he was directly dismissed by his own princess who intervened and left his original position in an extremely embarrassed manner.

From Heidi's perspective, this was both a punishment and a protection for her uncle.

Arthur, who is also a veteran, is naturally well aware of this.

Therefore, even in the current situation, he has no resentment towards Heidi.

On the other hand, the resentment towards Aize is doubled.

After being kicked out of his office, he did not go back to rest.

Instead, he left the palace directly and went to a secret meeting room.

It should be said that he is lucky.

Because the dismissal was quite sudden, Aize did not arrange for anyone to follow him in advance, otherwise the situation now might not be as smooth as he expected.

But anyway, the meeting began without Aize's direct notice.

In addition to Arthur, there were three high-ranking officials from the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild present.

Boom! ! !

Before he could say a word, or even wait for the other party to greet him, Arthur took the initiative and pounded the table in front of him with extreme anger.

He shouted in a voice that was almost a roar:

"A few days ago, I asked you to teach that bastard Aize a lesson. So many days have passed, why is he still full of energy? What the hell are you bunch of losers doing!?"

As mentioned earlier, although Arthur's title as regent is impressive, his actual position is quite embarrassing.

After Heidi grew up rapidly and basically took control of power, he, as the regent, could hardly control any violent organization in the royal capital, from the Knights to the Guards.

Therefore, in order to be able to do something when necessary, he chose to collude deeply with the Adventurer's Guild.

By binding a series of interests within their own capabilities, they exchanged the other party's armed forces for their own use.

A few days ago, after noticing Heidi's psychological changes and identifying Aize as the reason, Arthur almost immediately asked the guild to take action.

The so-called action is to teach him a little lesson.

For example, breaking half of his bones, or crushing a few organs.

In short, we should make him give up when he sees the difficulty, make him unable to deal with the affairs related to the royal capital, and then pack up and leave.

In Arthur's opinion, this task should not be difficult.

After all, it is well known that the hero Aize has a little cleverness in his brain, but his combat ability is completely defective.

Since his former teammates were no longer around, there was naturally nothing left for him to be afraid of.

However, even so, the guild still delayed taking action, and Arthur suffered the most first.

Naturally, I felt extremely bad.

As for his anger, the three guild leaders present all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"But Your Highness, Aize has been investigating us recently..."

"Yeah, I don't know where the flaw was revealed. Anyway, we'd better be careful these days."

"Besides, no matter how weak he is, he is still a hero. It's too difficult to deal with him without leaving any traces, especially in the royal capital. There's no chance of doing it."

Boom! ! !

Such an explanation obviously could not satisfy Arthur.

Instead, it made his expression even more ferocious:

"It's so difficult. The reason you commoners can take our money and even have a seat at our banquet is because you can handle these difficult matters. Otherwise, what use would you have!?"

These words instantly made the faces of the three senior executives turn extremely ugly.

But I didn't dare to get angry.

But Arthur still persisted:

"Besides, isn't the investigation already over? Didn't I teach you everything? If he wants to investigate, just give him all the evidence and let him investigate to his heart's content! Look, a few days have passed, has he found anything?!"

In the eyes of the top management, that is indeed not the case.

Although they were talked to one by one, as long as everyone was colluding with each other, no one should reveal any flaws.

But having said that, the name of Brave Aize still has some deterrent power.

The guild's top brass didn't dare act rashly, as being caught in the middle was of course extremely uncomfortable.

After Arthur finished his round of cursing, the room fell into a brief silence that lasted for several minutes.

Then, one of them bravely raised his head:

"Regent, with all due respect, we are now proceeding according to plan. If anything unexpected were to happen..."

"According to plan? You call this following a plan!?"

Arthur couldn't hold it anymore.

"The princess has become like that, and you're still asking us to follow the plan? How are we going to explain this to you if we just wait for the plan to be completed? Go and deal with him, use all the means at your disposal, now, immediately, right now!!!"

Mentally retarded parties exist in every corner of the world.

The guild, like the office workers in Aize's hometown, is helpless in the face of such a partner.

After another round of looking at each other in confusion, they could only nod reluctantly.

Seeing this, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed again.

This is right.

You are just a commoner in another world. Just do your job within the given framework. Do you really want to make a big fuss?

There's a price to pay.

"Just wait, the end of the brave Aize is coming, hahahahaha~"

Facing the frowning senior executives, Arthur smiled to himself.

Chapter 79 Who is the Signature

"Hmm... well—that's about right."

After several hours of continuous work, Heidi put down the pen in her hand, exhaled a little tiredly, and gently moved her neck.

Heidi has completed the improvement plan proposed by Aize regarding refugee resettlement-related matters.

Looking back, it has been a long time since I handled government affairs like this since I became a hero.

feel good.

Even if we put aside the fact that he helped Aize, being able to do something that benefits the people in the territory is more satisfying than constantly engaging in intrigues with the nobles.

Next, just stamp it, sign it, send it out and arrange for someone to complete it.

So, Heidi habitually picked up the seal engraved with the royal emblem.

Just as he was about to press it up, he suddenly stopped, and the seal was fixed just a few centimeters away from the paper, without being pressed down.

Because she thought of a question - is this really a good thing?

Regardless of its cause or outcome, this blood plague that occurred in the royal capital is destined to leave an important mark in the future history of mankind.

And in such a disaster, acts of kindness towards civilians will most likely become stories that will be passed down from generation to generation.

In this case, are I, or the royal family, really qualified to issue such an order?

After all, from the moment the problem was discovered, the general idea, and the opportunity to solve it all came from Aize. What right did a middleman like me have to claim it as my own?

If future generations want to praise someone, it should be him, not me.

Thinking of this, Heidi's small body couldn't help but tremble.

When she was in the team, she often took credit for what Aize did as a means of bragging and showing off her so-called royal duties.

And she had just unconsciously almost repeated the same mistake, and the mere realization of this made her want to vomit.

The so-called habit is really a terrible thing.

In short, this order must be issued in the name of Aize.

After all, this is the first time I've done this.

Before actually sending it out, it is best to have him review it again to make sure there are no omissions or inadequacies.
