After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"..."

"Besides, he's a hero after all. Taking this opportunity to let the church replenish our combat power is his last contribution to us before leaving the team. What's the matter... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Heidi didn't react as if she was frozen in time, Leah stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Unexpectedly, with just this slight shake, Heidi fell backwards and onto the ground.

Chapter 54 Connector

All of Heidi's calculations were based on one big premise, that is, the news of Aize leaving the team had not yet spread, and she had plenty of time to play with him slowly.

The results of it?

This stupid woman actually stabbed herself in the most vulnerable part without her knowing it.

Heidi couldn't even get angry at this time, and her mind felt confused.

Seeing her fall straight down, Leah, who didn't know what was happening, quickly came over and kicked her lightly a few times.

"Hey, what's going on? What happened?"

"……when?"

"What?"

Heidi jumped up from the ground with a somersault, staring at Leah, who was much taller than her, with red eyes, and almost roared, asking:

"Hey! When did you write the letter to Shengdu?!"

Leah, who hadn't realized what she had done, still looked confused.

"Five days ago, the day you left the camp."

When she said this, she even shrugged her shoulders easily, thinking that Heidi was making a big deal out of nothing.

And what about Heidi?

I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground again.

Five days!? Even if we walked slowly, it would only take four days to reach the Holy City! Even faster delivery would only take two days!

Considering the number of spies planted by the various nobles and powerful factions in the Holy City, and their access to information, wouldn't all the high-ranking human leaders already know this news by now?!

In another week, maybe even the waitresses serving tea in restaurants will know about it!

Heidi let go of Leah, turned around, bit her nails, and began to think rapidly.

not good.

No, no, no, no, no, no...

No matter how you think about it, it's not a good thing!

At this moment, those grand dukes who coveted his throne had already begun to act.

Maybe the recruiting teams sent by some guys have already arrived in Tafia.

How could he have the time to leisurely sip a glass of wine and wait for Aize to come and apologize? What if someone else intercepted him on his way to apologize?

I have to speed up.

She looked at Leah.

Resisting the urge to tear this fool into pieces, Heidi put on a friendly smile as best she could and asked:

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"What for? Of course, I'm going to visit the lord of Tafia and ask him for reinforcements and supplies. What's the matter? Haven't you negotiated with him before?"

Indeed not, because it is really shameful to lower yourself to ask a viscount for help.

But now, things have changed.

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Leah's letter was no different from the starting gun in a race.

Now that we have entered the sprint stage, there is no need to worry about face. We must quickly appease this idiot and get her out so that we can do our own thing.

The two brave men went downstairs, and more than a dozen knights, including two knight commanders, were waiting in line on the street.

The shining armor and weapons gleamed brightly in the sun, which was indeed very attractive.

But it also blocked the road, causing complaints from the surrounding merchants and civilians.

Leah glanced at it and frowned:

"Why is there someone missing? Where is Constantine Wilkes?!"

A Knight Commander calmly replied:

"Just now, a robbery occurred on the street here, and Constantine went to chase the criminal."

This high-sounding reason would make Heidi sneer, but it is very applicable to Leah.

She nodded:

"Well, let's head to the lord's mansion. Everyone, line up and move forward!"

--------

Aize woke up early as usual, washed up quickly, and went straight into the study.

After a while, he came out with a pile of papers and changed into clothes for going out.

Violet, who had just woken up, yawned and looked at him puzzledly:

"Are you going out?"

"Well, let's go to Sheen and ask him about the follow-up of what happened last night. These things need to be handed over to him."

As he spoke, Aize raised the paper in his hand.

These were given to him by Sheen a few days ago. They were collected from the Adventurer's Guild and are part of all the monster subjugation commissions in the past few years.

Aize had actually finished reading it a long time ago, but he had kept it in his hand and had not handed it over, in order to put pressure on the Adventurer's Guild and force them to kill him so that he could get hold of something against him.

But now, the situation has changed, and Aize has decided to use it in a different way.

Taking the opportunity of Roderick, the president of the Adventurer's Guild, he wants to teach Heidi a good lesson.

"How's Anna? Is she still sleeping?"

The puppet maid beside her nodded.

"Yes, sir. Miss Anna is still sleeping soundly. I think she is too tired and the shock of yesterday was too great."

For such a young child to be overtired is truly...

Aize shook his head helplessly.

"Let her rest. I'm going first."

"Wait, if you want to see Xien, I'll go with you. It will be easier to talk with the fake noble identity. Wait for me to clean up."

After saying that, she turned around and rushed into the bedroom, closing the door and hearing the clanging sounds of people changing clothes and dressing up.

Then he quickly opened the door, poked his head out, and said with a smile:

"If you want to see it, now's the time. I don't mind."

"Look at the hammer, just change it quickly!"

"Boring~"

Violet pouted and retreated back into the room, and there was another round of clanging.

Soon, she changed into her usual purple dress and walked to Aize's side.

"I'm ready, honey, shall we go?"

Aize scratched his hair and nodded.

Holding Aize's arm as before, the two of them walked out the door and onto the street.

It was almost noon and the streets were already quite busy. The patrolling guards nodded to the two men, and the servants of the wealthy families also returned with the purchases and began to prepare lunch.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

Suddenly, Aize stopped.

Because he heard a slightly sharp bird call.

Villian, not understanding what was going on, asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

"nothing."

While denying, Aize observed the surrounding environment and his eyes stopped on a restaurant on the side of the road.

"This time isn't very good. Why don't we go after lunch? Otherwise, it will seem like we're just trying to get a free meal."

"Um...Okay!"

Villian was a little surprised by such a request, but she agreed readily. The two of them then went in, sat down, and ordered food.

Halfway through the meal, Aize suddenly showed a painful expression.

"Fuck, my stomach hurts—"

"Really? Are you okay? Did you eat something bad last night? Or was it the injury you got last night..."

Aize waved his hand:

"No, no, no, it's no big deal. Just going to the bathroom."

"Oh well."

Aize walked into the bathroom holding his stomach. The moment he closed the door, he jumped out of the open high window and landed in the alley outside.

There, a hooded figure, whose face could not be seen, was leaning against the wall waiting for him.

Seeing Aize coming, he bowed his head slightly and saluted:

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Boss. I'm so glad you're alright with your injury."

Aize sighed helplessly.

"It's all right now...but why are you here, Constantine?"

Chapter 55: Forever Loyal

Among Aize's numerous subordinates, Constantine Wilkes is a relatively special one.

Unlike most knights of noble birth, he was once a mercenary.

After being saved by Aize in a battle, he swore allegiance to him. With the establishment of the Holy War Knights, a group of brave warriors, he was promoted to the leader of the Knights.

Unlike those noble lords who value honor, Constantine's methods are more "pragmatic".

Stealth, assassination, backstabbing, as long as it can achieve the goal, he doesn't care.

Coupled with his calm and almost pathological personality, and his super strong fighting ability that can even fight with Leah, he has become Aize's most trusted thug, often responsible for those shady black missions.

The bird call that Aize just heard came from a specially customized whistle, which was used as a secret signal.

At this moment, after confirming that there was no one around, Constantine lowered his hood, revealing his short gray hair and expressionless facial features underneath.

"Lady Leah led a team to Tafia. I was one of the entourage. I temporarily left the team under the pretext of arresting bandits and came to meet the boss."

Aize raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Leah's in Tafia? What's she doing here?"
