Chapter 1083: Section 680: Who Knows (5)

"Is my daughter really planning to live with her child in the Church today?" Goethe glanced at the report in front of him, feeling somewhat weary of the anger from the Noble Council written across it — Faye’s report practically portrayed that knight as an assassin sent by the council.

"How could that be possible? Even though those people in the council rarely do anything decent, at least they understand what a horrific crime it would be to assassinate the offspring of two Legendary individuals." Madam Miracle cast a glance at the report Goethe had thrown over before looking towards the dandy man sitting on the sofa beside them: "Roben, what do you think?"

"Is there any need to mention those farcical laws, my friends? Consider, that adorable child has two Legendary parents; any attack on this young one will provoke the most violent intent to kill. I have even considered a most exquisite manner of death for the Tulin family," said the dandy of the Roben family, despite having aged a few more years, he appeared young as a Half-blood, not yet having had the chance to pray for his hair.

His words made Count Margub Vanter laugh: "Indeed, I thought so too. Remembering the power Malin displayed before us back then, looking at him now truly feels like ages ago. How did this child grow up? Could it be that sunbathing makes one stronger?"

"If that were the case, I’m afraid our Mr. Malin would soon become an invincible being, although he’s already quite powerful."

"Fortunately, I didn’t impulsively say back then that I would fight him when he grew up." Count Migung recalled with a chill.

"My old friends, I’ve invited you today because I want to handle this matter more appropriately. The Tulin family has served the royal family for a long time, and we don’t know what that knight called Boer is thinking now," Goethe said as he glanced around the hall: "I think those guys should learn gratitude. My wife is not present, otherwise, there might not be any Noble Council issues tonight."

"That would be quite a good thing." Madam Miracle countered.

"Enough, my old friends. For the sake of anything, don’t let this city run with blood. I give you a royal decree, go see that young man and ask him what he’s really thinking. If he refuses to explain, I fear my daughter truly might annihilate their family," Goethe sighed: "Tell him that if he can reveal the mastermind, I can spare his family. If he wishes to remain loyal to the mastermind, I won’t oppose but neither will I stop my daughter from acting."

"...Goethe, your biggest problem is trying to balance this bowl called nobility, but how can you? There’s a pecking order among nobles, what can you do?" Count Migung stood as he spoke, moving to the table: "Come, give it to me, let me ask for you."

"I entrust it to you, Migung."

"Don’t thank me; I have classmates from the Tulin family too, and I don’t want to see my old classmate accidentally ruin himself." With that, Migung accepted the royal decree freshly sealed with the royal insignia: "By the way, Madam Miracle, interested in accompanying me?"

"Why?" The lady of the Southern Giant was slightly surprised.

"What if I get killed on the way? You see, these days our lives are just as cheap as a bullet."

"You could ask Master Malin about that." Though reluctant, Madam Miracle still stood up and followed Migung towards the hall exit, turning back to bid Goethe farewell: "Goodbye, my old friend, may your wife return a bit later."

"Hopefully, having a Legendary daughter is enough for me to handle, so you all better try hard too; I don’t want to be the first Legendary warrior to die of domestic violence, it would be very embarrassing, you know." Goethe finished, picked up the cigarette case on the table, and tossed it to Migung: "Take it, and come back quickly!"

"Marvelous, my old friend, you really are quite the character." Migung laughed heartily as he slipped the cigarette case into the large pocket inside his coat’s tail.

......

Should I take my child to Regensburg to wade through these troubled waters?

When Nova received the message from Faye, her first thought was to go there to support Faye, but she quickly gave up — this attack seemed like two sides of assassins striking simultaneously. But in Nova’s view, those Chaos Assassins and the eventual knight assassin were two entirely different assassination attempts; the former were Chaotic Believers, whereas the latter... was definitely a very tough fanatic to deal with.

Even in Faye’s hometown of Regensburg, such things could occur; Nova thought that she, a young girl not yet half a step to Legendary, should not stand out — not quite fated but brave people like this always die quickly.

Though she lacked the courage to go, Maya came to her door — the young lady was still staying at the palace recently, but this time, she brought her child before Nova: "Take care of my child for me, I’m going to help Faye."

"Give the child to me, I swear that any assassin will have to step over my dead body before harming him." Nova reached out and held the little kitten, purring — this child knew Nova and was willing to trust her.
