Chapter 13
A fire suddenly broke out in the Heleses Manor.
The fire came inexplicably, starting from the study on the second floor. The fire spread rapidly, as if something was helping it.
The scorching flames awakened the revelry nobles. They pulled up their pants, put on their clothes, and fled from the Heleses Manor like drowned dogs.
As soon as the fire broke out, the daughters of Xilin van Heleses left the Heleses Manor from the trail led by the maid Alyssa.
The maid seemed to have anticipated this situation, and she found a way out very skillfully.
Xilin has many properties in Fontaine, and some private assets, which are enough for Alyssa and these girls to live a rich life.
Did Xilin expect that he would be assassinated?
We don't know what this old man who has been on the stage for a short time thinks.
Perhaps for the assassins of Peruvian and his group, Xilin van Heleses is just a troublesome mission target.
But for the daughters adopted by Xilin, he is undoubtedly a good father.
However, what does this mean to Peruvian and the others?
After all, Xilin Van Helleseth is just a stepping stone on their difficult road to survival.
The nobles who came here to attend the banquet got on their carriages in dishevel and dirty clothes, and then quickly left Helleseth Manor.
After tonight, Helleseth Manor, a famous social place, will no longer exist.
The security that was cleared by the little killers responsible for the outer blockade will also be reduced to ashes along with this manor.
Together with Xilin Van Helleseth.
[House of Fireplace] The first batch of children began to gather.
They packed the bodies of their dead brothers and sisters in thick, sturdy black bags, and then found a vacant land on the spot for them to rest in peace.
[Mother] Kugavina would not let them collect the bodies of their dead brothers and sisters. Only when their eldest sister Krevy was there did they have the courage to think of collecting the bodies of their brothers and sisters.
Kugavina had a profound influence on them. They were extremely afraid of the [mother] who always smiled gently.
After burying the brothers and sisters who died in this mission, Krevy led everyone back to [home] in the southern area of the eastern foothills of Mount Fontainemonts.
The fire was burning, and the Helless Manor turned into the wood of Teyvat, blooming with a brief and stunning beauty in the empty wilderness.
Kugavina sat on a big furry chair, she crossed her legs and smiled.
Her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the chair.
The armrest covered with fur was not comfortable to tap, and the unclear tapping sound was like the death knell of the god of death ringing in the ears of these children.
The children were trembling with fear. They lowered their heads, and they had not had time to change their clothes. Many of them had not had time to treat their wounds.
The blood circulated faster because of fear, which also caused the injured children to bleed more.
Kujiavina looked at them gently, and seemed very satisfied that they had achieved such a good result in their first mission.
"It seems that you have been studying hard. The mortality rate is 20% lower than I expected. Not bad, it deserves praise."
Kujiavina raised her hands and clapped gently.
Hearing this, the children who were originally nervous relaxed immediately. They exhaled heavily, and the cold sweat on their foreheads flowed down unconsciously. Their backs were already wet with sweat.
"Hehe... Don't be afraid, my dear children. As your [mother], I am more sad than anyone else for the children who died in this mission, but reality is so cruel."
Kujiavina put away her smile, she showed a sad look, and said with great heartache.
"The Hearth House was founded by the Faints, which means that each of you is a future Faint soldier and will give everything for the Queen. The current mission is just a small fight."
"In the future, you will face an enemy that is a hundred times stronger than Xilin Van Helleseth, and at that time, you will thank me for my training... Of course, if any of you can live to that time, I think... We may become colleagues."
Facing these children who have been trained for three years, Kugavina sometimes doesn't even bother to pretend.
After all, they are all experimental materials controlled by her, why spend so much effort?
If it weren't for the purpose of training the best [King], Kugavina wouldn't even want to be polite with Peruvian and others and communicate family feelings.
My dear Peruvian, grow up quickly!
[Mother] I can't wait to see the day when you ascend the throne.
Kugavina narrowed her eyes and looked at her meaningfully.She glanced at Peruvili in the crowd.
She had taken off her black cape. At this moment, she was wearing a sports outfit. The black highlights were so conspicuous in her white hair.
Her eyes, which looked like mushrooms after being cut, stared at Kugavina blankly.
What was Peruvili thinking about?
Kugavina didn't know, and didn't care.
"Huh?"
Peruvili, who was distracted, felt a hot gaze looking at her, and immediately came back to her senses.
Is it her?
Peruvili did not retract her gaze or shift her gaze. She just stared at Kugavina, as if she didn't know why [Mother] was looking at her, as if she was [Mother's] good baby.
"Hehe..."
Kugavina's face showed a gentle smile again, and she glanced at the surviving children.
"Go back and have a good rest. You will have three days of [holiday] next. You can go to Fontaine to have a look..."
"Fontaine is very prosperous. You will definitely like it."
"But you must come back before dusk on the third day~ Don't forget our rules..."
"[House of Hearth], betrayal is not allowed."
After that, Kugavina left on her own.
At this time, everyone was relieved. They sat on the ground casually, with tired faces.
Some children fell asleep directly, while some children cried softly.
...
The next day, Momang Palace.
Navilet looked at the report on the murder and arson case in Heleses Manor in his hand and fell into deep thought.
The owner of Heleses Manor and the current head of the Heleses family, Mr. Xilin van Heleses, was confirmed dead.
The search and rescue team sent by the Shadow Chaser found a headless body in the ruins.
The body was burned to charcoal by the flames, but according to the God's Eye that lost its light and the ring on the hand, the deceased is most likely Mr. Xilin van Helless.
The follow-up report needs to wait for the autopsy report of the forensic doctor of the Shadow Court to further verify it.
Who killed people in Fontaine?
The one who killed was a nobleman with extremely sensitive political status?
"Don't make the details of this matter public for now, don't cause panic among the people, and don't let the nobles incite public opinion."
After thinking it over and over again, Navilet decided not to make it public for the time being, and only claimed that it was an accidental fire.
However, he can't be the spokesperson.
As everyone knows, Navilet is not good at lying.
