Regarding this compensation, Narant was a little speechless. He was using himself as a shield.
However, when this witch testified for herself previously, she had actually made him the eldest prince's target. Now that she has come out like this, it is just the 'icing on the cake'.
Now Narant had no time to think about this matter. Now his mind was full of the secret information behind it.
According to Natasha, maybe the Freemasonry is the secret flag of the church, specifically provoking wars between nobles, and then the church reaps the benefits.
Come to think of it, this is really true.
In a war, no matter who wins or loses, it is the civilian serfs who suffer.
At this time, as long as the church releases a little kindness, it can quickly win over people's hearts.
As for the motive?
Very simple, that is the theocratic empire!
Thinking of the theocratic society in the West in his previous life, Narant couldn't help but shudder.
The butt determines the head. As a little knight lord, he is absolutely incompatible with the power of God.
I just don’t know why the nobles still allow the church to develop like this. It stands to reason that few nobles, big and small, are stupid. Shouldn’t this threat be nipped in the bud?
"Kaman, now it has been confirmed that the people behind this matter are the dirty rats of the Freemasonry!" While Nalant was thinking, Bernard over there spoke to the Black Iron Earl, "So your second son Kun
You can be sure that Te’s death was not intended by our Tulip family to target you!”
"Of course, Quint died in my castle, and I will still continue to track down the murderer. However, the murderer is probably a corrupted noble now, so you need to give me some time!"
Now the mastermind behind the scenes is clear, but it is obviously impossible for this ordinary maid to kill Quint!
The person who did it must be a titled knight, or maybe even a noble.
Faced with such a situation, it becomes difficult to track down the real culprit.
Because the murderer did not kill Quint out of vendetta, so everyone present was suspect.
"Okay! But Bernard, I hope you can give me the answer as soon as possible!" The Black Iron Earl's face was ashen, but now he had no reason for the attack.
Since it was the Freemasons who took action, the Tulip family is actually also a victim.
Of course, the Tulip family has a great responsibility no matter what, and they must give him an answer in the end.
The two earls reached an agreement, and then everyone returned to the inner castle.
On the way back, Nalant glanced at the people around him.
At this time, in addition to a few earls, the descendants of the great nobles were also among the group.
Quint was killed quietly. The murderer was either super strong or someone he knew well. In this way, he could kill both Quint's master and servant instantly.
As for those with super strength, they would be a few earls, but not to mention that they had no reason to join the Freemasonry. In addition, they had no time to commit crimes before, so they all stayed in the banquet hall.
Now the most suspected murderers are the heirs of the great nobles, because only they could be familiar with Quint and then take action when Quint is unprepared.
But Narant looked at them one by one and couldn't tell who might be the murderer.
…
The group of people returned to the banquet hall, and Bernard announced that the murderer of the maid had been found and executed, and asked everyone to continue with the banquet.
After the several earls gave their orders, they left the banquet hall, probably to clean up the aftermath or discuss the matter of the Freemasonry.
Although the banquet in Jesse Lai continued, after all, such a big accident occurred, and all the nobles lost their previous high spirits. The banquet continued for more than an hour, and some nobles began to take positions one after another.
Some nobles left with their companions, some with their dancing partners.
Although several little girls from Nasia's classmates tried their best to give Nalant hints when they left, Nalant really couldn't take action. After all, they were all underage.
"Sir Narant!"
After Nalant said goodbye to his father, sister and others, he was about to leave with Boris and Reyer, but at this time he was stopped by Lina.
"Miss Lina, is something wrong?"
"Sir Narant, my lady wants to see you!" Lina smiled sweetly.
"Meet me? Okay!" Although there was a small accident, Nalant definitely needed to see him.
In the envious eyes of Boris and Rael, Nalant followed Lina alone towards the back garden.
After crossing the familiar trail from last time, when he stood on the stone bridge again, Nalant couldn't help but glance towards the lower reaches of the stream.
Although that stunning figure was no longer in the creek today, the scene of the stunning glimpse last time still clearly appeared in Nalant's mind.
After crossing the stone bridge and walking for a few minutes, Nalant finally entered the white manor stone house under the leadership of Lina.
"I've met Miss Stella!"
Entering the living room on the first floor, Stella had already changed her dress into a beige lace dress, with her smooth and smooth golden hair hanging down naturally.
Although the aloof temperament at the banquet that could not be looked at directly has weakened at this moment, this ordinary dress looks more graceful and luxurious, finally giving people a sense of intimacy.
"Sir Narante, please sit down!"
Stella noticed the movement, closed the book in her hand, and looked at Nalant with her beautiful royal blue eyes.
"I wonder why Miss Stella came to see me?" Sitting on the sofa opposite Stella, Nalant looked at the tulip flower.
"It's nothing, I just want to thank Sir Nalant for the three gifts he gave me at the banquet today!"
"Miss Stella, you don't have to be polite. As long as you like it, it's my honor!" Nalant was not surprised. Last time he gave her a few bottles of perfume, but Stella gave him an elite male servant.
Obviously, this Miss Stella is a very principled person.
"I know that you were not planning to give this necklace to me at first. It was the appearance of the second prince that made you have this idea!"
"Uh..." It was really hard to poke through. Nalant was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Sir Nalant, you don't have to be embarrassed. I just want to explain to you that I like this gem necklace very much. Although you didn't really give it to me, I still want to keep it!" Stella said slowly.
Open your mouth slowly.
"However, this gem necklace is extremely precious. Although I accepted it, I will not let you suffer in vain!"
With that said, Stella picked up a book from the small table next to her.
"This is a fire-based knight's secret technique. Although it is only a handwritten copy, its value is at least five hundred gold coins. I will use it to make this exchange with you. Think about it, it can also be worth this.
A necklace!”
"This..." Nalant was stunned.
"Sir Narant, you don't have to worry. This is the compensation you deserve. It's a fair exchange! I have no additional conditions!" Seeing that Narant didn't reach out, Stella thought it was Narant who didn't dare.
receive.
After all, the necklace was given to me as a gift, so if I took advantage of it, I would definitely have some scruples.
"Thank you, Miss Stella!"
However, Stella thought wrong.
Other noble vassals really care about the distinction between superior and inferior, because the concept of superior and inferior hierarchy has been deeply ingrained in their minds.
But as a time traveler, Nalant naturally has no such scruples.
He was not worried about anything just now, but was shocked.
The knight's secret skill, isn't this the secret horse riding skill of the Tulip Knights? It is the most important thing in forming the knights.
He didn't expect to get it so easily.
Uh... Of course, although this can be regarded as a gift given by the system, Nalant still praised Stella's conduct in life.
Obviously, the reason why Stella exposed her gift-giving earlier was not because she had low emotional intelligence, but because she was worried that she would not dare to accept the gift.
