Eton Duchy In the embassy, a waiter walked uneasily in the corridor.
He came to the room where the Grand Duke and his wife were staying and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
But she hesitated when she reached out her hand. Grand Duchess was resting inside. In the past, she would never have minded being disturbed while she was resting.
But it's hard to tell now. After getting up in the morning, a maid was scolded for using a little force when combing her hair.
This was simply unimaginable before. You know, His Highness Grand Duchess is famous for his good temper, and he has always been generous to the servants around him.
However, the servants all understood that the reason why Her Highness's personality changed drastically was because her sister - Duchess Finnie was missing, or more precisely, was kidnapped.
After all, Duchess Finnie is His Highness's only close relative besides her husband.
To make matters worse, no clues were found for several days.
After hesitating for a while, the waiter knocked on the door.
A voice filled with fatigue and worry came from inside. "What's the matter?"
The waiter felt distressed for a while, Father in Heaven, please don't torture this poor His Highness anymore.
He answered cautiously, "Your Highness, a lady who calls herself Laddie Setia Gerard has come to see you. She said that she has an old relationship with you, and we cannot refuse."
"Did she bring any news from Finnie?"
Grand Duchess's voice was filled with anxiety.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness."
"Missing!"
"Yes."
The waiter turned around and was about to leave when the voice of Grand Duchess suddenly came from inside:
"Laddie, it's actually Laddie! Bring her in, bring her in quickly?"
The waiter was a little confused, but it was obvious that Grand Duchess had changed his mind, and the lady who came to visit did know His Highness, and it seemed that the relationship was not normal.
He immediately walked outside quickly.
Grand Duchess's voice continued to be heard in the room, "Laddie! Laddie·Setia. Gerard, I knew you would appear by my side when I was most helpless."
Laddie walked through the corridor under the guidance of the waiter and came to the door of the Grand Duke and his wife's room. The two maids guarding the door opened the door of the room.
She looked inside and saw a beautiful lady sitting on the sofa. After the door opened, she immediately stood up and looked over.
This is Grand Duchess of Eton Duchy - Princess Helen. This Highness has chestnut hair and a pair of charming brown eyes. She was once a famous beauty in Corner Bay. After her engagement with Eton Grand Duke was made public, she broke the hearts of many aristocratic young people.
But at this time, although Princess Helen's appearance remained as beautiful as before, his complexion had lost its former radiance. In the eyes of those around him, His Highness had lost weight in just a few days, which was really distressing.
Laddie sighed and walked into the room. Grand Duchess waved slightly. The waiter who brought Laddie bowed and left. The two maids outside closed the door of the room.
Now there are only two people Laddie and Grand Duchess left in the room.
With no one else around, Grand Duchess lost control of her emotions instantly. She walked quickly to Laddie, hugged her, and said in tears:
"Laddie! You know everything about my sister, right? I... what should I do now? If something happens to Finnie, how can I explain it to my parents in heaven?"
"Helen Senior Sister..."
Laddie stroked the other person's back and whispered comfort.
"There will always be a way. I'm here to help you."
"Well~ thank you, thank you."
Grand Duchess Helen was sobbing and thanking her. Although her reason told her that Laddie alone had limited abilities and might not be able to make a big difference, she had to try every straw she grabbed now.
Laddie helped Grand Duchess sit back on the sofa, held her hand and said, "Senior Helen, please calm down first and explain to me in detail the clues you know, those 'special' clues."
Princess Helen calmed down and described what happened in detail.
Laddie noticed the key point. "So, the most suspicious thing about the whole process is that the guards and clerks collectively 'forgot' their memories for several hours?"
Princess Helen nodded and said, "Yes, magic, this must be the effect of magic."
Laddie asked, "Could this be caused by drugs? For example, Amnesia Grass."
Grand Duchess shook his head and said with great certainty, "No, as far as I know, there is currently no drug that can accurately control people's memory forgetfulness for a few hours. Although Amnesia Grass can also cause people to lose memory, the time period is random, and there is a high probability of erasing all memories since the beginning of the event."
"But whether it is Finnie's followers and guards, or the owner and clerk of that store, they have not lost any previous memories, but they have lost the memory of the most critical hours on the day of the crime. It is magic, and only magic can achieve this effect."
"Besides, this is the most direct evidence!"
She took out something and put it on the table. It was a stone, a slightly black stone.
Laddie recognized the stone immediately, "Magic Detection Stone?"
"Yes, after suspecting that the person who kidnapped Finnie was a mage, I went to the store to check it out in person, and this stone confirmed my suspicion."
Eton Duchy's Grand Duchess Helen Elvis, in addition to her noble aristocratic status, also hides another identity - a mage.
With the help of her noble status, her identity as a mage was well hidden. Although Witch Hunt became more and more fierce in the south, no one knew about it, not even her husband Eton Grand Duke.
So far, only two people know her secret, one is Mentor who guides her to become a mage, and the other is a school girl who studies magic with her - Laddie·Setia. Gerard.
Grand Duchess cried and said, "What should I do? I can't tell my husband all this! He certainly can't accept it!"
Laddie fell into deep doubts. "If it were our kind, why would they kidnap a noble girl with such a high status? Especially in these severe times when Witch Hunt is growing stronger, isn't such a high-profile and dangerous behavior asking for trouble?"
"Same kind?" Grand Duchess suddenly raised his voice, with a look of resentment in his originally beautiful eyes.
"Laddie, you actually think that people like this are the same kind? I never agree that people who commit such evil deeds are the same kind as us. He or they, whether they are mages or not, are just scum, scum, and garbage! I will definitely cut them into pieces."
Laddie felt a little worried. She knew very well that this senior had a kind and gentle personality in the past, but now she had a faint tendency to become darker. It seemed that her sister's kidnapping had been a huge blow to her.
After the other party calmed down a little, Laddie asked softly, "Senior sister, think about it carefully, is there anything special about Finnie? That would make the mage interested in her and willing to take such a big risk to kidnap her."
"There is indeed something about Finnie that would interest a mage."
Grand Duchess suddenly became calm and said slowly.
Thanks to "Zartoo" for the tip!
