The warden who guards the witches

Aiden felt a little confused.

A princess of a country? In his prison? And then being hunted by the Gistas secret police led by Count Hoffmann?

He originally expected that the prisoner would be just an ordinary person who was almost forced into prostitution by loan sharks, but he never expected that such a big fish would come in.

"I have heard about your deeds. Judging from the fact that you were hunted down by the secret police, the facts are probably close to the rumors." Aiden suppressed the surprise in his heart and said calmly, " But I didn’t expect you to escape to the Autonomous Prefecture... No, you are originally from the Autonomous Prefecture? "

"I was born in Shancheng because my mother is from the Autonomous Prefecture and my father did not let me adopt the nationality of Gistas. After all, I am just an illegitimate daughter." Saila replied.

"If you were a Gistas, maybe you were sent there after the trial." Aiden replied, "Did your father do this to protect you?"

"In order to protect me, I shouldn't have been born in this world." Saira said with a cold expression.

Aiden could see that the other party was in a very low mood, but he couldn't think of anything comforting for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to be a little more realistic, "It is also a crime to commit a crime intentionally to go to jail. The experience is really disappointing. People are sympathetic, but at least you are safe now. No matter how powerful the Gistas’ royal secret police are in their own country, they cannot cover the sky with just one hand in the autonomous prefecture.”

"They won't give up, they will find a way to let me die in prison." Saira suddenly looked into Aiden's eyes and said, "You might also sell my life directly to them, right? Mine Life is worth a lot of money now.”

After telling everything, the fear caused by the unknown disappeared, and instead, I suddenly felt confident to risk everything. Instead of shrinking back from looking away just now, she now dared to look directly at Aiden and issue this kind of soul torture.

"Sell you?" Aiden frowned slightly, "This is a prison, not a slave market... Forget it, even if I make any guarantee, you may not believe it. The reason why Gistas are chasing you I understand, but how did you escape to Silver City?"

"I used to live in the Evergreen District of Shancheng, very close to Gistas. The day after the new king came to the throne, I received an anonymous letter asking me to leave immediately. I was suspicious at first, and thought about it. I packed my bags one night and went to the tavern to hire a bounty hunter with a decent reputation as a bodyguard..."

"The first thing you thought of was hiring a bodyguard? You have pretty good mobility." Aiden commented.

Saira's expression stiffened for a moment and she answered: "Someone taught me what to do when I encounter danger. Because I didn't have any clue, the bodyguard found a suitable hiding place near my house for me to stay with her. Observe there, and then the next day we have a group of secret police in plainclothes break in and search my house," Serra replied.

"Since they are in plain clothes, how do you know they are secret police?" Aiden raised his hand and asked.

"Because I know the person leading the team. He is the leader of the secret police..."

"Count Hoffman?" Aiden raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Saira said, lowering her eyes.

"The director of the Royal Secret Police is looking for you personally. Your brother the king is very considerate to you." Aiden nodded, "By the way, you actually recognized Count Hoffmann? He must have been disguised to some extent when he looked for you. "

As the name suggests, the secret police is not a job that is easy to expose, and their tasks are basically not disclosed to the media. The portrait of a person arrested by the secret police and thrown into prison or executed may appear in the newspapers, but the secret police who killed the person rarely appear in the newspapers. Count Hoffmann was famous, but Eden did not collect any photographs of him.

And this princess was actually able to recognize the other party from a distance from where she was hiding.

"When my father was alive, he once assigned him to be my language teacher and bodyguard for a period of time. We...we were very familiar with each other." Saira took a deep breath as she spoke, "I have also seen his disguise, and I recognize it. he."

"Since he was assigned to protect you before, how are you sure he is here to lead people to hunt you down?" Aiden asked again.

"If he is here to protect me, is it necessary to bring a group of people to pry open the door of my house at night and search my house again?" A sad smile appeared on Saira's face, "He also personally mobilized people to Shancheng City When the bounty hunter took me away from Shancheng, he set his sights on our pursuers and shot at us! "

"I see, the royal secret police are loyal to the king, but the new king's loyalties are different when he takes office." Aiden nodded, "Then you fled all the way to Silver City?"

Judging from Saira's reaction, her relationship with Count Hoffman is probably more than just a close acquaintance.

But this is not important to Aiden. What he is more concerned about is whether all this is just a coincidence or Melissa's arrangement.

"We wanted to take the train to the Empire. It was difficult for the Gistas' pursuers to move there. At first, we planned to transfer to the closer Black Iron City, but we were intercepted by pursuers halfway, and then we changed to Silver City." Saira replied.

The Dragon Spine Empire and the Kingdom of Gestas have been enemies for many years. If the secret police of Gestas are discovered in the empire, they will almost immediately be charged as spies. There is no problem with this itinerary.

"Who decided the itinerary?" Aiden asked.

"I proposed to go to the Empire, and then she took me to the Black Iron City. When the road was blocked, we moved to the Silver City." Saila replied.

"Why did you hide in prison when you got here?"

"The secret police arrived in Silver City first and blocked the train station. After the bodyguard saw that the secret police from Gistas were chasing us, he gave up the mission here and let me find a way myself. It was her idea that I should hide in prison when I was desperate." Sera answered honestly.

"How did you choose this bodyguard?" Aiden asked again.

"I found an agent, he recommended several people, and I chose the one with the best reputation." Sera frowned slightly.

After listening, Aiden fell into deep thought.

This itinerary is full of variables from the beginning. It seems that the bodyguard led Sera here, but the bodyguard was also chosen by Sera herself. And the bodyguard did not plan to come to Silver City at the beginning. If the two had not encountered any obstacles on the way to Black Iron City, they would not have appeared in Silver City.

If it was arranged by the Goddess of Conspiracy through calculation, the whole incident should be more certain... Of course, it may also be that the other party's arrangement is actually more thorough than he imagined, and Sera's description did not reveal the full picture of her arrangement.

But the reminder from the anonymous letter was rather crude. If Sera had thought about it all night and gotten a different result, her escape journey would have ended before it even began.

Who sent the letter?
