The warden who guards the witches

Aiden brought the two of them into the room at the back of the library. This was the laboratory provided by Aiden for Arsena to do research. Aiden allowed her to study some simple necromancy and organize and write some anatomy papers here. . This place is far more secluded than the library and reading room, and has better sound insulation.

"I'm a little surprised." After gesturing for Arsena and Saira to sit down, Aiden found a seat opposite them, and then looked at Arsena, "You have never liked to meddle in other people's business. When this task is given to you, you You are also reluctant. Now you suddenly want to take the initiative? Your relationship has become so good in just a few days?"

"I'm sorry, Warden, I really don't like her at all." Arsena said indifferently, "If you hadn't protected this little noble girl, I would definitely give her an evil spirit roar to keep her away in the future. ”

Saira looked at Arsenal cautiously, acting rather weak. She was no longer easily frightened by Arsenal, but as soon as Arsenal opened her mouth, she could feel that the other party was serious and was definitely not a joke.

"You have always been indifferent to others. Dislike is also a kind of attention, which means that she can arouse your interest at least. Well, since you have been appointed as her bodyguard, it is not a big deal to let you know something." Aiden He looked at Saira and said, "Let me put it simply, I was ambushed by the secret police tonight, and the leader was Count Hoffmann."

"Is it really him?" Saira was still a little doubtful.

"It can't be wrong." Aiden thought to himself, otherwise he wouldn't have to escape all the way back. "I almost could have fed him a bullet, but it was a pity that someone blocked the shot."

Aiden said it lightly, but Saira's words were raised in her throat as soon as she heard her heart.

Arsena looked at Saira, whose face suddenly became nervous, and quickly understood the situation. Then she looked at Aiden again, and suddenly interjected: "Talking in front of others about how you almost killed the man they liked, Warden Your coldness is really fascinating. You really have the interest in fighting for love, right?"

Aiden didn't react at all to Arsena's joke, but looked at Saira: "So you and Count Hoffman are actually lovers?"

After hesitating for a moment, Saira finally nodded.

"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see such a routine script in my life." Aiden commented.

He had noticed before that the relationship between Serra and Count Hoffman was unusual, but now it was confirmed that they were actually lovers, which was expected.

That's why he felt it was more necessary to say hello to Saira.

"This encounter was an accident for me. I didn't expect that he would come to arrest me personally." Aiden said calmly, "But it won't happen next time. If he brings someone to the door again, I will Be prepared. I'll tell you bluntly, I will kill Hoffman if necessary."

This is indeed what Aiden planned. His purpose is very clear. There are only two points. One is to solve the prison infiltration and assassination operations of the Royal Secret Police of Gistas, and the other is to obtain the word of God from Heinz Hoffmann.

Both of these goals could be solved immediately by killing Heinz Hoffmann. Due to his position, he could not reach a deal with the secret police and could only confront them.

Facing such an opponent, showing mercy will only leave you with future troubles.

Although he had exposed two cards, his biggest trump card was still there, and he still had the amalgam golem to use, and now the secret police had to fight against the entire city's military and police force after the failed attack on him.

Anyway, these foreign spies are indeed threatening his personal safety now, and killing the spy leader can be regarded as self-defense.

Saira's eyes widened suddenly and she subconsciously said: "Wait--"

"I'm not here to ask for your opinion, just to inform you." Aiden interrupted her calmly, "Obviously, your brother the king values ​​you and him very much, so he sent him to carry out this task personally. Not only to kill you effectively, but also to force him to stand in line. If you kill him, the secret police's offensive will collapse and your life will no longer be in danger in a short time."

"But I..." Saira's lips trembled.

"It's absolutely incredible. You've been forced to this point and you still think about your man's safety. If you care about him so much, why don't you commit suicide in prison so that he can do his job properly?" Arsena turned on the mocking mode again.

"Don't encourage her. The Prison Management Bureau will definitely talk to me if the prisoner commits suicide, and then I will settle the account with you." Aiden glanced at Arsenal.

"Isn't there... a better way?" Saira cast a pleading look at Aiden.

"How about you sleep with the warden and let him spare your man's life as much as possible?" Arsena suddenly said.

"Don't make such jokes in this situation." Aiden frowned and glanced at Arsenal.

"I'm not kidding." Arsena said expressionlessly, "If she really mentioned that, I might change my opinion of her a little, or at least take some action, although based on your principles, Warden, I would definitely not She will agree. But as she is now, she is really a true fairy tale princess just by begging good people to be her hero."

Saira was so ridiculed that she could not speak.

"Don't always try to take advantage of other people's sympathy. Although the warden is a passable and good person, he is not a fool you can take advantage of." Arsenal said again.

This time Aiden did not refute, because he really did not intend to listen to Sera's plea. Sera and Heinz might be a pair of star-crossed lovers, but they have no future. Heinz probably saw this calmly and chose to sacrifice his lover to quell the power struggle within the kingdom. Trying to save Heinz's life would not change the confrontation between the two, and it would also require taking unnecessary risks - in the end, whether he could successfully get rid of Heinz was still a question.

"Today, Count Hoffman personally led people to attack me, and this matter has been put on the table. Next, the Inquisition and the Mounted Police will take action. If I reveal that the attacker has spy characteristics, it will only be a matter of time before the Autonomous Prefecture Army pays attention to it. Whether he can live or not is not up to me." Aiden looked at Sera, "I also have to ensure my own safety, please forgive me - of course, I don't actually need your forgiveness."

Sera felt her heart sink quickly, and even breathing seemed to become difficult.

"Then I have another thing to ask you." Aiden didn't have time to consider the other party's mood, and went straight to the next topic.

He took out a stack of letters from his pocket and placed them on the table. "These two letters are from you, asking for help, sent from prison. The recipient address is not in the autonomous state, but in the border area of ​​​​Gistas. Can I ask who you plan to send them to?"
