Chapter 12 Exposed

Valeria was in the study at this time, and the image stone projected the shadows of Selsi and Tarasha in the backyard.

The image stone can record the things illuminated by the light, and can project them from another stone statue.

All the light sources in the manor are emitted by the image stone. This secret is unknown to anyone except the owner of the manor.

The shadow of Selsi entering the backyard for the first time was recorded.

Valeria looked at the projected plot. When she talked to Selsi, she knew that she would definitely go to the backyard. What surprised her even more was that she looked at the silver-white long hair projected in the image stone, which was exactly the same as the characteristics of the person who took the list as the informant said. In this continent where blondes and redheads are the majority, silver-white long hair is rare.

Unexpectedly, the killer she hired was actually related to this bard.

She saw Tarasha hide in the shadow and remembered the legend she heard from afar, the shadow walker who killed countless people. It was said that the church over there was wanted for her. Unexpectedly, the original body actually ran to her manor.

However, she did not intend to report her. You know, if you make enemies with such a ruthless person, you don’t know when you will die. She didn't think she had the ability to beat this professional assassin.

She was just curious about how this bard had gotten in touch with her.

When she heard Selsi say that she would go find her, she looked straight into Selsi's eyes. Selsi was staring at the image stone every time she said something about her. She was amazed at her sharpness.

After a moment's thought, Valeria asked the butler to call the two up.

She looked at the photo of her mother on the desk. The woman in the photo was gentle and dignified. No one would have thought that the day after the photo was taken would be her death day. Such a proud person could not endure the long-term violence of a man and hanged herself in the utility room in despair.

Valeria closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her mother was extremely disappointed with men when she was alive. Her only wish was that the two children could love and support each other. She had endured all these years to fulfill her mother's last wish, but now she was still disappointed.

Selsi in the lobby leaned against the wall. Now everyone was in danger and suspicious of each other. She was happy that no one was looking for her to join forces.

The butler followed the young lady's order and came to Selsi: "My young lady invites you two."

The butler didn't understand why the young lady asked for two guests when there was only one guest, but he didn't dare to ask more about the master's affairs.

Tarasha's alert level rose to the highest level when she heard this. Suddenly, she felt her hand being patted.

Selsi shook her hand slightly and gently patted the shadow on the wall. "Okay, we'll go now."

She asked the butler to lead the way. The butler could only see Selsi's face. Listening to her words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Entering the study, the butler retreated first with foresight.

Valeria calmly sat on the chair and said to the two of them: "I heard that you have something to say to me, Miss Evangeline, and this shadow walker who unveiled the list."

Hearing her words, Tarasha realized that she was exposed, so she simply showed her true identity: "How did you find out?"

Seeing Valeria spit out the three words "image stone", Tarasha knew that she was careless this time. She never made such a mistake before. Why did she go back more and more since she met Melrose.

Valeria did not put too much energy on this shadow walker. She was more concerned about this extraordinary bard.

"You want to talk to me about the backyard." This is a question, but she said it in a statement.

Selsi smiled and nodded, "Please tell me how to solve this magic array."

As expected, Valeria didn't have much idea about the magic array in the backyard. Things from her father, it's best to destroy them. She hated everything about her father. This man who didn't treat her as a human being was not worthy of being her father, and she didn't want to use these crooked ways to consolidate her position.

"Are you so sure that I will help you?" Valeria propped up her chin and looked at her teasingly.

"I can't guarantee it, but you must have a legitimate reason to succeed to the throne, you are more talented than your brother, and it is our honor to serve you."

"Ha, you are really interesting."

This smile made her already charming face even more charming. Others will handle the matter, and fame and fortune are yours, so why not do it.

She stood up, took out a magic book from the secret compartment of the bookshelf and threw it to Selsi. Selsi opened the page and saw the spell array for summoning demons. Valeria continued to add, "My brother just happens to have nothing to do now."

Selsi and Tarasha understood what she meant, "Thank you, Earl Valeria." Selsi was very sweet, but Tarasha cared more about her bounty.

Valeria threw the magic bag to her, which contained the agreed deposit, "Thank you." Tarasha just nodded.

After leaving the study, she handed the magic book to Tarasha, who fled to Kahar's room and threw the magic book on the ground.

Kahar was in a rage, smashing things around, and didn't hear the sound of the book falling to the ground.

When he calmed down, he turned around and saw that the book lying on the ground didn't look strange at all, thinking it was just an ordinary book.

He picked up the book, and the exaggerated illustration on the cover showed that it was

extraordinary. Kahar opened the book, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became: "This can bring me back to the top!"

He quickly found a magic circle with the note "can fulfill all your wishes".

He looked around and found nothing that could be used to draw a magic circle. He picked up the broken glass and cut a wound on his hand. The blood dripping from the wound was drawn into a magic circle by him.

He recited the spell according to the book.

The magic circle flashed a strange light, flames rose from the center, and a demon walked out.

"Look, this weak human, what is your wish?" The creature in the center of the array had blond hair and blue eyes, long hair tied behind his head, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. He looked like an ordinary human, and only the words that came out of his mouth kept bewitching people.

Kahar was about to answer when his voice was cut off.

Tarasha emerged from the shadows behind her and threw a flying dagger that pierced the demon's arm.

"Hey, this hurts." The wound was healing quickly, and the demon's anger was growing.

The demon quickly approached Tarasha and wrestled with her. Kahar was forced into a corner and trembled.

The fight between the demon and Tarasha was undecided for a while. The two were equally strong and both were seriously injured. Tarasha was not careful and fell behind. The demon suddenly rushed towards Tarasha, with sharp horns on his head pointing at her heart. At the critical moment, a burst of music sounded, and the demon was controlled for a second. In this second, the situation turned around. Tarasha seized the opportunity with a dagger to dig out the demon's heart, and the demon fell to the ground and disappeared.

Tarasha gasped and looked up at the bedroom door.

The door had been pushed open, and Selsi walked out of the door. Her hands were bleeding, which was cut by the strings when she plucked. The more powerful the musical instruments are, the harder it is to play. The callus that had been there for many years was cut off in the Forest of Oblivion, and the new flesh has not grown yet. It was hit again in a short period of time, and it was a new wound.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the backyard? Why are you here?" Tarasha panted.

"If I don't come here, you will die." Selsi walked up to her and stuffed the hemostatic medicine into her mouth. Tarasha subconsciously wanted to vomit, but Selsi covered her mouth.

"Swallow it." Selsi's words were more serious than ever. Talsha was stunned by her tone and swallowed it obediently. After she came to her senses, Talsha immediately fed Selsi a tonic.

The atmosphere between Selsi and Talsha was harmonious, but it was different with Kahar.

Valeria came in with Selsi, and there were many guards behind her. "Kahar summoned a demon to kill his father. The evidence is clear. Arrest him now." Valeria pointed to the magic array on the ground and said.

Before Kahar could react to what happened, he was forced to kneel in front of Valeria by the guards. "Why are you pressing me? Go and execute me now!"

Kahar was about to argue, but he was blocked by the guards and taken away.

After Talsha took the tonic, her injuries healed soon, but she couldn't recover for a while.

Seeing that she could stand up, Selsi walked to Valeria with confidence: "Thank you Miss Leviston for your help."

This woman did a really good job, killing three birds with one stone. "No need to thank me. I should thank you." Valeria covered her mouth and smiled, "And I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to be my guest writer."

Tarasha heard this from a distance, raised her eyes and looked at Selsi, looking forward to her answer.

"It is an honor to have your invitation, but I still prefer to wander around the world." Selsi declined. For some reason, Tarasha breathed a sigh of relief. She was not that kind of person.

Inexplicable shame, for malicious speculation.

Valeria did not force it, but just hoped that they could leave tomorrow, both to let Tarasha rest and to allow herself to hold a farewell banquet for them to express her gratitude.

Now they did not refuse and went to the room that Valeria gave them to rest. Before leaving, Selsi finally said: "Since Nianzun has passed away, the agreement between him and me will be invalidated." Valeria knew that Selsi might not have planned to write for Max from the beginning, "The agreement with my father is of course invalid. It depends on whether Miss Poet is willing to do another business."

"I believe there will be many people willing to become the Earl's personal writer."

"That's a pity." Valeria supported her face with a little distress.

"If you have new ideas, the Earl's Mansion welcomes you at any time."

The woman finally stated, turned around and left to deal with the affairs.

The aftermath of this farce was that Valeria naturally became the new Earl, and the nobles were gossiping that Max's son killed him.

In fact, everyone knew that Kahar did not have the motive to commit the crime, but sometimes pretending to be stupid is also a science.
