Chapter 2433

Hezti was now disheveled and had fresh scars on her face. She had just fled back to the castle and she did not have time to tidy herself up.

Her eyes, which used to be full of wildness, unexpectedly had a little more stability now. Although This not only did not reduce her charm but in fact, gave her an indescribable allure.

“Hezti, you lost…” Unlike the harsh treatment Paulson got just now, Sir’s voice this time had a touch of fondness. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When Hezti heard this gentle voice, not only was there no joy on her face but there was a trace of panic and fear in her eyes. She hurriedly fell to her knees.

“I am mainly responsible for what happened to Qari this time. I am also the one who caused the gun ban after the mosque attack!”

Hezti did not hide anything and directly told Sir what she did in Qari. She knew that even if she could hide what she did from others, she definitely could not hide them from Sir.

Anyone who thought they were smart to try to deceive Sir would only get the cruelest punishment in the world.

“You are pretty honest and you never thought of hiding. It seems you’ve matured a lot after this trip to Qari…”

Sir’s voice on the phone was full of emotion. However, Hezti’s body was shaking more and more violently.

She was now nominally the eldest daughter of the Rothschild family, but she was not Sir’s first daughter.

She remembered that the actual eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, her elder sister, was imprisoned in a dungeon and died from torture immediately after Sir praised her maturity.

No one in the entire family was even allowed to mention the name of the eldest daughter. In this way, her sister disappeared completely from the world together with all the traces of her. And if she could not give Sir a satisfactory answer, she would end up the way that eldest daughter did.

“I heard that the mercenaries who attacked the mosque were wiped out, and even their leader was killed on the spot. You are lucky to escape… It’s not luck…”

Hezti raised her head and the familiar wildness appeared in her eyes again.

“Oh?”

“I killed Edmund to cover up the fact that I was the one who led the attack… I was able to escape not because I was so good, but because I promised Nori to be his spy in the Rothschilds family. Because of that, he agreed to let me out. In return, he promised me that he won’t reveal that I was the real perpetrator of the mosque attack.”

There was silence on the phone.

It seemed that Sir did not expect Hezti to tell him everything so directly.

“So… Are you not afraid that I will punish you?” Sir’s voice was still gentle, but this time, there was a trace of murderous intent in it.

“No, you won’t. Since I can be Nori’s spy in the family, I can also beat him at his own game and become the family’s spy to spy on Mozart. Or even a spy in Somerland.”

After she finished speaking, there was silence on the phone.

Cold sweat drenched Hezti’s back but she insisted on looking at the dark corner ahead. However, her trembling wrists hidden in her sleeves exposed her nervousness.

“Hezti, it seems that you’ve really matured…”

After a sigh, a figure wrapped in a black robe appeared out of thin air in front of the dark and empty space.

It’s Sir!

He had been in the room the whole time and he was hiding his figure completely in some way. The voice on the phone was simply a smokescreen.

Hezti was not surprised when she saw this. Then, her back straightened. It was because she knew she did not have to die.
