Armand's eyes gradually revealed interest, and even Ranran in his arms could feel the curious prying , the person he was interested in was not Leonor. What Armand was interested in was the changes in Leonor as a person.
An old-fashioned and boring piece of wood can also come alive. How magical this world is.
"I want to emphasize two points to you."
"First, I am not your husband, and you are not my wife. We are just an engaged couple, so there is no such absurd saying as a husband holding someone in his arms."
Leonor argued calmly, "You know that we will become husband and wife in the future."
Armand narrowed his eyes, and the dangerous aura he exuded made Ranran shudder.
He gently patted Ranran's back with the hand that was around her waist, as if to comfort her.
Ranran was shocked at his strength, that he could hold her steadily with just one hand, but then she thought that she shouldn't judge this man by human standards.
"Since Miss Leonor has such an attitude, I don't need to elaborate on the second point."
"Please help yourself."
After saying this, Armand walked towards the Rose Path without looking back, passing Hei Cha who was bending over to wait for him. His steady steps made Ran Ran feel no shaking at all.
Soon they arrived at the crime scene.
After seeing clearly, Ranran immediately lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes, and a look of shock also flashed across Heicha's face.
“…This…” She insisted on her character setting, looking at Armand coldly and puzzledly, “Mr. Count, how could this happen?”
Armand raised his lips and said, "If you are surprised because of the path of the blood flow, I can tell you directly that this has nothing to do with this incident."
The scene before the three people was completely different from what Minister Gao and Zhong Ning saw.
At this moment, there were no scattered painting supplies on the scene, only the dirty white gauze that almost covered the entire space, and Tok's pale body illuminated by the moonlight.
The strangest thing is that the trajectory of the blood flowing out of Toke's body is also different from that of Minister Gao and the others at that time!
There are generally two forms of liquid flow.
If the ground is not tilted, the liquid will spread out in all directions like flat egg liquid.
If the ground is tilted at a certain angle, the liquid will only flow in one direction.
It would not flow in random twists and turns and form the strange pattern it is now!
Ranran acted as if she sensed something uneasy and kept trying to get into Armand's arms. A smile flashed in Armand's eyes and he stepped back as Ranran intended.
Ran Ran didn't calm down until she retreated to a suitable position. Her thoughts were very pure, and only by standing farther away could she see the whole picture.
Thanks to Count Armand's tall stature, she had a high enough view.
She saw clearly a dark pattern formed on the ground mixed with soil - a rose made of blood.
It is blooming warmly and grandly.
Such a strange phenomenon, but Armand said it had nothing to do with this incident...
First of all, the key to forming this blood-red rose pattern must be the glass rose garden. The main reason why Ranran made such a speculation is that she did not believe that Armand would designate a piece of pure roses as a restricted area.
The rose is not simple, and the land that carries the rose has also become magical.
If she remembered correctly, this glass rose garden was the only place in the castle where she could see soil.
Ranran probably understood what Armand meant...
Meaning that Tok's death had nothing to do with the Rose Garden.
After admiring the crime scene, Armand looked at Hei Cha, "Maid Eve, I believe you have taken note of everything here." "Ms. Leonor, too."
He pondered for a moment, "Why don't you start a competition to see who can be the first to find the murderer who killed this servant? I will be the referee."
Heicha looked up in astonishment. Armand's request corresponded exactly to the main mission.
Is this a coincidence? Or is Armand's will the key to dominating this instance?
Leonor had the same idea as Heicha, so she rarely showed indifference or directly rejected Armand, but agreed.
"You two can each find a few helpers. I look forward to your performance." Armand nodded, hugged Ranran and walked back, leaving Heicha and Leonor looking at each other.
Looking for helpers... Ultimately, this is a confrontation between the [Pure White] and [Pure Black] lineups, and their helpers have been determined.
The two of them tacitly did not say a word, but just followed Armand's footsteps.
Outside the glass greenhouse, Ah Fu had already cleaned Ran Ran's wheelchair and was waiting with a smile on his face.
Armand raised his eyebrows and said, "From now on, I don't need you anymore. Ah Fu, just do what you need to do."
Ah Fu was shocked, "That lady..."
Armand interrupted him calmly, "Of course I'll take care of it."
Oh my god, flower eater! The master has always been the one being taken care of, and has never learned any skills in taking care of others! How can I take care of the sick Miss Elizabeth!
Ah Fu was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Because his master, Count Armand, was obviously confident about this, he could not rashly speak out to refute his master's interest.
Besides, he is always waiting by the side, so even if the owner really doesn’t know how to take care of the child, he can save the situation in an instant.
Ah Fu thought so and silently closed his mouth.
No one expected that an accident would suddenly happen at such a harmonious moment.
Just as Armand was about to carefully place Ranran back on the wheelchair, a dagger flashing with cold light suddenly stabbed at him.
At that time, Ranran's hands were still around Armand's neck, so she could clearly see the danger coming from behind Armand.
【Eye of Truth】 is activated instantly.
Armand still maintained his bent posture, his hands supporting Ranran's waist, lifting her up easily as if he was holding a doll.
The wheelchair was still below, and Ranran had nothing to lean on except hooking her arm around Armand's neck. She had no support at all. She turned her head to look at Armand's handsome profile, and was surprised to see the gentleness in his cold gray eyes.
In fact, this was the first time Ranran observed Armand up close.
As a character she needs to build a good relationship with in the dungeon, Ranran's attitude towards Armand has always been [fawning, but keeping a distance]
Even without vision and hearing, Ranran could clearly feel the danger of Armand.
She never dared to let her eyes linger on Armand's face, even for a second, because she instinctively felt that her disguise would be instantly seen through if she did so.
During the few times he observed her, Ranran only looked at Armand's back.
Was the gentleness in those ruthless eyes really because of her? Ran Ran couldn't understand.
Ran Ran could also see clearly the dagger that was shining with a cold light. It was made of pure silver and the overall shape was a cross. The hilt of the sword held by the assassin was straight and parallel to his hand.
It is the cross, then...
Armand's identity is about to be revealed.
The owner of this castle is a being that can only be killed with a silver cross.
Just like the famous vampire in the Western legends in the outside world. (End of this chapter)
