Following Roland back to the office, Nightingale whispered, "I can't protect you..."

"No, you did a good job," Roland shook his head, "think about it, why did this assassin named Seo take action in the conference hall? Because he knew that I was protected by a witch, and that this witch was extremely powerful, and if she didn't transfer her, there was no chance. The more she was arranged, the more flaws there were, so in the end he could only attack with a small dagger."

"But he almost succeeded."

"It's not a success without killing me on the spot, and your existence limits this possibility." He smiled. "What would he do without you? Be patiently waiting for an opportunity that is enough to launch a fatal attack. As long as you lurk in the castle, such opportunities will always exist. So, you have protected me well. In fact, the safer the territory, the safer I am."

This is not a comfort... Nightingale thought, what His Highness really thought so, which made her feel a warm current surge in her heart, and the originally anxious self-blame dissipated for most of the time, "I understand... But you can't let Lightning and Maisie go again this time!"

"Uh, what's wrong with them?"

"When I'm not here, the two should be around you to beware of potential enemies!" Nightingale said bluntly, "For example, in today's situation, as long as lightning takes you, the assassin will never be able to hurt you."

"She's just a little lively."

"No! If Wendy and Shuju are there, they will definitely agree with my thoughts. If they don't really feel that they are wrong, what should they do if something really happens next time?"

"Um..." The prince touched his chin and thought for a while, "I understand, then I will punish them to stay in the house and not go out until they finish three sets of comprehensive math, physics and chemistry exercises?"

Nightingale couldn't help but take a breath and practiced comprehensively... The mathematics part is fine, elementary physics and chemistry are even more terrifying than the basic principles of nature. Just looking at the previous page can make people drowsy, especially those strange formulas and illustrations, which are no different from the spells in legendary stories. If you were yourself, it would probably be like you can never go out. However, thinking that it was the opinion you put forward, it was difficult to take it back at this moment, so you nodded with your heart, "In this way, they should realize their mistakes."

...

The afternoon meeting continued, and the Nightingale stayed behind Roland until dusk. The general framework of the second-level town hall and the first candidate were finally confirmed.

Pero Helmon was appointed CEO of Changge District. In addition to the general manager of the city hall, he also served as the Minister of Finance. His father, Earl of Helmon, served as the Minister of Construction, and was regarded as the biggest winner among the fortress nobles. Even Nightingale sighed secretly that His Highness did not blame the assassination on the Honeysuckle family, which was considered an extremely fair and kind performance among the lords.

The heads of other departments are from some outstanding people among the little nobles. They were originally barons or knights and were not qualified to participate in high-level government affairs. They were very excited about His Highness' appointment and removal, and expressed their willingness to serve His Highness for the rest of their lives.

Although it sounds like the truth at this time, the Nightingale knew that if the situation changes and the situation and the Church overwhelms the West, they would likely have left their vows behind.

Before the meeting, Your Highness repeatedly emphasized the two principles of employment. Family staff can be used in departments, but the proportion must not exceed 30%. At the same time, the files must be sent to the superior city hall for reporting. Another point is that regardless of whether family staff is used, all salary will be paid by the city hall. Violators are punished as crimes.

Nightingale had no interest in these contents and was yawning continuously until she saw Maisie flying into the Long Song Castle with Earl Spell.

After the dinner, the group followed Earl of Elk to Si'o's residence. It was an ordinary bungalow located in the castle area. The room was cleaned and not even a piece of paper was left. It was obvious that the other party had prepared for a long time and had destroyed all the evidence before the action.

"Si'ao needs to stay in the castle area during the day, so just recreate the contents of the evening," the prince told Ahsha. "I need to check out everything he has done since contacting former patrolman Mans to this day, right in this room, every clip is required."

Earl Spel summoned the magic channel, connecting Maisie and Asa.

Asa, who had temporarily gained sufficient magic, began to trace back to the detailed process of each night. Xi'o seemed to come back to life. He sometimes sat by the fireplace and sometimes wrote something on the paper, and all this was remembered by Soloya.

On the fourth day, he sat cross-legged by the fireplace as usual, but this time he had an additional insignia in his hand.

"Wait...I seem to have seen this thing," Roland's voice seemed a little surprised, "draw it down and let me see it."

The insignia was quickly drawn onto paper by a magic pen, about the size of a thumb, the body was a round gem polished into button shape, and the standard tower spear logo was engraved on both sides, which was a typical royal insignia.

"Is he the one from Tifeco?" Nightingale couldn't help asking.

Roland frowned and said nothing, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he shook his head slightly, "No, this is the token of Wimbledon III."

"You mean...your father?" Rennes said in surprise.

"The king has not been beaten by the great prince Goron" Pelo was also very surprised.

"When I was a child, I saw this kind of emblem on the desk of Wimbledon III, and asked him what it was. He said that each gem represents a warrior loyal to the royal family. The more gems, the more stable the throne of Wimbledon's lineage will be." His Highness sighed, "It seems that Sio should be the secret chess placed by the king next to Duke Ryan, monitoring the movements of the entire Western border for him."

"Then why did he attack you?" Renn said in confusion.

"Probably Tifeko found the list of gems and conveyed the assassination order... For them, the emblem means everything, no matter what order it is, it will be implemented."

"So that's it..." Nightingale looked at the assassinator made of magical illusions and stared at the emblem for a long time, and finally threw the gem into the fireplace, looking a little disappointed, and at the same time a hint of relaxation. Perhaps in Xi'a's eyes, this command also means relief.

However, Roland, who had figured out the reason, did not show a relaxed look, but looked at the fireplace where the Mars exploded with a serious look, and had not looked away for a long time.

...

Late at night, after Asa fell asleep, Nightingale sneaked into Roland's room.

She has never done this since Wendy blamed her. However, today's assassination made her mood fluctuate, and the absence of Wendy and Anna's castle also made her less restrained.

Looking at the sleeping Roland Wimbledon, she escaped from the fog, quietly walked to the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed his forehead.
