Backlund, Empress Borough.
Audrey quickly arrived outside Earl Hall's study. She took a deep breath to calm herself and knocked on the door.
"Please co in."
Audrey opened the door: "Sorry, Father, did I disturb you? Is it true what the newspaper says? General... Christian has defected?"
In the study, besides Earl Hall, there were also Audrey's elder brother Hibbert, and Earl Hall's good friend Earl Wolfe.
Earl Hall knew that his daughter was friends with Hobert, so he smiled and said, "Dear, please co in. We are also talking about this matter."
From everyone's expressions, Audrey already understood that this matter was true! Hobert had really defected!
He said at the Tarot Gathering yesterday that he was busy recently. Was he busy defecting?
Audrey sat on the soft seat behind her father, only to hear Earl Wolfe say, "I said long ago that so people are too harsh on Christian."
"That's right." Earl Hall said, "Back then, it was he and Rex who stabilized the situation in East Balam, thus laying the foundation for our hegemonic advantage in the Southern Continent."
"But Christian, who has a high prestige in the army, has not been promoted for more than ten years, which has already aroused dissatisfaction among many people."
Hibbert asked: "Father, who is Rex?"
Earl Hall smoothed his hair with his hand: "That was soone from our era. If... alas, there is no 'if'."
"Maybe Christian has other plans? Or other plots?" Earl Wolfe suddenly said: "Otherwise, Christian would not take his eldest son to take risks together. I have t that young man. His future achievents may surpass his father."
Earl Hall smiled and said: "With Christian's mind, I don't think he would do anything stupid."
"No matter what, they killed the prince," Hibbert said. "They can forget about returning to the Loen Kingdom in this lifeti."
Earl Hall took the opportunity to educate his son: "Don't rush to make judgnts. Nothing is absolute.
"Especially when you don't know much about Christian, you should be more cautious in expressing your opinions. Of course, private conversations like ours can be more casual."
Audrey observed everyone's expressions. Her father and Earl Wolfe didn't seem surprised by this defection, and they seed to have so intention of blaming the royal family.
When the conversation ended, Audrey realized that she should leave. Earl Hall and Earl Wolfe seed to have other things to talk about.
After leaving her father's study, Audrey realized that the protagonist of this defection should be Brigadier General Christian, and Hobert may have just been affected.
The reason for Christian's defection was because he encountered unfair treatnt. Everyone seed to know about this.
No, I have to find a way to confirm it again.
Audrey thought of Xio and Fors, and she quickly told the maid Annie: "Go and ask for leave for at the studio, just say that I have urgent matters today and don't have ti for art class."
She said to another maid: "Go and prepare the carriage. I'm going to the Viscount's residence."
...
"Extra! Extra! Sir Brigadier General Christian defects with his son! His son Hobert is wanted for 10,000 pounds! The King vows to make Christian lose his son!"
Wood District. Jessica, who had just gotten off the public carriage, heard the newsboy's voice.
She quickly went over and bought a newspaper, opening it to read on the street.
"Steam above! They actually killed a prince!"
Even Jessica, who hated nobles, knew the weight of a prince in the Loen Kingdom.
Defected, Lawyer Hobert defected!
Jessica spent about half a minute accepting this fact.
Imdiately afterward, she imdiately thought that Lawyer Hobert had several letters at her place. She was about to quicken her pace, but she forcibly suppressed her thoughts: With such a major defection case, the royal family will definitely launch a series of investigations. Maybe, maybe I am being monitored.
So Jessica tried to endure, maintaining her usual speed, and arrived at the law firm.
As soon as she entered, Rasga and several other lawyers rushed over and asked: "Jessica, Lawyer Hobert... is that true?"
Jessica said: "I don't know the specific situation, just like you!"
She said seriously: "But I want to remind you that no matter what Lawyer Hobert has done, his contribution to the legal profession and the contribution to the people at the bottom of Backlund are indelible!
"Go back to work! Wait for the next arrangent."
Entering her office, closing and locking the door, Jessica showed her panic.
She rushed to her desk in three steps and two strides, found the letter Hobert left her, and when she used a knife to open the letter, the knife fell on the ground because she was a little flustered.
Picking up the knife and trying again, she opened the letter. Jessica quickly read it.
"Jessica:
"When you see this letter, I should have left Backlund. Don't worry about . I was planning to leave Backlund and seek new developnt.
"Give the letter with 'Lawyer Barton' written on it to Barton. In that letter, I will ask Barton to keep our team. I think he should agree.
"I hope you can continue to fight for the interests of the people at the bottom and vulnerable groups in Backlund, and be the light of this era!
"I may implicate you in the investigation, but it should only be surveillance and investigation, because you really don't know anything.
"There are other docunts in the envelope, proving that you will replace in the formulation eting of the 'Labor Law'.
"No law stipulates that the invitation of the parliant will be terminated due to force majeure and other factors, so no matter what earth-shattering things I have done, it will not affect the legality of you replacing to participate in the eting.
"There must be soone to explain those complicated clauses to the workers, of course, you will also accept more severe investigations, and may even cause you to be imprisoned, so the right to choose this matter is up to you.
"Send the other two letters to the address above. I will not repeat the specific precautions.
"If soone sends a letter or looks for , please continue to register it. I will occasionally return to Backlund and return to my office.
"If you have sothing urgent to find , summon my ssenger. The spell is: I,
"Summon in my na:
"A spirit wandering in falsehood, a friendly creature that can be driven, a ssenger that belongs only to Hobert Jeffrey."
"Use the norms of the binary ritual, the spell is in Hers language or other occult language."
"Prepare three donuts before each summon, that is the reward for sending the letter."
"Burn after reading."
The signature is Hobert.
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. Hobert had already made arrangents. It seed that he had been planning this for a long ti.
Then she burned the letter in her hand, put stamps on the letters with "Xio" and "Sherlock" written on them, and sent them out with the letters to the custors.
The letters from the law firm are all express letters, and I believe they will receive them by the afternoon.
Then Jessica took the letter to Barton and went to Barton's office.
...
Backlund, North Borough, in a classical office building not far from the Church of the Evernight Goddess, Daly stopped Leonard, who was holding a newspaper and about to go downstairs: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the security company to ask what happened to Thomas?" Leonard shook the newspaper in his hand: "We chatted last Saturday, and he didn't seem to have any troubles, but how could he suddenly defect?"
Daly smiled and said: "Don't worry, has the church comnted on this matter?"
