Roland Hill fell from the sky, and the oncoming night wind flowed past her ears. The gentle wind pressure brought a sense of comfort. No matter how many times, she never got tired of this feeling of walking through the wind.
Slowly landed on the balcony, the pure white dress floated up with the airflow, and then slowly fell again, the emerald pupils flowed like gems at night, and then gradually dissipated the light and returned to normal. There was no sound during the period, and under the keen perception, he easily avoided the sight of the guards in the courtyard.
Gently walked into the bedroom, the door was still locked, her fingers swiped in the air, a breeze swept through, and the candle went out. Then he opened the window, the night wind swirled in the bedroom, and the air that had been intoxicated before was cleared up. Finally, he closed the curtains, lay on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.
The night was extra peaceful and sweet.
When Roland Hill walked out of the bedroom early the next morning, the four maids outside the door still greeted her as usual.
They first brought hot water and let Roland Hill wash her face, and then one of them helped the girl comb her hair and tied the two strands of hair beside her ears into long slender braids. The last light red bow, which was slightly girlish, finally fell from the middle, reaching the back of the spine, higher than the other waist-length hair.

Roland Hill shook his head at the mirror, his long golden hair rubbed against the red dress and fell like silk.
"Pell, you took care of my hair so well."
"The eldest miss has won the prize. In fact, your hair is perfect. I just tidied it up a little."
"Well, but is it better than nothing?"
"Yes." The maid finally adjusted Roland Hill's hair before putting down the comb.
"How long has Pell been to Carrites?" the girl asked after looking at the mirror.
"It's been 5 years, because my father followed Lord Angus to the north and south, so I was able to enter the headquarters smoothly."
"Is the maid's work hard?"
"Unfortunately, the headquarter has plenty of manpower and is not in short supply. We often have time to rest."
"That's it."
Then Lorraine Hill walked into the restaurant, where Chelsea was already waiting.
"Morning miss."
"Chelsea early."
According to the usual arrangement, these maids will leave temporarily. During the breakfast, Chelsea will report something, but today Loren Hill let Pell stay.
When Lorraine Hill and Chelsea were talking, she stood by, calm at first, then more and more uneasy, her long legs wrapped in white stockings began to tremble slightly.
Lorraine Hill continued to ask Chelsea about the investigation into yesterday's assassination, and then slowly discussed the motives of the Hellis family's escort for the assassination.
"Pell, why do you think those whose family members and relatives are working in the Chamber of Commerce betrayed? Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce treats him badly?"
"I... .. I don't know..." Pell's body trembled, his face was pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
"That's it."
Roland Hill took a sip of hot tea and slowly thought about what to do with the maid who poisoned the candles in the dinner and the room.
"There are some remote islands in the southern youngberry kingdom. The branch there is always short of staff. Would you like to work there for 20 years?"
"I do, I do."
She knelt on the ground trembling, grabbed the ground with her head, and choked up.
"Okay, pack up today and say hello to your parents and family. Their lives will be as usual and won't be affected by you."
"Thank you, miss, I... I'm sorry for you."
She knelt on the ground, her eyes were flushed, her tears couldn't stop, and her forehead was covered with dust and bruises.
"Then, that's it." After speaking, Roland Hill got up and left the restaurant where the crying sounded.
Chelsea called several other maids from outside the door to follow Pell before leaving with Lorraine Hill.
The two walked through the corridor in the courtyard, but the head maid still did not ask, which made the girl curious.
"Sister Chelsea, aren't you curious about what happened just now?"
"Why do you need to explain to me what the eldest miss wants to do?" Chelsea's words were smooth.
It's not good, the head maid's sister is actually angry, Roland Hill turned her head and looked at the head maid who was wearing glasses and smart clothes.
"sorry."
"Why do you want to apologize to me, Miss, you are the master."
"I'm sorry~" Lorraine Hill wanted to get through.
"Hey... Miss, you are always like this, and it was the same on that rainy night. Can't you take care of yourself?"
"What if Pell still has a backer, what if there are other accomplices, and when something happens to you, what will a big chamber of commerce do?"
Chelsea expressed their worries and dissatisfaction.
But I know she has no backers, and there are no other accomplices among the maids, Roland Hill thought to himself, but he couldn't explain how he knew, so he nodded and said yes.
Afterwards, the two talked all the way, and finally came to the study room of the Chamber of Commerce, which is where Lorraine Hill usually works.
After finishing some affairs, Lorraine Hill asked Chelsea to invite Ceres to come over. During the spare time, she began to slowly recall the life of the old housekeeper.
When he was young, he was a small noble of the West Wind. Later, he joined the army and became an officer in the West Wind's war against the barbarians. After the war, he worked as a mercenary for a period of time. Later, he met Angus. The two became confidants and assisted Angus. The management of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce is the core figure of Karites. He is sophisticated, careful, and rarely makes mistakes, and has been recognized by most of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Miss, I'm here." Ceres walked into the room, interrupting Roland Hill's memories.
"Well, Uncle Ceres. Last time I asked you to investigate Mrs. Mera's past. Did you make any progress?"
"There have been some results. Mrs. Mera's family, whose ancestors were aristocrats from the West Wind, had their fiefs in the Verga area, but by the time of her father's generation, it had already declined. When he was a child, his father did some small business and did not make much money. money, so life is relatively poor.”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Mr. Angus met Mrs. Mela at a banquet, because at that time, Lord Angus had just brought Karites into the top core of Verga, and he also won one of the 26 seats in the guild, With high spirits, he often participates in banquets invited by various families, and integrates into this circle.”
"After a certain banquet, he was very drunk and fell into the garden outside the banquet hall. At that time, Mrs. Mera happened to pass by and was about to help him, but he was entangled by the drunk Mr. Angus. Affectionately, Mrs. Meera got pregnant unexpectedly."
"At first, Angus did not agree with this matter, thinking it was a conspiracy of other chambers of commerce. Later, he gradually became familiar with Mrs. Mera's character and slowly accepted it. However, because he loved the deceased Mrs. Yuan, he never publicly acknowledged the relationship. , just sent someone to take care of Mrs. Mera and helped her father achieve several profitable businesses."
"What happened after that?"
"Later, after Mrs. Mera's father tasted the sweetness, he asked Lord Angus to help many times, and then he became addicted to gambling and asked for more and more things. In the end, Mr. Angus taught him a lesson. After a few meals, he slowly calmed down, and now he is no longer in business, and guards several manors in the countryside, relying on this to live a comfortable and nourishing life."
"It turns out that Uncle Ceres investigated in detail."
Loren Hill stood up, walked slowly to the windowsill, and turned around.
"Unfortunately, you didn't tell the truth."
At this time, six sword-wielding guards rushed into the study, and with the friction of the armor, they surrounded the old housekeeper of the Chamber of Commerce with their swords facing each other, while two of them stood in front of Roland Hill to prevent Violent injury.
