Saiken stared wide-eyed, na na said:
"You...you have already seen it?"
Colin smiled calmly, and said, "From the fact that you deliberately pushed Nina away, I guess something is wrong."
"Then you still come here with me?"
"I want to give you another chance. After all, I always think that you are also a victim of Mr. Xie."
Saiken opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while.
Ke Lin then restrained his smile again, and said coldly: "But if you continued to walk in just now, I will kill you with a sword, and then turn around and leave."
Saiken was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head to look into Colin's eyes again, and said sincerely:
"My lord, thank you!"
Ke Lin smiled faintly and said, "Okay, tell me, what kind of trap is set inside? And who instructed you to lead me here?"
Seeming to have finally untied the knot in his heart, Saiken said without hesitation:
"My lord, there is a book on the second row of bookshelves in the third room that hides poisonous smoke. As long as you open this book, even if you don't die immediately, you will lose the ability to resist.
And the person who set this trap was his father's handmaiden—Kardina Knight. "
"Cardina?" Colin thought of the maid who had been standing quietly behind Franco, helping him push the wheelchair.
"Yes." Saiken nodded, and added, "Actually, she is still my father's lover. After my father committed suicide by taking poison this time, she came to me and wanted me to assist her in completing her revenge against you."
"Lover?" Colin rubbed his chin and asked again, "I remember that she also swore allegiance to me before, so is she also a knight of the Morrison family?"
"She is a loyal knight of the Morrison family, but her surname is not Morrison."
"Then what family does she belong to?"
"I don't know." Saiken shook his head. "It is said that she is a wandering knight taken in by her father, but she has never disclosed her surname publicly."
"Then how long has she been in the Phoenix Butterfly Castle?"
"Probably..." Saiken thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "It has been about ten years."
Ke Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "By the way, where is your mother? Why have I never seen her before?"
Saiken was stunned, but still replied: "Mother has been dead for many years."
"Do you remember when she died?"
"It was also ten years ago..." At this point, Sekken paused, as if realizing something, "Master Earl, do you suspect that the death of your mother is related to Kadina?"
Colin shrugged and said, "You should know this better than me."
Saken suddenly became excited and clenched his fists, as if explaining to Colin, but also as if telling himself: "That's right, Cardina is really suspicious now!
Mother had been in good health before, but since Kadina came to Swallowtail Castle, she began to deteriorate day by day, until she finally died of illness.
I had never connected Cardina's arrival with my mother's death before, but now it seems that this timing coincidence is too strange!
Kadina may be extremely suspicious of her mother's death! "
Ke Lin listened silently to Saiken's venting, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar—
Didn't a similar bloody plot happen in the home of Earl Uman, the lord of Fallen Eagle City
Could this Cadina be another Penny Santheon
However, there are some differences.
Penny gave birth to a child for Earl Uman, and let the illegitimate child replace the real legitimate son, planning to play a trick of dove occupying the magpie's nest.
But Cardina did not give birth to a child for Franco, and the Seken Morrison in front of her was Franco's only child.
Of course, this may be because the paralyzed Franco has lost his fertility...
Even if Cardina wanted to learn from senior Penny, she was powerless.
Colin looked at the furious Saken, and suddenly felt lucky for this ignorant boy. If his father was still alive, he probably wouldn't be in the position of Earl Morrison.
But the two of them should have one thing in common—they are both chess pieces buried by Mr. Xie!
Penny is the younger sister of Mr. Xie, and this Kadina probably has a close relationship with Mr. Xie, and she should also be a remnant of the San Theon family.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid even Franco's "suicide by taking poison" has some problems—
Did he really commit suicide? Or forced to commit suicide
Thinking of this, Colin asked again: "After your father's accident, the person who discovered the situation at the first time should be the Cadina knight, right?"
"Yes, she was the first to discover her father..." Sekon nodded, and then his expression changed drastically, as if he had finally come to his senses, "You think father didn't commit suicide? He was poisoned by Kadina?"
Colin shrugged again, and said: "It's possible. I suspect that she was sent by Mr. Qu to monitor the Morrison family, so after I deprived the Morrison family of titles, Cardina harbored resentment and was likely to Let Franco 'take poison and kill himself', in order to completely intensify the hatred of the Morrison family members towards me.
It's a pity that she didn't expect Mrs. Grace to be so decisive, and she has such a high prestige in the Morrison family, that she forced everyone to be loyal to me. "
Immediately, Colin glanced at Saiken again, and said, "Of course, she didn't get nothing, at least she succeeded in provoking your hatred for me."
Saken was both ashamed and angry at the same time, and the expression on his face became a little ferocious. Hearing this, he growled viciously:
"My lord, please catch her immediately and interrogate her severely! I want to know how my father died?"
Ke Lin shook his head slowly, and said, "This kind of person is determined, and coercive interrogation may not be effective."
"Then what should we do?" Sekken was a little anxious.
Ke Lin smiled confidently, and said, "I have a better way, but I just need you to cooperate with me in a play."
Saiken's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "No problem, as long as I can know the truth about my father's death, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Okay. Then you pretend I didn't see the trap."
Saiken seemed to understand what Colin meant, but he still reminded:
"My lord, you must remember that the one hiding the poisonous smoke is a book called "The Origin of the Golden-tailed Swallowtail Emblem" on the second shelf in the third room."
"Okay, I see." Colin smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal Saiken to continue walking in.
Saiken stepped into the library, took Colin to the third room, pointed to a book on the second row of bookshelves and said:
"My lord, the secrets about the Morrison family that I want to tell you are hidden in this book."
"Okay, let me take a look." Colin nodded, but he didn't go to get the book that Sekon deliberately pointed out, but took down the "Origin of the Golden-tailed Swallowtail Badge".
Saiken was stunned for a moment, thinking that Colin hadn't remembered his words clearly before, and blinked repeatedly as a warning.
But Ke Lin didn't seem to see the warning from Seken at all, and opened the book directly.
puff!
A cloud of miserable green smoke suddenly burst out from the book, instantly enveloping Colin's entire head.
