Caitlin was very politely taken to the entrance of Aledo's restaurant. When Tora went in to report, there was only one careless guard following her. Although there was only one person, the other person's face looked rogue and vicious.

The way Caitlin played with the knife in his hand made it easy for Caitlin to guess that he was an assassin. Although there was only one person, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

But then again, just arranging a guard seemed to really not want to "pay attention" to her performance as an assassin. Caitlin even met several full-time maids who were also hired by Aledo along the way. Ordinarily, this group of

The people should be serving His Royal Highness the Prince in the restaurant now, but now they are clearly being pushed away and away from the restaurant, and Caitlin does not see any panic from their expressions of talking and laughing, but

This also clearly shows that Aledo in the restaurant was not poisoned at all.

Caitlin felt a little regretful now. Of course, she didn't regret that she came to poison Aledo, but she regretted why she didn't use more caution when she poisoned her before, because Caitlin thought that Aledo was probably the one who poisoned her when she was found out.

What special way to detect poison? The lich poison in your hand is actually more concealed when mixed into wine than when mixed into food. But now it is meaningless. After all, the assassination failed and

She was also arrested. Although Caitlin did have some options now, her hope was slim. For this reason, the only thing she could do was to make herself suffer as little torture as possible. After thinking of this, Caitlin subconsciously raised her hand and touched the hanging

A small pendant on his chest.

After waiting for a short while, Tola came out and took Caitlin into the restaurant. But then a scene that surprised Caitlin appeared, because she saw Aledo Solis with her own eyes.

He drank the poisonous mushroom broth that night with a spoon. No, it should be said to be the second bowl. From the empty plate next to him, it can be seen that he had already drank it before.

A whole bowl of poisonous soup.

Caitlin initially thought this was Aledo's trick. After all, he didn't believe that someone could treat Lich Poison as a condiment and feast on it, so she thought it was Aledo deliberately deceiving her. But when she saw it with her own eyes

After watching Aledo pick up the bowl and drink all the remaining poisonous soup, she stopped thinking about it, because she didn't think Aledo would prepare another poisonous soup in advance for her to perform. By the way, this kind of mushroom

The cooking time of the broth is still very long, so even temporary preparation is unrealistic. In addition, after Caitlin got closer, she could tell from the smell that the portion Aledo drank was the poisonous soup she cooked.

Therefore, she must accept this helpless reality no matter how unwilling she is.

"No...impossible..." Caitlin asked unwillingly: "Why weren't you poisoned?"

"You're not right." Aledo wiped his lips with a napkin, and at the same time he extended his hand very politely to indicate that Caitlin should sit in the guest seat. However, after seeing that Caitlin did not make any move, Aledo signaled again

Let Tola help the "assassin" sit down and then said calmly: "You thought wrong just now. In fact, I have been poisoned. And the poison you used is a bit strong, so I may become a little uncomfortable later."

"Uncomfortable? Is that it?" Caitlin, who was forcibly pressed on the chair, looked at Aledo, who was smiling at the moment, in confusion. She watched him drink the highly poisoned soup with her own eyes, and

He should have been poisoned to death long ago. Even if his internal organs were not completely corrupted, he would at least be rolling on the ground in pain and wailing.

"Lich Poison... Is this the poison you used? It's such a nostalgic taste..." Aledo poured himself a glass of fragrant gin, then stood up and walked over to Caitlin with the silver wine glass in hand.

"I remember the last time I ate lich poison was when I was 12 years old. The maid at that time mixed the lich poison into jam and made me eat it. As a result, I vomited."

It lasted a whole day and finally fell into a coma due to dehydration. The final result of that incident was that my father framed my personal maid and took the opportunity to execute her. That was the last trustworthy servant my mother left for me. Unexpectedly

In the end, we ended up like this..."

Caitlin, who was listening to Aledo telling the past events, arrived and was a little scared, because she felt that if Aledo was telling the truth, then he might have some special abilities or physique that could prevent him from being poisoned, or maybe

It can defuse the damage caused by poison to his body. But no matter which possibility it is, Aledo at this moment is undoubtedly like a monster in Caitlin's eyes, because he is a person who cannot die from poison, and such a person

It is difficult to be recognized as an ordinary human being by others.

The world is full of wonders. Although Caitlin has never traveled far in the past, she has heard many legendary stories or far-away anecdotes sung by bards. Among them, there are also some people who are born with certain special abilities. For example,

Some people are weak in appearance but have the strength to fight bears. There are also people who are born with dull minds but have photographic memory or the ability to learn things instantly. What's more, there are those who are born with the ability to communicate with other races or

The ability to control certain monsters, etc. Although many of these rumors are exaggerated, it does not mean that they are all fiction. At least after seeing some special cases, Caitlin naturally became interested in this.

This kind of thing has a certain foundation of trust, because her mother Auriel is born with the ability to communicate with animals.

Of course, in addition to the above possibility, there is another possibility that Aledo has some powerful magic props that can remove the poison. However, judging from his story and origin, it is obviously better than the former.

It's even more unrealistic, because it's very hard for Solis to find a magician, let alone a magic prop, and Aledo doesn't look like a person who can use magic props, because he has certain magic qualifications.

Caitlin did not feel the fluctuation of magic power in Aledo's body.

"Hmm... That's interesting. You don't seem surprised at all by this kind of thing." Aledo playfully took another glass and poured Caitlin a glass of gin before asking: "Have you seen something like this before?

Is this a person like me? Someone born with some special ability."

"My... mother." Caitlin picked it up without hesitation and took a sip of the mellow and fragrant spirit. The light fruity aroma contained in the wine also proved how extraordinary the quality of this wine was. Kate

Lin was not worried at all about what Aledo would do with this glass of wine. It was obvious that he came to her to get some information. For this reason, Caitlin, who felt that this was in line with her plan, also said calmly: "I

My mother was born with the ability to communicate with various animals, and the sounds of various animals were just words in her ears..."

Aledo nodded with a "Sure enough" look, and then he couldn't wait to ask about the whereabouts of the other party's mother. However, he did not say this question in the end because he felt that Caitlin was not the kind of person who accepted the question.

An assassin who works with money, her calmness makes Aledo a little unsure, but it is not difficult to understand that the reason that prompted her to come to assassinate is probably the belief of "revenge". And just now Tora also reported about Kate

Lin's known information, and the other party had just said before that she was the daughter of a noble general, so it is obvious that his father should have died in the war, and her mother should be gone too, otherwise this would look like nothing

A girl who is not yet underage will not come to assassinate her with the belief that she will die.

Aledo's sudden silence made the atmosphere in the restaurant a little subtle, but he quickly reacted and continued to observe Caitlin's appearance with a smile. However, it seemed that the result made Aledo feel a little disappointed, because he had already

Judging from the details of Caitlin's skin and hair, she doesn't look like an aristocratic girl. Although it is indeed better than that of ordinary civilians, the slight roughness on her palms and the split ends of her hair are enough.

It is obvious that Caitlin often does some manual labor, but she does not look like a farmer who is exposed to the sun.

"Are you from a military town?" Aledo asked.

"Yes." Caitlin shook the empty glass at Aledo and was signaled for a refill. Her calmness made Tola, who was standing behind and guarding her, feel very dissatisfied.

"You said you were the daughter of a noble general..." Aledo casually picked up the wine bottle and poured Caitlin another glass of wine. At the same time, he also quietly observed the subtle expression changes on the other person's face.

and try to discover if she is lying.

"Yes, my father is an honorary baron and leads a force of 2,000 troops in the northern garrison." Caitlin gently swung the wine glass and smiled at Aledo with a slightly red face and said

: "His troops were stationed at the Salanka Pass, the same troops you killed when you invaded the principality."

There is no general among the military positions in the Principality of Michael. In fact, only two countries among the seven human kingdoms have this position, and the armies of these two countries have been reformed by reincarnations. For this reason

Only then did we have those corresponding job titles. Caitlin claimed to be the daughter of a certain general, so before Aledo subconsciously thought of the central army of the Principality of Michael, the standing army commanders under the personal jurisdiction of Archduke Michael, because that was

Only these people will occasionally be called "generals". But now it seems that I have misunderstood. In fact, in the principality or the old army of the Solis Kingdom, they basically have the right to manage a completely wrong army.

Officers are also called this by others, so according to this, Caitlin's father should be a garrison officer or higher.

But no matter what it was, what she said basically confirmed that his father died in the battle of Salanca Pass. Because in order to quickly invade the principality, Aledo issued a rough strategy of letting artillery clear the way.

Although the battle lasted a short time, relatively few people were left alive. However, Aledo did remember the bravery of the garrison armed with swords when facing his own volleys of guns. Although

At that time, Aledo dismissed this behavior as stupid, but when he was defeated and retreated and returned to the pass fortress that night, Aledo went to the grave of the garrison who was hastily buried with lingering fear.

A glass of wine and an apology.

As the war progressed, Aledo got to know the other side of the world more truly. The "superior" mentality in his heart in the past also gradually began to lower, and now he no longer dares to act casually.

They despised the Principality of Michael and its army, and even the garrison of the second-line army had a certain degree of respect. After all, in the battle to break through the pass fortress, none of Michael's garrison surrendered, except for

Except for a small number of organized retreats, all the rest died in battle. Even those who were forcibly captured later found ways to die with their own soldiers, so for this reason alone, they deserved their respect.

"So, you came to assassinate me to avenge your father? Where is your mother?" Aledo finally couldn't help but ask.

"On the day the Pass Fortress fell, a bird brought my mother the news of my father's death. She was too sad to survive, so she went to accompany my father that night. And when it got dark, I had just

When she was buried, your army came to the gate of the town... My relatives, my friends, my neighbors... everyone was executed by you..." Caitlin raised her head and looked at the somewhat surprised

Aledo, then she drank all the strong wine in the glass and smashed the glass glass on the table with a little boldness. Then she ignored the pain of the fragments cutting her fingers and rashly picked up a sharp glass fragment and directly

He stabbed Aledo in the throat and shouted inarticulately: "You have ruined everything for me! Go to hell, you damn butcher!"

Caitlin didn't show the sadness she deserved at all when she talked about what happened to her, but Aledo saw hatred in her eyes, so he predicted on the spot that Caitlin might take risks and made preparations in advance.

It's just that Tora is not Morana. She can't rush in front of her in an instant to stop Caitlin's second round of assassination. Moreover, Tora is too loyal to Aledo. For this reason, she may subconsciously rescue herself.

He broke Caitlin's neck, so Aledo quickly waved her away to keep her away.

Fortunately, it seems that Caitlin was too drunk, so she got up and stabbed in a wrong position. The sharp glass fragments scratched the side of Aledo's neck. Although the skin was broken and bleeding, it was not an injury at all, and Kate

Lin seemed to have only this one chance and strength, because her movements became quite sluggish after the stabbing blow. Although her eyes still revealed endless hatred, her movements were shaky like a drunkard.

, so Aledo can handle it calmly even if his skills are very ordinary.

Caitlin did become a little mentally numb due to alcohol, but although she was very healthy, she was still an ordinary small town girl. Although she could do some hard work, she was a complete layman when it came to fighting. She was slow in movement and had a tough time.

With blurred consciousness, this second round of assassination with the determination to die seemed a bit funny to Aledo, but although he felt so in his heart, he would not say it openly because he felt that Caitlin was already tragic enough.

, if she is laughed at by her enemies again, it is very possible that she will choose to commit suicide.

It is true that Aledo does not intend to kill the assassin at this moment, because the war against the principality is over now, and there is no need to continue to retaliate against himself against the residents of the principality. After all, he has really ordered the killing of many.

A civilian, but Aledo is not willing to really become a butcher with a cold heart. War is cruel, especially in this kind of alien world where humanistic thinking is still roughly in the medieval era, although many reincarnations have brought

Although he had learned some modern thoughts, it did not make the locals too ignorant, but after the war, being accused of "war crimes" by the enemy's civilians was still a bit unbearable for Aledo.

As for Caitlin's assassination, Aledo believed that it was appropriate. She was qualified to assassinate herself to avenge her relatives and friends. Of course, she was not the only one, but also the survivors of the entire military town in the Principality of Michael or the Bar Plains.

They are all qualified to assassinate themselves, but they will naturally take precautions against assassinating themselves. For this reason, any failed assassination of Aledo will basically not embarrass the assassin too much.

This is an era of jungle. If Caitlin's assassination succeeds, it can only mean that Aledo is too weak and does not deserve to have the previous wish. But if Caitlin's assassination fails, then he will let these assassins go.

And continues to execute his ambition. After all, Aledo is too far away from his ultimate goal, especially now that he has seen the reality clearly, he feels that maybe he may not be able to achieve it even if he spends his whole life. But even if Aledo

In this way, he still has to face any obstacles and continue to move forward on this thorny road. For this reason, small things like vendettas no longer matter to him. The more critical point is that Aledo feels that Caitlin's

It is very possible that my mother is a reincarnation like myself, because the baseless ability to talk to animals is obviously unlikely to be the result of some magic influence, so it can only be the so-called reincarnation who was possessed by gods after coming here...

...some kind of gift from Severna.
