"Good morning. And where is Mr. Dantès?" Audrey asked with a polite smile, addressing the young servant of Loen and Eastern Balam mixed blood.
Enyuni bowed and said: "He went to the washroom and will be back soon, noble miss. Will you wait here?"
"Okay." Audrey sat down on a single sofa, her mind filled with a variety of thoughts.
Frankly, if it were just about dealing with Hewn Lambis, she already had a specific plan: hypnotize herself in advance, and when Hewn Lambis came for feedback, activate without "malice" the talisman given by "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, and then cooperate with that crazy adventurer to hunt a demigod.
Hmph, to make sure there's no problem, she could also ask Lady "The Hermit" for help. She is already a demigod and can lie in wait, working together with Mr. "The World" at the critical moment. In that case, Hewn Lambis should have no chance to escape... Audrey bit her lip, suppressing the urge to grind her teeth.
As for how "The Hermit" could come to
But even if Hewn Lambis couldn't escape and revealed the murderer, the Psychological Alchemists would have ample reason to suspect the last person this demigod had contact with, namely Audrey herself.
And that would mean endless troubles ahead... Audrey's eyes shifted, trying to calm herself.
At that moment, Dwayne Dantès, with graying temples and a refined temperament, returned from the washroom and greeted the aristocratic lady waiting for him with a smile.
After instructing his personal valet, Enyuni, to stand guard by the door, the wealthy man glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on Audrey: "You seem to be having some difficulty?"
Audrey didn't try to interpret Mr. "The World"'s actions and responded candidly: "Yes..."
She described the recent events, picking out the key points, and at the end said: "What should I do to truly solve the problem?"
Truly solving the problem meant leaving no lingering consequences.
Klein smiled and said: "Why not discuss it with those two ladies?"
That's right! Just like Mr. "The Moon," she could request a small private communication... Hmm, "Judgment" Xio and "The Magician" Fors, who are already involved, must participate. Besides them, she should invite Mr. "The World," Mr. "The Hanged Man," Lady "The Hermit," and Mr. "The Moon." Actually, forget Mr. "The Moon"... Audrey felt a bit rejuvenated.
At that moment, she felt like she wasn't fighting alone.
"I understand." A slight smile appeared on Audrey's face as she nodded.
She then thought of another question and quickly took the opportunity to ask: "What is Hewn Lambis's purpose in making me stop avoiding the princes and praising them in front of my parents?"
Klein thought for a moment and said: "It might be to show a surface-level friendliness, to win over your father, hinting at the
"I see..." Audrey didn't have much objection to Mr. "The World"'s explanation, because stripping away the outer layer of Beyonder powers, it was essentially the politics she was familiar with.
She didn't stay any longer, returned to her office, and after handling routine matters, used the noon break to pray to Mr. Fool, requesting a small gathering.
............
Above the boundless gray-white mist, streaks of deep red light rose around the ancient bronze table.
"Justice" Audrey looked around, stood up, and bowed to the other members: "Everyone, there's something I would like your advice on."
"Sounds urgent," "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slightly.
"Justice" Audrey sat down and said: "Yes."
She then looked at "Judgment" Xio and "The Magician" Fors: "I ran into Hewn Lambis this morning. He hypnotized me to help him do two things and forget that he came."
