Looking at Carey in front of him, Chen Heng understood what was going on in his heart, but on the surface, he had a faint smile and said without changing his expression, "So, why did these people come to assassinate you?"
"I don't know."
A gloomy look appeared on Carey's face. "These assassins are not the ones in the upper echelons. They're just the ones who carry out the deeds. They don't know anything at all, nor do they know who hired them."
"And on that very day, they committed suicide by various means."
Speaking of this, his face was livid, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood about this.
These assassins came from an assassin organization called the Touch of Shadow. Their coming to assassinate this time was clearly not out of boredom but was hired by someone.
And once these assassins died, this clue was directly cut off, and it was impossible to continue the search.
This was a case of "dead men tell no tales."
If these people were from within Kutu Kingdom, it would be okay. With the power of Carey's family, as long as they were willing, they could always find some clues.
But the person who hired them had clearly considered this point.
The Touch of Shadow was an assassin organization from abroad, and it had great power and was famous for its strict confidentiality. It was impossible for it to betray the hirer to Carey's family just because of their power.
So in the end, Carey could only guess.
In front of Chen Heng, he guessed several possible targets one after another and then left with a livid face.
Of course, before leaving, to thank Chen Heng for his previous assistance, he also brought many gifts and even negotiated several business deals with Chen Heng under extremely favorable conditions.
Chen Heng didn't refuse and accepted them directly.
And at this moment, in the inner city of Kutu City, inside the palace.
In a magnificent hall, it was extremely quiet inside.
It was a very spacious place, but there weren't many people around, and it seemed rather deserted.
A woman was sitting alone in the middle of the hall, handling various matters.
The pale golden sunlight shone through the windows on all sides and fell on the woman, making her good figure and snow-white skin look extremely alluring.
She didn't look too old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was very beautiful, wearing a light and thin short robe, sitting there, lost in thought.
At this time, a rush of hurried footsteps came from outside, accompanied by some inexplicable noises as if chickens and dogs were being startled.
Olima couldn't help frowning and looked at the person coming from a distance and said softly, "Vinaer wants to sneak out again?"
"Yes."
Not far away, the servant coming from a distance knelt on one knee on the ground, with a very respectful look on his face. "This is the third time in the past half month."
"Humph."
Olima snorted coldly. "Sneaking out behind my back. Once being assassinated wasn't enough, and she even wants to sneak out a second time."
"Is she tired of living?"
Below, hearing Olima's words, the maid knelt on one knee on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.
On the spot, Olima pinched the space between her eyebrows and then let out a soft sigh and said, "Tell me, she wants to sneak out so frequently. What exactly does she want to do?"
"And tell me carefully about what happened that day."
She pinched the space between her eyebrows and said wearily.
"Yes."
The maid below nodded and then began to speak softly, telling one by one what had happened at the banquet that day.
Listening slowly, Olima couldn't help frowning. "Wait."
"Are you sure that on that night, it was Vinaer who took the initiative to invite others to dance?"
"Yes."
Below, the maid nodded.
"Then, that person happened to take action and saved Vinaer?"
Olima continued to ask.
After getting an affirmative reply, Olima immediately understood something.
"The boring plot of the knight saving the princess."
She shook her head secretly and then subconsciously began to think.
This incident happened quite coincidentally.
Vinaer was her younger sister and also a princess of the Kutu royal family. There were too many people who had reasons to be unfavorable to her.
However, just as Vinaer sneaked out, someone came to assassinate her right away?
Was there something wrong with Carey?
Moreover, it was rather coincidental that Vinaer was assassinated and was just saved by that person.
Was it premeditated?
In an instant, Olima thought of a lot of things.
Compared to Vinaer, she was much older and had seen too many things.
Growing up in the environment of the royal family, she subconsciously doubted everything and instinctively suspected everything.
"Who is that Kailin?"
Then, she continued to ask, inquiring about information on Chen Heng.
Below, in response to Olima's inquiry, the maid had a respectful look on her face and spoke quietly.
From her words, Olima also roughly learned about Chen Heng's past.
"It sounds good."
Listening to Chen Heng's past deeds, Olima's expression softened a little, and she couldn't help nodding at this time. "He comes from a noble family in the south. His family's power is not very great. He's a student of Coribo, has good talent, and is expected to become a knight..."
She nodded secretly. "If there's no problem, he's quite suitable for Vinaer."
As a princess of the royal family, Vinaer was born too late, and there was Olima, her biological elder sister, in front of her.
This doomed her to have little chance in the battle for the royal heir, and not many people would think of supporting her.
And with Princess Vinaer's identity, if she married some of the great nobles in the country, there would be some problems.
Her identity was there. As a princess of the royal family, under the current situation, it was too easy for her to become an excuse to be used by others.
Therefore, in Olima's opinion, the best destination for Vinaer was to marry a noble descendant whose family power was not strong but who himself had extraordinary abilities.
A knight from a small noble family in the south was the most suitable.
Of course, although it seemed suitable in Olima's opinion, as for the specific situation, it still needed careful consideration.
"What's that Knight Kailin like in other aspects?"
While thinking, she subconsciously knocked on the table and then asked, "Are there any disputes? For example, does he have some inexplicable fiancée or something?"
As nobles, in order to strengthen the power of their own families, many families would arrange marriages for their heirs when they were still young to obtain the support of other families.
Besides, considering the chaos in the noble circle, all kinds of affairs about maids and mistresses were also in a mess.
Influenced by her mother, Olima herself had several lovers.
For the person her younger sister liked, she wouldn't mind if he had some entanglements with others in the past, but he definitely couldn't have a fiancée or something like that, otherwise it would be too troublesome to deal with.
