Chapter 323 Last Chance
Tai Chi came by a few days ago.
This is the name of Annie's black and white parrot.
It seems Annie treats it like a pet, otherwise she wouldn't have given it a name.
Anne then used Tai Chi to pour out her heart to Aaron.
As usual, Aaron answered all of Anne's questions, then reminded her to take care of herself, and then told her some interesting stories.
If Aaron were to write a lengthy treatise for Anne, he could probably write an entire book without repeating himself.
But a piece of paper can only hold so much information. Besides, Aaron didn't want the emotions conveyed to Annie through words to be too heavy. But then again, the black and white parrot is really useful.
In the past, it would take at least two months for a single round trip between Aaron and Anne's correspondence.
But with this parrot, the duration was reduced to more than ten days.
Aaron took out a few slices of bread, spread some jam on them, and made do with a simple meal.
It's really hard to get used to living alone again.
A few days ago, Cathy told Dick that she wanted to give him a "glorious death," and Aaron knew what Cathy was planning.
Before Dick arrived, Aaron received a letter from Count Morgan.
Through the discussion of this letter, Aaron learned that his access to and from the plateau was strictly controlled by Gulveig.
With the help of a tower and a powerful warrior, Gulveig was able to achieve his goals at minimal cost.
To break the stalemate on the plateau, the first thing needed is not the loyalty of soldiers or certain nobles.
Rather, it's about intelligence. Only when information flows freely can we accurately grasp the situation on the plateau, thereby formulating correct and reasonable plans before proceeding.
Therefore, the tower had to be torn down, and the soldier could not be left behind.
However, with the untimely death of Pegasus Byrne, Kathy lost the person who could help him solve this predicament.
It wasn't until Dick appeared that Aaron realized he was the perfect choice to help Casey resolve this predicament.
However, although Aaron foresaw this step a long time ago.
But he didn't mention it to Casey.
This is, after all, his goal, and he has to learn to think about it himself.
Kathy has been at the library for over a year now, and he should have grown a lot by now. This is the perfect time to test his thinking.
While Dick was chasing after the fleeing Peggy, Cathy came to Aaron to ask about the tower.
Aaron immediately understood that Kathy had lived up to expectations and had thought of that aspect.
However, while we may have these thoughts, no one can predict whether things will actually go as planned.
Finally, at Peggy's almost pleading insistence, Dick knelt before Kathy.
Even so, the knight still refused to lower his head.
Therefore, the price Cassie offered was—death in battle.
In other words, either the tower or Dick must fall.
In retrospect, this may be the best outcome for the incident so far.
Everyone adhered to their principles, but their criticisms were all directed at a problem that needed to be solved.
That's why there was only one person in the library.
Dick accepted Cathy's request and immediately set off to fulfill his promise.
Peggy insisted on keeping up, even though she knew she was a burden.
Her reason was simple: Dick was going to die in battle, and she wanted to witness his death with her own eyes.
Dick seemed to have no skill in dealing with Peggy's tears, and in the end, he had no choice but to agree.
Kathy also decided to go along, her reason being to oversee the battle.
At the same time, since it was related to his own career, he felt obligated to go to the plateau.
Kathy said he had been running away for too long and he couldn't keep hiding forever.
He felt this was also an opportunity for him to take a step forward on his own.
Since Cassie is leaving, Harriet will naturally follow in order to protect Cassie's safety.
Of course, Aaron believed that there was another unspoken reason why Kathy chose to follow.
Since Casey has already given Dick a chance to live, whether Dick ultimately lives or dies is no longer that important to Casey.
On the contrary, taking down the fortress and killing the warrior under Gulweg was more valuable to Kathy.
Given this, with Harriet as a high-quality assistant, Dick's chances of success will undoubtedly increase significantly.
If Cathy goes, Harriet will go too.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense for Harriet to take action against the enemies who were helping to deal with Cassie.
Of course, these are all Aaron's speculations.
Aaron didn't know whether Kathy could actually think that deeply.
However, there is no doubt that Casey has made progress.
The library became empty again.
But at least Aaron doesn't have to eat dog food every day anymore.
Suddenly, another black and white parrot landed on the parrot stand.
Aaron frowned slightly.
Aaron recognized the parrot from its black and white markings as the one he had given to Kendrick.
After marrying Margaret, he went to the western part of the kingdom.
That's why Aaron specifically asked Kendrick to help investigate something.
After landing, the parrot immediately began relaying information:
"Mr. Mosley, Margaret and I have been getting along very well lately. I have apologized to the families of several people I persecuted in the past, and they have forgiven me. I am also trying my best to make it up to them."
"
"By the way, sir, I recently arrived at the Lorraine Plains, a land that has been ruled by the Lorraine family since ancient times."
"However, for decades now, all the dukes here have been women." When I tried to inquire about the current Duke of the Plains, I received an unexpected answer—
"Duke Brianna Lorraine was recently assassinated, and square characters have appeared at the site of her death—"
"I believe this is the work of the Block Alliance, and with the death of this duchess, the atmosphere on the plains' borders has become very delicate. There might be a conflict soon—"
Aaron frowned upon hearing the parrot's words.
The Block Alliance no longer sends assassination files to Aaron, so he knows nothing about it.
Aaron frowned, immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter, instructing Kendrick to go to Draco and request detailed information about the assassination attempt.
Miss Brianna is dead again?!
Aaron could still feel the curse that Brianna had planted in his body.
However, this curse has weakened many times.
At present, it has almost disappeared.
So, does that mean Miss Brianna didn't die completely, and that the curse weakens with each death?
What exactly was the content of her curse?
Sensing the dying curse, Aaron walked up to Miss Brianna's portrait.
Miss, could it be—
Is this my last chance to find out the truth?
