Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the empty treasury.
Leon looked at the twin maids kneeling on the ground, a meaningful expression on his face.
“You didn’t intend to kill us from the start, did you? Otherwise, under the threat of the Ice Witch, we would have no chance to fight back. You were just testing us, wanting to see how many methods and abilities we possessed. Now you have tested the results.”
Anna said with a calm expression.
“Oh? What are the results?”
Leon asked curiously.
“I am good at thinking, and my sister is good at assassination. We are the talents you need.”
Anna said with certainty.
Annie never doubted her sister’s analysis.
Leon found that Anna was truly smart. This was evident from the way she cooperated with him to persuade Bank Emissary Emran earlier. Sometimes, with just a look from him, she could figure out what he wanted to do, for example, presenting the Lord’s Seal as collateral.
Such a smart maid was exactly the secretary he needed.
Therefore, no matter who sent her or what her purpose was, Leon decided to use this pawn.
As for Annie, who was good at assassination, didn’t this mean he had another bodyguard by his side?
“Not bad, accurate analysis.”
Leon clapped his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, “Then, let’s make a deal.”
This familiar line made Sophie’s body tremble slightly. Could it be that Lord Leon was also going to clear entries for them?
“What deal?”
Anna raised her head, her beautiful eyes slightly flashing.
Annie also looked at Leon curiously.
“I will return your freedom, and you will pledge your loyalty to me.”
Leon did not see entries like 【Loyalty】 on them, proving that they lacked loyalty even to their affiliated organization. This meant they did not voluntarily become spies and infiltrate Green Shade Territory, and could be negotiated with.
So, what did 【Spy】【Assassin】 crave the most? It must be freedom! Because their lives had been controlled by others from the start, becoming pawns in the hands of others, so they craved freedom.
“Freedom?”
Anna and Annie were both stunned.
This word truly struck their hearts directly.
“Yes, no one is born a 【Spy】 or 【Assassin】. The organization that trained you must have also deprived you of your freedom. Now I will return this freedom to you.”
Leon said.
“How will you return it?”
Anna looked at Leon suspiciously.
A trace of uncertainty also flashed in Annie’s eyes.
Can he really do it?
Should I believe him?
Leon looked at the twins and said, “There are two paths, you choose yourselves.”
“Path one, I will not ask about your past. Whatever you have done before is irrelevant to me. We will only talk about the present. You will become my loyal employees, and I will become your generous boss. You will no longer be spies or assassins, but simply subjects of Green Shade Territory, enjoying all the free rights of subjects.”
“Path two, tell me about your past. I will help you completely cut off the past. From now on, we will become intimate partners.”
Hiding the past and cutting off the past.
Anna and Annie fell into deep thought.
Anna leaned more towards the former, but she knew that hidden secrets would eventually be revealed, and the person who hid them would eventually appear.
Annie leaned more towards the latter, but she knew the price was huge. What if the new Lord went back on his word after she spoke?
In fact, there was also a third path before Anna and Annie.
From the corner of their eyes, they saw Sophie. She was still expressionless, like a cold sculpture.
That’s right, the third path was to refuse the deal with Leon and forever be on the run, becoming a target for everyone.
Smart people would not choose the third path.
This was a psychological game. The third path was pressure, letting them know they could only choose between the first and second.
The first seemed to be hiding the past, but in reality, it was bending to flattery, a temporary measure. They could pretend to be loyal and continue carrying out their mission.
The second path was what Leon truly wanted them to choose, a complete farewell to the past, because only then could they be completely loyal to him.
Therefore, it seemed like a multiple-choice question, but it was actually a single choice.
After Anna understood this, a smile appeared on her face.
“Lord Leon, you are an interesting person. Perhaps following you will be very interesting.”
“Provided you can really help us cut off the past.”
Annie added.
Leon already knew the sisters’ choice. He opened his arms as if to embrace them, and said gently,
“Then tell me your past and your fears, and I will judge.”
This voice had a beguiling quality, making people unable to resist wanting to confide.
Anna and Annie had already thought it through; there would be no worse outcome than the present. So, they simply revealed their secret.
“We were sent by Lady Mary, the Lady of Rose Territory. Our purpose is the Sequence 6 Eye of the Future.”
Anna and Annie explained their intentions. In reality, they had been hiding in Green Shade Territory for so long and never had a chance to enter the treasury.
Because when old Lord Moria was still in Green Shade Territory, the treasury was always guarded by layers of soldiers.
Now these soldiers had been withdrawn because the treasury had been emptied.
If Anna and Annie had known that the old Lord was so regardless of the consequences, not only running away himself but also taking the Sequence 6, they would have immediately sent a message to Lady Mary.
Upon hearing the two’s true purpose and mastermind, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
The Eye of the Future had been taken away by the old geezer, which meant there was no direct conflict between him and them.
“Bloody Mary?”
Anna and Annie were stunned for a moment. They hadn’t expected Leon to summarize it so accurately, but no one had ever dared to call Mary that.
“Lady Mary trained many spies and assassins. Our main purpose is to find Divine Gifts for her.”
Anna confessed.
“Then what does she hold against you?”
Leon asked.
“She controls our hearts.”
Annie said.
Immediately, a red entry suddenly popped up before Leon’s eyes.
Hidden Entry: 【Heartless】
【Heartless】Had their hearts taken by Sequence 5 Ripper, becoming Heartless. Heartless cannot be killed unless their heart is damaged. On every full moon night, they will turn into irrational monsters and suffer endless torment.
The entries above Anna and Annie’s heads changed, with the addition of the red entry 【Heartless】.
“So, Lord Leon, do you still want to continue this deal?”
Anna and Annie stood up and looked at Leon.
“This is indeed very difficult. I have no way to retrieve your hearts.”
Anna and Annie both showed disappointed expressions.
Indeed, it was as expected. No one had a way to take their hearts from Lady Mary.
As long as their hearts were still in Mary’s hands, they would never be able to gain freedom.
So, this deal was invalid from the start.
And Anna and Annie, having exposed their secret, now had only one path to take: while Leon was letting his guard down, kill him and force the witch Sophie to use her magic frequently and lose control.
This way, even if the mission failed, returning to Lady Mary’s side would not be completely in vain.
At least they helped her deal with Green Shade Territory.
