Chapter 256 - 6.16 You Have No Idea
Jillian hummed. The battlefield was often messy and grisly, everyone was trying their hardest to stay alive. Despite being the General, Jillian cared only for strategy and battle formation and left the troops management part to Marquis Ouin. There was no way he could keep note of everyone.
But now that he took a closer look, he seemed to have a few impressions of this guy being stationed close to him in a few instances. Not that Jillian ever paid close attention anyway.
"What are you doing in this area?" He inquired with a casual tone. He knew for sure nobody would have come here if not for patrolling and today, there wasn’t any schedule of the sorts. That left only one possibility then. "Here to visit the seer?"
"Ah, that..." Hayden scratched the back of his head sheepishly. How could he tell the General that he was here after finding out the assassination attempt that had happened today? The rumors of Jillian being bewitched by a malicious spirit had spread among the soldiers and everyone just couldn’t stop talking about it, especially the doll. Exactly where did the creepy doll come from? Did the spirit had something to do with the assassination attempt? Would it cause the General harm? Who would be the best person to ask advice from other than the notorious seer?
He knew that he was sticking his nose in other’s business but... when he thought of how the General had acted strangely ever since the doll appeared by his side, Hayden was willing to take any risk and hence, here he was.
He should have known that it was a peculiar doll. Even now, its beady silver eyes were staring straight at Hayden, sharp and piercing and totally unlike how a normal doll should be. Hayden resisted the urge to squirm under the heavy gaze.
[666: Host, Host, you’re right. Something is indeed lacking from the plot! Let 666 guesses. First, without Cyrus and Luan’s intervention, Jillian would have gone to the seer and found out that Regius was a God and hence, he started praying everyday. And then, Hayden had also gone to seek the seer and... and the seer must have said something to convince him that Regius was the Evil God! Is 666 right or is 666 right?]
[You’re right.] It was shocking, 666 wasn’t a slow-witted idiot for once.
[666: ... Host, you do realize that 666 can hear your thoughts, right? QAQ]
Indeed, that would be the right course of action that drove Hayden to confront Jillian, causing him to be kicked out of the manor. Only then would Hayden be desperate enough to seek the King’s audience. If Lu Yizhou’s gut feelings were right, Jillian and Hayden must have come to the same seer!
Lu Yizhou narrowed his eyes in contemplation. If that was the case, then Hayden and the seer couldn’t be allowed to meet. What should he do to prevent the meeting? Or would it be better to just get rid of the seer once and for all?
