first wizarding world war.

Chapter 51 There was an assassin, Archduke Ferdinand was killed

"The purpose of my trip is to protect Archduke Ferdinand's safe entry into Strasbourg. Let the vampire go for now. We will have a chance to kill him later."

Charlotte nodded and followed this "senior lady lord".

To be honest, after meeting Menilman, he felt much more relaxed and wanted to ask, "How are things going, senior sister?"

But Menilman had already engaged the group of assassins, so he had no choice but to put away the anti-space sniper rifle in his hand and join the battle with his magic alchemical staff.

He was not good at swordsmanship, and his staff skills were also not good at that. He joined the battle just for show. The real main force in the battle had to be Menilman Sumei, the first rose of the empire.

Menilman was worthy of being a high-level extraordinary person. He ended the battle in just a few minutes. He stood beside Archduke Ferdinand and waited silently for a while, but didn't know how to persuade him.

The love story of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife spread throughout the Old World. Although Menilman no longer believed in love after his fiancé became a pervert, he still respected this couple who had been together through life and death.

Charlotte walked up to Menilman, observed his expression for a while, and said in a low voice: "Respected Grand Duke, the ground is too cold. We can't let the Duchess lie like this."

Archduke Ferdinand, who could not be persuaded by anyone, reacted after hearing this. He put his hand on his chest and whispered, "You are right. The ground is too cold. Help me lift Josephine onto the carriage."

The guards hurriedly lifted the Duchess into the carriage. Archduke Ferdinand just held her hand, like a clay or wooden sculpture, saying nothing and moving nothing, but silently shedding tears.

Menilman made a gesture of approval to Charlotte and directed these people to leave the valley and head straight for Strasbourg. Not long after they walked away, reinforcements kept arriving and several teams of patrol troops set out.

Charlotte finally found an opportunity on the way, got close to Menilman, and asked, "Senior, which department are you transferred to now?"

Menilman glanced at him and said, "I know everything about your performance this time."

The lady's irrelevant answer made Charlotte feel relieved.

Menilman looked into the distance and said, "I'll give you two choices: One is that I'll transfer you from Kilmainham Prison to help run a position and continue doing civilian work. The other option is to transfer to the military, but the destination is uncertain, maybe far away, away from Strasbourg."

Charlotte put her hand on her chest and said, "I'm willing to transfer to the military!"

With legs as long as Senior Menilman's, how could I not hug her?
If I continue to work as a clerk, I won’t have such a powerful backer, and my chances of promotion in the future will be “slim”.

Menilman whispered, "No matter what you saw this time, don't tell anyone, including me, not a word."

"Otherwise, I can't protect you."

Charlotte also wondered if discovering the information that Byron was colluding with the Black Phoenix Dynasty and intervening in the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand would allow her to get a promotion and a raise. After hearing Menilman's warning, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, and she immediately replied, "I will keep your teachings in mind."

Politics is a very complicated thing. Charlotte knew that she was a political novice, so she chose to trust Menilman, be honest, never be smart, and say nothing.

When they arrived near Strasbourg, at least two hundred patrol soldiers escorted Archduke Ferdinand into the imperial capital.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. Escorting the Grand Duke was not an easy job. He was worried that a group of thugs would suddenly jump out and shoot him indiscriminately.

Although he is from the Principality of Behemoth, he is not that loyal to Archduke Ferdinand.

After entering Strasbourg, Menilman handed over the patrol troops to an officer who arrived in a hurry, and did not continue to escort Archduke Ferdinand. Charlotte naturally followed the senior sister and left the team. She was about to ask what to do next?
He still has a dismissal order on him!
Then three gunshots were heard, and someone kept shouting: "There is an assassin, Archduke Ferdinand has been shot dead! There is an assassin, the Archduke has been shot dead, catch the assassin, Archduke Ferdinand has been shot dead, shoot quickly..." Then there was a burst of noisy gunfire, and it was obvious that the assassin had also been shot to death.

Charlotte suddenly felt a chill in her heart. Archduke Ferdinand would be beaten to death if he entered Strasbourg. She was afraid that those who wished him dead were not only Lady Nansela and the people of Bayron. As for who else might be there, she dared not imagine.

Menilman was visibly relieved and indifferent to the Archduke's death, saying, "If he wasn't assassinated by us, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"correct!"

"More than one hundred extraordinary weapons were lost in the prison. They were probably secretly sold by the new warden, Magru Teller. It is said that not a single one was recovered."

"Because of you, the reception secretary, Mrs. Pascal, and several people involved in the matter all said that it was the new warden who ordered it."

"Thank you!"

Charlotte bowed slightly, thinking back to the time when Madame Pascal came to see her. He seemed to have said something casually, but what did it have to do with this lady biting the new warden to death?
He did not delve into it further. While he felt relieved, he was also a little angry. He thought to himself, "I wanted to take revenge myself, but I didn't expect the new warden Magru Teller to fall like this?"

It's not easy to let this out.

Menilman patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will hand this case over to you as a small reward."

Charlotte felt refreshed immediately.

He smiled and said, "I will certainly handle it impartially and strictly abide by the law, and I will make sure that Mr. Magru Teller will not suffer any injustice."

Menilman smiled slightly and said, "I believe in your character!"

"I'll give you three days off, then go to the prison to handle this case and wait for the transfer order!"

"The Empire is about to go to war! The empires of the Old World will be involved, and even countries from the New World will get involved."

"You are ready to make achievements!"

Charlotte nodded, watching the senior leave in a carefree manner, and murmured in a low voice: "I don't know how many people will die!"

He sighed slightly!
He was an eyewitness to this incident. He watched helplessly as the fuse of war was lit, but could do nothing.

This feeling is not pleasant.

Although he also knew that he could not stop the war at all.

The conspirators have already put war on the table, and he is just an ordinary time traveler who can only go with the flow for now.

Charlotte sighed again, hailed a carriage, and returned to 58 Champs-Elysees.
