Should I raise you too?
Page 64
Simon got up, and Eve lay on his lap to meditate.
Ha, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself.
Ignoring them, Elisa picked up a letter from the side. It was Mabel's invitation to tomorrow's stage play. Eleanor would also be there, along with another important person, Ophina, also known as Princess Ophelia.
The male servant attacked Princess Ophelia only a few days ago, and I'm going to see Ophelia soon. It's quite exciting to think about.
Elisa spread out the newspaper, flipping through it idly, casually browsing the headlines.
Workers' Injury Foundation Established: Relief for Workers' Injuries and Families
Red Eyes or Blue Eyes: A Logic Puzzle That's Taking the Capital by storm.
Governor Marchie presents the latest situation in the Sea of Fog.
It's still these boring things. It's amazing they managed to finish writing the report.
Elisa put down the "Selby Daily," took a sip of black tea, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
She picked up the newspaper again, staring at a small section: "Red eyes or blue eyes, the logic puzzle sweeping the capital???"
Isn't this my puzzle?
As she read the contents, she learned that a week earlier, Princess Ophelia had posed a logic puzzle at a banquet for teachers and students from the Southern Continent, which stumped all the international students and scholars from the Southern Continent.
Scholars have dubbed this puzzle the Princess Ophelia Puzzle, praising its hidden logic and sociological mysteries, and noting that the definition of 'public information' reveals a neglected field of study.
The newspaper fell from her hands, and Elisa was devastated.
This is my riddle! I got it from the manservant for 50 pounds!
It should be called the Elisa Puzzle, not the Princess Ophelia Puzzle!
That despicable high society is so shameless! They blatantly plagiarized my work!
Thinking about it carefully, no wonder Ophelia stopped me from revealing the answer at the party, and no wonder she asked me for the answer the next day. She had planned this all along!
This puzzle, which could have made me famous, has now become Ophelia's wedding dress!
Haha, why didn't the male servant shoot Ophelia dead when he encountered her before!
Is it okay to assassinate her now?
Chapter 70 is quite abrupt (Please subscribe!)
Mabel's booked theater is the Swan Theatre in the city center, with the performance starting at 7 p.m. and ending around 11 p.m.
So this invitation also included a dinner and an overnight stay at Eleanor's mansion.
Elisa arrived at the mansion on time, accompanied by her personal maid Eve and Simon, the coachman and servant.
After dinner, Mabel, holding Elisa's hand with one hand and Eleanor's hand with the other, got into Elisa's carriage.
Simon naturally became the coachman, driving the carriage to take the three young ladies to the theater two streets away.
Simon and Mabel had a very pleasant conversation. Miss Mabel, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, had many things to say and many questions to ask.
Elisa sighed: I envy Mabel, she's so lively. I know the valet too well, I have nothing to ask him.
Eleanor sighed in return: "I envy Mabel, who can chat openly with Mr. Simon. My affair with Mr. Simon is something I can't discuss in public."
Upon arriving at the theater, Simon stopped the carriage and watched the three ladies enter. He then settled the carriage and waited in the theater's lounge area.
Simon was having a pleasant conversation with a theater waitress.
Elisa sat in the private room, sipping her black tea, glancing at the logbook, unfazed.
There were no photos this time, so it seems the waitress's bust size wasn't ideal.
Simon saw Ms. Helen passing by and struck up a conversation with her.
"Ms. Helen with her bulging chest.jpg"
Stop! Ms. Helen is already married!
Now that Ms. Helen has arrived, Ophelia, who stole my riddle, should also have arrived.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the door to the private room opened and Ophelia walked in.
Elisa was surprised; Ophelia was not hiding anything today, and her dress featured royal patterns.
"Good evening, Miss Elisa." Ophelia smiled and bowed. "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Ophelia."
I already knew your name was Ophelia, and I also knew you were a superhuman who could use "charm," and that you were eyeing Susanna, trying to find the "finger bone." Ms. Helen was your accomplice!
Thinking about this, Elisa was startled. She knew Ophelia so well, all thanks to the male servant. Unbeknownst to her, the male servant had already uncovered so many secrets!
Elisa feigned surprise, displaying a respectful demeanor. She looked closely at Ophelia and noticed something amiss.
Ophelia's hair is not right; the dazzling blonde hair I saw before has lost some of its luster today.
Noticing Elisa's gaze, Ophelia touched her long hair and said with a smile, "This is a wig. A week ago, I was reading by candlelight and got so sleepy that I accidentally burned my hair."
A week ago? Wasn't that when the servant and Eleanor encountered Ophelia? The servant fired six shots at Ophelia's back, one or more of which hit Ophelia's hair?
The bullet may have grazed Ophelia's scalp, causing her to go bald, which is why she had to wear a wig.
Well done! Elisa cheered for the male servant in her heart.
Outside the box window, the stage play began on time, and Ophelia sat down next to Elisa.
Apart from Mabel, no one cared what was going on below. Eleanor made up an excuse and left the box, wandering off somewhere.
Ophelia lowered her head, pretended to drink tea, and yawned.
She turned her head and whispered to Elisa, "This time, I asked Mabel to let me meet with you."
Elisa became alert; was Ophelia trying to steal other puzzles from her?
Ophelia smiled and said, "The St. Catherine Charitable Association has offered me a position as an assistant secretary, but I don't really have anyone suitable around me. I wonder if Miss Elisa would be interested?"
St. Catherine's Charitable Society? Isn't that a women's charitable society funded by the royal family?
Ms. Helen once mentioned that almost all the daughters and wives of the powerful and wealthy were members of that association. Joining the association meant entering high society!
Moreover, Ophelia didn't offer her a regular membership, but rather an assistant secretary, a management position!
Is this the buyout fee for the red and blue eyes puzzle?
Elisa quickly weighed the options.
Even if the red-and-blue-eyed puzzle were called the Elisa Puzzle, I would never get a management position at the St. Catherine's Association; at most, I'd be a regular member.
This is a great deal!
After Elisa accepted the bribe, Ophelia brought up the red and blue eyes mystery again, saying that the reporters had mistaken her for the one who solved the mystery, and she was sorry. Elisa comforted Ophelia and told her not to worry about it.
After the conversation, both of them were satisfied.
Ophelia took a sip of black tea and said to Elisa, "I will find an opportunity to clarify this matter. Miss Elisa, do you have any other questions? I will share them with you all and also test those self-important gentlemen."
Elisa didn't know if Ophelia was telling the truth or not. Having obtained a satisfactory position, she revealed the riddle of the three hats that came with the male servant.
Ophelia thought for a moment and praised, "What ingenious questions! Did Miss Elisa come up with these two questions herself?"
Unfortunately, no.
Elisa shifted the blame to her non-existent father: "It was my father who taught me."
Ophelia's smile faded slightly, and she looked somewhat disappointed.
Why the disappointment? Elisa was puzzled.
Ophelia thought for a moment, then asked Elisa, "Miss Elisa, what do you think of the East District's stabbing murder case? I heard you investigated it."
Elisa realized that Ophelia had taken a liking to her 'intelligence' and wanted to recruit her as an advisor to investigate the whereabouts of the "finger bone".
“It’s just a joke investigation.” Elisa didn’t want to be her advisor; they were rivals in the search for the “finger bone.”
Ophelia then asked, "If a child from the East District obtained a treasure but felt threatened, where might he put it?"
Elisa thought to herself, "You've completely asked the wrong person. You should go downstairs to the lounge and find my manservant."
The fourth princess had absolutely no leads and was desperately grasping at straws.
I never expected that William could hide his "finger bone" so well.
I wonder if the male servant can find that "finger bone" in the East District.
Perhaps I shouldn't have killed that spirit baboon. The spirit baboon could track the "finger bone's" aura. If the baboon were still alive, it might have already found the "finger bone."
Elisa felt a brief moment of guilt.
After giving Ophelia a perfunctory answer, Elisa pretended to enjoy the stage play below and glanced at "Simon's Journal".
Ms. Helen regretfully ended the conversation and invited Simon to visit her home during his next vacation.
The play hasn't even finished yet! Aren't you guys moving a little too fast!
As expected of a married woman, Ms. Helen directly invited the male servant to her home!
Hmm, let the male servant go out and explore, it might be good to strengthen their relationship. It would be best to develop Ms. Helen into a Lighthouse spy, infiltrating Ophelia's side and providing intelligence at any time!
Elisa silently cheered on the male servant.
Late at night, after the stage play ended, Eleanor returned to her box on time to meet up with them.
