Izuru looked at the little maid in front of her with some doubt, sighed, and said, "Does Rudeus think I'm that old pervert Darius? Sending such a young child here..."
“Miss Izoruti, don’t let my young age fool you, I’m very capable.”
Aisha patted her chest and said, “Brother, no, Lord Rudeus must have his reasons for asking me to serve you, so please don’t be picky. I will inform you when Lord Rudeus needs you.”
"Brother? You did say the word 'brother,' didn't you?"
Izuru casually flipped through the clothes on the hanger, then jumped out a pale yellow long dress and held it in front of her to try it on. "Besides, shouldn't you be in school at your age?"
"Yes, I am Lord Rudius's half-sister, an illegitimate child, but the lord is kind and has given me the surname Grerat."
After Aisha found several pairs of suitable and pretty shoes and socks for Izoruti, she found a small stool, stood on it, and began to comb Izoruti's hair with meticulous skill. "Lord Rudeus also arranged for me to go to school, but I would prefer to work as a maid or help Lord Rudeus."
"You're really amazing."
Izuru patted Aisha's head with satisfaction; she already knew something about Aisha's relationship with Rudeus.
After getting dressed and washing up, she strolled around the yard. When she entered the yard last night, it was mostly in a state of disrepair. Only her bedroom and bathroom had been cleaned up in the entire mansion. But just one night later, the flowers and plants in the yard had been trimmed, and the living room, bedroom, and kitchen had all been cleaned up.
Good morning, Miss Izoruti.
Good morning, Head Maid.
Several maids who looked to be in their twenties passed by and bowed to Isorti and Aisha. Aisha seemed to accept it as a matter of course, waved casually, and continued to lead Isorti to the restaurant.
"To manage this mansion so well at such a young age, she truly is Rudeus's sister."
Izuru sat down in the restaurant to eat, lost in thought.
At this time, in addition to the usual breakfast of fried fish cakes and bread, Aisha also placed a bottle of wine in front of Izoruti.
"Lord Rudius said that you are inseparable from alcohol these days, so he specifically asked me to remind you that you can only drink this one bottle today, and not any more."
Aisha said.
"Hey..."
Izuru sighed, picked up her knife and fork, cut up the fish cake, and put it in her mouth. "If you have time, please tell Rudeus that, thanks to him, I've given up drinking."
......
Meanwhile, the superior overseer Rudius Boreas Grerat, along with dozens of people from the overseer's office, arrived early at the brothel at the intersection of Flower Street.
Rudius ordered his men to break open the tightly locked door, whereupon they found the corpses of two swordsmen lying in the corridor. The bodies were already beginning to decompose, and they were holding swords bearing the dove crest of the Prime Minister Darius. They had been dead for about a day.
Further inside, you can see the corpses of the shop owner, the waitresses, and several other prostitutes, as well as the corpses of three swordsmen, two of whom are headless and one of whom is embedded in the wall.
"Who did this...? It must have been someone with at least the strength of a superior officer..."
The prosecutors from the Inspectorate looked at the corpse and speculated on the deceased's strength. Then, as they entered the room around the corner, they saw the corpse of Elina Lige, who had gone to submit evidence two days earlier. She was holding a sword in her right hand, with several wounds on her body, her left arm hanging in the doorway, and next to her was a swordsman who had been cut in half at the waist.
"Witness Elina Lige was silenced by Prime Minister Darius for exposing him, and she died along with the assassins sent by Darius. It seems that the evidence presented earlier was true. Otherwise, why would Darius send someone to silence her?"
Rudius said.
"Yes, that must be it."

......
"Lord Rudeus! Lord Rudeus!"
"The Supervisory Hall is handling cases; those with nothing to do, get out of the way!"
Rudius was about to leave the scene of the murder at the brothel in the red-light district when he heard someone calling his name from outside. The guards of the Surveillance Hall at the door were pushing and shoving each other, so he went out to check the situation.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Lord Rudius! Someone is causing trouble in the shop! They want to... they want to beat up Miss Luo Qixi!"
Upon seeing Rudeus, the waiter in Luoqixi's shop struggled even harder, "Lord Rudeus! Lord Rudeus! Although Miss Luoqixi saw you, she still told us not to bother you, but we really can't handle this!"
Rudius surveyed the surroundings, glanced at the tavern run by Luo Qixi in the distance, and observed the expressions of the accompanying officials from the Surveillance Hall.
Matters like someone vandalizing a shop, which fall under the category of maintaining order within the city, should be handled by the Market Troops. The Supervisory Hall is mainly responsible for matters related to officials in the court, as well as cases involving death within the capital city of Ars.
Therefore, the accompanying officials from the Surveillance Hall all showed disgust towards the waiter in the Luoqixi shop, but they observed his words and, seeing that they seemed to be related to Rudeus, dared not speak out of respect for Rudeus.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be under the jurisdiction of the Street and City Corps?"
Rudius walked up to the waiter, his eyes icy cold. "You only saw me, but didn't you see the Surveillance Hall investigating the case?!"
"I...saw it...."
The waiter, who had been struggling among the guards, immediately fell silent. "I just noticed that you and Miss Luo Qixi have a very good relationship, so I wanted to ask for your help..."
"A very good relationship?"
Rudius sneered, "I've only eaten at that hotel a few times and dealt with the owner a few times. Do you think you can openly interfere with the investigation in the Hall of Surveillance without being punished?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Rudeus, but..."
“Drag him out and give him twenty lashes, so he'll learn his lesson.”
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Rudius interrupted him, and then several guards dragged him away to be beaten with sticks.
Then Rudius pulled a guard aside and whispered in his ear, "Although this has nothing to do with our Surveillance Hall, we can't just ignore what's happening right under our noses. Go and run an errand to inform the Market Legion."
"Yes!"
The guards said nothing unnecessary and did nothing unnecessary; they immediately headed towards the direction of the street corps.
......
On the way back to the Silver Palace by carriage, several officials joked with Rudeus, "I've been to that shop before. It seems that the owner, Luo Qixi, is a real beauty, even though she's a demon."
"There are so many people here, yet they only came to ask Lord Rudeus for help. It seems Lord Rudeus has spent a lot of money on drinks."
"I've also heard that Miss Luo Qixi and Lord Rudeus have a special relationship. Has Lord Rudeus received special services from that beautiful boss?"
"Wait a minute, I heard..."
"Dear seniors, I have only been there a few times."
Rudius didn't want this workplace gossip to continue, fearing that any rumors might spread and cause unnecessary trouble, so he awkwardly explained, "As for why that waiter came to me, he probably thought I was a high-ranking official."
Rudius deliberately emphasized the words that followed, a clear indication that silenced all the officials from the Surveillance Hall.
"We now have enough evidence to convict Prime Minister Darius. He sent his men to kill the prostitute named Elina Lige in revenge, and also killed everyone else in the brothel to silence them. It's truly heinous."
Rudius said, "Now that this matter is confirmed, we can convict Chancellor Darius of colluding with Milis and murdering Albert Boreas Greirat, even at the cost of starting a war..."
"Lord Rudius, I have a question."
An official from the Inspectorate who looked a few years younger than Rudius said, "If Chancellor Darius wanted revenge or to silence us, I think he could have done it without leaving a trace. So why did we get the evidence?"
Rudy didn't answer immediately, but instead carefully examined him. It was indeed inappropriate for someone of eleven or twelve years old to ask such a question when everyone else was silent. However, for someone of only eleven or twelve to be able to work in the Surveillance Hall, it meant either that his family was powerful enough or that he himself was very capable.
"Because Darius was too confident in his grasp of the situation."
The official sitting next to Rudius replied that he was an old man from the Hall of Overseers, who had worked there for nearly thirty years. Now his temples were gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his already thinning hair had turned into a snow-covered Mediterranean.
"Back then, I served in the same court as Lord Darius. He was in the Hall of Personnel, and I was in this Hall of Supervision."
The old inspector pinched his mustache a couple of times and sighed, "More than thirty years have passed, and he has become the prime minister of a country, while I am still a mid-level inspector in this inspectorate."
"Darius is a gambler who is good at high-stakes gambling. As long as he has cards in his hand, he will never care about winning or losing."
The old inspector said.
"In other words, even if this case is pinned on Darius, Darius won't feel it has any impact on him, which is why we can obtain the evidence?"
"That's what the junior inspector asked."
That's right.
Rudius looked out the window and saw that the capital was already bustling with traffic and people busy with their own tasks in the late autumn morning. He sighed, "You can't do business alone. Blackboards need to be sold together for tens of dollars to get a good price."
"Huh? What does this have to do with the blackboard?"
The junior inspector leaned closer and asked again.
"It's nothing, I was just talking to myself."
Rudius shook his head, glanced at the junior inspector again, and began to recall the names associated with this person. When he received the superior inspector, he had already familiarized himself with the information of all forty-odd inspectors in the capital, from the lowest to the middle level.
This was a good habit that Lilith helped Rudius develop when he was the student council president of Lanoa Magic University.
“Yuri Grerat, the illegitimate son of Mike Canon Zeferos Grerat, the younger brother of the Zeferos family patriarch, is usually inconspicuous. He is out on duty today because he is on duty. No wonder I didn’t notice him before. The less noticeable a person is, the more likely they are to cause problems.”
Thinking of this, Rudeus felt a surge of murderous intent, but then he thought again: "Killing someone with such a special identity just because of suspicion might cause a lot of unexpected things. What if it's a trap set by the enemy? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
"Um, what's your name again?"
Rudeus asked the junior inspector, "Judging from your age, you shouldn't be an adult yet. How come you're working in the capital at such a young age?"
"Reporting to Lord Rudeus, my name is Yuri Grerat. I am an illegitimate child in my family. I was only fortunate enough to pass the examination of the Surveillance Hall and thus had the opportunity to work with Lord Rudeus and all of you seniors."
The junior inspector said very respectfully.
"That's really impressive."
Rudius praised it.
The junior inspector kept his head down and said nothing more. He felt Rudius's eyes were fixed on him, making him unable to move. His whole body felt as if it had been frozen in ice, cold and helpless. The chilling murderous aura was overwhelming. Although it was late autumn, his back was soaked with sweat.
He didn't get up until he got off the bus, maintaining a bowed and hunched posture the whole time.
"Yuri? Yuri?"
A colleague shoved him, and the junior inspector finally came to his senses.
At that moment, Rudius had already walked into the main hall.
......
"Darius? Why is he here?"
Inside the great hall, the king sat on the golden chair in the center, with Gravel standing beside him, and a little further in front of Gravel, the prime minister Darius also appeared.
"Wasn't he... already suspended and confined to his home?"
Rudius stared incredulously at Darius's obese belly and greasy face, but after bowing to the king, he immediately straightened his posture and read out the investigation results as if announcing the verdict on Darius's case: "Prime Minister Darius, colluded with the Kingdom of Milis..."
"Rudius, yo."
Darius casually interrupted Rudius, "You'd better explain first why you, as the high-ranking inspector of the Kingdom of Asura, have an affair with a demon?"
"Demons? He's referring to Teacher Luo Qixi?"
Rudeus thought to himself, but quickly composed an answer aloud: "I have no relation to any demons."
"Oh? Is that so? Then we'll have to investigate this thoroughly."
Darius's eyes narrowed to slits, and his greasy, fat face emitted a sharp voice: "If the superior inspector of the Kingdom of Asura has any shady relationship with the demons, that would be a great insult to His Majesty the King, and even to His Majesty the Ankylosaurus King Percius."
"Tsk..."
Rudius gritted his teeth but couldn't speak. He looked at Gravel for help, but Gravel shook his head in disappointment.
"Rudius Boreas Greirat, do you have anything to explain?"
Gravel looked at Rudius with a cold eye and said.

......
"I....."
Rudius was almost unprepared for the sudden questioning, although he had considered strategies for dealing with such situations beforehand. However, this time the situation was more sudden and intense than he had anticipated.
"Lord Darius, what evidence do you have to support your claims?"
Rudius tried to appear calm.
"That demon opened a tavern in Flower Street, and she used to be your magic teacher. Later, this demon taught at Lanoa Magic University, but was dismissed for some unknown reason. Is that true?"
Darius had already laid a trap in his words, just waiting for Rudius to fall into it.
