Chapter 490 Executing the Assassination
Tuscarola considered herself to have become a qualified maid.
She can wipe plates quickly and cleanly, and she can also sweep the castle floor spotless.
They also knew the layout of the castle inside like the back of their hand.
After entering through the main gate, you'll find the main castle. To the left are the training grounds and stables, while to the right are the storehouses and prayer hall.
Places like the kitchen and maids' quarters are located at the rear of the main castle.
In addition, various watchtowers and arrow towers are scattered within the city walls, and all of these facilities are now in use as the plains are currently facing war.
There were also gardens and other places for the owner to enjoy, as well as several auxiliary forts.
Tuscarola had seen quite a few castles, but in her opinion, this was definitely the most magnificent one.
That's why it took Tuscarola quite a while before he dared to say he had completely mastered the place.
Although she had already seen the castle's layout plans.
Of course, the price was that she had to do these physically demanding jobs.
This mission was so risky that it could not afford to make a mistake, as it carried the risk of death.
Tuscarola is indeed not that afraid of death anymore, but she is no longer as negative as she was a while ago. She feels that she should try to live on.
Recently, Tuscarola has also been working hard to familiarize himself with the names of all the maids in the castle.
Fina has fallen in love with a carpentry apprentice and has been distracted at work lately.
She also asked Tuscarola for money, but Chief Maid Pope told her not to lend money to Fina.
She fell in love with a conman who only loved her body and her wallet; lending her money was just a way to benefit that pretty boy.
But Tuscarola still lent the money to Fina.
Tuscarola didn't care whether Fina had been scammed, and she wasn't averse to lending money anyway, since it wasn't much to begin with.
As an assassin who inherited a fortune, I'm now a rich man—Tuscarola couldn't help but hum softly whenever he thought of this.
Flora was a beautiful girl with golden hair and sapphire-like eyes, like a handmade doll.
Anne had a toy like that before; she bought it herself with the money she earned working odd jobs at the library.
Flora is just like that doll, so adorable.
What's even more infuriating is that, despite being cute enough, she's still taller than Tuscarola!
Everyone loves Flora; she is the darling of all the maids.
That's why she knew almost all the maids in the castle.
Tuscarola is just an insignificant rookie maid who has little contact with other people except for work.
But through Flora, Tuscarola learned a lot about the maids.
At first, Flora was very enthusiastic and affectionately called Tuscarola her sister, even though Tuscarola felt they were about the same age and answered all of Tuscarola's questions.
But soon, she found various excuses to refuse.
Later, she started asking for gifts, which is why she started helping Tuscarola again.
It's just a small amount of money; Tuscarola doesn't care.
And as it turns out, Tuscarola's money was well spent.
She had already recognized the maids she had never met before and could accurately call out their names.
Except for one person, Flora couldn't recall their name, and didn't even know they existed.
She even thought Tuscarola was playing a trick on her, until Tuscarola confirmed that it was a character she had made up.
But through this reply, Tuscarola was able to confirm the identity of this person who should not exist—the Duke of the Plains, Brianna Lorraine.
This person was the same one Tuscarola had bumped into last time.
This confirms Tuscarola's earlier conjecture.
Very few people knew what the newly enthroned Duke of the Plains looked like.
Therefore, having several people dressed as dukes distributed in different rooms is enough to confuse assassins lurking in the shadows.
At the very least, it would expose the assassin.
According to rumors, once an assassin is exposed, it's not just a matter of a failed assassination attempt; they often lose their lives.
Tuscarola originally thought that as long as he found the room that issued the command or the Duke's clone, he could identify the real person.
However, the orders always came from different rooms and were not from the same clone.
At first, Tuscarola thought that the cunning Duke of Lorraine must have used some kind of special power.
But Tuscarola suddenly realized that there was someone who could conveniently appear at all the locations where the orders were being sent out at the same time.
And this person is the maid!
Maids were the most common and lowly class of servants in the castle.
It's perfectly reasonable for her to appear anywhere.
If Brianna Brin were to dress herself as a maid, everything would make sense.
In reality, those five "dukes" were all imposters!
No one could have imagined that the real person would transform into a maid!
The fact that the maid's identity is unknown proves that Tuscarola is right.
Tuscarola had to admit that the assassination target was very clever, even comparable to Anne.
"You almost fooled me," Tuscarola thought to himself. "Luckily, I'm clever enough!"
Tuscarola had already locked onto his target and was familiar with the terrain.
All that's needed is to wait for the right moment to carry out the assassination.
Tuscarola is no longer the girl who followed Anne without her own opinions.
Several assassination missions taught her to be "proactive".
She also learned the routines of the sentry posts inside the castle.
Ten minutes later will be the perfect time for the Tuscarola operation.
This period is the time for the maids to change shifts.
At this moment, Tuscarola's movements within the castle would not arouse any suspicion.
All she needs to do during this time is go to a "clone" residence and sneak into it.
It wasn't difficult; she had already calculated it. By the time she arrived near those rooms, it was time for the guards to change shifts.
Tuscarola only needs to sneak into the next room or a nearby room.
Using the power of the Radiant Realm, the wall was meaningless to her.
After that, all you have to do is wait for the maid to enter the room and then carry out the assassination from the shadows.
Therefore, Tuscarola prepared some food, since she might need to lie in ambush for several days before her target arrived.
But Tuscarola believes this time it won't last long.
She found out that of the five rooms, this one had received the fewest orders recently.
Therefore, the cunning Lorraine is likely to return to handle military and political affairs soon.
Everything is going smooth.
Tuscarola found a chimney in the ceiling, which was used to vent smoke in case of fire.
It was very narrow, yet just like Tuscarola's petite figure.
Even if it's not big enough, Tuscarola can be expanded temporarily.
Tuscarola moved to the upper side of the target room and began monitoring every move within it.
Finally, the next day, a cart appeared at the door.
Tuscarola even saw the lower half of the maid's long skirt.
However, the man suddenly stopped.
What's going on?
Tuscarola listened intently and realized that someone seemed to be speaking to him: "—A strangely dressed person claims to be an old friend and wants to visit the Duke—"
