Chapter 54: A Wave of Unsettled

After returning from the Misty Forest, Louis was so worried that he thought he should report the matter of the necklace to His Royal Highness Prince Skill for adjudication. Unexpectedly, Prince Skill was not in the palace at this time, and Louis had to go home.www.biquge.info It wasn't until noon the next day, when he saw the eagle hovering over the Reino Palace from a distance, that he knew that His Royal Highness had returned.

In a corner of the palace, at the door of the mansion, Louis heard the chirping of the eagle, looked up, and saw it flying into the window of the attic of the palace of Prince Skil, where there seemed to be a man standing, dressed in black, without eyebrows. It was at the time of wonder that Louie was called into the study.

Despite his royal status, Skil's mansion was a little shabby, and although the hall was covered with red velvet carpets supported by six marble pillars, it looked much older. The walls around are set up with bookshelves that reach to the sky, and the fragrance of books is overflowing, and there is no half of decoration. A marble table sits in the middle, on which various documents and utensils are meticulously arranged. The huge chair behind the table is imposing, but a closer look reveals some signs of sewing.

A moment later, Prince Skill pushed the door open and walked in. Although he is an old man in his sixties and his hair is gray, his eyes are still sharp and he looks very energetic. Louis hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and when the prince was seated, he carefully took the necklace from his bosom and handed it over.

Prince Skill took the necklace, and after taking a closer look, his brows furrowed: "This was taken from the bones?"

"Exactly," Louis replied, "but it is not yet certain that the bones are the owners of the chain." ”

Prince Skill shook his head and threw the necklace back to Louis: "This matter is very important, and it should not be said until it is investigated." In particular, you can't let the people over there know. ”

"Yes. Louis took the necklace, "But, how do you find out about this matter......?"

Prince Skill took out a letter from a drawer and handed it to Louis: "Look at it, trouble is coming." ”

Taking the letter, Louis caught a glimpse of the seal sealed, which was the royal seal of the Kingdom of Tarte, and his heart sank, and he opened the letter and read it carefully. It was a letter from King Tart to Prince Skier, stating that his third daughter, Princess Kate, was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by the king, and fled from the palace with her maidservants, saying that she was going to cross the ocean through the port of Egrem. The intention of this letter was to ask Prince Skill to find the princess and send her home.

Although it was only a simple letter, it was not difficult to do what was entrusted to it, but after reading the letter, beads of sweat rolled down Louie's forehead.

Egrim is surrounded by the sea on both sides, so there are not many countries bordering it, only two, namely the Kingdom of Tart bordering the northwest and the Kingdom of Ecclemont bordering the southwest. For a long time, these two countries have regarded Egrim as fat on their lips, but since Egrim's rise to prominence due to maritime trade, a large number of soldiers have been recruited, including many magicians with extraordinary abilities. The rapid growth of the country's strength, the fact that several border disputes did not allow neighbors to take advantage of them, coupled with the fact that the two countries needed Egrim's trade channels, and the two princes gave them enough benefits, they were at peace all these years. However, due to the long-term chaos of Agrim's government, the country's strength is now much lower than before. Faced with the eyes of Tart and Eclermont, Prince Skill could only be cautious everywhere.

And now that's what happened. The necklace was clearly engraved with the words "For Princess Kate", and if Princess Kate did want to cross the border from Tart to Elgrim, then the Misty Forest was the way to go. It is not difficult to speculate that Princess Kate may have been killed in Agrim's territory, and if the princess's murder is known to King Tarte, it may lead to war. The Talts have always been known for their bravery and warfare, and in this situation, it will be difficult for Egrim to gain the upper hand.

This is a very difficult matter, and we can only wait and see what happens. Louis speculated that Prince Skill meant to play dumb to the end, but this was not a long-term solution. The night after leaving the Reino Palace, he tossed and turned, and he vaguely felt that there was some kind of connection behind this series of events, but he couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until his subordinates reported that someone had died at the Royal Theatre that he put the matter down slightly.

The night once again enveloped Egrim, and although the streets of the Kings were still brightly lit and unusually bustling, the Royal Theatre was now pitch black, and there was no longer the night singing of yesterday, which was very different from the past, every brick and tile was full of loneliness, and the gate was tightly locked. The front and rear doors, as well as a side door, were guarded, and a team patrolled the neighborhood. Such guards can be regarded as tight, enough to block a group of ordinary people and petty thieves, but in the eyes of a capable man with unique skills, it is a different explanation.

At night, on a sparsely populated path next to the Royal Theatre, two figures flashed out from behind the trees. One was handsome and straight, carrying a cloth bag behind him, and there was a bit of a playful smile in his ice-blue eyes. The other is petite and smart, with long fiery red hair shining against the turquoise eyes.

"Well, do you want this girl to take you in?" said Lucia, with her arms folded over her chest.

Rhodes chuckled: "Don't underestimate my 'wolf spirit', except for Mo'an's Crescent Manor and Reino Palace, there is no place for me to enter." ”

"Really?" Lucia glanced at the Royal Theatre in front of her, revealing a look of disbelieving, "The front and back doors are guarded, and all the windows are locked from the inside, so it's probably not that easy for people to get in without anyone knowing." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, look at me!" Rod was still confident, and before Lucia could speak, he pulled out a rope from his sack and threw the end of the hook into the roof of the theater in a few strokes.

"Worthy of a wall-to-wall robber!" said Lucia, teasingly, "I have to warn Mr. Moan to be careful that you have emptied his manor. ”

"I can't afford anything other than that pocket watch," Rhodes said as he tugged at the rope to make sure it was secure, "I'm familiar with this place, and those Janissaries can't stop me." As he spoke, Rod scurried upwards and climbed the rope ladder, moving very sensitively, and climbed halfway in less than a few seconds.

Lucia looked up, her eyes fixed on Rod, but her ears were not idle. She heard a patrol approaching here, jumped up, flew more than ten meters above the ground, and one rolled over and landed smoothly on the roof of the Grand Theater. Lying on his stomach and looking down at the edge of the roof, there was still a distance of three or five meters, and Rhodes was about to climb to the roof, but the patrol was about to turn to this path!
