Capital of the Kingdom of Chaoyang......

Saran Royal Castle ......

In the center of a huge room, there is only a curved table.

A magic lamp with a soft glow was set aside......

The texts were piled up on the table like a hill, and a gorgeously dressed girl was intently reading them.

Suddenly, there was some noise in the distance at the door.

But the girl didn't stop her movements, and didn't seem to care about it.

"Your Highness Claire, you have been working for a long time, please take a break......"

A woman dressed as a maid appeared at the table at some point.

Claire put down Wen Jiàn and gently rubbed her eyebrows......

After the maid put a cup of tea on the table, she began to help her slap her shoulder.

"Your Highness Claire, you go straight to the office every day when you come back from the academy to deal with the papers, which has caused you to miss a lot of banquets......"

Claire smiled bitterly and picked up the teacup: "Luno, all the fun banquets held by those nobles will be pushed off for me......"

After a pause, she took a sip of tea.

"Of course, if it's those nobles who support me, I can consider it......"

Luno smiled and didn't say anything......

Sighing, Claire pointed to Wen Jiàn on the table.

"If the nobles of this country can pay good attention to the people, I'm afraid I can be a prom princess now......"

Putting the black tea down, Claire continued to look at the text......

After Luno stepped aside, he said softly, "Your Highness...... I've already asked 'her'......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Claire's movements stopped suddenly......

"'She' said ...... 'she' could only remain neutral......"

“……”

"And...... Some of the neutral aristocrats have recently become very close to Mendila......"

"Alas...... Is that really the case? ”

Claire frowned and stared blankly at the ring in her hand.

My parents died in the war more than a decade ago......

Now my grandfather has unfortunately passed away......

It's hard for me to be alone......

Suddenly, Claire's hand stroking the ring jerked, leaving several scratches on the back of her other hand.

"Your Highness!"

Luno exclaimed.

Claire waved her hand to stop her: "It was my aunt who helped Meng Dila win her over, right?" Hehe, I don't even know my last name when I get married...... Luno, Kuya, she ...... Are you still alive? ”

Hearing the princess's question, Luno's expression became strange......

"Huh?"

Claire looked at her quizzically......

Luno's smile stiffened a little: "That...... She's still alive, but ......"

“？”

"I heard that she recently teamed up with a teenager and received a diamond mission......"

“……”

"I can't find out the identity of that teenager, but in the last few days, there have been rumors of him among adventurers......

“…… Ignore the idiot who teamed up with her for now...... Diamond missions? Is she poor and crazy or is her brain burned out? ”

"I don't know much about that...... But she did tear up the only Diamond-level crusade......"

“…… Send someone for me to find out. ”

"Yes. By the way, Her Royal Highness Claire ......"

"What else?"

"Your bounty still hasn't been picked up ......"

“……”

"Do you need to revoke?"

"No...... Increase the bounty to 20,000 for me! ”

Claire slammed the table in anger......

……

The Inti family's mansion......

Mendila looked at Gilo, who was still unconscious on the bed, and her face was very gloomy.

A beautiful woman, with her eyes red and swollen, was looking at Gilo with a sad face......

Suddenly, she angrily turned to Mendila and shouted, "How did you become a father?!" Your son was beaten like this next to you, and you didn't leave the murderer?! ”

Mendila didn't say anything, but his bandaged right hand clenched tightly......

Leave him behind?

You let me leave him behind?!

If Marilyn hadn't stopped him......

I'm just a corpse now!

The anger in her heart almost made Mendila grit her teeth.

He turned and walked out of the room, ignoring his disgruntled wife......

What is the origin of that masked boy?

He smashed his strongest defense with one punch......

Could it be a king-level adventurer?!

If so, then why did he find himself?

Marilyn seemed to know his identity, but refused to tell him......

"Damn it!"

Mendila punched the wall beside him, and countless cracks spread on it in an instant.

Just then, a young man appeared behind him......

Mendila withdrew her hand, but did not look back.

He asked lightly, "Galen, didn't I say don't come to disturb me recently?" ”

Galen bent respectfully.

"I'm sorry, but there's one thing I think needs to be reported to you right away......"

Mendila frowned slightly, and turned her head slightly confused.

Galen straightened up and continued, "A diamond-level mission that no one in the Adventurers' Guild has dared to take for three years...... ...... has been torn away."

"What?!"

Mendila looked at Galen in disbelief.

"Which adventurer tore it up? The penalty for that task is quite a lot. ”

Hearing Mendila's question, Galen's face became a little hesitant......

After a while, he replied, "It's two Bronze-level adventurers, and one of the girls is named Kuya......"

“……”

"The identity of the teenager has not been confirmed until now......"

“……”

"General, what are we going to do?"

"Give me a thorough investigation!"

Mendila clenched his fist violently, and the bandage on his right hand was instantly stained red......

……

Some large office in the Adventurers' Guild......

Dika was respectfully reporting to the middle-aged man in front of him......

"That's probably how things ......, President."

“……”

The president turned his back to Dika, and his gaze was fixed on the map of the Rising Sun Kingdom in front of him......

The two red circles are a bit harsh......

They are silently drawn at the top of the map......

That is, there are two places marked in the north of the Chaoyang Kingdom......

It took a few minutes for the president to turn around.

The coldness of his eyes made Dika shiver......

"The boy...... Tell me about him again. ”

Hearing the president's words, Dika's expression visibly stiffened for a few seconds......

Although she was helpless, she still obediently told Nightstar about the adventurer's union.

“……”

The president fell silent......

Dika sighed, "Elder, can you contact the publisher of the mission?" I'm afraid those two young people can't afford to pay the liquidated damages......"

“……”

"Be accommodation, huh? It should be that they accidentally tore the wrong one, after all, they are novices......"

“……”

"Boss! You can't be so ruthless, can you?! ”

"Decca ......"

"Yes!"

"What level can the Bronze level reach after completing this task?"

"Huh?"

“……”

"Boss, what did you just say? Did I hear me wrong?! ”

“……”

"Just them? Hahaha! If they really manage to get the job done, I'll wear a month-old bunny girl costume to the counter! ”

“…… Prepare the materials to upgrade the Adventure Card, just the Platinum level. ”

"Holy! Boss, you're ......."

"In addition, the cost of the bunny girl's costume ...... I'm out ......"

“……”

[PS: Sorry for being late...... After all, I'm so tired today that my bones are crispy......]
