Volume 2 The Puppet Chapter 23 A Different Red Costume Behind the Scenes
Chapter 23 A different kind of red costume is the master behind the scenes
Ellie held Soxia and refused to let go, the two of them have known each other for a short time, out of understanding Soxia, Ellie feels that it is absolutely necessary to stop her now!
Sohya's appearance is a little more neutral, and her personality is the same, plus she has been influenced by her father since she was a child, she loves to dance and play with swords, and later became a martial artist as she wished, and Soxia's competitive temperament became more and more uncontrollable.
If Soxia was allowed to move freely, she would really dare to go straight to Lore's dormitory, and then point her sword at Lore's nose and ask for a duel!
Ellie persuaded bitterly: "Sohya, you have been in the dust along the way, so you have to rest for a day or two!"
Soxia waved her hand and refused: "I'm not tired! After more than a month of practical training, as well as the previous experience in the Dream Forest, I have long been used to it! But tonight is really not appropriate, so let's do it tomorrow morning!"
"There's still class tomorrow, and she definitely won't promise you!"
Sohya frowned: "Then wait until she finishes class!"
Ellie said again: "Sohya, don't forget, you ran back in advance! This duel will definitely be discovered by the academy, and I'm afraid you will be punished at that time!"
"I'm not afraid!"
"Soxia!
Sohya was a little helpless, but if she waited for four or five days, she would definitely not be able to accept it: "Hmm-if it really doesn't work......"
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief: "Then wait a little longer......"
"Then find a place to duel outside!"
Ellie: "......?!"
Ellie only felt the corners of her eyes twitch: "Soxia, a private duel is against the rules of the royal city!"
"It's okay! if no one says it!" Soxia was optimistic, and then said to Ellie with some confusion, "Are you going to tell me?"
I wanted to! But I didn't dare!
"It's set for tomorrow afternoon when she's finished her class, and then we'll find a suitable place first! Oh! That's right! I'm a little excited about the duel, I almost forgot!"
Ellie wondered, "What?"
Soxia said, "Didn't we just talk about the problem between you and Kylo! Just take this opportunity to go and confess to him directly!
Ellie: "...... I think you've forgotten!"
Sohya was still excited, and she didn't hear Ellie's words clearly: "What did you say?"
Ellie pondered for a moment and said, "You can prepare for your duel with peace of mind!
"When you're done thinking about it, the end of the world is here!"
Ellie: "I ......"
"Okay, okay! Don't talk! Then take a step back! Tomorrow, if I win that Lorraine, you will confess! That's it! I won't accept rebuttal!"
Ellie opened her mouth, but finally sighed and agreed: "Okay!"
Sohia laughed, "That's right, you need someone to push you behind your back!"
Ellie smiled reluctantly, she also knew that Sohia was right, she had never been a decisive person, and it was easy to be timid when encountering things.
Just like the previous time, she finally mustered up the courage to find a chance to be alone with Kylo, ready to show her heart, but it happened to catch up with Kylo's absence, once she missed, she couldn't lift the courage for a second time!
What's more, there is also a presence of Lore who is better than her in every way.
Perhaps, it would be a good choice to be pushed forward by Sohya this time.
Ellie finally made up her mind a little, and Sohya unilaterally prepared for a duel, however, what the two didn't expect was that when they went to look for Lore, they got the news that Lore had returned home!
Ellie's nervous heart calmed down a little, but Soxia was half angry! She made up her mind to wait until Lore returned, and as a result, because it was just in time for the weekend, Lore would stay home for two days this time, so Sohia would wait for two days.
......
Lore went home for two purposes, one was to replenish his living funds, because of the previous shopping trip, Lore is now shy of money.
Another purpose is naturally this different kind of red outfit. In the royal city, such a thing happened, the previous Nalita incident was a lesson from the past, and now there is no shadow of other empires behind the different red suit incident!
General Lance was also extremely angry when he learned about it, and immediately went to visit the officials in charge of the Moon Street area in person, and demanded a thorough investigation of the matter with a very tough attitude!
On the other hand, Leah Aiqi and the two also passed the matter to King Kerry's ears through Prince Arazawa, as for why the two didn't say it in person, it was because Leah and King Kerry were in a cold war.
King Kerry's anger when he learned of this was no less than that of General Lance, King Kerry was already guilty of Leah because of the previous marriage incident, and now that such a thing happened, he must not be able to tolerate it!
For a while, not only Moon Street, but also the investigation and interrogation in the open and in the dark, almost swept the entire royal city!
On the last afternoon of the weekend, the eldest prince of Ji'an and his two younger siblings visited General Reims's palace in person.
The eldest prince arrived, and after a hurried salute, he was invited to the parlor by General Reims.
In the living room, General Lance and his wife, the Grand Prince of Gian, and the five members of Lore's five adventure teams were quite a few.
As for Rick, the three of them were inconvenient to participate in due to various reasons, and they still stayed in the academy.
Strictly speaking, this meeting was just a private gathering, and General Lance sat on the main seat as an elder and master, and the eldest prince of Ji'an was extremely well-educated, and he regarded himself as a junior and took the initiative to sit in the guest seat.
"Your Highness, how is this matter investigated?"
General Lance was originally a civilian, and later practiced martial arts in the army, and fought horses for half his life, although he is now in the position of a general, but he still can't learn the kind of greetings and tactfulness of the nobles, and his speech has always been straightforward.
In normal times, Mrs. Lance would have reminded her more or less, but this time it involved the safety of her daughter, and unlike the last expedition to the ruins of the ancient battlefield, this time it was a complete man-made disaster!
Hearing General Lance's question, the eldest prince of Ji'an's face looked a little strange, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Mrs. Lance's face sank, and she said, "Your Highness Ji'an, please tell me the truth!"
Madame Lance spoke, but she lost her usual gentleness and warmth, and even a little chill.
As far as he knows, when this Lady Lance was young, she was extremely terrible in terms of personality and strength, although she was pregnant with the blood of the ancient elves, she did not have the gentleness of the elves at all, and the killing was terrifying, until she later married General Lance and became a good wife and mother.
At this time, as soon as Mrs. Lance opened her mouth slightly, the air in the whole room seemed to be a little colder, and the Kylos, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but secretly speak!
Gian felt the cold gaze of Madame Lance, and his heart was also beating, but what should be said still had to be said, and it couldn't be avoided!
"Uncle and aunt, listen to me slowly. Ji An prepared a slight statement in his heart, and then said stubbornly, "After two days of investigation, with Moon Street as the center, a lot of hidden dangers have indeed been found, and there are many large and small forces that have secretly laid down various networks by taking advantage of the convenience of commercial channels!"
General Lance frowned slightly, and just wanted to speak, but Mrs. Lance took the lead: "Don't talk about this nonsense! I just want to know the result related to my daughter's distress!"
Everyone in the living room was silent, and Ji An smiled bitterly, but he had to answer: "This...... The findings on this matter are...... Didn't find any valuable information!"
Madame Lance said coldly, "What does this mean?"
Ji An saw sweat on his forehead and said: "After careful investigation, except for the remaining illusion fragments, there is nothing abnormal in that shop, and all the personnel in the store have not found any suspicious information, as for the illusionist they met, no trace has been found yet!"
Kylo sighed in his heart, about this investigation result, it was completely expected by him, but in such a complicated illusion, he couldn't find any suspicious information, which further confirmed Kylo's previous conjecture!
Madame Reims was unacceptable to this result: "Can't find out, why are so many shadows in the palace eating!"
Ji An wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the shadow of the secret guard in the palace does exist, but it is all secret, and it is a bit inappropriate to be lifted to the table like Madame Lance!
But now that Madame Lance was angry, didn't she dare to speak without seeing General Lance?
Mrs. Lance also realized that she seemed to have gone too far, calmed down slightly, and continued: "Don't say anything else, what is that shop called? That Rose is the store manager, what have you found around this woman? Also, whose property is that shop? Have you checked the owner behind the scenes? Don't tell me that you are not good at it! If you can't find out, then I'll check it myself!"
Ji'an's face suddenly became even more ugly: "This...... Rose has been found, but only the body has been found, and after investigation, this Rose's identity background is innocent, as for the Rose they met, it should be disguised by an illusionist!"
The results of this investigation are also reasonable, although illusionists are often looked down upon by the world, but the illusionists they met really can't be viewed with common sense, and it is quite terrifying to be able to disguise themselves to the extent that outsiders can't recognize them!
"As for the owner behind the different red suits...... This ......" Ji'an was a little difficult to say.
Madame Lance snapped, "Who is it?"
Ji An gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile: "It's my ......"
As soon as Ji An's voice fell, everyone was stunned.
