It was already an hour after the banquet ended, and although there was an incident of assassinating the empress during the banquet, the nobles started their own bragging mode, driven by the strange story of Captain Ziegler. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info banquet was at least superficially grand and lively, which was enough to satisfy Leah.

After the nobles left, Ria also showed a hint of fatigue, and she spent the whole day on it, and it was late at night when the banquet ended. And tomorrow afternoon, her royal palace will have an even grander banquet than today, and the celebrities from all walks of life in the royal capital will gather here, including the group who want to take her life.

Isai Hyvog, Mor Powell, and Captain Ziegler were the three nobles who were most likely and capable of bringing the Assassins into the inner city.

"Teacher, I'll let Sister Karene arrange a place for you to live. Leah rubbed her temples, looking a little dazed.

She was suddenly a little unsure whether it was what she wanted to complete the reunion with her teacher in the lively foil of the nobles, and several nobles chatted during the banquet, but her teacher always frowned and had a solemn expression. Liya misses the days when she was smuggled out of the inner city by Lin Qiu.

It was the freest day she could remember when she didn't have to think about the impact her actions might have on the country, and she didn't have to worry about the Assassins hiding in the shadows.

"I was suddenly in a hurry. Lin Qiu pushed Alyssa in front of him and said in a comforting tone, "I'm sorry, Liya, let this big sister accompany you today." ”

Among all the people, only Alyssa and Helena could reassure Lin Qiu. Among them was Lilith, who was left to make her happy after Richard was unable to attend for some magical reason.

"I understand. Leah smiled: "I get along well with Sister Lilith, teacher, you can go and complete the important things!"

If it was Liya in the past, she would definitely hold his arm and coquettish him at this moment to prevent him from leaving.

The position of Empress has indeed changed Leah a lot, including her personality and her current situation. And Lin Qiu is not the stunned boy who was in a hurry to say goodbye to Liya and tried to catch up with the last wave of fried bread in the night market, after leaving the banquet hall, there are more important things waiting for him to complete.

Because during the banquet, an anxious female guard ran into the main hall at the risk of many nobles and muttered something in Coria's ear. And Ke Liya also told Lin Qiu the bad news.

Luna has been kidnapped, and there is not even a single witness left in her estate.

"Go and come back. Alyssa's response was much simpler, she didn't need to say much about Lin Qiu's trust, the only thing that made her a little unhappy was that she had to cooperate with Helena in the Senate. After all, she alone may not be able to protect the safety of everyone, including Anna and Rose.

"Remember to share the information with us. Helena was also a little disgusted, she thought that she could give Lin Qiu a lot of help in terms of intelligence and force, but this kid had been "biting her ears" with Coriya, so that she and Alyssa didn't hear any useful information.

Including Richard's disappearance and their chance encounter with Luna, they were also brushed aside.

"Get ready, when you get back, I'm going to have a critique with Alyssa!, Alyssa, right?" Helena deftly pulled Alyssa to the same front.

"Not true. Alyssa glanced at Helena.

Don't try to woo me with such a small trick.

She sent such a message to Helena with a disdainful look.

......

When Lin Qiu was brought to her manor by Coriya's men, even most of the servants were asleep, and there were only a few patrolling guards in the huge city, and the light of the torches could be seen everywhere, but the effect of their patrols was really unsatisfactory. The guards were in groups and excitedly talking about today's aristocratic feast, unaware of the Empress's near-assassination, and of the bloodied manor and kidnapped Luna when all of Corria's power was concentrated in the banquet hall.

"Yo! Isn't this Lord Tyr?" Seeing Lin Qiu, they greeted him happily. The guards had previously said that not even a single fly could fly into the inner city under their watchmen.

Yo, you'd better quit the group.

Lin Qiu was angry and didn't fight anywhere. But he knew he had to pay a lot of responsibility for this, and if he had realized Luna's special status, he wouldn't have left her alone at Corria's estate. He failed to realize the Chaos Cult's determination to win Luna, which was the fundamental reason.

"It's strange, did we provoke him?" After seeing Lin Qiu leave with a dark face, the guard who took the initiative to greet him asked his friend on duty with him inexplicably.

"That's your fault. ”

His friend thought he saw the essence of the matter, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't you see the beautiful woman behind him, no one wants to be found out by the guards when they are cheating!"

"But that man seems to be one of Coria's men. "The intelligence department of the Kingdom Army has always been a maverick, and in order to ensure that they can complete special tasks without hindrance, they have special attire, and they also wear exclusive armbands, and more importantly, Coria's subordinates are all women.

And they're all pretty women.

These ordinary guards have long been salivating over the intelligence services. At this, the guards looked at each other and smiled—this Tyre-Cyrus had accomplished what they had ever dreamed of accomplishing as soon as he came to the royal capital.

"Oh no, no good!" the two sighed with a wicked smile.

Then, not long after Lin Qiu and Ke Liya left, two sharp arrows pierced their throats. The smiles of the two guards stiffened on their faces, the torches in their hands fell down, and their mouths could only make "hiss" cross talk, and they could not even shout out words like "there is an intruder".

They watched as a figure dressed in black ran towards the inner city.

Before Lin Qiu reached his destination, the strong smell of blood that filled the air penetrated his nose. At this moment, the manor is crowded with people, and the people who are busy at the "murder scene" are all people wearing standard uniforms.

Seeing Lin Qiu coming in a hurry, Ke Liya raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's over there?"

In the banquet hall, she stopped Lin Qiu from leaving the table halfway. Lin Qiu is Empress Liya's guest, according to the rules of the nobles' game, if the invited guest leaves the table halfway, it means that he has disdain and contempt for the banqueter, which will make Empress Liya lose face in front of the nobles.

Lin Qiu thought about it for a while, and finally chose to stay there and let Ke Liya deal with what happened in the manor alone.

In fact, when she heard the information from her subordinates, she was also full of disbelief - her manor was located on the west side of the inner city, who could have the ability to attack her manor in the most heavily guarded inner city?

"The raiders were well trained, but more importantly, they seemed to know everything about the inner city...... The two men who stayed here to protect Luna were both former members of the Assassin Guild, and they were killed before they could react, which led me to a not-so-good idea. ”

"What assumptions?"

"Those assassins seem to have infiltrated my intelligence department. ”
