Chapter 120: Seeds
"Thief?" Hearing Abner's words, Furth was a little confused, but she was not the kind of girl who did not listen to persuasion, and knew that the other party would not say such things for no reason.
However, after she bowed her head slightly and said that she would move after she went back, she looked at Abner playfully and said with a smile: "In my case, it is generally recommended that girls move, and the final result is often to move to the male protagonist's house, and then a series of interesting stories happen...... I said, Abner, you wouldn't have that idea, would you? ”
If I have to have a home, I'm still living with my teacher...... As for the houses in the East End...... Ahem, why should I be thinking about this seriously? It's all to blame for Folth for diverting my train of thought.
After his thoughts diverged for a moment, Abner covered his forehead and said helplessly: "So I said a long time ago that there is something wrong with your plot. ”
"Your movements, your tone, are becoming more and more similar to Hugh......" Furth snickered as he covered his mouth.
While the two were talking and laughing, another guest walked in at the door of the hall.
It was a young lady who wore a green gown in a very simple style, with no ornaments other than the ring on her left hand. However, this lady has long black hair with a smooth and shiny body, a plump body, beautiful curves, and fair and delicate skin exposed, which is very attractive.
It's just that when the men around look at her face, they are a little disappointed. Because it was an extremely ordinary face, it can't be said to be ugly, but it will never be matched with beauty, which made many interested eyes instantly retract.
Still, there was a gaze on the lady, and the source of the gaze was none other than Miss Hazel.
Hazel didn't expect that an ordinary ball would meet guests with "treasures" one after another, but she didn't act rashly this time, wanting to wait for the ball to start and move more freely.
The simply-dressed lady seemed unaware of Hazel's frequent scrutiny, and calmly walked around Congressman Mahert and his party in the direction of the bathroom on the right side of the hall, only to show a playful smile when Hazel withdrew her gaze.
……
Outside the Daily Observer building, Hugh had just registered a guest when he saw a horse-drawn carriage with a dark and solid shell and a curtain on the inside of the window, with a coat of arms prominently placed on it. The main body of the coat of arms is a sword with a red crown on the hilt.
This ...... the "sword of judgment"...... The "sword of judgment" representing the royal family of Augustus? As a former aristocratic lady, heraldry was a must-have course, so Hugh recognized at a glance what the badge represented.
"It turned out that the big man who came was a member of the House of Augustus...... I don't know which prince or princess it is. Hugh thought this in his heart as he and his colleagues stepped forward to stop the carriage for inspection.
But her behavior was stopped by her superiors, and the carriage drove directly past the roadblock.
"We're here to secure him because we want to protect him...... He, naturally, there is no need to check. ”
……
Prince Edsax stepped out of the carriage, escorted by his butler Finkel, and looked with interest at the headquarters of the Daily Observer, and felt that the new building was structurally different from his old manor.
Then, he was about to say hello to the newspaper shareholders who had been waiting for him, when he saw a middle-aged man wearing a modified captain's hat approaching him.
Finkel, the butler, immediately stepped forward, stopped the visitor, then took off his hat, pressed it to his chest, saluted in the most standard manner, and asked, "Captain Kuhn, I don't know what you want to do?" ”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince...... But I would like to request one thing from you. ”
The person who came was none other than Kuhn, the captain of the Beckland Punisher Squad, whose face was very serious at this time, and although his words were humble, his tone was very tough.
"Captain Kuhn, His Royal Highness the Prince is going to the ball soon, how about I make an appointment for you to meet when it's over?" Butler Finkel replied with a polite smile.
"I'm talking about the ball!" Captain Kuhn didn't seem to be in the mood to argue with the butler, and looked directly at Prince Edsak behind him.
The prince frowned, but then stretched out and smiled, "Let him come, Finkel." As believers in the Lord, I trust the 'substitutes' who preach the power of the Lord on earth. ”
"As you wish, Your Highness." Finkel turned back and saluted, only to get out of the way and let Captain Kuhn step forward.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak, Your Highness the Prince." Kuhn first bowed, then went straight to the point, saying:
"The church used a '1' level seal before, and it was predicted that the person behind the believer who repeatedly attacked the Lord in the East, Bridge, and Docks will also appear at this ball, and we think that the target of that villain may be you...... So I'm asking that I and my team be able to hide in your entourage, and if there's any real danger, we'll be able to deal with it in time. ”
Hearing this, the butler Finkel directly interrupted: "Your Royal Highness, since there is danger, I think it is better to leave here immediately...... You are in a noble position, and there is no need to risk your life. ”
Kuhn, the captain of the punisher, frowned, if the prince of the heart path left, would that villain not come? However, he can't interfere with what the prince does, he can only see how the other party decides.
Prince Edsak's eyes flashed, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, since I have made a promise to Monsieur Pierre and Monsieur Larue, I cannot break my word. Otherwise, today's ball at the Daily Observer would have become a joke in the industry, and I can't embarrass my friends so much. ”
At this point, he paused, looked at Captain Kuhn again, and continued, "And I also trust that the Lord's 'substitute' will keep me safe. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness...... Although it happened suddenly, we were already prepared. "Captain Kuhn is confident.
At the same time, Cullen, the "coachman" who parked the carriage two blocks away, looked at the headquarters of the Daily Observer from afar, his brow furrowed slightly.
"There's something wrong with this atmosphere...... "The more he looked, the more depressed he became, he took out a mirror, prayed to the ancestor, and did a mirror divination.
Then, Karen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly summoned his messenger "Sirika", hurriedly wrote two letters to her, and said solemnly: "Sirika, this one will be handed to the captain, and the other one will be sent to my parents in the blood clan station, as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, the bird "Sirika" nodded her little head, picked up the letter, vibrated the silver-white illusory wings, and disappeared.
……
In the ballroom, as the most distinguished guests entered, including Councillor Makht, everyone turned to the young man who had come slowly under the guidance of the butler, and saluted respectfully:
"Good evening, His Royal Highness Prince Edsak."
Edsak? The big man who came to the ball in the mouth of the "desolate" turned out to be the third prince...... Speaking of which, there are several things I've recently encountered that are related to this prince, is it a coincidence? Or did he get involved with some witch again?
Well, ever since I was just "thinking" in the carriage, I always felt that everything was "arranged"......
Abner shook his head, no longer thinking about what he had or didn't have, and listened to the prince's speech as he and Furth ate the food on the long table.
"Thank you for coming...... Prince Edsak, who was standing on the second floor looking down, first said politely, and then said, "Our ball, because the sales of the Daily Observer surpassed the Tasock newspaper in the last week, and became the third best-selling newspaper in the kingdom......
"Hereby I declare that in my own name I will inject 3,000 gold pounds into the Daily Observer......"
It turned out that the prince had come to invest...... What is this? Take control of a media outlet and prepare a voice for yourself?
Abner put the matter aside with only a little thought, and it wasn't his business anyway.
When the ball began, Abner and Furth, who were almost full, invited each other to dance for the first time, not only to avoid the invitation of others, but also to eliminate the movement.
This annoyed Hazel, who had been paying attention to them, and seeing that the two did not stop for a moment, she looked around, and then her eyes lit up, for she saw that the simply-dressed lady who had given her a sense before was now sitting alone in the corner next to the bathroom, and no man invited her to dance.
Hazel rolled her eyes, asked her mother to go to the bathroom, and walked over to the lady.
……
The so-called ordinary lady in a simple dress is none other than the "Witch of Pain" Rey, who uses Bernard's identity and invitations to infiltrate the prom venue after her disguise, and then she discovers a lot of interesting things.
"The believers of the 'Mother' are also ...... However, she didn't seem to be in the right shape, and my little one told me she seemed to have some mental problems...... I still don't want to greet her rashly, lest I get into trouble.
"The punisher is here...... Hehe, the captain is also there, it seems that they really used that '1' level seal! After a few more uses, the accumulated negative effects cannot be simply sealed, and at that time, it will be able to attract those pretenders, and that is when I will do it.
"There's also a 'thief' lady who hit me up...... Hehe, maybe you can take advantage of her today. ”
Thinking of this, Rey looked at Hazel who was walking towards him, and a bright smile appeared on his face, even though this face was very ordinary, but it still made Hazel who had just come to the front stunned.
However, Hazel quickly came to her senses and pretended to stumble and fall into Rey's arms.
Rey's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to help her.
"I'm sorry! Lady. Hazel pretended to be flustered and apologized 'sincerely'.
"It's all right, little girl." Rey smiled and nodded.
Hazel didn't dare to stay longer, and pretended to be embarrassed and hid in the bathroom.
Then, she stretched out her palm and stared:
It was a verdant seed.
