"Agatha......" Luke was very helpless about this simple princess Dale: "Do you know that if you run away like this, you will most likely kill your sister Agatha." ”

Dale stopped eating and looked up at Luke, "How is that possible?" Sister Agatha is the eldest princess, who leads the Imperial Intelligence Agency. With so many people protecting, who can harm her? ”

"Your Majesty Our Emperor."

Dai Er was even more unconvinced: "Your Emperor His Majesty is our father, and my father likes Sister Agatha the most. Before my sister moved out of the palace, she was already canonized as the eldest princess. ”

"Explain it to me...... Why does Your Majesty keep releasing news to the outside world that he wants to marry you to me, but I have been in the imperial capital for so many days, and he neither summons me nor decrees marriage? ”

"How do I know what my father thinks? Perhaps, it may take another test to test you. ”

Luke knew that Dale really didn't understand the turmoil of the imperial court, and said, "Test me? My performance in the city of the Furious Waves is enough to satisfy any test of His Majesty, and he is waiting for me to pledge my allegiance and offer the city to him.

As long as he gets these two things, His Majesty will immediately decree the marriage. ”

Dai Er asked puzzledly, "Isn't your work for Sister Agatha just working for your father?" Isn't the city of Angry Waves already under the direct jurisdiction of the Empire? ”

"But Your Majesty doesn't think so, and it's true that Angry Waves City has not returned to the direct jurisdiction of the Empire, it is under my control. It is precisely because of Angry Waves City that His Majesty is willing to use a princess to win me over.

The current situation at the Imperial Court is ...... As long as I present the city of angry waves to Your Majesty, the power and honor that the eldest princess now has can be stripped of with a single word. ”

"I don't believe it, you must be lying to me!"

"Believe it or not, think for yourself, think about what kind of person your father was. If you die, or go missing, Your Majesty will lose the best bargaining chip for me to betray the eldest princess and serve the past.

You say Your Majesty will suspect who did this?

How many people in the entire city of St. Lun have the ability to arrange an assassination against the royal princess in the imperial city?

In the past, His Majesty may have only doubted the eldest princess's loyalty, and after he successfully seized the power of the eldest princess, he should not do anything that endangered the eldest princess's life. But from tomorrow onwards, everything will be different. ”

Luke's words made Dale really scared.

She couldn't understand the political struggles of the court before, but this time she did, and she knew what kind of person Augustine the Great was.

If he dies, whoever benefits the most will naturally be the biggest suspect in the layout of this assassination.

Dale felt cold in her hands and feet, and her heart was filled with a sense of desolation.

She asked Luke, "Who did that?" ”

"I want to know too."

The room became quiet, and both of them fell into deep thought.

Luke really didn't know who did it, after all, the plot had changed a long time ago, and Dale didn't appear in Downtown.

After a while, Daile let out a long breath and a smile on her face again: "At least you saved me, it means that there are still people who love me...... No, no, I didn't mean that! You work for Sister Agatha, and she loves me so much that she will protect me.

Tomorrow you escort me back to the palace, and you will be able to clear Sister Agatha's suspicions. I can find another chance to run away later, and this time I must not affect her. ”

Luke stared at Dale for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "How did the Augustine family produce such a princess as you."

I am the one who saved you, and the one who tracked you down was the clear sky...... From the time I saw you until now, I didn't say that Agatha ordered me to do it. The only people who know you're here are me, Clear Sky, and my retinue Fast Legs. ”

"What do you mean?"

The meaning is obvious...... Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is the prime suspect in your assassination. ”

Dale felt like she was going crazy: "What the hell are you trying to tell me?" You just said that assassinating me would put Sister Agatha in danger; Now she says she is...... is the prime suspect in my assassination.

Don't you think what you're saying is very illogical? ”

"Is there one?" Luke recalled what he had said: "There is no problem with logic! Any suspicion can turn into truth before the truth of the matter emerges.

This matter will bring danger to the eldest princess, but there is also luck. Otherwise, there is only a crisis, isn't she the least suspicious person? ”

"But you're an Imperial agent, working for Sister Agatha."

"It's so hard to communicate with you!" Luke shook his head bitterly, "Anyway, you just need to know...... I have my principles and positions. Your escape has caused me a lot of trouble, and it has also added a lot of uncertainty to the imperial court struggle. ”

Dale glared at Luke, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

"You are given two options:

The first is that tomorrow I will send you into the upper city, and then you will go back to the palace by yourself. You say that you were frightened by the assassination, and you accidentally fell into the river, and you didn't dare to come back until dawn. Don't say you're here, and you can't say you've met me.

The second is that you stay in Downtown...... But with the identity I arranged for you. Don't run away, do what I told you to do honestly. Your disappearance will surely cause turmoil in the court, and I will have a chance to find out who assassinated you. But if the situation at the palace gets out of hand, you must go back and let things resume. ”

Dai'er looked confused: "What do you think I should choose?" ”

"I want you to pick the first one. As long as you don't leave the palace gate, you're still safe. The palace struggle continues to maintain a low intensity to the benefit of all......"

"I'll pick the second one, but you can't arrange me to do what I don't like to do......"

Luke looked at Daile unsteadyly, "Are you kidding me?" ”

Daile smiled slyly, "Don't think I'm easy to deceive. Someone tried to assassinate me, and I went back stupidly, and I had to hide that you saved me. You're safe, and I'm going to resist all the dangers.

You're more afraid than anyone else about getting out of control now, and if I stay in Downtown, you'll have to protect me. Only then will I be able to help you stabilize the situation when necessary.

I don't know how long I can hide here, but I can play for a few days, which is much more free than being locked up in the palace.

Feed...... You don't want me to go back! If you dare to force me back, I will say that you saved me! ”

Luke was stupid.

I haven't encountered this situation since I crossed over...... I was actually blackmailed, and I was manipulated to death.

You big-tailed wolf, you've been pretending to be a sheep in front of me!

Luke thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a way to throw this hot potato harmlessly.

Dale nervously continued to eat.

Luke can only reluctantly accept the reality and try to control this Princess Dale in his own hands.

I hope she doesn't make any more trouble for herself.

"Good, good, good. You can stay here, and as long as you don't run away, I'll try not to interfere with your freedom.

You already have a name, Jasmine...... Identity is my wife. ”

Dale looked up at Luke again vigilantly, "Why wife?" ”

Luke, who felt that he had won a game, smiled and said: "Being a maid, you have to do laundry, cooking, and cleaning the whole building, I don't think you can be a good maid who will not be doubted."

Be a daughter...... You're significantly too old.

Be a sister...... There is a big difference in how we look.

Only being a wife can explain the intimacy we live in.

If you can't accept it, go back to the palace. Life outside is not as beautiful as you imagined, no one respects you and gets used to you......"

Who would want Daile to say: "Life in the palace is not what you think. Isn't it just pretending to be your wife? I'm pretending to be ......"

Luke spread his hands: "Okay, I won't suffer anyway." ”

Only then did Dale, who was a little choked, realize what she had promised, and she immediately lowered her head and pretended to eat to hide her reddened cheeks.

But she suddenly raised her head again and said, "It's broken! Aside from you, Fast Legs, and Sister Sunny Sky, there's one more thing that knows who I am. ”

Luke, who was still admiring Dale's embarrassment, suddenly became nervous: "Who is it?" ”

"A Shadow Parasite Iterator ......"

Dale tells Luke about her encounter with the Shadow Parasite iteration, and finally says, "I swear in my mother's honor that I will set it free, and I can't help it." And I thought I'd leave Downtown soon, and then leave the Empire, didn't think about it...... I didn't expect to be caught by you, and I still want to stay here.

I knew it would have followed me, now what? ”

Luke seriously suspects that God has seen that he has too easy a plot, and deliberately sent Daile to make it more difficult for him.

Such a rare species as the Shadow Parasite Iterator could be encountered on her way to escape, and she also let this iteration go!

Malken's Shadow Parasite research project is one of the results of a transcendent creature cultivation that Luke focused on during his infiltration into the Lower City.

Malken was once a senior transcendent breeder at the Imperial Transcendent Species Breeding Center, and was one of the core members of the Shadow Parasite research and development project. It's just that his R&D theory and path have not been adopted by the team, so he has the idea of stealing an iteration.

As a result, the theft failed, and he was expelled from the Imperial Transcendent Species Breeding Center. But Malcoln did not give up, he came to the lower city, and quickly became a pivotal figure in the lower city with his superb transcendent transformation technology and the relationship with the transcendent species breeding center.

According to the normal plot, Malken successfully received the Shadow Parasite iteration and carried out his unique research and development direction. Soon he came up with a result...... Psychotoxins.

It is a more violent mental power-boosting toxin than a berserk potion.

He then used psychotoxins to develop extremely powerful weapons of war...... Mind Eater, which is then controlled using a modified Shadow Parasite Iterator.

Luke has no interest in the Mind Eater, but rather in how to effectively control the Shadow Parasite Iterator. It's a complex set of know-how, and there's no detailed information in the game's story, other than that Malken developed this and that.

In Clear Sky's hand is a Shadow Parasite iteration, which comes from Grover. While Grover is currently the best Shadowparasite transcendent modification, his performance is ...... It shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the shadow parasite iteration body he left behind.

Right now...... The Shadow Parasite Iteration that was supposed to go to Malken's hands was unexpectedly let go by Dale.

Forget it, it's better to find a cat or dog to be his host than a mouse. The lower city is infested with rats, and it is not much easier to find the shadow parasite iteration from it than to find a needle in a haystack.

"On the garbage boat, where do you ask me to find the kittens and puppies? And the kittens and puppies are so cute, I just found a host that wouldn't let them be the iterative body of the Shadow Parasite. ”

What a hassle!

Luke said, "It's not just a matter of finding the Shadow Parasite Iterator! That thing was what Malken wanted, and now that he has lost it, he will definitely use any means to find it.

You and I walked all the way from the drain tonight, and I don't know how many people saw you. I thought that the light was dim, they couldn't see you clearly, and they could fool you by giving you some disguise, but someone must know me. ”

Dai Er asked worriedly, "Are you in danger?" ”

"Dangerous...... Not. Luke thought quickly: "I'm the buyer who sent them money, and Malken won't do anything to me without direct evidence, but there must be a lot of trouble." Now that you want to go back, I can't send you away. Cooperate with me in acting, don't let them see that we are a pretending couple. ”

"Ahh

"Ah what? You are the one who caused the disaster, and I was affected by you. If my prediction is correct, tomorrow Malcoln will invite us over. If he sees anything, we won't make it out of Downtown.

I can't sleep tonight. ”

"Why can't you sleep?"

"We're going to make a confession...... No, we need to get to know each other. For example, if I like to eat fillip and foie gras, but you say that I like caviar with bread, is this a normal couple's relationship? ”

"No, do you really like to eat phyllfish and foie gras?"

"No, I made it up."

"I like to eat...... Fish soup, chicken salad, avocado baby fish, steamed egg and meat rolls, braised potatoes, shrimp jelly, egg tomato salad, conger eel soup, fried scallops with foie gras, live shrimp with crab roe, red stewed pork mix, curry smoked shrimp segments, pan-fried lobster meat, balsamic vinegar flavored roast chicken, tomato thyme cod, baked asparagus, baby fish custard.

These are all true. ”

Luke watched Dale continue to cook, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really a foodie.

Luke went on to ask, "Women have a few days of discomfort every month, what day are your days?" ”

Dale almost choked on this question, and she hurriedly took a sip of water: "Do you still want to say this question?" ”

Luke looked at Dale.

Daile's eyes dodged: "And who would ask such a question?" ”

Luke continued to look at Dale.

"I regret it, I want to go back to the palace."

"If you can't get over tomorrow, you'll have to go back to the drain."

“******……”

"Be louder! Say it slowly! Don't tie your tongue in a knot! ”

……

Drain, a gray rat swims from the water to the shore. Not far away, on a garbage boat, a thug whipped the captain with a leather whip, and the scavengers pushed and shoved to break through the thugs' blockade.

The rat that came ashore shook off the water, and its nose sniffed on the ground as if it was looking for something. A snake sprang out of the grass, and it shot like an arrow at the mouse. At this time, the mouse suddenly turned around, and the red light in the two little eyes flickered, and the snake snapped and fell in front of the mouse.

The rat pounced on it and gnawed at the snake.
