Verse 81.The man who framed the Scarlet Princess

"That's not what I meant...... But doesn't it seem impossible? ”

Annan and Princess Crimson looked at each other, and saw the same thought in each other's red and black eyes.

Princess Crimson has asked people to pretend to be princesses to make things easier for Crimson Castle, but if she can form an alliance with the flower capital, even if she is friendly......

"Wouldn't it be too bold to do that......"

"I'll help you." Annan said seriously.

"I am the noble Scarlet Princess, and an alliance with humans will make my family ......"

"All the responsibility will be borne by your knight, me." Annan said firmly.

"I'm ......" Princess Crimson looked at Annan with emotion.

Looking at all this, Editia thought to herself that this would be the beginning of Princess Crimson's fall......

"I'm going to ask Lucy and Dracula first......"

In the end, Princess Scarlet still didn't make an impulsive decision.

"You should think about another thing...... "Why did the city guard know of the princess's arrival?" ”

"Because the big people entered the city, the city became more ...... than usual"

"It's not that simple...... Tell me what happened to them. ”

Annan recounted the experience from receiving the Scarlet Princess to meeting the city guards, and following them to the City Lord's Mansion.

"They carry silverware that kills the Bloodline?" Editia asked.

"We're not that vulnerable, and the silver will just slow down our recovery." Princess Crimson grumbled.

No one paid attention to her, and Annan was slightly stunned: "What do you mean......"

"Someone knew the princess's whereabouts in advance."

Annan couldn't help but think about who leaked the secret...... Crimson Castle? But the Scarlet princess should have gotten the news and rushed here, and they couldn't have been faster than her......

So it can only be this side of Huadu.

The people around the fake princess?

"But the strength of those city guards is not strong, if Princess Crimson wants to run, they can't catch her......"

"Needless to say." Princess Crimson looked up proudly.

"Maybe that's exactly what the man wanted...... "He wanted Princess Crimson to make a big fuss in the flower capital...... And nothing made the City Lord's Mansion furious more than killing a team of city guards. ”

"That's amazing...... "Princess Crimson couldn't think of it at all, "David's sister, don't you really want a first hug?" ”

Itilia said like a child, "If I regret it in the future, I'll come to you." ”

"Okay then."

"So the key is who notified the city guards? …… I'll investigate. ”

"I'm with you."

"No, you have more important things."

……

With no curfew, Annan certainly won't miss the opportunity to make money – the theater also has a late-night show, and ticket prices are halved.

There aren't many people who are willing to spend 1 gold to see magic images, but there are many people who think that 50 silver is so affordable that there are only a few fewer people in the late-night field than during the day.

The bustle of the theater made many vendors come here to sell goods, and Annan deliberately asked the person in charge to give them the open space in front of the theater, and their presence made the street in front of the theater prosperous, attracting more people.

"David, is this the important thing you said?" Princess Crimson looked suspiciously at Annan in a gray robe.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it is the duty of a knight to chop the waves for you."

"Then why are you wearing this?"

"You'll find out in a moment......"

Annan coaxed Princess Crimson to watch a movie, and then told the person in charge that after the screening, the sound of selling Philosopher's Stones must be loud, and Annan took off his gray robe and came to the city guard station.

As the king's knightess, Annan asked the captain of the city guard to recall the captain of the guard, who was still patrolling outside.

"How did you know we were going into town at night?"

The captain of the guard glanced at his commander and said truthfully, "My boss told me that there will be vampires entering the city tonight, so let's focus on patrolling the city gates......"

"Who is he?"

The captain of the guard remained silent, and the captain next to him asked, "Does this matter?" ”

"It's important." Annan exaggerated the seriousness of the matter, "Someone is watching the princess's every move, looking for her weaknesses, and wanting to attack her ......"

"If you can't be the master, I'll talk to your leader."

The soldier commander seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Lord Moreno is in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"I'll go find him." Annan walked out, remembered something when he got to the door, turned back to the captain of the guard, and said, "You are now involved in a conspiracy, beware of their desire to kill people." ”

As Annan set off, a shadow crept out of the city guard's garrison......

……

"This useless bunch of human ......"

In the garden cottage, the housekeeper in the living room let go of the bats that had come to report the news, and cursed in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" The fake princess asked.

"That knight is going to find me!"

"But didn't he already know who you were......"

"Shut up!"

The false princess asked in a bit of a panic, "Will he find out that I have taken refuge in you?" ”

"I told to shut up!"

The butler suddenly choked the fake princess's neck, just in time to be seen by Annan, who rushed to the scene.

"What are you doing? Let her go! ”

The butler panicked and let go of the fake princess, and she explained, "He's ...... Help me wipe my collar. ”

The housekeeper left in a hurry, and Annan retracted his gaze: "Remember, you are the princess's person, you are just pretending to take refuge." ”

Annan didn't want to see the fake princess being bullied by others with this face.

"Where's the princess?" The long-lost concern made the fake princess suddenly think that it might be a bad idea to take refuge in the housekeeper.

"She's looking at a magical image, I'm going to investigate something......"

……

A bat coiled over the flower capital lands in a house with open windows.

"Lord Earl, I messed up......"

He looked down and said to the figure by the fireplace that if Annan was here, he would recognize the figure as a vampire peeping through a rat hole.

"Didn't you do a good job of rebelling against the fake princess?" The elegant man does not lift his head.

"It's another thing...... I planned to let the fake princess lure the crimson princess to Huadu, and then let the humans catch her, but the knight seemed to know this in advance, and came out to meet the princess, and followed the clues, and he was about to find out that I had done it......"

After the butler finished speaking, a long silence fell in front of the fireplace.

"How dare you frame a noble councillor?"

The man in front of the fireplace looked up, and it was a pale, handsome face, with dark red pupils flashing with a hint of indifference.

The butler was uneasy: "Lord Earl, I'm just cleaning up the moths for the council!" ”

"Do you think you're qualified?" The Count stretched out his hand to the butler: "You are just a lowly servant, and you actually want to kill your master......"

"Spare me, Lord Earl, spare meβ€”"

The screaming butler was picked up by an invisible palm and exploded into a ball of flesh, and then pinched into a ball of blood by that force.

The Count caught the beads of blood, threw them into the fireplace, took out his handkerchief and wiped his palms, and smelled the smell of blood that gradually spread from the fireplace.

"Looks like I need a new servant......"
