Chapter 331: You Confess First?
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The recommendation ticket is very powerful, thank you and thank you.
Some friends reported that this kind of palace fighting thing does not meet their appetite - I think this is the reason for the sluggish subscription these days. Okay, I'm probably too immersed in this tanuki for prince episode, so let's put an end for the time being and insert some ...... that everyone likes to see. Stuff is good.
However, this also needs to be foreshadowed.
ββ
Of course, someone didn't know that his unintentional words had diverted the attention of the Kingdom's secret agents from certain things. Glancing at the bronze streaked door, he turned to leave.
Originally, the purpose of coming here was just to see the situation...... For an old man with half a life left, he had no interest in nodding his head and bowing his head.
In fact, for him, the assassination of His Majesty the King is a very good opportunity, at least, it is impossible for anyone to suspect his relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess for a period of time, if this Majesty XiΓ hangs up directly, then it will be even better...... Well, although a widow is not so nice in name. But who cares? Anyway, it's not the Princess Cecilia herself who is being detained in the deep palace.
Of course, psychic warlocks aren't that boring to make a trip specifically for this purpose...... One of the more important reasons was about the Assassin.
Perhaps for a person who can read the minds of others, it is always faster and more accurate to obtain information than others, so just the sporadic information he has obtained before makes him vaguely feel something familiar. Luckily, the video footage that the spy had brought out was enough for him to be sure of something, and although it was only a flash, it was a somewhat familiar action...... Well, it should be said that it was a signature move, which was enough for him to be sure of the problem.
If there is no special coincidence, then this guy is naturally the one who has a grudge against Edward for killing his 'husband'. A psychic warrior who excels at spatial shifting.
Whether the Empire wants to give Tuminis a little color, or whether this young lady is unwilling to be lonely and takes on a big job, is not a very important question...... Here's the key point. The fragment of royal power in the young lady's hand. and, her murderous intent towards Edward.
The Psychic Warlock paced slowly, his brow squeezed into a deep Sichuan character in the shadow of the hood.
Although the second journey to the Dark Regions. Let his ability level have improved again, and the power of the psionic dimensional anchor that can restrain teleportation is no longer a problem, but the dimensional anchor is not omnipotent after all, if it can't hit the opponent, then it is meaningless, and for a skilled killer, his defense still seems to be not so perfect.
The most important thing is that he knows very well that his whereabouts now, after all, are not as good as before--in order to guard against another, more powerful being. He may only be able to move around the Magic Academy and his own territory, and although he is no longer what he used to be in terms of strength, it will take some time to achieve that kind of unscrupulous Cheng DΓΉ. And judging from what happened to His Majesty the King today, her strength is also improving, at least the gap between teleportations, but only a breath...... If Edward himself had been a little negligent, he might have been plotted by her.
What's even more troublesome is that she obviously has a team behind her - assassination. If you want to do it so neatly and leave no traces, either you have made a lot of preparations, or there are many people working with each other, so do you need to fill in some useful manpower?
Well, this trip to the underground is also quite fruitful, if you want to get something of value, or go to the old dwarf to get a good deal, is it a good choice?
But if you think about it carefully, that woman is not necessarily just a trouble, as long as you think of a way, maybe it will be a turning point.
"Your Excellency Viscount Edward Vincent?"
A voice interrupted the Psychic Warlock's thoughts, and he turned his head, then froze.
Not far behind him, a group of figures were striding in......
The man in the lead had a tall figure, neatly combed red hair, which seemed to indicate his deep blood relationship with the emperor, and a large hooked nose seemed to show the characteristic rebelliousness of his temperament, but this face was not too strict, but kind and lively, and a snow-white robe was not too decorated except for a few embroidery lines. If you just look at the smile on the outside, it seems to be a very likable guy.
However, Edward never had a good impression of the characters he remembered that he had no connection to.
Penta ...... The crown prince of the kingdom?
"Why, this is going back? Hurry here so that you don't meet Your Majesty? This is not in line with the duty of a courtier. Before the slightly astonished psychic could speak, the venerable figure had already spoken and smiled.
Although it was a laugh, the strange tone in the other party's tone was enough to make Edward's brow furrow.
"Your Highness, First greetings...... It's just that I'm here just to make sure that His Majesty's life is safe, and obviously, if His Excellency the priest who just released the news is credible, then that's enough. β
Lowering his head slightly, he stretched out his hand to touch his chest as a salute, and responded unceremoniously: "As for the duty of a courtier...... I don't remember that when His Majesty was injured in my country's legal code, I thought it was my duty as a courtier to do my best to do my job...... If the whole country now put aside what they were doing and came to visit His Majesty the King, wouldn't the country be in disarray?"
"Oh, according to your understanding, Your Excellency, what could be more important than the safety of His Majesty the King?"
Belt's eyes flashed fiercely, he was actually just casually mocking, but in exchange for such a more sinister remark, and he obviously didn't expect this young guy to dare to contradict him like this, so after a pause, the anger in his heart made him bite back without hesitation.
"Hehe......"
Raising his eyebrows, the Psychic Warlock secretly cursed a fool in his heart. This guy seems to be a talent, but he doesn't seem to have much groove in his head......
Unfortunately, for this kind of guy who comes to find trouble, the patience he has always lacked is even rarer.
"Rectify the law and order in the territory, arrest the bandits who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, inform the security of the territory, secretly step up the investigation of suspicious figures, and most importantly, appease the people. They were under the protection of the gods, His Majesty the King was safe and sound, and the despicable assassination plans of the Assassins had completely failed. The wedding of His Majesty the King is successfully completed, and the people of our country will surely receive the gods. Including the protection of the god of the mountains, I think, this is the obligation that every lord must do well in this situation. Of course, if I could, I would like to have His Majesty the King himself announce the news, preferably if he would appear before the people, so that it would be more effective than any explanation. β
"You ......" Prince Bert's face was instantly covered with a layer of iron, but after a pause, he didn't seem to be able to say anything.
As a matter of fact. There was nothing wrong with what the man said, but this kind of construction was not something that needed to be done in the small territory owned by the young man in front of him.
A viscounty of 10,000 people, I am afraid that only when there is a good harvest of food, people will leave a chance for His Majesty the king to be praised after praying. And it doesn't matter which king it isβand the reason why someone says that is only because these things should have been done by Romante.
In fact, for Edward, the courtiers of Tuminis, who are in a hurry and stupid today.
Or, this is the danger of long-term peace...... The king's injury is a matter of national morale, and spreading the word is not just a matter of disgrace......
Oh, there are some troubles that also concern him, that is, the matter of His Majesty the King and Braehawk - the news of the Emperor's assassination is so uproarious, if the Duke of Black Eagle learns about it and finds an excuse or something to preemptively strike, at that time, Edward's Burgundy may become the first place to be noticed. Maybe Blackhawk has already mobilized his army, and the central side is still clamoring for the transfer of command and something.
"You!"
The few people behind the crown prince were suddenly excited, but although they looked a little stupid, they were not brain-dead enough after all. also knows that the identity of the person in front of him is also extremely special, even the crown prince may not be able to really take advantage of anything...... Therefore, in addition to the grief and indignation of the lord's sorrow and humiliation, these guys have not been able to express anything.
"Very good building. β
The young prince's voice broke the awkward silence, and he also walked through the hall, but he did not bring his entourage like his brother, but followed by the demon wolf general with an indifferent face: "Brother, in fact, I have already discussed with several old ministers just now, and I hope that you will speak on his behalf and appease those civilians." β
"Actually, if you can, then it is not impossible to let His Highness Bert stare at the identity of His Majesty...... All it takes is a suit of armor, a little makeup, and a little magic to cover it up, and standing on the castle tower, this kind of problem will not be noticed by too many people. β
"Thank you for your advice, Lord Edward. β
"You're welcome, Your Highness the Prince. β
There was a very tacit dialogue, which excluded everyone, and the psychic warlock also gave a decent salute, but the difference in the title made His Royal Highness the crown prince's face darker again.
Alternating between cyan and red, the crown prince's gaze paused for a few breaths on the two opponents, and then, with a cold wind, he turned away, leaving only a heavy cold snort.
"I'm sorry, Lord Edward, though you may have something of your own, but, according to my father...... His Majesty has just given the order, and everyone present now cannot leave the palace for the time being, but I have already let ...... Well, I ordered them to arrange a place for you to live, and please rest in the West Reception Room for the rest of the night. Your friend is already one step ahead, and someone at the door will show you the way there. So, let's take my leave. β
Or maybe the rumors that stopped the assassin before were basically true, at this moment, the prince's face was a little pale, and he looked at his trainer with low spirits, his eyes flashed, but in the end he just nodded indifferently, as if he didn't want to say more.
Edward's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the thin figure leave. Eyes flickered.
For some reason, this guy always seems to give himself a strange feeling...... It's just a day away, but there's always something weird, or maybe it's just an illusion...... Because His Royal Highness the prince seems to have several more magical defenses on his body, the tentacles of the psychic warlock's mind are now completely unable to perceive the slightest bit of information on him.
Shaking his head, he brushed the strange perception aside.
Oh, yes. To him, these are just insignificant trivialities.
......
"What the hell is the damn thing, it's going to take so long! Bad band, rotten eggs!"
There was no doubt that Miss Lisa Lino Bili was in a state of anger at the moment.
The young lady muttered to herself. But alas, the object of the curse was not around, and she could only vent her anger with a bouquet of flowers, the poor branches that had been torn into countless pieces by her, and a small pile of petals piled up on the luxurious carpet.
"Hmph......" casually crushed the last stamen, and the half-elf's affection still did not seem to be alleviated, but there was really nothing to ravage as far as the eye could see, so she simply turned to words to relieve her anger: "Damn stinky Edward! Think I don't know? He must have something to do with that damn barbarian, maybe he has hooked up with him a long time ago! Damn, what's so good about that damn woman? The Krurod must have muscles all over his body! Even the two lumps on his chest are hard. Definitely!"
However, after cursing, the young lady seemed to think of something again, gritted her teeth viciously, and rubbed her breasts hard.
This action made Anna Sue, who was sitting quietly on the side, unable to help but sigh.
"What do you like about him? He seems to have nothing but strength. There is nothing to be desired, very insidious and stupid, very bad-tempered, not very handsome, and very selfish. If you don't follow the law, what is there about such a person to do for him?" she asked, after a pause.
"Oh, that's a lot of questions, but it sounds like a little girl commenting on her man?"
The half-elf tilted his head in dissatisfaction and chuckled, but soon his smile changed to a thoughtful look: "yes, what do I like about him......?" Or, because he's very selfish, as long as it's his things, he will be completely in his own hands, and he will be very good to them, and he may not care how much he pays. So, I think the feeling of being with him and being protected by him should be considered very good. β
"That's all?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"Of course it's not enough, you don't like him like this...... Well, or, perhaps, enough. Anna Sue argued for a moment, but finally sighed: "Since you like him, you might as well make it clear to him? Men are very sluggish creatures, and if you don't say it, he may never find out, or he will think that you don't have such thoughts and retreat." β
"yes. This guy seems to be really sluggish sometimes. So, you're saying that I should take the initiative to dedicate myself, but that's a bit ......" The little girl snorted, but quickly diverted her attention: "Just talk about others, but what about yourself? Have you ever thought of confessing to him first?"
This rhetorical question made the staff lady's face blush slightly, she gently raised the wine glass in her hand, but her tone was as calm as ever: "I have said it a long time ago, this matter has nothing to do with me, who he likes, or who he has anything to do with, is his business, and I, I am just an unlucky prisoner, I can only help him manage some things in the territory, as for him...... It should be a good boss, but that's about it. β
"Is that really all there is to it?"
"Well, that's not bad either. Although that guy looks serious, he seems to be actually very, and you seem to have told me before, and he has some ...... with your cousin or something It's dirty, and this time, well, can't I let this kind of opponent increase until I'm here enough to grow...... Otherwise, he might be able to attack you one day, so why don't I just let you go?" Miss Lisa nodded: "Yesterday, and at today's banquet, there were a lot of young talents around you in front of and behind you, did you have a crush on any of them? I asked Edward to arrange arrangements for you, and as for the contract between us, it will be written off in this way, I will return the contract to you, and you will go and get married, right?"
"If this is used in exchange, please forgive me for not accepting it. This absurd reason made Miss Staff a little angry and funny for a while, but after serious consideration, she
It's just that Miss Half-Elf obviously didn't want to end the conversation there, and after a pause she showed a sudden expression: "Ah, by the way, what do you like about you, Tiberius Gracchus?"
"He, no, we're close, but not the way you think. The name, which seemed to have been lost for a long time, made Anna Sui's eyes dim slightly, and she shook her head: "He's my half-brother, so there won't be anything between us." β
"Oh, blood ties...... However, the warlocks don't seem to care about this ......."
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
