Chapter 810 How pitiful, Your Highness the Princess...

"I've kept everyone waiting! Now, please give me a warm round of applause to welcome tonight's special guest! Princess Mila of the Kingdom of Besbania!"

Amidst the warm welcome of the host and the applause of celebrities in the hall, Princess Mila, who was dressed in a dress and bejeweled, and accompanied by Count Chiss, slowly walked onto the stage that was spotlighted by all the lights.

"Oh! That's the princess! She is really beautiful!"

In an inconspicuous corner of the hall, Mouri Kogoro looked at Princess Mira who was shining brightly on the stage and couldn't help shouting.

Beside him, Mugu Shisan was quite serious, staring at the surroundings cautiously, and at the same time whispered through the walkie-talkie on his collar:

"The princess is out! Everyone keep an eye on the guests. Anyone who wants to go out at this time must have someone keep an eye on them!"

"Oh! Brother Memu, did you see it? That princess is really beautiful!"

"Asshole! We are on a mission! Maori, please be more serious!"

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

In the low-pitched discussion of everyone in the hall, Her Royal Highness the Princess on the stage was arranged to sit on a chair in the middle, Count Chiss sat next to her, and Bai Hejing and another maid stood further on the stage. side.

"Princess Mira, can you say a few words to the guests here?"

The banquet was proceeding step by step, and the host looked at Princess Mila with a smile.

However, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Her Royal Highness the Princess just looked down at the table in front of her, neither saying a word nor responding to any look. She sat there motionless, like a puppet.

【What a wayward princess you are...】

On the side, Bai Hejing sighed softly in her heart. She even admired her courage. This was the truth.

For a moment, the hall fell into an embarrassing silence, and some people could even hear whispers.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

"Why didn't you say a word? Could it be..."

At this moment, Earl Chiss beside her suddenly stood up, took the microphone in front of Princess Mila, and said with a smile:

"Princess Mila is very happy to be visiting Japan for the first time, and she is also happy to meet all the guests present today."

"Ah, ah..." The host was stunned for a moment by this change, and then quickly put on a professional smile and continued to advance the banquet.

"So, is there anything Princess Mira wants to visit when she comes to Japan this time?"

"Her Royal Highness has always wanted to visit Kyoto."

"Ah, yes... then, does Princess Mira have any favorite Japanese food?"

"Her Royal Highness likes sushi very much."

"Then Princess Mira..."

The embarrassing Q&A was still going on. Princess Mila just sat there motionless throughout the whole process. She had to carry out the word "wooden man" to the end and let Count Keith and the host next to her ask questions. answer.

Finally, after asking several questions, the host seemed to feel that this session could not continue, so after asking again, he quickly said:

"Then! Next, we will ask Princess Mira to give us a toast again! Everyone! Please raise the wine glass in your hands!"

When he said this, the host was sweating profusely. If Princess Mila was still sitting there motionless at this stage, then he really didn't know how to smooth things over next.

He is just an ordinary worker, why should he be tortured like this?

The slight sound of the trolley sounded in the hall, and as the host finished speaking, a bartender and waiter approached the stage pushing a trolley containing a bottle of expensive red wine.

It is said that the royal family of the Kingdom of Besbania has its own unique taste. This bottle of red wine was specially prepared by the bartender in the hotel according to the requirements.

When the bartender approached the edge of the stage, Bai Hejing, a maid, stopped him from moving forward and took the red wine from his hand. [Strange, this smell...is it the smell of smoke? 】

Bai Hejing frowned slightly as she took the red wine and turned around to walk towards Princess Mila in the middle of the stage.

She just smelled a faint smell of smoke from the bartender.

She smelled it right, because her good partner Gin had the habit of smoking, so she was familiar with this unpleasant smell.

[But, logically speaking, due to work requirements, bartenders generally don’t smoke, right? 】

[Especially at such a critical time...]

【Could it be? ! 】

Suddenly, as if thinking of some possibility, Bai Hejing's expression changed slightly, and she looked down at the red wine in her hand.

There must be something wrong with this bottle of red wine...no, it's the bartender.

The bartender wouldn't smoke at a time like this, but the would-be murderer would, because he needs a cigarette to calm himself down.

This wine may have been poisoned.

That Duke Kilard, can't wait to take action?

During this trip to Japan, His Royal Highness the Second Prince had already told them that his uncle, Duke Kilard, would definitely seize this opportunity to attack Princess Mila.

Her and Gin's mission is not to stop this, but to follow the trend and seize the evidence of Duke Kilard's murder.

【How pitiful...】

Slowly pouring the red wine in his hand into the wine glass in front of Princess Mila, Bai He glanced at the expressionless princess beside him.

My mother and eldest brother died tragically, and my remaining uncle and second brother are all eager for you to die quickly so that they can make a big fuss out of your death.

It's really pathetic.

The remaining conscience pricked Bai Hejing's chest. Her hand in pouring the wine paused for a moment, allowing the red wine to stir up a little hop in the glass and almost spilled it.

Seeing this scene, the wooden princess seemed to have finally gained a bit of vitality. She raised her head and glanced at Bai Hejing beside her in confusion.

【This has nothing to do with me...】

The wine was almost poured, Bai Hejing avoided her eyes and slowly put away the red wine bottle.

[Your Highness, I’m really sorry. Your death is more in the interests of the organization. This is also my mission...]

Princess Mila kept staring at her, but Bai Hejing did not respond to her gaze the whole time. He just took the red wine bottle and slowly stepped aside.

"Then, Princess Mira, please give a toast."

The host's voice sounded again, and he looked at Princess Mila with a very forced smile.

Finally, Princess Mira withdrew her gaze from Bai Hejing. She slowly stood up and picked up the red wine in front of her.

Her eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and finally fell on the bartender standing on the edge of the stage.

For some reason, when he looked at her, a trace of panic suddenly flashed across the bartender's face.

As if she had finally confirmed something, Princess Mila looked at him and said her first words at today's banquet.

"You, come here and drink this glass of wine."
