Chapter 811 Her Royal Highness the Princess was assassinated!

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

At the banquet, Princess Mila held up the red wine in her hand and looked at the panicked bartender standing at the edge of the stage.

Bai Hejing, who was on the side, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and looked up at the princess in front of him in surprise.

[Did she find out? 】

"Um, Your Highness the Princess..."

Before the bartender said anything, the host next to him couldn't stand it.

"You, you... are you... that, now you want to give a speech..."

Help...what on earth is going on? Can we just finish the banquet smoothly? He is just an ordinary host, why should he go through this kind of suffering?

"Then what is the princess doing? Isn't she the one who should toast and give a speech? This unruly and willful temper is worse than miles away!"

Off the stage, Mouri Kogoro looked at this scene and frowned immediately.

But Megure Thirteen next to him vaguely realized something. He grabbed Mouri Kogoro with one hand and walked through the crowd towards the bartender, while using the micro walkie-talkie on his collar to contact other police officers.

"Don't be poor, Maori! I'm afraid there's something wrong with that bartender! The rest of you! Move closer to the target! Be careful of other dangerous elements that may be in the crowd!"

"Didn't you hear that?!"

Amidst the whispers of everyone at the banquet, Princess Mila on the stage once again shouted an order to the bartender:

"I asked you to come over and drink this glass of wine!"

For some reason, the bartender just looked flustered and couldn't say a word. The guests near him seemed to be vaguely aware of something and subconsciously stayed away from him.

[This man has no chance. 】

Seeing this, Bai Hejing shook his head slightly, also took out the mini walkie-talkie that was pinned in his collar in advance, and said to Gin who was still standing guard outside the hall at this time:

"Qin, get ready to arrest the bartender who just came in."

I just hope I can get some useful evidence from this person...

The next moment, the panicked bartender seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face, took out a knife from his sleeve, and rushed towards Princess Mila with a roar.

"It's an assassin! There is an assassin!"

"what--"

"Quick! Stop him!"

"Protect Princess Mira!"

"Watch the crowd! Watch out for the crowd! Don't let anyone get close to Princess Mira!"

In the midst of all kinds of screaming and chaos, Count Chiss quickly protected Princess Mira behind him, stepped forward and kicked the bartender to the ground, and then several plainclothes policemen, including Megure Thirteen, quickly rushed forward. , using his weight advantage to completely knock him to the ground.

After that, Gin, the security guard who was standing guard outside the hall, rushed in with his people. While maintaining order in the hall, he tried his best to get closer.

In this chaotic scene, only Princess Mila, who was also a little panicked, looked back at Bai Hejing, who was standing calmly behind her.

"..."

"In the red wine just now, the police found a lethal amount of poison."

After the commotion at the banquet, in the hotel conference room, Mu Mu Shisan said with a serious face:

"Count Chiss, we believe that the reason why this happened is due to the lack of close cooperation between the kingdom's security guards and the police.

I sincerely hope that in the next trip, we can cooperate sincerely to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess. "

Opposite him, Count Chiss was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to him and his hands in his pockets.

"Officer Megure, I have said this many times. It is enough that the Royal Guards are responsible for the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Huh?!" When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately became angry.

"How dare you, the royal guards who can't even take care of the kitchen, say such things so brazenly?!"

"Regarding this matter, we have reminded Her Royal Highness the Princess before the banquet begins that she will not be allowed to have direct contact with any food at the banquet."

"Is that what I mean?! I'm questioning the professionalism of your royal guards! You stinking Earl!"

"Hey! Maori! Calm down..."

The quarrels in the conference room kept coming. In the princess lounge next door, Princess Mila sat on the luxurious sofa, closing her eyes and relaxing.

Her face was a little pale, and she was obviously frightened by the previous commotion.

Bai Hejing poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the table in front of her.

"Your Highness, please use water."

Princess Mila opened her eyes after hearing this, but when she saw the glass of water in front of her, her expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously reached out and knocked it over to the ground.

"I don't want it! Take it away!"

The water glass spun several times in mid-air, and the water inside spread all over the floor, making a large area of ​​the surrounding carpet wet.

"Your Highness, please don't worry! This is the water we prepared!" Another maid was startled and quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

【Really...】

Bai Hejing looked down at the large pool of water stains at her feet. She remained silent for a while, closed her eyes slightly, sighed softly, then went to the side to get a towel, knelt on the ground and started wiping.

[Why on earth would I do such a thing in such a place...]

Seeing this scene, a trace of apology flashed across Princess Mila's face. She bit her lip, looked at the other maid, and said:

"Okay, okay, stop talking! You go out first!"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess..."

After glancing at Bai Hejing, who was still kneeling on the ground cleaning up, the maid wanted to say something, but in the end she lowered her head and left the room.

As the door closed, only Bai Hejing and Princess Mira were left in the room.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Princess Mila's quiet voice suddenly came from above her head, almost making Bai Hejing suspect that her ears were hallucinating.

"Your Highness...are you talking to me?"

She raised her head and asked, only to see Princess Mila suddenly look crazy, shouting in a self-defeating tone:

"I, I'm saying sorry to you! I just... didn't mean to overturn the glass of water on purpose..."

At the end of her speech, her voice became softer again, her head lowered, and her expression became a little sad.

"I didn't mean to deliberately embarrass you...I'm really...sorry..."

This unruly and willful Princess would actually apologize?

This really surprised Bai Hejing.

Of course, she is a very talkative person. Since you have already apologized, she will naturally choose to forgive.

"I understand...but it is our responsibility to take care of you. Your Highness has nothing to apologize for."

Feeling that the water stains on the ground were almost cleaned, Bai Hejing stood up and prepared to leave, so that the princess could be alone for a while.

"I actually...wasn't like this before..."

At this moment, Princess Mira suddenly spoke.
