Chapter 820 It’s time to go back

"Your Highness, we will hold a farewell press conference at the airport tomorrow."

After driving away Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro, Count Chis said to Shirakawa Shizu who was disguised as Princess Mira in the princess lounge.

"So? What do you want me to do?" Bai Hejing continued to imitate Princess Mila's tone.

"It's just a simple routine press conference. After it's over, we will leave Japan and return to Besbania."

"I'm not going!"

[Are you going back to Besbania tomorrow? 】

Bai Hejing frowned slightly when he heard this.

Time is so short. If this happens, she may not be able to change her identity with Princess Mira in time, and the real princess will be left in Japan... No.

The strange woman who called herself Fujiko Mine said that she was hired by the Earl of Chiss in front of her. Princess Mira was with her. It stands to reason that the current Earl of Chiss should already know the fact that she is a fake princess... …

Bai Hejing raised her head and looked at Count Chis before her. He had the same calm expression on his face as always. He was truly a loyal "butler".

Unless Fujiko Mine hasn't told him about Princess Mira? Or maybe... Fujiko Mine had deceived her before? She has nothing to do with Earl Chiss?

No, the latter shouldn't be possible. Bai Hejing doesn't think she would feel wrong in such a place.

That mysterious woman... had an aura similar to that of her mother. What Fujiko Mine told her at that time was absolutely true.

In other words, is Count Chis deliberately pretending not to know all this?

Is it because I don’t trust her...

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

Seeing Bai He's silence, Count Chis continued to speak:

"You just need to show up as you did at the banquet tonight, and I will be responsible for the specific questions and answers."

"Humph……"

"Then, Your Highness, please take a rest early. The press conference is scheduled for ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Count Chis turned and left the lounge.

Although Fujiko Mine told him that the fake princess in the room could be trusted, he still found it hard to trust such an unknown person on such a major matter that related to Princess Mira's life and death.

Anyway, he just needs a princess on the surface to act as a target to attract the attention of those people. He has already arranged the rest of the matter without the assistance of the fake princess...

"..."

"Huh~ It's almost time..."

The sun gradually rose. Early the next morning, Fujiko Mine leaned on the guardrail on the roof of a building and yawned.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go back?"

"Um……"

Beside her, Princess Mira, who had been walking around the streets of Tokyo for a whole night, looked slightly tired. When she heard Fujiko Mine's words, she nodded solemnly.

One night was enough for her to realize the identities of those who wanted to kill her. The thought of going back to that bad place made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Mine Fujiko reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile:

"Okay~ don't look so sad~ Come on~ smile~"

"Hey! What are you doing? Don't always pinch my face!"

After struggling to break away from Fujiko Mine's hand, Princess Mira subconsciously took two steps to the side.

"Okay, okay, don't hold back. Let's go. We should go back. I received news from Mr. Earl before that your little maid will leave to return to Besbania this morning. If we delay any longer, we will But it will be much later than them.”

"I understand, I don't mean to delay, it's just..."

Having said this, Princess Mila looked sad and sighed softly.

Seeing her look like this, Mine Fujiko blinked, and then raised his hand to touch her head, his eyes full of the care of the elders for the younger ones.

"That's where you should go back. As a king, no matter what dangers and obstacles lie ahead, you shouldn't feel afraid."

"I……"

"What's more, you are not alone. There are many people around you who are helping you in their own way, right?"

"I understand..." Rarely, Princess Mira did not slap Fujiko Mine's hand away this time.

"Hmm~ It's good to know. Let's go! Go back!"

"Ah! I can walk by myself! Don't drag me!"

"..."

On the other side, in a separate room in the airport waiting area, Bai He sat quietly by the window and looked at the specially cleared area in the distance of the airport, where there was a temporary platform.

A large number of reporters and security personnel surrounded the place. It was obvious that they were all waiting for Princess Mila, who was about to attend the press conference.

"Your Highness, the time for the press conference is coming soon."

In the room, Earl Chiss stood aside and spoke.

"I know."

Bai Hejing retracted her gaze and put down the cup of coffee in her hand.

"All you have to do is sit there and I will answer all your questions."

As if he was worried that Her Highness the Princess would cause trouble again, Earl Chiss repeated these words.

"We also do security work..."

"I said I already knew it!"

After replying to him according to Princess Mira's tone, Bai Hejing suddenly felt like she was a little dizzy.

Did you not sleep well last night?

No, this shouldn't be the case, and she belongs to the type of person who needs less sleep. Even if she doesn't get a good rest, she shouldn't...

The dizziness in her mind became stronger and stronger. Bai Hejing suddenly realized something and looked down at the cup of coffee in front of her that she had taken a sip of.

Was she drugged? !

Subconsciously raising his hand to support his forehead, Bai Hejing looked at Count Chis who was still standing beside him.

"In this coffee..."

This shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, even if Chis knew that she was a fake princess, there was no reason to do such a thing to her out of the need to protect the real princess.

Could it be that...he is also...

"It finally worked."

On the side, Count Chis watched Bai Hejing slowly fainting on the sofa, and his face finally showed an expression that looked like he was relieved.

"It takes so long for so many medicines to take effect. I almost wonder if you have some special drug-resistant constitution..."

After saying that, he turned around and clapped his hands gently, only to see two royal guards who had been waiting outside the door come in.

"Take Her Royal Highness with you. We will not attend the press conference. We will leave Japan directly."

Count Chiss ordered.

The press conference was a pretense that he deliberately put out to attract attention. He had no intention of showing up at all.

Those killers must be ambushing around there now. Humph, you are a bunch of idiots. Why do you still want to murder Her Royal Highness?

After coming back to his senses, Count Chiss noticed that the two royal guards who came in did not move, but froze in place, looking behind him with horror on their faces.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Frowning slightly, Count Chis also looked back.

"Ok?"

However, the moment he turned back, he only saw a figure flashing in front of him, followed by a sharp pain in his head, and he knew nothing.
