Chapter 830: Got plotted again
After discussing the specific plan, it was already afternoon, and everyone temporarily separated, waiting for the final moment in the evening.

Among them, Mine Fujiko was called to his room by Count Chis.

"Ms. Fujiko, this matter about Your Highness the Princess is really troublesome for you."

Sitting on the sofa, Count Chis pushed all the large box of banknotes in front of Fujiko Mine.

"You're welcome, this is my job after all~"

Mine Fujiko accepted all the box of banknotes with a smile and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Besides, I actually didn't help much. Mr. Earl should mainly thank little Chris~"

These things were the reward she and Count Chis agreed upon to bring Princess Mira safely back to the Kingdom of Besbania.

After all, Fujiko Mine is the woman who loves money the most in the world.

"I understand." Count Chis smiled and nodded, and asked at the same time:
"Is just cash enough? If Ms. Fujiko is willing, we can also transfer money and checks..."

"Ah, no need, I only believe in cash~"

"That's it..."

Earl Chiss asked no more questions, and instead asked about Princess Mila.

"So... did the princess have fun in Tokyo this time?"

"Of course, just like a child, I played from night to day and was very happy." Fujiko Mine's tone became softer.

"Yeah, that's good..." Upon hearing her answer, Count Chis couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

"Besides, the child seems to have grown a lot."

Looking at Mr. Earl in front of him, Fujiko Mine spoke seriously.

"She may not be a good politician, but at least for Besbania, I think she would make a very good king."

"Lend your blessings."

Count Chiss immediately stood up and bowed to Fujiko Mine.

"Ah! Mr. Earl, you are too polite~"

Fujiko Mine quickly stood up to avoid it, and at the same time, he picked up the big box full of money at his feet and said with a smile:

"Then, please allow me to leave for a while. Don't worry, I will definitely come back in the evening."

"it is good."

Count Chis didn't think much about it and just assumed that Fujiko Mine was looking for a place to store the box of money.

However, is this really the case?
"..."

"Uh huh huh~"

After leaving Count Keith's room, Fujiko Mine's face was full of happiness, and she even hummed a song softly.

"Lupine~I won again this time~"

Fujiko Mine said something that was a little confusing, and the happy-looking Fujiko Mine didn't even notice Shirakawa Shizu and Princess Mira who had just walked out of the gun warehouse.

"Chris, isn't this shotgun the one my eldest brother used when hunting?"

Looking at the shotgun in Bai Hejing's hand, Princess Mira had an ugly expression on her face.

After leaving the conference room, Bai Hejing said she wanted to come to the gun library to find some evidence, so she followed him.

The Kingdom of Besbania has strict management of guns. Even members of the royal family who want to use guns must go through strict registration and cannot be used casually.

After the hunting accident that resulted in the murder of both the former queen and the eldest prince half a month ago, Earl Chiss, who sensed a possible conspiracy, immediately took the shotgun used by the eldest prince during the hunting, as well as Kira who was at the scene at the time. Duke De's shotguns and pistols are sealed in this gun library and no one is allowed to use them without authorization.

Thanks to this, Bai Hejing was able to find this most critical evidence.

"Your Highness, this is not the shotgun used by His Highness the Prince."

Just opening the shotgun and taking a look at the bullets inside, Bai Hejing confirmed his answer.

"Huh? No? But..."

"The one in your hand is the shotgun that His Highness the Prince actually used during his lifetime."

Princess Mila also holds a shotgun in her hand. The model is exactly the same as the one in Shirahawa Shizu's hand. The only difference between the two is that they are labeled with the names of the eldest prince and Duke Kilard respectively. .

Her words completely confused Princess Mila.

The shotgun in her hand was obviously marked with the name of Duke Kilard, but why did Chris say...

"At that time... huh?"

Shirakawa Jing was about to explain when she suddenly noticed Fujiko Mine who was walking towards the outside of the palace with a happy face in the corridor next to her.

"Goodbye~Lupin~"

Vaguely hearing what Fujiko Mine said, Bai Hejing frowned slightly, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly caught up.

[That woman, could they be...] "Your Highness, please wait a moment..."

"Huh? Chrissy? What's wrong?"

"I'm going to catch a thief."

"..."

At the same time, in the underground secret room of the palace, Lupine III, who had sneaked in at some point, was quietly walking along the metal corridor and approaching the room at the end.

Yes, this is where the Queen's Crown, the secret treasure of the Kingdom of Besbania, is located.

And he, Lupine the Third, the world's legendary thief, is now coming to take away the crown!
Although we are now in a cooperative relationship, but! This does not prevent me, Lupine III, from coming to steal your things!

"Ah la la?"

However, as soon as he approached this room, Lupine III discovered a strange place.

"Why? Will the door to the room be open? Well, never mind, the legendary thief is about to come in~"

With a smile, Lupine III took out a bottle of spray from his body without thinking much, and rushed into the room with a whoosh.

"Haha! Take the move! Sleeping spray! I'm just kidding, but it's actually just... huh?"

After entering, Lupine III was surprised again.

The soldier guarding the control room was already lying on the table, snoring and unconscious?

"Ah? Why did you fall asleep?"

Even the treasure house door on the side is open...

"Why is the door open?"

Only the Queen's Crown, which was originally stored inside, is no longer there...

"Why is the treasure gone?!"

Lupine the Third has the face of an old man on the subway.

"What? Then wouldn't the secret weapon I worked so hard to create become meaningless?!"

He angrily took out the metal ball from his trouser pocket that he had specially created with the mysterious ore in order to steal the Queen's Crown last night. It could block all electronic signals when activated.

"Ah?!"

But for some reason, the metal ball that should have been in his trouser pocket now turned into an ordinary baseball.

At this moment, Lupine III seemed to finally understand something, his eyes widened.

"I'm sorry ~ Lupine ~"

Suddenly, as if to confirm his guess, a very familiar voice sounded from the window sill of the control room nearby.

"I'm sorry ~ Lupine ~"

It was a Fujiko Mine doll in a duck-sitting position, and it was shaking and making electronic sounds of apology at him.

"I'm sorry ~ Lupine ~"

"Could it be said that...could it be said that..."

Looking at this little doll, Lupine III had an unbelievable expression.

"I'm sorry ~ Lupine ~ I'm sorry ~ Lupine ~"

The villain's apologetic voice became faster and faster, and finally it was accompanied by a rapid beeping sound, and then exploded with a bang, followed by a strong burst of air, which directly blew Lupine III into the secret room that no longer had the crown. inside.

"Wow~"

"Drip! Drip!"

The next moment, the infrared device reacted immediately, and countless metal fence doors instantly turned Lupine III into a turtle in a urn.

"Ahaha... I've completely fallen into a trap..."

Lupine III got up from the ground in disgrace, with a wry smile on his face.

How could he not understand that he was being plotted by Fujiko Mine again? That woman must have taken away his metal ball last night, and then came here before him to take away the Queen's Crown.

But it doesn't matter. As a legendary thief, Lupine III also has his own partners. At this time, all he has to do is call his partners for support.

"Ah, no, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon are not here right now..."

But as soon as he picked up the phone, Lupine the Third had a grimace on his face.

"What! Don't we even have a partner who can help?! Ah, no, there seems to be a new partner..."

As if he suddenly thought of someone, Lupine III quickly dialed the number.

"Hello? Well, Kris-chan, it's me~"
