The red moon returns

Chapter 370 The King's Will

Among the crowd, waves of doubtful voices were heard.

The second dance had just ended. It was not yet time for the organizer of the dance to leave, let alone for the host and guest to come out.

After the host and guest finish the first dance, they will rest for at least three songs before coming out again.

It’s not that they are afraid of not having enough physical strength, but to give guests enough time to socialize or communicate with their favorite targets. The above two appearances will often attract the attention of most people and affect the guests’ social interaction.

Therefore, it has become a convention that the host and the guests usually return to the venue during the fifth song.

However, just as the second piece of music ended, the Duke and Princess appeared at the same time, accompanied by the royal secretary.

Although most people are still confused, some experienced old politicians have already smelled something unusual.

Something is going to happen.

The reporters were also confused, but their professional sensitivity made them immediately make some space around Lynch and Miss Valente, leaving it for a group of people who were obviously coming this way.

Their retreat allowed Lynch and Miss Valente to face the group of nobles who were gloating over their misfortune.

They are basically a group of small nobles, and most of them are young people.

In fact, Lynch understands them very well. Twenty years old is the age when hormones are most active. Miss Valente is the daughter of a wealthy family and lives alone and helpless in the Rhine. It is the best time to take action. These people will not miss this opportunity, whether for themselves or for their families.

It seems that I have been too close to Diana in the past few months, which has angered the public and attracted so much gloating.

However, I have no obligation to think for you.

Lynch really wanted to lie down on the beach and say, I just like to see you guys jealous of me to the point of going crazy.

Lynch smiled with his eyes narrowed, pulled Miss Diana, and the two of them went towards the princess and the duke.

When passing by the group of people who were still gloating, Lynch deliberately stopped, turned around and gave them a bright smile.

"Hi, Tom, nice to see you again."

"Who is Tom, the uneducated fellow?"

Lynch chuckled, thinking that what Miss Diana had taught him was correct. For nobles, it was okay to not call someone by their name if they couldn't remember it, but they must never call the wrong name, otherwise it would be an insult to their face.

"Oh, sorry, I'm not good at remembering irrelevant names, so I might have remembered it wrong. Are you Jerry? Never mind, it doesn't matter what you're called. No one will care anyway." Lynch bowed slightly and said sincerely, "I just want to say thank you. Thank you for finding so many reporters to help Diana and I record such a beautiful moment. Every time we see the photos in the future, we will miss you. I hope that after you lose your position as the third secretary of the Governor's Office in the future, you can still smile so happily. And you too, Mickey, I wish you good luck."

Finally, he grinned, left the two confused young nobles behind, and pulled Miss Diana to the front of several important figures.

The dignitaries and wealthy people attending the meeting had already gathered around, and even the ladies and young ladies gathered nearby with curiosity, wanting to see what made the big shots act unconventionally.

"Diana, I'm sorry to bother you." Her Royal Highness knelt gracefully with an impeccable smile. "It turns out that you have made such an excellent friend in the past few months without telling your friends in the capital. I am a little envious of you."

Diana looked at Lynch thoughtfully, and raised her voice without disguising, "Mr. Lynch Leviev is the person I trust the most and my best friend. I am proud to know him. It is the most precious memory of my life."

As she said this, Miss Diana turned around and smiled at the reporters and the nobles who were gloating over her misfortune: "These are my original words. You can write them down as they are. I don't mind."

Her Royal Highness the Princess said meaningfully: "The thousand-year reputation of the Valente family..."

"So what? If you go against your conscience for a thousand years of reputation, that would be a shame for the nobility. No, it would be a shame for both the nobility and the commoners."

Miss Diana smiled, raised her head and said confidently:
"This is not only my idea, but also my father's idea. My father has long determined that Mr. Lynch Leviev is the eternal friend of the Valente family, and has also promised that I can make my own decisions on anything related to Mr. Lynch. Regardless of whether that decision will be considered by ignorant people to affect the reputation of the Valente family, we believe that it will not have any impact. My family and I are willing to bear any consequences for this. This is the Valente family's official response to the recent rumors about me and Mr. Lynch."

The whole audience was in an uproar. If Lynch's detour just now was to maintain mystery, then Miss Diana's answer was undoubtedly a tit-for-tat head-on confrontation. Not only her, but the honor and disgrace of the entire family were tied to the chariot.

Is this woman crazy? Even if she is crazy, are her whole family crazy?

Just let her do this for a civilian?
For a moment, even those who were friendly to Lynch and Miss Valente were quite surprised.

Her Royal Highness looked at the two of them, sighed for unknown reasons, then returned to her dignified smile and nodded, "Then Diana, can I borrow your friend for a while?"

Miss Diana was stunned, tilted her head to look at Lynch, and smiled: "Is it okay?"

"That's your friend. Why are you asking me?" Lin Qi shrugged. "I don't know him."

"Hee." Miss Diana covered her mouth and chuckled, and said to Princess Sofia, "He agreed, so use it. But remember to return it after use. I don't have any extra ones, this is the only one."

God damn remember to return it, there’s no more.

Lynch rolled his eyes and was led towards the castle stairs by Her Royal Highness the Princess and the old Duke on his left and right.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I've caused you all trouble because of my willfulness."

"Hahaha, it's just a few days in advance, not a big deal." The old duke stroked his beard and chuckled, "Besides, this is really fun. I'm looking forward to seeing their expressions. It's time for someone to teach those idiots a lesson. It seems that there's still something wrong with my use of people. But to be honest, it would be more effective to announce it a few days later as originally planned and let them skip a few days. It's a bit urgent now."

"I know that, but I can't bear to let her suffer for a few days because of such a terrible thing." Lin Qi scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I can't help it. I don't like to keep it to myself. I like to fight back in person. I can only cause trouble for you."

Her Royal Highness the Princess turned around, sighed with a complicated look in her eyes, "You've done so much for me, do you still need to be polite for such a small thing? But... forget it, I won't be so easy to talk to next time."

Hmm? What does this girl mean?
Lynch was a little confused, so he gave up and decided not to think about it anymore.

The group walked up the stairs and Lynch was once again under the gaze of thousands of people. For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

Especially when she looked down and saw Miss Diana, Officer Natalie, and Mrs. Maggie with little Martha, her mood became even more complicated.

But in the end, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, put on a decent smile, and waited quietly.

"I am ruining everyone's fun right now because His Majesty the King has an order that I need to announce to everyone. I think now is the right time, so I can only apologize for interrupting you. I hope you don't mind."

Her Royal Highness made a gesture of invitation to the clerk:
"Mr. Vicomte Molière, please read out the king's will to everyone."

"As you command, Princess."

Moliere stepped forward and cleared his throat. The meeting room immediately fell silent. Everyone was curious, wondering if something big had happened that made the ceremony so grand.

Viscount Moliere slowly opened the sealing wax on the envelope, unfolded the letter, showed a look of surprise on his face, glanced at Lynch, and then read it aloud.

"Your Majesty has ordered that, in view of the fact that Mr. Lynch Leviev, a private detective, has devoted himself to the country and made outstanding contributions, in order to express gratitude on behalf of all citizens and to commend his dedication to the country and the people, upon the recommendation of Duke Locke von Weyen and after research by the House of Lords, Mr. Lynch Leviev, a private detective in Rhine City, is now canonized as a kingdom knight. The decree will take effect immediately after it is read. Princess Sophia will perform the temporary canonization ceremony on my behalf, and I will personally preside over the formal canonization ceremony when I go to Beijing in the future. The Supreme King of the Kingdom of Land, Rudolf Ross, June 1399, 6."

boom!
The entire venue was in an uproar and the atmosphere exploded instantly.

Lynch took a step forward and stood next to the princess. Countless spotlights focused on him, freezing in that glorious moment.

Stunned, astonished, angry, confused, happy, anxious, Lynch saw all kinds of life from the faces, and the two instigators had dull eyes, flushed faces, and open mouths, but could not utter a word.

Lynch smiled at them, took off his hat and put it on his chest, then bowed deeply.

Thank you for bringing so many reporters here, you are really nice people, Tom and Mickey.
