The red moon returns

Chapter 372: Come and See the Tiger
The princess and the duke have left the stage. They return to the castle to wait for the fifth dance and return the social stage to the guests.

The problem is, after such a commotion, no one is in the mood to socialize, and everyone is only discussing one topic.

Lynch Leviv.

His presence stole the limelight of the entire ball, even overshadowing the impact of the huge sum of 20,000 pounds brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It was in the limelight for a while.

The nobles discussed how the Valente family sensed something was wrong and when they started planning. They even used the eldest daughter of the family as bait to lure the only newcomer in the aristocratic circle into their camp. Their methods were amazing, their courage was great, their vision was unique, and they were a role model for our generation.

The rich people were wondering what Mr. Lynch Leviev had done to make the stubborn... no, the steady king and the old men in the House of Lords give in. The upward space was loosening, which was a signal that there was hope for the future, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.

The men described Lynch's story from birth to last night's dinner. Each man's description was vivid and he understood it better than the time traveler himself.

Women... Ah, he is so handsome. Ah, he is such a man. Ah, his dance with the princess is so beautiful. Ah, why did he dance with that noble woman? I dance better than her. Ah, I want to dance with him next time... Hey, where is he?

So the beautiful and lovely ladies were suddenly surprised to find that the newly-minted ball star was missing.

Every social banquet will have the most popular stars. They will be sought after by everyone, enjoying the admiring eyes of men and the gentle gazes of ladies. After the banquet, there will be those insignificant subtleties unfolding.

This is a highlight moment that every man enjoys immensely, but today's protagonist suddenly disappeared, and even Miss Valente couldn't find him.

Someone familiar with the matter asked privately, but the Countess just smiled and said nothing. Her expression was dignified and her words were appropriate, but her eyes seemed to say:
Just assume he is dead. It was a tragic death and you can't even put his body together.

The guests were completely confused and could only guess that he had been taken away by the princess and the duke for a secret talk. There was nothing they could do about it and everyone had to reluctantly restart the ball.

Then music and dancing followed.

But not everyone is chasing the news about Lynch Leviev.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, there was someone wandering outside the crowd, kicking the gravel on the ground out of boredom.

A black long skirt, a tall figure, flaxen wavy hair, and a sword that she never lets go of.

Officer Natalie moved very lightly and gently, and with a bang, the gravel hit a tree.

"Ouch~~"

The lions, tigers and bears in the cages were trembling with fear and trying desperately to squeeze out of the cages. The herbivores huddled together and whimpered. This night was too unfriendly for them.

"You stupid animals, you must be male. You should be locked in cages to prevent you from running out and hurting people. What are you looking at? Do you have any objection?"

"Ouch..." He continued to shiver.

"You are smart enough to have the guts to object. Today is your last day as a male beast."

Officer Natalie waved her fist at the terrified and desperate beasts and finally let the innocent animals go. She turned around and walked away under their tearful gaze, her high heels stomping on the ground as if there was a person lying on the ground.

She was actually on patrol.

After watching Lynch's highlight moment, as soon as the coronation ceremony was over and she heard the screams of the ladies around her, she began to inspect the venue, especially the large grassland and the wild animals in the backyard.

This is the object that the watcher pays special attention to. If one of them accidentally runs to the front, it will be too noisy.

"Hmph, a bunch of guys who have never seen a man, just know how to scream and yell." Officer Natalie kicked another small stone away, so gently that it almost created a sonic boom. "And that kind of man, that kind of man, what's so special about him, weak, poor, and ungraceful, and he keeps his eyes on the landlady and the princess every day, and even doesn't let the cultists go, hmph, and that woman, do you need to be so excited? There's no use getting excited, bastard Lynch, bastard detective, sooner or later I'll catch you and lock you up, lest you come out and hurt...someone." The policewoman's eyes suddenly became stern, and her body was like lightning, rushing into the dark bushes, she swung up a black shadow from it, and smashed it directly to the ground, with her knees against the man's back, twisting her arms and pressing her head, holding him down.

"Police officer, I am arresting you for trespassing into the Duke's mansion with the intent to assassinate. You'd better resist on the spot. If you don't resist, then confess your crime honestly."

"It hurts, it hurts, my hand, my hand is broken." The shadow was a young man, shouting aggrievedly, "I'm not trespassing, I'm a guest, and I left the invitation in front of me. I just heard that there is a tiger in the backyard, a very ferocious tiger, the kind that eats people, so I came to take a look."

"Huh? Didn't you watch it this afternoon? And you want to watch a tiger eat people? Who? Do you want to feed yourself to the tiger?"

"No, no, I'm looking at a tiger that can eat people, not a tiger that eats people. Don't scare me."

"Who is scaring who? It's inexplicable."

Seeing that the man looked like a rookie and his explanation was quite reasonable, the female police officer felt it was not appropriate to continue the attack. She reluctantly picked him up and looked at him in the light from a distance.

Strange guy.

A chubby young man with a round face, round eyes, and short hair sticking softly to his head. He looks kind and cute, and seems harmless.

He was wearing a strange set of clothes, which looked a bit like ordinary casual clothes, but the shape and texture were something he had never seen before. He was also wearing a pair of weird-looking rubber-soled shoes on his feet, which made him look hot and uncomfortable.

He was actually holding a bottle of red wine and a paper bag in his hands. The bags were bulging and no one knew what was in them. He was reluctant to let go even when his arm was twisted.

Seeing the stupid smile on the other person's face, the policewoman suddenly became angry and wanted to kick him, but she still adhered to her professional ethics and stared at the fat man fiercely: "Speak clearly, you are holding these things and want to... No, you are not a guest, I have never seen you among the guests."

As soon as she started to speak, she had already drawn her sword and put it against the man's neck: "Tell me, what is your purpose? Why did you sneak out at this time? Do you want to release the beast to disrupt the canonization ceremony? Tell me quickly."

The other party was stunned for a moment, but immediately shouted in grievance: "I was really invited. There are so many guests, and you can't possibly remember what everyone looks like. What do you want me to say?"

"Humph, but I can remember the appearance of every guest. Don't try to quibble. I..."

Officer Natalie was about to continue her attack when she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the other party's reaction just now. She squinted her eyes and thought about it, then suddenly moved closer quickly and pulled open the other party's collar.

A strange necklace was hanging around the other person's neck.

She glared at him sideways until sweat broke out on his forehead, then the policewoman raised her eyebrows and said, "Guest?"

Nod vigorously.

"Look at a fierce tiger?"

His eyes were wandering, looking left and right.

The policewoman suddenly smiled brightly: "Do you want to see a tiger eat a person?"

He shook his head vigorously, and more sweat appeared on his forehead.

"But I want to." The smile suddenly turned ferocious, and Officer Natalie rushed over viciously, "Lynch Leviev, I sentence you to death one hundred times for the crime of teasing police officers, and execute you immediately."

"Ahhh, I'm not Lynch, I'm just passing by, help, the Overwatch officer is committing a crime."

Amid the miserable cries, the beasts in the cages became more terrified and huddled together.
