The red moon returns

Chapter 380 The long aftertaste
Her Royal Highness the Princess calmly comforted the guests who were shocked by the corpse falling to the ground, and confidently announced that the people of Land would not be defeated by such a small matter. After the ball continued, she turned around and left with a dignified look in the company of the old duke and the young knight. She behaved calmly and was not affected at all by the fact that she had just walked around the brink of death.

It was just that her steps were a little light under her skirt, and the weight of her arm pressing on the Duke's arm was a little heavy, but it was no big deal.

It was just a small episode, the song and dance continued.

The party did not end, but instead reached its climax.

The newly promoted knight, the broken ceiling, the foresight of the Valente family, the feelings between the noble lady and the down-and-out commoner, the attack on Her Royal Highness the Princess in public, and... the newly promoted knight suddenly appeared like a miracle, bringing with him endless moonlight, triggering a divine celestial phenomenon.

Especially the last bow, which made him look like a hero in a legendary story who saved the kingdom and the princess, and then floated away after everything was settled, leaving only his back for the bards to sing about.

This was definitely an unforgettable night. Everything was so impactful that people talked about it with great relish, especially the final scene of the sun and the moon shining together. The guests believed that they would remember it for the rest of their lives.

From nobles to commoners, from guests to waiters, everyone was talking about what had just happened, about Sir Lynch Leviev, and they didn't even dance, and they talked like this until late at night.

The reporters were running around excitedly like they were at a carnival, and together with the guests, everyone was frantically looking for the protagonists of the night, but to no avail.

In fact, Lynch and Natalie were in the Duke's castle, receiving the highest level of reception, and Miss Valente was also invited in to keep them company.

The so-called highest-level reception means that the surrounding rooms are surrounded by four high-level, more than ten mid-level, more than thirty junior-level and more than three hundred special security personnel. Sitting around are a group of big names, known and unknown, who are capable of influencing the general situation of Rhine, Rand and even the entire world.

The security personnel did not follow in, only two high-level strong men and several security leaders came in together. The two high-level old men patted Lynch's arm vigorously and shook Natalie's hand, their expressions full of solemnity and gratitude.

"You have preserved our reputation for seventy or eighty years and prevented us from being embarrassed in public. We won't say anything more. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to us."

"Well, can we have seven or eight more rings like this?"

"Please get out."

Such a friendly and grateful response is, of course, something to be celebrated.

The attitudes of those powerful people in the room were very strange. They were just like elementary school students, listening obediently to Lynch and the police officer's speeches, and were as focused as subordinates listening to their leaders' speeches at the government meetings in their previous lives.

They were just facing a knight, an ordinary policeman, and a countess who had no chance of inheriting the title, but their attitudes were impeccable, just like they would treat a foreign head of state.

This is normal. After all, those who can reach this position are not fools, at least not all of them. The big shots know very well that in any world, savior is the greatest merit, not to mention that the one being saved is a princess.

After being rescued, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not express anything to Lynch the entire time, not even a word of thank you, as if she was full of justified arrogance. But it was precisely because of this that these bigwigs became more serious.

Even someone as slow-witted as Lynch realized that something was wrong after Her Royal Highness the Princess came down from the balcony, let alone these people who were more shrewd. When they found that Her Royal Highness the Princess even showed deliberate kindness to both Natalie and Diana, they were even more certain of the current situation.

Besides, they saw the old duke. After the scene on the balcony, the old fox was really not affected at all, and even the pipe in his mouth tasted better. The only change was that he became more friendly to Lynch, even more enthusiastic than his grandson. Before starting to talk about business, he didn't even mention business, but patted Lynch's arm like a good grandfather, which made Lynch's hair stand on end, and he wanted to kick this old guy away.

The big shots knew His Excellency the Duke better. The old man did not behave like this towards his own grandson. Therefore, they believed that as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Duke did not fall, these three would definitely become big shots in the kingdom in the future, much higher than them.

Lynch and Natalie did not hide anything and described in detail everything that had just happened. In fact, they discovered each other's conspiracy by accident. If it were not for good luck, they would not have discovered the problem earlier than others.

This was obviously Lynch's statement, with the humility and low-keyness unique to his previous life, but no one present took it seriously, not even the two senior elders.

Perhaps there was a certain element of chance in going to the menagerie in the back, but when he found something was not right he went to investigate, after entering the other world he quickly understood the situation, he realized the other party's purpose at the first moment, he rushed into the castle and had a head-on conflict with three ground players, and finally he successfully rescued the princess. None of these things can be explained by luck.

However, through the descriptions of the two people, a preliminary judgment has been made, which is the conclusion reached jointly by high-level experts and security personnel.

According to Chairman Ole, this was the effect of a destructive-level artifact. The conditions for use were very harsh and it took a long time to set up. The other party used the cover of the beast to complete it. After the remote activation, an overlapping space was created around the castle. The three assassins used this space to sneak into the castle. But even the effect of a destructive-level artifact could not guarantee safety when facing a high-level one, so the assassin did not dare to pass by the two old men, but chose to fall from the sky.

As for the identities of the three direct assassins, they also found out that one was a Soul-Separated Soul of the Falling God Mist Lord, one was a Soul-Separated Soul of the Apostate Sky Lord, and the other was an apostate of the Church of the Sun. The Archbishop of the Church of the Sun had been invited in overnight to confirm the other party's identity.

Although the purpose of the assassination and the mastermind behind it cannot be confirmed for the time being and further investigation is needed, everyone has more or less some guesses in their minds.

Unfortunately, using the power of the scorching sun to kill the princess in public did not ease the conflict between the royal power and the secular parliament. As long as the princess was killed in public, under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, not only would the parliament still be involved, but even the divine power would join in, making the conflict even more complicated and intense.

Lin Qi could only sigh. There is nothing wrong with having lofty ideals, but the intelligence must keep up first. Otherwise, if you are taken advantage of and indulge yourself, you will only be laughed at. Fortunately, the princess was rescued in the end, and there is still room for easing the conflict. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

But no matter what, Her Royal Highness the Princess's mission on this visit was successfully completed. There was no need for her to show up too much at today's ball, and there wouldn't be any major problems with security, which meant that tonight's ball had a perfect ending.

At least I managed to save her tonight.

At the end of the meeting, Lynch couldn't help but smile with relief.

However, the next moment, the princess, who had hardly spoken to him since the accident, came over and asked a strange question in front of Natalie and Diana.

"Sir Lynch Leviev, you should know what happens after the fearless hero in the story saves the princess?"

"what?"

Lynch was confused by the question and stared blankly at the three gazes meeting in the air, producing sparks more intense than the sun and the moon shining together.

who I am? where am I? what happened?
