The red moon returns

Chapter 383 Lin Qi's persistence

"No matter how many times I see this thing, it's still so beautiful..."

Miss Diana has made no secret of her love for the flaming red lips.

After Lynch was conferred the title last night, Miss Diana did not express anything special except congratulating him, but the sensitive Lynch could still sense that the Countess had a subtle change in her attitude.

Simply put, it means that people have less concealment of their emotions and feelings. This concealment is not for the sake of vigilance, but rather that they no longer go to great lengths to maintain their own image, as they do with the people closest to them.

It was a very subtle change, even difficult to describe accurately, but Lynch quickly noticed her change.

Before she was knighted, this girl would not have acted so infatuated with the gem no matter how much she liked it, but now she was completely unconcealed and more genuine than before.

Lynch had not studied psychology and did not know the reason for this change, but his intuition told him that this was not a bad thing.

Anyway, he didn't hate Diana like this. Instead, he liked her authenticity more. Especially when he saw her focused and intoxicated eyes, Lynch couldn't help but chuckle.

Women, no matter how rich they are, cannot resist the temptation of jewellery. No, it should be said that the richer and more knowledgeable they are, the more they will be addicted to it. It is simply an instinct engraved deep in their souls.

The gem was indeed beautiful, crystal clear, emitting a soft crimson light all over, eye-catching but not glaring, and warm to the touch but not hot.

If you hold this in your hand in winter, you should be able to save a lot of heating bills.

"You always talk nonsense. With this thing in hand, do you still need to worry about the heating bill?"

The countess glared at Lynch in reproach. Fortunately, this was not her first time seeing this, so she quickly regained consciousness and just gently stroked the smooth surface of the gem, frowning and thinking:

"You just said it's mine, mine, mine, ours?"

"Yes." Lynch suddenly looked at the Earl in confusion, "Are you okay? Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Are you sick?"

"It's! Reflection! Light." Miss Diana gritted her teeth like an angry quail, "It's the reflection of gemstones! Don't pay attention to such trivial matters!"

"Being sick is not a small matter. You were bitten a few days ago. I... okay, okay, I don't care." Lin Qi sighed, thinking that this girl was really strange. "Princess Chloe gave it to me as a reward, and she ran away after leaving it behind. I couldn't stop her. I suspect I lost out. But anyway, it belongs to us now."

Miss Diana bit her lip lightly, and even her voice seemed to be much lighter: "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm asking you this, right? I don't understand. Are you any use to me?"

"You're going to give it to me?"

"It's not a gift. We solved Her Highness Chloe's problem together. It originally belonged to you."

Lin Qi thought to himself that he was not wrong. Why did the girl suddenly glare at him fiercely and grind her teeth, which was not good for her teeth?

Fortunately, Miss Diana did not continue to be angry with him. She turned her attention back to the gemstone, thought for a moment and said:
"Selling this thing is the worst option. I estimate that it can be sold for a maximum of 6,000 to 8,000 pounds. It feels like it's actually worth more, but... no one will pay a high price for it unless there are special circumstances. For example, His Royal Highness William's original reward of 50 kilograms of gold. But this special situation is unforeseeable."

Lynch listened carefully and nodded frequently.

"I don't recommend you sell it, because its symbolic value is far greater than its actual value. I think you might as well give it to His Majesty Rudolf. He can give you much more than you can get from selling it." Lynch asked thoughtfully, "What special meaning does this thing have for him?"

"Because of Her Highness Chloe, almost the whole world knows that this thing is related to the Salt Royal Family. Once he gets the thing, no one can tell whether it was given to him by you or offered to him by the Salt Royal Family. Although the Salt Royal Family is on good terms with the Rand Royal Family, they have also been wrestling with each other in secret. With this gem, His Majesty Rudolf can completely surpass the Salt Royal Family in terms of reputation. This is reputation, which is much more important to him than profit. He will definitely pay a high price, and it may even help you get promoted to a formal title in the future."

Lynch shook his head: "I don't want to do that."

"Why, do you have any concerns?"

"The Flaming Lips were passed to me by Princess Chloe. If Rudolf uses it to suppress the Kingdom of Salt, I will feel like I have betrayed Princess Chloe. If I did that, she would probably be embarrassed. Although the princess is stupid, she is not bad. I don't want to betray her."

Miss Diana was stunned for a moment, holding her chin and staring at him intently for a while, then she gradually revealed a smile and said softly, "Actually, you think too much. Since that prince dared to give you the gem, he doesn't care how you use it. But... it's good that you think so. I think you are right. In this case, I have another suggestion."

"Ok?"

"Why not ask another princess?"

"Huh?" Lynch stared at the girl with his mouth open. He couldn't figure out whether the girl had suddenly become abnormal or he had suddenly become abnormal.

"Pfft, that's how nobles are. When it comes to interests, all personal emotions can be compromised." Miss Diana covered her mouth and chuckled, "Do you remember what the public reason was when Prince William asked Her Royal Highness Chloe for the gem?"

"He will use it to embed it in the crown during the crown prince's investiture ceremony." Lynch suddenly realized, "So maybe she can use it to attack Prince William?"

"Yes, that's possible."

"It seems that I have to go to the Duke's Mansion before we go in, and ask Her Royal Highness the Princess about this matter before she returns to Norin."

Hmm? Miss Diana's smile faded and her eyes became sharp.

But before she could say anything, Officer Natalie's voice came from outside the door.

"Then you don't have to worry. You can go back in time after you come back. Viscount Moliere just informed the watcher that the princess's trip has been postponed. She will not leave the Rhine for the time being and will return in mid-July."

"Huh? Why?"

When Lynch turned around, he saw Officer Natalie and Judy walking in accompanied by Ms. Nightingale.

"How should I know? They didn't inform me. Go ask your princess later."

As she spoke to Lynch, the policewoman's eyes were focused on the flaming red lips, and even her breathing slowed down. Miss Diana smiled and handed it over directly. The policewoman turned her head away and didn't even look at it again until the Countess snickered and put the gem in her hand. She reluctantly lowered her head to admire it.

"Lynch." Seeing that the three women had no intention of quarreling on the spot, Ms. Nightingale sighed regretfully, sat down opposite Lynch's desk, put away her smile and said seriously, "Since you have been worried, I will explain to you in detail how the plague is formed in the world of mysticism. You can also reflect on whether your behavior may have caused the plague. If so, we need to make plans early."

Lynch took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
