The red moon returns

Chapter 467: The Princess' Invitation

Lynch is full of big men.

He was being pressed down by several men, enduring the sour smell, and had to hold up his arms to provide a place for the woman below him.

Lynch was having a hard time holding on, but the woman below was still smiling.

At first he showed a rare look of panic, but after being knocked down by Lynch and seeing his identity, this guy actually curled up the corners of his mouth.

"Why don't you take a look at the situation before you laugh? And you were almost shot in the head just now."

"My knights fight for me before me, and I have no fear."

Her Highness Sophia bit her lips gently, and while the two of them were pressed almost face to face, she suddenly raised her head...

"Sir Leviev is here to protect the princess. The situation is under control and the assassin has been killed. Everyone, get up and take Her Highness away."

The voice of Baron Bolvar was heard from the crowd, and then the people who were protecting them retreated layer by layer. Finally, someone helped up Lynch, who was covering his lips with a strange expression, and the princess, who was smiling dignifiedly and without confusion.

As soon as the two stood up, they were held down by a group of guards, and forced to trot into the nearest barracks. The place had been checked inside and out several times to make sure there were no suspicious people. Only after the princess was escorted here did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Lynch also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the only way he could think of to break the deadlock.

Although once the assassination begins, it will be difficult for the Valente family, the mountain people and himself to deny their involvement regardless of whether the other party can succeed or not, but if the princess was attacked before she set foot on the Valente family's fiefdom, and these people made great efforts to protect the princess, then even if something really happened to the princess, it would be difficult to put the blame on the Valente family and the mountain people.

Therefore, Lynch didn't even bother to say hello and rushed forward immediately. The tacit understanding that had already been developed made the two ladies immediately let Nicklain follow, and Lynch followed closely behind. Finally, they caught up in time and completed this exciting reunion.

After a brief exchange with Her Royal Highness the Princess and Baron Bolvar, I finally figured out the situation.

Before the princess came to visit, some guards had arrived in advance, but Lin Qi and the other two had already entered the mountains and did not meet them.

The guards did not neglect their duties and checked the entire engineering camp several times, but the attackers had obviously mastered the power of forest and hunting, and had the professional ability to hide themselves, so no matter how hard the guards checked, they could not find the attackers. On the contrary, Lin Qi and the other two had discovered the attackers' traces in advance because of their sight.

But this is not a solution. Lynch felt quite conflicted. He had just taught the other party a lesson, and within a few days, there was another assassination attempt. Was the other party determined not to give up?

"No, sir, you misunderstand."

In the barracks, Her Royal Highness had dismissed most of the guards, leaving only the spy, Prince Bolvar. Lynch was there, and even the old mountain people were there. Just now, this old ghoul showed his high-level power for the first time, which frightened the princess's guards. From then on, they treated him with great respect, fearing that he would get blood on his hands and make clay figures for fun. The princess didn't mind his presence, and explained calmly:
"It shouldn't be someone from the parliament who did it this time."

"Hmm?" "We have been staying in the Rhine recently for the purpose of negotiating with the parliamentary faction." Princess Sofia explained in detail, "Thanks to you, they failed to kill me at the ball and fell into an absolute passive position. They have already begun to purge the radicals internally to prevent the influence from expanding. If we follow my father's wishes and take the opportunity to severely suppress the opponents, it is indeed possible that they will not be able to recover for many years, but this is actually not a good idea."

"why?"

"On the one hand, the harder you suppress, the stronger the backlash will be in the future. On the other hand, suppression may have the opposite effect. Our sworn enemy Friedman is an example. The conflict between their king and parliament is more intense than that of our Rand. In their capital, Peris, several large-scale conflicts have broken out in the past ten years, and the whole country is even more turbulent. If we continue like this, we may follow their old path."

Lynch nodded thoughtfully, vaguely understanding Sophia's thoughts.

"Instead of doing this, we should take advantage of this passive situation of the parliamentary faction to ease the conflict between the royal family and them. Maybe we can find a compromise and prevent Rand from falling into the same turmoil as Friedman."

Sophia smiled and said confidently:

"So I've been in contact with the parliamentary group these days. Although I can't go against my father's wishes, at least within the scope of my decision, I can show my sincerity and let them see my attitude in the future. If they turn their target to me, my dear brother will not be so important to them, and my father will not have to worry about the parliamentary group's reaction again if he wants to discipline my brother."

Hiss, killing two birds with one stone, removing the firewood from under the cauldron, do these people who play politics like to kill quietly? Lin Qi muttered in his heart, and felt that Princess Sofia's beautiful face looked chilly.

"The progress is encouraging. So, in this case, even the radicals in the parliament should not attack me. It will not do them any good. I am more inclined to believe that the culprit this time came from the capital."

"Hmm? Could it be His Majesty Rudolf? He doesn't think you..."

Although Lin Qi didn't finish his words, the expression on his face betrayed him. Sophia shook her head calmly and said:

"No, I haven't touched his bottom line yet. If it was father, he would never send out only one mid-level assassin. There are many powerful people hidden in his secret army. If he sent all of them, it would be difficult for us to escape. In addition, if father wanted to take action against me, he would not involve you all, which would be equivalent to an open conflict with Duke Wayne."

What he had guessed based on his past life's knowledge and coincidences was casually said by a young girl. Lin Qi was a little embarrassed. He exchanged glances with the two ladies, coughed a few times and said:
"That must be Prince William. His greatest support is about to be dealt with by you, so you have to take the initiative. He also hates me for breaking the mirror and ruining his conspiracy, and hates the Valente family for hindering his plan, so he took this opportunity to take action and trap us as well."

"Even if he failed to kill me in the end, he could have planted hidden dangers between me and the parliamentary faction. It should be him, my disobedient brother."

Princess Sophia stood up suddenly and whispered:

"My mission on this trip has been basically completed. I am ready to return to Norlin to settle this account with him. I will leave around the 20th and return before his coronation ceremony on the 28th. Sir Lynch Leviev, I have something I need to seriously seek your advice on."

"Ok?"

"The next few days after I return will be the most critical ones. They may determine the fate of many people, or even the entire Rand. I hope my knight can stand by my side during these days and help me cut through the thorns on the road ahead. You don't need to answer me now, my knight, but I hope you can give me a clear answer before the day I leave. I look forward to it deeply."
