Dia decided to wait until she found an opportunity to explain the whole story to Qiduo from the beginning.
Before this, one can only be thankful that Qiduo didn't have such a strong curiosity.
Even though Sherlock and he both believed that the military vehicles were carrying Nasby's treasury, the lack of evidence was still not enough to be safe.
After thinking about it, Dia felt that the two sisters should also be put to use.
He planned to bring Mumu Ze to the palace ahead of schedule to present the [New Line Virus] vaccine to Naspi.
At the same time, he, Kadjo, and Fugates used the power of the [Secret Garden] to infiltrate the original treasury beneath the King's Palace for a final investigation.
"Oh right, I almost forgot, I also need to inform the Eighth Prince's wife."
Dia took out her phone and called Kangzai, explaining that the [Egg in the Pot] might be destroyed in the future, and that in extreme cases, he might encounter a firefight with the King's army in New Delhi.
In such a chaotic situation, it would have been better to have Kang Jae arrange for the Eighth Princess and the Fourteenth Prince to hide until the end of the succession war.
After hearing Diya's explanation, Kang Jae, who had already made this plan, instantly perked up:
"I told you so, I told you so, there's a tense atmosphere everywhere in New Delhi right now. Even a fool would know something bad is going to happen, but the Eighth Princess is still debating whether or not to hide..."
After rambling on and on, Kang Jae agreed to hide the Eighth Princess in a safe place until the succession war ended.
Diya put down her phone, still wondering if she had missed anything.
Dudu lulu lulu...
Suddenly, a rapid ringtone sounded. Diya picked up her phone and saw that it was from an unfamiliar number.
Dia frowned
His number should be known by very few people, and even fewer in New Delhi, so he decisively answered the phone:
"Hey?"
"It's me, Lady Dia, it's Ruby!"
Ruby's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Dia nodded to himself, just as he had guessed.
He had only given Ruby his phone number before, so that Ruby could contact him to pick up his medicine after filming, but what has happened now?
"Lady Dia, I've come to deliver a secret message to you. Boss Melena has joined forces with some members of the Phantom Troupe and is preparing to target Kakin's national treasury!"
Ruby's voice was filled with unease:
“I overheard them mention your name in their conversation, and fearing they might be plotting against you, I took the opportunity to tip you off.”
Upon hearing this, Dia's eyes narrowed instantly!
How did Morena end up with Kuroro? They should be completely unrelated.
In response to his question, Ruby replied with trepidation:
"It's all my fault, Lord Dia. Kuroro and I are from the same hometown in Meteor City. He attacked Kakin's pharmaceutical factory and obtained the formula for [Ampovirumab]. He wanted me to send it back to Meteor City, which is why the two groups met. It's all my fault."
As he spoke, Ruby slapped himself several times in deep regret, the sound so loud that Dia on the other end of the receiver could hear it.
Dia frowned and decisively said:
"Stop! This isn't your fault. Their joining forces might not be a bad thing. On the contrary, it makes it easier for me to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. So you could even be considered to have done something good, understand?"
"Is that so?"
Ruby's voice was hesitant, but Dia had no intention of continuing the conversation on that point, and quickly said:
"Alright, enough nonsense. The information you gave me is very important. Although I don't know what your purpose was in making this choice, I am not someone who doesn't distinguish between reward and punishment."
"The formula Kuroro gave you is just a temporary measure. I already have a usable vaccine and preparation process here. I will pack it up and send it to you later."
"In exchange, you must report to me on the movements of Melina and the others at any time."
"Yes, yes! Lord Dia, I will proclaim your greatness and benevolence for the millions of people in my homeland!"
Even before he knew what Dia had said, Ruby was already in tears, deeply moved, and his words were filled with piety and gratitude.
Update delayed
Party and Youth League activities included a morning of learning at the City Balcony, followed by a teacher appreciation banquet in the evening. Update this afternoon.
Chapter 433 Entering the Palace × Begins
19 o'clock exactly.
Halkenbrugge stared at the cell phone Barusamirko handed him with a gloomy expression, saying nothing.
Barusamirko, with a respectful expression, held up the phone and urged again:
"Your Highness, it's a rare occasion for the Princess Consort to offer her condolences. It's only proper that you take the time to let her know you're safe and sound..."
Reporting that you're safe? It's probably just a test.
Harkenbrug knew this was just Barusamirko's first test, and even if he declined now, there would be a second and a third time.
The other party probably already had the answer in mind, but was just being cautious, which is why they made the call.
but.
Halkenbrugge's heart stirred slightly; the current probing might very well become an opportunity.
Here's the question: Was Barusamirko loyal to Benjamin?
Definitely.
Given his loyalty, even if he knew that the soul inside Benjamin wasn't his own, would he really act rashly?
I'm afraid not.
Then there's nothing to worry about. As long as we maintain a superficial attitude towards Barusamirko, the same applies to the other private soldiers; there's no need to worry about their loyalty.
Halkenbrugger already had a plan in mind. He reached for the phone and calmly began to speak:
"Greetings, Mother."
"...Is that you, my son?"
"It's me, it's me."
"Okay... I know you will definitely become king. I feel relieved to hear your voice. Give the phone to Barusa."
"Yes, Mother."
Halkenbrugge was certain.
The eldest princess... or rather, his original body's biological mother, stood on "his" side.
Or rather, they stood on the side of this body.
Halkenbrugg knew that with the First Princess's wisdom and understanding of Benjamin's character, she would be able to tell the moment he opened his mouth whether it was Benjamin himself speaking.
But instead of pointing it out on the spot, she hinted at asking the question indirectly.
In the end, Halkenbrugge's answer did not disappoint her; perhaps this was a kind of tacit understanding between mother and son.
She didn't care who the eldest prince was; she only wanted to be his mother.
The brief conversation between the two just now contained a lot of information. Both sides were pretending not to understand, and even intentionally reached some kind of consensus.
In any case, to the First Princess, both Halkenbrugg and Benjamin were essentially her sons.
As for why Halkenbrugg later became the son of the second princess, that involves many complicated reasons, which need not be elaborated upon.
Halkenbrug calmly handed the phone to Barusamirko.
At this distance, the other party should also be able to hear the conversation between the two of them.
"...Yes, that's fine...Yes, Your Highness, may you be well."
Barusamirko said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone and then hung up.
Is there anything else?
Harkenbrug was certain that the Grand Princess's instructions to Barusamirko were to make him obey orders.
As expected, Barusamirko gave Halkenbrug a deep look and made no further attempts to probe.
Then, as if he were dealing with the real Benjamin, he spoke respectfully to Halkenbrugge:
"Your Highness, half an hour ago, we received intelligence that the Twelfth Prince would be entering the palace to meet the King."
"Purpose unknown."
Mumu Ze? Has Dia started making her move?
Harkenbrug immediately thought of Dia, and he was 90% certain that Dia's visit to the palace in Mumuzhe was Dia's doing.
But what is the purpose of this operation?
He wasn't sure, but if the other side was going to take action tonight, it would be best if he were there too.
but……
Halkenbrug glanced at Barusamirko discreetly.
The other party is very clever, and his position is naturally contrary to that of Dia. If he brings Balsamirko and the other prince's private soldiers with him, it may have the opposite effect.
After thinking for a moment, Halkenbrugg said calmly:
"Ignore it."
“Since the king’s decree to summon her has been issued, it cannot be stopped unless we ambush and kill her before she enters the palace.”
"But it's too difficult and too risky. It's better to wait and see how things develop. You should pass the word and tell everyone to get ready."
"If any signs of a coup d'état appear, lead troops to surround the palace."
Barusamirko's expression became more serious, and he nodded decisively:
"Yes!"
After Barusamirko left, Halkenbrug walked out of the underground military base alone, until he reached a secluded spot.
