Aren’t these people afraid of death?

"The Royal City..."

"Norel?"

Noelle pulled me towards the royal city. "Don't you have no feelings for the Kingdom of Edvira?"

"Home..."

Noelle said softly.

Home...

I see...

With a helpless smile, I could only rush over with her. After all, the royal city couldn't be that fragile, right? Why was she so worried...

When we arrived, the scene before us left Norelle and I speechless. There was a large pit on the ground, and a lot of burnt blood emitting a foul smell. A half-blown horse head was not far from the pit where the explosion occurred.

There was a man lying on the ground over there. He was the groom.

I put Noelle down and ran towards the groom.

Noelle also walked over quickly.

I turned the groom over and saw that he was dead, with half of his face missing...

The guards on duty at the gate of the royal city were also lying on the ground, but judging by the situation, they must have been knocked unconscious by the impact of the explosion.

[Warning, enemy attack]

Shi Yin suddenly reminded.

"Norel!"

Suddenly I saw a red light flashing towards here in the distance, and I pushed Noelle away.

boom! ! !

Fire, heat, and the impact of the explosion rushed towards me.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The impact knocked me a long way before I fell to the ground.

"elder brother!"

Noelle crawled towards me regardless of everything, and the guards in the royal city also rushed out, led by Lenora. When she saw Noelle, Lenora immediately led the troops to block in front of us.

Another red light flashed over there, and Lenora drew her sword: "Power! Flame Wind Control! Scorching Fire Slash!"

boom! ! !

The crimson flame slashed out and collided with the red light shot towards her. A huge impact came again, but Lenora dispelled the impact with a wave of her sword. She was indeed very strong, and she didn't take it seriously at all when she fought with me.

"Protect Her Majesty!"

Her guards surrounded us.

Lenora was alert to her surroundings.

“Brother! Brother! Brother!”

I feel dizzy and the world is dark...

My eyes went dark, and I knew nothing...

Chapter 107 The Weak Side

"..."

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling and my head felt a little dizzy...

"elder brother!"

Noelle's scream made my already dizzy head even more dizzy.

Then she hugged me tightly, and I could hear faint sobs in my ears. I remained unconscious for a while and then gradually began to feel better. During this time, Noelle kept hugging me tightly and sobbing.

I don't know how to comfort her better, but I now know one thing more clearly: someone wanted to kill Noelle and me last night, but unfortunately he failed. The groom and the horse died instead of Noelle and me.

"Brother...brother..."

I patted her back gently. "I'm fine now. Don't cry. What's more important now is that you understand that someone tried to assassinate you last night. Your Majesty, have you properly arranged for someone to investigate this matter?"

"It's fine with me! But you..."

"You are the queen. If anything happens to you, the Kingdom of Edvira will be in chaos."

"What Kingdom of Edvira! What Her Majesty the Queen! I don't care about anything else! I only care about you! I only want you! Just you is enough for me!"

I sighed helplessly. Never mind. I knew she'd probably answer me like that, but I really hoped she'd change her tune. Anyone would be happy to hear that, except me. She's Noelle, the Queen...

My Queen...

Why are you so stupid...

"According to eyewitnesses, the carriage had just reached the open space in front of the city gate and had not yet stopped when it was attacked."

In other words, after we left, the groom did not return to the royal city but stayed on the central street. At that time, he went to the place to pick us up as agreed with us, and then he was attacked.

Those people probably had ambushed us from the beginning. Noelle had not left the royal city for a long time. Those people had been waiting for that opportunity, but they didn't expect that we were not on the carriage at that time.

Could it be Edith and Nadia?

I couldn't help but think in that direction, but if it was those two people, it would be impossible for them to do such a thing, especially Edith. She didn't seem to want to kill Noelle, but wanted to control her. In fact, I didn't quite understand what Edith was really thinking. Did Edith have the intention to kill after we left?

Noelle fell asleep. She had been watching over me all night and now she was asleep with her head resting on my legs.

"Could Her Majesty the Queen also show such a weak side..."

Elolinwei looked at Noelle with complicated eyes.

"What is Noelle to you?"

"She is a powerful and perfect queen. No matter what happens, she always stays calm and finds a way to resolve it."

"You don't understand Norelle at all. She's just pretending a lot of the time. But I probably don't understand her either. That's the real her..."

I still don't understand who the real her is.

"Lady Lenora has gone to look for the assassin."

"I don't expect that person to be able to catch the assassin or anything. Tell her to be careful."

"Lord Noxiu"

Eloline suddenly called my name.

"what happened?"

"I'm so glad you're okay. Please don't act like that again next time. Her Majesty the Queen is really worried about you."

"Um..."

Maybe I will do something reckless next time. I said, I want to protect her, and I also want to seize my own freedom, no matter where it is.

"I will probably do the same thing next time. At least I don't regret my choice."

I whispered, gently touching Noelle's head.

Chapter 108 Interrogation

After changing my clothes, I glanced at Noelle lying on the bed.

There's no need to bother her today.

When I walked out the door, Eloline was waiting for me.

"Master Nowei, don't you need to rest a little longer?"

"no need"

Now I am Nowei, Nowei wearing women’s clothes.

Lenora has returned, and I have to go find her to find out what happened. After all, this is a very serious matter. We encountered this at the gate of the royal city. If we were not lucky, Noelle and I might have turned into coal slag by now.

Lenora was already waiting in the council chamber. Seeing it was me, she glanced at me with disdain and looked at Eloline behind me: "Where is Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Her Majesty the Queen has been frightened and is still resting. This matter will be handled by Lord Norwei. This is Her Majesty's order."

I was a little surprised. Noelle didn't mention this, but Elolinewei said it without my permission.

Forget it. Even if something goes wrong, I guess Noelle won't blame Elolinewei. Even if anything happens, I will stand up and take responsibility.

"Okay, tell me what you found."

"We've searched the entire capital but haven't found the assassin, and he's not from the Rom residence. I've been monitoring the Rom sisters for some time, and they haven't done anything to endanger Her Majesty the Queen. So I suspect the assassin is from the Prince's Palace. Prince De Vera is the most suspicious, and I plan to arrest him."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Do you still need evidence? Prince Devia has always had strong feelings towards Her Majesty the Queen and you, especially you. You killed his son, so it is only natural for him to seek revenge on you."

"It's nice to say, but don't you know that calculating the law doesn't mean you're going to kill someone? Everything requires evidence. You don't have any proof that Prince Devia did this. Do you believe the Rom sisters will use this as an excuse to attack you?"

Lenora sighed with a helpless expression.

I also doubt Devia. If it was that guy, everything would make sense. But I have also studied the laws of this country carefully. The law does not punish the heart. It is absolutely not allowed to arrest and execute someone based on mere suspicion.

Edvira is already in chaos enough, and we can't create more chaos. This matter needs to be considered carefully.

It was me who was assassinated. Unfortunately, I have a strong desire for revenge. My life is threatened, so I have to do everything I can to eliminate this threat.

"Anything else you discovered? Don't tell me you just had a suspicion."

"What's attacking you is power, and it's a very powerful power. I'm certain of one thing: their strength might even surpass mine. They might be mercenaries from other countries. Mercenaries generally have a powerful person at their core, spread across the continent, but not all mercenaries are strong. If they are mercenaries, there might be a group of them right now within the borders of the Kingdom of Edvira, or even within the capital!"

Mercenaries?

That person uses money to ward off disasters for others. This kind of thing is not surprising. As long as they have money, they dare to do most things. Assassinating the queen is just a matter of life and death. After doing it, the worst that can happen is that they can run away.

"I plan to investigate everyone coming and going in the capital during this period. I think I can find some clues."

"what..."

What would the Lom sisters think of this?

I have to try it out.

Chapter 109: Like the Heart of an Old Father

"Elolinwei"

"Ok?"

After I came out, Ai Luolinwei was still waiting for me at the door. Speaking of which, I just recently discovered that this maid has too much power. Sometimes Noleer would entrust some important things to her, which made Noleer very happy.

"Go and inform the Rom sisters that... Noxu is returning their invitation and plans to have them have tea in the palace courtyard. Please have the maids prepare it."

"Um"

After receiving the order, Ai Luolinwei trotted away. Is it really okay to order such a little girl?

I don't care about that anymore. I just visited the Rom sisters' house yesterday, but today I have to invite them over for tea or something.

When something like this happens, they should think that I am doubting them.

"Why did you invite the Lom sisters to tea? What are you planning to do? Even if Her Majesty the Queen is not here, you can't do anything rash."

"Don't worry, I have my own considerations. And don't you want to know? Is it the Lom sisters who did this?"

Lenora questioned it briefly but didn't ask any more questions. "I still need to investigate the people who have appeared in the capital recently. The Rom sisters are not good people. Be careful. You are now the Queen's most trusted person. Please don't let her down."

I spread my hands. Give me the courage or give me more lives to betray Noelle...

"By the way, why did the Lom sisters and Noelle become like that?"

"Instead of asking me, shouldn't you ask Her Majesty the Queen? Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

It turns out that you didn’t know. If you didn’t know, why are you talking so confidently?

But I'm really curious why the relationship between the Lom sisters and Noelle is so bad.

Is it just because they are powerful ministers and kings? I always feel that it is not that simple, there must be some complicated relationship between them.

"Lord Noxu, I have already informed Lady Edith and Lady Nadia."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."
