Red Moon Returns

"This is actually an open secret of the Rand royal family. You are not in Norin, and you rarely come into contact with these trivial matters, so you don't know the inside story."

Seeing that Lynch was a little confused, Miss Valente explained in a low voice:

"Prince William is the eldest son of the king, but Princess Sofia is the eldest princess. Theoretically, the position of Crown Prince Rand should belong to His Highness William, but it is not against the law for Princess Sofia to be the crown prince."

Lynch blinked, with only one thought in his mind: What was she talking about? Is it really Randwen?

Miss Valente gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, pressed her forehead and sighed in despair: "Well, in short, both of them are actually qualified to become crown princes, but Prince William's legal basis is more solid, and Princess Sofia is not interested either. Fighting for it, so he has always been the future crown prince, and it is expected that he will be officially crowned prince by the end of July.”

"so what?"

"But His Majesty Rudolf II is actually not satisfied with him. Otherwise, he would have been crowned Crown Prince long ago, and it would not have been delayed until now. Although he has decided to crown him, His Majesty is still in his prime, and Princess Sofia is also young. In the future, the two Something may happen in thirty years. He may be replaced by His Majesty one day."

"Hey, so he wants to kill his father and his relatives?"

"Of course you can't openly kill your father. That would be equivalent to challenging the aristocratic order of the world. It's also dangerous to do it secretly. It's too easy to see the clues. And Rudolf II is not someone who can be easily plotted."

Lynch looked stern and realized the implication of Miss Valente's words: "After the canonization, he will have the status of crown prince, and then he will clone his father and sister, and the clone princess will kill the fake king in public, so that he can have no hindrance became His Majesty William IV.”

Miss Valente nodded and said: "Yes, the mysterious things in the royal capital are in charge of the watchers. If you want to use other mysterious objects to do this kind of thing, you will be easily traced, but this mirror is very difficult to trace based on its description. But the premise is that the clone can really find this advent-level wonder. It's just a legend that has been around for thousands of years. Why do they believe so much that they would spend so much money to find it? "

"I'm afraid it's the other way around." Lynch sighed, and after turning on the phantom sound, whispered in Miss Valente's ear, "I didn't tell you the reason why I investigated the railway project plan before. I will tell you later. Please explain in detail. In short, I suspect that Prince William and others wanted to find the mirror through this plan, but found that they had to rely on the replica gem, so they issued a high reward."

"Then it all makes sense." Miss Valente covered her mouth with a folding fan and said softly, "You'd better be careful about this princess. She's not as honest as she appears. Even though she gave in, she was really scared. , but the defense line has not been completely broken, and there is still something hidden in the words. "

"Um?"

"Let me do it."

Miss Valente did not answer, but blinked narrowly at Lynch. When she turned to Princess Chloe again, her expression had become dignified and graceful.

"You also thought of this possibility and made up your mind to do this, Your Highness Chloe. Oh, now let's talk about business, collect your tears first. As the heir of a noble lady who grew up in the royal family, you must really do it because I cry like this because of this little grievance. I have long cried until I was dehydrated. If I am afraid, I will admit my mistake. If I admit my mistake, I will not forget to use some tricks. You look down on the education of our Valente family and think that I am a Valente. The eldest daughter of the family, can’t you see this point in your mind?”

Miss Valente looked at Princess Chloe with playful eyes, her expression was calm and her tone was calm, but there seemed to be a needle hidden in every word:

"My willingness to show my grievances and fears, and my willingness to pretend to be obedient and tamed, is just to give Mr. Lynch a sense of revenge and accomplishment, so that he will no longer care about your previous offenses and not disclose what you have done in anger. It seems that you are really scared and have put away your ridiculous arrogance. But do you really think that pretending to be pitiful will be useful to Mr. Lynch? He just thinks that you still care about innocent people and that you still have humanity. , and I’m really scared, and I can’t bear to scare you anymore. If you really think he can’t see your intentions, I don’t mind letting you recognize yourself.”

No, I really didn’t see it. Who knew that you nobles, even fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old kid, would be so smart that you would not forget to play some tricks in this situation.

As expected of you, Lynch's eyes almost sparkled when he looked at Miss Valente. I am just a detective analyzing the case. If I really want to use tricks to figure out people's hearts, I have to rely on you.

Miss Valente seemed to understand Lynch's eyes, she avoided Chloe's gaze, and gave Lynch a slightly proud look. Chloe didn't notice their little actions, she was just depressed. He glanced at the two of them, shrank back, lowered his head with no arrogance, and muttered: "I'm sorry."

"Oh, you only told half of what you said just now and kept half of it, but I can't blame you. I'll fill in the inconvenience for you."

Seeing that Chloe was completely honest, Miss Valente smiled and said casually:

"You must be aware of the possibility I just mentioned. You have even asked the royal family of Sarthe for instructions, and they asked you to lend the replica to His Highness William. On the one hand, it is to ensure the smooth progress of the railway project, and on the other hand, they do not know whether I really hope that Rand will be in chaos. But you don’t dare. It is a battle for royal power. If you are not careful, it will affect others. The Russell family will definitely not be able to affect them in the New World, but you are in Rand and will be affected first. It’s definitely you.”

Princess Chloe crossed her arms, leaned back again, and lowered her head.

"You don't dare to disobey the royal family's orders, and you don't want to offend Prince William and undermine your cooperation. You are also worried that the Rose Family will secretly target you after the incident. You are also worried that something will happen to the Advent-level rare item and cause a huge disaster. You will be burdened with countless innocent people. His soul became the sinner of the world, so he came up with this way to deceive everyone. But I don’t understand why you and Count Lorende treated Mr. Lynch like that the night before?”

Princess Chloe lowered her head and was silent for a while, glanced timidly at Lynch and Miss Valente, and then said honestly: "I don't know what their plans are, I just want to create something for them." Please trouble me and kick out the person they recommended."

"So this is why I don't like you, Your Highness Chloe." Lynch sighed, "It's not because you provoke me, but because of your attitude. Maybe you have a very legitimate reason and a very noble reason." goal, but in the process of moving towards the goal, you don't consider the life and death of others at all, and you don't consider whether your method of kicking me out will cause irreparable losses to me. To put it bluntly, it is to achieve the goal by any means. "In my opinion, there is no essential difference between you and Prince William."

"Die by horseback riding, die by eating, die by sleeping, die by bathing, die by climbing mountains, die by fishing..." Princess Chloe said self-deprecatingly, "Living in the royal family, you may encounter new ways of death at any time, and it is difficult for people who consider the means to survive. adult."

"Well, I can understand it, but I can't accept it." Lynch shook his head and said, "But considering the matter, I don't object to your purpose, and you just admitted your mistake and apologized, whether it was pretending or really. Although I was forced to do so, my anger has been reduced by half, so at least this time I don’t intend to announce the matter and ruin your plan. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Princess Chloe bit her lip and nodded slightly in approval: "Thank you. Also, you are right. My behavior may indeed be inappropriate. I am really sorry."

"Okay, now that we've reached a consensus, let me ask you whether the replica is in your hands now."

"yes."

"Does Count Lorende know?"

"Only I know."

"Very well, then keep it and don't let anyone know its existence. Now, this thing is the real replica."

Lin Qi picked up the flaming red lips on the table and said with a sinister smile:

"Let me handle this. I'm thinking about how to make it naturally snatched away by the Rangers and Howard's people. I wanted to sell it to them at a high price, but that might arouse their suspicion, so I'd better let them do it themselves. It is safer to steal it, but no matter what method is used, it will be returned to them in the end. Who makes this thing so important to them? It is better to let them use it to carry out their plans. After all, I am not a devil and don't like to destroy others. As for whether they can find what they want in the end and whether the price paid is in vain, that is none of my business. "

Miss Valente immediately moved to the side, farther away, and Lynch suspected that the girl was planning to ask the coachman to call the police.

"This is good for everyone, but Princess, you should inform Alice and the others that the things must be handed over to them at least until the end of July, otherwise they will be coveted by Prince William and others, and it will also be a huge hidden danger for them deep divers." Lin Qi thought for a while, then sighed and said, "If you don't have any objections, let's make this decision. It's just a pity."

"how?"

Lynch leaned into Miss Valente's ear and said: "There should have been a chance to find out in advance what conspiracy they were brewing and to determine whether their target was that mirror. Unfortunately, all the important information on the railway plan was burned in a fire The photo was also damaged due to Mr. Klin's distortion, so I can only find other ways to investigate, but I don't feel comfortable returning this gem to them."

Miss Valente had a strange look on her face and looked at Lynch with confusion: "You are referring to the railway planning information and accident files in the archives of the Hall of Order."

"Yes, you also know about their existence?" Lin Qi suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "That day you put on makeup and went to the Hall of Order, didn't you just go to look up the information?"

Miss Valente nodded.

Lin Qi's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked expectantly: "Did you record the contents? For example, take photos or something like that."

Miss Valente shook her head: "No, I didn't remember anything."

The hopes he had just raised were dashed again. Lin Qi sighed with deep disappointment, and then listened to the girl continue talking.

"I thought it was troublesome that day, so I asked my connections to send all the information home, and then I left the Hall of Order."

What the hell?

"The thing I've been looking for for half a month has actually been in your hands?"

Lin Qi felt a little dizzy for a moment, but thinking about the timing of this girl's appearance that day, it was unexpectedly reasonable.

"That's right." Miss Valente tilted her head and supported her chin, also looking surprised, "You didn't say you were looking for those things. They were in the library next to your guest room last night, and you slept with them. One night.”

? ? ?

Damn it!
