Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]

Chapter 52 The Princess' Choice (9)

After announcing that he would take a break, Lu Fengdeng carefully reasoned and considered the concept of "a while".

In the end, he stood up after resting in the guest room for 10 minutes, ready to fulfill his previous promise to supervise the thorough investigation of the palace and the raising of food and grass.

The current situation was created by him alone, and the purpose is to seize the initiative.

This dungeon is different from the previous dungeons. In the previous dungeons, Lu Fengdeng was able to lurk and wait patiently because he knew very well that he had the ability to absolutely protect himself. No one could hurt him until the key clue came out.

So he can proceed with caution.

But the new dungeon is different, maybe no one can kill him by force, but due to the restrictions of the dungeon conditions, it is very likely that someone will kill him instead.

The situation of a princess who is not favored and has a low sense of existence is too passive.

Catherine had no power, no backing, and was completely unobtrusive.If others pressed her step by step, all she could do was retreat step by step until there was no way to retreat, and finally died quietly.

And there is only one way for her to get ahead quickly in such an embarrassing position, which is to make full use of her status and write it as the first heir in the kingdom's law code.

Now the forces of all parties have not fully covered the sky with one hand. As long as the king dies unexpectedly, Catherine will be pushed to the forefront and attract everyone's attention.

Her life and death, every move will affect all forces in an instant, and will be watched by the whole country.Now that the border is at war again, it is the best time for Catherine to take power.

Therefore, Lu Fengdeng did not hesitate to pour the juice squeezed from the rhizome of daffodils into the royal wine pot, which is rich in lycorine.

The alcoholic king drank a whole cup, and because of his emotional agitation and blood vessels, a large amount of lycorine quickly took effect along with the blood circulation, causing him to paralyze his respiratory system and go into shock on the spot, and now he is probably dead .

And Princess Mary and the Queen drink less, and they should still be recuperating now.

Large doses of lycorine can cause poisoning and even death, but it has no effect on Lu Fengdeng.

After he controlled his body to pretend to be poisoned for a period of time, he gradually came into contact with the kingdom's power through the assassination of the awakened Knight Lance.At the same time, let the awakened ones in the dark understand that it is not easy to assassinate him.

If it was the original Princess Catherine, she would probably be assassinated by political enemies in the palace, such as Princess Mary and the queen, during this period of turmoil, and she would probably die.

But now that Lu Fengdeng took the other party's place, no one but himself could physically decide his life or death.

What's more, Princess Catherine has been "assassinated" once on the surface, and the guards of the palace will definitely be strengthened.Even if the princess's political opponents want to make a move now, I'm afraid they have to weigh it carefully.

This also saved Lu Fengdeng from the trouble of being suspected by a large number of NPCs when he defended himself.

What he needs to do now is to grasp as much power as possible as soon as possible during this period, so that even if someone tries to turn to slander him in public opinion, he will have room to fight back.

Today is already the fifth day that Lu Fengdeng has entered the dungeon, as long as he spends two more days safely, he can complete the task satisfactorily.

The deadline is approaching, he is on the defensive in the open, while the enemy is on the offensive, both open and dark.

The other party is far more anxious than him.

The door was opened, and the guards outside were two personally selected by the head of the border garrison from among his own soldiers.The two of them didn't talk nonsense when they saw Princess Catherine coming out, they just followed each other to ensure the safety of the princess.

The fact that Princess Catherine only rested for 10 minutes was obviously unexpected.

When she was walking through the dark corridor, she heard some movement from the direction of her room from a distance.Immediately afterwards, the maid's heart-piercing cry sounded muffled because it was blocked by the door:

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Come on!"

"Someone stole something from the princess' room!"

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of crazy slamming doors, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the faint sound of fighting.

Not only Lu Fengdeng, but also the two guards beside him heard it.

The three of them rushed to Princess Catherine's room and slammed the door open, only to see Maid Mei Li sitting on the ground, the corner of her skirt torn into a long strip, and her hair, which was originally neatly coiled, was scattered and hung messily on the ground. shoulders.

The daffodil pots on the window sill had fallen to the ground and were smashed, and the black soil was spilled all over the floor, revealing the intact rhizomes of daffodils inside.

Lu Fengdeng lifted the hem of his skirt and stepped across the splashed soil, and first helped maid Mei Li who had fallen on the ground to get up.

The two guards then occupied two viewing points, one looking out to see the traces of the person who invaded the princess' room, and the other standing beside Princess Catherine, wary of the opponent's return of the carbine at any time.

There was a lot of commotion here, but after a while, the cabinet officials who were discussing matters in the palace, the head of the border garrison and the cardinal rushed over.

As soon as they entered, the first thing they saw was Princess Catherine's pale face and frowning brows, as well as the soil on the ground.

Snow was the first to ask, "What happened?"

Maid Mei Li seemed to have not escaped from the shock just now, she said in a trembling voice: "Just now when I came in to tidy up the room, I saw..."

She paused here, then looked up at Princess Catherine quietly.

Seeing the other party's expression condensed, Maid Mei Li pondered for a while, but still didn't say anything: "I saw someone holding daffodils in their hands, and wanted to take the princess's flower pot! I don't know what he wants to do, but I don't think he wants to." It must not be a good person to say hello and come in, as expected, he wanted to kill me as soon as he saw me!"

Snow asked, "Do you remember what he looked like?"

Maid Mei Li hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I didn't see it very clearly. His back was facing the light, and he seemed to be covering his face. I just remember that he was taller, and he was a bit shaped, a bit like..."

When he said this, the mission from the neighboring country finally arrived late.

As soon as Prince Derek stepped into Princess Catherine's room, he heard a small female voice from the opposite side: "Somewhat like Prince Derek."

Actually it was him.

Maid Meili thought to herself.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is best not to say it, then she can connotate it, and if there are teammates who did not show up, she can also remind her.

As for what other people think, it is a matter of opinion.

Prince Derek paused, but put on a smile on his face: "Fortunately, it's just like me."

After finishing speaking, he glanced vaguely at the maid who looked a little thin.

He rarely sees this person, and usually has no sense of existence, but he didn't expect that he was also an awakened person.She is also very careful, and after the accident, she still thinks of staying in the room of her teammates, fearing that someone will tamper with her.

When I came over and wanted to replace the narcissus in the flower pot with a daffodil with a piece of root missing, so as to plant Catherine to poison the king, the other party screamed and quarreled all the people outside the door, and then moved away from me in a strange way He snatched the flower pot, lost his hand and fell to the ground behind him.

He really didn't give himself a chance.

Prince Derek felt very powerless when he thought of the other party's behavior just now.

The king really can't predict the position of the bronze!

The only thing to be thankful for is that this person is really very weak.Otherwise, if there is another ruthless mid-level awakened person who has not recovered from his injuries, he will definitely fall here.

Lu Fengdeng didn't make a sound.

For now, it looks like Mei Li is on his side.Although the other party didn't say it clearly just now, he had already reminded himself that it was Derek who was preparing to do something in the princess room.

Now is indeed not the time to tear up the face with each other, after all, the two countries still have to fight together.

Although Lu Fengdeng can also choose to directly tear his face with Derek now, so that all the black hands of the prince will no longer work, and he can complete the task by defending against the assassination in the palace for two days.

But not necessary.

Firstly, if I am too tough, it will easily arouse the suspicion of NPC, and there will be bad consequences.

Secondly, since Lu Fengdeng left, this world will continue, he is not used to it and does not like to leave mess for others.

But the head of the border garrison narrowed his eyes: "Like Prince Derek? I'm afraid it's..."

What Princess Catherine can't reveal, he can, after all, his setting is reckless and direct.

It's just that the leader's words were not finished yet, and the cardinal at the side said: "General, be careful."

The cardinal hadn't said anything since he entered the royal city, and his sense of presence had always been low, and he didn't participate in political affairs.

But in the context of this world, no one can underestimate him.

After all, the vast majority of countries in the world are religious countries rather than secular countries. Unless there are special circumstances, what the cardinal said is overwhelmingly credible to the people of his country.

Anyone who strongly refutes the other party, unless there are special circumstances, will be regarded as a heretic and rejected by the people, and will even be executed.

The royal family and religion have struggled for power for hundreds of years, and now it is just a compromise between the two sides to achieve a balance.

The head of the border garrison stopped talking.

Snow also looked over.

The cardinal said slowly: "Prince Derek is agile and skilled in swordsmanship. I think he has such a figure that he has obtained from practicing swords all the year round. The assassin that Maid Mei Li met could run without a trace in a short time. It can be seen that it is also agile."

"Perhaps people with agility are more similar in body shape, so the other party said that. Please don't mind Prince Derek."

The head of the border garrison cast a veiled glance at the cardinal.

There is something wrong with this man.

Why are you in such a hurry to talk to the other party?

Obviously, it seemed quite normal to set foot on the way back to the royal city with him before, like an ordinary NPC.

Sure enough, he is too good at hiding?

On the contrary, Derek looked at the other party with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I also know that Maid Mei Li is just afraid."

The cardinal is interesting.

Could it be that the opponent is his third teammate?
