In desperation, Yu Yuan reluctantly pushed Fernando aside and stood up to explain to Durand.

"Fernando and I, uh..." Even Yu Yuan, who could make up nonsense, couldn't help but get stuck.But the figure of Durand holding the oil lamp was unusually silent, and half of his face was obscured in the shadows.

The more anxious he spoke, the faster Yu Yuan complained to Lin Ling: "Shouldn't he say that you don't need to explain anything in this situation?"

Lin Ling chuckled: "Why didn't you just wait for him to say 'I forgive you'."

Yu Yuan is very elegant and easy-going: "...shut up."

While Yu Yuan was still thinking about his words, Durand approached slowly step by step, and Fernando, the second party involved, was unconscious all the time, Yu Yuan scolded him eight hundred times in his heart, and passed out to save trouble.

Lin Ling: "I have to say, not only your hair is loose, but your clothes are also messy."

Only then did Yu Yuan wake up like a dream and quickly arrange his clothes.Conscience of heaven and earth, these are all the clothes that Fernando messed up just now when he touched the article behind him.

But the look in Durand's eyes...Yu Yuan felt as if he had died eight hundred times in front of the cub he was about to raise.

Instead of continuing to hide, it's better to just say something real and go out to divert attention.As Yu Yuan thought about it, he immediately said, "Fernando wants to check the pattern on my back."

Durand knew about this last time, and asked him.

However, Yu Yuan's little plan failed, and Durand did not ask him what pattern was behind him as he wished, and why the new king kept entangled in this question.Instead, with a gloomy expression, he said a sentence that was exactly the same as last time: "He forced you."

Yu Yuan: "..." Cub!Is this the only cognition you have left of my relationship with him? ? ?

Lin Ling: "Your cub's mind is useless, get a new one."

"No." Yu Yuan said sternly, "We just check the relationship between the patterns on the back."

He stepped forward and took Durand's hand. Durand seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he went anyway.

"Go down first, and I'll explain to you later." Yu Yuan grabbed Durand's hand with both hands, very sincerely.

On the other side, Fernando, who seemed to be unconscious, was lying in the corner surrounded by iron chains.

Durand looked around the room again with his gentle gaze. The dim room, the two people who appeared here, and... the person in front of him seemed very pitiful.

Maybe it's a talent, but Durand can tell right away that it's fake.What should the real situation be like?The other party enjoys this secret feeling very much, or has he met Fernando here more than once, or, is he using his original real appearance, or is it like this now...

Durand thought quietly.

After the person in front of him made another request to leave here first, he smiled and said, "Let's go, Edith."

The stairs of the high tower were very quiet, and Durand walked sideways in front, holding the oil lamp in one hand, and holding the hand of the person behind him with the other.As if they had made an appointment, no one spoke first.

"Are you changing the script from the kindergarten cub raising script now?" Lin Ling said humorously, "It's ok, the prince rescues the princess, the dragon is trapped in a cage, standard script, tip is really a villain no matter what.

"Shut up, don't spread rumors about the little prince." Yu Yuan is really in the stage of raising cubs now.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of "Fernando will never find out", Yu Yuan took Durand to a study room that belonged to him first, and came back immediately after tidying up his clothes.What he wants to communicate with Durand is the direction of his efforts in the future, which can not only divert the previous topic, but also continue to advance the task of [King·Phase [-]].

But Durand lacked interest, and finally couldn't help it when he heard the Queen mentioned that he needed to win over a nobleman most now.

"Is it part of your plan that Fernando treats you like that?"

Just after bragging to Lin Ling about how tolerant and magnanimous the little prince was, when he heard such words, Yu Yuan almost couldn't breathe, "How is it possible? Why do you think so, did someone tell you... ...."

"I don't believe any rumors." Durand interrupted him, "This is just my own feeling, Edith, I don't want to offend you, but if this is really your plan, I hope you can give up."

Yu Yuan sighed in his heart, also admired the little prince who was gentle and silent on the surface, but actually had such a detailed and complicated brain circuit inside.

"No, as I said, Fernando just wanted to check the pattern on my back."

Durand folded his hands and sat back in the sofa chair, "What's on the back?"

"...a pattern of a spell formation, I don't know the details." Yu Yuan didn't say much.

"Edith." Durand's eyes suddenly became serious, "If I say I have a way, would you like to let me see the pattern?"

"Okay." Yu Yuan rubbed his temples with some headaches, what kind of joke are they talking about? The relationship between the two of them is at least a queen and prince in name, "Let's stop thinking about this question first, and you will return tomorrow." You have to go to the Knights to train."

This is what it means to drive people away.

Of course Durand could understand, got up and saluted before leaving.

Before opening the door, Yu Yuan saw that Durand was a little unhappy, but he softened his heart after all, and said: "Be careful on the way back."

"Ah."

Everything seems to be working fine.

Early the next morning.

After going online again after a break, the first person I saw was Nancy, who brought breakfast to the room as usual.However, Yu Yuan keenly noticed that Nancy's expression seemed to be a little abnormal.

He was a little curious: "What's wrong?"

Nancy was a little hesitant, before she spoke slowly: "Your Highness, don't you know what happened last night?"

"Last night? I didn't notice any movement?" He took a sip of the milk, "Just say it."

Nancy: "The corpses of a servant and a knight were found at the West Castle. Now His Majesty the King knows about it and is starting to investigate clues..."

Her complexion was very ugly, not only because someone died, but also because she died in the palace. After the news came out this morning, almost the entire palace was shocked, and this atmosphere should spread to the palace in a short time. within range.

Hearing the key words, Yu Yuan's mind suddenly buzzed, and he didn't pay attention to the following narration at all.

West Castle, what a coincidence...the southwest tower is in this area.

He quickly grabbed Nancy's sleeve and asked, "What time did it happen?"

"I heard that the body was found after twelve o'clock, but I don't know more about it."

Yu Yuan's face darkened immediately.

"Your Highness the Queen?" Seeing that the Queen was distracted, Nancy reminded: "I still want to tell you about His Majesty's will. Martial law will start in the palace today. People who pass through the palace must be strictly checked until they are found. Your Majesty said it specifically, for your sake." For the sake of your safety, you can’t go out again in the near future.”

This is simply banning in disguise.

"I know, you go down first."

As soon as Nancy left, Yu Yuan immediately got out of bed, went to the desk, took out a piece of paper and began to organize the timeline.

At twelve o'clock, he went to the tower at 10:30 in the evening. When he came out, he deliberately checked the time. It was only eleven o'clock at most, and it was almost 11:30 after talking with Durand.

The palace is always patrolled by guards, even if it is a place where few people pass by near the southwest tower, there must be guards patrolling the whole time.

...The time when these two people died is probably very close to the time when he, Durand, and Fernando appeared in the southwest tower.

As he was writing, he suddenly had a bad suspicion.

"Monsters, or people with the blood of monsters, will they attack ordinary people?" Yu Yuan always likes to talk to himself when he talks to Lin Ling a lot, "Fernando chains himself in the tower every once in a while, And let the steward lock the door of the tower..."

On the one hand, being able to be locked up must be due to inability to control-could it be because of inability to control the urge to hurt others?Yu Yuan thought back to Fernando's terrifying expression last night, and it was very unfortunate that he was the one who went to the tower last night, just in time to bump into Fernando and break free from the chain.

On the other hand, Nancy did not mention the identity of the person who died, a servant and a knight, could it be the steward...

"Lin Ling." Yu Yuan could only ask the other party for help now, "Is this also part of the normal plot of the game?"

"That's right." Lin Ling said, "I told you at the beginning that this game has a bit of suspense. You'd better find a way to investigate it clearly. This will affect the final ending."

Yu Yuan has to go and have a look, but right now there is a more critical question - what will happen after the little prince?

After Yu Yuan went out, he called Nancy again, and asked Nancy to see if she could invite Princess Madeleine.About an hour later, he saw the little princess.

This time the meeting was no longer as unfamiliar as it was at the beginning, the little princess seemed very warm, Yu Yuan half bent over and looked at the little princess at the same level.

"Madeleine, do you still remember what we discussed yesterday? You told me that you also want to learn swordsmanship in the Knights Order."

Madeleine nodded heavily, this is what she has always wanted to do, and the queen is the first and only one who agrees with her idea.

"Your brother Durand is currently studying in the Knights at a fixed time every day. Then I will arrange for someone to send you to the Knights every day. You can study with the teacher, okay?" Yu Yuan said softly: "Only one thing, if Durand needs you to send a message to Can you help him while I'm at it?"

"Of course no problem." Madeleine agreed with a smile.

This problem seems to have been solved in this way first.

When Madeleine mentioned for the first time that she wanted to go to the Knights, Yu Yuan realized that it might be a kind of help set in the game to help him, the "queen", to cover up, so as to reduce Fernando's fear of him frequently going out of the city. Suspect.But now, just happened to run into the problem of being grounded, and it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

After sending Madeleine away, Yu Yuan had to go and see what happened to the sudden accident last night.

The body was temporarily stored in the ice cellar near the church, and Yu Yuan, who went there, was stopped by the knights, claiming that His Majesty the King had issued a death order, and no one could go in to check without his will.

But Yu Yuan naturally has other channels, at least he can learn about the specific situation. Not long after, he found a priest who was in charge of assisting this matter early in the morning.Yu Yuan could see the unfolded information on the top of the opponent's head, so it could be seen that he was a character who had a good impression of both the Crown Prince and the Queen.

"The two people who died were very young. The manservant should be responsible for cleaning the area of ​​the West Castle, and the knight is also responsible for that area." In the church, the priest slowly began his narration, stroking his beard from time to time, "Yesterday In the early morning, I helped to open the ice cellar door, and I also checked the remains. The cause of death of the two people is exactly the same, both of them were pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon..."

Yu Yuan, who had already begun to suspect that "Fernando who lost his mind is the murderer", didn't know whether he should be thankful. The servant who died was not the one in charge, and the cause of death did not seem to be an irrational way of killing, at least it was the priest. Judging from the judgment, it was a sharp weapon that killed him with one blow, and it should be the most common kind of dagger.This kind of thing is hidden on the body, it is not easy to be found at all, and it is easy to carry.

Fernando was the only one who appeared in the west tower last night before the incident. Durand and him, if it wasn't related to Fernando, it couldn't be related to Durand?Or was he thinking too much, the murder in the palace was another clue, and it had nothing to do with the two of them?

If he hadn't personally witnessed Fernando being influenced by the blood of the monster and being irrational without reason, as well as the records about his violent behavior in the legion, Yu Yuan might not have associated a king with this kind of thing.

After saying goodbye to the priest politely and leaving the church, Yu Yuan still couldn't figure it out, and his doubts about Fernando fluctuated up and down.

He always felt that he had missed some clues, just like he didn't realize that the ghost Daisy might not only lead to problems with Fernando, but also meant that other characters might become ghosts.

......ghost?

He "saw" Wells' ghost last night, and Princess Madeleine, who didn't understand anything, somehow saw her father, so she sent a message for him.

The last word...that word suddenly echoed in his ears.

— stay away from Fernando.

But in line with the principle in the game that you don’t die until you die, and the prohibition is the reminder, Yu Yuan went directly to see Fernando who took off the blindfold and was going through a painful period alone last night.

keep away.

Is it a real reminder, or is Fernando's aggressiveness really that strong...

In the end, the case ended temporarily because there were not enough clues to investigate further.When he got the news, Yu Yuan remembered the name of this dungeon, "The Haze of the Kingdom".He originally thought that this "haze" referred to Fernando, but now it seems that the haze is the breath of the dead.

But the little prince's "becoming king" plan has to continue.

It had been a little while before Yu Yuan went to the Knights' territory again, and now, Eugene is acting as the teacher of two people alone.

Before the sun set that day, Eugene specially came to see the queen and said that he had something to tell.

"That girl, her talent is even better." Although Eugene can speak the language here now, he still likes to speak to the queen in a language that only they can understand, "Since they are all your children, why not Focus on training that girl?"

Knowing that he was talking about Madeleine, Yu Yuan smiled helplessly: "First of all, I only have a nominal relationship with them, and I just hope that you can teach them both."

"No, I understand something." Eugene gestured habitually, "That Durand is the crown prince, but the little girl is just a princess." A prince and a crown prince are different concepts.

"Girls are fine in our country," Eugene went on.

"It's not my decision, it's His Majesty's choice." Yu Yuan was a little helpless, seeing that he still wanted to continue with this question, he had to change the subject, "Eugene, what's your skill in stealth?" Sample?"

When he first saw this young man, he felt that he was more of an assassin than a traditional swordsman like Howard.

Eugene nodded.

"There is one thing I can only think of that you can do, I don't know if you are willing to take on this task." Yu Yuan stated the general plan, and then said: "I can give you a very generous reward, and you can set the price as you like. "

Hearing this, Lin Ling first said: "You have changed, you are no longer the stingy guy who hesitated to buy Eugene for [-] gold coins."

Yu Yuanquan pretended not to hear, "If you want, I hope you can go in these two days."

"You want me to steal a document?" Eugene felt a little unbelievable, "But you are not the queen, what is there in the palace that will be hidden from you?"

"It's not stealing, it's just borrowing. Strictly speaking, it's the last recorded report of the former King Wells. There really shouldn't be any secrets between me and him, right?" Yu Yuan smiled.

Naturally, he saw that Eugene had a high trust value in him now, so he chose to let the other party carry out this matter.

"...Then I'll see you here the day after tomorrow." Eugene no longer hesitated, and took the map from the queen.

By doing this, Yu Yuan actually just wanted to confirm one very important thing that had not been confirmed before, that is, whether the cause of Wells' death was normal or not?

All kinds of gossip among the nobles continued. Although it was claimed to be a sudden illness, some people thought it was Fernando who was behind it, and some thought it was him, the queen. What's more, even Durand was brought in by conspiracy theories, and there were two combinations Conspiracy to commit crimes, etc., Yu Yuan has collected all these rumors.

As long as the cause of death is determined, some doubts can be resolved.

On the way back, Lin Ling seemed to remember something, and asked, "You asked Wuxing to steal the documents because you want to investigate the real cause of your ex-husband's death?"

"Otherwise? The documents are stored in the room used by the king, and now Fernando is using them. It's up to me how to get them." He had to rely on this to get more clues.

Lin Ling said quietly: "But you don't have Madeleine. Since she can see your ex-husband's ghost, why don't you just let her ask for her help? Doesn't he know how he died better than others?"

"..." seemed to have discovered some blind spot.

"My friend, do you think this is playing with a pen? Could it be that you can't ask the cause of death?"

"Forget it, don't mention Madeleine's sad things." Yu Yuan looked out the window of the carriage, "All the money has been paid, let Eugene investigate."

Lin Ling: "...Sure enough, it's because you spent money. You didn't even let go of the virtual gold coins in the game."

"You said that he is a rare five-star character." Yu Yuan felt angina-like, "Five thousand gold coins, I don't want to make the most of it."
