Chapter 188: Assassin? Assassin!

~7 min read 1,226 words

Looking at the Princess whose skin was whiter than snow in front of her, the jealousy in the Queen's heart surged again, and a pair of beautiful eyes almost stood up.

"There were two people who attacked Her Majesty the Queen! One was wearing a black hunting suit, and one had a fierce aura and a strong build. I seem to have seen them somewhere, I just can't remember for a moment!"

Just at this moment, the Queen's chief guard Weisite rushed over, with some abrasions on his face, but the most eye-catching thing was the sword wound on his chest.

Hearing Weisite's words, Baixue's heart couldn't help but 'thump.'

'Could these two people be the two guards of mine who have been missing for a day and a night?!'

'How is it possible?'

'Ailisi clearly said they just went out to investigate... the Queen... the guards'... news?!'

'Could it be that those two discovered something and were therefore...'

Thinking of this, Baixue subconsciously looked up at the Queen.

The Queen's blood-red pupils locked onto Baixue, her gaze burning with raging anger, mixed with undisguised jealousy, as if she wanted to burn the beautiful girl in front of her to ashes.

The Queen's terrifying gaze made Baixue take half a step back unconsciously.

'She... she knows! What should I do?'

Just at this moment, a majestic voice broke in.

"Assassin? How could an assassin sneak into the Queen's bedchamber? Weisite, how are you protecting the Queen? This is a serious dereliction of duty!"

King Aotuo had arrived; the first thing he did was express strong dissatisfaction with the palace's protective power.

As the Queen's chief guard, Weisite immediately knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty! The two assassins were extraordinary in strength, and I failed to take them down on the spot; please punish me!"

Hearing Weisite's words, the King became curious.

"Two assassins? Weisite, did you fight the assassins? Very good, draw the faces of the assassins, and issue a nationwide wanted notice! I want to see who is so bold as to dare to order an assassin to run to the palace to attack my Queen!"

After speaking, the King seemed to have just discovered that the situation at the scene was a bit wrong; the loyal knight Weisite kneeling in front of him had a look of wanting to speak but not daring to, and his Queen was staring at his Princess with red eyes.

"My Queen, I only felt relieved after seeing you were fine; it seems the palace guards need to be increased again; these damn assassins must have been sent by the Gaodi Kingdom; they are retaliating for today's failure."

The Queen didn't appreciate it, shaking off the King's arm angrily and saying angrily.

"Increase guards again? Then the number of people coming to assassinate me might increase accordingly! Weisite, you just said that you have seen those two assassins, right? Have you remembered them now?"

The eyes of everyone present gathered on the royal guard kneeling on the ground; Weisite's face changed several times, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King! Your Majesty the Queen! I have remembered them; those two assassins are the latest guards following the Princess! Your Majesty the King, do you remember that you ordered the addition of five guard candidates each for the Queen and the Princess the day before yesterday?"

Weisite said, pointing his hand at Siwen, Aoruilian, and the five, and then pointed at Luka, Ailisi, and Pierre who followed Baixue in.

The eyes of everyone present looked at Luka and the three following Weisite's fingers.

That's right!

The Princess's guards are missing two!

No way, the Princess is so beautiful and kind, it's impossible!

There must be a conspiracy, someone must be framing the Princess.

Right, the Gaodi Kingdom, it must be those savages from the Gaodi Kingdom. They just weren't convinced that they lost to our great Rhine Kingdom today, so they did such a low-down thing to send an assassin to assassinate the Queen and frame the Princess.

The guards and maids present expressed disbelief one after another; Baixue had always been kind and gentle, how could she do such a thing as assassinating the Queen? It must be the Gaodi people's conspiracy to frame her.

But the young Princess had a difficult face; she didn't understand the principle of not showing her emotions, thinking that it was really her own guards who had caused this disaster without her knowledge.

Although Baixue was young, the Travelers behind her were old and cunning.

Originally, Luka was ready to reveal his Minotaur bloodline true form and take Baixue to kill his way out of the palace, but Ailisi beside him pulled him and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesties, please don't come to a conclusion yet; there is something fishy about this!"

Ailisi absolutely didn't believe that those two guys, Weituo and Salvatore, would run out in the middle of the night to assassinate the Queen; even if Weituo was an idiot who might have a brain cramp, Salvatore should have stopped him.

"The two companions of ours have only seen the Queen once and have no enmity with Her Majesty; how could they inexplicably assassinate Her Majesty. Furthermore, forgive me for being blunt, their strength cannot cause such great destruction in one blow."

Ailisi's words were indeed not wrong; although the destruction in the Queen's bedchamber wasn't deep, the range was large, and clearly, a Tier 4 【Demon Hunter】 and a Tier 4 【Gladiator】 couldn't cause such damage in one blow.

But, plot characters couldn't see entries, so naturally, they couldn't know the professions of Weituo and the two.

"Hmph! Shameless sophistry! Who knows where you came from? It's not impossible that you are spies sent by the Gaodi Kingdom to the Princess's side, or you are not spies, but just received some orders!"

Siwen said while digging his ear with his little finger very ungentle-like, and as soon as his words fell, Bald Hans beside him cleverly picked up the conversation.

"As far as I know, one of your companions is a senior 【Demon Hunter】, and 【Demon Hunters】 are all good at making Demon Hunter potions; I think this scene is very much like a masterpiece of some kind of explosive potion!"

In such a great situation, Siwen and Hans naturally didn't hesitate to splash dirty water on their enemies unscrupulously.

Regardless of whether this matter was done by them, framing them directly was never wrong.

"You... don't go too far; you know clearly that this matter wasn't done by us!"

Ailisi was very smart, but she couldn't beat two old rascals; Hans sneered.

"Not done by you? I think it was planned by you; otherwise, where did those two companions of yours go? Isn't protecting the lord the first priority for guards? After such a big disturbance, shouldn't the guards appear by the Princess's side in the first instance? Or is it... they received the Princess's order and went to do something else dangerous!"

"You..."

The two Traveler teams argued endlessly, which made King Aotuo's face look worse and worse.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

King Aotuo looked at the pitiful Princess beside him with an expression of disbelief.

"Baixue, tell your father, where did those two guards of yours go?" ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
