Chapter 163 163. Investigation Results
Blanche was invited in by Tom.
This was the first time in her life that she had walked into the bedroom of a person of the opposite sex of the same age. Compared with ordinary noble bedrooms, Roning's bedroom did not seem to be very luxurious. There were no valuable carvings and calligraphy and paintings, nor rare collections. It was ordinary and simple.
In fact, what she did not know was that many things in the room were packed up and taken to Shanlin Town by Roning.
"Roning, how do you feel now?" Blanche sat on the bed and asked with concern.
In the two hours after returning to Wushan Fort, she could not calm down. As long as she closed her eyes, her mind would emerge with the experience of the assassination, and she thought of the scene of being held by Roning to kill the two assassins.
Even drinking a bowl of soothing soup did not work. In desperation, Blanche had to visit Roning under the pretext of "sending soothing soup to Roning".
"I'm fine."
Roning leaned against the bed and smiled, "I just hurt my spirit when using the sixth-level spell scroll. You don't have to worry too much."
Thinking of the current situation facing Wushan Fort, Roning pondered for a moment, and then said, "Blanche, there is one thing I need your help with."
Blanche's eyes lit up, and it seemed that after hearing this, she felt much better.
"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely do my best."
Ronin thanked him, and then said: "Your experience this time is due to my Wushan Castle's poor protection. Count Jesus and Sir Broll are understandably angry with us, but now we should focus on investigating the identity of the assassin. Others..."
"I understand!"
Blanche interrupted Ronin, "This assassination has nothing to do with Wushan Castle. On the contrary, it was your desperate rescue that saved me from danger. The Alduin family will not let go of any enemy, but will not wrongly accuse any meritorious minister."
She paused and smiled, "You have a good rest. I will go to Uncle Jesus and Broll and let them not embarrass Wushan Castle because of my experience."
Blanche is the princess of the kingdom after all. Even if Ronin's words are euphemistic, they are enough for her to understand.
Although Ronin and the other party have been together for less than a day, he can feel that the princess's personality is still relatively gentle, and he has not yet discovered any special hobbies of the other party.
Overall, Ronin felt pretty good.
At the same time, he also felt that the other party should have a very good impression of him, otherwise he would not be so active to visit him and be willing to come forward to resolve the embarrassing situation of Wushan Fort.
If it was on Earth, if both parties were so satisfied with the blind date, this matter would definitely be successful.
But in this world, before His Majesty Bruno officially announced it, there are still many uncertainties in the middle.
"Tom." Ronin called out.
"My lord, what do you want?"
Ronin said: "When McKen comes back, let him come to me directly. For others, just say that I am unwell and have a rest. If there is nothing important, we can talk later."
"As you wish, my lord!"
McKen was a witness to the assassination and also assisted Knight Missy in repelling the assassin. Naturally, he had to cooperate with Sir Toru in the investigation.
Ronin also hoped that McKen could convey the results of the investigation to him as soon as possible.
...
At the same time, Wushan Fortress had become a mess.
On one side was the royal escort team led by Jesus and Brower, and on the other side was Wushan Fort led by Wiggins, Orson, and Marvin.
There was only one topic of argument -
Jesus felt that the assassination was too carefully planned, and the nobles of Wushan Territory were definitely involved. They asked Wushan Fort to investigate all the vassal nobles, catch the mastermind behind the scenes, and give Princess Blanche a satisfactory explanation.
Wiggins said that he would find out the murderer and give an explanation, but this assassination was definitely not related to the nobles of Wushan Territory, and it was completely unreasonable to investigate all the nobles.
"Hua La~"
The door of Wushan Fortress was pushed open, and Rulans walked in with a cane, making the noisy hall quiet immediately.
"Sir Broll, we have heard your request clearly in Wushan Castle."
Rulans walked slowly to Wiggins' side and stood, facing the deputy leader of the Griffin Knights, "The First Knights of Wushan Castle are now investigating everyone in the Colosseum and all the audience today. I believe there will be results soon."
"Those assassins challenged the dignity of the royal family. Our Wushan family is a vassal of Alduin and will never allow such a thing to happen."
Bror saluted Rulans with a knight's salute, "My Lord Marquis, I naturally believe in your loyalty, but Princess Blanche has just arrived at Wushan Castle, and such a meticulous assassination has occurred right after. If this matter did not have the cooperation of the nobles of Wushan City, it is hard to believe how it was planned and organized."
Rulans shook his head, "I only revealed the news that Blanche would come yesterday afternoon. Do you think I would arrange someone to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"This..."
Bror was speechless for a moment. It was Rulans who brought up the matter of marriage, and the other party naturally had no reason to do such a thing.
"That's not necessarily true."
At this time, a very unfriendly voice sounded, "Lulansi, you have been hiding in Wushanbao for so many years, who knows what you are thinking in your heart?"
"Jesus, don't go too far!"
"Jesus, watch your mouth!"
The vassals of the Wushan family were angry and began to curse.
They were vassals of Lulans, so they would not allow Zhu Jun to be questioned and insulted like this. Even if the other party's surname was Alduin, he was not their lord.
Lulans laughed. This scene was a bit like thirty years ago. At that time, his vassals were basically absolutely loyal. Now, who knows how many of them are just talking nonsense.
"Jesus, long time no see, your mouth is still so vicious."
Lulansi asked: "Then I want to ask you, when did you know that Blanche would come to Wushanbao?"
"Me?"
Jesus sneered, "I am a member of the royal family, and I must have known about this earlier than you guys..."
At this point, Jesus' face changed, and he said angrily: "Rulansi, what do you mean by this? Will I arrange someone to assassinate my niece?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Rulansi said lightly while slowly ascending his main seat, "It's not uncommon in history for uncles to assassinate nieces and younger brothers to assassinate older brothers."
"You're looking for death!"
Jesus narrowed his eyes and punched out, and the fighting spirit formed a huge fist shadow with full power to hit Rulansi who was sitting on top.
This man's strength is not strong, but he has reached the bronze level.
Although this blow was done with bare hands, it is not something that ordinary people can take.
Rulansi snorted, raised his cane suddenly and stabbed it on the floor.
In an instant, a fierce power was released from him. When the fist shadow was about to hit him, a red barrier appeared in front of Lu Lan Si.
With a bang, the fist shadow hit the barrier and it was blown into pieces.
The aftermath of the impact turned into a whirlwind that stirred in the fortress hall!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Many figures rushed out at the same time and blocked Lu Lan Si, including Viscount Marvin, Sir Capel, Baron Gellman, Viscount Dennis, and even Count Orson and Baron Leisen.
For a while, the hall was tense.
"You don't have to be like this."
A crisp voice came from the entrance, and it was Princess Blanche who came with Missy.
