Chapter 376 The Fourth Dance

The fourth dance, Ode to Joy.

Cheerful, lively, and light, this is a world-famous song that can make people excited and forget themselves just by the melody.

People held hands and danced in circles on the dance floor, and the audience clapped and sang outside the dance floor, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

As soon as this dance is over, Her Royal Highness and His Excellency the Duke will appear.

At that time, the balcony door on the third floor of the castle will be opened, and the two will greet the guests on the high platform, and Her Royal Highness will thank all the participants on behalf of His Majesty the King.

Then the princess will walk out of the castle, walk into the crowd, and dance with the inviter

The fourth dance has begun, accompanied by light music, singing and laughter, and the circle of people in the dance floor has begun to turn.

The cheerful atmosphere made everyone put down their worries temporarily, and their faces were filled with smiles.

But in the joy, two people, one in front and one behind, strode quickly, rushed straight into the dance floor, passed through the circling crowd without any obstacles, and rushed all the way to the steps of the castle.

Lynch and Natalie.

The two were full of anxiety.

If Lynch's guess is correct, it means that someone can use this method to walk directly to Princess Sofia, and the high-level and middle-level soul-distracting people in the Duke's Mansion and the castle, as well as hundreds of fully armed governor's guards, have become useless.

This is simply an invitation.

Anyone can ignore any defense measures and stand in front of the princess. They can even take a selfie with the princess and those high-level strong men of nuclear bomb level. And as long as they get out of this state at this time, no one will have a chance to stop the princess from being killed.

If nothing unexpected happens, Her Royal Highness is now in a dead end. Lynch and Officer Natalie analyzed that the other party's plan is likely to be to assassinate the princess in the most violent way in front of everyone when the fourth dance ends and the princess speaks on the balcony on behalf of King Rudolf II, directly triggering the conflict between the nobles and the parliament.

The previous three attacks were just means of confusing the audience, and now it is the final move of the general.

It was almost an unsolvable dead chess game. If it was allowed to develop, no matter how strict the protection was, Princess Sophia would not be saved. She would definitely die.

But fate always leaves a glimmer of hope. The variables appeared and the trump card was seen.

Now only Lynch and Natalie can save Sophia's fate and prevent the intensification of the conflict.

The enemy is unknown, but the four exposed high-level ones are outside. It is very likely that there are one or some mid-level assassins here. And Lynch has not seen a new evil god for a long time, and his supreme will has not had time to recharge.

But as a man, some risks must be taken.

So, they came.

There was no one on the steps of the castle. Only four guards holding steam rifles stood there like javelins at the end of the steps, guarding the peace of the castle.

Four sharp eyes stared at the gate, and even blinked in turns, but right in front of them, two people rushed all the way and rushed directly to the stairs.

Lynch raised his foot and kicked violently at the door.

Then he went straight through the closed door, and Officer Natalie followed without hesitation and also went through the door.

The castle was magnificent, from the cashmere carpets of the ancient continent to the crystal lamps of the new world, the heavy background exuded an overwhelming nobleness.

But the two did not even take a look, they noticed another thing.

The state of the door to the other world changed, which meant that Lynch's guess was completely correct, and...

"Someone has come in."

The police officer nodded: "Be cautious and be careful."

"Understood."

With that, Lynch went into a lurking state, so Officer Natalie was the only one left in the castle door.

"Well... not so cautious." After glaring at the air, the policewoman drew her sword and walked quickly along the corridor without looking back, "Follow us, where are we going?"

Lin Qi's voice followed him like a shadow: "Go find the princess directly. No matter where the enemy is now, as long as we find the princess before him, we will be halfway to victory. But such a big castle has at least dozens of rooms. It's too troublesome to find them one by one. We must think of a way."

The policewoman kept walking, but immediately turned in another direction, and glanced at the source of the voice with a weird look: "Three hundred and seventeen rooms, and don't you know that the core security personnel have seen the castle defense map?"

As she said that, she kicked again, aiming at the door on the right side of the corridor.

The kick missed, and the door was still open.

The policewoman gritted her teeth and rolled in.

Two maids in black and white were walking in the corridor behind the door with trays, unaware of the movement behind them.

Officer Natalie passed by them directly, and at the same time, she heard the whirring sound behind her. It was Lynch swinging his cane, probably at the two maids but missed.

"Is it necessary?"

"To be safe, hit whoever you see, otherwise I can't tell who is fake, can you tell?"

"Shut up, I know, let's take a shortcut."

Before she finished speaking, Officer Natalie had already stopped and pressed the top of the bronze statue beside the corridor, and then her eyes changed.

"The trigger has been pressed, and the intruder has made perfect preparations, and is faster than us."

"Don't think too much, chase." Lynch's voice sounded from the wall next to the statue, and there was a slapping sound on the wall, "Where is the entrance?"

"Across the way, you touched the wrong way."

The designer is crazy.

Lin Qi didn't have time to complain, and followed Officer Natalie through the non-existent wall. Not far away on the opposite side was a spiral staircase. Through the small window above the staircase, the laughter and joy outside came in. It was like two worlds separated by a wall.

At the same time, there was also music. Ode to Joy was already halfway through and was gradually coming to an end.

The fourth dance was about to end.

"Hurry, third floor."

Not daring to waste a second, the two rushed straight to the third floor. Just halfway through the stairs, Lynch felt a will quickly sweeping past him.

A familiar will, it was one of the high-level guards of several parties.

He kept following the police officer, but Lynch desperately operated his soul to try to attract the attention of the guards. However, his attempt could not break the isolation between the two sides, and the patrolling will was unaware of the passing.

"Then we can only rely on ourselves."

Officer Natalie kicked again, but this time there was an unexpected collision sound.

The door was closed.

The enemy hasn't arrived yet? Have we caught up?

The two were delighted. Officer Natalie was the first to break into the room and rushed into the spacious and bright third-floor hall from the dark stairs.

At least a hundred people had gathered on the third floor, including the two people.

Viscount Moliere, Baron Bolvar, the princess's main guards, the accompanying personnel of the Governor's Mansion, and the servants of the mansion were busy preparing for the princess's speech.

The princess was also there, standing with the Duke at the end of the hall a few dozen meters away, in front of the glass door leading to the balcony. A bunch of servants were busy around the two big men, tidying up their clothes for the last time before the show started.

In time!

The two smiled at each other, but just as the joy rose, Lynch saw a person next to the door, smiling strangely in the direction of the two.

At this moment, Lynch's hair stood up and his pupils contracted.
