Chapter 454

It was rather a kind of shame and annoyance. After all, in their traditional concepts, the experience of elders is valuable, and it is wrong for the younger generation not to listen to the elders.

But the reality was in front of Louis, as if Louis was wrong.

If he had not provided her with education and work experience, she would never have been able to stand in front of him like today.

"President Chelinina." The fact that these two people did not talk did not mean that others would not find trouble with these two people.

At this time, the president of a small chamber of commerce came to Chelinina.

"I am the president of the chamber of commerce of the Duke of Lucia. Our Lucia region has always been bitterly cold, and warm clothing is the most scarce material in our area. Do you think... should we discuss a deal now..."

"Well..." Chelinina thought for a while, then nodded.

At this time, a waiter ran in from outside the door.

"Sorry, Miss Chelinina, someone claiming to be your subordinate came to report outside the door just now, saying that..." The waiter whispered a few words in Chelinina's ear, and the latter looked at him in shock.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Your subordinate told me. I can't tell the truth from the false. Sorry."

Others obviously noticed that Cherylina was flustered. Just as they were about to ask something, Cherylina stood up and walked out of the hotel.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce who was left alone by Cherylina was also stunned.

"What is going on?"

It is hard not to think of other things when someone suddenly left without saying hello at such an important meeting.

Chapter 91: Concern leads to confusion

"Your Highness, His Majesty has agreed to let Prince Orson stay in your bedroom temporarily."

At this time, the guard Elsa sent to find Odysseus to report the news also came back, and he respectfully brought back Odysseus's reply.

Elsa nodded with satisfaction.

"I see, you can leave first, and by the way, let someone clean up a room for Prince Orson to live in, otherwise I will have no place to live."

"Yes, sir." The guard nodded after hearing this.

"Okay." Elsa said, turning her head to look at Orson, "Guess when she will come?"

"It shouldn't be long, if she knows the news."

Orson replied casually while sitting on the bed reading a book.

A few minutes later, a maid came in.

"Your Highness, Olivia is asking for an audience at the door of the palace."

"Since His Majesty has let her in, why should he stop her?" Elsa said, raising her eyebrows and looking at the maid. "Besides, she is the fiancée of Mr. Orson. Do you still need to ask me for an answer on such a matter?"

"Sorry, Your Highness, I neglected it." The maid bowed her head and apologized, then trotted out.

Half a minute later, a hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

The door was pushed open.

Olivia appeared in front of Orson. She was only wearing a coat, and her clothes were still home clothes. It seemed that she rushed here as soon as she heard the news that Orson had woken up, and she didn't even change into clothes that could meet the emperor.

She glanced around the room, and then immediately saw Orson lying on the bed reading a book.

At this moment, Orson had put down the book and turned his head to look at Olivia.

"Olivia, you are here?"

Olivia didn't say anything, walked straight to the bed, squatted down, and looked at Orson distressedly.

"Orson, I heard that you were attacked during the investigation, right..."

"Yeah." Orson nodded, and then smiled.

"It's okay, Olivia, you see I'm fine now, right?"

As if to reassure Olivia, Orson patted his chest.

"Now I just need to rest. It's a good time to rest for a while. No one here will threaten my life."

"Well, that's the best." Olivia was relieved to see that Orson was fine.

But she was still scared.

I heard that someone else passed by and saved Orson. If that person didn't pass by at that time, would Orson have died on the spot?

Olivia didn't dare to think about it. If Orson disappeared, she would definitely not be rational.

In this way, she could understand why the Duke of Orleans repeatedly questioned the investigation of the royal family.

"Promise me that you won't do such risky things in the future, okay?"

Olivia adjusted her mood and then spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Olivia suddenly closed her eyes and moved her head towards Orson's face.

Just as the two were about to get close to each other, a crisp cough sounded from the side.

"Ahem."

At this time, the two realized that they were in Elsa's room, and it was not good for them to do this.

"Anyway, Olivia, you can see now that Orson is fine, can you rest assured?"

"Well, thank you, Princess, for your rescue." Olivia said a polite word.

However, after being interrupted by Elsa, the originally charming atmosphere between the two disappeared. After chatting for a while, Olivia finally went back first.

...

On the other side, in the Imperial Academy.

If there is any safe place in Saint Laurent City besides the palace? Then the Imperial College is definitely on the list.

Let alone the ability of the Imperial College tutors, the security guards alone can give ordinary enemies a hard time.

At this moment, next to Orson's dormitory, Lena's dormitory.

In the middle of the night, Lena rushed out of the woods next to her, and then walked towards her room lightly.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Lena felt something was wrong, and then, as expected, she was lifted up by the back of her neck by a pair of hands.

"Hey! Let me go, I'll beat you up when I get angry!" Lena said with her teeth bared.

"Then tell me what you did all day today." The cold voice of Li Anka came from behind.

"Orson entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you, but you ran away. How can I explain this to Orson?"

"I... I have something to do!" Lena said, struggling a few times to break free from Lianka, then turned around and looked at her.

"Besides, I have already asked for leave from the teacher, and the leave note has been approved for me. Can't I go out yet?"

"But it's very dangerous outside now." Lianka said hurriedly. "Although you are very powerful, you don't have much combat experience after all."

"Then I'm fine now..." Lena muttered softly.

"Hmm?"

"No, no, I mean, thank you sister Lianka for your concern, I will definitely inform you of my itinerary next time."

"Hmm." Lianka nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll go back first, you should rest early, you still have classes tomorrow."

Although the order in Saint Laurent City has become chaotic, the Imperial College still maintains normal teaching order, which is very valuable.

"Okay~ Then I'll take a rest first~" Lena said, yawned, and then walked upstairs.

Lianka looked at Lena's back and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and saw the shoes Lena changed after entering the door.

There was a lot of mud on the heels of a pair of brown boots.

"Strange, is Lena going on an outing?" Lianka said to herself in confusion, and then left here.

...

On the other side, Chelinina returned to her office.

She went to the palace, but was stopped directly because she was not a noble.

It would take a while for Chelinina to apply for permission to enter the palace from the emperor, and it would be useless for her to stand there anxiously, so she returned to her Chamber of Commerce office first.

"Lorenzo, please contact all the mercenary groups that can be contacted, and search the forest outside the city to see if you can find the trace of the person who injured Orson."

"Excuse me, President." Lorenzo stepped forward to stop Cherylina at this time. "As the saying goes, worrying makes you confused. Since Mr. Orson is fine now, we don't have to be so anxious. The most urgent thing should be to take care of our own affairs. President, you should hurry back to attend the business conference. I will help you deal with these."

"...No, Lorenzo, I want to handle this matter myself." Cherylina said this and rejected Lorenzo's proposal. "Anyway, please help me contact the mercenary group. Even if they are useless here, Orson will always be able to use them."

Chapter 92: Key clues

"It's very strange. The other party has obviously fought with Mr. Orson, but apart from the traces of fighting at the scene, there are no traces of enemy activities around." Late at night, after the search team outside the city came back, they gave the investigation report of the surrounding situation of Orson's attack to the high-level knight Owen. As an eighth-level knight, he is also the chief of the public security of Saint Laurent City.

Of course, he was promoted not long ago. Because of the assassination of the Duke, the former chief sheriff Langdon had been dismissed for investigation. Owen was ordered to strengthen the public security of Saint Laurent City in accordance with the order of the royal family.

But what happened afterwards continued to hit Owen's confidence. Not only did the investigation of the case not make progress, but there were still nobles assassinated in Saint Laurent City. Although the assassination site was outside the city and Orson took the initiative to chase them out, the reason was that the sheriff failed to do his duty and let suspicious people enter Saint Laurent City.

But this matter is not something that ordinary sheriffs can handle after all.

Although these sheriffs are generally above level 5 in strength and have a group of guards under their command, they are enough to guard the city's security on weekdays, but the strength of the enemy this time has not yet been ascertained. According to intelligence analysis, it is at least level 8.

How can others prevent such an enemy from sneaking into the city without being noticed by the sheriffs?

Although Owen is quite powerful, he does not have a clone, so it is impossible for every city gate to be there all the time.

Not to mention that others can climb over the wall or take the underground tunnel.

In this case, only the magician's detection barrier can work. This magic can set up a barrier in a designated area, and the magician will be sensed when passing through the barrier.

But Saint Laurent City is too big. If a magician who can release magic with a range large enough to cover the entire Saint Laurent City can be found, then the other party will definitely be able to easily find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, unless the economic activities in Saint Laurent City are completely stopped, all people are prohibited from entering and leaving, and the suspects who try to sneak in and out of the city are arrested, it is possible to restrict the other party's activities.

"Sorry..." The guard who delivered the information lowered his head.

"But our information on the scene is very limited. Even if we call the magician, they only said that only Master Orson used magic during the battle, and there is no way to locate the opponent's trace through the use of magic."

"Okay then." Owen nodded. "Then there is no other way. I can only look for witnesses."

As he said this, Owen left the office and came to the temporary room in the General Security Office for people who are inconvenient to leave.

Owen stood in front of the door and straightened his collar, then knocked on the door gently.

This door is not soundproof, and Owen soon heard footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened from the inside.

"Miss Sherlock, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Owen first apologized politely, and then explained his purpose.

"Do you have any specific evidence about the suspect who returned to the Orchid Tavern today?"

Sherlock looked at Owen and shook his head.

"No, didn't I tell you that? The man was wearing all black. I was following Orson at the time, and before I could even look at him, he jumped out of the window and left. Then Orson followed him out."

"Wait a minute, repeat it." Owen finally reacted at this time.

"Uh..." Sherlock looked at Owen's reaction, and although he was a little confused, he still repeated it.

"You just said... the other party jumped out of the window, right?"

"Yeah." Sherlock nodded.

"According to the report from the magician, there was no trace of the other party using magic at the scene where Mr. Orson was attacked. In connection with the other party's experience of jumping out of the window to escape, then, Miss Sherlock, as a detective, can you deduce anything?"

"Wait! What did you just say? Orson was attacked? He...he was also killed?" Sherlock asked in disbelief.

She thought Orson would not encounter any problems chasing him out during the day, but at night she was told that Orson was also dead?

Then she was a little blessed.

Owen looked at Sherlock's surprised reaction, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

"No, Master Orson was just injured. If he had been killed, it would not be me standing here talking to you, but someone else."

"Anyway, continuing with the topic just now, what can you infer?"
