Chapter 180

"Are you kidding me? No one has ever seen her smile, right?!"

...

As a half-elf, Treya is actually more sensitive to sound than ordinary humans, and she still heard some of the comments behind her.

However, for Treya, who is "not very optimistic", she doesn't care about her own comments at all, and just ignores them; she will listen carefully to other people's comments as information.

"What Will said is indeed right."

As his father's health became worse, he called for two or three doctor consultations a few days ago, and only let the children of the current queen Anna serve him. Everyone may have smelled something bad.

The struggle between the royal family was fierce. In the early days, when His Majesty Edward went out to fight and could die suddenly on the battlefield at any time...

Several children have been scarred in the struggle to "prove themselves". The second prince died in the fight-it was a direct assassination, and it has not been found out who did it.

The eldest prince didn't know what had damaged his body, and now he is half dead and alive, just like his father.

After the third prince ran away from home, his whereabouts were unknown. Everyone even suspected that he had done it and had been killed by the followers of the other two.

As for the first three princesses, they were losers in the first place and chose to marry outside to fight for a little bit of rights for their brothers in the royal struggle.

——These are the stories Will told himself.

——It's ridiculous that as the ninth princess, she didn't know anything about her family affairs before, and had to let an outsider tell her in detail.

After entering the peaceful era, most of the remaining children have never experienced such a fierce struggle.

However...

They have done a lot of small fights that Eugenie had done before.

As Treya thought about this, she had unknowingly walked to the guard headquarters inside the palace.

The headquarters was built very grandly. The entire headquarters was about three stories high, covering an area of ​​200 to 300 square meters, and the exterior was also painted in shiny gold.

But...

At the entrance of the headquarters, only the bare flagpole remained. The guards were a branch of the Royal Knights, which was originally supervised by the Fourth Prince and assisted by the Sixth Prince.

The Fourth Prince, who was caught in the scandal of "rebellion", had his flag flying here to represent his power removed.

She pushed open the heavy door and walked in.

Creak--

At the moment the door was opened, the noisy headquarters that could be heard outside the door suddenly fell silent.

The action of drinking coffee stopped at the moment the coffee cup was put on the mouth.

The action of sorting out the information stopped at the moment the page was turned.

The action of signing the document stopped at the moment the pen touched the paper.

And what really stopped was the topic that everyone was "originally talking about".

Treya heard some words outside the door.

For example, the Fourth Prince originally had a confidential document, which detailed how he killed the Third Prince and sank his body to the bottom of the river after he left.

For example, the fourth prince actually gave concessions to the other side in private for his own military exploits in several battles, and transported a lot of money and treasures from the underground city.

For example, the seventh princess is impeached now because the truth cannot be hidden, and she helped her brother conceal it for many years.

...

The servants talk about the struggles of the royal family with relish, because only when talking about these things can they sigh that "the high and mighty royal family lives a darker life than them in private", to comfort themselves, and today's ten-meter-thick documents are nothing.

Treya walked a few steps inside in silence, and the high-heeled silver boots made a sound on the ground, and an inexplicable sense of oppression spread throughout the headquarters.

"Let me ask, have you done the missing person notice that I asked someone to do before?"

She stopped in the middle and asked loudly.

The tone was very flat, but the voice was particularly cold.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess - we have already carried out what you ordered, and posters should have been posted everywhere."

The admiral on duty here - in fact, he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, so he was pot-bellied and "slid" over the ground where people's shadows could be seen.

"Have you confirmed that the locations covered include all cities with underground cities?"

"Yes, yes. We have also posted posters in cities where underground cities have appeared."

"...Okay."

Trea looked around.

Everyone looked at her as if they were quite afraid of her.

It's really strange, she wasn't so fierce today.

"Your Highness, there are some things I don't know if I should say..."

"Say it. I'll listen to everything."

"If you really want to find someone as soon as possible, you might as well secretly draft a wanted order and then order the guards to bring the person to the palace when they see him. It will definitely be much faster than issuing a missing person notice like this."

Trea was silent for a while.

"This is your fiancé, Your Highness. Don't worry. We do this often. We have caught the useless consort of the Fifth Princess several times in various private places with slaves."

"It doesn't sound like a legal procedure. Do you use it often?"

"Oh! I dare not, I didn't say anything. It's just that the young masters of those merchants are said to be missing... Everyone understands."

In the eyes of outsiders...

The "missing notices" of the nine princesses may just be the helplessness of "the perverted young master of the System family didn't know where to go to live happily, so his fiancée princess anxiously posted missing person notices all over the country."

"Will is not such a person. A person who is said to be a couple adventurer in the newspaper and who blushes and avoids the camera. He will only appear near the dungeon...to complete his 'career'."

Treya stood up for Will very forcefully and walked to the table.

There are extra "Missing Person Notices" on the table.

She looked at Will on the missing person notice. Whether it was his brown hair or dark blue eyes, she had seen him many times.

However, she was still fascinated by it, and the corners of her mouth naturally turned up.

"But, I understand. Although there is no agreement, he may be the person who misses me the most in the world, and he is also the person who can understand this missing person notice."

Because Treya didn't expect her "relatives" to care about her much.

In Treya's heart, and in Will's heart...

This was Treya's "sign for help," a photo posted on missing person notices all over the country, and a signature from Treya that did not reveal any information.

"So, this is a trap."

After putting down the "Missing Person Notice", Treya's smile faded.

She believed that Will would come to help her without hesitation the moment he saw it.

Will come back to her with my own thoughts.

Just like that night, he reached out to himself in the darkness.

That was what Treya wanted, the "color" in her eyes.

Chapter 205 He thinks he can do it again

"Thinking about it this way, this 'missing person notice' does have some doubts."

Shona touched her chin.

"Yes, first of all, the missing person notice is not a wanted notice. Even those who see it can only provide clues. They cannot tie me up and throw me directly in front of Treya."

"Well, and if she really wants to arrest someone, why not use the 'guards' that are everywhere on the street?"

"In the end, you will find that... the missing person notice provides too little information. If the dog is lost, it will write down where it went missing and what clothes it was wearing when it was lost. But here, only my photo is left. "

To sum up, the role of this missing person notice is subtle.

In other words, posting this missing person notice does not seem to be consistent with the conjecture that "Treya wants to capture him as soon as possible."

but……

It becomes clear when you think about it——

They had just come out of the dungeon, and they had indeed been "missing" a day ago.

Treya definitely didn't know that he had met the "blackened" Leia. She did this based on this premise.

so……

"This is a 'missing person notice' that is only for me to see..."

To tell him that "Treya" is looking for him.

Find him at the "Palace".

Even if the "matter is urgent" and requires the use of guards, no other information can be written to him.

"She thinks that when I see this missing person notice, I will think that she is in trouble in the palace and asks me for help. So, I will definitely come to her."

Because Will had already encountered the blackened Leah in advance, his mind turned 360°.

What a coincidence...

This missing person notice, which was one level lower than the "Wanted Notice", was a mandatory level, and it was very consistent with the behavior of Treya that he had personally taught.

He knew very well——

That innocent half-elf princess, that princess who neither knows what she wants nor what she lacks, that princess who can’t express her emotions...

What would it look like if it turned black?

What will she do?

Like Leia, she will use the witch's Kit Kat technology at her disposal to make herself "feel the same."

But Treya...

After learning about the dark side of the royal family and his own family, understanding what he wanted to do, and finally learning how to express his feelings——

Like her brothers and sisters, she will hide her true "purpose."

Chase your "desires" crazily and passionately.

Therefore, I long for others to discover my emotions.

Use a cold appearance to disguise your emotions, use a cold expression to hide your turbulent mood, use "accidental" plans to get what you want, and use the most obscure method to express your attachment.

so……

This "Missing Person Notice", whose meaning only Will understands, is the most obscure "show of weakness" and "confession" that only she and Will can understand.

She filled cities across the country with missing persons notices.

Incorporating her own little thoughts, she allowed only one person to understand her.

Still like a hunter, waiting for the only person to take the bait.

Compared with the result, the "trap" in the middle is what controls Will's heart, what really makes him take the initiative, and it is the "trap" that makes the Will she wants arrive in front of her...

It was even more what she wanted.

"Based on my analysis, no... based on my teachings, she is indeed such a person."

"Interesting. This is the first time I know that the half-elf Ninth Princess actually has such a side."

Shona showed a rare "appreciative" expression.

A princess who serves as a "missing person" in a trap has a domineering attitude that belongs only to the royal family.

but……

This "trap" takes advantage of Treya's "weakness" in front of Will. Only when she appears weak enough will Will look back.

A domineering but fragile princess?

This sounds so fun too.
