Darkness, loss of vision, and very quiet surroundings.

Yu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if someone would really come looking for him, or it was just Howard's words.

At this time, Lin Ling just came back.

"How about you, have you found that person's identity?"

Yu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I should have exiled Howard from the royal city the first time I discovered that he had stolen my things!"

Hearing this, Lin Ling was silent for a while, and almost didn't come up in one breath, "Why are you so sure it's Howard?"

"This pervert, stealing my things is the first step of his perversion." Yu Yuan was full of anger, "Wait, as soon as I go out, I can identify him by the wound on my hand!"

At this time, even Lin Ling didn't know whether he should say that Yu Yuan's customs clearance was fast, or that his thoughts had slipped, so he could only say silently: "...Then wish you good luck."

How can he look at people with such a deep filter, he can't take off the filter to look at people!

"Wait a minute, what's the matter with my current disguise?" Yu Yuan suddenly realized that he had changed back to his original gender. If the ministers and nobles knew about this, I'm afraid that he would not really be a wizard who was executed.

"Uh, what should I say," Lin Ling can see Yu Yuan's current character data. Originally, his shape modeling should be of an adult male body. After entering this copy, the disguise is a relatively tall adult female, but who knows who is It's not because of the problem of the healing potion of unknown origin. Now it happens to be stuck between the two. The appearance has not changed, but the real gender can be distinguished by the lift of the skirt.

To put it bluntly, he is now a real women's clothing boss.

"Your state is indeed a bit delicate, it should be a data issue, after all, it's still in the internal testing stage... Otherwise, my friend," Lin Ling suggested: "Come on, there's not much left in the game. , you continue to pretend to be a queen until you clear the customs, don't lift your skirt and no one can see it, I will open another account for you later, you will be able to use it for the test copy in the future, alright."

"..." Yu Yuan was very suspicious of what this "hanging" was. After all, it couldn't destroy the balance of the game. The so-called "hanging" was probably just a decoration, but there was nothing he could do, "How much is left in the plot?"

"[The King Stage 2] is almost over. The little prince's ascension to the throne is very stable. Stage 3 is the final battle. As long as you don't go wrong, you will basically win."

"I kicked Howard out and it didn't matter much, can I just kill him in secret?" Yu Yuan asked coldly.

Until now, he still vaguely felt that there was a faint, lingering smell in the air, and there seemed to be mucus-like threads hanging from his feet, but in fact, before the pervert left, he said, "I'm sorry for accidentally messing with you. Because of "dirty", he kissed and rubbed the top of his foot and the toe again, and the sole of his foot was rubbing against the person's knee. When he thought of that scene, his scalp felt numb.

He felt like something like Japanese natto, sticky, and there was something wrong with spider silk all over his body.

Damn Howard must not be allowed to live to see tomorrow's sunrise.

"Well, listen to me, it's better to act calmly..." Lin Ling didn't know how much to remind, so he could only be as subtle as possible, "Would you like to wait for the little prince to take the throne?"

Yu Yuan sneered, "It can be said in the game that a lunatic who pushes too hard must die!"

"Brother Cat, really calm down." Lin Ling wiped away his cold sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe less than half an hour, there was a commotion outside the door. Yu Yuan vaguely heard the voice calling for the queen, but before he could answer, he heard someone picking the door lock again. Soon, the door opened.

Thanks to Howard's last conscience before he left, he put on a cape after tidying up the skirt, but the legs under the skirt were completely covered. But what he didn't even know was that if he accidentally exposed it to the left and right of his knees, someone might catch a glimpse of the light reflected by the transparent liquid.

"Your Highness the Queen—"

"Your Highness, how are you?"

"Everyone is waiting outside, don't come in first!"

After a commotion, only two people were left to walk in front of the queen, and Yu Yuan could naturally hear that it was Howard and the crown prince.

You committed the crime yourself, but the thief shouted to catch the thief, come here and pretend to be a good person, shameless!

"His Royal Highness, I'll help you up first, don't move for the time being." Howard was about to help the queen up with the crown prince.

However, he heard the queen sullenly say, "Get out of here."

"His Royal Highness?" Howard couldn't help but be a little surprised, the crown prince put his hand on his shoulder and patted it, "I'll come."

Durand lowered his voice and reminded: "His Royal Highness should be frightened."

Durand reached behind the queen's head and carefully removed the black cloth covering his eyes for him. In order to prevent the bound person from seeing the outside world at all, the black silk cloth was tightly tied, and the knot part was almost mixed with the color of the black hair.

Howard's face was full of worry, but he could only step aside temporarily, watching the crown prince slowly lift the queen up and lean against the soft wall. However, he faintly smelled something here.

A very faint smell, like some kind of flower smell, Howard is sure he smelled it, somewhere, maybe he was on duty patrolling the Wangcheng on a certain night, and he chased the prisoner so deeply that he came to a certain place... ...

Flow, warbler.

The moment the word flashed in his mind, Howard's face was almost white. How could he dare to think so, associating the queen with such an unspeakable word, even for a second, he was also making a mistake , keep making mistakes.

He didn't even dare to think deeply. It was the first time that the heroic chief of the Knights had a feeling of cowardice. He couldn't help but glance at the queen's pitiful half-face. , the loose hair, the dress that is still full of folds despite being carefully trimmed, and the white toes that are exposed under the skirt like a flower stamen after the rain.

No noble lady would appear in front of people with a pair of legs hidden in a skirt.

He could hardly think, he could no longer think, what happened in the two or three hours he neglected his duty as the head of the knights to make Her Highness the Queen look like this, he committed a serious crime that could kill him, he did not Protect His Highness the Queen.

And now facing such a scene, he is even delusional, revealing inferior desires...

Howard was only a short distance away, wanting to get down on his knees in front of the Queen's Highness, for his fault enough to be decapitated.

what did he do.

Without protecting the safety of Her Royal Highness, how dare you have such thoughts at this time.

What's the difference between him and those dirty, criminal rats, he's only doing things to hurt the queen.

He be damned.

It was the queen's voice that brought him back to his senses.

"Howard."

The moment Yu Yuan opened his eyes to adjust to the light, what he saw was Durand half-kneeling in front of him, while Howard was standing beside the wall with a look of astonishment and various complex expressions.

Incomprehensible expressions, only perverts can do this.

"Howard," the queen called again, as if to bite the name into her mouth and ooze blood, while the crown prince walked meekly behind him and said softly in a voice only two people could hear: "Edie Si, let me untie the rope for you."

Yu Yuan focused all his attention on this damned Knight Commander, and now seeing "80% loyalty" was as disgusting as seeing a dog that bit its master back.

Her Royal Highness the Queen, even if she is **** like this, with a sharp red at the end of her eyes, is still imposing, like a flower in full bloom.

Howard lowered his head and looked like someone who fell into the water. He knelt down on one knee in front of the Queen's Highness with a knightly salute. He lost the courage to even look directly, and his heart was full of extreme remorse. to danger.

"It was my fault, please punish Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Paralyzed, capable of acting, pretending to be a loyal dog in front of a person, then immediately mad dog, why not directly become a second personality of schizophrenia? !

Thinking of this madman's beastly behavior, Yu Yuan almost lost his quality and spit slobber on his face, he resisted his anger and asked, "You still know these disgusting things you did, do you know you're wrong?!"

Howard seemed more and more guilty. He could understand where the queen's anger came from. He arranged everything from the guards of the knights to the carriages and knights of the palace, and he had done some guilty deeds before, which made him completely embarrassed now.

Even in this scene, he couldn't help but make mistakes, looking at the queen's anger and gorgeous appearance with dry mouth...

"Your Highness the Queen, you can do whatever you want with me." His head dropped even lower.

The rope on her wrist was untied, and the queen who had just been able to move didn't even care about the rope on her feet. She immediately grabbed Howard's right hand and said angrily, "You think I can't recognize without evidence..."

He didn't finish speaking.

I saw that on the right hand of a knight who had always used a sword, there were no other scars except for the old sword cocoon marks.

This time, the unbelievable was replaced by Yu Yuan.

He was extremely sure that the bite he had used before had used a full ten force, and he even tasted a little **** smell. Even if his teeth were only pierced in a small place, other tooth marks would disappear in just half an hour. No matter how small the bleeding wound is, it is absolutely impossible to go away.

"Your Highness the Queen?" Howard was also a little surprised.

The queen grabbed his hand like this, as if she was looking for something, her slender fingers slid across every inch of the skin on his palm, bringing a faint itch.

"Impossible..." Yu Yuan couldn't help muttering.

The wound must exist, and he is not inclined to have any medicine to repair the wound in such a short period of time. Even if the red medicine used by the player is the fastest in the game to heal the wound, it is impossible for the NPC to hold this kind of thing.

He quickly ruled out other possibilities, and the only explanation left was one.

- Could it be, not Howard?

At this time, Durand, who had been working in obscurity, untied the rope on his ankle, but his eyes kept staring at the slightly reddish soles of his feet, the pink color, as if a rosy glow was dizzy at sunset.

He said softly, "Edith, I'll take you out first."

Naturally, he couldn't go outside with bare feet. The crown prince picked him up and made him lean against his arms, while Yu Yuan was too surprised by the change just now, so he didn't react, and naturally ignored some details.

Sometimes, when something exists in front of the eyes for too long, it may not disappear once, but it will not be noticed. For example, Fernando has always been accustomed to wearing ruby ​​earrings, which is naturally regarded as normal, and some people have been I was used to wearing white gloves from the beginning, and I rarely took them off. If I wear them all the time, they may be selectively ignored.

Howard quickly screened the knights outside, and while Durand carried the person out, he said, "Edith, if you are tired, you can sleep for a while, and you will go to the palace when you wake up."

How could he be sleepy.

He was so sure that he was even about to point out his identity directly in front of the previous kidnapper, Howard, and most likely it would only be Howard.

But if not, who else could it be...

Leaning in the arms of the little prince, Yu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Durand, how did you find me?"

He had to completely rule out Howard to really believe it.

"Edith." Durand was a little helpless, not wanting to say anything, and coaxed softly, "Perhaps it would be better for you to forget what happened today."

"How did you find it?" Yu Yuan repeated again.

He was carried out of the room by Durand, only to discover that this was the most expensive exotic hotel in the city, just as the room was filled with soft cushions, blankets, veils, etc., in Yu Yuan's perception, this kind of The form is more similar to the Western style, like Eugene's.

But the most important thing is not this. Although he was half-covered by Durand, as if he was afraid that he would be frightened, he could still see the movement of the outside world. Outside the corridor, connected with rows of stone pillars, is a huge garden. You can't see the end at a glance. In the middle of the garden is a fountain with a tall goddess statue. The stone pot in the goddess' hands keeps spraying water, and the moonlight shines down at night. The sparkling pool was planted with aquatic plants, and all the maids in exotic costumes came and went, and their clothes were more revealing than usual. There were even young men dressed like this, holding jugs and bottles, while they followed. , of course the guests.

It is too grand and magnificent, like the decoration of a palace, the embarrassed and evasive appearance of the "guests" when the knights of the Knights stood on both sides to clear the way, and the intoxicating fragrance, the extravagant sound wafting from afar, everything. It all shows a fact - it is not just a "hotel" as simple as that.

A dignified queen was actually hidden in such a place by a kidnapper like this.

In a sense, maybe this is the only place that is not a place that the Knights will prioritize searching for in every sense.

However, with the kidnapper's previous attitude, Yu Yuan reasonably suspected that this lunatic was trying to humiliate the queen's identity.

Itchy to the point of teeth.

Although he didn't care about it as a player, he still twisted twice in Durand's arms to adjust his position. Looking down from the top, he realized that Durand's face was not wearing anything at all, and others could recognize it at a glance. he.

Durand thought he was panicking, so he comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, no one will recognize you, the 'Queen' has been staying well in the palace."

No one would know that such a thing happened to the noble queen. Even if there were rumors that the carriage of the Knights was attacked, it was late at night, and no one saw who was sitting in the carriage, and whether there was anyone missing.

Yu Yuan felt that his heart was bleeding. In various senses, on the one hand, he was angry that the lunatic might not be Howard, and he had to keep looking for it. On the other hand, the little prince he had raised for so long came here. This kind of place, and it will be recognized by some nobles who do not know, tomorrow's rumors will have to spread!

You must know that even if he has danced for a long time, Durand is still almost nineteen years old. It is not clear that he took a person from such a place. This is obviously his own initiative to provide the outside world with fabricated materials. However, this time Fernando is as deliberate as he did before, which is a fatal blow to the status of the crown prince.

The road leading from the innermost room to the place where the carriages were parked on the outskirts of the place seemed to be the longest road Yu Yuan had traveled in his life.

"You shouldn't just come here, you obviously have other methods, and I'm not in much danger." Yu Yuan finally couldn't help but accuse him. With Durand's ability, he could do more calmly about saving her. , or only let Howard and the Knights come, as the crown prince, there is no need to do this.

He hoped that the little prince would go well on this road.

"But it's the fastest way, Edith, I'm very worried about you." Durand's eyes were still as gentle as the moonlight, "It's also my dereliction of duty when you encounter such a thing."

Under the eyes of countless people who were surprised at why the Crown Prince appeared here, or who were suspicious of who he was holding in his arms, they finally walked out of the garden, bypassed the front hall and went directly to a small door, where a carriage was waiting.

Howard helped to open the car door, waited for the crown prince to carry the person in and hesitated for a while, but did not follow, but went to the driver's seat in front and sat with another knight in charge of driving, while some knights from the rest of the knights lined up to follow. behind.

With a gloomy face, Howard instructed a knight commander who was standing beside him waiting for instructions: "You take half of the people away and continue to trace the whereabouts of the kidnapper. He should also be the murderer of the serial murder case. Let everyone be careful."

"Find it as soon as possible. If you can find it, don't hand it over first. Keep it in the knights and wait for me to deal with it."

What he said was clear enough, it meant that he wanted to lynch when he had the chance, and the knight commander nodded clearly, and quickly ran to the back to take some people away.

Howard turned his head and instructed the person next to him: "Slow down a little bit, and avoid the uneven road."

The carriage began to move slowly.

In the carriage, the crown prince has placed the queen on the soft chair very carefully, for fear that his feet will accidentally land on the ground, and he will sit on the other side.

Yu Yuan: "Durand."

"Ok?"

"If I said, I already suspected who the kidnapper was, you would definitely believe it, right." Yu Yuan said calmly: "I only have one question, how did you find this place?"

Durand seemed to be avoiding this question all the time, perhaps because he was afraid that the queen would recall some bad memory, but seeing him so insistent, he could only say: "Someone left a piece of paper at the gate of the Knights, saying you are here. Information."

Yu Yuan naturally didn't believe that this was the reason why he dragged on for a long time, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Durand was silent again, and then said: "It also has one of your earrings stuck on it, and... there is a little lipstick mark."

Yu Yuan knew with his feet that the lipstick mark was rubbed on by the perverted kidnapper while he passed out, and the earring was indeed missing the right ear, and now it was empty.

He asked again: "Who received the note first, was Howard in the Knights from the beginning or?"

"There was a kid on the street who said that someone gave him a gold coin to send him here at the time. He said he couldn't see his appearance. I happened to be not far from the Knights at the time, so I passed by immediately." Durand Explained: "Captain Howard led a team to search for your whereabouts in the city before, and each went his own way. He should have come back after receiving the news."

In addition to the problem of no tooth mark wound, Howard's suspicion is still not cleared.

But if it wasn't him, could it be Fernando?

"Edith, don't be afraid." Durand put a hand on Yu Yuan's hand and said warmly, "No one will hurt you, you can tell me if you have any worries."

"...I can recognize the kidnappers."

"What?" Durand seemed a little surprised. "Edith, maybe you should let yourself rest for a while and stop thinking about it."

"I, tsk, how to say, anyway, he has a wound on his hand." Yu Yuan simply said it all at once, "I will recognize it when I see it, really."

"I believe you, but it's better to leave this matter to me first." Durand advised: "I will continue to track down the clues. Since this person has appeared here, it is impossible that no one will see him. I will find him. What you need most is to rest and free your mind."

"...Okay." Yu Yuan himself seemed to feel a little sleepy after being brainwashed by the other party to let him rest.

He lay on his side on the seat with a cushion on his head, "Call me when you arrive at the palace."

"good."

Outside the carriage, Howard was still chatting with the knight who was driving next to him.

"If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be. Every time the queen travels to the station of the Knights, sometimes it is the carriage of the palace, sometimes it is the Knights, not to mention that sometimes it is not the Queen who comes in the Queen's carriage, but Madeleine. Princess Lin, why did the kidnapper know that the queen was in the carriage that departed from the Knights in the evening?" Howard looked at the moonlight in the sky, thoughtful.

The knight replied, "It's either a coincidence, or you mean, someone in the knights has leaked the news?"

Since the serial murder case, the frequency of the queen's coming to the Knights has also been much lower, and every time she comes back and forth during the day, and only this time it is a little late in the evening before she hits the road. Thinking of this, it really shouldn't be.

"Maybe more serious than that." Howard looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, thoughtfully.

Another thing he couldn't communicate with anyone was the purpose of this kidnapper to kidnap the queen. Why? The queen disappeared for a few hours, and she was still hidden in this filthy place. From the moment he got the news and took the first step here, he began to feel uneasy, so that the first time he saw the queen lying barefoot, with hands and feet bound and blindfolded, he had an illusion that he thought he was Your Honorable Highness was insulted.

What a huge conflict in his heart at that moment, the thought that went straight to the top of his head tore him in two.

At this time, the night wind was blowing slowly, and the coolness poured into the body, which made me feel better.

"'Blue Rose Cult', or the murderer who killed four people, what kind of existence is this..."

When he arrived at the palace, Yu Yuan stared and felt someone pick him up, turned his head and fell asleep again, until Lin Ling said, "Wake up, the tip is coming soon."

He woke up in an instant.

Being around Durand reassures him, but not when Fernando is there.

Durand had just rejected the maid's offer to give her a hand or a pair of shoes, and hugged the queen as before, while Howard followed a step or two behind, still continuing his skeptical thinking.

But when the group had just reached the area where the queen's room was, the corridor turned around, and the king was standing at the door of the room with a rather unpleasant expression on his face.

Seeing the queen come back like this, and being hugged by the crown prince with the princess in his arms, Fernando's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he was about to step forward, but Durand spared a step to avoid him, and asked the maid to help open the door, and then Just go inside and put the queen on the bed.

Howard and the royal family had no reason and did not order them to come in anyway. Several maids were screened out. After Durand put the man down, he carefully covered the cup, as if he was dealing with some weak creature that died accidentally.

Yu Yuan was awake for only three seconds, and he was stunned by Durand and wanted to sleep again, his eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Fernando is not blind, and when he sees his bare feet, he feels that something is wrong. Looking at this look and the crown prince pretending to be calm, he suddenly got angry and said with an angry smile: "Why, this is finally tolerable. Can't stop?!"

He didn't know much about the murder case, he only knew about the kidnapping in the evening, and he was also in a hurry in the palace, and this was what he saw not long after turning around. According to Fernando's intuition, this is not necessarily a drama directed and performed by a certain crown prince.

After all, he was a little older, he had seen enough in the outside world when he was young, and he had sat in the king's seat for a while, and his experience was definitely not on the same level as others.

The king stepped forward, and when the crown prince tried to stop him, he lifted the thin quilt that had just been covered, and as if in a rage attacking his heart, he grabbed the person's skirt to the position of his knee, exposing a whole section of light. Bare legs, he could smell something wrong as soon as he leaned over to smell it on his clothes.

If Yu Yuan is not completely awake now, there is a problem, and he is also very angry, "Fernando, what's wrong with you, don't pretend to be crazy with me, get out!"

"Playing so crazy with him, come back with bare legs without socks, will you do it in your room next time?!" Fernando's one-eyed appearance is even more ferocious, and the tone of accusation can't be poked in the face .

Durand didn't speak, but with a "swoosh" he pulled out the rapier on his waist.

The attitude speaks for itself.

Fernando didn't bother to give the little crown prince another look, so he opened his mouth and said, "Now that we're weaned, has your esteemed queen taught you something?"

He looked at the queen again, "Your vision for choosing people is not very good. It's really enough to choose a useless puppy."

"If the dog can't spit out the ivory, roll it out for me," Yu Yuan said coldly.

What he disliked most was that this person gave advice to the crown prince all day long, not to mention that it would be a matter of time before Durand killed Fernando, and there could only be one king.

The scene froze for a while, but it was obvious that three people were present, but they were only divided into two sides.

In the game, anger is a pretense. Of course, he is not really angry. Everything is to force Fernando away first. He turned his head and said to Lin Ling, "He seems to be mentally retarded."

Lin Ling: "I probably shouldn't have said something. I feel like you are on the scene of catching a rape. Tip is a man in a green hat, and the little prince is the kind of puppy who is caught by his original partner but is teased in tea."

"Brother, go become a butter technician, it should be more suitable for you than this game, you are very good at bridging interpersonal relationships." Yu Yuan sincerely suggested, "You will definitely be able to generate income for our company in the field of holographic butter, Butter Technician of the Year."

"Thank you, I applied for the department next door, but I haven't qualified yet." Lin Ling followed up and made up.

The scene is still deadlocked, and now it is about Fernando still holding the queen, the crown prince's sword is very close to him, and the queen is looking at the king angrily.

Lin Ling: "It's hard to say which of them is redundant."

Next, however, it was another factor that broke the silence.

Yu Yuan glanced down and noticed that Fernando's right hand seemed to be... a bandage?

Injured right hand!

He suddenly regained his energy and asked loudly, "Your hand is injured?!"

Fernando also followed his gaze, and when he saw his bandaged hand, he remembered how the injury came from.

For some reason, he interpreted the queen's tone as caring, and his anger subsided a little, and said reluctantly: "You have a little conscience and you know to pay attention to my injury, I..."

But Yu Yuan suddenly got excited and cut him off.

"It was you who kidnapped me?! Pervert!"
