Chapter 294 Princess
This time, the guards in front of the palace gate did not deliberately make things difficult for them like the guards at the city gate did, and the group was allowed to pass smoothly.
At this time, the sky had darkened slightly. According to the orcs' way of timekeeping, it was probably around six o'clock in the afternoon.
The group of more than 20 people were led into the hall of the palace without even having time to eat dinner.
At this moment, King Edward VII is sitting elegantly on a throne carefully carved from sparkling yellow sapphires. He supported his cheek with one hand and glanced like an eagle at the five tall orcs kneeling in the middle of the hall.
"Oh, my dear William, your performance this time is perfect. When this matter is successfully concluded, your family will be able to return to the castle of the past." Edward VII's tone was filled with excitement, but his eyes were calm without any ripples.
"Thank you for your grace, His Majesty the King..." Lan Yuncheng imitated William's tone and habits, and spoke a series of sincere words of praise to express his respect for the king.
Then, a rather warm exchange of greetings ensued between the orcs and the king.
After a round of pleasantries, Edward VII finally brought the topic back to business and asked, "Where are the results of your mission?"
"Your Majesty, it's outside the palace." Lan Yuncheng replied with an extremely respectful look.
"Someone, bring the things up!" Duke Andrew, who was standing behind Edward VII, gave orders loudly. Duke Andrew has a typical oriental face, which is quite eye-catching.
When Lan Yuncheng and others saw Andrew, they were slightly stunned. It was the first time they saw an orc with an oriental face. From the appearance, he was almost no different from a human.
Soon, the white box originally carried by Yanwu was brought in by the guards in the palace.
When the white box was placed in the center of the hall, Edward VII's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a strange light. He turned to Duke Andrew who was standing next to him and said, "Andrew, let's go down and take a look together."
"Your Majesty, this may be dangerous. It would be better for you to wait until your subordinates confirm it is safe before going down to check." Andrew bent over respectfully and advised carefully.
"Okay, then you go down and take a look." Edward VII agreed after a little thought.
Andrew slowly walked down from the platform and paced back and forth around the white box, his eyes sharp as if he was carefully checking whether there was any hidden danger in the box.
After confirming that there was no obvious danger, he half-knelt on one knee beside the box, slowly opened the box with both hands, and stared at the scene in the box that was about to be revealed without blinking, his expression focused and nervous.
Lan Yuncheng and others who had been kneeling beside them could not help but hold their breath slowly, secretly nervous in their hearts, fearing that they would reveal a flaw by accident.
With a "click", the box was completely opened, and inside lay a girl in a deep coma.
When Andrew saw the person in the box, his eyes lit up instantly and he was secretly delighted: This is her. As long as he handed her over to the princess, the princess' wish would be fulfilled.
"Andrew, how is it? Is he the person we are looking for?" Edward VII seemed a little impatient and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, this is the person the princess has been looking for." After saying this, Andrew respectfully stepped aside so that Edward VII could clearly see the person in the box.
When Edward VII saw the girl in the box, his eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "It's her! It's her!" As he spoke, the pair of fiery red wings behind him flapped slightly, and he instantly appeared in front of the box in the next second.
He lowered his head and carefully examined the human girl in the box, his eyes filled with burning desire.
Lan Yuncheng and Wei Huaiyu, who were standing by, could clearly feel the eager gazes of the two orcs. Although the person in the box was not a real person, they couldn't help but clench their fists and feel angry at the fact that someone they cared about was offended in this way.
"Good! Good!" Edward VII cheered excitedly, and then said, "You have done an excellent job. I will keep my promise to you before!"
"You are all my capable men, please stand up!" Edward VII walked up to the five people and personally helped up Lan Yuncheng, the leader.
“William, you have suffered during this period.”
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to serve you." Lan Yuncheng responded.
Just as the man and the beast were exchanging greetings again, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The princess has arrived!"
After hearing this announcement, the humans and orcs in the hall had different expressions.
Lan Yuncheng and the others knew the identity of the princess, and they immediately became alert. They all perked up and stared straight at the door.
King Edward VII and Duke Andrew had love in their eyes. They quickly ran to the gate, eager to tell the princess the good news.
Seeing the two people's anxious actions and expressions, Lan Yuncheng and others looked at each other and thought to themselves: Bai Yiting's mother is definitely not an ordinary person. She can make two powerful orcs so in love with her.
"Bai, why are you here in person?" Edward VII's voice came from outside the gate, "I should have come to you for this matter."
"Your Majesty, I am really a little anxious." A gentle female voice came into the hall.
Then, a group of people walked in from the gate.
Walking in front was a beautiful woman in gorgeous white palace dress, with extraordinary temperament.
Seeing this familiar face, Lan Yuncheng and others were certain in their hearts that they had found the right target.
"Is this the person I'm looking for?" The princess walked straight towards the box, completely ignoring Lan Yuncheng and others who were kneeling beside her, and did not even respond to their greetings.
"How did you make her unconscious?" The princess seemed to be extremely worried about the safety of "Lan Ximeng" in the box, and said anxiously, "She couldn't have been unconscious all the way from the Federation to here, would her body be damaged?"
"Please rest assured, Princess. It won't happen." Andrew looked straight at the princess and explained in a firm tone, "This box uses our most advanced technology. The human inside is just in a deep sleep state. It won't cause any impact on the body."
"Very good." The princess showed a satisfied smile. She half squatted down and stretched out her hand to touch the face of the person in the box. However, the originally gentle face instantly became ferocious. She exerted force with her hands, and the face of "Lan Ximeng" in the box was instantly scratched, revealing a piece of metallic silver.
"This is a fake!" The princess' eyes were burning with anger, and she looked at Lan Yuncheng and others fiercely with her red eyes. The thing she grabbed in her hand was gently squeezed and turned into powder in an instant.
She sneered, opened her hands, and gently raised the silver powder in her hand. The powder floated in the air and soon disappeared without a trace.
"So it was you who were behind this!" The princess appeared in front of Lan Yuncheng and the others in the blink of an eye, and said grimly, "With you here, it's okay."
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and grabbed Lan Yuncheng like an eagle's claw.
Lan Yuncheng and others immediately released their special powers and tried to resist. At this moment, the princess' body twitched violently, and traces of blood oozed out of her pores.
"You poisoned that fake thing?" The princess asked in disbelief, looking at her hands that were gradually turning black with some astonishment.
As if in response to her question, "Lan Ximeng", whose half face was scratched, instantly disintegrated and turned into silver powder, which was blown away by the fan in the box and spread in the air.
