Chapter 232: Royal Infighting



February 1st.

West District, Garden Road Park.

Wayne was wearing a black suit, jacket and gentleman's hat, sitting on a park bench with a newspaper in his hand, and next to him was his secretary Mona carrying a briefcase.

The princess's knight met in Park Lane Gardens, designating a bench and newspaper as the secret signal for the meeting.

A little childish.

Because the deposit was too high and because of the guest's identity, Wayne complied with the other party's request.

Before coming, Wayne called Auston and asked if they could meet.

As the heir of the Landau family, Auston always asked Wayne to be loyal to the Queen. It was not yet time for them to be princes or princesses. It was okay to meet and chat, but not for too long to avoid misunderstandings by the Queen.

avoid arousing suspicion.

Wayne understood the reason, so he called Auston and threatened to return the deposit and refuse to meet the princess's knight if Auston disagreed.

Auston agreed and asked Wayne to sound out the Princess Knight and understand the other party's intention of the meeting first.

By the way, he warned the little trash can to mind his mouth and not to flirt with the princess. He could ignore girls like Chris and Willy, but not the princess.

Got it, Princess Elizabeth is Veronica’s sister!

Wayne accurately extracted the keywords. It was a night of lightning and thunder. Auston received a call and rushed to his ex-girlfriend's holiday villa. Queen Sophia only wore a pair of white gloves and complained to her ex-boyfriend that her marriage was boring and her husband did not understand romance.

Ten months later, Princess Elizabeth was born.

"What did I say? They must be having an affair. Go back and tell the teacher to let him fly again tonight."

Wayne swore to Mona the gossip between Austin and the Queen, his words full of envy, and when he spoke of hatred, he slapped his thigh hard.

Mona was very upset, but since it was Wayne, she didn't refute it. She praised her boss for his rich imagination and said it was a pity that he didn't write a novel.

"Even if I write it, I can't publish it. It involves too many important people. It's a banned book."

Wayne lamented the darkness of society where the truth cannot be told, and at the same time he denounced Auston for his double standards as he slept with the queen but did not allow him to sleep with the princess.

It is said that good things should be kept within the family, but Aston, as a father, actually treats his son as an outsider. He is such a failure.

Having said that, Wayne was just complaining and looking for an excuse to let Auston go. He himself was not looking forward to anything with the princess, even though the princess was most likely Veronica's half-sister.

The reason is simple. When Wayne mentions the name Elizabeth Windsor, he can't help but think of a certain old lady.

Although it's not the same person, but just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, and Little Wayne also feels that something is weird.

Wayne arrived five minutes early, and twenty minutes later, a woman in a black coat and holding a briefcase sat down at the bench.

The woman had short, neat golden hair and a tall figure. There was an air of majesty between her brows that made it difficult to approach her, as if it was innate, and her temperament was so cold and indifferent.

Maybe it was because the teacher had short blond hair. Wayne saw that he looked heroic and had a good impression of him at first sight. He showed the newspaper in his hand and said, "Wayne, are you my client?"

"No, I'm here to meet you on behalf of my client."

The woman held out her hand, wearing a black leather glove. "Hello, Sir Wayne, Juno Jones, you can call me Knight Jones."

"Yes, Miss Juno."

Wayne politely shook hands with the other party. Seeing that he was about the same age as himself, he guessed that he was from the military and was not only the princess's knight, but also her secretary or maid.

In his place, this kind of person is usually called a dowry maid.

Wow, she's really good-looking and has a nice figure.

According to Austin, the princess already had a fiancé, so that beast got her a good chance.

Perhaps Wayne's gaze was too rude, Juno frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Sir Wayne, I checked your information before coming here. According to reliable information, you are not Mr. Landau's illegitimate son, and you are not related by blood."

"so what?"

"Please allow me to reserve the right to question the intelligence."

“You are allowed to keep it.”

Wayne nodded. The rumors were like a flood and he didn't want to explain anymore.

It's all Auston's fault. Why does she have to look like him when there are so many other looks? Even Veronica has been complaining about it recently, joking that she was picked up.

"Sir Wayne..."

"Just call me Wayne. It's better to keep it simple. I'll call you Juno. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Wayne was not familiar with Juno, and he did not want to brush her progress bar, so he got straight to the point: "According to what you said, you are Princess Elizabeth's knight. Can you prove it? I don't mean anything else. It's not that I don't believe you, but this is a serious matter and I must confirm it."

“As it should be.”

Juno opened his briefcase, took out a black telescope, and pointed it at the six-story luxury hotel west of the park: "Top floor, the window in the middle."

What do you mean, you also ambushed snipers?

Wayne did not take the telescope. He used his super vision to look towards the top floor of the hotel. The surrounding scenery quickly receded and he saw a blonde woman holding a telescope in the middle window.

The woman put down the telescope, smiled slightly, and waved to Wayne.

With her long golden hair tied up and wearing formal clothes, she looks somewhat similar to Queen Sophia. She is youthful, beautiful, mysterious and noble. She is Princess Elizabeth.

The princess nodded with a smile and then closed the window.

Wayne withdrew his gaze and frowned. The princess nodded three times and then closed the window. He seemed to have seen this speed run guide somewhere.

"Sir Wayne?"

"That's fine, Wayne. My medal is a knighthood. We are both knights. There's no need to be polite."

Wayne said casually, "When the princess becomes queen, you will be a lady at least, and you will be a close minister. I will have to count on you to say a few good words to her then."

Juno's face changed, and he said coldly: "Sir Wayne, you are not an ordinary person. You are the heir of the Tulip family. Please don't talk about the throne."

"It's okay. I said something similar to the prince. It's just a polite remark. The princess won't take it seriously."

“…”

Juno took a deep breath, and in order to keep up with Wayne's pace, he subsided the coldness on his face, skillfully switched to an official diplomatic expression, and smiled faintly: "Wayne, I have proved my identity, and now it's time to discuss the commission."

"Okay, but let me be frank with you. The person you represent is of extraordinary status, so I may not accept this commission." Wayne gave Mona a look, asking her to learn from him and see how he managed his facial expressions.

“As it should be.”

Juno didn't waste any words and said bluntly: "According to reliable intelligence from the Ministry of Magic, you have had two conflicts with the devil, one in Dragon Heart Island and one in Lundan. You were very successful undercover and provided a lot of intelligence to the Heavenly Father Church."

"That's true, but I'm not familiar with the Holy Father's Church and have always been loyal to the Minister of Magic. I provide intelligence so that the Church can deal with the devil and thereby weaken the Church's effectiveness in Windsor." Wayne made his position clear.

Mona nodded along, this is what undercover work is like.

Juno smiled and continued, "On January 5, the Dawn Detective Agency across from the Wayne Detective Agency was attacked by demons. Mr. Landau reported the information about the arrival of the demons from Hell to the Ministry of Magic. Afterwards, the demons attacked many locations of the Ministry of Magic, causing heavy losses..."

"The devil was last seen on January 14th, attacking Landau Manor and was defeated."

"There is still a devil lurking in Lundan. I have received accurate information and have several suspicious targets on hand. I hope Wayne Detective Agency will take over the commission and investigate on my behalf."

Having said that, Juno opened his briefcase, took out a thick document bag, and waited for Wayne's reply.

"You are the princess's knight, and the princess is a member of the royal family. The royal family found a clue but did not inform the Ministry of Magic directly. Instead, they came to me, a member of the Ministry of Magic and the heir of the Tulip family..."

Wayne talked about the relationship and shook his head, "It's a bit complicated. I just want to ask, does the Queen know?"

"The Queen may or may not know."

What is Schrödinger's Queen? Is she having an affair with Planck?

Wayne rolled his eyes. "My identity dictates that I can only serve the Queen, and I must serve the Queen. Thank you Princess for your appreciation, and please ask her to find someone else. I cannot accept this commission."

"Mr. Wayne, putting aside our complicated identities, you are a detective and I am a nosy passerby, that's all." Juno said.

"Disaster!"

Wayne shook his head: "What you think and what I think are not important. The Queen is the master of the country, and what she thinks is important. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

As he said that, he patted his butt, stood up, and staggered to a tree.

This crooked tree is really unique, it needs to be studied carefully.

As soon as Wayne patted her butt, Mona knew what position to change. She sat next to Juno and picked up the newspaper for the contact: "Mona, the gold medal detective of Wayne Detective Agency, how can I help you?"

Juno was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I have a commission in my hand, and I hope the Wayne Detective Agency can help investigate it. Time is short, the sooner the better."

"Can."

The two beauties chatted for a while, and Mona turned on the team voice and asked a few questions that Wayne wanted to know.

Five minutes later, Wayne returned from visiting the tree.

Mona stood up, pushed her glasses, and said with a serious expression: "Boss, the client's situation is very difficult. I can't complete the investigation alone. I hope to work with you to solve the case."

"I really can't do anything with you, let me help you..."

Wayne took the file bag and carefully read the information. After a moment, he put the file bag back into Mona's arms expressionlessly: "You investigate first. I will come to you tonight. Bring Miss Juno with you. She must be present throughout the process, otherwise you can't start the work."

Juno smiled bitterly and shook his head in his chair. He was too cautious. He must be Auston's illegitimate son.

The two beauties immediately began their investigation. Wayne did not follow them and went to the luxury hotel first. He put on white gloves and skillfully pried open the door and locked it to enter the suite where the princess was.

The house was empty, with only a faint scent of perfume lingering in the air.

Wayne sniffed his nose and remembered the smell of Princess Elizabeth: "There is a similar perfume in the elevator, and the chair is still warm. In addition, there are other smells. There are men and women. They should be bodyguards..."

There are many possibilities, and since he couldn't confirm it with his own eyes, Wayne made some speculations and did not jump to any conclusions.

"As far as the smell was concerned, I am quite sure that the princess was very pure and did not have a silver party in the suite."

The camera turned to Randall Manor, where Wayne analyzed his guess with reason and evidence. Hearing Auston's expressionless face, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

After all this time, you only found this?

"I wanted to check something else, but there was no hair left at the scene, and no one used the bathroom. Not to mention a piece of toilet paper, there wasn't even a fingerprint left."

Wayne asked curiously, "Whether the other party is the real princess or not, we cannot conclude at this moment, but the intelligence provided by Knight Juno is very interesting. One of the targets of investigation is Prince Edward. We might as well be bolder. The other targets are all fake, and the princess's investigation target is only the prince."

"Queen……"

"I have asked. The Queen may or may not know."

Wayne blinked and said excitedly, "Assuming the Queen knew, she gave the Princess the power to investigate. The Princess was worried that it would have a bad impact and become a stain on her ascension to the throne, so she didn't go through the official process."

"Auston, we have been waiting for this for a long time, and finally the royal family is in turmoil!"

Austin: (=_=)

Don't be so picky, he didn't expect any internal strife in the royal family.

Besides, this is not an internal fight at all. As for Prince Edward, as long as the queen is not crazy, the next king will still be the queen.

Austin realized that the heir chosen by his wife and daughter was a traitor and had no respect for the royal family.

Although he didn't respect them that much and put his family before the royal family, he was a good actor and never thought about watching the royal family's fun.

"Don't say such things anymore. You're such a good actor. Is it hard for you to pretend to be a loyal and patriotic knight?"

"There are no outsiders here..."

Wayne was halfway through his words when he looked at the study door outside the soundproof barrier: "Megan isn't either, we're all family, so tell me the truth, is Princess Elizabeth Veronica's sister?"

"How is that possible?"

"How can it be impossible? They are so similar, almost identical."

"ah?"

"The hairstyle is exactly the same."

“…”

Auston was too lazy to pay attention to Wayne and simply said, "Let your secretary investigate. Don't do anything. The water is too deep. If you can avoid showing up, don't show up. Even if you do show up, you can't use your current face."

"The Dark Knight?"

“…”

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Wayne shrugged his shoulders and asked in a different tone, "Assuming that the previous speculation is true, the princess has obtained the queen's authorization to secretly investigate whether Prince Edward is involved with the devil. Why did the princess come to me? Aren't you going to explain?"

What Wayne meant was very simple. Why did the princess have to look for the Landau family? Did the princess guess who her biological father was?

"I'm saying this for the last time. I have nothing to do with the princess, nor with the queen!"

Auston glared at Wayne fiercely, determined not to give him the chance to spread rumors, and then frowned. He didn't figure out the problem yet.

"Didn't you figure it out?"

"Um."

"Let me remind you, think about the princess' birthday, was the protection not taken properly that night?"

It never ends, right?

Auston held the ancient silver coin tightly. "That's enough. Let your secretary investigate. You are not allowed to get involved. The investigators from the Church of Nature are still in Lundan. Don't get too close to the royal family."

Wayne was very disappointed that he didn't get the desired result, but he didn't care. He would tell the teacher the truth later and make it clear that Auston and the princess were father and daughter.

Wayne left the study and planned to go straight home, but he met Monica who was lost. He followed her all the way and was caught by Veronica.

Because of the crystal ball, Veronica was in a very good mood and rewarded Wayne with two hours.

The Dragon Blood Girl's reward method is rather alternative. Unlike ordinary girls, she expresses intimacy with her fists. She dragged Wayne to the underground base and sparred with him for two hours.

Wayne saw that he was sweating all over, so he went to soak in the bathtub in the eldest lady's villa.

It was already six o'clock in the evening when he was waiting to leave Landau Manor. He walked down the sewer to Mona's house, took out the key, opened the door, and went up to the second floor with ease.

Hearing a sound coming from the bathroom, Wayne looked at himself smelling delicious and decided to take another bath.

"boss."

Just as I unbuttoned my clothes, I heard Mona's voice from the side.

Wayne had a strange look on his face and pointed to the bathroom. Who was inside? Was it his good friend Nancy?

"It's Ms. Juno."

"Why did you bring her home?" Wayne wondered.

"It's your request, Boss. Juno must be present during the investigation." Mona blinked and pointed to the next room.

Wayne didn't understand what she meant, so he followed her out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, there was a soundproof barrier right at the entrance.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”

"Well, did you find out anything today?"

"The investigation is progressing very quickly. Several small targets have been eliminated, leaving only Prince Edward as the only target," Mona said slurred.

"I knew it..."

Wayne frowned. The princess dragged the Landau family into the water under the guise of investigating the devil. It couldn't be said that she had any ulterior motives, but she definitely had bad intentions.

This is bad, the Death Knight can't make any extra money and the Dark Knight can't get any kickbacks.

Perhaps I could investigate as a Death Knight.

"Mona, don't be too aggressive in investigating the prince. You are an excellent detective. If you find any clues or suspicious places, let Juno make the deductions. If she is a fool, guide her to make the deductions." Wayne spoke briefly and told Mona not to rush to the front.

"She's playing dumb?"

"Then delay. She must be more anxious than you."

“…”

Mona couldn't agree with that. The target of the investigation involved the devil and she was really anxious.

"Don't worry, I will change my identity and conduct another investigation. If you meet me next time, remember to pretend that you don't know me." Wayne patted his head and said, "Investigate the prince's itinerary, where he stays recently, and who is around him. Find a way to get Juno to provide information and give it to me as soon as possible."

"clear."

At the same time, Prince Edward, who Wayne regarded as his own, was exchanging ideas with beautiful women in the villa.

The black-haired beauty is named Chand, a distant relative of Mayor Angelo. Prince Edward insisted on being shameless and finally won the beauty and let Chand climb onto his high limbs.

For example, now, after a fierce battle between the two, Edward held the beauty in his arms and felt that his life had reached its peak.

He was extremely obsessed with Xiangde and once said to her face that if he had not been engaged and his fiancée's family was not easy to deal with, he would dare to break off the engagement and take Xiangde as his queen.

Then, Edward said that he would give true love a place and that his fiancée would understand his difficulties.

Keep it simple, keep the red flag flying at home and the colorful flags fluttering outside.

Edward promised Chand that his fiancée would turn a blind eye to the matter because it was a political marriage and their relationship was quite ordinary, and doing so would be beneficial to everyone.

"Edward, it's my birthday in a few days."

Xiangde narrowed his eyes and said, "I know you prepared a surprise for me. I appreciate your kindness and I will treasure this love. There is no need to mobilize a large force. After all... she will be angry if she knows, and I don't want to be the third party who interferes."

"Xiang De, I promise there will be no birthday party or random guests. It's just a small gathering. They are all my friends. You should meet them."

"Really?"

"Of course, I can't lie to you!"
