Mona and Juno joined forces, but the detective duo had no tacit understanding at all. With both of them pretending to be stupid, the investigation made limited progress.
Princess Elizabeth behind Juno did not express her opinion. She was not in a hurry, and it was useless for Wayne to be anxious. Every day, he would get the information collected by Mona and turn around to discuss with Austin.
Based on the intelligence at hand, the princess is interested in cooperating with the Landau family.
To be more precise, Auston pledged allegiance to the Queen, and the Princess wanted Wayne's loyalty.
"Auston, this is different from what you said..."
Wayne was puzzled and said, "According to what you mean, Prince Edward has no chance of ascending the throne, and the princess can become queen without doing anything, but she doesn't behave like a winner at all."
Whether it was looking for the prince's stains or flirting with the Landau family in advance, the more Wayne watched, the more he felt that the princess was guilty and lacked confidence and wanted to use tricks.
"Don't think too much. I've already asked the Queen." Austin ended the conversation.
"What did the Queen say?"
“No statement.”
Auston played with the ancient silver coin: "The queen has not made a statement, but the princess's investigation is still ongoing, which means she knows about this matter. As for choosing the Landau family... I have no idea yet."
The Landau family is loyal to the queen and will be loyal to the king in the future. There is no need for the princess to be so anxious. Just wait patiently.
And with the queen knowing about it, even if the princess flirted with him until her eyelids cramped, the Landau family would not see a thing.
If you insist on finding a scapegoat...
Impossible, the Queen knows it.
Based on Austin's understanding of Princess Elizabeth, she is resourceful, capable, and smart, and is an excellent heir to the throne. Such an intelligent move is not something the princess would do.
"What did I say? The princess knows everything. She wants to test whether you as her biological father are worth looking forward to!" Wayne said.
Auston ignored him and said, "I think Xifei has already told you that the investigation team of the Church of Nature has left Lundan. Your candidacy is now secure. Once the process at the Church of Nature headquarters is completed, you will go to the headquarters in the near future."
"The teacher said, and also mentioned Flora. She took annual leave and took the students away from London. If the information is correct, she went to the headquarters to use her connections." Wayne curled his lips and imagined the scene of Flora showing her thighs everywhere.
Otherwise, what other bargaining chips does she have besides her identity as the former saint?
"I remember you said that two members of the Knights of Nature came to the investigation team, and they don't know who each other is." Austin said slowly: "Be careful, maybe the deputy leader is here for the Death Knight."
"The Dark Knight, he's the most wanted criminal."
Wayne was slightly expectant as Gavin rushed into the West End Cemetery. In front of him was the Death Knight and behind him was the Dark Knight. They looked weak, helpless and pitiful, squatting behind a tombstone and shivering.
"It is impossible that the deputy commander of the Knights of Nature came here just to test the candidates. He must have other purposes..." Austin frowned, suspecting that the deputy commander had already met with the queen.
It could also be someone else, such as the Church of the Heavenly Father.
The most likely possibility is that he has been there to show support for the Church of Nature and to warn their ally, the Moonlight Church, not to seize their territory.
Auston shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about the mess: "Keep a low profile when you go to the headquarters, don't go over there, the Dark Knight has also appeared, use your normal skills to deal with Flora's students, I hope she can make Xifei change her mind."
"Don't worry, I know Otilia very well. She can't escape from my grasp."
“…”
Auston didn't want to talk, so he pointed at the door and signaled Wayne to leave.
…
Time passed quickly and it was February 8th when Mona made a breakthrough in her investigation.
She received reliable information from Juno that Prince Edward held a birthday party for his lover at a castle on the outskirts of the city.
The venue was rented by Mayor Angelo, and the event was so grand that even Wayne received an invitation.
Detective agency office.
As soon as Wayne got the information about the mustache, he called Sora and handed over the information about the Tulip family.
Simple and crude, not afraid of being exposed at all.
He was not afraid. Sora was very panicked. He and Wayne agreed on a mailbox for the next information exchange. If they had any information in the future, they could just drop the letter in a trash bag and they didn't have to meet every time.
Wayne agreed immediately and next time he would outsource the task to the man with a mustache and have him deliver the information directly to the mailbox, saving him the time of handling the matter.
After solving these small matters, Wayne rubbed his hands and looked forward to the performance of the last familiar.
The first familiar disappeared as soon as he arrived in Lundan, and the second one became a puppet of a mysterious man. Each one was more embarrassing than the other, creating two hellish jokes in a row.
The third one is the most hidden. Judging from Juliet's name, it should be a familiar with female physical characteristics.
Wayne looked at the invitation on his left, then at the information on his right, and pointed at the photo of Shand and said, "I've seen this woman before. I didn't expect she would hook the prince so quickly."
Mona nodded enviously. If she had such efficiency, she would have been in trouble long ago.
"Is the information reliable? I observed this beautiful woman at the time, but I didn't sense any devilish aura from her..."
Wayne hesitated and spoke, he had no idea what kind of aura the devil had, he only knew that Shand was indeed very beautiful. He suspected that his values were influenced by her looks and he was deceived by the devil's beauty.
"Boss, Juno's information comes from the princess, so I think it can't be wrong."
"That prince is amazing. He has a devil lover. He can call himself a devil knight in the future."
Wayne complained, picked up the invitation and handed it to Mona: "You will attend the banquet on my behalf, so there is no need for gifts. Just bring a bouquet of flowers. The prince and I are not that familiar with each other."
After saying this, he transmitted his thoughts to the devil, saying that since he had gathered so many people, it was impossible for him to do nothing. He would go to the castle tonight as a Death Knight.
"Boss, Juno doesn't have an invitation, but she knows you have one and wants to follow you in."
"No, you go with her."
Wayne frowned and took the two beauties to the banquet. It was very cool to hug them on both sides. By the way, he learned from Auston and established the persona of a lustful playboy, indicating that women were his weakness.
No one is perfect, if you want to deal with him, you have to use the beauty trap, he guarantees that he is easy to seduce.
That's what Auston did.
Too bad I can't play it.
At least not this time.
There is a prince and a princess, and the queen is watching covetously from behind. This banquet is too chaotic. As the heir of the Landau family, he cannot show up directly.
Ask the secretary to bring a bouquet of flowers and that's pretty much it.
…
night.
A suburb of Lund.
The cold moon is lonely and the fog is thin.
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, dense forests cover the low hills. The leaves are layered and the hazy moonlight cannot penetrate. Looking down, you can see an intermittent mountain path.
A gust of wind blew, and the fog was pushed away like a big hand. The branches swaying in the wind seemed to be pushed by this big hand, making a rustling sound.
Deep in the dense forest, an ancient castle stands quietly. Soft music plays, barely suppressing the gloomy atmosphere around it.
The high beams cut through the darkness as a black car approached from afar, crossed the stone bridge, passed through the tunnel, and slowly approached the castle.
Inside the car, two ladies were dressed up.
Mona and Juno have similar tastes and both wore white evening gowns with coats to cover their elegant curves.
All that's missing is a man who can carry the bag, drive the car, and hug girls left and right.
Juno was driving and said in surprise, "It's incredible. Your boss didn't come. He let such a beautiful secretary like you attend the party alone. Is he really at ease?"
He was on his way on horseback.
Mona gave the correct answer in her mind and smiled: "Juno, my boss and I are just an employer-employee relationship, it's not as complicated as you think."
"Is this true? That night you and he..."
Juno raised her eyebrows. "You and I both have holy light magic. We have known each other for so many days. If we are not good sisters, we are at least good friends. Tell the truth, what is your relationship with Sir Wayne?"
"It doesn't matter."
"I don't believe it, you must be his girlfriend."
"Not rare."
"So that's the lover?"
“…”
This is possible.
Seeing that Mona did not refute, Juno said regretfully: "Sir Wayne is the heir of the Landau family. He is destined to marry Mr. Landau's daughter. You are so well-off, there is no need to waste your youth on him."
It has nothing to do with you!
"Seriously, are you interested in changing jobs? The princess needs talents like you. One day in the future, Sir Wayne might even bow to you." Juno extended an olive branch, trying to lure Mona away.
As you can imagine, the effect is average.
Although Mona is not in the shape of Wayne, she is already in the shape of Wayne.
"Juno, don't talk while driving, keep your eyes straight ahead, and you're wearing high heels, right?"
"ah?"
"Next time, remember not to wear high heels when driving. It's too dangerous."
“…”
Juno was not discouraged. She kept trying to persuade Mona with kind words, telling her to be independent and strong, not to rely on men, and that sisters should do it together, etc. However, Mona did not respond.
"arrive."
The black car stopped at the temporary parking lot in front of the castle. Juno pushed the door and got out, looking at the cold moon in the distance: "The fog in the suburbs is so thick tonight. It wasn't so gloomy when I scouted the area yesterday. Is this the devil's trick?"
The devil is not so handsome!
Juno's continuous missteps made Mona unhappy. She walked towards the castle gate with the invitation and gave her today's gift.
A bouquet of flowers.
"Is this a gift from your boss?"
"Well, the gift is small but the thought is great, that's what the boss said."
"You are so stupid, why didn't the princess meet you earlier..."
Juno felt sorry for the princess, thinking it was such a pity that such a good woman was not won by the princess.
The two walked on the red carpet into the castle venue. They were magicians and were not afraid of the cold winter night, but neither of them had the intention of taking off their coats. They carried their wine glasses to the open-air banquet square on the top floor and found a corner to observe the guests around them.
Soon, a gentleman approached the two and asked if they needed a male companion.
Juno put her arm around Mona's shoulders, saying that they were no longer single and could be happy without a male companion.
Because it was Windsor, the gentleman smiled and left.
Suddenly, there was a commotion below. The guests on the top floor looked down at the castle gate from above, and laughter of gloating was heard.
Mona looked down and saw more than a dozen men in black surrounding a woman and trying to break through the checkpoint. Their methods were very brutal and anyone who tried to stop them was beaten back.
The woman was the most sturdy one. She was wearing a riding suit and a pair of long boots. She led the way with a whip in her hand and beat back the castle guards with a crackling sound.
Mona pushed her glasses. The woman's identity was not simple. She broke into the castle violently. The castle guards fought and retreated, and no one fought back.
"It's going to be a good show."
Juno's lips curled up. "She is Prince Edward's fiancée, Carol Bourbon. She is from the famous Bourbon family. They were very powerful in the past, but now their influence is average."
"Juno, is this something you can just say casually?"
This was the first time Mona heard the prince's fiancée's last name. Rounding it off, the prince and his fiancée were relatives.
"What does it matter? Those who know know it, and those who don't know it doesn't matter. For example, the princess's fiancé is also the heir to a branch of a poor family."
Juno raised her hand and pointed to the northeast: "Friendly reminder, it's the impoverished royal family."
"Hohenzollern?"
"A little further away."
If you go any further, you can only dig potatoes...
Mona suddenly realized and thought of the famous Romanov family. She frowned and said puzzledly: "As far as I know, all the members of this family have died. At that time, they even asked the Windsor royal family for help."
"As for politics, there are always various reasons. I can only say that the environment does not allow it..."
Juno smiled slightly: "Besides, it's not hopeless, otherwise where would the princess' fiancé come from?"
"Gulp!"
Mona swallowed her saliva. The princess's fiancé and the prince's fiancée might not have orthodox bloodlines, but their surnames were both of great significance.
What is the Windsor royal family going to do to overthrow the current social system and restore the feudal rule of the past?
No way, are you that crazy?
This is playing with fire and getting burned. Even the Papal States wouldn't dare to do this.
Perhaps seeing Mona's suspicion, Juno smiled and said, "Don't think too much. No one dares to do anything. It's just to leave a bloodline so that it will be convenient for you to do some small things in the future."
Mona was stunned when she heard this, and looked Juno up and down, frowning and said: "Juno, you talk too much tonight."
When her butt didn't touch Wayne's hand, Mona's IQ was definitely online. It was obvious that Juno was completely different tonight, and it seemed that these words were not meant for her.
"I can't help it. Your boss isn't here. I can only tell you this."
“…”
Mona was stunned again. Is it possible that the princess wanted to establish a relationship with her master instead of the Landau family?
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's watch the show!"
Juno took a sip of her drink and looked down. There were other guests who shared the same optimistic attitude as her.
These people were either Edward's friends or VIPs invited by Mayor Angelo. They were acquaintances in the same circle and would not miss the opportunity to watch the fun no matter what.
If I could see Carol fight Shand, tonight would be worth the trip.
Below, Prince Edward came to the rescue with a group of people. Seeing him sweating profusely and trying hard to explain to his fiancée, you knew that the biggest fun of the night was about to begin.
Fight! Fight!
In the grass in the corner of the castle, there was a skull with glowing eyes.
"Edward, why didn't I receive an invitation to your birthday? Also, why was your birthday changed to today?"
"Carol, let me explain..."
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, hand over that bitch, I want to see how charming she can be!"
"There are so many people here, let's go inside and talk..."
Faced with his fiancée's aggressiveness, the prince was overwhelmed. He seemed to hear the laughter of his friends, and he pulled and dragged his fiancée into the castle.
In the open-air square, everyone looked out, waiting for the second show to start.
This was just an appetizer, the main course will come next.
"The prince is going to have a headache today. I remember he was very afraid of his fiancée..."
"After all, the whip is good."
"It's worth it for me to come here to join in the fun today."
"Come to think of it, Shand's only support is Mayor Angelo. Will she be hung up and whipped?"
"The prince should have expected this day to come."
There are not many people in the world who understand Tai Chi, but there are a lot of people who understand Bagua.
For example, right now, the onlookers are not afraid of having too little fun, so they actively exercise their subjective initiative, imagine the upcoming dinner, and make up jokes one after another.
The fact that so many bad friends ridiculed him unscrupulously shows that although the prince had no ability to govern the country, he had many friends and was very popular outside.
Crackling.
There was a sound of something being smashed, and everyone laughed even more happily.
Mona looked at it and then looked away.
It's boring, there are only sounds but no images. Instead of wasting time, I might as well go and see if Xiangde is really a devil.
Turning around, the target was right in front of me.
Xiangde arrived at the top floor at some point. She had black hair and was sitting cross-legged. She was wearing a black evening dress that revealed her snow-white shoulders and neck. Her delicate collarbone was pointed downward, and the black pendant with gemstones adorned her distinct grooves.
The breath of darkness!
Mona narrowed her eyes slightly, her pupils shining with golden light, staring at the black gem on Xiangde's chest.
The power of the Dark Church is not the devil from hell. This clue is wrong.
Snap!
The black gem cracked, and a surging dark aura poured out, surrounding Xiangde's body. He was wrapped in thick black mist, and a slender elemental shadow rose from the ground.
The dark figure was about five meters tall, with twisted black mist rising like long hair, slender arms hanging down, and an inverted triangle body that converged to the waist and then expanded and spread out, as if wearing a dark woven pleated skirt.
The black shadow raised one arm and held up an elemental black mist umbrella, probably where the face was, and a pair of red lights suddenly opened.
The guests were frightened by the scene and retreated tremblingly. They were on the edge of the top floor of the castle, and any further would mean a free fall.
Mona did not take action. Shand was not a devil, and there was no need for her to expose her identity and cause trouble for Wayne.
Beside him, Juno took a slow step forward, holding a cross pendant in her hand and muttering something.
Precast swing.
boom!!!
There was a loud bang, the earth rumbled, and the castle shook violently.
Black curtains were pulled up from all four directions, covering the five directions and surrounding the castle completely.
In the sky, the inverted pentagram formation glowed red, and cold blood rain poured down, covering the gray castle with a layer of blood.
From afar, the cold moon outside the curtain was so red that it almost seemed to be dripping with blood.
Prince Edward ran out quickly, followed by his fiancée Carol holding a whip. They both looked up at the sky, their eyes gradually becoming blurred in the drizzling rain.
A figure came up behind the two and patted them on the shoulders. The greasy middle-aged body slowly changed into an elegant figure wearing a black wide-brimmed hat.
The last familiar, Juliet!
It showed up so suddenly, is there something wrong?
In the bushes in the corner of the castle, the skeleton head appeared skeptically and simply and roughly, without any aura of a boss. Even if the familiar was an elite monster and could not be considered a big boss, this appearance made more than a month of lurking go to waste.
That's all, and I thought you were somebody!
Wayne was slightly disappointed and was about to pretend to be dead on the spot.
Directly south of the castle, a beam of white light shot up into the sky. The surging magic power stirred up a whirlpool and a storm, overturning a bloody backflow. It was definitely not as simple as a golden wizard.
Are there any experts?
