The prince followed his companions all the way through the building. One of them ran straight, while the other chased him stealthily. When they arrived around the mansion, it was almost three o’clock in the afternoon.

It was getting closer and closer to the night. Jin Yuan stopped in the depths of an empty alley and waited for a few seconds. Then a heavy pat came from her shoulder, as if with some kind of unspeakable kindness. Shane put his arm around his shoulder and patted him a few more times to comfort him. Then he released his great strength, passed his companion without saying a word, and walked towards the destination with an arrogant expression.

It was not the first time for them to visit here. With the help of the rich and powerful relationship of the rich young man-Ronnie Weston, they had met many aristocrats of the southern kingdom here before. They had investigated this old manor many times in secret and overtly. Although they were unable to enter, they knew the general structure of the manor. The two of them walked along a defensive wall made of large granite and slowly turned the corner. They saw two well-dressed aristocrats of the South Island standing in front of the bronze arch covered by several broadleaf fragrant trees.

The man was forty years old, wearing a straight sea blue military uniform and a golden belt. He looked dignified and dignified. He was no other than the owner of this room: Lord Joseph Dillon. He was very thin, and his eyes were as sharp as knives. There was no expression on his bronze face, and it seemed that he was serious and stereotyped. Thanks to the short silver hair floating in the wind, he looked more or less lively.

Next to him was a lady who was not tall and looked a little round. She was wearing a blue and white traditional evening dress of the South Island, decorated with a few family heirloom accessories, looking dignified and graceful. She was Lianna·Dillon, the wife of the count. She used to despise those upstart like competitions. She never took part in any salon or party in the group of rich women but took care of this big mansion in an orderly manner. In the mansion, her words were more useful than her husband, who was not good at socializing.

The special lady was standing under the tree, waiting for the guests from all directions to attend the banquet. When she saw the two princes slowly walking from the street, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly walked up to them with an incomparably intimate smile. She held Shane’s hand and smiled as if she was complaining, “Miss Wenwen, why are you so late…I was waiting for you to have lunch together… “

Miss Wenwen…Hearing the title, the prince felt goosebumps all over his body. He used the illusion to cover up his mouth and twitched the corners of his mouth without scruple. He answered politely on the surface, but from the corner of his eyes, he had hidden a few meters away from him. Obviously, he didn’t want to get involved in this matter at all.

He didn’t know why this lady was so enthusiastic about him. Since they knew each other, she had been caring about him all the time and always looked at him with a very strange look, which almost made him feel that his perfect disguise was useless.

Looking at the elegant and steady female warrior in front of her, Mrs.Lianna loved her more and more. She was born in a military family, and she didn’t like those delicate women who were flamboyant. She had a natural good impression of this kind of heroic, strong woman. What’s more, although Miss Wendy didn’t reveal her identity, she was so noble from the bottom of her heart. It was not as simple as the maid described by others…

Mrs.Lianna had always been confident in her own judgment. Her son was about to get married. In the past two years, many people came to ask about it, but she found an excuse to refuse. She didn’t care about those useless girls who always bought things. If she could make this mysterious, elegant, charming, and invincible woman become her daughter-in-law, it would be a great gift from her highness!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Even her smile gradually turned into a strange category. Fortunately, a light cough pulled her back from the fantasy. Seeing that his wife held the miss’s hand for a long time and didn’t let her go, the count felt a little impolite. He coughed and made a gesture, saying in a low voice, “Miss Wendy, please come in and wait a moment. The banquet will officially be held at dusk.”

“Yes…It’s very hot on the street. Let’s go home and have a rest. “Mrs. Lianna also hurriedly pulled her inside, as if she had already taken her as a member of her family.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Being ignored, there was nothing to complain about for Jin Yuan. Following the two of them, he bowed to the count and walked into the courtyard. Green trees were planted on the wall, and twelve large stone fountain was connected to the door. The fountain surrounded the whole ancient castle according to the direction, bringing countless cool water vapor to the hot afternoon. There were several marble tables and chairs in regular shapes on the lush grass. In the distance, there was a blue swimming pool. At this moment, many people in cool clothes were swimming by the pool, enjoying themselves.

With a smile on her face, Mrs.Lianna walked to the fountain with Shane. She pointed at the stone table and said gently, “If you need anything, just ring the bell over there.” then she patted Shane’s hand intimately and rushed back to the door.

The prince had been wearing a long face all the time. It was not until now that he relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. He had never encountered any problem when he took part in a mercenary mission as a normal female. It was not until now that he realized the great negative effect of the gender difference. He first attracted a strange local rich man who was like glue, and then met this strange lady who looked weird and hard to deal with…He really regretted it. He shouldn’t have swaggered around the city with this identity and caused trouble for no reason.

There was no point in thinking too much. Put up with it and leave as soon as got the news…He sighed helplessly and looked back. He wandered under the shade of the tree as if nothing had happened. He also took a cup of cool fruit drink from the stone table and drank it one by one. It seemed that he was really here for a banquet.

This guy…He was still angry just now. Jin Yuan didn’t know if it was because of the good play in front of the door that it seemed to be sunny now. Shane snorted and moved his little finger secretly. Suddenly, a golden light flashed and disappeared in front of the spear guard, which was a signal to him. Then he followed the plan and walked along the border surrounded by the fountain stone sculptures. Pretending to be interested, he looked around the old castle which seemed to have no defensive power.

The whole castle was piled up with grey and white rectangular bricks and stones. The cracks of the bricks and stones were covered with sand and sand to prevent missing. At last, the wall was ground to remove the extra edges, as if it was natural. After hundreds of years of evolution, green vines and mosses had already climbed over the wall. Shane looked up, only to find that the Royal Blue Tower and the carved window were still under the rule of these intruders from the savage land.

There weren’t many guards around the castle, but the prince didn’t dare to let down his guard. The silent alarm system would definitely be distributed in the critical positions around the castle, pulling one hair and moving the whole body. He didn’t know what kind of magic guide it was, and it was even more impossible to break it. It would be best if he could find a way to avoid the alarm or find a new way…

He silently remembered the terrain of every tower and calculated the action plan after night. After circling around the fountain, he stood back in front of the gate. He met again as far as he could after investigating the periphery. The two of them looked at each other. When they were about to find a secret place to talk about it, they heard Mrs.Lianna scold angrily from outside, “Elder Moreydrea, you said it would be a week at first. Now it’s almost half a month. Where is my son? Where is my son!? Let me tell you, I don’t care where you have tricked him into. I just want my son safe and to stand in front of me! If he doesn’t come back for a day, you won’t be able to enter my house! Don’t even try to come in half-finger! “

It was hard to believe that the shrewish woman’s swearing was from that elegant and noble lady. After a moment of surprise, the two immediately found important clues: their son, half a month, did not come back, where did he go, and the only name — Elder Moreydrea.

It seemed that the assassin named Vyrut hadn’t come back yet? Or maybe it was because he had hidden the secret from his family…Shane thought about it for a while and exchanged a look with Jin Yuan. Then he took him to hide under the shade of a tree on the side and looked out.

Outside the gate of the courtyard stood a tall figure in a white cloak, facing the angry lady. His figure was a head taller than a standard count. He was estimated to be about two meters tall. His thick hood covered his entire face. Except for the huge golden Trident mark on his chest, his whole body was neat as if it was spotless.

The Elder seemed to be very calm in the face of the lady’s anger. He smiled in a low voice and explained in his unique, clear voice, “I’m really sorry, Mrs. Something happened on the way…I have sent someone to take him. I believe that he will come back to you safe soon. “

“Do you think I will believe what you said? Before I see him, you can’t get anything. You can’t get any forgiveness! ” The lady sniffed at his excuse and didn’t want to give in.

“Sir…”The Lord seemed to feel that the situation was too tit for tat. When he was about to say something to ease the tension, the Elder waved his hand to stop him. Shane noticed that he was also wearing a thick protective cloth as if to completely isolate himself from the luxurious world.

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter…”The Elder chuckled again and didn’t insist. “It’s true that I broke my promise before. In that case, I’d better wait for him to come back and apologize…”

After saying that, he touched his chest and made a slight bow. When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw the two princes under the tree and stopped for a second. He seemed to think of something at this moment, but he didn’t say anything. He continued to ignore the blazing sun and slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The last pause of the Elder gave the prince a subtle feeling as if he was caught. He didn’t want to attract the lady’s attention again, so he quickly made a gesture to the Jin Yuan and hurried back to the fountain. The two of them found a chair to the side and ordered two glasses of ice wine. While tasting them slowly, they talked about their plans in a low voice.

After a while, there was a burst of noise in front of the door, and a large group of aristocrats in various clothes were walking in. Looking at the lively rehearsal, the prince knew that today’s protagonist, the candidate for the king, Lord Sistine was finally coming.

He pulled Jin Yuan back to avoid the eyes of the crowd. Hiding under the thick trees, he waited quietly for the opening of the banquet like a Silent Hunter.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
