In a hurry, Yu Yuan reluctantly pushed Fernando aside and stood up to explain to Durand.

"Me and Fernando, uh..." Rao Shi knows how to make up nonsense, and Yu Yuan couldn't help but get stuck. But Durand's figure holding an oil lamp was unusually silent, and half of his face was in the shadows, making it dark and unclear.

The more anxious he was, the faster he spoke, Yu Yuan complained to Lin Ling, "Shouldn't he say that you don't need to explain anything in this situation?"

Lin Ling chuckled: "Why didn't you wait for him to say, 'I forgive you'."

Yu Yuan is very elegant and easy-going: "...Shut up."

While Yu Yuan was still thinking about his words, Durand slowly approached, and Fernando, the second person involved, remained in a coma. Yu Yuan scolded him eight hundred times in his heart, and he fainted and was relieved.

Lin Ling: "I have to say, not only do you have loose hair, but your clothes are also messy."

Yu Yuan woke up like a dream and quickly sorted out his clothes. Heaven and earth conscience, these are the clothes that Fernando just messed up when he wanted to touch the article behind him.

But Durand's eyes... Yu Yuan felt as if he had died eight hundred times in front of the cub he was about to raise.

Instead of continuing to hide it, it's better to just say something and really go out and divert your attention. Yu Yuan thought this, and said immediately, "Fernando wants to check the pattern on my back."

Durand knew about this last time and asked him about it.

However, Yu Yuan's little plan failed, and Durand did not go down as he wished to ask him what the pattern was behind him, and why the new king kept entangled in this issue. Instead, with a gloomy expression, he said a word that was exactly the same as last time: "He forced you."

Yu Yuan: "..." Cubs! Is that all you have left of my relationship with him? ? ?

Lin Ling: "Your cub's thinking is useless, let's get a new one."

"No." Yu Yuanyi said sternly, "We just check the relationship between the patterns on the back."

He stepped forward and pulled Durand's hand, Durand seemed stunned, but he still went.

"Go down first, and I'll explain it to you later." Yu Yuan grabbed Durand's hand with both hands, very sincere.

On the other side, Fernando, who seemed to have passed out, was lying in the corner surrounded by iron chains.

Durand looked at the room with gentle eyes again, the dim room, the two people who appeared here, and...the people in front of him looked pitiful.

Maybe a talent, but Durand could tell at a glance that it was fake. So what should the real situation look like? The other party enjoys this secret feeling very much, or he has met Fernando here more than once, or, is he using his original real appearance, or is it now...

Durand thought quietly.

After the person in front of him made another request to leave here first, he smiled and said, "Let's go, Edith."

The stairs of the tower were very quiet. Durand walked sideways in front, holding the oil lamp in one hand and the hand of the person behind him in the other. As if they had made an appointment, no one spoke first.

"You guys are changing the script from the kindergarten raising cubs now?" Lin Ling humorously said: "Yes, the prince rescues the princess, the dragon is trapped in the cage, the standard script, tip is the villain no matter what.

"Shut up, don't spread rumors about the little prince." Yu Yuan is really in the stage of raising cubs now.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of "Fernando will never find out", Yu Yuan took Durand to a study of his own, and returned immediately after finishing his clothes. What he wants to communicate with Durand is the direction of his next efforts, which can not only divert the previous topic, but also continue to advance the task of [King Stage One].

But Durand lacked interest, and when he heard the Queen mention that he needed to win over a certain noble, he finally couldn't help it.

"Fernando did that to you, is it in your plan?"

The front foot had just finished bragging to Lin Ling about how tolerant and generous the little prince was, and the back foot heard such words, Yu Yuan almost couldn't get up, "How is it possible? Why do you think so, did someone tell you... …”

"I don't believe any rumors." Durand interrupted him. "It's just my own feelings, Edith. I don't want to offend you, but if this is really your plan, I hope you will give up."

Yu Yuan sighed in his heart, and also admired the gentleness and silence of the little prince on the outside, yet there is such a detailed and complex brain circuit inside.

"No, as I said, Fernando just wanted to check the pattern on my back."

Durand folded his hands and sat back in the sofa chair. "What's on the back?"

"...A pattern of a spell formation, I don't know the specifics." Yu Yuan didn't say much.

"Edith." Durand's eyes suddenly became serious, "If I say I have a way, would you let me see the pattern?"

"Okay." Yu Yuan rubbed his temples with some headache, joking that the relationship between the two of them is at least the queen and the prince in name, "This question comes here first, don't think about it again, tomorrow you will still be I have to go to the Knights to train."

That's what it means to chase people away.

Durand, of course, understood, got up and saluted before leaving.

Before opening the door, Yu Yuan saw that Durand was a little gloomy, but in the end he softened a bit and instructed: "Be careful on the way back."

"Ok."

Everything seems to be working fine.

Early the next morning.

After a break and going online again, the first person I saw was Nancy, who brought her breakfast to the room as she always did. However, Yu Yuan keenly noticed that Nancy's expression seemed a little unusual.

He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Nancy hesitated for a while before slowly opening her mouth: "Your Highness the Queen, don't you know what happened last night?"

"Last night? I didn't notice anything?" He took a sip of the milk. "Just say it."

Nancy: "The body of a servant and a knight was found over there in the West Castle. Now that His Majesty the King knows about it, he is starting to investigate the clues..."

Her face was very ugly, not only because she died, but also because she died in the palace. After the news came out this morning, almost the entire palace was shocked, and this atmosphere should spread to the palace soon. within the range.

Hearing the key words, Yu Yuan's brain immediately made a "hum", and he didn't pay attention to the following description.

West Castle, is it a coincidence... the southwest tower is in this area.

He quickly grabbed Nancy's sleeve and asked, "What time did it happen?"

"I heard that the body was found after twelve o'clock. I don't know about the rest."

Yu Yuan's face darkened immediately.

"His Royal Highness?" Nancy saw that the queen was a little distracted, so she reminded: "I also want to tell you the will of His Majesty the King. From today onwards, the palace must be under martial law, and the traffic must be strictly checked until it is found. Your Majesty said it specially, for your sake. For the sake of their safety, I won't be able to go out any more in the near future."

This is simply a disguised ban.

"I know, you go down first."

As soon as Nancy left, Yu Yuan immediately got out of bed and went to the desk to take out a piece of paper and began to organize the timeline.

At twelve o'clock, he went to the tower at ten thirty in the evening. When he came out, he deliberately checked the time. At most, it was only eleven o'clock. After talking with Durand, it was almost half past eleven.

There are guards patrolling the palace all the time, even in a place near the southwest tower where few people pass by, there must be guards patrolling on the hour.

......The time when these two people died, I am afraid it was very close to the time when he, Durand, and Fernando appeared in the southwest tower.

As he wrote, he suddenly had a bad suspicion.

"Monsters, or people with the blood of monsters, do they attack ordinary people?" Yu Yuan always likes to talk to himself when he talks to Lin Ling a lot, "Fernando locks himself in the tower every once in a while with chains, And let that steward lock the door of the tower..."

On the one hand, being locked up must be because you can't control yourself—could it be because you can't control the urge to hurt someone? Yu Yuan recalled Fernando's terrifying expression last night, and it was unfortunate that he was the one who went to the tower last night and happened to bump into Fernando and break free from the chains.

On the other hand, Nancy did not say the identity of the person who died, a servant and a knight, should it be the steward...

"Lin Ling." Yu Yuan could only ask the other party for help, "Is this part of the normal plot of the game?"

"That's right." Lin Ling said, "I told you early on in the beginning that this game is a bit suspenseful. You'd better find a way to investigate it clearly. This will affect the final outcome."

Yu Yuan had to go and have a look, but there was still a more critical question - what happened after the little prince?

After Yu Yuan went out, he called Nancy again and asked Nancy to try to invite Princess Madeleine over. About an hour later, he saw the little princess.

The meeting was no longer as unfamiliar as it was at first, the little princess seemed very warm, Yu Yuan half bent over and looked at the little princess.

"Madeline, do you remember what we discussed yesterday? You told me that you also want to go to the Knights to learn swordsmanship."

Madeleine nodded heavily, which was what she had always wanted to do, and the Queen was the first and only one to agree with her.

"Your brother Durand is studying in the Knights at a fixed time every day. Next, I will arrange for someone to send you to the Knights every day. You can study with the teacher, okay?" Yu Yuan said softly: "Only one point, if Durand needs you to send a message to Can you help him while I'm here?"

"Of course no problem." Madeleine agreed with a smile.

This problem seems to be solved this way.

When Madeleine first mentioned that she wanted to go to the Knights, Yu Yuan realized that this might be a kind of help set up in the game to help him, the "queen", to cover up, so as to reduce Fernando's concern for his frequent outings. Doubt. But now, the problem of being grounded happens to be hit, which is also a solution to the urgent need.

After seeing Madeleine away, Yu Yuan had to see what happened to the unexpected accident last night.

The body was temporarily stored in the ice cellar near the church. Yu Yuan, who went there, was blocked by the knights, claiming that His Majesty had given a death order, and no one could go in and check without his will.

But Yu Yuan naturally had other channels, at least he could learn about the specific situation. After a while, he found a priest who was in charge of assisting in this matter early in the morning. Yu Yuan could see the information unfolded on the top of the other party's head, and it could be seen that he was a character who had a good impression of both the crown prince and the queen.

"The two people who died are very young. The footman should be in charge of cleaning the west castle, and the knight is also the one in charge of that." Inside the church, the priest slowly started his story, rubbing his beard from time to time, "Yesterday In the early morning, I helped open the ice cellar door, and also checked the remains. The cause of death of the two people was exactly the same, and they were both pierced through the heart by a sharp weapon..."

Yu Yuan, who had already begun to suspect that "Fernando in an irrational state was the murderer", didn't know whether he should be glad that the dead servant was not the one in charge, and the cause of death did not seem to be an unreasonable method of killing, at least the priest's. Judging from the judgment, it is a one-shot kill with a sharp weapon, and it should be the most common kind of dagger. This kind of thing is hidden on the body, it is not easy to be found at all, and it is easy to carry.

It was only Fernando who appeared in the West Tower before the incident last night. Durand and him. If it wasn't related to Fernando, it couldn't possibly be related to Durand? Or is it because he thought too much, this murder that happened in the palace was another clue that actually had nothing to do with the two of them?

If he hadn't witnessed Fernando being influenced by the blood of the monster, his rationality was completely out of rage, and the records of some of his violent behavior during the Legion, Yu Yuan might not have associated a king with this kind of thing.

After politely saying goodbye to the priest and leaving the church, Yu Yuan still had no idea, and his suspicions about Fernando went up and down.

He always felt that he had missed some clues, just like he didn't realize that the ghost Daisy might not only lead to Fernando's problems, but also represent that other characters may become ghosts.

......ghost?

He "saw" Wells' ghost last night, and Princess Madeleine, who didn't understand anything, could see her father for some reason, so she sent a message for him.

The last sentence... that sentence suddenly echoed in his ear.

- Stay away from Fernando.

But in line with the principle that you will die if you don't die in the game, and that prohibition is a reminder, Yu Yuan went directly to see Fernando who had taken off his blindfold and was going through a certain painful period alone last night.

keep away.

Is it a real hint, or is Fernando's aggressiveness really that strong...

In the end, the case temporarily ended with insufficient clues and no further investigation. When he got this news, Yu Yuan remembered the name of this copy "The Haze of the Kingdom". He originally thought that the "haze" was referring to Fernando, but now it seems that the haze is the breath of the dead.

But the "becoming king" plan for the little prince has to go on.

It had been a while since Yu Yuan went to the Knights’ territory again, and now, Eugene alone served as the teacher of the two.

Before the sun went down that day, Eugene specially came to see the queen and said that he had something to tell.

"That girl, her talent is better." Although Eugene can speak the language here, he still likes to use the language that only they can understand when talking to the queen, "Since they are all your children, why not Focus on nurturing that girl?"

Yu Yuan knew that he was talking about Madeleine, and smiled helplessly: "First of all, I have only a nominal relationship with the two of them, and I just hope you can teach them both."

"No, I understand something." Eugene gestured habitually, "That Durand is the crown prince, but the little girl is just a princess." Prince, crown prince, is a different concept.

"In our country, girls can too," Eugene continued.

"It's not my decision, it's His Majesty's choice." Yu Yuan was a little helpless, seeing that he still wanted to talk about this, he had to change the subject, "Eugene, how good are you in stealth? Sample?"

When he first saw this young man, he felt that he was more like an assassin than a traditional swordsman like Howard.

Eugene nodded.

"There is one thing I can only think of that you can do. I don't know if you are willing to take on this task." Yu Yuan explained the general plan, and then said: "I can give you a very generous reward, you can ask for whatever price you want. "

Hearing this, Lin Lingxian said, "You have changed. You are no longer the stingy who hesitates to buy Eugene for five thousand gold coins."

Yu Yuanquan didn't hear it, "If you want, I hope you can go in a couple of days."

"You want me to steal a document?" Eugene felt a little unbelievable. "But you are not the queen, so what is in the palace hiding from you?"

"It's not stealing, it's just borrowing. Strictly speaking, it's the last record report of the former King Wells. There really shouldn't be any secrets between me and him, right?" Yu Yuan smiled.

He naturally saw that Eugene had a high trust value in him now, so he chose to let the other party execute this matter.

"...I'll see you here the day after tomorrow." Eugene no longer hesitated, and took the map drawing handed over by the queen.

In doing this, Yu Yuan just wanted to confirm one important thing that had not been determined before, and that was whether the cause of Wells' death was normal?

There are all kinds of rumors among the nobles. Although it is claimed to be a violent illness, some people have long thought that Fernando is in the middle, and some think that it is his queen. What's more, even Durand has brought in the conspiracy theory, and there are two or two combinations. Conspiracy to commit crimes, etc., these rumors Yu Yuan has collected.

As long as the cause of death is determined, part of the doubt can be solved.

On the way back, Lin Ling seemed to remember something and asked, "You asked Wu Xing to steal the documents because you wanted to investigate the real cause of death of your ex-husband?"

"Otherwise? The documents are stored in the king's room. Fernando is using them now. How can I get them." He had to rely on this to get more clues.

Lin Ling said quietly: "But you don't have Madeleine. Since she can see your ex-husband's ghost, why didn't she ask her for help? He didn't know better than others how he died?"

"..." Seems to have found some blind spot.

"Friend, do you think this is a pen fairy? Is it possible that you can't ask the cause of death."

"Forget it, don't mention Madeleine's sadness." Yu Yuan looked out the window of the carriage, "The money has been paid, let Eugene go check it out."

Lin Ling: "...As expected, it's because you spent money, you don't even let go of the virtual gold coins in the game."

"You said that he is a rare five-star character." Yu Yuan felt angina, "Five thousand gold coins, I can't make the most of it."
