Chapter 234 I’m not a devil either
“This is actually an open secret of the Rand royal family. You are not in Norin, and you rarely come into contact with these trivial matters, so you don’t know the inside story.”
Wa. Seeing that Lynch was a little confused, Miss Lunt explained in a low voice:
"Prince William is the eldest son of the King, but Princess Sofia is the eldest princess. Theoretically, the position of Crown Prince Rand should belong to His Royal Highness William, but it is not against the law for Princess Sofia to be the crown prince."
Lynch blinked Blinking, there was only one thought in my mind: What is she talking about? Is it really Randwen?
Miss Valente gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, pressed her forehead and sighed in despair: "Well, in short, both of them are actually qualified to become crown princes, but Prince William's legal basis is more solid. , Princess Sofia is not interested in fighting for it, so he has always been the future crown prince, and it is expected that he will be officially crowned with the title of crown prince at the end of July.”
"So?"
"But His Majesty Rudolf II is actually not satisfied with him. Otherwise, he would have been crowned Crown Prince long ago, and it would not have been delayed until now. Although he has decided to canonize him now, His Majesty is still there In her prime, Princess Sophia is also young, and something might happen to her in the next twenty or thirty years. He might be replaced by His Majesty one day. "
"His, so he wants to kill his father. Dear?”
"Of course you can't openly kill your father. That would be tantamount to challenging the aristocratic order of the world. It's also dangerous to do it secretly. It's too easy to see the clues. And Rudolf II is not someone who can be easily plotted."
Lin Qi looked stern and realized the implication of Miss Valente: "After the canonization, he will have the status of crown prince, and then he will clone his father and sister, and the clone princess will kill the fake king in public, so that he can have nothing The obstacle is His Majesty William IV."
Miss Valente nodded and said: "Yes, the mysterious things in the royal capital are in charge of the watchers. It is easy to do this through other mysterious objects. It can be found, but this mirror is difficult to trace based on its description, but the premise is that the replica can really find this advent-level wonder. It is just a legend that has been around for thousands of years. Why do they believe so much that they do not hesitate to spend such a high price. Looking for it? ”
"I'm afraid it's the other way around." Lynch sighed, and after turning on the phantom sound, whispered in Miss Valente's ear, "I didn't tell you the reason why I investigated the railway project plan before. I will tell you later. Please explain in detail. In short, I suspect that Prince William and the others wanted to find the mirror through this plan, but found that they had to rely on the replica gem, so they issued a high reward."
"That can be said. Got it." Miss Valente covered her mouth with a folding fan and said softly, "You'd better be careful about this princess. She is not as honest as she appears. Although she has admitted defeat and is indeed scared, her defense is not complete yet. Being breached, there is something hidden in the words.”
“Huh?”
"I'll do it."
Miss Valente did not answer, but blinked narrowly at Lynch. When she turned to Princess Chloe again, her expression had become dignified and graceful.
"You also thought of this possibility and made up your mind to do this, Your Highness Chloe. Oh, let's talk about business now, so let's collect your tears first. As a noble lady who has been in the royal family for a long time, Son, if you were crying like this because of this little grievance, you would have cried until you were dehydrated. If you are afraid, you will be afraid. If you admit your mistake, you will admit it. If you admit defeat, you will not forget to use some tricks. You are looking down on the education of our Valente family. As the eldest daughter of the Valente family, can’t I see your thoughts?”
Miss Valente looked at Princess Chloe with playful eyes, her expression was indifferent and her tone was indifferent, but there seemed to be a needle hidden in every word:
“I am willing to express my grievances and fears. You come out and are willing to pretend to be obedient and tamed, just to give Mr. Lynch a sense of revenge and accomplishment, to no longer care about your previous offenses, and not to disclose what you did in anger. It seems that you are really afraid. I just put away your ridiculous arrogance, but do you really think that pretending to be pitiful will help Mr. Lynch? He just thinks that you still care about innocent people, that you still have humanity, and that you are really scared and can't bear it. I’m just trying to scare you. If you really think he can’t see your intentions, I don’t mind asking you to recognize yourself.”
No, I really don’t see it. Who knows that you big nobles can’t see it. A fourteen-year-old or a fifteen-year-old kid is so smart that he doesn't forget to play some tricks in this situation.
As expected of you, Lynch's eyes almost sparkled when he looked at Miss Valente. I am just a detective analyzing the case. If I really want to use tricks to figure out people's hearts, I have to rely on you.
Miss Valente seemed to understand Lynch's eyes. She avoided Chloe's gaze and gave Lynch a slightly proud look. Chloe didn't notice the two of them. She just glanced at the two of them dejectedly, shrank her body back, lowered her head with no arrogance, and muttered: "I'm sorry."
"Oh, what you just said I only told half of it and left half of it, but I can’t blame you. I’ll fill it in for you if it’s inconvenient to tell you.”
Seeing that Chloe was completely honest, Miss Valente smiled and said casually:
"You must be aware of the possibility I just mentioned, and you have even asked the Salt royal family for permission. And they ask you to lend the replica to His Majesty William. On the one hand, they want to ensure the smooth progress of the railway project. But on the other hand, they hope that Rand will cause chaos. It will affect others, and the Russell family will definitely not be able to affect them in the New World, but you are in Rand, and you will definitely be the first to be affected."
Princess Chloe crossed her arms and leaned back again. He leaned back and lowered his head.
"You don't dare to disobey the royal family's orders, and you don't want to offend Prince William and undermine your cooperation. You are also worried that the Rose Family will secretly target you after the incident. You are also worried that something will happen to the Advent-level rare item and cause a huge disaster. You will be burdened with countless innocent people. His soul became the sinner of the world, so he came up with this way to deceive everyone. But I don’t understand why you and Count Lorende treated Mr. Lynch like that the night before?” br>
Princess Chloe lowered her head and was silent for a while. She glanced at Lynch and Miss Valente timidly, and then said honestly: "I don't know what their plans are, it's just that I want to cause some trouble for them and kick out the candidate they recommended."
"That's why I don't like you," Lynch sighed, "It's not because of you. You provoked me because of your attitude. Maybe you have a very valid reason and a lofty goal, but in the process of moving towards your goal, you don't even consider the life and death of others, and you don't consider kicking me out. Will the method cause irreparable losses to me? To put it directly, it is to achieve the goal by any means. In my opinion, there is no essential difference between you and Prince William.”
"Die by horseback riding, die by eating, die by sleeping, die by bathing, die by climbing mountains, die by fishing..." Princess Chloe said self-deprecatingly, "Living in the royal family, you may encounter new ways of death at any time, and it is difficult for people who consider the means to survive. Adult." "Well, I can understand it, but I can't accept it." Lynch shook his head and said, "But considering the matter, I don't object to your purpose, and you just made an admission, whether it was pretending or not. Even though I was forced to apologize, half of my anger has gone away, so at least this time I don’t intend to announce the matter and ruin your plans. We’ll talk about the future later.”
< br>
Princess Chloe bit her lip and nodded slightly in approval: "Thank you, and you are right, my behavior may indeed be inappropriate, I am really sorry."
"Okay, now that a consensus has been reached, let me ask you now whether the replica is in your hands now."
"Yes."
"Count Lorende knows ”
"Only I know."
"Very good, then keep it and don't let anyone know its existence. Now, this thing is the real replica."
Lin Qi picked up the flaming red lips on the table and said with a sinister smile:
"Let me handle this. I'm thinking about how to make it naturally snatched away by the Rangers and Howard's people. I wanted to sell it to them at a high price, but that might arouse their suspicion, so I'd better let them do it themselves. It is safer to steal it, but no matter what method is used, it will be returned to them in the end. Why is this thing so important to them? It is better to let them use it to carry out their plans. After all, I am not a devil and don't like to destroy others. As for whether they can find what they want in the end and whether the price paid is in vain, it is none of my business."
Miss Valente immediately moved to the side. Move, stay away, Lynch suspected that the girl was planning to ask the driver to call the police.
“This is good for everyone, but Princess, you should inform Alice and the others that the things must be handed over to them at least until the end of July, otherwise they will be coveted by Prince William and the Deep Divers. "It's a huge hidden danger." Lin Qi thought for a while, then sighed and said, "If you don't object, let's just make this decision. It's just a pity."
"What?"
Lynch leaned into Miss Valente's ear and said: "There should have been a chance to find out in advance what conspiracy they were brewing and to determine whether their target was that mirror. Unfortunately, the railway The important information of the plan was completely destroyed by the fire, and the photos were also destroyed due to Mr. Kling's distortion. I can only think of other ways to investigate, but I can't confirm it in advance. I don't feel comfortable returning this gem to them. "Be practical."
Miss Valente looked at Lynch with a strange expression: "You are referring to the railway plan information and accident files in the archives of the Hall of Order."
"Yes, you also know about their existence?" Lin Qi suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "That day you put on makeup and went to the Hall of Order, weren't you just going to look up the information?"
Miss Valente nodded.
Lin Qi's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked expectantly: "Did you record the contents? For example, take photos or something like that."
Miss Valente shook her head: "No, I didn't remember anything."
The hopes that had just been raised were dashed again. Lynch sighed with deep disappointment, and then listened to the girl continue talking. Go down.
“I felt it was troublesome that day, so I asked someone to send all those materials home, and then I left the Hall of Order.”
What the hell?
“The thing I have been looking for for half a month has actually been in your hands?”
Lin Qi felt a little dizzy for a moment, but thinking about the timing of this girl’s appearance that day, it was unexpected reasonable.
"That's right." Miss Valente tilted her head and supported her chin, also looking surprised, "You didn't say you were looking for those things. They were in the library next to your guest room last night, and you slept with them. One night?”
? ? ?
Holy shit!
