Chapter 233: Infighting in the Royal Family
February 1st.
West District, Garden Road Park.
Wearing a black suit, jacket and gentleman's hat, Wayne sat on a park bench with a newspaper in his hand, and next to him was his secretary Mona, who was carrying a briefcase.
The princess's knights met in Park Lane Gardens, specifying benches and newspapers as secret codes for the meeting.
A bit childish.
Because the deposit was too high and because of the identity of the guest, Wayne complied with the other party's request.
Before arriving, Wayne called Auston and asked if he could meet.
As the heir to the Landau family, Auston has always asked Wayne to be loyal to the Queen. It is not their time yet for princes and princesses to meet and chat, but don't chat for too long to avoid the Queen misunderstanding.
avoid arousing suspicion.
Wayne understood the reason, so he called Auston. If Auston didn't agree, he would return the deposit and refuse to meet the princess's knight.
Auston agreed and asked Wayne to explore the Princess Knight's tone to first understand the other party's intention to meet.
By the way, he warned the little trash can to keep his mouth shut and don't talk flirtatiously with the princess. He could ignore girls like Chrissy and Willie, 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 vacation villa. Queen Sofilia only wore a pair of white gloves and moved forward. The boyfriend complained that the marriage was boring and that the husband didn’t understand the mood.
Ten months later, Princess Elizabeth was born.
"What am I talking about? They must be having an affair. Go back and tell the teacher and let him continue flying tonight."
Wayne swore to Mona and told Mona the gossip between Auston and the Queen. His words were full of envy. When he talked about his hatred, he slapped his thigh hard.
Mona's head was full of black threads, but because it was Wayne, she didn't refute it. She praised her boss for his rich imagination and it would be a pity not to write novels.
"Even if I write it, I can't publish it. It involves too many important people. It's a banned book."
While lamenting the dark society and being unable to tell the truth, Wayne denounced Auston's double standards. He slept with the queen but did not allow him to sleep with the princess.
It is said that wealth should not go to outsiders. As a father, Auston actually treats his son as an outsider. It 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, Elizabeth Windsor, when this name is mentioned, Wayne can't help but think of a certain Lafayette.
Although he is not alone, he feels uncomfortable just thinking about it, and Little Wayne also feels that something is strange.
Wayne arrived five minutes early, and twenty minutes later, a woman wearing a black coat and holding a briefcase sat on the edge of the bench.
The woman has short blonde hair and a tall figure. There is an unapproachable majesty between her eyebrows, as if she was born with it, and her temperament is cold and cold.
Perhaps because of the teacher's short blond hair, Wayne saw his heroic appearance and had a good impression of him at first sight. He flashed the newspaper in his hand and said, "Wayne, are you my client?"
"No, I'm here to meet with you on behalf of my client."
The woman stretched out her hand, wearing black leather gloves: "Hello, Sir Wayne, Juno Jones, you can call me Knight Jones."
"Okay, Miss Juno."
Wayne shook hands with the other person politely. Seeing that he was about the same age as himself, he guessed that the other person was from the army. He was not only the princess's knight, but also the princess's secretary or maid.
As far as he is concerned, this is generally called a dowry maid.
Gee, he looks really good and has a good figure.
According to Auston, the princess has a fiancé, which makes that beast easier.
Perhaps because Wayne's gaze was too rude, Juno frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Sir Wayne, I investigated your information before coming here. According to reliable information, you are not Mr. Landau's illegitimate son. You are not related by blood. relation."
"so what?"
"Allow me to reserve the right to question intelligence."
"Allow retention."
Wayne nodded. There were so many rumors that he no longer wanted to explain.
It's all Auston's fault. He looks bad, but he insists on being so similar to him. Even Veronica has been complaining recently, joking that she picked her up.
"Sir Wayne..."
"Just call me Wayne. Keep it simple. I'll call you Juno. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Wayne was not familiar with Juno, and he didn't want to refresh her progress bar. He got straight to the point: "According to what you said, you are Princess Elizabeth's knight. Can you prove it? It's nothing else. It's not that I don't believe you. It's a matter of fact." It’s important and needs to be confirmed.”
"As it should be."
Juno opened his briefcase, took out the black telescope, and pointed at the six-story luxury hotel to the west of the park: "Top floor, window in the center."
What do you mean, you ambushed a sniper?
Wayne did not take the telescope, and looked towards the top floor of the hotel with super vision. The surrounding scenery quickly receded, and he saw a blond woman holding a telescope at the middle window.
The woman put down the binoculars, smiled slightly, and waved to Wayne.
Her long blond hair was tied up and she was dressed in formal attire. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Queen Sofilia. She was youthful and beautiful yet mysterious and noble. She was clearly Princess Elizabeth.
The princess smiled and nodded, then closed the window.
Wayne looked away and frowned. The princess nodded three times and then closed the window. He seemed to have read this speed guide somewhere.
"Sir Wayne?"
"Just Wayne, my medal is a knighthood. We are both knights. There is nothing to be polite about."
Wayne said casually: "When the princess becomes the queen, you will also be a dame, and you will be a close minister. Then I will have to count on your kind words."
Juno's expression changed and he said coldly: "Sir Wayne, you are not an ordinary person. You are the heir of the Tulip family. Please do not argue for the throne."
"It's okay. I said similar things to the prince. They were just polite words. The princess won't take them seriously."
"..."
Juno took a deep breath, and in order to keep up with Wayne's pace, her cold face calmed down, she skillfully switched to an official diplomatic expression, and said with a slight smile: "Wayne, I have proven my identity, let's talk next. entrusted."
"Okay, but let's be honest, the identity you represent is extraordinary, and I may not accept this commission." Wayne glanced at Mona, asking her to learn from it and see how they manage it. Expressive.
"As it should be."
Juno didn't waste any time and said bluntly: "According to reliable information from the Ministry of Magic, you had two conflicts with the devil, one in Dragon Heart Island and one in Lundan. The undercover was very successful and provided a lot of information to the Holy See. "
"That's what happened, but I am not familiar with Heavenly Father's Holy See. I have always been loyal to the Minister of Magic. The purpose of providing information is to let the Holy See deal with the devil and weaken the Holy See's effective power in Windsor." Wayne explained his position. .
Mona nodded, this is what undercover is like.
Juno smiled and continued: "On January 5th, the Dawn Detective Agency opposite Wayne Detective Agency was attacked by demons. Mr. Landau reported the information about the arrival of demons from hell to the Ministry of Magic. After that, demons attacked many places of the Ministry of Magic. The stronghold caused a lot of losses..."
"The devil last appeared on January 14th, attacking and defeating Landau Manor."
"There is still a devil lurking in Lundan. I have received accurate information and there are several suspicious targets on hand. I hope Wayne Detective Agency will take over the commission to investigate on my behalf."
Having said this, Juno opened his briefcase, took out a thick document bag, and waited for Wayne's reply.
"You are the knight of the princess. The princess is a member of the royal family. The royal family found clues but did not notify 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, shook his head and said, "It's a bit complicated. Let me just ask, does the Queen know?"
"The Queen may or may not know."
What Schrödinger's Queen, she had an affair with Planck?
Wayne rolled his eyes: "My identity dictates that I can only be loyal to the queen, and I must be loyal to the queen. I thank the princess for her appreciation and ask her to hire someone else. I can't accept this commission."
"Mr. Wayne, regardless of our complicated identities, you are a detective and I am a nosy passerby, that's all." Juno said.
"Disaster!"
Wayne shook his head: "It doesn't matter what you think or what I think. The Queen is the master of the country, and what she thinks is important. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he patted his butt and stood up, wandering to the foot of a tree.
This crooked-necked tree looks really unique and needs to be studied carefully.
As soon as Wayne slapped her butt, Mona knew what position to change. She sat next to Juno and picked up the newspaper for joint connection: "Mona, the golden detective of Wayne Detective Agency, how can I help you?"
Juno was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "I have a commission in my hand. I hope Wayne Detective Agency can help investigate it. Time is tight, 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 looking at the trees.
Mona stood up, pushed up her glasses, and said with a solemn expression: "Boss, the client's situation is very difficult. I can't complete the investigation alone. I hope to work with you to handle the case."
"I really can't do anything to you, so I'll help you..."
Wayne took the document bag and browsed the information carefully. After a moment, he put the document bag back into Mona's arms expressionlessly: "You investigate first. I will go find you tonight and take Miss Juno with me. She must be present throughout the process. Otherwise, don't start work." Juno smiled bitterly on the chair and shook his head. He was too cautious. He must be Auston's illegitimate son.
The two beauties immediately started investigating, but Wayne did not follow. He immediately went to the luxury hotel, put on white gloves and skillfully picked the door and the lock, and entered the suite where the princess was staying.
When the house is empty, a faint scent of perfume remains 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 hot. In addition, there are other smells. There are men and women, they should be bodyguards..."
There are many possibilities, but without being able to confirm it with his own eyes, Wayne did some reasoning and did not jump to any conclusion.
…
"Based on the smell of the scene, I am very sure that the princess is very pure and did not have a party in the suite."
The camera turned to the Landau Manor, where Wayne analyzed his guesses rationally. Auston's face was expressionless and the smile gradually disappeared from his face.
After working for a long time, you only found this?
"I also wanted to check other things, but there was no hair left at the scene, and no one used the bathroom. Not to mention a piece of toilet paper, not even a single fingerprint was left."
Wayne said curiously: "Whether the other party is a real princess, we can't make a conclusion at the moment, but the information provided by Juno Knight is very interesting. One of the targets of the investigation is Prince Edward. We might as well be bolder. The other targets are all fake, Princess The only target of the investigation is the prince."
"Queen……"
"I asked, and the Queen may or may not know."
Wayne blinked and said excitedly: "Assuming that the queen knew about it and delegated the power to the princess to investigate, the princess was worried that the impact would be bad and it would be a stain on her ascension to the throne, so she did not go through the official process."
"Auston, we hope for the stars and the moon, but finally we are waiting for the royal family to fight!"
Auston: (_)
Damn it, he didn’t expect civil strife in the royal family.
Besides, what kind of infighting is this? Just like Prince Edward, as long as the queen is not crazy, the next king will still be the queen.
Auston finally saw that the heir chosen by his wife and daughter was rebellious and had no respect for the royal family at all.
Although he doesn't respect it that much and puts his family before the royal family, he has good acting skills and has never wanted to watch the excitement of the royal family.
"Don't say such nonsense in the future. Your acting skills are so good. Is it difficult to pretend to be a loyal and patriotic knight?"
"There are no outsiders here..."
In the middle of his words, Wayne looked at the study door outside the soundproof barrier: "Neither Megan, they are all our own, so tell the truth, is Princess Elizabeth Veronica's sister?"
"How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible? They are so similar, almost exactly the same."
"ah?"
"The hairstyle is exactly the same."
"..."
Auston was too lazy to talk to Wayne and simply said: "Let your secretary investigate. Don't do anything. The water is too deep. If you can't help it, don't come forward. Even if you do come forward, you can't use your current face."
"Dark Knight?"
"..."
"Okay, I see what you mean."
Wayne asked for trouble, shrugged, and asked in a different way: "Assuming that the previous speculation is true, the princess has been authorized by the queen to secretly investigate whether Prince Edward is involved with the devil. Why is the princess looking for me? Are you not prepared? Please explain?"
The meaning of Wayne's words is very simple. Why does the princess have to find the Landau family? Has the princess guessed who her biological father is?
"Let me say it 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 a chance to spread rumors, and then frowned. He had not thought about this question.
"Have you not figured it out?"
"Um."
"Let me remind you, think about the princess's birthday. Did the protective measures not be taken well that night?"
It’s endless, right?
Auston held the ancient silver coin tightly: "That's enough. Let your secretary investigate. You are not allowed to participate. The investigators of the Church of Nature are still in Lundan. Don't get too close to the royal family."
Wayne was greatly disappointed when he failed to get the results he wanted, but he didn't care. He would tell the teacher the truth later and clarify the father-daughter relationship between Auston and the princess.
…
Wayne left the study, intending to go home directly, but met Monica who was lost, and was caught by Veronica following him all the way.
Because of the crystal ball, Veronica was in a great mood and rewarded Wayne for two hours.
The dragon-blooded girl's reward method is quite different. Different from ordinary girls, her way of expressing intimacy is with fists. She dragged Wayne to the underground base and sparred for two hours.
Wayne was sweating profusely and went to take a dip in the bathtub of the eldest lady's villa.
When he was waiting for him to leave Landau Manor, it was already six o'clock in the evening. He walked through the sewer to the area near Mona's house, took out the key to open the door, and reached the second floor by a familiar route.
There was a noise from the bathroom, and Wayne looked at his fragrant self and decided to take a dip again.
"boss."
Just as he unbuttoned, Mona's voice came from the side.
Wayne looked strange and pointed to the bathroom. Who was in there, his best friend Nancy?
"It's Ms. Juno."
"How did you bring her home?" Wayne wondered.
"Boss, you requested that Juno must be present during the investigation." Mona blinked and pointed to the next room.
Wayne didn't know what she meant, so he followed her out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, there was a soundproof barrier when he entered the door.
"Hiss--"
"What, did you find out anything today?"
"The investigation is progressing very quickly. Several small targets have been eliminated, leaving only Prince Edward." Mona said unclearly.
"I knew..."
Wayne frowned. The princess dragged the Landau family into trouble under the guise of investigating the devil. She didn't have ulterior motives, but she definitely had bad intentions.
This is bad, the Death Knight can't make extra money, and the Dark Knight can't get any kickbacks.
Maybe you can investigate as a death knight.
"Mona, don't be too active in the investigation of the prince. You are an excellent detective. If you find clues or suspicious places, leave it to Juno for reasoning. If she is a fool, guide her to reason." Wayne said concisely and to the point, letting Mo Na, don't rush to the front.
"Is she pretending to be stupid?"
"Then just delay, she must be more anxious than you."
"..."
Mona couldn't agree. 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. When you meet me, remember to pretend that you don't know me." Wayne patted his head: "Investigate the prince's itinerary, where he often stays recently, who is around him, and find a way Ask Juno to provide information and hand it over to me as soon as possible."
"clear."
————
At the same time, Prince Edward, whom Wayne regarded as one of his own, was in the villa exchanging ideas with the beauty.
The black-haired beauty's name was Xander, a distant relative of Mayor Angelo. Prince Edward insisted on being shameless and finally embraced the beauty, allowing Xander to climb onto his high limbs.
For example, now, the two of them are having a fierce battle, and Edward is holding the beauty in his arms, feeling that his life has reached its peak.
He was extremely obsessed with Xiangde and once said to his face that if he had not already been engaged and his fiancée's family was not easy to mess with, he would have dared to break off the engagement and take Xiangde as his princess.
Immediately afterwards, Edward expressed that he would give true love a status and that his fiancée would understand his difficulties.
To put it simply, the red flag does not fall down at home, but the colorful flags flutter outside.
Edward promised Shande that his fiancée would turn a blind eye because it was a political marriage and the relationship was quite ordinary. This would be beneficial to everyone.
"Edward, it's my birthday in a few days."
Xiang De narrowed his eyes and said: "I know you have prepared a surprise for me. I accept your love. I will treasure this love without having to worry about it. After all...she will be angry if she knows about it. I don't want to be the third person who interferes." ”
"Xiang De, I promise there will be no birthday party and no messy guests. It's just a small party. They are all my friends. You should meet them."
"Really?"
"Of course, I can still lie to you!"
