Chapter 674 71. The Fake Princess
Annan came to Huadu City Lord’s Mansion for the first time.
Before, he had no qualifications. Even if he said that he was the city lord of the "Free City", officials would only ask confused questions about where that place was.
It’s different now. The southern countries already knew what Annan was doing in Yiwen City and spread the news to Huadu. When Annan came to the door of the city lord's palace and revealed his identity, he was welcomed in as the queen's knight.
Annan saw the princess.
"We meet again."
She was sitting in a garden surrounded by flowers, still beautiful...but she was just a girl of noble status, without the...compassion and devotion of a real princess.
In Annan's heart, the princess who lost her left eye, her right arm, and finally her soul was countless times more beautiful than her.
"I didn't know you were the princess's wife..." the princess stood up and blamed herself.
Annan said nothing, and his eyes fell on the housekeeper standing next to him.
"He is my servant," said the princess.
"It doesn't matter, the misunderstanding has been resolved." Annan said, "But in front of other people, you can just call me a knight."
"Okay...knight."
"The princess should have told you everything, right?"
"Yes, you...you met the real princess in Lost City, was awarded a knight, and eliminated the weird things in Lost City alone. .”
No wonder the fake princess was nervous about Annan's arrival. The Scarlet Princess boasted a lot for Annan.
Annan said directly: "Prince, I still have some tasks in Huadu, so I can't stay with you all the time."
The fake princess looked relieved: "What's the matter? Can I help you?"
"Of course."
Annan is here for this: "Happy water is my industry, and I need you to speak for it. I want to warn the nine major wine merchants, I don’t want to see them causing trouble. I still need a theater. Jinnaer is not a problem, but it needs to be done before the celebration, and then introduce me to some nobles who have their own territories..."
The fake princess showed confusion at Annan's list of requests: "Uh...are these all the princess's requests?"
"I mean what the princess means."
"Okay ..."
"Then I will go back. Good night, Your Highness."
"Good night."
The fake princess said goodbye softly and watched Annan leave the garden.
"Did you see it? He doesn't have any respect for you." The 'housekeeper' standing behind showed a snake-like cold smile, "They don't believe you at all, and they even sent a 'knight' to monitor you. You..."
The "Butler" stopped abruptly, quickly lost his coldness and put on a respectful smile.
Annan, who returned, glanced at the housekeeper suspiciously, and said to the princess: "I forgot to tell you that the princess lent me the real Ring of Lost City before, so remember not to expose the secret."
< br>The fake princess lowered her head and looked at the fake Lost City ring on her fingers as delicate as suet.
Annan left again, and the "butler" said to the fake princess who bowed her head: "Do you believe he has seen the real princess? Can the subordinates of that useless princess get in touch with the real princess? Maybe he is just like you, just making it up to deceive others. Jie Jie Jie..."
The laughter of the "butler" disappeared again, because Annan left and returned.
"It's not good to laugh like that." Annan said to the butler, "I heard your cunning laughter like an old crow in the distance."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency Knight ." "Butler" lowered his head.
"Is there anything else?" the fake princess had to ask.
"No, it was his laughter that attracted me." Annan pointed at the silent butler.
......
Did Princess Crimson send a weird butler to follow the fake princess? Annan thought on the way back.
The reception official was waiting for him in front of the garden and took Annan to the hall.
The nobles and officials from Huadu rushed over. They wanted to know what happened in Wenwen City.
"I have told you everything that needs to be said..."
After Annan told what happened in Lost City, their doubts did not disappear.
One of the lion-like knights leader questioned who Annan really was.
"I will only say it once." Annan raised his head, because it was too long, "I am Annan·King of the North·Raven Nemesis·Rat Hunting Champion·Lord of the Floating City·Champion Warlock· Dungeon Keeper·King of Hide and Seek·Monster Goodwill Messenger·Queen Knight·Reeves..."
"What are you talking about..."
A bunch of big shots were stunned, and the leader of the Knights asked: "I mean how do you prove your identity!"
"I just got the news from the princess. Come out." Annan gave him a little thumbs up.
Everyone can see Annan's confidence - no one is closer to the princess than him.
The leader of the Knights said angrily: "Are you contemptuous of me?"
"I just want to show you my finger that has the Ring of Lost City on it."
"Okay, he is the hero who purified Lost City, not your prisoner." A gentle tone intervened. , the deputy city lord stood between the two of them and explained to Annan: "We just want to know what's going on in Yiwen City..."
"I actually don't know more than you do..."
The smell of gunpowder at the banquet disappeared, but Annan still had to answer some questions, such as those missing people...
Annan answered all questions I don’t know, but he told me about the outcome of the Archbishop of Valencia Everyone.
Valencia was not a competent father, but his loyalty to the church and Lost City was lamentable. Even the head of the Knights lowered his head to show respect.
There was also an acquaintance among the participants in this party, which was neither a banquet nor a parliament, Fatima Sailer.
Because of her relationship with the princess and her acquaintance with Annan, she was also invited.
"You are actually the princess's knight..." Fatima Sailer seemed to still be dreaming.
Annan could only deceive this poor girl first: "The princess won't let me tell you."
"Then..."
"You want to ask your aunt? She was killed by something strange."
Both princesses did not explain where the nobles in the front hall had gone, but "Sister "Said something strange once broke in... You don't need to guess to know.
Fatima Sailer was knocked awake by a hammer and stood there stunned.
Annan was a little surprised. Judging from her reaction, it seemed that she had a good relationship with her aunt...
He thought that Ms. Alyssa, who was bringing her niece to serve him, did not have a good relationship with her...
"I have told you everything I know. If you have any questions, you can come to the Old City Tavern. Find me." Annan said goodbye to them and walked outside the city lord's mansion.
He bumped into a figure coming in at the door. It was a pair of amber eyes that Annan could not forget.
The moment he saw her, Annan suddenly realized that Valencia’s real gift was not his own body, but the memory itself...
Correspondingly, Valencia inherited Valencia’s Archbishop of Lencia Annan could hardly sit idly by on January 17th when he saw Colette.
The cunning old fox...
Colette was also looking at Annan, and she recognized him as the young man she saw earlier today.
"Have we met somewhere?"
