Chapter 690 87. The Goddess’s Favor
“Sorry, we are late.”
Annan and the princess came to the banquet hall.
Magic lamps are embedded in the towering ceiling, like bright stars in the night sky, shrouding the entire hall in soft light. The musicians were playing music in the corner, and the melodious melody was like a variation of "My Heart Will Go On".
The real big shots are scattered throughout the hall, and the tables are filled with many delicacies that even Annan has never heard of.
The deputy city lord stood at the door like a doorman, greeting the arriving guests.
When he saw the princess wearing a gray robe, her eyes covered with a ribbon, and her gray hair dragging her arm around Annan, the deputy city lord was slightly stunned: "What's wrong with the princess?"
"The princess is feeling unwell. , but this banquet is very important."
Because the fake princess was kidnapped, Annan had to let the real princess play herself...
"It is indeed very important..." The deputy city lord hid his emotions. Then he looked at Itilia next to him: "Who is this?"
"My sister, the Vice City Lord of Liberty City, Itilia Reeves."
"Hello, Miss Itilia." The Deputy City Lord nodded, he raised his head and looked at Annan: "Today The banquet tonight will be fun..."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Annan and the deputy city lord had their own smiles. After the deputy city lord left, Annan looked at the female family members attending the banquet...
Annan's eyes seemed to be sculptures made of gold coins...
"You go, I will accompany the princess." Itilia was considerate.
"Okay."
Annan handed the princess to Itilia and approached the dining table.
He believed that with the popularity of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" in Huadu, someone would soon come to chat with him...
Thinking like this, a servant dragging a dinner plate almost almost Hit him.
Annan lowered his head and was stunned when he saw the servant's face: "You..."
"Don't even think about getting rid of me." The Scarlet Princess said proudly.
"You shouldn't come here...it's too dangerous here."
"You dare to come, why don't I dare..."
Annan can't really bring him He ran away with the crimson princess and had no choice but to lead her to Itilia.
"Leave it to me..." Itilia looked at the Scarlet Princess with a chuckle: "Can you help me push the wheelchair?"
"Annan wants to negotiate with a big shot. If you get too close, you will The identity was discovered..."
"It's David," Princess Crimson corrected, "Okay."
After Annan walked away, she looked at the princess vaguely, "Ai. "Elf" was actually indifferent to himself.
“What happened to her?”
"Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb you!"
The words that suddenly echoed in the banquet hall interrupted Princess Crimson's curiosity. A knight with a tough face and covered in mud walked into the banquet hall. He raised his head high, his gaze swept over the guests, and landed on the slightly stunned Annan: "I am Reiner, a student of the Archbishop of Valencia of the Church of Order in Lost City. I set off to Lost City six days ago to investigate the truth."
“This is Mr. Alberto, a big textile merchant and a survivor of Lost City. Next, he will tell you what happened in Lost City in the past few months. What."
The banquet hall became quiet. Countless dignitaries and guests looked here curiously. Some people knew Alberto and whispered something.
Alberto stood up. He put on new clothes, so much so that Annan almost didn't recognize him as the nobles in the front hall... Unexpectedly, there were still survivors.
“…The fallen princess imprisoned us in the palace. The knight named Annan arrived and plotted something. Then Weird broke in. They all died. Only I escaped and hid in another place. Wencheng...The heroic Reiner rescued me. When I learned that the so-called 'knight' had purified Wencheng, and there was a princess in Huadu, I knew that we had all been deceived..."
Alberto slowly told his story and his lies.
“The thief named Knight wanted to steal the power of Lost City. He asked someone to pretend to be the princess. In order to make the plan flawless, he came to Lost City, killed the fallen princess, and deceived you. Everyone..."
Amidst the uproar from the guests, Alberto pointed to the princess beside Itilia.
"She is a fake princess!"
"...This is the truth I got after three days of investigation in Lost City." Reiner took the words and looked directly at Annan: "Prince Knight, what's the matter? Purpose?”
Annan stared at Reiner with a frown.
Colette is Valencia’s daughter. It is not convenient for him to take revenge, but you still dare to appear in front of him...?
Annan walked towards the princess, the crimson princess raised her hand, and Itilia held her wrist.
Looking at Annan approaching, Princess Crimson felt relieved out of trust.
I don’t know if I should thank Lady Luck...the "respect" I donated actually worked.
Annan held up the princess's hand, and the ring on her ring finger shone with mysterious light: "Liner, do you think this Ring of Lost City is real or fake?"
< br>"Of course it's true."
"I thought you would say it was also false..." Annan chuckled and glanced at the guests calmly: "Then how about I tell a story?"
"At the beginning of February, I was ordered by the princess to take her ring and go to the Lost City to eliminate the strange things. Everyone at the camp stationed at the Swan Lake witnessed this." Annan's eyes glanced at several pictures he had seen in the camp during the banquet. Face, "After entering the palace, I saw some survivors. The nobles, including this Albert, confused right and wrong, saying that the princess trapped them here and entrusted me to kill the princess..."
"He...he's lying!"
"Shh..." Annan raised his finger indifferently, "I didn't bother you when you said that, and I hope you don't bother me either."
“You are lying sooooooo——”
The brilliance of magic flashed, and I don’t know who made Alberto shut his mouth.
"Thank you."
Annan thanked the person who took action, and continued: "I pretended to accept their commission and successfully entered the depths of the palace. In the end, I saw another princess in front of the sealed door... ”
The guests listened intently to Annan’s story.
“She told me a story: Once upon a time, a little girl lived with her mother in a forest cabin. On this day, her mother went out for something and never came back. The little girl was afraid again Worried again. Not long after, a beast appeared outside the hut, and it found a way to break into the hut. The little girl was so scared that she wished she had a sister. Then the little girl's sister really appeared. Driving away the beast."
"That sister is the second princess I saw. She was suppressing the portal deep in the palace. She told me that there is a price to pay for completely killing the beast, and that price is only a small amount. It could be her..."
"At the end of the story, the elder sister sacrificed herself on behalf of the younger sister and killed the beast."
"That day, her light was clearly visible in the flower capital."
