(2) Undercurrent (16)

"What happened?" Qingkong asked softly, but received no response.

The maids began to search for clothes for Princess Vanessa from a suitcase in the corner, and the princess had already sat in front of the mirror and took off the doctor's white hat, put down her long orange hair, and started to dress up with the help of another maid.

Qingkong looked at the somewhat chaotic scene. After briefly being at a loss, he decided to ask the maid for her clothes, change into this expensive outfit, and then return to the sentry hotel.

However, before the girl's idea could be implemented, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by a sound of swords coming out. Qingkong suddenly felt nervous for some reason, and reflexively jumped to the half-closed screen on one side, behind the pile of boxes where clothes were placed...

-

At this time, the canvas at the entrance of the tent was suddenly uncovered-

A tall and burly man appeared in the center of his sight. He had delicate facial features, high nose bridge, raised eyebrows and eyes, and a short light golden hair shining with light golden eyes. He was wearing a delicate and close-fitting matte golden armor, and the eagle's logo was carved on his shoulders. The two long swords were half a person tall, and were hung on his back.

"What a courage! How dare you trespass into the tent of the Royal Dorian clan? Who is coming?" The maid serving on both sides of Princess Vanessa immediately took two steps forward, blocked the figure of the lord with her body, and shouted at the visitor.

"I am here to welcome Princess Vanessa to the guards of the Apocalypse City. I just heard that the assassin broke into here and was particularly worried about the safety of His Highness the Princess, so I took the liberty to come and support him." The visitor smiled and answered calmly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dorian Legion seemed to have surrounded the lord's tent. There were dense figures outside the tent under the fire. However, no guards of the Dorian Legion could be seen in the tent to protect them. Instead, they walked into two rows of six soldiers wearing gold and silver armor. At a glance, they knew that they were the so-called guards who broke into the knights wearing mute golden armor.

The atmosphere was still tense, but the golden-armored knight smiled like Mu Chunfeng and greeted Princess Dori, who was passing through the two maids: "Your Highness, you haven't seen each other for many days. I wonder if everything is fine. This trip will go smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly. Although I met a ungrateful little thief who was ungrateful, they were all handled properly and arrived here without any danger. When you, Wellskin Cavalry, the next journey will definitely be smoother and safer. I am very happy and grateful." Princess Vanessa let out a sigh of relief, stood up, walked around the maid's cover, walked to the blonde man and stretched out her right hand gracefully. The knight immediately half-kneeled down, held her slender fingers in both hands, and kissed the back of her hand like a dragonfly.

Hiding in the corner, secretly watching the scene, I couldn't help but look at the man called Wells Golden Knight curiously. He had elegant and noble movements and was dressed very well. I thought he must be a high-ranking official, but I didn't know what position this so-called "Golden Knight" was... When the girl's eyes swept over his face, she seemed to meet the man's look back with a glance. His eyes were sharp and he couldn't feel the malice, Qingkong's heart still tightened. He hurriedly moved away and hid himself completely in the shadow.

After the salute, Wellskin Knight stood up and said politely: "When the prince assigned me to greet me, he specially asked me to take the most exquisite troops in the Imperial Guards and told me to protect you from being thorough. Unexpectedly, I heard that you were attacked just now. It was really a coincidence. Since His Royal Highness the Princess was in danger on our King Keen land, the Imperial Guards led by Wells cannot sit idly by here. We will take over the assassin's investigation. Please rest with your peace of mind. We will do our best to investigate the murderer."

His Highness the Princess was silent for two seconds, and immediately said with an official smile on his face: "The heroic spirit of the Imperial Guard is known to everyone, but you and the soldiers are coming all the way overnight, and you must be tired. The assassin's matter is actually nothing serious. It has been solved for seven or eight minutes. The thief has been entangled by the water-resential snake. I believe his life will be in the near future. My guards will soon find his body and can be settled with a little treatment. What a small matter, so you won't bother your elite troops to worry about it."

Wells bent his light golden eyes and returned with an equally polite smile: "This time, everything is only for His Highness Princess to solve problems and ensure that it is comprehensive. Regardless of matters, I will do everything that concerns you. Your Highness Princess, please don't be polite."

As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a report from behind. Then an imperial guard came in, bowed to Wells, and gave a half-body gift, reporting: "Master Jin Knight, the assassin's body has been dragged out of the tunnel and has been sent back to the army for investigation and research. I will report it to you."

"Very good, it seems that everything goes well. This matter must be investigated carefully. Those who attempt to murder His Highness the Princess must not be let go." With Wells' response, the soldiers who came to report received the order and retreated.

At this time, Princess Vanessa raised her right hand to cover her temples, and said in a weak tone: "There are too many strange things happening in this day, and I can't help but have a headache. I'm thinking about changing clothes and resting now. If there is anything important, what should we discuss when we set off together tomorrow?"

Wells smiled tactfully, but couldn't help but answer with a hint of cleverness: "Looking at the princess's strange outfit, you will know that you have tried your best to deal with various situations today. I must be very tired. Please rest with peace of mind. I will disturb you when you prepare to march and set off." As he said that, he kept a smile and led a group of six imperial guards back down.

-

When they completely walked out of the tent, Princess Vanessa couldn't help but exhaled heavily.

The princess's move made Qingkong, who had just emerged from behind the screen, feel confused. After hesitating for two seconds, she still couldn't help but walk forward and asked: "Your Highness Princess, what is the origin of this Wells Golden Knight? Is the Imperial Guard the King's army? It seems to be very powerful."

After hearing her question, Vanessa couldn't help but smile: "It turns out that you don't even know this - the prince of the Rafal family who is powerful in Keane's continent, the youngest son of Lord Es Rafal, the owner of the Rafal Castle of Rafal; the queen of Keane, wife of Terras, Claudia Rafal and the younger brother of the king's hand Nibel Rafal; the head of the imperial guards controlled by King Keane, the Wells Rafal, known as the Golden Knight, is the most sophisticated unit in the entire Keane Kingdom. It has three management positions: Golden Knight, Silver Knight, and Bronze Knight. It is headed by the Golden Knight, and it has different legions, which holds the military power of Keane's absolute strength."

"It sounds really amazing." Qingkong couldn't help but sigh.

But Princess Vanessa snorted softly: "Of course the Rafale family is amazing. Wells holds military power, Nibel's left and right regime, and Claudia is in charge of the rear. Lord Es Rafale has a rich resource-rich Rafale Castle. Not only is it blessed with the Rafale Saint Stone Juyou, but also the Guardian Prophet Alsha. The entire Keane Continent is only not renamed Rafale."

Qingkong finally understood the different emotions in His Royal Highness's words - those words were in them. She was shocked and guessed: [Is it that the assassin sent tonight by Wells?]

The girl was still thinking, and Princess Vanessa suddenly asked: "Qingkong, I want to ask you to accompany me for a while. Not only do I want to find out who the person who wants to harm me is, I also have to get the evidence and hold the chips to ensure my safety."

The princess’s request is reasonable and concerns a woman’s life and death. With Qingkong’s personality, it is difficult to refuse and not help. But she also understands the pros and cons, and if she is not careful, she will put herself in extreme danger. In this way, the plan to find Nolan and save Luna must be postponed... She cannot dissipate her doubts.

The princess saw that she had something to hide and immediately promised: "If you assist me in investigating this matter, you will surely give you wealth and glory. I can also give you a wish. As long as I can reach my ability, I will definitely help you achieve it."

Having said that, Qingkong once again fell into a state of no help. Since the princess had given her a condition, she thought that she might be able to exchange it for information from Nolan and Luna, wouldn’t she kill two birds with one stone?

So she nodded gently and asked, "Then... what should I do next?"

"Tomorrow morning, Wells will lead the army to accompany me to the royal city. You can walk with me as a doctor, exchange identities with me when necessary, and act as my substitute."

"But... I have three companions, and I also want to help my friend deliver a letter to King Terras..." Leoria's instructions rushed back to her mind at this time. Qingkong recalled that the crucial letter was still in Princess Vanessa's hands. She was about to speak and ask her back, but the princess spoke first.

"I know that letter must be very important to you, but have you ever thought that the city of Apocalypse is closely guarded and how noble King Terras is, how can ordinary civilians see you? Without my help, your mission of delivering letters will be difficult." Princess Vanessa said this, pondered for a moment, sighed lightly, and continued, "I can bring one of your friends to the city of Apocalypse. Remember, you can only bring one - but you must keep a secret to the agreement between us, can you do it?"

Qingkong met the princess's eyes that suddenly became sharp. She was shocked by her momentum and nodded gently: "Yes."

His Highness the Princess immediately explained: "Okay, then you can change into the doctor's clothes and go back to the hotel to find him. You can sleep in the hotel tonight. Tomorrow morning, you will bring that friend back to see me. I will arrange his disguise and help you hand the letter to King Terras."
