"You must have made a mistake." Sean shook his head repeatedly, gargled and denied, "I have been with His Highness just now, and I have not left half a step, nor have I turned into a golden giant eagle. I have never heard of such a thing.

Magic, Your Highness can vouch for me."

As Sean said this, he winked at Sophia Liya when Wendy turned around.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, testify to me, did you just see Baron Sean turn into a golden giant eagle, with lightning, translucent, very beautiful." Wendy asked Sophie anxiously

Liya asked for confirmation.

"No." Sophia looked worried and touched Wendy's forehead. "Did you spin around in the air and get dizzy? Didn't Baron Sean just order his giant eagle mount to kill you?

Did you send it down? I told you not to mess around. Look, you were stunned by the shock, right?"

When Wendy wasn't paying attention, Sophia Liya gave Sean a look that said she would settle the score with you later.

"Ah..." Wendy was completely dumbfounded and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I must have remembered it correctly. How could I have remembered something like this wrong? There must have been a mistake somewhere. There must have been a mistake somewhere.

, aren’t you two colluding to fool me?”

Wendy stared at Sean and Sophia Liya with a suspicious look on her face.

"No, how is that possible?" Sean and Sophia replied in unison.

"With such neat answers, there must be something wrong." Wendy was as alert as a puppy, circling around Sean and Sophia Liya.

She just has rough lines, but she's not stupid.

Facing her scrutinizing gaze, Sean remained calm and composed, and his expression should be as sincere as possible.

Sophia Liya was a little uncomfortable, her amber eyes twinkling slightly.

"Something must have happened between you two. Tell me honestly." Wendy said with great certainty, holding her little hands behind her back.

She said it was unintentional, but the listener meant it. Sophia Liya picked up Wendy's ear again in anger and said angrily: "I'll give you an account. You must first accept your punishment honestly. From today on, you will be grounded for one month."

, stop snacking for a month.”

"No!" Wendy screamed a hundred times more horribly than when she was free-falling from a high altitude. "It's enough to ban it, but you must not stop eating snacks. I don't dare to do it anymore. I don't dare to do it anymore."

Sophia Liya is very aware of Wendy's weakness.

"What don't you dare to do?" Sophia Liya struck while the iron was hot.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Wendy is also a habitual offender, so she avoids the serious and takes the easy way.

"Huh!?" Sophia Liya snorted coldly.

"Don't dare mess around." Wendy replied with a bit of reluctance.

Sophia Liya turned her death sentence into a reprieve with a cold face: "It depends on your subsequent behavior. If you dare to mess up again, the punishment will be doubled."

"I got it." Wendy lowered her eyebrows in front of Sophia Liya, but waved her fist at Sean behind her back. Apparently she had not forgotten the magic of transforming into a giant eagle.

Sean smiled at him and didn't take it to heart. Once the negotiations with the Kingsley family were over, he wouldn't have that much time to squat in the royal capital of Valesta.

"careful!"

Sean suddenly pushed Sophia Liya and Wendy away.

Click!

A large and powerful thunder struck the place where Sophia Liya and Wendy had just stopped.

The three of them were so focused on the exchange that they forgot that there was also a giant eagle in a rampaging state.

"Black collar!" Sean shouted angrily.

Black Collar, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, realized that he had struck the wrong person. He immediately shrank, flapped his wings, and slipped away without looking back. He probably would not dare to respond to Sean's call for three or two days.

"Your Excellency Baron, are you okay?" Sofilia and Wendy hurriedly came over and asked.

Just now, in order to push them away, Sean failed to completely dodge the thunderbolt, which bounced him several meters away on the spot.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that my hands and feet are a little numb." Sean shook his head and said, "He's wearing silk armor!"

Sean didn't tell the truth completely. When he rushed up, he had already activated the enchantment on the badge he carried - Guardian.

This thing is now the standard equipment of the senior leaders of the Evernight Army. It can resist the full blow of the champion knight and is a treasure that can save lives at critical moments.

"Is everything okay?" Sophia Liya asked a little worriedly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

The scene that just happened could not escape her eyes, but subconsciously, she should have regarded it as a magical shield cast by Sean.

The two are essentially the same, except that the protective shield has a complete magic circuit and can be cast instantly, while the magic shield requires time to prepare.

What she was confused about was the speed with which Sean cast his spell.

"Haha...your hair." Wendy's nerves were unusually thick, and her attention quickly shifted, pointing at Sean's head and laughing.

The protective shield prevented lightning strikes, but could not prevent the static electricity behind it. Even without looking, Sean knew that he had the same virtue as Wendy and turned into an afro.

"You still have the nerve to laugh at others, aren't you a virtuous person? This is all your fault." Sophilia's anger that had just calmed down was aroused again, and she lectured Wendy.

Wendy immediately drooped her little head and lowered her head to admit her mistake again and again. However, from Sean's perspective, she kept lowering her head and rolling her eyes and making faces. Not to mention going in one ear and out the other, she didn't listen at all.

"Let's go down. If we don't go down, I'm worried that the guards will break down the door and rush up." Sean suggested.

The movement caused by Black Collar's final lightning strike was considerable, and the commotion below the tower was clearly discernible.

Maybe they could still hear Sophilia's voice, so the palace guards restrained the urge to rush in.

"That's fine." Sophia Liya felt that she had many questions that she needed to communicate with Sean.

For example, the giant eagle spell, the promise to teach Wendy how to transform into a giant eagle, and the previous kiss.

However, these issues can only be discussed in private. With Wendy as a big light bulb, nothing can be discussed.

When Sean, Sophia Liya and Wendy came out of the tower, the palace guards waiting outside obviously breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sean and Wendy with very strange eyes.

They look really embarrassed now.

When Sean washed up and tidied up his appearance, the female guard captain Bi Luo also came back with news.

They arrived a step too late, and something went wrong with the two witnesses.

Another palace maid hanged herself at home, before they witnessed the palace maid commit suicide by jumping off the building.

And the palace guard disappeared mysteriously, neither alive nor dead.

In this case, even a fool would know there is something wrong.

The palace itself is a place where all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies breed. People can't help but speculate on some daily trivial matters, let alone matters involving the relationship between the Princess Regent and the leader of the Yongye Army during such a sensitive period.

The regent princess was furious about this and asked Biluo to allocate manpower to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Someone dares to reach into his own home, which will make everyone feel uncomfortable.

However, Sean is not optimistic about this.

As mentioned before, first, it is limited by investigation methods.

Second, the other party dealt with it very neatly from beginning to end, and all three people who were publicly involved were silenced. I believe that the missing palace guard is probably lying in a gutter in Valesta, slowly rotting now.

The thread has been cut off, how can we pursue it downwards?

Sophia looked at Sean's thoughtful look and asked, "Your Excellency, Baron, do you have any unique insights on this matter?"

"It's not a unique insight. There is one thing that puzzles me." Sean replied with a frown.

"Any doubts? Tell me." Sophia Liya asked.

"Before Captain Biluo came back from the investigation, I guessed that the other party wanted to use this method to frame the black collar, leaving me unable to defend myself, sowing seeds of suspicion, and causing greater trouble in the palace in the future. People can't help but think of the black collar.

." Sean told his previous guess.

"Yes, I think so too." Sophia nodded in agreement.

"After the results of Biluo Guard Chief's investigation came out, I was a little puzzled." Sean analyzed, "It's easy to explain the palace maid who committed suicide when we saw it on the spot. We exposed the lie on the spot. In panic, the palace maid

The maid committed suicide out of fear of crime. After that, the captain of the guard went to get someone as soon as possible, but we are still one step behind. How to explain this? The other party silenced her in advance? This kind of thing, once the witness dies, we will naturally think of one of them.

If we investigate the issue, it will not be able to sow discord at all.”

Sophilia thought for a moment and replied: "It is possible that another palace maid could not bear the psychological pressure and committed suicide out of fear of crime. After the mastermind found out, he felt that the matter could not be concealed, so he also silenced that palace maid.

Well, the one who committed suicide by jumping off the building was on duty before the other party had time to silence him."

"This explanation makes sense." Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "But this is just our conjecture. We can't count it. Ultimately, it depends on the investigation results of Biluo Guard Chief, but this also gives us a warning.

, this negotiation involves too many interests and too many forces, there will be many people who will do whatever it takes, all kinds of problems should be nipped in the cradle, so you can try His Highness’s previous proposal."

"What proposal?" Sophia Liya looked confused.

"The proposal is to ride on the giant eagle mount and meet Prince Laurie in person to explain." Sean answered with a smile.

Sophia Liya frowned and looked Sean up and down: "What are you trying to do? You said before that Black Collar didn't like letting strangers ride on it, why did you suddenly change your attitude now?"

After seeing Wendy riding on the back of Black Collar, Black Collar reacted violently. Sophia Liya had given up the idea of ​​riding the giant eagle. The risk factor of this thing was a bit high. Although she had some adventurous spirit in her heart, she was far from it.

Wendy is so crazy.

"In the past, it would have been difficult to find a solution, but the black collar just made a mistake and hurt me by mistake. Now that I feel guilty, I can negotiate terms. If I am with you personally by then, it should not act recklessly.

There was a hint of cunning in Sean's smile, "As long as I show that the injury is serious enough."
