Chapter 163 Investigation Results

Tom invited Blanche.

This was the first time in her life that she had walked into the bedroom of a person of the opposite sex of the same age. Roning's bedroom did not seem very luxurious compared to ordinary aristocratic bedrooms. There were neither valuable carvings, calligraphy, paintings, or rare collections. It was just ordinary and simple.

She didn't know that Luo Ning had packed up many things in the room and taken them to Shanlin Town.

"Roning, how do you feel now?" Blanche asked with concern, sitting beside the bed.

She could not calm down during the two hours after returning to Wushanbao. As soon as she closed her eyes, the experience of the assassination emerged in her mind. She thought of the scene in which she was held by Roning and killed the two assassins.

Even drinking a bowl of calming soup didn't work. In desperation, Blanche had to visit Roning under the pretext of "bringing calming soup to Roning."

"I'm fine."

Luo Ning leaned against the head of the bed and said with a smile: "I just hurt my spirit when using the sixth-level spell scroll. You don't have to worry too much."

Thinking of Wushanbao's current situation, Luo Ning hesitated momentarily before speaking: "Blanche, there is one thing I need your help with."

Blanche's eyes lit up, and she seemed to feel much better after hearing these words.

"You said, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

Ronin thanked him and said, "Your experience this time is due to the poor protection of Wushan Castle. Count Jesus and Sir Broll are understandably angry with us, but now we should focus on investigating the assassin's identity. Other things..."

"I see!"

Blanche interrupted Ronin, saying, "This assassination has nothing to do with Wushanbao. On the contrary, your desperate rescue saved me from danger. The Alduin family will not let go of any enemy but will also not wrongly accuse any meritorious official."

She paused, then smiled. "You should have a good rest. I will go find Uncle Jesus and Broll and tell them not to embarrass Wushanbao because of what happened to me."

After all, Blanche was the princess of the kingdom, so even though Roning's words were euphemistic, they were enough for her to understand.

Although Roning had only spent less than a day with the princess, he could sense that she had a relatively gentle personality. For the time being, he had not discovered any special habits of her.

Overall, Roning felt pretty good.

At the same time, he felt that the other party must have had a very good impression of him. Otherwise, he would not be so active in visiting him and willing to step forward to resolve the embarrassing situation of Wushan Fort.

If this happened on Earth, if both parties on a blind date were so satisfied, this would be successful.

But in this world, before His Majesty Bruno officially announces it, there are still many uncertainties.

"Tom," Ronin called out.

"My Lord, what do you want?"

Luo Ning said, "When Macken returns, tell him to come to me directly. For the others, tell them that I'm not feeling well and need to rest. If there's nothing important, we can talk later."

"As you wish, my lord!"

McKen was an eyewitness to the assassination and assisted Knight Missy in repelling the assassin, so he naturally had to cooperate with Sir Toru's investigation.

Roning also hoped that McCann could convey the results of the investigation to him immediately.

…

At the same time, there was chaos in the Wushan Fortress.

On one side was the royal escort team led by Jesus and Broll, and on the other was the Wushan Fort led by Wiggins, Orson, and Marvin.

There was only one subject of quarrel:

Jesus felt that the assassination was planned too meticulously and that the nobles of Wushan Territory were involved. They asked Wushan Castle to investigate all the vassal nobles, catch the mastermind behind the scenes, and give Princess Blanche a satisfactory explanation.

Wiggins's side said that they would find the murderer and give an explanation. Still, this assassination had nothing to do with the nobles of Wushan Territory, and it was completely unreasonable to investigate all the nobles.

"Crash~"

The gate of Wushan Fortress was pushed open, and Lu Lansi walked in with a cane, suddenly quieting the noisy hall.

"Sir Broll, we at Wushanhold have heard your request."

Rulans walked slowly to Wiggins' side and stood there, facing the deputy leader of the Griffin Knights, "The First Knights of Wushan Castle are now investigating everyone in the Colosseum and all the spectators today. I believe there will be results soon."

"Those assassins challenged the dignity of the royal family. Our Wushan family is a vassal of Alduin and will never allow such a thing to happen."

Broll saluted Rulans with a knight's salute. "My Lord Marquis, I naturally believe in your loyalty, but Princess Blanche has just arrived at Wushan Castle, and such a meticulous assassination happened right after. It is hard to believe how this matter was planned and organized without the cooperation of the nobles of Wushan Castle."

Lu Lan Si shook his head. "I only revealed the news that Blanche would come yesterday afternoon. Do you think I would arrange for someone to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"This..."

Broll was speechless for a moment. Rulans had originally proposed the marriage, so the other party naturally had no reason to do such a thing.

"That's not necessarily true."

At this time, a very unfriendly voice sounded, "Lu Lan Si, you have been hiding in Wushan Fort for so many years; who knows what you are thinking in your heart?"

"Jesus, don't go too far!"

"Jesus, watch your mouth!"

The vassals of the Wushan family were angry and began to curse.

They are vassals of Rulans, so they would naturally not allow Zhu Jun to be questioned and insulted like this, even if the other party's surname is Alduin; he is not their lord.

Lu Lan Si chuckled. This situation was thirty years ago. At that time, his vassals were loyal. Now, who knows how many of them are just talking big?

"Jesus, long time no see; your tongue is still as sharp as ever."

Lu Lans asked: "Then I want to ask you, when did you know that Blanche would come to Wushan Castle?"

"I?"

Jesus sneered, "I am a member of the royal family. I must have known about this earlier than you guys..."

At this point, Jesus' face changed, and he said angrily: "Lu Lan Si, what do you mean by this? Would I arrange for someone to assassinate my niece?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Lu Lans said calmly as he slowly stepped onto his main seat, "It's not uncommon in history for uncles to assassinate nieces and for younger brothers to assassinate older brothers."

"You're looking for death!"

Jesus narrowed his eyes and threw a punch. His fighting spirit formed a huge fist shadow with full power, which hit Lulans, who was sitting above him.

This person's strength is not strong, but he has reached bronze.

Although this attack was done with bare hands, it was not something that an average person could take.

Rulans snorted, and the cane suddenly rose and stabbed the floor.

In an instant, a fierce power was released from him, and when the first shadow was about to hit him, a red barrier appeared in front of Lulans.

The first shadow hit the barrier with a bang and exploded into pieces.

The aftermath of the impact turned into a whirlwind that stirred in the fortress hall!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Many figures rushed out at the same time and blocked Rulans' way. Viscount Marvin, Sir Capell, Baron German, Viscount Dennis, and even Earl Orson and Baron Rayson were among them.

For a moment, the hall was tense.

"You don't have to do this."

A crisp voice came from the entrance, and Princess Blanche and Missy arrived.
