With the current situation in the capital, the news about An Suxing cannot be kept secret for long. Of course, it cannot be hidden from others. This information must be released to have the required effect.
Early the next morning, friends in the royal capital, such as Ruian, Bai Lan, Caroline, and Shia, came to visit one by one. Hutto also received many friends from nobles who had awakened through An Xing. A letter of condolences sent by the opportunity.
That afternoon King Caerion paid another visit.
Anche thoroughly enjoyed the treatment of a national soldier, and was greeted by Calyon for a long time before he escaped with the help of Hutto and was able to lie down in bed to rest.
However, An understood that the reason why he was so valued by the king was mostly because of his status as a student of Hutto. Hutto is Caerion's blood relative, and Ann is Hutto's student. On the other hand, he is regarded as one of Caerlion's own.
As a king, Carlion came to express condolences several times regardless of his status. He was extremely kind and righteous to An and his party. But the next plan is not too friendly to him.
After all, Carion is the king of the kingdom. This status is destined to limit him no matter how friendly he is to Hutto and An. An and their plans definitely cannot be handed over to him.
So when Kallion approached Liliana and others, they did not give Kallion a good look. Instead, they used social vocabulary to tell him that they felt that the king was not safe and they wanted to bring the troupe back. The Imperial City ensures safety and then conducts an investigation into the attack.
Of course Carlion, who regarded An and the others as his own, did not want to let them go, but in the past few days, the investigation team formed in the royal capital found no useful clues at all. They arrested a lot of corrupt officials and illegal businessmen, but This is totally unacceptable.
The only assassin who showed up was caught by Leonhardt and the others. Even if Carlion wanted to target the assassin, it would be hard to do so. The most he could do was propose a joint investigation.
The premise of the joint investigation given by Leonhardt was to take An and the others back to the imperial capital.
This made Caerion very entangled, and he even suspected Leonhardt's intentions:
Do you want to kidnap my talent and run away? ?
Of course, based on the fact that the attack did occur, Carlion was just depressed and would not really complain. The vague commotion in the empire during this period also made Carlion feel uneasy, fearing that if it was not handled well, it would cause conflicts between the two countries.
Finally, under Hutto's "reconciliation", Leonhardt's attitude "softened" a lot. After Leonhardt made a series of guarantees, Calyon finally agreed to let him go.
In any case, seeing Leonhardt would not turn his back on him, which would make Kallion feel at ease a lot. Besides, it was really not suitable for him to keep Liliana in the capital any longer. The empire needed her to go back and calm people's hearts.
After a series of negotiations and conversations, everything was arranged. Hutto personally cooked and prepared a dinner on the way, and it was already late at night.
When Carlion returned, he felt a lot more at ease.
"I didn't expect that my father would become the person in charge of the investigation mission." Bai said with a strange expression as he looked at the luxurious carriage that was gradually driving away.
At the dinner, Leonhardt and Hutto's superb acting skills opened her eyes. If he hadn't known in advance that this was a conspiracy, Bai might have truly believed that Kalion and Leonhardt had a fierce and dangerous exchange of words.
Calyon, who was sighing that he could finally have a good night's sleep, probably never imagined that in this conversation that lasted for most of the day, what he said was not much different from what Hutto and the others expected.
Hutto, An, and Xiaoyue, these three people, even predicted today's conversation last night, and Leonhardt's "lines" were all given by them.
Standing in the courtyard at night, Bai suddenly felt a chill.
Hutto put his coat on his daughter, and then said with a smile: "This is inevitable. Only if I become the person in charge can His Majesty Carlion safely agree to let you go to the imperial capital."
Bai naturally did not doubt her father's ability, but she still had doubts as she did not know his true identity.
"But why is His Majesty Calyon so relieved of you?"
Xiao Yue, who took the place of Leonhardt to see off Carlion, came over and said: "Miss Bai, there is no need to be surprised. Your father is extremely talented. Looking at both the kingdom and the empire, it is extremely difficult to find a candidate who can match him. In times of crisis. At this time, if there is such a talent to shoulder the important responsibility, everyone will feel at ease."
"But, His Majesty Kallion is the king of the country after all... Ah! I'm just a little strange, nothing else." Bai didn't react until he was halfway through speaking, worried that his words would be misunderstood by his father as someone who didn't believe him.
Hutto touched his white hair and said with a smile: "Maybe His Majesty Calyon has special trust in me."
Bai blinked and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, she has more or less noticed something now, but since her father won't tell her, she won't ask to the end.
Hutto's smile became stronger, he patted his daughter on the shoulder, turned around and said, "Come inside. At this time of year, it's still a bit cold outside at night."
At the right time, a gust of cold wind blew by. Bai wrapped his coat tightly and followed his father back to the lobby. Xiao Yue walked at the end without any hurry.
All the way to the restaurant on the second floor, Leonhardt was sitting at the dining table, holding a glass of hot water in his hand, in a daze. Just now, he asked Xiaoyue to give it away on his behalf, under the pretext of being unwell.
Seeing Hutto and Xiaoyue returning, Leonhardt's eyes changed slightly. Just as he was about to say hello stiffly, he noticed An walking up, Leonhardt's expression suddenly changed, and he shuddered.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ann, who had a bandage on her right shoulder and her arms hanging on her chest, saw a lot of water spilled on the cup held by Leonhardt, and asked with concern.
Leonhardt's face was indeed not pretty, as if he had been hit by a ghost and turned pale.
"Uh, no, no, I'm fine."
Leonhardt took a shuddering drink of water, but due to his shaking hands, part of the water poured into his nose, causing a burst of retching and coughing.
what happened to him?
An's eyes became strange.
Miku and Hutto behind An, as well as Shiro and Xiaoyue next to him, all looked at him. Only Liliana was lying on the table with no manners, looking like she was suppressing a smile.
Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows: "Your Highness?"
Liliana immediately sat upright, but before she could hold on for a few seconds, she couldn't help but lie down and laugh.
Xiaoyue sighed silently and came to Leonhardt's side to wipe the water from his face.
Everyone sat down one after another. After being busy for most of the day, everyone was a little tired.
Miku looked a little depressed and glanced at An from time to time. She didn't say anything, just sat there quietly. Seeing this, Bai sat next to her, and the two of them talked quietly, not knowing what they were talking about. Meiko and the others are cleaning up the kitchen now and will probably be here in a few minutes.
"What's going on?" An pulled out a chair and sat opposite Leonhardt.
Leonhardt hesitated and couldn't say a word clearly for a long time.
Liliana straightened up and said with a smile: "He, he was, he was frightened, hehe."
"Scared? What's going on?" An asked in surprise.
Leonhart's strange behavior and Liliana's strange remarks made everyone in the restaurant look at them.
As soon as Liliana finished speaking, Leonhardt's face turned red.
"I...I..." Leonhart looked a little anxious, but still couldn't say a complete sentence.
Liliana burst into laughter again.
After a while, she said: "Today's conversation with King Carlion was just as you speculated yesterday. But because the guess was so accurate, it was almost exactly the same. No matter what situation he encountered, he only had to follow the order. Memorizing the words caused him to have the illusion that he was manipulated by you today together with King Carlion... In short, you were too powerful and scared him! Hehe."
As Liliana spoke, An, Hutto, and Xiaoyue looked at each other, and Miku was dumbfounded. Bai nodded as if he felt the same.
"Ahem, I just saw a few people's wisdom today. I'm a little shocked, a little shocked..." Leonhardt was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed.
With these three gods united, what demons and monsters can compare to them? ?
Leonhardt complained in his heart, the huge pressure that almost kept him from sleeping well last night was almost gone after today.
Miku tugged at An's clothes: "Do you... know how to predict?"
Although An told her about going to the imperial capital this morning, she didn't have time to do what happened last night, and An didn't think it was necessary.
Miku woke up last night and after a while, he knew that the three people, including An, had planned something together, but the specific content was unclear. In the afternoon, she stayed with Ann again, and only met with Calyon once. Neither she nor Ann, who was a patient, was present for the subsequent conversation.
Now hearing that Liliana exaggerated the plans of Hutto and the others made Miku extremely curious.
An turned around and couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, you should feel relieved now, right?"
When I told Miku what was going to happen today, she kept acting very worried, and An just took this opportunity to tell her not to worry too much.
Seeing An "having no choice but to admit", everyone laughed one after another.
"……Um."
Miku was infected by everyone's smiles, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot.
