The shock caused by the explosion lasted only a moment, and then someone in the hall shouted: "There are assassins, protect His Majesty the Emperor!"
Those with some strength also became vigilant and prepared for battle.
The guards rushed in from outside, immediately protected everyone in the banquet hall, and then stared at the location of the explosion.
That's right in the middle of the dance floor.
There was an explosion in the middle of the dance floor, which was now in a mess. A large hole was also exposed on the top of the hall directly above, and the night sky outside could be seen.
Everyone was still frightened, but they were surprised to find that there were no casualties in the explosion.
At this moment Adolf remembered the push he had just felt.
That's not attacking them, it's saving them!
Some guards jumped into the pit to look for clues, and some guards blocked the banquet hall to prevent anyone from entering.
The emperor's face was ugly and his eyes flickered.
There is no doubt that someone is going to attack everyone present, and the most likely target is members of their royal family.
Is it the work of the empire?
No, it shouldn't be them, but someone else.
That's the person I've messed with lately.
Believer of God!
The emperor had no evidence, but he knew that no matter who it was, the matter could not end so simply.
At this time, the guard who had jumped down from the pit climbed up and reported the situation.
"Report, we found the remaining traces of the magic circle. It is speculated that someone set up the magic circle underground to produce the explosion. Other than that, no other clues have been found for the time being."
After hearing what the guard said, the emperor snorted, obviously he was not satisfied with the result.
"Didn't you leave any clues? So what, pass my order and put the whole city under martial law. No one is allowed to come in or out. Any suspicious persons will be captured alive and interrogated as soon as possible. All the staff at today's dinner will be thoroughly investigated. Finally, the captain of the palace guard and the city will be ordered to The commander of the Guards comes to the palace to see me!"
"yes."
When the ministers and nobles heard the emperor's words, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Putting the whole city under martial law is not a simple matter, but it can be seen that the emperor is really angry, and the next step should be a manhunt by the city guards.
Thinking of this, some ministers and nobles had the intention to quit. They planned to go back first to remind the younger generations of their families not to let them fall into muddy waters. In the current tense atmosphere, if someone in their family is confused, it will be bad. He will be arrested directly, and the family may be implicated.
Even if he is released in the end, he will suffer in vain, and it may even affect the family's reputation.
However, when several ministers and nobles kicked out their applications to leave, the emperor rejected them.
"The crisis has not been resolved yet. You are still staying in the palace for the time being. The palace guards are here to protect your safety." The emperor looked deeply at the few people who wanted to leave, his eyes deep.
Someone noticed the emperor's gaze, and his heart suddenly trembled.
The emperor is suspicious of those present!
Moreover, these people who are about to resign are especially suspicious. After all, they are so anxious to run away. Does it mean that there is something unreportable in their family, or that they are related to this attack?
Several people also realized this and complained in their hearts, but they did not dare to say anything more.
"Adolf, Hodel, please come and settle the ministers and nobles. I'm going to the palace first." The emperor explained and left directly.
Adolf and Hodel also followed the emperor's instructions and began to get busy.
After the attack, the nice banquet could not go on.
Angelina returned to a few girls, and they all planned to pack their things and take refuge.
Angelina wanted to help, but Adolf refused because it was not difficult to accommodate everyone present.
Della picked up Bailiyuan, who was holding a new small fish in his mouth.
"Come with me, you can go to my bedroom to rest." Angelina said.
The princes and princesses have their own residences in the palace. Although they can move out of the palace when they reach adulthood, their dormitories will also be retained in the palace.
Angelina was still underage and had always lived in the palace.
With Angelina here, Della and the others naturally don't have to be accommodated by Adolf and Hodel like the others.
Before leaving, Lafite even said hello to his parents, eldest brother and second sister, "I won't suffer with you anymore, I'm going to play with Angelina, hahaha."
"..."
Lafite's father was speechless for a while, while her mother signaled with her eyes - laugh as much as you want, waiting for you to come home.
Lafite's eldest brother and second sister also looked at their little sister with pity.
Perhaps, Lafite was born with less brains.
When Angelina led everyone back to her palace, she found that the queen was waiting at the door with two guards. The queen smiled when she saw a few people. It seemed that she had been here waiting for everyone.
Seeing the queen, several people saluted.
"I have met Her Majesty the Queen."
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Angelina stepped forward and asked in confusion.
The Queen smiled slightly and said, "Come here to see you. Let's go in and sit down together."
Angelina naturally did not refuse.
Leaving two guards to guard the door, the Queen followed her into Angelina's palace.
After entering Angelina's palace, the Queen also suppressed her smile. Naturally, she didn't come here just to visit Angelina, but she had something serious to say.
First, the queen bowed to Baili Yuan, "Thank you for your help."
Everyone on the dance floor was pushed out of the dance floor before. This matter was still noticed and the tragedy was avoided. As for the one who could predict the danger in advance and save everyone, the emperor and the queen thought about it, and they only thought of it. Bailiyuan.
They are not fools. Although there are strong people at the banquet, the only one who can achieve this is Baili Yuan.
Several girls were slightly surprised, but Bailiyuan calmly waved his paw.
Then the queen looked at Bailiyuan sincerely again: "I wonder if you have noticed any clues?"
Bailiyuan meowed.
In fact, he only noticed a magic circle appearing under the dance floor, and did not notice any other clues. However, since the other party's plan failed, things should not end so easily...
Bailiyuan's expression suddenly paused.
"Oh, it's already here."
Several people noticed something strange about Baili Yuan and felt a little strange.
At this moment, the two guards outside suddenly spoke up.
"Who...ah!!!"
"Someone attacked..."
Then there was no movement.
The sound outside made everyone in the palace change their expressions suddenly.
Melkat suddenly grew bigger and guarded everyone behind him. Olinson also took out his war hammer and war shield, and several girls also took out their staffs and got ready for battle.
"Your Majesty the Queen, please stand behind us." Flavo said.
The queen nodded hurriedly, then shrank back.
In fact, the queen was also a mage when she was young, but after becoming the queen, she almost gave up her practice. She could use some small magic in life, but it was almost impossible to fight.
After all, what I pursue after becoming a queen is different.
Footsteps sounded outside the palace.
Finally, a dark figure stood outside the door of the palace, watching everything in the palace.
