Chapter 187 Awaiting Summons

News of Queen Diana's assassination at the entrance of Tobesque station, in This Wednesday quickly spread throughout the city, and then spread to the entire kingdom and even the entire world.

Even though the queen who was the victim was not harmed, on this afternoon, the Delarion Kingdom's stern diplomatic rhetoric came from the Yordle Palace, condemning the despicable actions of the United Kingdom of Carsenrick.

Although, both the royal family and MI6 believe that this is not what the "Grey Gloves" did.

The station ribbon-cutting ceremony was of course canceled immediately, and the police force, together with the Royal Guard, escorted the severely frightened Queen back to Yordle Palace.

The murderer committed suicide, but people all over the street had to identify themselves and confirm that they were not his accomplices before leaving. And the biggest contributor to this incident, Shade, who ran two streets just to get shot for the unfathomable mystery, was guarded by MI6, the police, the royal guards, and the personal servant left by the queen. After waking up, he was also sent to Yodel Palace.

"What are you doing?"

Yordle Palace is not a palace, but a complex of palace buildings. Although compared to other estates and properties owned by the royal family in Tobesque, the area is not very large except for its better location, but the Yodel Palace has been the place where the royal families have lived for generations.

Shade is sitting in the waiting room, playing with a few coins that he won while playing Rhodes with his lawyer dozens of hours ago.

The question is from Miss Galina's valet, Miss Tifa Servette, and Shade is now "wounded" waiting to be summoned by King Your Majesty. In order to seem to attach importance to Shade, the "life saving benefactor", Queen Diana sent a maid to take care of the "wounded" detective. The black hair maid was arranged by Miss Galina to protect Shade from getting involved in unnecessary political struggles.

It worked, the maid Tifa was by Shade's side after he "woke up", driving away a lot of people with ulterior motives. After all, Miss Galina is older than the king Your Majesty in terms of seniority, and everyone here must respect her.

"I'm thinking about the relationship between God, man and destiny. Cough cough."

Pretending to be coughing, clutching his chest, from the neckline he can vaguely see what's inside. Bandages:

"Before meeting the woman who lost her child this morning, what was on my mind was to donate half a pound of cash in my pocket to Dawn Church, even if I hadn't met That woman, I should be at Dawn Chapel by noon."

"Really? Is there such a thing?"

Miss Serveit curiously asked, which It was also the first time she heard of it. The other maids in the room also looked at Shade secretly, just as Miss Beas said, the slight change in the unnoticeable influence of the face made Shade's face more handsome, plus what he did today, Ms. Bode Their favor is also normal.

"So, today's events tell me that fate is absolutely just."

He uttered another word without beginning and end, and then shoved the small one-penny coins into the in the pocket. At this moment, a flustered and exasperated voice came from the corridor outside:

"He was recruited by me! We solved the conspiracy and protected the queen at the last moment!"

p>

That voice should belong to Mr. Anros, the director of MI6.

"To be honest, I did worry that MI6 would not recognize my identity, so my actions might be difficult to explain."

Pretending to be difficult He said to the maid Miss Tifa Servette who was standing by the side, in fact, it was to be more realistic in front of the queen's maid. After all, the maid Tifa knew that Shade was not hurt by anything other than fright.

"Detective, Mr. Anlos impossible does not recognize your identity. If your actions are not used to cover up MI6's incompetence, he will probably really be transferred to the National Cemetery Management Association."

>

Even though there were other servants in the room, Miss Serveit did not lower her voice. The others who heard the conversation between the two pretended to have heard nothing.

Being a servant here, I know what to hear and what not to hear.

Shade nods, then coughs again, feigning weakness. Although now he looks good on the surface and has changed into new clothes, in fact, just a few hours ago, he was diagnosed by doctors as "damaged internal organs due to the impact, with minor internal bleeding".

The above diagnosis is completely wrong, because Shade didn't even see the doctor, it was arranged by Miss Galina, who was present at the time, to cover up the abnormality of Shade's body. And Mr. Anlus of MI6 was originally close to Miss Galina, and he needed Shade's "injury" to show that MI6 paid the price to protect the royal family, so he was very enthusiastic to help fake Shade's injury together. Affection.

"Mr. Dak Anlos is really lucky. Now he not only does not need to take responsibility for the Queen's assassination, but can even take the credit."

The maid continued to speak. , which is actually telling Shade his current situation.

"But what does the king want to see me for? A reward?"

He clutched his chest and pretended to be in pain.

"At least it won't be a reward this time. You and the woman the captain caught have confessed to child abduction in Tobesque."

The maid said.

“Is it really the child abduction that has been reported in the newspapers for a few months?”

Shade asked.

A soft smile appeared on the black-haired maid's face:
"Yes sir, you and your captain friend, you have done a great job this time. Now Ridwich I believe that this can be used as a clue to catch most criminals, and it is even possible to find the children who were lost before. The credit for this matter and your credit for protecting the queen are probably enough for you to get a Medal. But the award of the Kingdom Medal requires a process, so the reward will not be today."

"Just a medal?"

Shade was a little disappointed.

"This is a great honor."

The lady maid looked at him strangely:
"Many nobles have been thinking about it for a lifetime, but they may not be able to get one. You got this honor at such a young age, how many people yearn for something even in dreams. You don't want gold pounds, do you?"

The last half sentence lowered her voice, she Knowing Shade's situation, so I guessed what Shade was thinking.

"Of course, I'm short of money right now, and you know, I need gold pounds for my studies."

Shade doesn't think this idea is wrong.

“There’s a bounty on Ridwich Field in the disappearance of the Tobesque children, and Queen Diana, she’ll have something to say.”

Miss Tifa Serveit Gently reminded, Shade smiled, thinking about a series of things today, quite a dream.

The time is now 6:30 in the evening. In summer, the daytime is long, but the night comes very fast.

Wait until the sun has completely disappeared over the western horizon and the street lights on Silver Cross can be seen from the waiting room window, and Shade is still sitting there waiting.

It's not because he's undervalued or forgotten, but because the king is too busy, especially with the accusations against Carson Rick published today.

So while waiting to be summoned, different people came to visit Shade. First, of course, is his titular boss, Director Dak Anlos.

After he entered the door, he motioned the servants to leave first. Seeing that the black-haired maid standing beside Shade didn't leave, she just raised her eyebrows and said nothing:
"Hamilton, you did a really good job this time! You are indeed an outstanding talent that we have cultivated."

He deliberately spoke in a very exaggerated volume, and when he sat on the single-seater sofa on Shade's left, he pointed to the door, meaning that someone might be eavesdropping outside the door.

"Hamilton, this time is really good."

Then he lowered his voice and said to Shade, this sentence is sincere:
"Remember, you are this morning , I finally found out that someone would attack the queen, but due to the lack of evidence and the lack of time, I went to the station to stop myself and blocked the gun at the last moment. As for the investigation of the disappearance of children, the credit is also yours, but the rhetoric needs to be changed. , to prevent being discovered."

He made a mouth shape, probably meaning Shade also understood. The above matter, before entering the Yodell Palace, Mr. Anlos had already explained to Shade once, and Shade of course agreed.

After all, in this way, no one would care about how he walked for half an hour on foot to accurately find the criminal of the missing child.

"MI6 won't treat you badly, as long as this matter is fooled."

He twitched his fingers calmly, and Shade nodded calmly. The two men, who were nearly twenty years apart in physical age, both got satisfactory answers.

"But who does that assassin belong to? Mr. Anlos, it seems that you don't think it's the Grey Gloves man."

Shade asked again.

Mr. Anlus frowned, obviously this problem bothered him too:
"Gray gloves can't be so rough, and they have no reason to assassinate the queen, that group of people. I don't want to provoke a war. Judging from Kasenrick's response today, it is indeed not them, but someone who wants to blame them."

Mr. Anlos wiped his chin with his thumb:
"As for the identity of the murderer, there are many possibilities, militant groups that pop up out of nowhere, dissidents within the small dukedom affiliated with Delarion, ambitious on the new continent, pirate kings, and even problems within the country ."

"cough cough."

The maid coughed (note), and Mr. Anlos hurriedly shut up. This kind of topic cannot be said easily:

"Anyway, we'll keep track of it. No matter how hidden it is, there will always be clues. However, this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Hamilton, take care of your wounds."

He grows out In one breath, it was like letting go of a heavy burden. Rubbing his face with his hands, he nods to Shade himself, and stands up to leave.

PS1: She is Miss Galina's personal maid and can be used as an adjutant and personal staff, so it is not abrupt.

PS2: Yesterday, I added 1W words, four chapters, and I forgot to ask for a ticket.

PS3: The Children's Disappearance, Queen Diana's ribbon cutting, these are all foreshadowing. Someone was targeting the royal family, which was said earlier. Last night's chapter should be okay, the author tried his best to write a sense of the picture.
