In the Queen's study at Crimesa Palace, a unique chess game seems to be coming to an end. The reason why such an adjective is used is because the identities of both parties in the chess game are very special. One is Her Majesty the Queen who rules this country.
And the other one is...
The girl with black hair and black eyes held the king's chess piece in her hand. She looked a little hesitant, as if she was thinking about a move that would lead to victory. Although judging from the chess situation, the situation was very unfavorable for her - to describe it as unfavorable was already
To put it very euphemistically, in fact, it should be said that she has no chance of winning. Even the top masters of the International Chess Association are sitting in her position. Facing this chess game, they can only abandon their stones and surrender. This is a kind of
A decent approach.
However, this girl seemed to have the idea of turning defeat into victory, so she did not give in easily. She was still thinking carefully, as if she was thinking about a major event related to the future of the country.
In comparison, Her Majesty the Queen, who was sitting opposite, seemed much more calm. She picked up the white glazed ceramic tea cup next to her, took a sip of warm black tea, and waited unhurriedly for her opponent's next move.
. She is sure to win. Anyone who sees Her Majesty the Queen's expression at this moment will have the same thought in their heart. Unfortunately, there is no fourth person in the study, so no one can appreciate this elegant and confident demeanor.
And, it quickly disappeared on that beautiful face.
Because there were sudden footsteps outside the corridor, and a few seconds later, the three people in the room heard the palace guard's calm but still unable to conceal his panic voice: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Your Majesty, but
, there is something that needs to be reported to you."
"What's the matter?" the queen put down her tea cup and asked.
The palace guard outside the door swallowed hard: "Her Royal Highness Gloria disappeared in her palace. Currently... her whereabouts are unknown."
After the words fell, there was deathly silence.
"Gloria...my youngest daughter." The queen's deep groan broke the silence. She looked back at the chessboard with the victory determined and said, "I understand. I will deal with it after the chess game between me and the guests is over."
About this..."
"No need."
However, the black-haired girl threw away the chess piece in her hand and said as if nothing had happened: "It seems that you have encountered a difficult situation, Victoria, this game can only go so far. In my opinion, why not just let it be a draw?"
The queen silently glanced at the chess game that had been disrupted into a state of disarray. A look of helplessness flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded and said: "It seems that this is the most reasonable ending. Just follow your wishes."
Bar."
"I think so."
The black-haired girl smiled, then lowered her voice and reminded: "Your little daughter seems a little weird, Victoria, it reminds me of a small misunderstanding that happened in the past. I think you should control her well to avoid getting along with her.
Some guys with unknown origins hang out together. As far as I know, what this city is most lacking in is careerists, conspirators and self-righteous fools."
"I will bear in mind your warning." The Queen politely replied, then stood up and said, "Excuse me for a moment."
She left the study, and her footsteps gradually faded away. The black-haired girl began to put away the disrupted chess pieces and put them back to their corresponding positions one by one. It seemed that she wanted to wait for Her Majesty the Queen to finish handling this unexpected household chore.
Afterwards, the next game of chess begins, and she will definitely win by then.
At this time, the third man who had been standing by the window staring at the night view of the garden took a step forward and walked out of the shadow that was not illuminated by the lights, allowing his face to be clearly shown in the girl's eyes: he was a handsome man.
He is a young man with a bookish air, but judging from his temperament and demeanor, his actual age should be much older than his appearance.
"It seems it's time for me to say goodbye."
"Do you want to go back to the Ladiste, Bailong?"
"Yes, it is expected that tonight, Carabosse will transport the original stone carvings of "First Interpretation of Spirituality" back to the Ladiste. I will analyze them as soon as possible to advance our most important research."
"It's really hard work. It's good to take a break once in a while."
"The next vacation is in August, and I have already planned to go to the Rikujianhai area for vacation."
"August." The girl knocked the horse's head chess piece repeatedly, making a dull sound: "I don't know if I can spare the time, but anyway, there is still time, let's talk about it then. Before that, don't
Forgot to ask Fei what she meant? I think she is probably very happy and looking forward to it."
"I'll ask her - aren't you going to go back?"
"Well, I'm going to stay here and wait and see. I always feel like something interesting will happen."
"I understand, then, please allow me to take my leave first. By the way," before leaving, the man seemed to think of something. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a slightly tangled tone: "Although I know you like playing chess very much, but
Can you please stop doing such shameless things, always looking for excuses to ruin the chess game when you are about to lose? This is why everyone is becoming less and less willing to play chess with you."
"..." The black-haired girl lowered her head and her lips seemed to move.
"What did you say?" the young man asked hurriedly, not hearing clearly.
"I said, stop talking nonsense, you should go."
"Well."
…
Gloria Risbelet Victoria, why didn't I react earlier? Before Professor Heinrich called out the title Your Highness, I had no impression of the third princess in my mind.
It's as if such an obvious reminder doesn't exist.
No, I can't blame myself. Who would connect an unknown little detective in the Seven Stars Area with the most noble princess in this country? People who would do this have too rich imaginations. To be honest, it is more suitable to go there.
Be a novelist.
Moreover, if Gloria is really the third princess of the Victorian royal family, then some of the strange things she showed before have indeed been reasonably explained, but there are also some things that were originally reasonable, and suddenly became weird.
stand up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter how you say it, she is still a girl full of mysteries. Whether it is her identity as the third princess or her identity as a detective, it makes people feel mysterious, as if
Through a layer of fog, I couldn't see her true appearance.
Now, under the identity of Detective Gloria, this girl holding her arm affectionately is the Third Princess Gloria of the Great Britta Kingdom;
Next, it was most likely the young queen... Lin Ge glanced at her silently, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.
Gloria also seemed to notice that the young man's mood was a little subtle. She pinched his arm gently from an angle that outsiders couldn't see, reminding Ringer that he should focus at this time and stop thinking about those messy things.
Disguise well and don't let Professor Heinrich see the flaw. Otherwise, even if she has the identity of the Third Princess as a cover, she may not be able to dispel the suspicion of the association philosopher.
Linge naturally understood the priorities, so he quickly calmed down his expression and returned to his calm posture. Coincidentally, the next second after he adjusted his mentality, Professor Heinrich turned his attention to
The professor showed just the right curiosity about this young man he had never met before. Regarding his closeness to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, the professor showed just the right curiosity: "Your Highness Gloria, I wonder who this gentleman is? Forgive me for my memory.
No, I really don’t recognize which ancient family he comes from or what honorable surname he has. Can you introduce him to me?"
"Here, please call me Miss Gloria."
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, then gently pulled Lin Ge's arm, pulled him in front of the professor, and said in a tone that contained pride and could easily be misunderstood: "Please allow me to introduce to you, this
This is Green, Mr. Green Eyre, a promising young teacher and my—"
She turned her head slightly, looking at Lin Ge, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, and a hint of shyness of a young girl appeared on her face at the right time: "Lover."
…
At the same time, inside the stable.
Bang——!
A carriage made an inexplicable dull noise, which almost attracted the attention of the manor servants.
"Wow, Sister Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly hit your head against the wall?"
