A strange world

Chapter 691 Chapter 88. The Guilty Person

An invisible silence enveloped the banquet hall that was supposed to be bustling.

"But the elder sister and the younger sister are one. Even if the little girl survived, she paid a heavy price..."

Annan, who came to the princess, said softly: "I'm sorry, I need to show them your wound."

The princess stood there without responding. She didn't understand what it meant, and she didn't have any idea...

Annan first untied the black ribbon that wrapped around her eyes, revealing dark eye sockets and a dull eye.

"It's one of the curses."

Annan opened her gray robe again, letting the guests see the princess's missing right arm.

"This is Curse Two."

Then, Annan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the princess. There was no reaction from those lifeless eyes: "This is the third curse. The princess is only awake at irregular times now..."

Annan stood in front of the princess, looking at the silent Reiner and the frightened Alberto: "This is what you call disguise - the princess doesn't want everyone to know her injuries."

"That's the story I want to tell."

"Finally, the princess in front of the Sealed Gate put the Ring of Lost City on my hand and wanted to entrust Lost City to me."

"I turned her down and gave her the ring back."

Annan's words echoed in the quiet banquet hall.

At a certain moment, the Lord of Huadu City stood up and said: "We are willing to believe your words, but we want you to prove to us that she is the real princess."

"certainly."

Annan lowered his eyes.

"But I hope someone will pay the price after this incident... No one can question the princess who sacrificed herself for Lost City."

"No one can."

"I promise you."

A middle-aged noble said in a deep voice. He was one of the big shots who came to attend the celebration.

"What are you going to do?" Annan asked.

Another old noble came out. She looked at the princess with a hint of...kindness in her eyes: "The princess is the saint chosen by the gods. Even in turbulent years, we can still get a trace of...divineness from her."

Annan did not underestimate this old man who looked similar to his ancestors. He remembered clearly that this old man was the legendary patriarch of an ancient family...

Annan let the old man hold the princess's hand. After a spell like a prayer, the old man raised his wrinkled palm, and a power that seemed to sublimate the soul was pulled out from the palm of the princess.

Some in the banquet hall expressed longing and envy.

But Annan only saw the pained look on the princess's face, and the old man's sigh: "Yes...she is the real princess."

The old man canceled the spell, and the princess, who had returned to her divine form, hid behind Annan.

He comforted the timid princess with distress, raised his head and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult to discern the truth... A power word spell can make him tell the truth."

"We tried it, and what he said is true." The Lord of Huadu looked extremely serious at this moment.

He realized that he was involved in some kind of terrible conspiracy to hunt the princess...

"Power Word can only tell whether it is a lie, but not whether it is true or false. So you just need to ask him..." Annan stared at Alberto, who had also attended various banquets, but was now as humble as dust: "Why did you frame the princess? ?”

The restraint on him was lifted, and Alberto, who could speak, immediately defended: "I didn't!"

A dazzling red light emitted from Alberto's body.

Now there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong.

Reiner and Alberto were taken away by the guards. They would not be the only ones who would be punished.

The banquet continued, but there were obviously more eyes looking at Annan. Not long after, the big shots came over, hoping that Annan would hand over the princess to them. ,

"I refuse." Annan said without thinking.

"We will heal the princess..."

"I don't believe you."

Annan's attitude was very firm, even though he was here to discuss business. "I will find Senior Airies Montreal, she should be able to find a solution."

The big shots kept their mouths shut.

It's impossible for them not to know about the ancestors of the Tatoon Empire.

Their silence made Annan think that these guys seemed to be much worse than their ancestors.

But you can still pinch yourself to death easily...

At this time, an epic priest suddenly knelt down devoutly in front of Annan and the princess: "Prince and her knights, please return to Wenwen City and rebuild your home..."

The princess instinctively hid behind Annan. Annan said regretfully: "I'm sorry, but if the gods don't return, Wenwen City will never be able to return to its past... But at least you don't have to worry about me seeking power. Next, I will take the The princess looks for a way to restore her.”

As a queen knight who had been given a ring, he was more qualified to do this than anyone present.

The banquet came to an end, and tonight's experience undoubtedly gave the guests more to talk about, but for Annan, he couldn't make a single deal.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the first day of the celebration...

"How did you do it!" Crimson Princess asked excitedly, "Those humans were fooled by you like a bunch of pigs."

"This is the height of lying."

--Tell the truth.

Princess Crimson was very happy at first, but suddenly she looked suspicious: "You are so skilled, you can't fool me, right?"

"How could the clever Crimson Princess be deceived?"

"Hehe... No! You didn't answer my question!"

…

Now is not the time to take the princess back to the warehouse... Annan had no choice but to take Princess Crimson back to the warehouse first, and then he and Itilia stayed in the princess' cabin for one night.

Early the next morning, the city lord, who had stayed up all night, brought a list of names: a total of fourteen people who would pay the price for this false accusation.

"Too light." Annan pointed to the name of the nobleman who received the mysterious man's letter and said, "Just fined some assets?"

"He just got a letter..."

"Who knows if the mysterious person and letter he mentioned actually exist?"

"but……"

"It is the princess who is being slandered now... As a knight, I have the right to do anything." Annan's attitude was tough, but the Lord of Huadu City was a head shorter than him. "I think the survivors of Yiwen City never want to let go of these hunting princesses. villain."

"Okay..." The city lord surrendered.

"One more thing." Annan looked at the name at the top of the list, "I want to meet this Reiner."

…

Later, Annan came to the dungeon again.

He saw Reiner repenting in the cell - Reiner was not an outright villain like Alberto, he had a heart of justice and a desire for knowledge, but he just went astray.

And provoked Annan.

Faced with Reiner's confession, Annan whispered: "I'm very happy that you think so, Reiner."

"You...have we known each other before?" His tone made Reiner hesitate.

Annan said: "I want to tell you a story too...about Valencia."
