"Speaking of which, were there any negative effects after that incident?"

Mu En suddenly asked.

After all, it was a major event that the princess of the empire was assassinated. During the three days he was asleep, it should be impossible that there would be no aftermath.

As his personal maid, An would definitely learn about these things.

"It did have a certain impact."

An responded while cleaning up the medicine bowl:

"First of all, it's about the identity of the assassin. After the master's personal interrogation, those who disguised themselves as maids did not seem to be professional assassins and assassins, but a bounty hunter organization that believed in the evil god named the King of Withering and had been active underground in Belrand for many years.

It is said that as long as there is money, they are willing to do anything."

"The King of Withering... Bounty Hunter..."

Mu En murmured in a low voice. In his memory, the evil god named the King of Withering did not seem to appear in the original book, let alone the bounty hunter organization that believed in him.

"Sure enough, the limitations of the novel are too great."

Mu En sighed in his heart.

Novels are all based on the protagonist's perspective. It is impossible to fully describe the entire world view, nor is it possible to clearly present every event that develops in the world.

In other words, once the plot deviates from the content of the original book or deviates from the protagonist's line, it will become completely unpredictable.

"Master Mu En, don't worry. The organization was actually wiped out by the master himself last night." An added.

"...Is that so."

Mu En was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile with relief.

Although the plot did not develop according to the original book, it was just so that he was still the son of the noble duke.

He didn't have to worry about the direction of this matter at all, because someone would naturally handle it for him.

"What about the mastermind behind the hiring of the hunter organization?"

"This cannot be found out for the time being."

An shook his head: "All members of the hunter organization are cursed. Once this issue is involved, they will spontaneously combust and die."

"Sure enough... is that so?"

Dare to assassinate the princess openly, naturally there is no way to leave any clues.

But even the beggars on the street knew that those who had the motive to assassinate Celisia were none other than those forces.

"It is said that His Majesty the Emperor was furious about this matter and personally ordered to clean up the rats in the underground of Belrand."

"This is really..."

Mu En smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking in his heart:

"It seems that the underground black market cannot be visited in the near future."

24. Words spoken are like water spilled

Everything in the world is relative. There is prosperity and light, and relative to that, there will be deep darkness.

For Belrand, one of the largest cities in the continent, the shadows that have grown in secret have long reached a terrifying level, which can be seen from the underground black market where "everything can be bought".

This has long been a deformed expansion.

It is just because of the connivance or acquiescence of some people that these shadows have not only not been restrained in recent years, but even have signs of eroding the bright side.

But a shadow is a shadow, it cannot stand the light, and it can indeed grow freely in the dark, but once it is seen by the owner of the supreme power in this country, that is, the "Emperor", it will inevitably usher in a catastrophe.

"I remember that there was a similar incident in the original book."

"It started with someone offering a bounty on the black market for the life of His Majesty's favorite concubine, and then someone actually took it and succeeded in assassinating her."

"The furious His Majesty ordered the Royal Knights to thoroughly cleanse the underground world of Belrand. The brutal pursuit lasted for three full months. Because so many people died, the sewers in the royal city were dyed red, so it was also called the Blood River Incident!"

"After that incident, the protagonist also complained that even thieves disappeared in the royal city for a long time!"

"But that should have happened two years later!"

When Mu En thought of this, his face turned pale:

"In other words, in the dark, just because I gave my maid a two-day holiday, a major event that was very important to the protagonist in the original book was directly advanced by two years!"

"Fuck, what butterfly effect!"

Mu En couldn't help but swear.

"Huh? What butterfly?"

An on the side cast a puzzled look.

"No, nothing, I mean the butterflies this year are particularly beautiful, yes, particularly beautiful."

"Hehe."

Mu En made a few casual excuses and fell into deep thought again.

"However, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be considered early. After all, this time it can't be compared to the Blood River incident in the original book. The assassination didn't really succeed, so it's probably just a warning to others."

"But even so, the underground world of Belland should be quiet for a long time, at least no one will dare to assassinate the royal family again!"

"That is to say, the assassination of the princess that was supposed to happen two years later may not happen."

"If the princess doesn't die, the real Blood River incident won't happen."

"But the Blood River incident in the original book is an event that has a great impact on the protagonist in the middle period!"

"The protagonist who participated in the underground black market auction was involved in the battle between the Royal Knights and the underground world, and fell into crisis several times. In the crisis, the protagonist relied on the halo of destiny and gained rapid growth in strength!"

"It can be said that the Blood River incident is an important chapter for the protagonist to transition from the academy chapter to the later salvation chapter."

"But now... it's grown old and gone. Just because of me, Moon Campbell, I gave my maid two days off!"

"It's over. Isn't it because of this that it affected the protagonist's subsequent rescue operations?"

Mu En was horrified to think about it carefully.

If the protagonist cannot defeat the final BOSS, the demon who breaks out of the seal, the whole world will be doomed!

Just because he gave his maid two days off, the world is gone!

"No, no, no, no, no, no, this is completely over the top. How can the world be so fragile!"

"Even if the Blood River incident is really gone, there will definitely be other incidents for the protagonist to grow!"

"And the Blood River incident may not be over yet. Everything is just my conjecture!"

"I don't have to worry so much at all. The protagonist is wearing a cheat, so I don't need to worry!"

Mu En kept comforting herself mentally, and finally calmed down.

In fact, it was because a small part of the plot did not follow the original book, which resulted in the assassination of Celcia, which left Mu En with a psychological shadow. She was afraid that if she, a little butterfly, flaps her wings again, something terrible will happen again. big event.

"In short, let's believe in the protagonist!" Mu En shook his head and stopped thinking about this.

"Master, please have a good rest, I'll leave first." Seeing that it was getting late, An bowed and prepared to leave.

"OK, all right."

"Ah, by the way, Master, I have your letter."

An suddenly handed an envelope to Mu En.

"letter?"

Mu En turned over the envelope and found that there was neither a postmark nor the name of the sender.

"Whose letter?"

"It's Your Highness Celcia."

An respectfully said:

"She personally asked me to give it to you."

"...It's her."

Mu En was a little surprised, but didn't say anything and just asked An to leave and rest first.

He himself stared at the white envelope for a long time.

"Anyway, it must be some curse words for me."

Mu En smiled self-deprecatingly.

For a proud princess like Celcia, who values ​​chastity more than her life, she would definitely not write a special letter to thank herself for saving her after doing that kind of thing to her.

"I just hope I don't scold him too harshly."

Mu En opened the envelope.

Surprisingly, the above was not scolding Mu En.

Instead, it uses Juanxiu’s neat font and simply writes a sentence that will make people confused at first glance:

[Just pretend that you are half a man, Moon Campbell]

Half a man?

Can men still be divided into half?

Mu En was a little confused.

But soon, he thought of the reason why Celcia said that.

Because of what he said before.

【Now...do I look like a man? My highness. 】

Those were the words he said to show off when he was shielding Celiasia from the knife.

However, if he really dies because of this, then this sentence will become a fatal sentence, and Celecia may not forget this sentence for the rest of her life.

But...he's not dead yet!

If he hadn't died, this sentence would be too fair!

Just like the domineering president in a Mary Sue novel, he would hook the heroine's chin and smile evilly:

"Do you think I'm MAN? Woman."

Ahhhhh!

What a shame!

Can I go back and give myself a slap in the face?

You said you were going to die, so why are you pretending before you die?

It’s so awkward to play!

Even Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't stand it and wrote a letter specifically to mock you!

"I can not make it!"

Mu En quickly tore off the envelope, wrapped herself in the quilt, and moved around like an earthworm.

"Half a man?"

Outside Mu En's room, An stared at the door tightly and murmured to herself:

"That means that for you, Your Highness, it is possible for Master Mu En to become a man?"

“What would it be like to be a man, would you fall in love with him?”

"Ah, no, Master Mu En, how can you accept the love of a second woman besides me?"

An's eyes gradually became colder.

"It seems that some things must be accelerated."
