The man is on the Ark, a prosthetic doctor

How could it be her!

Volume 99: Chapter 097. Russell, Vina, and the Dangerous Band

"Let us welcome with applause the beautiful princess from the ancient country, Her Highness Alexandrina!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Bai Ye smiled with relief.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Under the soft lights, Vina stood on the stage, dazzling like a gem.

Her long hair was like a golden waterfall, flowing over her shoulders, like the last bright spot in the afterglow of the setting sun. Every strand of hair seemed to be kissed by the sun, revealing a dazzling light.

Bai Ye stood there watching this scene, feeling inexplicably dazed, as if he had returned to that rainy night. But unlike then, Vina was now wearing a gorgeous long dress.

Her beautiful face no longer had a hint of childishness, but instead was full of grace. Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like ripples on the lake. The long skirt, interwoven with dark blue and silver, wrapped around her body, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, mysterious and noble.

Everyone was amazed. Even in this great land, such pure beauty is rare.

The well-dressed ladies and celebrities in the audience couldn't help but lower their heads slightly, unable to look directly at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was shining brightly under the lights.

Vina stood at the center of the stage, but she seemed to be the focus of the whole world. Every subtle movement and every look of hers was full of indescribable power and charm.

Bai Ye felt a little emotional. After not seeing her for a few months, she had changed a lot.

Now she finally looks like a real princess.

In order to avoid being caught by Taigu, the two had not even sent messages to each other for such a long time. Bai Ye could only learn about Vina's situation through some news.

He was indeed confident that he could avoid Taikoo's supervision and send the message in, but Vina was in Victoria, the lair of Taikoo Group after all.

Such a risk cannot be taken.

Vina stood on the stage, waving to the people below, but her eyes were wandering around, as if she was looking for something.

Bai Ye certainly knew what she was looking for, but he didn't say anything and just retreated behind the crowd. Now was not the time to reminisce about the past, there would be plenty of time after leaving the banquet.

As for Vina, Maria on the side had already exclaimed in amazement.

“So beautiful…”

Even Margaret nodded in agreement.

Even for people of the same sex, it is hard not to be impressed by Vina's stunning beauty.

In fact, if we only talk about appearance, the two Margaret sisters are not inferior to Vina, but the problem is that Vina's temperament is too noble. Wearing an evening dress and being the center of attention, Vina is invincible.

If we must compare the winner, then perhaps only the Knight of Glory, who is bathed in the bright sun and the center of everyone's attention, will have the strength to fight.

"I never thought that the Grand Knight would actually invite Princess Victoria here. Could it be that Victoria has some kind of cooperation with us, Casimir?"

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe they want to introduce knight competitions to Victoria. After all, they make a lot of money."

"Ha, bring in Victoria? That depends on how much money they can pay~"

The merchants around were whispering to each other, discussing why Vina, the Princess Victoria, came to the Great Knight Territory.

Maria was also confused. She scratched her head and asked the same question as everyone else.

"Why did the Grand Knight invite Victoria's Crown Prince to the banquet?"

Everyone said they didn't know, only Bai Ye took a sip of the champagne in the glass and frowned secretly.

Because he suddenly discovered something.

——That dangerous band might not be targeting him.

Each member of the orchestra was fully armed, and it was obvious that they were not here to simply perform. They must have other intentions in coming to this banquet.

Could their target be Vina?

Imagine what would happen if Victoria's only crown prince was assassinated in Casimir?

Just like in Longmen, getting involved in a diplomatic dispute is only the first step. Even though Victoria's royal family has been hollowed out by the Swire Group, the crown prince is still the crown prince after all.

The Crown Prince died in a foreign country, and neither Victoria nor Swire Group could keep silent about it.

The consequences of this incident are very serious.

At that time, Vina's disappearance at Longmen alone made Wei Yanwu sweat profusely, and he even did something like hiring Penguin Logistics.

why?

Isn't it because you can't refuse?

Using Vina's disappearance as an excuse, the Victoria Royal Guards requested to move into Longmen. How could Wei Yanwu dare to say no?

a

That's the crown prince!

By not allowing the army to search the city, Victoria could have unilaterally declared war and even gained an advantage in international public opinion.

This was Taigu's conspiracy. One of the two cups of poisoned wine had to be chosen. Wei Yanwu was afraid of this, so he tried his best to delay time, and finally forced the Great Yan Empress to come to Longmen.

If Longmen is like this, what about the Grand Knight Leader?

iu

This time it's not just a matter of disappearance. If it was just a matter of disappearance, there would still be a chance to turn around, just buy time to find the missing person.

Wei Yanwu used this method at that time, and this is how he saved Longmen from Taigu's hands.

But if the crown prince dies directly, that would be a big problem.

negotiation?

Why talk about judgment? Just take action!

If Vina died here, the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Council would definitely be skinned alive by Taigu, otherwise Victoria's army would reach the eastern border of Casimir the next day.

Could it be that Vina was used as bait again?

But it shouldn’t be like that.

Taigu is not so stupid as to use the same trick twice, and other countries are even less stupid. This trick was able to catch Longmen off guard purely because it was a first-time kill. Other countries had already been prepared.

If he was worried about this happening, Casimir would not have allowed Vina to enter the country.

So Bai Ye could confirm that Vina came here this time at her own request, and the Grand Knights were obviously very welcoming, so there was probably no conspiracy involved.

But that weird band...could this matter be related to Leitania?

Bai Ye couldn't figure it out, so he just grabbed his hair in distress.

My head feels so itchy, I need to grow a brain!

After thinking for a long time, he still got no result. In this situation, even he could only take one step at a time. There was no better way.

"Margaret?" Bai Ye walked over and gently touched her arm.

"Mr. Bai Ye, please speak."

"This party isn't normal... I hope you can be prepared and react immediately if anything happens."

Margaret was shocked when she heard this and asked in a low voice: "Abnormal? Mr. Bai Ye, did you find anything?"

Bai Ye thought about it and decided not to tell her about the band's strange behavior, so as not to alert her.

"Well...it's nothing, it's just a premonition. Anyway, you should be prepared. If there is any danger, you should protect the doctor first. Is that okay?"

Margaret nodded. She also knew that Bai Ye had probably found the source of the danger, but just didn't want to tell her.

But even so, she was not dissatisfied, but remained vigilant. She believed in Bai Ye's words without a doubt, after all, he was a person that even Sir Russell admired very much.

Margaret still remembers that day.

Those words Russell said to her and her sister in the Grand Knight's office.

"This man is the hope of your Linguang family, the hope of the Grand Knight Lord, and even the hope of Casimir... If possible, you might try to have a good relationship with him. Maybe Cyril's granddaughters can really restore the glory of the Linguang family."

At that time, Margaret didn't quite understand what Russell meant. It was not until Bai Ye helped her repair her sword and spear that she understood what Russell meant through the Originium technique.

It turns out that Bai Ye is also a person who is unwilling to be carried away by the times, and is her partner on the road to realizing her ideals.

Although she understood it completely wrong, the result was the same. She began to try to get close to Bai Ye.

The younger sister successfully stayed by Bai Ye's side by becoming his apprentice, but Margaret had already made up her mind that she would approach Bai Ye as a partner and walk together on the long road of fighting against this era.

After all, that’s what partners are for.

Isn't it?

Margaret's blood boiled at the thought of the two of them fighting side by side in the future. She swore in her heart that she would never let her partner down and that she would protect the Doctor first no matter what happened.

Bai Ye didn't know why Margaret was so excited, but seeing that she was indeed on guard, he felt a little relieved.

Maria came over and whispered, "Master, why do you think the princess came to us?"

Bai Ye shrugged helplessly, "Who knows what she is thinking, maybe she is here for tourism."

"Travel? Impossible... maybe it's possible. After all, the knight competition led by the Great Knight is unique in this land. It's normal to come here specially to watch the competition." S

Hearing this, Bai Ye shook his head and said, "You are really wrong. Vina doesn't like fighting and killing. She definitely wouldn't come all the way to see it."

After finishing speaking, Bai Ye felt a little annoyed that he accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Maria also noticed the blind spot and asked curiously: "Vina? Is that the princess' name? Hiss... Master, why do I feel like you are very familiar with her!":

"Well, not too familiar, just acquaintance."

"What!"

Maria's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Master, you actually know that princess? That's Victoria's... No, Master, can you help me get an autograph, please!"

The girl looked excited and held onto Bai Ye's sleeves without letting go.

"That's enough, stop making trouble."

At this time, Vina on the stage had finished her speech and walked down the stairs holding up her skirt.

Businessmen and politicians rushed forward, wanting to make themselves known to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but they did not dare to get too close to Vina, so they could only gather around her.

Even though she was surrounded by people, Vina still smiled and talked freely, moving forward and backward with ease. As Bai Ye saw, in just a few months, she had matured a lot and became a qualified crown prince. She was completely different from the girl who used to pester him to build a snowman.

Bai Ye suddenly felt a little anxious.

She had changed so much that he could hardly recognize her...

At this time, the banquet finally officially began, elegant music sounded, and waiters carrying plates nimbly shuttled among the crowd. Bai Ye had nothing to do, so he watched the orchestra while slowly walking to Margaret's side.

"How's it going Margaret, now that the sword and spear are repaired, are you comfortable using them?"

"Of course!" Margaret said seriously, "Not only is it easier to use, but even the performance of Originium skills has been enhanced!"

This result was just as Bai Ye expected. In order to make the sword and spear perfectly match Margaret's Originium skills, he simply redesigned the system.

The new version of the sword and spear was designed for her alone, so of course the effect is good.

"It's just that the reward I promised you..."

"Maria is your sister. We are all family. Forget about the reward."

"But this is not good!" Margaret said seriously.

"What's wrong with that... If it really doesn't work, I'll just count it as a loan from you now, and you can pay me back when you have money. Is that okay?"

Margaret nodded in agreement.

Freeloading goes against her philosophy.

"To be honest, I have to thank Mr. Bai Ye. If you hadn't helped me fix my sword and spear, I might not have passed the audition so smoothly."

Auditions?

Bai Ye asked doubtfully: "That's not right, aren't you the defending champion? Why are you starting from the auditions?"

Normally, not to mention the champion, even the titled knight can compete from the official competition. But Margaret, as the defending champion, actually has to participate in the audition?

“Because the spokesperson contacted me and said that my participation in the auditions would increase the ratings, so I participated.”

Margaret didn't say that the reason she returned to the knightly competition was to find a way to gain fame and influence, both of which could help her better change Casimir.

And participating in the knockout rounds is also a good opportunity.

That's why she agreed.

"So you have passed the auditions now?"
