I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 189 We've Fallen into a Trap
"Wait, don't pursue a cornered enemy!"

Ron raised his hand to try to persuade him to stay, but unfortunately Maximus didn't listen to him.

Ron had clearly noticed the problem with this deliberate yet accidental assassination attempt.

"What are your intentions as an outsider pointing fingers at the Knights and deliberately speaking up for the assassins?"

At this moment, another deputy corps commander suddenly shouted a question.

He has a square face like Steve, which makes him seem very upright.

If we were to ask who would be happiest at the moment the new king was assassinated, it would undoubtedly be him.

Although the deputy legion commanders jointly led the Knights, infighting and backstabbing among them were commonplace.
Now that old Maximus has fallen on hard times, he naturally wouldn't mind kicking him while he's down.

"I urge Your Majesty to order the expulsion of all outsiders from the new fortress to prevent any more assassins from appearing."

"I swear to protect Your Majesty with my life, and I will never retreat a single step!"

The gentleman spoke with great enthusiasm, not only shifting some of the blame onto others, but also expressing his absolute loyalty.

However, the moment he rebuked Ron, he didn't see Her Majesty the Queen's eyes turn cold.

She concealed her anger and said in a calm tone:

"Diamond, you stay at the fortress gate and meet Maximus."

Then he waved to Ron.

"Sir, please ride in my carriage with me."

Upon hearing this, Ron was completely stunned.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't martial law be declared, with the three deputy corps commanders leading their squads to supervise each other and thus achieve a balance of power?

In this way, any problems will not be easily exposed, and all issues will be resolved once the "Temple" is inherited.

But what are you abstract types doing?!
Especially Miss Catherine, who is usually quite clever, how come she has lost her mind now?

Ron put one hand to his forehead, fully appreciating how terrible and difficult his teammates were.

As for Diamond's ill intentions, the ever-magnanimous Ron didn't take them to heart at all.

He leaned on his longsword and, under the watchful eyes of the many knights, walked step by step to Catherine's side.

As he passed by Diamond, he deliberately gave a slight smile as a gesture of goodwill.

A smile can erase all enmity; this is probably what it means.

Upon seeing this, Diamond's spirits plummeted.

Is this showing off?
This is definitely someone showing off to me!

Damn it!
The deputy corps commander took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Traveling with a strange man raises concerns that he may harbor ill intentions towards you."

That would be better!

Hearing this, Catherine felt a mix of emotions.

She ignored the advice of her loyal subordinate and instead glanced at the honest and unassuming Lawson Upton beside her.

"You will stand guard at the city gate with Diamond and meet Maximus."

Upon hearing this, Lawson Upton's expression changed drastically. "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

"My word is law!"

Catherine's tone held a hint of authority, then she added with a half-smile:

"What? I haven't even inherited the 'Temple' yet, and you're already disobeying orders? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Diamond and Lawson Upton both knelt on one knee, heads bowed, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

The former's eyes were filled with worry, while the latter showed no emotion whatsoever, as indifferent as a stagnant pool.

The princess was more assertive and domineering than they had imagined, possessing the ruthlessness of a queen. She was also quite lustful.
Glancing at Ron's handsome, almost perfect face, Diamond thought to himself, "A scourge to the nation and its people."

Once the ceremony is over, he'll definitely get the family newspaper to expose this gigolo!
'This arrangement is not bad. Since a direct balance cannot be achieved, we can indirectly achieve a balance by sending everyone away.'

Seeing this, Ron said nothing and followed Catherine into the same carriage.

In his view, he was the last line of defense, and it was only reasonable for him to stay by Miss Wang's side.

However, the Queen began to busy herself as soon as she boarded the carriage, which made the blond boy feel that something was wrong.

"Miss Catherine, why are you drawing the curtains?"

As soon as Ron finished speaking, the entire carriage was plunged into darkness.

"."

Why does this feeling of familiarity keep coming from me?
The boy's lips twitched, and just as he was about to raise his hand to pull open the curtains, a slender hand grasped his palm.

"Don't rush, there's something for you to touch and see."

what?
Could it be a secret weapon?
Ron was taken aback, letting Catherine pull his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he touched a soft fabric and something cold. Before he could react, he suddenly felt two lips sandwich his hand between them.

Her Majesty the Queen did not speak in the darkness, only her breathing became slightly rapid.

Gan!
I was tricked!

The blond boy quickly withdrew his hand, instantly pulled open the curtains, and wiped his hands above the curtains at the same time.

As he turned to refuse Catherine, he suddenly saw Her Majesty the Queen sitting upright, her skirt perfectly straight.

She was so serious that it was as if she hadn't done anything like the slut she had just acted.

"What is it, Lord Ron?"

Seeing the shock in Ron's eyes, Catherine turned her head and smiled, her face full of concern.

"Uh, just now you..."

"What did I do just now? Did I do anything that displeased Lord Ron?"

The princess frowned and asked, leaving no room for doubt.

It turned out to be his unique skill.
Play dumb!

At this moment, Ron finally understood Olivia's feelings.

"No, it's nothing. I just feel that things aren't that simple. The assassin's behavior is abnormal, like he deliberately lured Maximus out."

"If it were me, I would definitely prepare a teleportation scroll and leave immediately if I failed."

Upon hearing this, the blonde girl nodded thoughtfully, but quickly smiled and said:

"No matter what, with you here, our defenses are strong enough."

What do you mean by "I'm enough"?

If I were in the picture, anyone looking to cause trouble would definitely take me into consideration.
Ron paused, then realized something was wrong, his face paled, and he immediately asked:

"Miss Catherine, you don't think that Baroness Mark is following me this time, do you!?"

"Is not it?"

Catherine raised an eyebrow, but upon seeing Ron's serious expression, she suddenly fell silent.

After a while, she narrowed her emerald eyes, as if talking to herself or sorting out the current situation.

"That would be troublesome."

“All three deputy legion commanders have sufficient reasons and motives. My father died suddenly, and I cannot tell which of them is still loyal to the royal family.”

"The assassin just now lured one of them away, leaving the remaining two..."

"Oh no! Jump out of the car!"

As soon as Miss Wang finished speaking, the magical fluctuations around the carriage suddenly surged, and a layered magic circle instantly expanded, encompassing Ron and Catherine.

Ron, who had the privilege of using teleportation nodes, was intimately familiar with this feeling.
That's teleportation!
