Lin Gui's figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner, and the effect of [Night Veil] faded.

He grabbed Shia, who was about to look out the window.

"Don't chase them, they've already escaped."

He wanted to ask Shia how she ended up there,

Before the words were even spoken, he keenly sensed something in the air...

There seemed to be a faint, lingering, strangely sweet smell.

The smell, when inhaled, caused a strange heat to rise in his lower abdomen.

He subconsciously took another breath, and his expression instantly turned strange.

"Aphrodisiac powder?"

Xia's face flushed red to her ears in an instant.

His eyes darted around nervously.

Elvia's heart pounded, but she reacted quickly.

She took a step forward without making a sound and kicked the straw on the ground deep under the bed with her toe.

His face contorted with helplessness and a hint of indignation, and he began to spout nonsense:

"It must be some clueless young nobleman who probably drank too much and went into the wrong room."

"Trying to use such underhanded tactics on his female companion here, but he got the address wrong!"

Her tone was certain, as if she had witnessed it herself.

Lin Gui narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Elvia's feigned composure and Shea's flushed, guilty face.

The timing and location of these two individuals' appearance, and this bizarre "coincidence."

There was something very wrong about it.

Shea felt her scalp tingle from the stare and almost exploded on the spot.

Seeing this, Elvia knew she had to change the subject immediately.

"Never mind this blunder for now! You angered the princess at the auction earlier."

"I just spoke to her with the Mermaid's Tear, and she said she couldn't possibly tell someone who looked down on her!"

Sure enough, upon hearing the crucial information concerning Avalon...

Lin Gui's attention was immediately drawn.

He heard that it was because he had said something disparaging to the princess at the auction.

Even with the mermaid's tears present, the other party refused to cooperate.

Lin Gui stared at Elvia speechlessly.

"It's not that you want me to be arrogant to prove my status as a noble young master from the Central City-State."

"Uh~~"

Elvia was somewhat embarrassed.

"I never expected my sister Wang to be so... petty."

Lin Gui glanced at the still-dark night outside the window and then estimated the time.

He then turned to Shia, who was trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, and asked.

"Sia, how well do you control the demonic energy within you now?"

Xia nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"As long as I don't take the initiative to transfer, I will never leak even a single detail."

"Alright." Lin Gui nodded and walked briskly towards the door. "Let's go."

Elvia was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Gui glanced back at her, his tone as indifferent as if he were suggesting she go for a walk.

"Of course we should tie up the princess. Shia has mastered her demonic energy and isn't afraid of being exposed."

Elvia stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, nearly choking on the sheer audacity of the plan.

She quickly stopped Lin Gui, who was already itching to fight.

"etc!"

"Hmm?" Lin Gui stopped and looked at her.

They assumed she was trying to stop it out of consideration for sisterly affection.

However, Elvia's eyes gleamed with an even greater cunning than his.

"If we're going to tie someone up, we need to do it the right way!"

"I know that Charles has an organization that does dirty work, and their methods are quite distinctive."

"We can dress up and frame him for this!"

She became more and more excited as she talked.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get some equipment and clothing that the organization usually uses!"

"I guarantee that when Diana wakes up, the first person she'll suspect is her dear third brother!"

Lin Gui and Xi Ya exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of speechlessness in each other's eyes.

This woman seems particularly enthusiastic and skilled at framing her own brothers and sisters.

……

The subsequent operations went exceptionally smoothly.

Elvia quickly acquired several sets of black night clothes.

The three of them first went back to a secluded villa in Elvia to change clothes.

They then infiltrated the royal palace area where the wedding banquet was being held.

The wedding banquet is now nearing its end.

They lost Elvia and the Forest Ghost, two "focuses".

This place has become a playground for Prince Charles and his supporters.

The three waited patiently.

Princess Diana, surrounded by guards and male companions, left the banquet hall looking somewhat tired.

They hung like ghosts above the princess's procession.

The [Night Veil] perfectly concealed all traces of her presence.

However, what they witnessed next nearly caused the three of them to fall off their staffs.

The eldest princess did not return directly to her residence, but instead went to a secluded private club.

A masquerade ball is being held there.

All the women were wearing masks.

The staff serving the customers were all handsome young men with strong physiques.

It's practically a high-class male escort club.

What's even more astonishing is that the princess's "nightlife" only truly began after she returned to her residence.

Several handsome men dressed in revealing clothes and with different styles were already waiting inside.

Upon seeing the princess return, they swarmed around her like pets vying for her favor...

The scene was too offensive to look at.

So much so that the three people riding on the oak staffs simultaneously raised their hands to cover their eyes.

"..." Lin Gui.

"..." Shea.

"..." Elvia

It wasn't until late at night that the exhausted princess finally dismissed all her male lovers and fell into a deep sleep alone.

The time has come.

Lin Gui silently slipped into the bedroom, manipulating his staff.

A brick struck the princess precisely on the back of the neck.

With a muffled thud, Diana fainted without even uttering a sound.

Lin Gui tossed her onto his shoulder like he was carrying a sack of potatoes.

Elvia quickly stepped forward and deliberately tore off a corner of the princess's nightgown.

They messed up the bed again, making it look like they had struggled.

And he cleverly left a fragment of a badge, which he had "borrowed" from the third prince's men, on the edge of the carpet.

The entire kidnapping and framing process was so simple that it even excited Elvia.

Back at the small villa where they were temporarily hiding, Elvia eagerly volunteered:

"Leave the interrogation to me! I know her better, I know how to get her to talk!"

Lin Gui glanced at her but didn't expose Elvia's attempt to sneak in her own agenda.

"Alright, go ahead and make sure you get to the bottom of things regarding Rogge and Avalon."
