Academic gathering with Lich colleagues

She knocked on the door of the small house, walked past the mountain of pots and pans, and looked at the cooks.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Taking care of Lyle's little monster all night must have been exhausting."

Lewes's personal chef replied to their queen with a smile.

"It is our pride to be able to take care of the children of the Savage of Lewes, Your Highness Keira."

"The amount of food that little black monster ate at first really scared us."

"However, feeding is actually simpler than you might imagine."

"We can manage to work the first half of the night."

Kayla blinked.

"The first half of the night?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, didn't you know?"

"That little girl named Nia ran away in the middle of the night and never came back for dinner."

Chapter 364 The Strongest Matchmaking Team in History

Breathing in the damp, chilly air of Cassandra again was impressive. The weather had turned cold; you could feel the chill in the air.

This also brought Lyle back to his senses.

Lyle and Ralf stayed in Lewesser for five days, and the symptoms of their alcohol poisoning had completely disappeared. Knowing his nephew was safe, Cassandel's most dedicated sheriff gave a brief greeting and left alone, using the newly opened portal to the Wandering City to return to Cassandel.

Lyle and Nia followed quietly behind; now was the time to test Echer's results.

Nia hadn't recovered her lost memories, which made her a little agitated. After being comforted by Lyle and Medusa, she finally stopped biting her bone-like nails and focused on eating.

Lyle had no intention of meeting with Ralf; he had a bad feeling about it.

The tall man returned to the police station, and as he silently passed through the gate, all around him fell silent. The gentlemen who had been arguing and making a racket immediately made way for him.

Lyle had initially thought those were traits of his uncle, but now he realized it was probably a psychological suggestion given to him by the Dream Walker, making Ralph portray himself as an unapproachable person.

Although he himself is indeed difficult to approach.

Nia's transformed fluid spread along the beams of the police station, peering inside through invisible cracks in the walls.

Ralph roared like a cold cyclone all the way, finally stopping in front of Mr. Garrett.

Garrett glanced up and saw Ralf's image appear briefly on his monocle before burying himself back into the document.

"It's much later than the 'vacation' you applied for now..."

Ralph removed his hat in greeting and bowed, during which a secret conversation took place.

There was a minor mishap, but it's all been resolved.

"It's quite unexpected to hear this from you," Garrett said, setting the stamped letter aside. "Don't you need a cleaner?"

Ralph put his hat back on and smiled. "I'm a germaphobe."

Ralph had expected his old boss to make a few sarcastic remarks, just like usual.

As a result, Mr. Garrett burst into laughter in his office without any manners. He stood up, leaned forward, and patted Ralph on the shoulder with his large hand.

"Well done this time! You bastard!"

Garrett's unusual behavior left Ralph completely baffled.

"what?"

“Haha, I understand.” Garrett handed a document to Ralph with a broad smile. “Here you go, your work.”

"Bless you, my friend, Inspector Ralph."

Police Inspector?

Ralph narrowed his eyes. He didn't question Garrett's words, put the document in his pocket, and left in silence.

Ralph was puzzled, but said nothing, because there was a coat of arms on the cover.

A rose emblem with three petals.

That emblem represented a name that Ralph held firmly in his heart.

Narlania.

This is a transfer order from Narancia, and Violet is the police inspector of Narancia.

Ralph's calm exterior concealed his complex inner world; he quickened his pace and went straight home.

Ralph's mindset must have changed, otherwise he would have noticed the quiet around his house.

There was also Lyle crouching stealthily outside the window.

To an outsider, there was only a furtive young man outside Ralph's window.

But in reality, there are seven unseen people.

Lyle looked like he had a stomachache and whispered.

"You actually deployed the Night Owl Squad, Echel." Using the most elite assassination squad of the Kingdom of Lewesser to... interfere with their relationship was something Lyle hadn't expected.

The turtledove's calls were as lively as ever; judging from the source of the sound, he was probably standing on the eaves above Lyle's head.

"Using the Night Owl Squad as matchmakers, the old king truly lives up to his reputation."

Echer grunted. "No matter the means, that's the Night Owl's motto. There's no distinction between noble and lowly missions, especially when the target is Lord Protector Ralph. If you can't even do this, you can all disband right now."

Lyle sensed that things had gone beyond his expectations, and with some trepidation, he continued, "So, Echel, what did you have the Night Owls do?"

Lark: "I secretly infiltrated and investigated the relevant personnel, including Mr. Andris Spink, who coveted Sharon Bennet and his family, Ms. Violet's wealthy family Bennet, and Earl Tyron, the lord of Nalania who was in charge of preparing the wedding. I also have information on some other relevant personnel."

Nightingale, “I instigated a disturbance in a neighboring province of Narancia, a dispute over a slave revolt. This forced the royal family to send officials to oversee the aftermath.”

"I designed the traps that sabotaged the carriages on the road, and those noble gentlemen 'coincidentally' decided to stay overnight in Narancia," said the turtledove.

Swift, "then 'coincidentally' collected evidence of the Spink family's plot to rebel."

"Wait! You fabricated evidence of a family rebellion? Slander?!"

"Relax, Lyle. All crows are black. There are no nobles without superfluous thoughts in this era. We've just lifted the cover."

"Then they added a little bit of embellishment."

Lyle had already foreseen the fate of this poor family; the wedding might turn into a funeral, and they would be discovered as rebels by the royal family.

Lyle sympathized with Ralph's rival for three seconds, then continued to await the Night Owl Squad's report.

"I seduced Earl Tyrell, arousing his greedy desire for the Bennett family's wealth. As the betrothed family of the rebels, facing the lord's threat, the Bennett family spent a fortune to dispel the Overseer's interest in them."

"Wait a minute!" Lyle's jaw dropped as he looked toward the area that smelled of fragrance.

"You even betrayed the Bennett family?!"

You guys screwed over Ralf's future father-in-law!

"In fact, Chief Bennett also had to face a year of house arrest in order to clear himself of suspicion."

Good grief, losing money and now being locked up.

"The parrot, Violet herself will also be investigated, and she must temporarily step down from her police superintendent duties until the royal family's attention shifts."

This?! Isn't this harming friendly forces?!

“No, Lyle, this is necessary work.”

"To bring Mr. Ralf and Violet together, it's not just about removing obstacles, but also about overcoming the existing class differences."

"Wealth, family, and power are all obstacles."

"The Duke of Protectorate is the Duke of Lewesser, but... this is a title that is not officially recognized by your government."

"Mr. Ralf is just an ordinary sheriff on the surface. What right does he have to pursue Violet, a wealthy and high-ranking young lady?"

"Don't talk about mutual love. For these fools, marriage is politics, a union of interests."

So, you've reduced Violet's economic power and social status to the same level as Ralf's?

“I altered the local laws,” Echer said excitedly. “I secretly rewrote the original laws of Narancia, and all the judges who could recite the original code by heart are now bedridden with indigestion for several days.”

"The law stipulates that when a local sheriff or police inspector initiates an investigation for any reason, his/her rights and duties will be temporarily assumed by his/her experienced mentor."

“Violet’s only sheriff instructor is Mr. Ralf.”

The rival and his family were executed by the royal family, the Bennet family's wealth dwindled, the patriarch was placed under house arrest, and even the thought of marrying into a noble family would leave a psychological scar.

Violet's position as police inspector will be temporarily filled by Ralf, and the two will become the closest of colleagues from now on.

This is the result of the Night Owl Squad.

It has far exceeded Lyle's expectations, but no matter how you look at it, it's all too much of a commotion!

What should I do! Uncle Ralph must have guessed that I've been meddling!

Lyle stood there, worried about his life.

No! There's still hope! All of this can be explained by "coincidence," the key is to erase the traces of myself and the Night Owl Squad.

Lyle asked Echel with great anticipation.

“Mr. Echer, you didn’t leave any trace at the scene, did you? For example, signing your name or asking Ralph for credit.”

Echer shouted.

"How could that be? We, the Lewesser Rangers, are chivalrous outlaws. We do good deeds and would never leave our names behind!"

Okay, that's good. It seems there's still room for excuses.

"We have attributed all the credit to you, Lyle, and have even written a personal letter to Ralph in your name. I'm sure the Duke of the Kingdom will be very pleased."

"???"
