I have a date with the devil

Chapter 14（2）

At this time, there were some murmurs in the crowd: "This hydra, it seems to have seen the great prince before turning its head away."

"Father Okwe said it would never hurt the master, could it ......"

The great prince burst out in anger: "No evidence, who is slandering me? Come out and confront me if you have the guts."

The questioning voice lowered, but then instantly sprang up more, buzzing non-stop.

Ye Miao froze.

She didn't expect things to go in this direction. Could it be that the Second Prince's purpose was to slander the First Prince in order to destroy the Queen's impression of him?

But, just by the point that "the hydra dodges when it sees the big prince", it is far from enough to convict the big prince - just bite the bullet that it is a coincidence. After all, if we are serious, she and the Prince were in the direction of the head of the snake, she is also suspected.

At this point, most of those who dare to speak are some foreign guests: "Yes, the hydra has been attacking people, no tendency to stop. It was only after the Grand Prince stopped it that it suddenly fled. Just now, Lord Chancellor was also at the scene, so he should have seen it too, right?"

The corner of the Chancellor's mouth twitched. He did see the whole process from a distance, and after listening to the others' doubts, his heart muttered and doubts rose. But his youngest daughter will soon marry the first prince, the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, if he said the testimony against the first prince, is also harming his own interests, so he made peace and said: "The first prince is brave and fierce, and there are so many guards surrounding it, the hydra, no matter how fierce, is only a magic creature, it is normal to be scared back, right? "

The courtiers of the Grand Prince's faction came back to their senses and stood up to refute those who were talking: "That's right, how could His Highness raise such a thing! It's absurd."

The queen's face became more and more ugly, waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "This matter still needs to be carefully investigated, and until then, I don't want to see anyone being wrongly accused. Before the water settles, whoever dares to slander the crown prince with unfounded speculations, I will treat them all as disrespectful to me."

When the queen said this, the voices around her disappeared. Even if they still had doubts, the blind could see that the queen intended to protect her eldest son, so they all shut up.

Just when the scene was under control, a pretty-looking dancer suddenly ran out of the crowd, kneeled down in front of the queen with a thud, and said loudly, "Queen! I have something to report. It's not empty talk, I have proof that the Grand Prince used dark magic to tame the Hydra!"

The crowd was dumbfounded, and even the Grand Prince stared at her in disbelief.

Ye Miao was also stunned by this turn of events.

She remembered this woman. She was the first prince's favorite concubine and the woman the second prince had planted by his side in the first place ......

The reaction of the hydra just now was that the first prince could not be convicted. But if you add the testimony of the person closest to the first prince, you can definitely greatly increase the credibility, so that the first prince can not retaliate.

The queen frowned and said in a cold voice, "What are you?"

The favored concubine bowed her head again, then straightened up, "I am His Highness the Grand Prince's concubine, I have been with His Highness for four years, I am familiar with everything about His Highness, and I am also a knowledgeable person about the secrets of dark magic."

The blue veins at the corners of the Grand Prince's forehead blossomed out, and he stormed like a thunderbolt, forcing himself closer to her: "Nonsense! You ......"

The queen took a deep breath, stared at her coldly and sternly, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to say a single false word, I will never spare you!"

"Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness the Grand Prince has been researching dark magic since a few years ago, I have seen him secretly collect books and scrolls on dark magic, and also use those unpopular women in his bedchamber to test them. That's why in his harem, every month a woman disappears. His Highness doted on me, so he kept me in his service. Not long ago, His Highness befriended a merchant from hillock Luo, obtained Hydra's corpse from him, and hid it in the backyard of the palace to keep it ......," the favored woman was sobbing, but her diction was exceptionally clear, as if she had rehearsed it countless times in her mind.

Each sentence, the queen's face a few ugly.

"But! This Hydra is very fierce, earlier I witnessed the scene where Your Highness almost couldn't control it and it escaped from the magic box! If I had dissuaded Your Highness from destroying this demonic creature, I wouldn't have let it escape today and caused so many people to get hurt!" At the end of the sentence, the favored lady once again bowed her head: "Your Majesty, what I said is true and absolutely not false. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search the Grand Prince's palace immediately, and they will definitely find the notes and scrolls related to dark magic, as well as the snake molts of the Hydra!"

The great prince was shaking with anger and drew his sword, and his teeth burst out a sentence of monstrous anger: "You cheap woman, how dare you slander me in public ......"

　The favored girl screamed, climbed up, and hid behind Father Okwe.

Ye Miao could hardly say anything.

This speech was too poisonous and almost without loopholes. The Grand Prince is the future king, there is no need to usurp the throne. So the favored girl bit the bullet that the Grand Prince was interested in dark magic - the Grand Prince had previously let loose and would be tainted with dark magic, which didn't sound strange.

Not only that, she also attributed the frequent cases of women disappearing in the royal palace earlier to the sins of the eldest prince as well.

If I'm not mistaken, she should have hidden the "evidence" given to her by the second prince in the palace, rounding off the play of the thief's bank frame-up.

Once the evidence is found, combined with the confession of the favorite girl, as well as the suspicions of the previous riot, this matter is almost a nail in the coffin, there is no way to defend.

Dark magic is an evil thing that is severely combated in any country. If word got out that the crown prince of Abil was not only not leading by example, but also developing this interest behind the scenes, then the trust of the people in him would certainly collapse.

In seriousness, he might be removed from the position of the crown prince.

The first prince's face was pale, and he obviously understood that he had stepped into a trap. He turned to the queen and said hoarsely: "Mother, someone must have instructed her to accuse me falsely, what with the dark magic and the hydra, I knew nothing about it!

The queen's body swayed, looking like she had aged several years, suddenly turned her head and pointed at the head guard: "Go immediately to the Grand Prince's palace to search. As for ...... the Grand Prince and all his entourage, none are allowed to leave, all follow me into the palace."

Ye Miao's heart twitched as his gaze traced the side of the Grand Prince's frustrated face.

This person, despite his reckless nature, did not seem to be a bad person. At least now it was wrongly accused.

The Hydra's escape was a coincidence because of her, but in the end, it helped the second prince by mistake and became the most unimpeachable evidence to prove the "crime" of the first prince - the words of the favorite girl can be fabricated, the dark magic book can be a frame-up. Hydra's reaction, but can not be denied.

Ye Miao step forward, for a moment, want to rush the queen to say what she overheard in the woods. However, reason soon overcame the impulse.

--She had no evidence.

She had no evidence. Compared to the first prince, who had all the evidence, her hearsay words were not enough to restore the disadvantage of the first prince, and might even be fiercely denounced - after all, what she heard was the second prince's affair with the chancellor's daughter, and once she said it, she would definitely offend both parties.

The most crucial thing is, how can she explain that the Hydra is afraid of her, not the First Prince?

This would inevitably expose the fact that she had entered the forbidden land and had also concluded a contract with the monster.

In her speculation, the queen was the mastermind who imprisoned the monster. Bringing such things to her face might be asking for death.

Ye Miao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She was only a hostage princess, rashly joining in the strife of a foreign kingdom, the slightest mistake would be pulverized. Even if you want to help, you must find another opportunity ......

The riot that night stopped at this order from the queen. The nobles who wanted to see the fun after their death were put on the carriage back to the palace.

The fact that the first prince was testified by his favorite girl, Shana and Margo have not yet learned, but the matter of the Hydra attack on the banquet has already reached their ears.

When she saw that her highness was distracted, Marg thought she was in shock and put on her clothes, patted her back and comforted her gently and slowly.

Ye Miao smiled gratefully and bowed her head in contemplation again.

Back in the palace, it was already late at night.

The second prince, who had been sent back to the palace early, had not yet woken up, and the queen went to visit him first. The first prince also temporarily stayed in the former residence of the palace. As for what the favorite girl said, the queen ordered that no one should spread the word until there was a final decision.

After washing up, Ye Miao did not feel like sleeping at all. After Margot and Shana were resting, she quietly wandered into the garden.

Thanks to the monster, her guts are getting bigger and bigger. Today, even the hydra did not dare to approach her, so, staying outside alone late at night, there is even less to fear.

Blowing the cool breeze for a while, Ye Miao is still a little distracted, looking at the sky, suddenly want to find someone to talk to.

The first person that comes to mind is actually Berial.

Yesterday, the monster estimated that he did not want to be disturbed and did not let Berial appear. So, she has not seen him for ten days.

If this time to go to, encountered or the monster ...... with Him that small-minded, never lose nature, she will not be caught by Him again to tease, but also be asked to kiss Him?

In that case, would she not be at a great loss? Yesterday, she kissed him once ......

The most hateful thing is that the monster actually said she enjoyed it.

Ye Miao's ears are red, angrily picked a blade of grass, rubbed and thrown away.

Which eye saw her enjoy? You are the one who enjoys.

In the celestial war, Ye Miao finally could not resist his legs, but still wandered to the former king's palace near the corridor to stand.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright. The king's palace was under martial law, and everywhere was lit up. But the light could not reach the forbidden palace, which stood alone in the darkness.

Just as Ye Miao was lost in thought, her waist suddenly tightened and she was swept into an embrace. She was so frightened that she almost screamed out, a cold hand had covered her lips, and the person's cold lips were against her earlobe.

Ye Miao shuddered, and a familiar voice rang in her ears: "...... want to see me?"
