Age of Mysticism Chapter 263

Chapter 263 Emperor's Grandson Sinclair

While Sandpaper and Kestrel prepare to rescue the sisters, Luke is having a headache for someone who suddenly stalks the door.

The grandson of Sinclair, who returned to the imperial capital from the northern border of the empire, is as energetic as a husky. He obeyed the order of the eldest prince, and came to the Sixth Office of the Secret Service to assist in the investigation of Princess Dai'er's attack, and completely forgot about "assisting".

Sinclair never knocked on the door when he entered Luke's office. He opened the door and yelled, "Meteor Directorate, I have made a new discovery about Aunt Dai's case... Karina, you go out first, I want to talk to you." The Governor discusses the case."

Kelina, who was reporting to Luke, looked at Luke asking for instructions.

Luke waved his hand: "These matters will be dealt with according to your suggestion, just write a circular letter for me to sign. Go back to work..."

"Yes, my lord!"

Carina carried a large stack of documents in her arms and walked to the door. She bowed her knees slightly to salute Sinclair and ran out with her head bowed, but she still heard Sinclair's whistle.

Sinclair stared at Karina and ran back to her office before closing the door and sitting opposite Luke. The steps were not as steady and calm as a member of the royal family, full of sexual aura.

"With such a beautiful reformer secretary in front of me every day, no matter how busy the work is, it is a pleasure. Governor, give her to me, and I will exchange it for you with a manor outside the city."

Luke quickly signed a document in front of him and put it in the drawer on his right hand.

"His Royal Highness Sinclair, Kailina is the property of the Imperial Secret Service. During the period of assisting me, she has a lot of confidential information. I advise you not to get the idea of highly classified personnel of the Secret Service, and stay away from Kailina. , especially during this sensitive period.”

Facing Luke's warning, Sinclair shrugged and raised his legs.

"Yes, my father also warned me that this is a sensitive period." Sinclair said with a casual attitude, "Especially Aunt Agatha, with your assistance, is fighting for the crown prince with great momentum. It's hostile to me."

Luke said with a smile: "These days, you treat my place as your home, I thought you didn't know."

"So what if I know? It is my father, uncle and aunt who are fighting for the crown prince. What does it have to do with me! If my father wins, no matter how many illegitimate children my father has outside, I will be his only legal son. No one Fight me. And if my father loses..." Sinclair thought for a moment and said, "I'll be a general!"

"You are optimistic!"

"So what if I'm not optimistic? Who made me a member of the Augustine family, this is my destiny! Although I don't like it, and even fled to the north, I still have to face it in the end."

Luke looked at Sinclair and had a new understanding of the grandson of the emperor.

According to the normal historical process, in the story of the collapse of the Golden Shield Empire, Augustine the Great died of illness, and the two princes fought for the throne in the imperial capital launched a **** night. With the support of his mother's family, Sinclair obtained the military power of the Northern Legion, but before he led the Northern Legion to the Imperial Capital to support the First Prince, the enemy country in the north took the opportunity to attack.

At this time, the Northern Legion had mobilized most of the elite during the Imperial Civil War, but Sinclair still led the Northern Legion to defend the border. In the end, without any support, the Northern Army of the Empire ran out of ammunition and food, and the entire army was wiped out. Sinclair died in battle...

He has the opportunity to retreat, and he can even lead the northern army to abandon the border and retreat to the city of St. Lun at the beginning of the war, first to seize the throne and then drive away foreign enemies.

But no one knows what Sinclair was thinking at the time.

Some people think that he wiped out the elite army of the empire that was still in the hands of the royal family, and became the last straw that broke the camel's camel. He was a brave and foolish man.

Some people think that he cannot predict the future. As a border guard general, his duty is to guard the land of the country. He chose to give up fighting for the throne and die for his country. He is a true hero.

Now in Luke's eyes, this is a rebellious guy, a soldier.

"Okay! Let's not talk about this." Luke has no good way to deal with Sinclair for the time being, so he had to return to the topic: "You just mentioned the case of Princess Dai, and you have something new?"

Talking about Princess Dai, Sinclair became energetic. He leaned on the table and whispered mysteriously: "It's not a new discovery, it just confirmed one of my conjectures."

"What guess?" Luke didn't think that Sinclair, who had just returned from the north, could spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

"It's boring to talk about the result directly. Let me talk about my reasoning process first." Sinclair said proudly: "I noticed a detail in the information you released. The bottom of Aunt Dai'er's carriage was opened from the inside. Yes, the camouflage cloak hidden under the seat is also gone.

Just now I carefully checked Aunt Dai'er's carriage, there was no damage inside, and the bottom of the carriage was not opened violently... So I deduce that Aunt Dai'er was not kidnapped, she ran away by herself. "

"This is absolutely impossible!" Luke said loudly: "At that time, the royal knights and the palace guards had already controlled the situation, and the support arrived immediately. Princess Dai's departure from the well-defended carriage did not expose herself to danger. ?

And how to explain the handmaid's coma? Could it be that Princess Dai knocked her out?

We must pay attention to rationality in solving cases. Anyone who does anything has a motive. Your Highness Sinclair, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Solving crimes is different from your way of thinking about fighting. To solve a case is not to presuppose a conjecture and then find evidence, but to make positive reasoning based on all known clues.

In this regard, no one is more professional than our Imperial Secret Service. Please don't talk nonsense, wrong information can lead to serious consequences. "

The inference was denied, but Sinclair still insisted on his inference.

"Governor, you don't know Aunt Del. Do you think that Aunt Del and Aunt Agatha have the best relationship...then you are wrong." Sinclair shook his head and said, "Aunt Agatha's character , Although she likes Aunt Dai'er, she can't play with her. The person who has the best relationship with Aunt Dai'er...is me, I took her to climb trees and ride horses when she was a child."

Luke was surprised: "It's a bit unexpected."

"It's a little unexpected, but Aunt Dai'er has no playmates since she was a child, and I have no brothers or sisters, at least not in name. I want to have a younger sister, and Aunt Dai'er is younger than me." Sinclair very Reminiscing about the past, he came back to his senses and said: "Aunt Dai'er has always wanted to escape from the palace, and the attack that day was an excellent opportunity.

She took advantage of the chaos outside the carriage to draw the attention of the guards on the assassin, first stunned the personal maid with magic, and then opened the bottom door of the carriage and got out. Yes, and took away the camouflage cloak so that she could sneak away without anyone around her noticing. "

Sinclair said, making a slip away gesture with his fingers on the table.

Let Luke shout in his heart: Bull B!

"Although I still don't agree with your inference..." Luke tested Sinclair to see if he had any more information: "But considering your inference is still reasonable, we can use it as an investigation direction.

What do you think... If Princess Dai escaped by herself, where would she go? "

Sinclair sighed: "This... I don't know! After all, I went to the Northern Army, and the number of times I met Aunt Dai'er was reduced, so I don't know her strength very well. But since you have If we can't find her, she must have run out of the imperial capital, maybe she has gone abroad."

Luke sighed: If I hadn't stopped her, she would have gone abroad.

Luke pretended to think about it, and said to Sinclair: "I hope your inference is correct, no matter where Princess Dai went, at least she is safe and sound.

But this is just an inference, and I can't even make it public, because there is no evidence to convince everyone.

What are you going to do next? I don't think you need to stay here. "

But Sinclair has no intention of leaving.

"No, no, no, I will never go back. If I don't assist you in handling the case, I will be locked up at home. Besides, although we know that Aunt Dai'er escaped by herself..."

Luke reminded: "This is just your inference."

"Yes, it's just my deduction. But the person who attacked Aunt Dai'er exists, and he is in the palace. My next step is to catch him." Sinclair was very confident in himself, and then said to Luke asked: "Tell me what you found? I don't believe that you have disclosed all the information related to the case. Tell me the secrets you know, and I will investigate!"

Luke looked at Sinclair, thinking of finding him a job that would drain his energy, and not letting him hang around here.

"I'm going to visit someone now, but I don't have a referral from someone with status. I don't know if you'd like to take me there."

"I am willing... In the imperial capital, there is no door that I can't take you in. Say, who are you going to see?"

Luke said meaningfully: "Second Prince, Your Highness Alec."

Sinclair looked at Luke suddenly: "You suspect..."

"I didn't say anything. I just heard that His Royal Highness Alec's manor is very luxurious and beautiful. I want to visit and learn..."

Sinclair is even more unbelievable.

Meteor is now the Acting Princess in charge of Raging Waves City. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the richest person in the empire. Raging Waves City is also an international fashion center, and some gadgets spread to the imperial capital may be outdated items played in Raging Waves City.

Meteor must have another purpose when he went to see Uncle Alec. Could it be that he is really related to the case of attacking Aunt Dai'er.

Sinclair is a soldier. He understands the defense of the imperial city, and being able to organize a meticulous assassination in such a short period of time is beyond the reach of ordinary dignitaries.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Sinclair said very solemnly.

Alec Augustine is the second son of Emperor Augustine. He is young and flamboyant. He likes to hold banquets and make friends with noble ministers. He has a very forthright personality, generous and generous, and has funded many expeditions and rangers. As long as the famous people have difficulty finding the door, Alec will try his best to help.

Therefore, Alec has a good reputation in the court and in the wilderness, and there are many idlers with various talents in the manor.

Recently, Alec's relationship with a female ranger with the title of "Nightingale" is in full swing. If it wasn't for Alec's status as a prince, he would be talking about marriage.

Sinclair's visit this time was somewhat beyond Alec's expectations. Since the battle for the crown prince began, the relationship between him and his brother Fania has become worse and worse. This time the imperial civil war broke out, and Fania was assigned to the southern front, which put him at a disadvantage.

And when the steward said that Sinclair came with Governor Meteor, Alec felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Let them in." Alec said angrily.

After the butler left, Nightingale in a silk robe came to Alec's side: "Your Highness, do you need me to do anything for you?"

Alec put his arms around Nightingale's waist, and smiled again: "Go, put on the new equipment I prepared for you, and show my nephew and Meteor a proper display of force."

"Yes, my lord!" Nightingale kissed Alec on the cheek, then broke away from his embrace.

Alec was a little reluctant to let go of Nightingale's body, but he still called the maid to change his clothes.

Luke, accompanied by Sinclair, visited the manor hall.

The hall is very spacious, and the decoration is also luxurious and resplendent like the royal tradition. In addition to the decorations, there are many display cabinets on the four walls of the hall, which contain various kinds of things. There are machines, alchemy stones, specimens of extraordinary species, and mysterious props...

"Uncle likes novelty things very much, especially the latest inventions." Sinclair saw that Luke was very curious about these things on display, so he introduced them to him.

Luke tried not to show the expression of wanting to take all the things here. It is a good thing to be displayed here by Alec.

But Luke's purpose for coming this time is not these, he can only hold back his greed.

"Oh! My dear nephew, you haven't come to see me for so long after returning from the northern border, I thought you had forgotten me." Acrylic, who came down from the upstairs, warmly gave Sinclair a big smile Embrace.

Sinclair apologized: "I'm sorry, Uncle. My father kept me locked up at home because he was afraid I would go south.

Please allow me to introduce you. This is the Acting Governor of Raging Waves City, Secret Affairs Bureau..."

"Governor Meteor, I know him!" Before Sinclair finished his introduction, Acryl greeted Luke: "If it wasn't for the relationship of identity, I would have taken the initiative to visit you. Your experience in Raging City is a vivid story. Legend, I like to make friends with heroes like you the most.

Today, my nephew and Governor Meteor came to visit, I am very happy.

Housekeeper, I want to hold a banquet, the grandest! "

Acrylic does not have the airs of a prince, and it is easy to make people feel friendly. When he saw Luke, it was like Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, and he would not let go of his forearm, for fear that he would run away.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Sinclair was left out in the cold.

Spontaneous Sinclair knew what to expect. He wasn't angry, just sat down anywhere and asked the maid to pour him wine.

Alex pulled Luke to sit on the leather sofa: "Today we're going to drink all night and tell me all your stories about Raging Waves. I'll write a play based on your stories myself."
