"Because the agreed time with the convoy is two days later, the convoy should still be resting in Maple Leaf Town, so we can only walk back by ourselves."

A teacher wiped his face, which was cut out by a slender wound.

"In this attack, we lost a total of six royal guards and an academy teacher, most of whom were lost on the side of the mountain road. Fortunately, most of them are safe and sound."

"Yes, yes, thanks to Wien this time!"

"Wien is really solid and reliable..."

Everyone at the Lily Club is very proud of Wien's performance.

Wien noticed that the guards standing aside from afar showed a look of sorrow on their faces.

The students within the shield were not seriously injured, but the rest of the guards accompanying him this time were completely suffering heavy losses.

"...The teacher and the old guards have also tried their best." He said with a little sadness.

After thinking about it, Chris took the initiative to come forward and said, "I will explain to my father and give you more rewards."

After hearing what she said, Ge Li immediately interrogated: "After returning to the capital, the Edgeworth family will also give additional pensions."

As if reminded by the words of the two of them, the rest of them also generously donated money.

The other two teachers temporarily cleaned Raphael's wounds with water, and barely made a simple stretcher with wooden magic. The guards were about to step forward to lift them up, but Raphael stopped them.

"Wait, wait... I have something to say."

His face was pale, and his voice was extremely weak at this time.

"I have something to say to Miss Sophia Patrick." He almost word by word, before he could make the sentence complete.

Senior Sister Sofia was stunned.

Then she left her eyes open, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it when your injury is healed..."

"no!"

Raphael suddenly became impatient. "Without a doctor, I don't even know if my injury can last until I return to the capital... Besides, my injury is so serious..."

His entire right chest was penetrated, and he was lucky to not die on the spot.

"So...I must say this sentence now."

It seemed that I had a premonition that everyone else around me held their breath slightly and listened quietly.

Chris couldn't help but hold Wien's hand next to him nervously.

——It seems that he couldn't help but want to express his feelings.

Wien silently stared at the scene in front of him, which was a famous painting.

Under the moonlight, the boy, who was seriously injured and half lying on a stretcher, looked up at the girl standing beside him, his eyes full of longing and expectation.

At this moment, it was like a separation from life and death, did Sophia bear to refuse the infatuation of the party?

Raphael opened his mouth and spoke.

"Senior Raphael!" Sofia suddenly stole what he was going to say.

I saw that she took a deep breath.

"I have always respected my seniors. To me, you are like my brother..."

Time and space seem to be stagnant.

Raphael's bright eyes, which seemed to contain a ball of hot fire, dimmed in an instant.

"Just... brother?" he murmured in disbelief.

Sofia paused, but soon continued: "There are many other important people around you, so... please work hard to persevere! In the capital, there must be someone who can treat such injuries."

She had already understood what she meant. Raphael could no longer say what she wanted to say, so she could only lie down powerlessly.

The guards looked at each other at a loss, and saw that Raphael had closed his eyes and stopped reacting. So they pretended that nothing had happened just now, raised him and ran down the mountain very quickly.

The remaining people looked at each other and had to follow them down the mountain in groups of three or three.

Debris such as tents were swept away, which in some ways reduced their load, and the speed of going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain.

Fortunately, there were many other camping tourists at the foot of the mountain, spending more than twice the market price, and finally moved Raphael to Maple Leaf Town in a hurry.

Before he could wait for his other companions, he was sent back to the capital by a light carriage and quickly.

...

Royal Palace of Lornes.

His Majesty King George II received a report from Maple Leaf Town and was furious and immediately summoned the princes and ministers to discuss matters.

"Didn't such a bad assassination behaviour have no movement during the preparation stage? Behind this is the serious dereliction of duty of the local guards, which must be dealt with seriously to serve as a warning!"

The moment he saw the report, he was really angry.

However, when he saw the quiet faces of these old frymen, George II calmed down immediately.

"What do you think, my dear friends?" He slowed down and asked.

"The only person injured in this incident, Prince Raphael, so this should be a serious diplomatic incident. Therefore, the first priority should be to apologize to the Kingdom of Stuart and obtain understanding..." a minister advised cautiously.

"I understand you, a pig!" The Foreign Minister jumped out and cursed with disrespect.

"In my opinion, the people involved in this incident should be chased and killed first, and then the assassins and the heads of the insidious demons should be informed of the Kingdom of Stuart."

"Warrenqing, what is the 'insider' referring to?" the king asked hesitantly.

The Warren family has been engaged in the diplomatic industry for generations and has great experience in working abroad. The king still trusts him very much.

"Of course it is the 'outsiders' who are not involved in this incident on the surface but are too concerned about it, and their children are not involved!" The Foreign Minister replied with confidence.

"You, you are slandering!" The minister who was speaking just now was so angry that his beard was trembling.

"I didn't say who it is. If anyone screams the loudest, it's probably because he feels guilty, right?"

As soon as these words were said, the other ministers whose children did not involve the matter were all blocked by him and could not speak.

The direction of the argument unknowingly turned into mutual attacks by people with different political views, and the king covered his forehead helplessly.

"Eliot, what if you think?"

He took the initiative to call Duke Wenche to answer.

At this time, Elliot seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and thought for a moment before he said slowly: "I think... I should wait until the children come back, and ask for their own opinions first and then make the final decision."

After quarreling for most of the day, I still couldn't get a specific plan.

So, the meeting finally had to end with the opinions put forward by Elliott as a consensus.

"What do you think?"

After coming out of the palace together, the Chancellor of Finance Franz suddenly asked coldly.

He didn't even throw a look at him.
