Chapter 657 The real and fake princess
After hearing about Princess Mira's experience, Nakamori Aoko felt very sympathetic towards her and offered to help Princess Mira.
"Xiao Qing, I have to remind you that although this chief eunuch pretended to be fair and said that he couldn't take the initiative to harm Kirad, and I translated this sentence for him." Martin said, "But the idea of helping the princess now is indeed due to his words...which means that you may be used by him."
Because Nakamori Aoko had an expression of 'not understanding' on her face, Martin had to be more direct in his words.
Nakamori Aoko turned her head and looked at Kuroba Kaito, whom she trusted more, and saw Kuroba Kaito nodded slightly.
Although Vespania is only a tiny country, the Count of Guise is still a serious politician. It's not that he will definitely lie, but one must be on guard against others.
"Use? Yes, that's right." Giss decisively changed his words: "After discovering that even the Royal Guards can't be trusted, I no longer have helpers who are both powerful and trustworthy. After seeing that the four ladies not only have excellent brains but also regard the princess as a friend, I think you are the only hope for Her Highness the Princess at the moment!"
While admitting to being exploited, Gis portrayed himself as a person who saw the last straw in the drowning state.
Kuroba Kaito spoke again: "We've only known each other for a few minutes, and you trust us so quickly? That's impossible, right?"
"No, I believe that you have no ill will towards Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Martin: "Of course you believe it. If we were going to attack the princess, she would have died when we met her an hour ago."
"Even if we have other plans, no matter how big they are, they are only for the country."
At this point, Martin suddenly reached out his hand and frivolously grabbed the chin of Princess Mira beside him: "Kill the princess and then ascend the throne in her place. This way it will come faster."
Princess Mira immediately slapped Martin's hand away, and then blushed. Later, she realized that her reaction was wrong, turned her head and looked at Martin, staring at him angrily, or it would be more appropriate to say that she was glaring at him.
"Yes, the fact that the princess can appear before me safely is enough to prove that you are kind to her and trustworthy." Giss continued, "So even if that police officer misunderstands that I want to put you under house arrest and offend the Japanese police for this, I will do whatever it takes to get your help!"
The police were really offended, and under the orders of Gis, the bodyguards carried Inspector Megure and Takagi out.
Martin picked his ears and looked around: "Is this guy's Japanese not good enough, or is there something wrong with my translation? Why does he sound a bit threatening in his words?"
Martin didn't have a very good impression of this man, although from what Martin saw in his expression he was telling the truth.
However, according to the plot that Martin knew, after Giss learned that Xiaolan and the princess had exchanged identities, he entrusted Fujiko Mine to protect the princess, while at the same time drugging Xiaolan and forcibly bringing her back to Vespania. It was clear that he was planning to use Xiaolan as a substitute for the princess, so it was not unfair to convict him of trafficking.
What's even more interesting is that this guy hired Jigen Daisuke as the princess' bodyguard, but when the princess visited Japan, he left Jigen Daisuke in Vespania, as if he was afraid that the princess would encounter danger.
"I didn't express myself properly—" Gis quickly denied: "I don't mean to force you, but no matter what, I will risk my dignity and plead with you again and again, asking you to lend a helping hand to the princess."
Martin reminded slowly, "This kind of behavior of shamelessly begging you to give in to me even though you know you are not right, there is a special term in Japan called dogeza."
Bang! Giss's figure suddenly disappeared under the conference table.
Mao Lilan's brows were knitted together, and she held the handrail very tightly.
Princess Mira looked at Gis with panic in her eyes.
Kuroba Kaito glanced at the girl beside him: "Xiaoqing, are you moved by him?"
There was a faint hint in the words that 'if you're moved, you've fallen into a trap', but Nakamori Aoko couldn't hear it at all.
Her gaze turned in the opposite direction of Kuroba Kaito, passing by Mao Li Ran beside her and looking at Princess Mira.
"I can't trust Mr. Guise, but I trust the princess and my friend."
Nakamori Aoko leaned forward, passed in front of Mao Lilan, grabbed Princess Mira's hand, and looked up into her eyes: "Is everything he said true? Your mother and brother... and your uncle who has evil intentions?"
Princess Mira's eyes were panicked and wandered for a moment. After meeting Mori Ran and Kuroba Kaito behind Aoko in turn, she nodded firmly.
There was something wrong with the expression. Kuroba Kaito sighed secretly, and he found that the person he thought was 'Mauri Ran' and the person he thought was 'Princess Mira' were mixed up.
Except for the beginning when Ran Mouri spoke to Geese in the tone of Princess Mira, neither of them spoke during the rest of the conversation because they were not sure how the other would react and did not dare to express their opinions on behalf of the other.
Just now, in response to Aoko's question, the girl whose real identity was Mao Li Ran first glanced at the real Princess Mira, got the answer from her expression, and then nodded and gave Aoko an affirmative answer.
It turns out that when they left the banquet hall, Mao Lilan and the princess got together to secretly discuss this matter.
Kuroba Kaito looked at Martin again. Hmm... I can see this, but can Martin see it? It shouldn't be difficult, right?
At this time, Nakamori Aoko had also made a decision.
It is true that the princess' mother and brother were murdered, it is true that she had an uncle with evil intentions, and the princess was assassinated right in front of them, so at least it is true that Princess Mira is in danger.
"I've decided. I want to stay." Nakamori Aoko said seriously, "I'm not trying to help Mr. Gis, but to help Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Oh, I see." However, Martin looked very unhappy with Nakamori Aoko's decision: "Then Xiaoqing will stay to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. Xiaolan, Xiaoheizi, let's go."
Martin put his legs down on the conference table, stood up and was really about to leave.
"Ah..." Qingzi was surprised that Martin opposed her decision. Although she had no intention of morally blackmailing others, she really thought that the others would support her decision.
But she also knew that protecting the princess must be a very dangerous thing. Reality can't always be as beautiful as a fairy tale. Rejecting this danger is the choice of a normal person. 'Mauri Ran' beside Nakamori Aoko also stood up, followed by Kuroba Kaito on the other side.
"Hurry..." Martin and Mao Li Ran were just new friends they met today, so it was okay that they didn't know each other. But when she saw that even Kaito had abandoned her, Nakamori Aoko was really confused, and pain welled up from the bottom of her heart.
But then she saw that Kuroba Kaito turned his head and nodded slightly at her.
"Qingzi, just stay here and follow our instructions. We have our own plans."
From the look in Kaito's eyes, I seemed to hear such a voice.
Before leaving, 'Mauri Ran' looked at Gis with some disapproval, but still said nothing and turned away.
When Martin and the other two left, Giss was still lying on the ground. He didn't stand up until they left. Then, in front of Nakamori Aoko and Princess Mira, he took out his phone and said, "Seal off all exits of the hotel and prevent the three princess substitutes from leaving. There are three of them."
Gis's expression suddenly changed, and Nakamori Aoko slammed her hands on the table: "What does this mean?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is for outsiders to see." Gis pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down. He was no longer respectful in front of the princesses. At least when the five princesses were present, he was standing opposite them and talking the whole time. "The level of the Royal Guards should not be able to stop them. They just need to fight their way out."
The two girls in front of him didn't understand Gis's intention at all. They could only look at him blankly, not knowing whether they should be angry or let Gis lead them.
But what Mr. Gis said is correct, Martin-kun/Kaito are so powerful, no matter how many bodyguards there are, they can't do anything to them.
Gis stopped talking and waited to receive the report of their violent departure before continuing to explain. After all, he also needed a little "procedural justice".
But five minutes passed... ten minutes passed... twenty minutes passed...
Could it be that contrary to what I thought, they didn't go out at all?
Gis sent someone to the hotel's surveillance room to check the surveillance footage to find out where they had gone.
The answer we got was that the surveillance was broken.
What a joke! During the Princess' stay, there was a surveillance failure. Within the three floors of the building reserved by the Kingdom of Vespania, there was a surveillance failure? And it happened to be right from the entrance of the conference room to the elevator?
Giss went to the hotel manager to question him, but the manager's attitude was also very bad. After scolding Giss, he left with a word "accidental failure". This was not an accidental failure at all, it was clearly a provocation! The hotel was actually against him?
Gis had never expected that even the hotel would go against him.
If the hotel was bribed by the group of people who intended to assassinate the princess, then their assassination plan would be much simpler and there would be no need to carry it out at the banquet, so the hotel did not collude with the assassins.
So it was just to annoy him and show his wrist as a threat... Which of the two people did it?
……
"I have a way to get you out without anyone noticing, why do you still need to look for the manager?" Kuroba Kaito asked outside the hotel, "And why would the manager listen to you?"
After leaving the meeting room, Martin took him and Princess Mira to find the hotel manager, and then directly ordered the manager to delete the surveillance footage, and then verbally confronted Gis afterwards.
"Just to disgust that old guy. He thought we were on his territory. Now let me remind him that he is on my territory." Martin said casually: "Didn't I tell you? I am the major shareholder of this hotel."
Martin's elder brother, Ma Jia, transferred many of his properties to Martin's name before giving up all his arrangements in this world, but not all of them were in cash. Some properties were transferred directly to Martin, and because he was afraid that Martin would not remember them, these properties had one thing in common: they were all hotels.
Martin now holds full control or the largest shareholder of 30 percent of the world's high-end hotels, and he also has a certain stake in the rest of the high-end hotels, to the extent that hotel managers will not easily refuse his request.
As for the Sakura Hotel behind him, Vest had bought it completely half a year ago. At that time, he should have just observed that Martin was planning to stay in this world for a long time.
Princess Mira did not listen carefully to the conversation between Martin and Kuroba Kaito. She was absent-minded and struggling with her own thoughts.
She still thought that the other two did not notice that she was not 'Xiaolan' but a princess, and she felt very guilty about it.
The plan of exchanging identities was discussed by Princess Mira and Mao Li Ran on the way from the banquet hall to the meeting room, because at that time, the two girls thought that what would develop next would be that Princess Mira would be left in the hotel, and the girls would restore their identities and be driven out, and Princess Mira's wish to travel as an ordinary person for a while had not yet been realized.
So the two of them made an exchange. Princess Mira told Ran Maori how to question Giss after meeting her, and how to talk to Giss so that he would think she was the real princess.
But what happened next was beyond the two girls' expectations. Giss not only ordered his bodyguards to carry Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi out, but also detained the four "girls". He then talked about the anti-princess forces. Then, the two men refused Giss' request to leave.
That was the best time for Princess Mira to reveal her identity and exchange with Mao Lilan. But all kinds of information impacted her consciousness, and when she came to her senses, she had already followed them out in a daze.
Mira was panicking now: the little black guy in front of her and... the person who didn't even know her nickname must have regarded her as a hot potato. If she said now, "Surprise! Not only Xiaoqing, but also Xiaolan was left in there by you, I am Mira!", would they be angry? Would they beat her up?
Martin, who was walking in front, casually took off the jeweled jewelry around his neck, as well as the jeweled shawl and the jeweled princess crown, and handed them to Kuroba Kaito casually.
Unlike the imitations made by Kuroba Kaito on the other four people, the princess clothes and jewelry on Martin are all genuine ones taken from Princess Mira.
Kuroba Kaito took it and immediately raised his head and aimed the gems in his hand towards the moonlight, checking them one by one to see if Pandora was among them.
Princess Mira saw their behavior and wondered: "What are you doing...?"
"These are the real jewels that belonged to the princess. Those people were so stupid that no one noticed and let me wear them." Martin said without looking back, "I will wear a fake set to exchange them with the princess later. These jewels look like they are worth a lot of money."
Princess Mira:!
