Chapter 126 : Are you deliberately causing trouble
Chapter 126 - Are you deliberately causing trouble??
“Young Master Winnie, you mean to say that you and your classmates from Carillian Academy were fishing in the wild when you were suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified men in black. You pulled one of them out of the lake, and then these men in black swarmed you, attacking you??” Back at the military camp in the capital of the Camella Kingdom, an officer took off his hat and asked, looking at the report in his hand.
“Yes, that's about it,” Winnie replied.
At this moment, a guard walked over and handed a report to the officer.
“Our camp doctor has examined your elf classmate. She is not seriously injured, just temporarily unconscious. She has now woken up and her account of what happened is similar to what you said.”

“We are just following regulations. After all, such an incident occurred around the capital, and for the safety of the citizens and the royal family, we must investigate thoroughly.” The middle-aged officer added, his words seemed to emphasize that he wasn't discriminating against Winnie or disbelieving him, but that they were simply doing their job.
“Yes, I understand your work very well, Officer,” Winnie replied. “But everything I said is true and objective, without any false or exaggerated words.”

“We have a general understanding of the situation, but the better news is that we have captured an assassin alive,” the officer suddenly said.
"There's nothing that can be done about it. As I said earlier, my roommate's mental state is unstable, and she tends to react under stress, which is related to her upbringing. But I don't think she's done anything wrong, have they? Assassins were trying to kill us. Camella Kingdom law clearly states that such privately trained assassins are not protected by the law." Winnie even quoted precedents.
“You are right, but such matters still need to go through the proper procedures,” the officer said.
Hearing this official rhetoric that seemed to be beating around the bush, Winnie understood what the other party meant.

This was probably trouble for them.
Suddenly, his expression became a bit strange. “Your Excellency, I think this incident is very clear. You questioned me and my classmate separately, and you got the same result. She was emotionally unstable before, so we couldn't possibly have had the time to discuss how to unify our statements, could we?”
"Besides, the previous eyewitnesses have confirmed that my classmate and I went out of the city with fishing gear to fish. I didn't even bring any weapons. What are you still suspecting? Do you suspect that my classmate and I conspired to kill those men in black who looked like trouble?"
“Who would wear a mask and all black in broad daylight??” Winnie retorted.

Indeed, one was a notorious scoundrel of the capital, and the other was a foreigner, so they were bound to attract some groundless suspicion.
He was somewhat aware of his reputation. With his reputation, he was purely a villain in the capital, and the citizens of the capital had almost formed the habit of saying, 'Could it be that scoundrel Winnie from the capital did it??' whenever any big or small bad thing happened.
Wéb n ȯ v̂ ẽľ Е̄ ṅū m̀ а̌
Yes, he was blamed for everything.
Even if it wasn't him, wouldn't someone want to step on him?
Truth sometimes wasn't that important. What was important was that in the capital of Camella, with his reputation, even a dog could step on Winnie and would gladly do so.
“Your Excellency, if you suspect there are other hidden motives in this incident, shouldn't you consider if we have a motive?”
“We are both official students of Carillian Academy. Is there any need to ruin our bright futures to plan these pointless things??” Winnie asked.
“You misunderstand my meaning, Young Master Winnie. I understand your thoughts, but as I said, we are conducting a normal investigation, not targeting anyone. Please cooperate.”

“To be honest, if I were you, I would investigate those men in black first. We are the victims. It seems more suspicious that they are than us??”
“I have an opinion too. Honestly, we were attacked on the outskirts of the capital, and after such a long time, the capital soldiers have only just arrived. To be honest, the reaction speed of the capital soldiers to emergencies is really worrying,” Winnie said with a strange expression.
“Young Master Winnie, we have also said that this is a normal procedure, not an investigation of you, but an investigation of the entire incident,” the officer said, frowning.
“Alright, then what do you want us to do?” Faced with such a situation, Winnie could only consider himself unlucky.
“You two report to the military camp tomorrow.”
“I say, Your Excellency, you don't really think there's something wrong with us, do you?” Winnie frowned.

“Young Master Winnie, don't speculate. We said this is just a routine investigation,” the officer emphasized again.
Well, with his emphasis, Winnie became even more certain.

At times like this, the more they said they didn't dare to speak directly, but refused to let them go, the more likely it was that their meaning was clear.
Just a routine investigation?
They had told everything about the incident, everything they knew, and if they didn't know, they didn't know. What else could they investigate? What kind of investigation could be done by calling them to report to the military camp?
“But if it's just to cooperate with the follow-up investigation, there's no need to report tomorrow, is there? If you have any investigation progress, just call us. We're not uncooperative,” Winnie asked, frowning.
Ẅ е̇bnо̃vё l̀ Ê num а̀
“May I also ask, are we going to have to stay in the military camp every day during this holiday?”
“That depends on the progress of the investigation.”
See, they still wouldn't answer directly, just talking like this.
Hearing this, Winnie finally understood.

This officer completely distrusted him, thinking that he, the notorious scoundrel, was problematic, and that there must be hidden motives behind this incident.
Judging by the situation, they might be locked up or placed under house arrest?

But if they suspect him, they also suspect Shikondell?
If they did this, wouldn't that girl's psychological trauma worsen? She was already very repulsed by humans.
It was he who brought Shikondell back, and now this had happened.
“Alright then, can we go home now?” Winnie said.
“Yes, your classmate is with the camp doctor now, you can take her back,” the officer said.
“Okay, no need to see us out.” Winnie didn't stand on ceremony and got up to leave the military camp. He found Shikondell at the medical office where a female military doctor was on duty.

Yes, she had returned to her timid appearance.
“Winnie!” Upon seeing Winnie, Shikondell rushed over, as if everything around her made her feel quite uneasy.
"How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Winnie asked.
“This elf lady is fine, just a little startled,” the female military doctor who examined her replied.
“Miss, he is a male,” Winnie added.
“Is he? My apologies.” The female military doctor pushed her glasses up and didn't show much suspicion or doubt.

After all, the physical differences between elves and humans were indeed very large.
“I'm sorry to have put you through this unpleasant experience. Let's go home,” Winnie led Shikondell out of the military camp, not telling her about what happened next.

Shikondell followed Winnie, remaining silent along the way.
Winnie also remained silent, giving her time to calm down. In fact, he was wondering if Shikondell still remembered the previous memories.
The two walked side by side to the entrance of the Varelis mansion. Winnie was contemplating how to shake off those persistent followers when he noticed a familiar and well-mannered maid standing at his doorstep.
“Are you, Miss Kalin?” Winnie recognized the maid.
Е̌ n̆ŭm̊a
“Young Master Winnie, Her Highness the Princess asked me to bring you these fruits.” Kalin bowed politely to Winnie and handed him a small box she was holding.
“Okay, please thank Mirexia for me,” Winnie said as he took the fruit basket.
“Also, Her Highness the Princess asked me to convey a message, asking how you are currently doing?”
“Doing? Do you mean physically or mentally?” Winnie asked.

“I think Her Highness the Princess means both,” Kalin replied.
“Physically, I'm doing great. Mentally, I'm probably terrible,” Winnie snapped.
Е ń ü ḿа̌
“May I ask why?” Kalin asked.
“Today, Shikondell and I went fishing, and we were attacked by a group of assassins.”
“Assassins?? Near the capital??” Kalin realized the seriousness of the matter and asked solemnly.
“That's right, near the capital. I didn't even bring any weapons. If not for…” Winnie glanced at Shikondell, who was looking down silently behind him. “Perhaps, we would have been in danger.”
“What happened next? Aren't there patrol soldiers near the capital? Why didn't they arrive?”
“They did arrive, but only after we had killed all the assassins. And when they arrived, they didn't say anything sensible, but insisted that we were the problem and wanted to investigate us,” Winnie shook his head.

“I think it's fine for them to investigate us as part of the procedure, but asking us to report to the military camp the next day, and their words seem to imply that we'll spend most of this summer in the military camp, and we don't know how things will be handled afterward. Isn't that unlucky?” Winnie complaining.
“.....Aren't you planning to tell the Princess about this?” Kalin asked, her expression changed after hearing this.
“You know, Mirexia is usually very busy. I can't bother her for such a trivial matter, can I?” Winnie spread his hands helplessly.
“Young Master Winnie, I think the Princess wouldn't consider this a bother. She would probably be very happy if you asked her for help,” Kalin offered her opinion.
“Is that so? It really won't bother her?” Winnie asked.
“How about this, I'll go back and inform the Princess about this. Please rest assured,” Kalin said after a brief chat and then left.

Just as Kalin had thought, Mirexia would certainly not stand by and do nothing about Winnie's troubles. Upon hearing the handling of the patrol soldiers, she immediately got up, summoned the old butler, and had him send a letter to the Vice-Captain of the Wrathful Dragon Knights.
The Vice-Captain of the Wrathful Dragon Knights was still drinking tea in the royal palace's watchtower.

When he heard that the Princess wanted to see him, he was immediately startedled, wondering if one of his subordinates had caused trouble again. With a nervous expression, he opened the letter and only then breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, so it wasn't his subordinates. It was those low-level patrol soldiers who had stirred up trouble?
So, he called his Deputy and told him to send a letter to the Chief Knight of the Capital City outside the city.
There was no way he could meet the Chief Knight of the Capital City himself; it was too beneath him. Even having his subordinate meet him was giving the other party immense face. If it wasn't for the Princess's order, he would have sent a newly recruited Wrathful Dragon Knight squire.
W̊_еb́n̊оv̆ ë l Ĕ nǔ m̊ а
The Chief Knight of the Capital City almost dropped his documents when he heard that the Deputy of the Vice-Captain of the Wrathful Dragon Knights was looking for him. He thought he had done something wrong and was about to be dismissed.
After he politely received the subordinate and heard that it was a letter from the Princess, his heart sank further.
When the Deputy finished explaining the purpose of his visit, the Chief Knight of the Capital City politely refused the invitation for a meal, saw off the Deputy in formation, returned to his fortress, slammed the table, and angrily said to the guard beside him.
“You, go and call the Commander of the North City over here! Have him come and explain to me what this is all about! Why has it even alarmed the Princess??”

The Commander of the North City was also very confused when he learned that the Knight Captain was looking for him. Upon learning the specific matter and realizing that it was a layered order from the Princess to find him, he also became angry.
“Find out who the hell did this stupid thing??”
Ĕn u m̃ a. ï.d
“What bad luck. Why is this incompetent trash, who can't accomplish anything but ruin everything, not in the South City, but assigned to my North City military camp??”
After searching for a long time without finding anything, the Commander of the North City was very surprised. So, he speculated that the officer's rank was so low that he wasn't even within his jurisdiction. Thus, he had his subordinate's subordinate investigate.
As the investigation intensified, it wasn't until a subordinate of a small officer in the North City saw the briefly mentioned report during the review that it was reported layer by layer.
When it reached the officer who handled Winnie, the news had already been passed down an unknown number of times.
The non-commissioned officer, who wasn't even a formal knight squire, was so scared that he almost lost his soul upon hearing that he had alarmed the Princess.
“Then, sir, should we continue the investigation?” a asked soldier timidly.

“Investigate? What is there to investigate?” The non-commissioned officer was so upset that he didn't have time to scold his subordinates.
“But, you've been saying all along that Winnie, that scoundrel, is notorious, and that a fly won't land on an egg without a crack. There must be hidden motives, and that scoundrel must be problematic. Since there is a problem, we should continue to investigate,” the soldier asked.
“What do you know?” The non-commissioned officer plopped down into his seat, his face pale.
He hadn't even sat in this seat for long before it was gone.
Everything was gone.
His superiors had just issued a statement; he had been dismissed and would start as an ordinary soldier.

This was not explicitly stated by Mirexia, but the order came from the Princess herself. Anyone who encountered it would not dare to not punish severely, especially the lower-ranking officers, who were afraid of being held responsible and displeasing the Princess.
If the Princess was unhappy, they could really lose their jobs!

It was just that Mirexia had a good temper. If it were a princess with a violent temper, they might not even keep their heads.
As for the relationship between the Princess and Winnie, it didn't matter. What mattered was not to stir up trouble!
