Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1067 - Chapter 1067 Chapter 597 Let There Be Light_2

Chapter 1067: Chapter 597 Let There Be Light_2 Chapter 1067: Chapter 597 Let There Be Light_2 I had thought she was merely a pet of the Princess, but it turned out to be her friend. Since a friend holds a different status, no one would dare to offend.

Fortunately, the Princess was in a good mood, so she did not punish him.

Her expression, however, remained quite cold and even showed impatience.

“Enough, leave now. I do not like having someone as unobservant as you around me.”

With those words, his future was essentially cut off.

A person disdained by the Princess would naturally find no one else to take him in.

He clearly realized this point, his face paled, but compared to angering the Princess or being punished by her, being merely disdained was a stroke of luck.

He forcefully suppressed the panic in his heart and bowed obediently.

“Yes, Princess, I shall take my leave now.”

As he left, his figure was a picture of desolation, having offended someone he shouldn’t have. He was doomed not to attend the poetry event, and the connections he had just started to make here would one day vanish into thin air.

“Ah…”

The man heaved a deep sigh, his sadness finding no outlet.

Even as he was leaving, he blamed Logan for all this, giving him a resentful glare.

Like a young wife lamenting her husband seduced by a fiendish woman.

Logan’s mouth twitched, feeling entirely innocent.

It clearly wasn’t his business, yet in the end, it somehow landed on his head.

After dealing with this man, the Princess turned her gaze to Logan at her side.

“Come, Logan, the Princess shall take you for a tour around.”

Although Logan was not particularly interested, he showed respect to the Princess.

“Thank you, Princess.”

Besides Logan, there was actually a large group of people following the Princess.

As they walked, they would stop whenever they encountered a leaf, a flower, or a lake to recite poetry and admire the beauty of nature.

Logan quietly slipped to the back, considering himself merely a bystander.

But not long after the Princess had walked away, suddenly a crossbow bolt shot towards her.

“Ah!”

The Princess, being at the front and lacking protection, was struck directly through her shoulder, causing her to scream in pain.

Hearing this scream, Logan reacted, pushing through the crowd to rush towards her.

“Princess, Princess!”

As her body went limp and fell backwards, he caught her swiftly.

“Princess, are you alright?”

While asking, he took out medicinal herbs to apply first to her shoulder.

However, he soon noticed the wound on the shoulder had turned black, his gaze darkening.

“There’s poison on the arrow.”

Who could be so ruthless? This was an attempt on the Princess’s life.

He could only feed the Princess all his elixirs to barely keep her alive.

Soon, the Hidden Guard by the Princess’s side also sprang into action, capturing the assailant timely.

“We’ve caught him, the assailant is captured!”

Logan set the Princess down on the ground, intending to investigate the assassin.

But before he could get close, he heard people exclaiming in shock.

“It’s bad, the assassin’s going to kill himself!”

Though the Hidden Guard tried to intervene swiftly, the assassin still bit into a poison capsule, committing suicide instantly, leaving no clue behind.

By the time Logan arrived, the man had already taken his last breath.

Seeing this, many felt angry, especially those who had been following the Princess closely; they too had narrowly escaped disaster.

“Who exactly is responsible? This was supposed to be a highly vetted poetry event. How could an assassin appear and harm the Princess? If anything were to happen to her, none of us would get off easily!”

“Yes, who sent the assassin? This is too dangerous. I am leaving, I don’t want to stay at this poetry event any longer!”

“It’s truly horrifying, this incident must be reported to the Dali Temple, it must be thoroughly investigated. How dare an assassin attack under broad daylight and even target the Princess! It’s outrageous!”

These people were indeed angry, having attended a perfectly good poetry gathering, only to experience an assassination attempt.

Those who could enter here were either wealthy or noble, each with a certain status.

They considered their lives more important than anyone else’s and were naturally terrified and panicked afterward.

The crowd became a mess, but Logan paid no attention to them and carefully observed the situation. He did not spot any trace of the assassin and eventually heaved a sigh and temporarily gave up.

“Damn it, the assassin was very efficient, leaving no clues behind.”

At this point, the trail was broken, meaning it was unknown who made the move.

After a moment, the doctor had already arrived and immediately diagnosed the princess.

However, after he had diagnosed her, his face turned deathly pale.

“This is bad, there’s poison on the arrow. The princess has been struck with a strong poison. It has already reached her bone marrow, but this poison is too fierce. I’ve never heard of it, nor do I know how to cure the princess?”

As the old doctor spoke, he couldn’t help but start to sweat profusely on his forehead.

Now, he was treating the well-known princess.

If things went wrong, it could mean collective punishment, but regardless, the old doctor couldn’t think of a good solution momentarily and could only tell the truth.

And as the doctor’s words came out, everyone’s heart sank.

Those who were more faint-hearted even collapsed to the ground, their legs giving out.

“How, how could this be?”

“Just attending a poetry gathering, how could we encounter an assassin, and just our luck that it had to be the princess who was struck…”

It could have been anyone, but why did it have to be the princess, the one among them with the most power?

They could already foresee the emperor’s fury and were anxious about who would calm it, and eventually, who would be punished. No one dared think further.

At this time, Logan had already reached the princess’s side, reaching out to check her pulse.

Then his expression darkened.

This isn’t good.

The princess was barely hanging on; the poison seemed lethal and targeted to kill.

Even though he managed to keep her alive with elixirs, it was uncertain for how much longer.

While he was pondering, people from the Official Residence arrived.

Seeing the officials, many people displayed fearful expressions, wishing they could leave immediately and disassociate themselves from any responsibility.

The official from the Official Residence arrived and first asked, “Where is the assassin?”

Someone pointed at the corpse on the ground.

The officers stepped forward to examine it, and upon tapping it with a knife, their expressions darkened.

“The person is already dead, how can I explain this to my superiors?”

The others had the same thought, their expressions nowhere near pleasant.

“No matter what, we had to deliver a living person; what use is a dead one?”

“Moreover, this involves the princess. An investigation will surely follow this line, and once the assassin is dead, the lead is lost.”

The officers discussed among themselves, their expressions becoming increasingly grim.

Since handing over a dead person was problematic, they decided to simply pick a living one.

As the officers scanned the surroundings, many people avoided their gaze.

The officers took a rough look around, and their faces darkened.

This poetry gathering was extraordinary, attended only by the rich and noble. Everyone present had status and background. If they arrested someone inappropriate, not only would the princess’s issue remain unresolved, but they would also end up in a messy scandal themselves.

Now, the officers were in a dilemma and followed protocol by questioning everyone.

“During the assassination attempt on the princess, did anyone notice anything unusual, any strange people, or any odd noises today?”

Suddenly, someone had a flash of insight and reported immediately.

“Yes, my lord. Today, there was a new face next to the princess, crouching right beside her. We have never seen him before, and just today, the princess was attacked. It’s too much of a coincidence.”

What the person said made sense. It was difficult to offend anyone else present, leaving only the unfamiliar Logan, especially since the report was logical and consistent, and Logan did indeed appear strange.

Everyone didn’t know Logan, nor did they know where he came from.

Mysteriously at the princess’s side, mysteriously regarded as a friend by the princess.

And then, on his first day attending the poetry gathering, the princess tragically encountered danger.

To say that he had nothing to do with it would be foolish to believe.
