Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

As soon as Wei Lan finished speaking, His Majesty the King looked frustrated and about to get angry.

"Your Majesty, many people in the city have already known about the dead bodies in the forest. Please investigate this matter thoroughly and give the church an explanation, otherwise I will not be able to concentrate on the investigation."

Phoenix emphasized the last sentence particularly, but he didn't show it, so only those who paid close attention could hear it.

King William's expression immediately became serious, and he glared at Wei Lan fiercely, as if blaming him.

No, what does it have to do with me? Wei Lan wanted to cry but had no tears.

"No matter what, this matter must be related to my daughter. I will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

Phoenix didn't pay attention to what King William said. He looked at the two bodies on the stretcher, then looked away:

"I heard that the female corpse among the two bodies was named Hathaway?"

Wei Lan nodded at him, but Phoenix didn't look at him.

King William remembered the maid and nodded in agreement.

"Is this weird?"

There was a slight change between Phoenix's eyebrows.

"I just saw her come to church the day before yesterday, but I heard her body was found two days ago."

"Where did you see that?!" Wei Lan became excited and held Phoenix's arm with both hands, but felt his hand tremble slightly.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at his hands.

Wei Lan quickly let go. He forgot that he was a princess now and almost treated him with the same attitude as when he was wearing a mask.

"What?" King William was stunned again and asked.

"The leader is mistaken?"

Phoenix replied:

"Your Majesty, I have seen this maid many times before and I would never mistake her."

Wei Lan thought about it. What? Have they met before? Could it be that the princess had taken Hathaway to the church before? That's impossible.

However, he can now take advantage of the situation:

"Your Majesty, I have said that I have never admitted that I did this. Isn't it too hasty to just pick up two corpses and pretend to be me? Your Majesty, please re-investigate this matter and clear my name."

Wei Lan said this righteously.

"Your Majesty! Don't you suspect that the princess is colluding with the church?!" Feidu shouted immediately after hearing these words.

His father immediately glared at him and said, "Shut up!"

Dai Lian was about to speak, but Wei Lan stared at her closely.

"The Queen must also believe that I am innocent, right?"

This made King William begin to doubt, and he looked at Count Seppa:

"Are you sure these are the bodies of the two servants?"

"This..." Count Seba lowered his eyelids and glanced around:

"Your Majesty, I did find this body near the maid's house, and the characteristics all match, so it should be correct..."

King William looked very unhappy:

"Should?! What do you mean should? Are you talking nonsense about something you haven't investigated clearly?"

Count Seppa glanced at the queen cautiously, but the queen ignored him.

Wei Lan felt strange. Although he remembered that the original book wrote that the church was in collusion with the king, people started to blame Count Sepa and others just because of a few casual words he said.

What exactly are they colluding with? So the vampires that the king keeps in the underground prison were also captured by the church?

He had never thought about this question carefully. Why did the king need the blood of the vampires?

"Okay! Since there is still something strange about this matter, let's investigate it thoroughly. Earl Sepa, I hope you won't let me down this time." King Weilan said.

"Your Majesty," Wei Lan suddenly raised his hand.

"I know my two servants better, and I can swear that I did not kill them. Please let me participate in the investigation."

Gemma couldn't help but laugh softly, as if she thought it was strange that he suddenly raised his hand.

Wei Lan quickly put it down, damn it, he was used to raising his hand to answer questions in class.

Gabriel glared at Gemma, glanced at Phoenix, and stepped forward to resign:

"Your Majesty, this matter also concerns our church, and Your Majesty has also allowed us to join."

King William raised his hand with a headache to show his agreement, but Count Seppa was very dissatisfied, but did not dare to say anything more.

Out of the front hall.

Wei Lan walked along feeling exhausted, preparing to return to his palace. He didn't know if the coal briquettes in his sleeves had suffocated him to death.

Gemma jumped up to him, looked him over again and said:

"I didn't expect you to be a real princess? Even when they called you a princess, I didn't believe it. You don't look like one."

Wei Lan's face fell.

"Do you want your ten thousand francs?"

"Yes!" Gemma cried out.

"That's what I married my wife for."

"Then just shut up and talk less. I'm very tired now."

After Wei Lan replied to him, he headed towards Caesar Phoenix in front of him.

Gemma in the back is still shouting,

"Hey, hey! How come you change your face so quickly? When are you going to give me the money?"

Gabrielle asked beside him, "What money?"

He fell silent immediately.

Wei Lan walked behind Phoenix and wanted to thank him, but didn't know how to start.

At least he saved him today, but Phoenix didn't seem to want to pay any attention to him.

Wei Lan always felt that he was very distant from her, although the words they said when they met in the original novel made him have no good impression of Xi Ze at all.

However, it can be seen that this person should not be a bad person, except for Lin’s incident.

I didn't expect that the two of them would start to confront each other so early? And now the heroine hasn't made any progress with them?

Or is this simply a racial relativity?

"Your Highness..." Phoenix stopped suddenly.

Wei Lan was walking behind him and bumped into him halfway with his shoulder. He was thinking about something and didn't react at all.

"What...what happened?"

Phoenix peered into his eyes, his slender eyebrows were full of incomprehensible emotions, his tone was very respectful but indifferent:

"What's the matter with you?"

Wei Lan scratched his head awkwardly. What was going on? Why did he feel guilty when facing him?

Her tone was usually as calm as water, why did it become so cold when it came to him?

How much does this person hate him?

Wei Lan thought about it and shook his head:

"It's okay, I just wanted to thank you. Today is all thanks to you."

Phoenix stared at him straight, his gray-blue eyes were like a gloomy world of ice and snow. Even if there was a burning fire inside, you wouldn't be able to understand it.

Wei Lan felt a little scared when being stared at, thinking, what's going on? Are you so disgusted with me even when I thank you?

The two were very close, and Phoenix himself was extremely gentle, with an expression and temperament like that of a god.

But now, the cold aura around him was like a rock, suffocating Wei Lan.

Wei Lan felt suffocated. Why did he feel that the two of them were confronting each other, one like a criminal and the other like a policeman?

Even so, Wei Lan did not dare to move, as if he would be devoured if he moved, and he was unable to speak.

Until he slowly opened his mouth,

"You're overthinking it. I will never help you."
