Chapter 54: Deliverance

"Ahem!" Joffrey spat out a mouthful of blood, this sneak attack was so unexpected that he didn't react at all, let alone cast defensive spells, not even the various magic weapons hanging on his body didn't have time to activate.

"You ......" Joffrey looked at the person in front of him with some puzzlement, to be honest, he couldn't remember who this person was, and he could even say that he had never seen this person, but why did such a person assassinate him?

"I've been waiting for so many years, and it's finally time for this day. What puzzled Joffrey even more was that the Assassin didn't have the indifference of being hired to kill. On the contrary, the light in his eyes, despite his calm complexion, betrayed the excitement in his heart, and Joffrey even saw tears flow from the assassin's eyes.

Joffrey felt his life force draining away, and he foamed at the blood and said, "You...... Be...... Who?"

"Of course you won't remember me. The Assassin's tone was filled with bitter hatred, and he turned the dagger in his hand, making Joffrey's wound even bigger, and continued, "Ratty, that's my sister, you killed her." And I, I'm Snow. ”

"Ratty?" Joffrey's eyes were still full of doubt, he had killed a lot of people, and he could still remember a few of the famous ones, but who was this Ratty?

"Yes, it's this attitude of taking other people's lives and not caring about it. Snow tore Joffrey's wound even bigger with his dagger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ratty is my sister, she is an excellent mid-level assassin selected by the Imperial Tournament, and she is also the Stoke Imperial Assassin who assassinated Ralvin!

The wound on Joffrey's chest instantly widened under the sharp blade, and in just a second, he was completely dead. But in that final moment, Joffrey thought about a lot of things. Including that Ratty's smaller assassin. Yes, he did kill the female assassin, and he even remembered that he had used dissociation to eat the girl bit by bit. But none of this mattered to Joffrey, because he understood something more important before he died. He remembered that Ralvin had said that Regner had a capable subordinate named Snow, and he understood why Alexander must have insisted that Anne and the others be imprisoned in the First School of Magic.

Because Alexander wanted to kill him by the hands of others. Isn't it simple logic? imprison Anne and her sisters in the First Academy of Magic, then Ragner and his military intelligence department will have plenty of winter to attack their own magic academy. The men were divided into two groups, most of whom were tasked with rescuing Annelot, and the Assassin, who had a vendetta against him, could sneak across Haiti and lurk in front of Joffrey's office for an opportunity to assassinate him.

All this needs only one boost, and that is...... Release the imprisoned Regner in the dungeon! If he is released, then Joffrey will naturally die in an "accidental" assassination, and no one will find Alexander, all they can think of is Regner who gave the order!

As for the motive, isn't it clear enough? Joffrey is dead, Ralvin is dead, and the heir of the Hawke Empire is only Alexander! Joffrey then understands why when Alexander returns, he swears with the power of his Holy Light that as long as he is alive, he will never inherit the throne of the Empire. While this oath does have the effect of binding the law, it has no actual binding effect. Because as long as Joffrey died, then Alexander could rightfully inherit the throne. So, as long as Joffrey is killed, then Alexander's oath is no different from farting.

Of course, it's not completely useless. Because for Alexander, this oath that showed the effect of the law could coax his idiot brother.

"Alexander, what a ...... you are Good...... Calculate...... ...... "Joffrey said his last words weakly, and then collapsed.

Snow looked at Joffrey's corpse and spat viciously at him before disappearing into the shadows contentedly.

......

"Where's the key?!" asked one of the assassins, cutting off the guard's arm.

"Ahhh So although he lost his "girlfriend" at this time, he honestly explained the location of the key.

"Quick!" the assassin flashed to the drawer the guard pointed, and after a brief rummag, he found the key to the prison.

The prison door was opened without incident, and Annelot and Erin were calming Inenlies, who was apprehensive when she heard the movement outside.

"What do you want to do?" Despite being unable to cast any spells in prison, the Frost Queen displayed her breathtaking aura. The girl simply stood up, narrowing her eyes slightly, and the hearts of the Assassins present trembled. At the same time, Erin, who was next to Annelot, also stood up, although she did not speak, but her pretty little face was also full of perseverance and courage.

Several MI agents glanced at each other, and then everyone knelt on one knee in unison: "The subordinate is an agent of the MIA, and on the order of the commissioner, Lord Regna, he came to the prison to rescue Lord Annelot!"

"Regner?" Anne Lott relaxed slightly when she heard the name, and she nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Quick, unshackle the ladies. The Assassin at the head of the group exclaimed that he was even stronger than Snow in terms of strength, but Snow had always been steady and trusted by Regner, so he was subservient. This time, however, Snow had personally ordered him to attack the Forbidden Prison, which made the Assassin realize that this was an opportunity to put on a good show.

"Who...... Don't talk nonsense!" Even though she was in prison, Annelot put up a weak resistance after hearing the Assassin leader's title of "Madame".

Miss Anne was talking about ......" The Assassin leader was sweating profusely, he really didn't expect the legendary Frost Queen to be so awkward.

The chains were quickly unfastened, and the seal of the chains was gone, and the magic in Annelot's body surged back again. The girl looked at the Assassin leader and said, "Then what is Regna's arrangement next?" ”

"Your Excellency has ordered us to bring a few young ladies to Melindale Square, where he will meet you. The Assassin replied, and just then, another minion ran up and whispered a few words in the Assassin leader's ear.

"It seems that the mages of the First School of Magic reacted quite quickly. Although her face was covered, Annelot could feel that the Assassin leader at this time showed a helpless wry smile. He knelt down on one knee and said to Annelot, "They say that the door to the prison has been blocked by the mages of the First Academy of Magic, and we want to rush out, but I'm afraid it will take some effort. The subordinates are incompetent, so that a few husbands ...... The young lady is in danger. ”

"Elder of the First Academy of Magic?" Annelot was stunned for a moment, then understood. She let out a sneer with disdain: "It's okay, you follow me, just go out." ”

"Miss, by all means, protecting the safety of the three young ladies is the highest mission of the subordinates, and even if the subordinates and brothers fight for their lives, they must ensure the safety of the three of them!" the Assassin leader quickly said on one knee.

Ignoring the Assassin leader, Annelot walked out in silence with Erin and Inilies. With each step, the Assassin leader felt the air around him get colder. The Assassin leader watched as Annelot walked out of the cell, a hand stretched out to stop her, but Annelot spoke again.

"Thank you for risking your lives to save us. Anne Lot, standing on the steps of the prison, turned her head, her voice not loud, but with unparalleled majesty and rightful confidence: "Now, it's Annelot's turn to protect you." Everyone, follow me, I will take you with me and leave here together. ”
