Chapter 438: Prince Clad's whereabouts
"The marriage between Eclermont and Tart is just a pretense, and the actual intention is to catch us off guard!"
"It's unjust for them to do so!"
"In the face of war, justice always belongs only to the winning side!"
"So we must stand up and resist!"
"What's the use of talking about this now, we don't have a single soldier in our hands, what do we use to resist?"
"Otherwise, just surrender, at least you can live!"
"That's right, no matter how strong the Reino Palace is, it is impossible to hide for a lifetime!"
ā¦ā¦
It was only at this time that Louis truly understood what it meant to be troubled from the outside and troubled from the inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The nobles who have been in a mess will either not say a word, or they will not be able to come up with an idea. However, it seems that the head is turning to the negative side. Although Louie's original intention was to resist to the end, she could not be the lord of the nobles after all, and in addition, the matter about the Reino Palace could no longer be hidden.
"Actually," Louis said after thinking about it with a sad face, "the guard system of the Reino Palace has been destroyed, and although the main body is still there, it will not be as strong as before!" ā
Sure enough, as soon as her words came out, more nobles fell to the capitulation faction.
"However, the palace's strong emergency security is still there, and once the parapet is opened, it can be maintained for a while!" At this point, it no longer made sense for Louis to say such a thing, and she began to regret telling the truth about the Reino Palace.
"There's only one way to surrender! We're going to negotiate with Eclermont and Tart, and as long as we don't die, we won't resist. As for the dedication, it only needs half of what it used to be. ā
"There's only one way!"
On the one hand, the nobles died down. On the other side, a few nobles who were fighting in the main battle sighed. The Count of Enopus, who was standing next to Louis, shouted angrily, "You ...... You are still the princes and nobles of Egrim, and you don't want to resist when the national disaster comes, you just want to protect yourself, where is the dignity of the nobles? Besides, don't you know what even children understand? ā
"What do you say? What do we not know? ā
Louis took over and said, "I would like to ask you to put yourself in your shoes, if you are the leader of the enemy, will you negotiate with people who are neither threatening nor useful?" Don't say anything bullshit, if you surrender, your life will not be saved! ā
Louis's tone was filled with resentment, on the one hand, he hated the weak nobles; On the other hand, it is a mistake in judgment of oneself.
Louie's words frightened the nobles more than convincing them, and one by one they showed desperate looks: "That...... So what to do! ā
One by one, the collapse of the aristocracy made the scene more and more chaotic. Some of them simply escaped from the Reino Palace, carrying as much treasure as possible and heading straight for Port Velo; Others, on the other hand, shrank into the palace and shivered, unable to care about anything else. Only a few people, led by the Count of Enopus, searched for the vanished army throughout the Reino Palace, but there was little hope.
Louis was still in her mind, and of course she knew that the priority was to recover the missing army, and although it was unlikely that they were still in the Reino Palace, she still had to try.
"Prince Clad knew early on that there would be an external threat to Agrim today?" Louie's eyes narrowed into a line, and he suddenly opened the garden, turned around and grabbed Alex's collar, "Where the hell is Prince Clad?" ā
Alex changed his previous arrogance, as if he had done something wrong: "No...... I don't know! ā
The muscles on Louie's face trembled: "You don't say? He drew his sword and put it on the other's neck.
Alex saw Louie's eyes, which were obviously different from before. The icy blue pupils are occupied by anger and ferocity, like a hungry she-wolf! Alex knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Louie would definitely kill him! But if you tell the truth, you don't know where to start, and after hesitating for two seconds, Louis pulled by the arm and pushed towards the Murosuan Palace.
Because of the relationship between the "High Towers" and the "Deep Springs", even if they lived in the same palace, Louis visited Prince Skil's room many times, but never went to Prince Klad's "Tower", and Alex was the same.
The first time Louis approached the tower was on the night when Xuanyu and his gang infiltrated the palace, and he wanted to enter the tower to explore, but was chased by the guardian beast double-headed eagle on the front door of the tower for the whole night. After that, she couldn't find a chance to get closer, and now this opportunity came again, but she couldn't muster the energy.
The double-headed eagle was long gone, and with a swing of Louie's sword, the door was torn apart, revealing the first section of the spiral staircase. Alex had no intention of running away, and honestly followed Louie. When they reached the top of the tower, another gate stopped them.
There was a lock on the door, and Louis could tell that the guardian beast above it was still working, and the sword slash was not only ineffective but caused trouble.
She turned to Alex: "You are the captain of Prince Clad's guard, it is impossible that you have not entered his room, you must know how to open this door!" ā
"But there is no order from the Prince......"
"It's imminent! Do you really want to watch Agrim fall? Louis exclaimed.
"Hey!" Alex sighed heavily, took off his hat and slammed it to the ground, "Let's be honest, even if you open this door, you won't find Prince Klad!" ā
"What do you mean by that?"
"Prince Clad has been out of the palace since yesterday!"
Alex's words made Louis dumbfounded, but she quickly retorted: "Nonsense, obviously I saw Prince Clad this morning, not only I saw it, but all the princes and nobles saw it!" ā
"That'...... That's what I'm pretending to be! Alex told the last secret, and no longer had any scruples, and continued, "Yesterday Prince Clad summoned me, first to show me loyalty, and then to say that he was going to have a private meeting with a woman. Only go for one day, let me pretend to be him and coax the past. I've done this once or twice before, and I've never had an accident, so I said yes! ā
"How can you agree to do such a thing?" Louie reproached.
"He's the prince, I'm the captain of his guard, what he says is an order, how can I not obey!" Alex said aggrieved, "Later, he used make-up powder to make me look exactly like him. The start went well, but as soon as the news of Prince Keskir's disappearance came, it was chaotic! The disguise powder expired around noon, and I snuck out to find Prince Klad. ā
"Do you know where he is?" Louis Road.
Alex shook his head: "He's been everywhere he's been before, and there's no trace." Just as I was about to return to the Reino Palace, I caught a glimpse of you mysteriously walking into an old church. ā
"You're stalking me?"
"I was just curious, thinking that you were also looking for Prince Clad, wanting to expose his affair with a woman, and thinking that it might ruin his reputation, I secretly followed you in, and then ......"
"And knocked me unconscious?" Following Alex's words, Louie could probably guess what was going to happen next.
Sure enough, Alex nodded and said, "After that, I disguised myself and sent you home." ā
Louis always believed that it was the soldiers of Prince Skir's magic team who knocked him unconscious, but now it seems that the magic team has long since left and is missing: "Then Prince Clad has not shown up since then?" ā
Alex shook his head at first, then nodded after a moment's hesitation. His brows furrowed, and he pursed his lips before he spoke: "I don't know if it's Prince Clad, but when I returned to my office in the Reynor Palace, I found two more things on the table!" ā
Louis held her breath, she vaguely felt that the collapse of Egrim was unstoppable, no, maybe even the pattern of Ecclemont and Tart would change!
