Chapter 58: Arrest
When I returned to the inn, it was not yet dawn, the surroundings were very quiet, it seemed that nothing had happened, a few of us went back to the room and knocked on the door, and the voice of Ah Zi immediately sounded inside.
'Who?'
'It's us.' I replied in a low voice.
'Oh, I'll come now, you wait. Didn't you say that you didn't come back until after dawn? Why did you get it done so quickly?' Ah Zi behind the door seemed to say casually, but the princess and I couldn't help but be stunned when we heard this, no, obviously before we left, we told them to let them flee this place immediately if we didn't come back after dawn, and couldn't stay for a moment, how could she say this now? Could it be... Thinking of this, the princess and I couldn't help but glance at each other, and our hands touched the hilt of the sword in unison.
'Squeak' the door opened, the light in the room was particularly dim, as if deliberately not wanting people outside to see the situation inside, Ah Zi showed half of his body from behind the door, and his face was full of extremely unnatural smiles.
'Let's go inside.' Ah Zi said while glancing behind him, now we are completely sure of what happened, it stands to reason that it may not be too late to run away at this time, but the problem is that we can't just abandon Ah Zi and the two of them here, so we have to cheer up 120,000 points of spirit, step into the house and prepare to find out.
'I'm sorry to keep you two waiting....' I pretended to know nothing and entered the house, but at the moment when Ah Zi and I had just passed by, I suddenly turned around and kicked Ah Zi behind my back, and suddenly I heard a scream of 'Ah', saying that it was too late, and I hurriedly pulled Ah Zi behind me, and then the princess immediately rushed in, drew her sword and threw herself into the inner room.
'Don't move!' At this time, I only heard someone in the back room break the drink, I looked up and saw Xiao Jia being held hostage and standing on the bed in the back room, with a long sword around her neck, of course, these have long been expected by us, but surprisingly the hijacker is wearing a military uniform, and the soft armor on his chest reflects the national emblem of the Borrell Kingdom!
"We are the royal guard of the Kingdom of Borrell, you have been arrested for violating the criminal law, give up your weapons immediately, otherwise you will be punished on the spot!" The hijacker spoke loudly, and at the same time, the doors of the other rooms in the corridor were kicked open, and a large group of soldiers rushed out, surrounding Aeolia and the others who were still standing outside.
'Damn!' Kaede was still young after all, and had never experienced this situation, so she almost instinctively pulled out her weapon when she saw this, but before she could make a move, she was pulled by her sister Ju on the side.
'Kaede, don't be impulsive!'
'But...'
'They are the Royal Guard, if we do it, we will arrest and beat the poor, which is tantamount to openly fighting against the entire Borrell Kingdom, our target is that guy, there is no need to cause these troubles...'
Hearing my sister say this, Feng hesitated, and finally chose to slowly withdraw the weapon, at this time the scene suddenly fell into a kind of stalemate, originally we thought that the hijacking of Ah Zi and them was either the demon or the 'Templar', if that was the case, of course we don't have to show mercy, but I didn't expect that what appeared now is actually the local royal guard, these guys are ordinary humans, and we have no grudges, for a while, we are really not good to kill, just when the two sides were tense, only to listen to the side of El Rose suddenly spoke: ' Hey, you're Gary from Team Three, aren't you?'
A young man with a freckled face in the encirclement was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed a little embarrassed to nod.
'That's right, it's me...'
'Then you know who I am, right?'
'Of course, you're Instructor Brown.' Gary, the freckled man, replied respectfully, "I just remembered that Eroth had been lurking here for a long time as a Royal Guard instructor, Brown, so he should know most of these Royal Guards.
'Could you please explain what the hell is going on?' Ellos asked.
Gary hurriedly replied, 'I'm sorry, we're just carrying out orders, and we don't have the authority to answer your questions.'
'Then find someone who can be responsible, hurry!' Eroth said angrily.
'Yes!' You don't have to say that this guy seems to have some prestige here, the Gary immediately gave a military salute when he heard this, and then trotted away, and it was not long before an officer dressed as a man arrived at the scene, and as soon as he saw El Rose, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
'Ah, Instructor Brown, I didn't expect to see you here.'
'It's you, Alhat!' Eroth was taken aback, and by the look on his face he knew that the relationship between the two was not much better.
'Yes, I have come to arrest the criminals on the orders of His Majesty the King, so please cooperate with us and come with us.'
'Catch me? What crime?'
'Abducting the population and believing in heresy.'
'It's nothing!'
'I'm sorry, but we're just doing what we're told, and whether it's true or not has to wait for His Majesty to judge for himself. Come on, handcuff them all!" Or is it that Your Excellency the Instructor wants to arrest and beat the poor?' A mocking sneer flashed across Alhart's lips as he said this, and it felt as if he wished Alroth did it.
Eroth hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and stretched out his hands: "Please, but the whole thing has nothing to do with these young people, please let them go."
'I'm sorry, but we've been ordered to bring you all back, so I'm sorry!'
'You!' Eroth still wanted to argue, but at this time, someone on the side had already stepped forward and handcuffed his hands, it stands to reason that although Eroth was not lightly injured at this time, it was still easy to break free from a few soldiers, but he just glared at those people viciously, and finally chose to be captured. At this time, the situation is very awkward, a few of us want to say that it is not a big problem to rush out, but the trouble is that Xiaojia and El Rose are already in each other's hands, we can't ignore it, seeing that the group of soldiers came to the front with handcuffs, I and the princess, Ah Zi and they glanced at each other, and finally had to choose to temporarily put down their weapons.
Seeing this, Alhart had a smile on his face: 'Very good, take these guys back to the dungeon and wait for interrogation!'
'Yes!' In this way, after all kinds of unexpected enemies, we were finally captured by a group of ordinary humans, and obediently taken to the dungeon of the palace, Elros and I were locked in a room, and the princess and the princess were taken into the women's prison, and when they were all tossed, it was already dawn outside, and we sat in a damp and dirty cell, thinking about what happened last night was like a terrible nightmare.
'I'm sorry to get you involved.' At this time, Ellos suddenly spoke, he was lying in the corner of the wall, beads of sweat dripping from the bean earth, looking extremely depressed.
'I should have said this to you, and if I hadn't come to you, it might not have happened.' As I spoke, I took off my shirt and rolled it up into a ball and placed it under Ellrose's head so that he could lie down more comfortably.'
'It's useless, you heard what the princess said last night, it already knows my identity, even if you don't come to me, it won't let me go easily. It's just that I didn't expect it to move so fast, and in one night it persuaded His Majesty to order the arrest of us.'
So the whole thing is really a deliberate back-the-beaten-up to put the charge of 'missing girls' on our heads?'
