114.Chapter 114 Expediency
The living princess can give the confederacy, and the benefits that Guy II can bring, Alinson can give as well.
And what about the dead princess?
Even though she knew that Alan was provoking, Gwynnie thought about it carefully, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became!
is also a great nobleman, his ancestors were knighted with military merits, but now there is no successor, compared with the Tang clan, the previous rulers of Samuel's Fifth Star District, is obviously slightly inferior.
If it was Alan Adrington and Allinson who were killed in the accident, Carter would not be able to put forward the conditions so confidently, after all, they lost not only the Duke's grandson, but also a princess-to-be!
But if it was not Carter's duke's son who was killed, but a princess of high status, the situation would be very different.
Carter's royal family died in a foreign country during the friendly exchange between the two countries, and whatever the reason, it would directly escalate to a major problem between the countries, and it is understandable that Guy II, who had lost his beloved daughter, would have led a large army to crusade against Samuel.
With Gwynnie's understanding of her father, Guy Sen II, he may not be able to do such a "profit first" thing.
What's more, Allinson's biological mother, Madame Lugie, was Guy Sen II's favorite lover, and Alinson was also the emperor's child - if one had to be sacrificed for the other, or more precisely, to ensure that a biological son would marry Crown Prince Samuel, Gwynnie didn't think she would really be the last victor left!
Looking at Samuel's "allies" again, is it more valuable for them to keep the princess, or is it more in the interests of the other party for Alinson to stay?
Gwynnie's face finally changed......
The princess with the backing of the royal family, and the ordinary nobles who are illegitimate children, who needs Samuel's "allies" to continue to support and not turn their faces at any time, who is better controlled, and who is better to speak in the future......
It's also obvious!
Her princess knights are loyal, but in order to play more realistically, most of the guards died in the previous night's battle to "protect" her, and the remaining ones are not with her at all.
If Alinson had really reached some kind of agreement with Samuel's "allies", or even Guy II, she would have been a lamb to the slaughter, with no ability to resist!
But she was not reconciled! is unwilling to become someone else's pawn like this, and can only die in the end......
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Watching Gwynnie's "King Vulture" go from being unstoppable and complacent, to becoming restless, to becoming terrified, Alan knew that his words had worked.
This princess, who was delusional and worry-free, probably understood that her current situation was not fundamentally different from the Alan in front of her.
- They're all waiting to die!
The only difference is that these "gangsters" will find a suitable time for them to be "killed" separately or "killed" together.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, when are those local friends of yours going to get rid of the hostages?"
Noticing that Princess Gwynnie hadn't interrupted the conversation between them, which meant that there should be no monitors installed in the room, Alan asked in a low voice.
Princess Gwynne glanced at Alan, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke, "We...... Their initial plan was to use the protesters of the Samuel Empire as a name, because they were dissatisfied with the inaction of the Samuel royal family in the matter of the interstellar pirate hijacking of civilian ships, so they kidnapped the royal dignitaries who happened to be out of business, in order to arouse the public's attention to these events, and at the same time urge the Samuel royal family to do everything possible to find the interstellar pirates, and give justice to the victims and their families. ”
"But there are no interstellar pirates at all, or, in the few incidents that came later, the gangsters are not real interstellar pirates, so surely it is impossible for our people to give a satisfactory answer to the protesters in a short time, is it?!"
Gwynnie didn't answer Alan's question, but the silence proved something.
Now it's Ellen's turn to be anxious.
Because this means that this kidnapping incident is really aimed at the royal family!
Apparently some of Samuel's conspirators, the usurper and Carter had made some kind of agreement to exploit and amplify the negative effects of the interstellar pirates and the kidnapping of the princess, causing a huge blow to the reputation of Samuel's royal family.
Then they will have the opportunity to force Beckwell the Great to abdicate under the pretext that he is not qualified to be the emperor of the empire, and then support the puppet emperor or even replace him and directly change the dynasty!
Alan can let his body enter the system space, although the coordinates of the space entering and leaving the space will not change, but as long as the "hostage" is gone, the gangsters will definitely be very flustered, and then look around for someone.
At that time, he can directly wait for the gangsters to find no one and think that the "hostage" has fled to another place and go to hunt for him, and then come out of the space.
But he didn't do it immediately after he came to his senses.
The reason why he had to wait for Princess Gwynne to come over to "see" him was to get some useful information from the other party, to see if he could get clues and find the initiator behind the scenes.
Now that he finally got some of the facts he wanted to know, Allen's mood was not at all light.
Even if he could escape, as long as Princess Gwynne was really killed here, whether it was Carter's Guy Sen II or those Samuel conspirators, he would be able to succeed!
- How can we keep Princess Gwynne from dying in Samus on the premise of getting out of trouble?
Eren is even more distressed at the moment than Princess Gwynne, who wants to live!
"Now that we're on the same page, I suggest you don't want to argue with Alinson about anything, or try to convince the gangsters to work with you again, that will only make you one step ahead of me......," Alan could only tell the other party first.
Princess Gwynnie gave Eren a blank look, she had indeed neglected some key stakes because of her pride and complacency, and had led her to danger by trapping herself.
But she has now completely figured it out - those so-called "allies" were not her "allies" all along, but her father, Guy Sen II, and Allinson's "allies"!
"Where the hell are we now?" Alan continued.
"This is Samuel the Emperor, this kind of thing happens, martial law is everywhere, where do you think we will be?"
"What do you mean ......"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Haven't gotten any news yet?" The young prince seemed as calm and composed as ever, but his heart was full of worry and anxiety.
The adjutant who came to report lowered his head: "No, at present, the major checkpoints leading to other cities in Die, and all the airports of Emperor Star are strictly monitored by Emperor **, but they have not yet obtained His Excellency Allen's whereabouts." ”
Kyle stood at Beckwell the Great's table, clenching his fists.
Deacon Richard of the Church of Dee had arrived overnight in the Serentu to describe in detail what had happened. Later, with the confirmation of the students, it was proved that one of the deacons may be the guilt of the gangsters.
But their search party soon found the deacon's body not far from the church, apparently killed by the gangsters, so the clue was broken.
In addition, all the guards who were on duty outside the church that night were sacrificed - these gangsters were definitely superior in number and firepower to the guards, and they had the help of Neiying, so they were able to take away Allen and Carter with lightning speed!
"There is worse news now," said Emperor Beckwell, picking up the frontier and reporting, "there has just been a kidnapping here, and Guy Son II of Carter over there has received the news that Carter's army is now being assembled, and it is estimated that it will soon arrive at the junction between us and Carter." ”
"It's so timely, it seems that I was prepared!"
"Cabinet officials have begun to impeach me for mishandling the matter of interstellar piracy, and it has caused an international dispute, demanding that I make a formal review and apologize to the people of both countries."
This is to ask the emperor to take all the responsibility for these things, and the consequences will be, one can imagine. Even if Beckwell the Great refused to land for a while, if the tense continued to develop, the situation would be even worse, and finally ......
"In any case, try your best to find Alan, the more time passes, the less their safety can be guaranteed!" Beckwell the Great slammed the table: "Send more manpower, be sure to carefully check the entry and exit of personnel in all major levels!" ”
At this moment, Kyle suddenly said to the adjutant, "Have you searched carefully around the Die's church? ”
"After the incident, there has been a thorough search, and there is no trace of the gangsters."
"Are you doubting ......"
"Transfer my guards and my father's Prince Guard, and go to Die," Kyle said to his lieutenant, "I'll go with you this time!" ”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At this time, Mrs. Catherine, who was at MacAdam Manor, was receiving guests for afternoon tea with Mrs. Enid, the wife of the head of the house, Adrien.
The ladies chatted and talked about what had happened recently.
"Do you see the message on the virtual platform? This is appalling! A countess asked.
Mrs. Enid hid her face and said, "Of course I saw it, although the protesters' actions were a bit excessive, but to be honest, they didn't do anything wrong...... I mean...... The Serentu Palace must reply quickly in order to stabilize the hearts of the people! ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Catherine's biggest concern at the moment is the safety of her son's best friend, Allen, who has been a protester in history, and the hostages have not been handled very well.
"To tell you the truth, our family's General Adrien is now envious of your family," another noble lady continued, "The emperor is in turmoil right now, and I don't know if it will be ...... in the future It's better to work as a civilian, at least without worrying about security......"
- And don't worry about standing in line!
The ladies present said a word in their hearts, but they did not say it.
Enid was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't express it, just a few perfunctory words and brought the topic over.
When Madame Catherine next to her heard this, she naturally knew that this was the psychological work of these noble ladies comparing themselves with each other.
General Adrien, the head of the McAdam family, was no longer able to fly mechs because of a genetic defect, so he was transferred to a civilian position, which was a shame for him and something that his family was unwilling to mention and did not dare to mention.
But now it seems that this kind of 9-to-5, stable and comfortable work without the slightest room for improvement, has become a fragrant bun in turbulent times, and everyone envies it, and it is normal to have two sour sentences......
- Wait, what does she seem to have overlooked? Adrien seems to be very busy lately, often going out and often visiting!
As the lady said, a civilian general, who is not directly under the First Army, why would he be so busy? What the hell is he up to?
