"Don't come close!" Florian roared at the guards, his dagger glistening in his hand, and a ridiculous doll in his other, a scene that looked awkward and comical.

It was at this moment that Vanessa and Brant entered the Silver King's bedchamber.

"Don't worry, my child," the Silver King Clio raised a hand, his palm pressed down, reassuring his son's close guard, "I have sent for his release, and I promise you that he will be unharmed." ”

Brandt crept up on the boy from behind, and Vanessa silently gestured to the king to distract Florian.

"I've heard what Creon has done to you," sighed the Silver King, "and he's hurting you, you and the others. But I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”

"I volunteered!" The boy cried out, "Don't slander your master!" He gestured with the dagger hand to his neck, and Vanessa instantly understood Creon's intentions - to cause Florian to self-inflict on himself and transfer the damage to the Silver King. With Creon's madness, killing his father and killing the king is a piece of cake, as long as he appears in the dormitory, the silver king will never survive.

By this time Brant had circled behind Florian, but he was not sure that he could grasp the boy's hand holding the dagger without injuring his soft carotid artery.

Caught off guard, Vanessa screamed in the other direction behind the boy!

Now is the time!

Brant lunged at Florian, and the boy tried to turn around, but it was too late, and he was crushed under the bear-like Brant, and the dagger in his hand was held by the prince and thrust into the floor.

"No!" Florian wailed and sobbed, "The master will skin me!" ”

"He's not going to hurt anyone anymore," Brandt said as he tied the boy's hands behind his back and handed them to the king's guards. "He will be sentenced to life in prison, living in a dungeon that never sees the light of day, and the only pleasure in his leisure time is counting his toes." Brant picks up the sad doll from the ground that belonged to the Silver King and turns to hand it to Clio's guards.

"Brandt!" Vanessa screamed. She had never called his name like this, and it almost made the prince tremble.

He looked at her like an electric shock.

The air seemed to condense into a sticky pudding, the eyes, expressions, words, and even senses were infinitely elongated, the wheel of fate of the three people collided fiercely at this moment, and the lightning and flint shone silently in the dormitory, who would experience that cruel betrayal?

"Catch them!" The Silver King was the first to strike. From the moment a door appeared out of thin air in his dormitory, Vanessa and Brant walked in together, the seeds of doubt took root in the king's heart, and Vanessa prevented Brant from handing over the deadly doll to herself, which confirmed his previous suspicions, and the king's nature made him think of using his magic at the first time, but sadly he had already exhausted the silver mines near the Temple of Wine, and now he only had hope in the guards around him.

Vanessa, however, was closer to Brandt, and she snatched up to Brandt in two steps, snatched the king's doll, and held it to her chest.

"What are you doing?" Brant's eyes narrowed.

"I said, I don't want to marry any of them." Vanessa stepped back.

"Give it back to me." Brandt menacingly drew the sword from his waist.

"Didn't you hear him say 'catch them.'" Vanessa pointed to the Silver King, "He abandoned your son in the first place, just because you were here with me - now, you are not even the second son, you are my accomplice. ”

"Brandt, don't listen to this woman's nonsense!" The old king struggled to sit up from the bed, although the wound on his abdomen had been removed from the magical damage, but the physical damage was still there, and he only had to move lightly to make him breathe in pain, "You have always been my good son, and after Creon is imprisoned, you will be my rightful heir!" Now, defend the dignity of the Land of Wine Valley with your sword and slay this wicked woman! ”

"Wicked woman?" Vanessa smiled, "A day ago, you stared at me in a daze and asked me to marry you. She hugged the king's doll tightly, "Don't forget, your doll is in my hands, but we are heart-to-heart, and if you want to die, you will die first." ”

Brandt's face was gloomy, and the long sword was clenched in his hand, "Vanessa, put down the puppet, I promise you to leave safely." He shook his head slightly, "Don't push me." ”

Vanessa was amused by the prince's words: "You guarantee my safety? She put the emphasis on you and me, "You can't protect yourself, can you keep me safe?" Wake up, my dear prince. If we fail, we will both be put to death by Ling Chi - with a thousand knives and hung on a skinning rack for public display. She slowly slid towards Florian's dagger on the ground
