The Behemoth of Xavier Chapter 16: Once Upon a Time in the Royal Family
The next night, dressed as a guard, Bone followed Quinn to the palace, and Bone had never seen such a magnificent place, and he felt that even if he had a map, it was very easy to get lost.
"The two of you take Ah Gu to the designated place, and if someone interrogates him along the way, pay attention to help him cover. He commanded the guard beside Ah Gu.
"Lord Bone, please follow us. The guards led the bones and began to patrol the palace.
Every time they went to a place, the guards would tell Ah Gu where this was, and then led them to the place they agreed to pick up and take a look, and then led Ah Gu to the place guarded by the guards.
The place has arrived, no need to say the guards next to him, Ah Gu can also see that the place has arrived, there are no guards at the door of other houses, there are more than ten people on the left and right sides outside the courtyard of this house, and the secret sentry does not know how many people there are.
"I'm not afraid of these people, even if I double them again, it will take a little more time at most, but if I attract magicians and vindictive masters, I will definitely not be able to run away with Dals. Ah Gu clenched his fists a little anxiously.
"Don't worry, sir, the guards who will deliver food to the room will come in a while.
These guards who deliver meals are all palace guards, and they only obey the orders of the royal family, and even the commander of the guards, Lord Ace, can't order, they are the dead soldiers of the royal family.
After a while, when the people came, we knocked them unconscious, changed into their clothes and went in.
Rest assured, few people know these guards, and they rarely speak to us. One of the guards said.
They waited in the dark for more than ten minutes, and sure enough, two guards in different costumes came over, one of them carrying a food box, which looked like he was going to deliver food.
Before the guards could approach the courtyard, Ah Gu and the guards rushed up, and the guards didn't seem to expect that anyone in this palace would dare to attack them, and they were put to the ground in a few moments, and their movements were silent.
As a hunter, when attacking prey, try to hide your voice and breath, which Ah Gu does very well.
Yesterday, for a day, Ah Gu had been trying to adapt to the power of his blood-forming power. Although it has not reached the previous level, it is still possible to avoid the detection of ordinary people by such a distance.
"You and I go in. Ah Gu called a guard, changed into the clothes of a janitarian, and swaggered into the room with a food box.
There were several magic lights in the room, which were very bright, and the guards consciously guarded the door.
Walking inside alone, he came to a large living room, which was richly decorated.
The nobles of Axavier always liked to hang some weapons, shields, and armor on the walls of their houses as ornaments. And this room obviously has not a single weapon furnishing.
Ah Gu saw a light in the door in front of the right side of the living room, so he walked inside.
"Did you get the food? As soon as Ah Gu was about to carry the food box, a young man's voice came from inside the house.
"Oops, not Big Brother Dalles' voice. Ah Gu frowned slightly.
Apparently this young voice brought him bad news. If this person wasn't Dalles, then Dalles would most likely be where Big Brother Quinn was going.
"We have to evacuate quickly, if they succeed in the rescue, someone will soon find out that Brother Dalles is gone, and martial law will begin in the palace, and it will be difficult for us to get out. Bone was a little worried about whether Quinn's side would be able to rescue Dalles safely.
"Why can't you come?" the young voice in the room sounded again.
"You can't leave right away, you can't make the people in the house suspicious. Ah Gu carried the food box and walked into the room where the sound came.
Ah Gu looked at the furnishings inside, and it looked like it should be a study. There is a table around, a bookcase full of books, and an ornate magic chandelier hanging overhead.
Ten meters away, a delicate gauze tent blocked Ah Gu's vision, and a faint figure was sitting inside reading a book.
Ah Gu placed the food box on the table in the room and opened it, and then placed the food inside on the table one by one.
"This must be a big shot. ”
Obviously, the bone-in steak sprinkled with complex spices, the delicate bread, the fragrant broth and the cut fruit in the box clearly told Ah Gu that this guy had a high status.
Ah Gu pouted, then slowly moved backwards to the outside of the house.
"Stop, who are you?" Just as Ah Gu was about to leave the room, the young man's voice came from the gauze tent, and there was curiosity in his voice.
As soon as the words ended, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy lifted the gauze tent and walked out.
Ah Gu stopped, resisting the urge to turn around and run or step forward to restrain the person in front of him.
He lowered his head and said, "What do you command?" and stopped squeaking. It's just that cold sweat is oozing from his back, and his muscles are tense, ready to attack this young man at any time.
"Don't be nervous, I won't call people outside. Can you tell me who you are?
I know that you are definitely not a member of the Praetorian Guard, because although the Praetorian Guard is a guard, he is also a servant of the royal family.
Every time they put down their meals, they would introduce me to today's dishes, and it was their responsibility.
Obviously you don't know this, you shouldn't be from the palace, right?
You can see that I'm just a child, can you tell me what you're here for?"
The boy seemed to see Agu's nervousness, and his voice was a little urgent. However, Ah Gu could also feel that the young man was also a little scared.
"I'm not here for you, I can't tell you what I'm here for, but as long as you don't make a sound, it's safe. Tell me who you are?" Ah Gu saw his fear, and even drew his knife and threatened.
"Don't hurt me, I'm not going to speak loudly. Are you here to save people?" the young man quickly shook his hands and showed that he was very obedient, but sure enough, Ah Gu's movements scared him.
"Your name!" Ah Gu asked again, as if he didn't want to say his name.
"My name is Abt, and I am the second prince of the kingdom of Azerville. The boy's face was full of worry and fear, but he only hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind to say an answer that shocked Ah Gu.
"But you...... You seem to be ......" Ah Gu's eyes were full of shock and doubt.
"Looks like I'm in captivity, isn't it? I've been in captivity for more than two months. You seem to be shocked to hear that I am the second prince?" Abt was a little sad and a little curious.
"I was really shocked, because in my eyes, you should be a person who is in control of everything, at least not lose your freedom. "Ah Gu is even more vigilant.
He feared that he had encountered another trap, one that lured them into the urn.
It's just that deep down in his heart, Ah Gu believes in this young man's words, and if it is a trap, then doesn't this mastermind put his life in his hands? He doesn't believe that this young man will be his opponent.
"Obviously someone else is in control, I think you're here to save people, right?" Abt looked at him with anticipation.
"Yes, I'm here to save your brother Dalles. "Ah Gu didn't want to delay any longer, he had to figure it out as soon as possible, and he was even more worried about the actions over there.
I know where my brother is, and my mother has led me to see him a few times. Abt said eagerly.
"Wait, as far as I know, you must have manipulated all of this, and your brother was also captured by you. But the fact that you're standing in front of me as a prisoner makes it hard for me to believe it's not a conspiracy. ”
"The mastermind of all this is our mother, who is not our biological mother. Abt was silent for a moment, and then made a startling news.
"My mother died when I was five years old, and my father was wallowing in grief for seven years.
After the mourning period, all the noble ladies knew that this would be a rare opportunity for them.
And although his father was in the prime of life, he never looked at other women again," Abt's eyes were moist, and he was a little immersed in the memories of his mother's death and his father's depression.
"A palace banquet changed all that. The Grand Duke of Gryfin brought his family to the royal city as a guest. That was the one that changed all that. ”
Abt's eyes were back in focus.
At that time, the young Princess Afra Gryfin became the center of the feast. She is beautiful, and what is equally worthy of his beauty is her kindness that is difficult to glimpse in the aristocracy.
She didn't wander among the noble young masters and ladies, but just watched the flowers and plants in the garden.
A maid filling dishes bumped into her in the dark, staining her gorgeous dress.
The maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, knowing that in that case, offending a foreign guest would be severely lectured and driven out of the palace, if not to be executed. ”
Seeing that no one was passing by, Princess Afra helped her up and told her to leave quickly and not to be seen by others.
She herself, on the other hand, sneaked into the banquet by avoiding passers-by, and then slammed herself into a plate that was placed on the edge, so that her already stained dress was once again covered with soup.
It would be rude to do so as a princess, and it would even bring shame on her family. But in the contemptuous eyes of the noble ladies and ladies, she smiled merrily.
The Grand Duke of Gryffin apologized to his father and told her that he would reprimand her harshly when he returned.
However, everyone didn't know that his father was a natural supersensory talent, as long as he wanted to, his supersensory talent could give him insight into everything within three hundred meters of his surroundings, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
This innate ability of my father was known only to our two brothers, and my father had seen all this, and he was touched by the kindness of the princess, and decided to keep the Grand Duke's family for a few more days.
The Grand Duke returned to his principality a few days later to attend to the affairs of his principality, but Princess Afra stayed.
My father grew to like her, and we agreed with her because we learned about the banquet. Finally, three years ago, she became the new queen of AXavier, our new mother. ”
