The Great Prince's Palace.
The sporadic lights lit up the darkness, Sasso put his hands behind his back, leaning against the window and looking at the moon, tonight was destined to be sleepless for many people in the royal capital. And he is no exception.
He was waiting for someone, or rather, he was waiting for news.
The long wait was a mental torture, and to be able to endure this torture showed that this news was very important to him.
Silent sighs, sleepiness hit.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
"Enter."
The sudden interruption in the middle of the night seemed to make Sasso's spirits instantly shake up like the best sobering elixir, because, the person he was waiting for, the news he was waiting for, finally came.
"Bedwin, what's going on?"
No nonsense, Sasso got straight to the point and asked the questions he was most concerned about.
With a heavy face, Bedwin came to Sasso and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, according to the information I have just received, the outcome of the matter is completely beyond anyone's imagination. ”
"Huh?"
Bedwin had served by his side for many years, and Sasso knew his character well, and he wouldn't have behaved like that if it weren't for something that he valued enough.
"What the hell is going on?"
After calming down the disturbance between his breathing, Bedwin said, "Your Highness, everyone is dead. ”
"Dead? Who died? Be specific! ”
Hearing Bedwin's brief words, Sasso frowned dissatisfied.
"The detained nobles of the kingdom and the guards of the kingdom who went to suppress them...... They, all dead! ”
When such shocking news came out of Bedwin's mouth, Sasso didn't seem to accept this fact at all, and after a short period of shock, he looked at him in disbelief and said, "You said they were all dead?" That's impossible! ”
If he said that all the noble ministers of the kingdom died, he might have expected it to understand, but when it came to the death of the kingdom guards, it was simply a fantasy.
He knew very well that the near-invincible personal guard under his father, as his father's most loyal sword shield, was the one who steadily suppressed all the ill-intentioned people, because everyone knew that this guard was powerful.
But Bedwin is now suing him that the Kingdom Guard, who went to suppress him, is dead, which shows that his father's strongest pillar is not invincible. And the one who destroyed this pillar is likely to be his younger brother!
"Tell me exactly what's going on!"
Sasso sat back in the chair in front of the table, closed his eyes, and stretched out his fingers to gently rub his forehead, as if clearing out his chaotic thoughts.
"According to the spy report from the academy, after the Third Brigade of the Kingdom Guards sent by His Majesty to suppress them entered the academy, after a short break, they began to carry out a split operation, and most of the guards led by Safierlan, the adjutant of the Third Guards Brigade, went to suppress the rioting students, the main purpose was to attract the main force of the other party's secret cooperation; In the other part, the commander of the 3rd Guards Brigade, Kinslon, went to raid and rescue the kidnapped nobles, and their plan was normally not wrong, but they did not realize that their real enemy had already planned and awaited them. ”
After a pause, Bedwin continued: "The guards led by the commander of Kinslon, who were completely defeated in the raid to rescue the noble ministers, the guards were destroyed, and he was trapped, and the noble ministers were all killed in retaliation; On the other hand, the lieutenant of Saffirland completed the suppression and captured the leader of the academy, Tirrant, and was accidentally ambushed by the enemy on the way back, and as a result, all the guards were killed except for the adjutant of Saffirland, who escaped. ”
"How is that possible, how is it possible......" Sasso muttered constantly, as if he still wouldn't believe the fact. Now I only want to know one thing, why were those guards killed? ”
He knew very well that his younger brother was behind those who were behind them, and if his younger brother had the power to defeat his father's guard, it would be easy to deal with him.
As the saying goes, it's not your friends and relatives who know you best, it's your enemies.
And he and he are not only relatives, but even enemies, and on this basis, he knows better what his brother will do with such an inflated force.
If he was able to secretly cut off his father and his support forces so violently, what could not be done?
He had to know what gave his brother the power to defeat the Kingdom Guard.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much about this." Bedwin felt Sassol's uneasy feeling and comforted: "This time, the four princes' men were able to successfully ambush the Kingdom Guards, not only because of their careful planning, but more importantly, because they used rare and expensive scroll magic! ”
"Scroll magic?" Sasso asked solemnly.
He is no stranger to scroll magic, especially high-level scroll magic, which has the ability to change the victory or defeat of a small war, but there are very few high-level scroll magic in the world, and even the collection within the royal family is extremely scarce.
And he himself once obtained a few high-level scroll magic by chance is also regarded as a treasure, only when it is related to the overall situation of life and death, he is also the top of the kingdom's power pyramid, he believes that his brother must also have it, but he did not expect that he would be willing to pay so much in order to cut off his father's strongest pillar.
"As far as I know, this time the four princes used a total of three high-level scroll magic, one was used to imprison the actions of the Kinslon, forcing the Kinslons to do nothing during the raid; A group of guards used to ambush and retreat on the way home, as a result, the guards lost most of their combat power and led to their annihilation; The last one was used on Adjutant Safirran, but unfortunately Adjutant Safirlan still escaped. ”
After listening to Bedwin's narration, Sasso said thoughtfully: "In other words, if there is no scroll magic, then Volance's men will not be able to compete with the Kingdom Guard head-on?" ”
"Yes." Bedwin said affirmatively. "Moreover, even if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has subordinates who are against the Kingdom Guard, after tonight, His Majesty will definitely impose severe sanctions on His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for the death of the Kingdom Guard, and when the time comes, unless ......"
Sasso held out his hand to stop Bedwin from continuing, knowing what he was trying to say.
Unless his younger brother openly rebelled and staged a military coup!
The death of the noble minister, the death of the kingdom guard, although there is no evidence of such a bad influence, but the punishment of his father will definitely not be soft.
The father wants to give an account to the family of the deceased noble minister, but also for himself.
Perhaps even his father didn't expect that Volance had such a monstrous audacity to openly challenge his authority, and even let him succeed, if he didn't punish him, it would be difficult to ensure that Volance's next step was his throne.
When he first found out about Volance's plan, Sasso was surprised because he didn't understand why his brother had suddenly become stupid, and even if his plan was successful, the ensuing backlash would be enough to disqualify him from competing for the throne.
He was under the impression that he would not have made such a low-level mistake.
For some reason, his instinct told him that the truth that had surfaced might be only a tipping corner.
