The figure that appeared behind Prince Otto gradually approached him, and when the figure stretched out his hand to Prince Otto, Prince Otto, who felt that there was someone behind him, opened his eyes, he held the prayer table with one hand and knelt on the cushion and turned around, when he saw the person behind him, Prince Otto couldn't help but be taken aback. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's you." Prince Otto saw the person behind him clearly and blurted out.

Donkmar was anxious and sleepless in his room, dressed in a silk pajamas from a distant land, like a clown at a banquet, and his heart was like a fierce battle, both the ardent desire for the throne and the fear of his crimes being revealed, and the expression on his face was constantly changing, like the most outstanding good man of ancient Greece.

"Shhh Appearing in front of Prince Otto was Arrod, who put his finger to his lips and said to Prince Otto.

"Lord Duke, why are you here?" Prince Otto looked at Arrod in wonder, and found that something seemed to be going on with his mystery.

"Your Royal Highness, don't say anything, take your attendants to me!" Arold did not have time to explain anything to Prince Otto, and led the bewildered Prince Otto to his room, and when Prince Otto followed him, he saw that Arold's brother Count Yves was standing at the door of Arold's room.

"You are here, don't worry! Havina had already taken someone over. Count Yves said to Arrod and Prince Otto, but Prince Otto was puzzled.

"Let's go inside, it's safe here." Arjod said to Prince Otto as he opened the door.

"I won't go in until I understand what happened, that's my principle." Prince Otto stood in the doorway and said to Arrod.

"Hey, Your Royal Highness the Prince will assassinate you tonight, and I will protect you." Arold said to Prince Otto.

"Assassinate me?" Prince Otto's eyes widened in surprise, he could not have imagined that someone would have the audacity to assassinate him at Quedlinburg.

"It's Donkmar, his Saxon nobles ready to assassinate you, but the plan was heard by the maid of your castle." Yves said to Prince Otto.

"Donkmar." Hearing this name, Prince Otto suddenly remembered his father's warning, and in his heart he had already approved of Arrod's words.

As the night wore on, the servants in the castle yawned, and the servants who did not return to their rooms fell asleep, while the servants leaned against the walls of the cloister, their heads drowsy little by little.

"Squeak." There was a slight creak in the door, and a Saxon nobleman looked out to see that the corridor was empty, so he turned back and gestured back, and then three Saxon nobles came out of the room, all wearing gray cloaks and sharp daggers and daggers pinned to their waists.

"This way." They walked down the cloister in the direction of Prince Otto's room, where the moonlight shone above the castle, and in the dim light of the cloister, figures flashed between the columns of the cloister.

Prince Otto's room was sitting with only one servant sitting in front of the door, and the servant was already asleep, holding his arms and drooling from the corners of his mouth, and three Saxon nobles looked at him, two of them pounced, and one covered the servant's mouth and dragged him into a dark corner.

"Woohoo." The servant was suddenly attacked, and immediately struggled, and his mouth made a whining sound, but another Saxon nobleman pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed at his neck, and the Saxon nobleman behind him covered his mouth and nose with all his might, and the servant's feet were violently climbed a few times before he moved.

"Quick." The Saxon nobles dragged the body into the grass outside the cloister, leaving only a pair of feet of the servant.

The three Saxon nobles pushed open the door of Prince Otto's room, and it was pitch black, without a single light, and they could only be careful not to touch anything that might make a sound, and at this moment, as if God had helped, the moon came out of the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight shone right on the window of Prince Otto's room.

"There." The Saxon nobleman poked his companion and pointed to a wooden bed in the center of the room, the curtains of the four bedposts of the wooden bed had been lowered, and although it was impossible to see the people inside, the shape of a man was faintly raised in the light gauze of the bed.

The faces of the three Saxon nobles showed excited looks, they did not expect the plan to go so smoothly, they stood separately on both sides of the bed, and desperately held their breath, but the rapid heaving of their chests still revealed their nervousness, after all, the bed was a future king, what a terrible crime to assassinate a future king.

"For His Highness Donkmar." The Saxon nobles stared at the bulging man on the bed, the sweat dripping from their foreheads into their eyes, but they held back, and they clenched the daggers and daggers in their hands, and the murder weapons glowed a little cold in the moonlight.

"Brush, brush, brush~~~." At the same time, the three Saxon nobles stabbed the murder weapon in their hands into the bed, and the sharp blade pierced the curtain and pierced the bed, and a large number of goose feathers filled in the pillow flew up, and the white goose feathers fell one after another as if they were snow.

"What's going on?" The three Saxon nobles clearly sensed that something was wrong, and the feeling of a sharp blade stabbing into it was not like slashing someone, but like stabbing a pillow, and they were suddenly shocked in their hearts.

"Whew~~." Just when the three Saxon nobles were panicking, they only heard a sudden sound, and the room was lit up with a torch, which was suddenly exposed to the light, and the three Saxon nobles couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, because their eyes couldn't adapt at all.

"Smack, smack, smack, smack." Then there was applause, and the three Saxon nobles blinked and managed to adapt to the light, and they saw four heavily armed knights standing in the four corners of the room, who seemed to have been hiding in the dark corners all morning, silent as sculptures, and clapping their hands to a woman.

"I am a courtier of the Duke of Mecklenburg, and my name is Havina, and thank you for a good show." Havina clapped her hands and smiled, her bright red lips like a terrifying banshee in the dark night.

At this time, Prince Otto and Arold sat face to face, and in front of them was a chessboard made of ebony, on which were placed the chess pieces of the two armies, and the situation on Arold's side was very good, having eaten Prince Otto's queen and bishop, and cut Prince Otto's battle line to pieces.

"Hey, no more, no more." Prince Otto, visibly absent-minded, picked up his own king and put him down, signaling voluntary surrender.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Prince so upset?" Arold smiled slightly, reached out to put the pieces back on the chessboard, and asked Prince Otto.

"I didn't expect Donkmar to want to kill me." Prince Otto frowned and said to Arrod.

"I think it's normal, His Majesty will be resentful of passing the throne to you and canceling the Carolingian tradition of dividing the kingdom equally among the other princes." Arold put his hands on the armrests of the chair and said to Prince Otto with a smile.

"But I am his elder brother, and my father has given him a piece of the richest land in the kingdom, and he has received no less." Prince Otto said with annoyance.

"Man's desires are endless, and the throne is hiss in his opinion."

"Ha, the crown means a great responsibility, and he simply doesn't have the strength to support it." Prince Otto sneered and said, King Henry didn't even think about his eldest son, how could he think about Donkmar.

"I couldn't agree more." Arold raised his glass and greeted Prince Otto, who picked up the glass beside him.

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside, and Count Yves immediately rose from his seat, his tall and burly stature, and the prosthetic limbs with sharp daggers, would have made anyone who tried to invade this place to the detriment of Prince Otto and Arrod think twice, but it was Havena, Arold's spy chief, who pushed the door in.

"How's it going, did you catch it?" The moment Arold saw Havena, he knew that it was done.

"Yes, none of the three people escaped, all of them were caught by us, do you want to send them to the dungeon for torture?" Havina said to Arrod, but Arold set his sights on Prince Otto.

"Your Royal Highness, what are you going to do?" Arold asked Prince Otto.

"Hmm." Prince Otto's brow furrowed, and the anger in his heart was self-evident, but the young prince tried his best to suppress his anger, because he had to think with the thinking of a king, not with his own feelings.

"Is it to torture them, to catch the main messengers behind them, or to imprison them so that things don't come out for a while?" Arold seems to see Prince Otto's doubts, this is the most vulnerable moment of the kingdom, if the torture of the three assassins, torture out the main messenger behind the torture is Donkmar, although it can capture and convict Donkmar, but it will definitely cause a rebellion of the Saxon nobles who are the foundation of the kingdom, I am afraid that Prince Otto's accession to the throne will be ruined.

But to spare those who tried to murder the prince in this way would give the Saxon nobles Prince Otto a signal of weakness, so it is better to keep things quiet and hidden in the torrent of history.

"Execute them, but not publicly on charges of assassinating the royal family." Suddenly, Prince Otto raised his head and said to Arrod, his tone was extremely calm, which made Arold slightly surprised, he didn't expect Prince Otto to be so decisive.

"Got it, take the three assassins to the bazaar for a public execution, oh yes, come here." Arold said to Havena, but he seemed to remember something, beckoned to Havena, and whispered a few words in Havena's ear.

"Understood, Lord Duke." After hearing this, Havina nodded and turned to leave.
