"Your Royal Highness, are you here?" Pori watched in amazement as Edward hurried into the arena with a group of guards, and then drove away the surrounding squires without saying a word, leaving Pori alone.

The gladiatorial arena that had already ended had long since been empty, leaving only a few slaves limping to clean up the garbage left by the audience and the blood stains in the gladiatorial arena.

Edward looked at Pori quietly for a moment, and then said solemnly, "Pori, I need a group of slaves, a group of useful slaves."

Pori was stunned, is His Royal Highness the Prince finally going to shoot me? Thinking of the glittering gold coin, Polri felt distressed. However, His Royal Highness the Prince's orders cannot be disobeyed, and Pori is well aware of this.

"How much His Royal Highness the prince needs, I want to find a way." Pori said painfully.

"Polli hear me clearly, I'm talking about 'useful' slaves." Edward added, raising his right hand and slashing it lightly around his neck.

Pori was shocked when he saw Edward's movements, and he immediately understood what Edward meant. So he said with a sad face: "The villain understands, when will His Royal Highness the Prince want it?" How much?"

Edward nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "How many do you have?"

Pori rolled his eyes, sighed and said, "There are still more than twenty people."

"More than twenty?" Edward's face changed, as if he was not satisfied with the number, and then sneered and said to Pori, "Is the Dragon Slayer also in there?"

Pori was startled and hurriedly said, "The dragon slayer is naturally not inside."

Edward snorted coldly and said, "How many of you brought them all!" Including Dragon Slayers. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Pori still didn't understand that his little thoughts had been seen through by Edward, and he hurriedly said flatteringly: "His Royal Highness the prince is angry, the villain doesn't dare." Wait a minute, the villain will take people. His Royal Highness the Prince is satisfied. ”

Watching Polry crawl out, Edward took a deep breath. He was much more nervous than Pori, because this was to assassinate a duke, and once the matter leaked out, I was afraid that their Stuart royal family would not want to continue to rule.

In a short time, Pori soon brought more than thirty people up.

Edward took a moment's notice. These more than 30 people are indeed all kinds of essences, tigers and tigers, and they are obviously warriors who can fight one against ten before they become slaves. Especially Constance, the first to be called the Dragon Slayer, Edward could feel an oppressive force even if he was a few meters away.

Edward nodded with satisfaction, walked up to everyone under the protection of the guards on both sides and said, "Today I will give you a chance to be free!" As long as you obey my commands and complete my tasks, then you will be free. If you don't want to, you can quit. Right now. Take your pick. ”

Listening to Edward's words, a few of the slaves began to whisper, but most of them looked at Constance at the front, waiting for his answer, apparently having made up their minds to advance and retreat with Constance.

Edward also looked at Constance, not only for his prestige among the slaves, but also for Constance's abilities.

Constance thought quietly for a while, and when the whispering behind him disappeared, he asked, "How do you count the words of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Edward smiled. He held out his hand towards Pori. Then Pori took out a stack of parchment rolls with a bitter face.

Edward spread out one of the sheets to the slaves and said, "This is your slave contract." After speaking. He threw the parchment roll in his hand into the brazier on the side, and dozens of parchment rolls soon burst into flames, and finally turned into ashes in the eyes of everyone.

Constance glanced at Edward, and finally said, "Please give an order from His Royal Highness the Prince."

Edward smiled and said, "It's still early. Pori, let them eat enough, and by the way, get rid of the smell on their bodies!"

Pori on the side was still looking at the contract that had long been dusted. Thinking that these slaves, who had spent thousands of gold coins to get them, were gone all at once, my heart was bleeding all the time.

"Lord Duke, I have arranged the soldiers around, three hundred men in the manor, and two hundred outside the manor. All the places that need to be guarded have been arranged. Leonardo reported respectfully to Alan.

Alan nodded. Then he said with some pity: "It's a pity that Fiona was not called, with her unparalleled strength, it will be much more reassuring."

Leonardo saw Allen's worried look and asked, "Lord Duke, is there really anyone going to do something to a big nobleman in the royal capital?" Don't they know the consequences of doing so?"

Alan smiled coldly and said, "I just know the consequences of doing this, so I'm worried." Because once their plan is revealed, then what awaits them is a dead end!"

"In that case, did you send someone to bring in some guards from Essis?" Leonardo realized the gravity of the matter and opened his mouth to suggest.

"Nope! It's too late. With his courage, he either didn't do anything, or it was just these two days. Maybe tonight. "Charles II was not an incompetent monarch. A monarch who can compete with King Paul for decades, and can still firmly control the royal power after several defeats, and ensure the support of the princes in the country, is definitely a tough and methodical monarch.

Once this kind of person decides on something, it will definitely not procrastinate.

"Leo, you have to be on guard at all times in the past two days, and if something unusual happens, you must report it at the first moment, understand?" Alan reminded solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Duke." After receiving Leo's answer, Eren asked Leonardo to step down.

Looking out the window, the layers of dark clouds that were gradually approaching, a piece of black oppression, thick and heavy, could not see a trace of light.

"So, where is the breaking point?" Alan muttered. Alan was sure that even if he could block Charles II's thunderous blow, what would he do in the future. After tearing his face with Charles II, could it be that he wanted to form an alliance with the Rollin Kingdom and directly destroy the Anmuxi Kingdom?

Let's not talk about whether George VI is willing or not, let's just say that Ambrosi, a country that has been strong for hundreds of years, can it be extinguished? And the church, if you intervene at this time, then you will have to face the alliance of the church and Ambrosi?

Or did he suffer this loss, and then hide until Essis set himself up as king? On the safe side?

"How? Did the guys go?" Edward picked up a cup of hot cocoa. I just put it to my lips, but I stopped.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, our people are watching." The guard on the side hurriedly replied.

Edward nodded, but he couldn't drink the hot cocoa in his hand. Eventually, Edward placed Hot Cocoa on the table and stood up. Pacing back and forth in the room.

The guards on the side comforted Edward and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, there will be no problem with our people watching from the side."

Edward exhaled deeply and said solemnly: "Remember, no one will be able to escape when the time comes, whether dead or alive. Got it?"

"It's His Royal Highness the Prince."

There was a knock on the door. A voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Miss Gloria has arrived. ”

Edward spoke up, "Let her in." Then he said to the guards beside him. "Stand down."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hearing Edward's order, the guards on the side opened the door and respectfully retreated. After a while, Gloria was guided into Edward's room by her attendants.

"Your Royal Highness." Gloria Adam said hello first.

Edward nodded and said directly, "Gloria, I invite you to come over today, because I have something to explain to you."

Gloria nodded and said, "May I ask what is the matter with Your Highness?"

"It's our marriage. My father was in poor health. That's why we're going to bring the marriage forward. While my father is still able to officiate at our wedding. Edward explained.

Gloria frowned, and asked with a hint of sorrow, "May I ask Your Highness." When?"

"Three days later."

"So fast?!" Gloria asked, shocked.

Edward looked at Gloria's delicate face and said, "It's not too early, you've been here for a month or two. If it weren't for the war, we would have gotten married a long time ago. ”

Gloria asked stiffly, "But...... But...... Can't wait two more days? After all, I still have to tidy up the venue or something. Wouldn't three days be too rushed?"

Edward frowned, stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean? Gloria, you have to find out, it's you, the Falao family, who want to marry my Stuart royal family, and it's you who beg me! So you're not in a position to say no. ”

Gloria bowed her head. The white hands clenched into fists.

When Edward saw Gloria's appearance, an evil fire suddenly stretched out from his heart. grabbed Gloria's right hand and said angrily, "Are you not convinced? Okay, I'll see if you dare to resist me today!"

With that, he pushed with both hands. Shove Gloria against the wall. Edward then pounced on Gloria, and began to tear at Gloria's white gown.

"Don't!" Gloria screamed, desperately trying to keep Edward out of his approach. Holding Edward's clutches with both hands, he tried with all his might to push Edward away.

Could it be that today is the beginning of the tragic fate of the second half of his life? Is he going to be ruined by this incompetent prince? Gloria thought desperately in her heart. Isn't his father sending himself to Ambush just for a political marriage? Aren't you ready to sacrifice for your family a long time ago? Why are you so unwilling now? Why?

Suddenly, Gloria thought of that day, the gladiator called the Dragon Slayer. Even in the face of mortal fate, he still dared to despise Edward, who held the right to life and death.

And that night, the man who told him he was willing to help her return to her hometown. If it were him, he would definitely not be at the mercy of this ruthless fate, right? If I asked him for help, would he be willing to help me?

Maybe it's because of Gloria's resistance, maybe it's because the cumbersome and thick gown is just too much of an obstacle to action. It took Edward a long time to succeed. Instead, I was tired and out of breath.

In the end, Edward, who ran out of patience, looked at Gloria in front of him fiercely, and waved his right hand violently.

Syllable! A slap slap smacked Gloria's face.

"Slut! At this time, you still dare to resist me. When I inherit the throne, I will put you to death! And you Farao family!" Edward shouted frantically.

Gloria covered her swollen face and stepped back into the corner. He didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the crazy Edward in fear.

The huge pressure in Edward's heart at this moment was completely vented, and he began to frantically smash the tables, chairs and benches in the room.

Edward never really saw the cruelty of politics. Even if he has been on the battlefield a few times very limitedly, he is just a bystander under the protection of the guards. In his impression, the throne was naturally his turn. And once he sits on the throne, then his vassals will naturally treat him loyally, just like his father.

Now that it was his turn to face this cold and cruel political dispute, he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Finally, Edward stopped his movements, gasping and roaring, "Someone!"

A guard respectfully opened the door to the room and walked in.

"What does Your Highness command?"

Edward glanced at Gloria coldly, and said sharply to the guards: "Send Miss Gloria back to the manor, and you must not leave the manor without my order!" After speaking, he ignored Gloria and walked away directly.

Kelly waited for Edward to leave before she dared to enter the room, and quickly helped Gloria up worriedly: "Miss, why did you offend His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Gloria stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up with Kelly's support, and silently followed Edward's guards into the carriage and returned to the manor.

Sitting in the carriage, looking out the window at the whizzing streets. A drop of crystalline liquid swept across Ruyu's cheek and dripped on the back of her hand resting on her knees. Gloria lifted the back of her hand and gently wiped it with her right hand as if it had never happened.

As night falls, the lights come on. It's a pity that there is no bustling night market here, and there is a rain cloud in the sky, so the citizens of Anmuxi hid at home early to avoid being drenched by the heavy rain.

Suddenly, the sky lit up, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a tremor and thunder. Louder and piercing than the drums of war on the battlefield.

Alan stood on the second floor of the manor, looking condescendingly at the dark city of Ammusi, and it seemed to be very quiet tonight. There was not a single light around, not even a wisp of smoke in sight. Between heaven and earth, only Allen's manor seemed to be lit up, and tonight was destined to be an unquiet night.

Alan slowly stroked the knight's sword beside him, but the cold touch gave people a sense of relief.

"Leo, you said it's almost winter, why is there such a big thunderstorm?" Alan casually chatted with Leonardo, who was on the side of the guard.

Leonardo stood vigilantly behind Allen at this moment, and replied in his mouth: "Lord Duke forgives me, I don't know."

Alan Lang laughed, "I know, it's to wash this filthy world."

Yes! Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance.

Leonardo immediately looked at Alan tightly and said, "My lord?"

Alan waved his hand casually, and said without looking back, "Go ahead."

Leonardo saluted behind Allen and turned to leave.

Alan stood by the window, looked at the courtyard that lit up in an instant, and sneered: "Since you want to fight, then fight!" (To be continued.) )
