Chapter 45: Reshuffling the Cards (2)

"Put him down."

Charles II was put down by the soldiers, but he was no longer able to stand up, so he could only lean back in his chair helplessly.

"I'm underestimating you, little Ouranos. You don't have to be worse than your father at all. No! You're going to be so much stronger!" Charles II stared at Allen with a bitter smile.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to do this either. But we don't have a choice, do we?" Alan looked at Charles II, the once glorious emperor.

Charles II coughed, and a trace of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. Edward looked at Charles II in horror, his lips trembling and speechless.

But he didn't care, he sighed and said, "What are you going to do next?" You killed the royal family and wanted to establish themselves as the Lord? Or go to George VI? The nobles on the continent can't tolerate you. ”

Alan nodded slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows?" Take it one step at a time?"

Listening to Allen's irresponsible words, Charles II shook his head, unable to figure out why he was defeated by such a person.

Seeing Charles II's unconvinced look, Alan smiled and turned his head to look out the window.

"Wait. Your Majesty, this drama is not over yet. ”

Charles II raised an eyebrow and looked at Alan inexplicably.

The wind and rain are still blowing outside the window.

Jupitt followed Constance with dozens of royal guards. Despite the fierce wind and rain, and the cold armor on his body, it was even more cold and biting, but Jupiter's heart was anxious.

Judging by Constance's advancing defensive line, their target was the Colosseum. Jupitt knew that there were many slaves in it, and if they were to be released. It's even bigger. And the only thing he could do was catch up with Constance as fast as he could. Stop them before they expand things.

The idea is good, though. But things don't often just go according to plan, or they wouldn't have happened so much.

At the moment when Jupiter arrived at the Colosseum, there was a loud shout from the Colosseum.

"Oops!" When Jupitt heard the voice, he understood that Constance had released the group of slaves. What they may face next is a riot of hundreds of people.

Thinking of this, Jupitt had to give the order to retreat, because with his current strength of dozens of people, he simply could not confront Constance. He needs to gather more troops. And now, in addition to the five hundred royal guards, there are only a thousand city guards in the royal city.

Constance led more than a dozen gladiators around him to quickly break through the weak defense of the gladiatorial arena. Hundreds of slaves were easily freed.

Just as Constance was about to lead the group of slaves to begin their escape from Ambrosi, a hooded man appeared at Constance's side and stopped him.

"Are you going to rely on these people to make things happen?" The hooded man said in a mocking tone.

Constance frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

The hooded man took out a parchment scroll from the inside of his clothes, handed it to Constance, and said, "This is a map from Ammousy to Paris, and from the north gate, the west and south gates are heavily defended."

Constance took the parchment and looked at it for a while, and after confirming the authenticity of the parchment, he said to the hooded man, "Who are you?" What do you want to do?"

The hooded man turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a word.

"This is the will of the Light."

Holy Light? Constance thought to himself, whatever your plans are. Don't try to control me, or I'll let you know the consequences!

Watch the hooded man disappear into the darkness in the distance. Constance turned around and shouted to the slaves behind him, "Freedom is ahead, follow me!"

Roar! The slaves roared and followed Constance north. And the gladiatorial arena behind him was on fire in the rainy night.

The beasts in the arena seemed to smell danger, roaring frantically in their cages, struggling with their chains. The fire gradually burned to the place of the beast cage, and some of the beasts were directly burned to death by the fire, while a small part also broke the extremely fragile shroud of the burned and escaped. It adds another layer of chaos to the city.

"Huh? Your Majesty, what kind of place is it? Alan looked at the firelight in the distance and said with interest.

Whether it is a royal palace or a gladiatorial arena, it is one of the few buildings that stands out from the crowd in Ammuxi City, so they can be seen clearly with the naked eye alone.

Charles II narrowed his eyes, although he was extremely weak at this time, the wounds he suffered on the battlefield seemed to seize the opportunity and burst out at this time.

"That's? The Colosseum? You want to make a fuss out of that scum?" Charles II said sarcastically.

Alan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong. I didn't arrange it. ”

Charles II frowned when he heard this, and stopped talking.

Edward was shocked, he was not an idiot, it was clear that his plan was wrong. It must have been the slaves, who weren't killed by the royal guards, so they returned to the Colosseum.

It was one of the guards who knocked on the study and reported to Allen, "Lord Duke, Miss Gloria has arrived."

"Please let her in."

Gloria didn't know why Alan had asked to meet at such a late hour, and Egypt had already refused, but the guards were half-forced to put themselves in the carriage. What is even more outrageous is that they came not to Allen's estate, but to the royal palace of Charles II.

Walking into the royal family's study, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. Edward was tied to the ground and fell to the ground, while Charles II was limp over a chair, two guards behind him staring at them to prevent them from making any drastic movements. Allen, on the other hand, stood alone in front of the window, looking out the window with a smile on his lips.

"Dear Miss Gloria, please forgive me for asking you to come over so late, but the matter is urgent, so I can only be rude." Alan gracefully apologized to Gloria.

Gloria was completely stunned by what lay ahead. "Lord Duke, this ...... What's going on? Why are Your Highness and Your Majesty here? Also ......"

Alan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now, I just want to ask now." Miss Gloria. Do you want me to fulfill my promise now? If you want to go back to Danone. Now is the best chance. ”

Gloria looked at Alan stunned. But in an instant she understood the current form. The smiling Ouranos in front of him actually kidnapped the king in just one night. What does he want to do? Is it against the entire kingdom of Ammusi?

Looking at Gloria, who was stunned, Alan patiently sat down in the chair again. However, Edward on the side couldn't help but speak.

"You've known each other for a long time? Gloria, you slut, I thought you were such a pure woman, but I didn't expect you to be just a slut! A!"

"Shut up!" Gloria was awakened by Edward's cursing, and seeing Edward immediately thought of what he had done.

Should I leave? Do I want to go back to Danon? Gloria couldn't help but ask herself quietly.

Eventually, Gloria looked at Allen, who looked calm, and said, "I'm not going back."

Alan smiled a little funny. "Why?" he asked. Isn't it your desire to return to your hometown? Miss Gloria, please seize the opportunity, if you miss this time, I am afraid there will be no second time. ”

Listening to Allen's persuasion, Gloria was no longer troubled, looked at Allen with a smile and said, "What should I do when I go back?" Is it once again being used as a tool for marriage, and once again being given away? Moreover, the Duke invited me so solemnly, I guess it will not be so simple. I'm more interested in the Duke's purpose. ”

Such a smart woman, Alan said secretly in his heart.

"In that case. Then I have a proposal for Miss Gloria to consider. Alan said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, Duke, please."

"I don't know Miss Gloria. Are you interested in becoming the queen of the kingdom of Ammusi?"

A sentence instantly froze the space, Charles II stared coldly at Allen, and Edward stared blankly at the ground. Gloria's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened. Alan was still smiling, looking at everyone's reactions wantonly.

Bang! The door of the room was kicked open, and Jupiter rushed into the city guard with the wind and rain, and the wind outside broke the peace in the house at once, blowing the flames of war in the house and shaking constantly.

"Quick, gather all the guards! Come with me!" Jupitt burst into the city guard and immediately shouted.

"Where are you going, General?" A voice rang out in the room.

Only then did Jupitt take a closer look, and saw a man standing in the room looking at him, and several guards were standing behind him.

"Who are you? What about the captain of the guard? Tell him to come out to me!" Jupitt asked, looking at the man suspiciously.

The man took a few steps closer and said with a smile: "It seems that the general does not know the situation yet, and now the city guard is already in charge of the city, and the general needs to be informed of any actions." By the way, under the name Leonardo. ”

Jupitt frowned, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he was not familiar with the city guard, so he didn't think much about it, and quickly said, "That's good, Leonardo." I have been ordered by His Majesty the King to summon the soldiers of your city guard for the time being, and to assemble them for me at once. Otherwise, it will delay His Majesty's business, then you are asking!"

Listening to Jupitt's words, Leonardo slapped the table and said angrily, "Jupitt! Until now, you are still obsessed, you traitor who has taken refuge in the barbarians, and you still want to call in the soldiers of the guard, do you want to be ineffective against His Majesty? I, Leonardo, can't spare you first! Someone, take Jupiter down for me!"

"You...... You're ......!" When Jupiter heard Leonardo's words, he was so angry that he pointed at Leonardo's words and couldn't speak.

"What are you waiting for, His Majesty's coat of arms again, do you want to rebel?" Leonardo looked at the hesitant guards on the side, and flashed the heraldic ring that had been stripped from Charles II's body. When the people saw the ring, they did not suspect him, so they rushed up and did not go to Jupit.

"How daring!" Jupitt let out a rage and kicked the first soldier to pounce on him. There was no mercy in the end, and with a superb swordsmanship, he killed several soldiers in just three or four rounds. After that, he rushed towards Leonardo.

"You dare to pretend to be a royal envoy and look for death!"

Hum! Leonardo snorted coldly, and lifted a chair to be lifted to Jupit.

With a swing of the long sword in Jupitt's hand, the chair was smashed to pieces in an instant. However, the next moment the eyes flickered, and a strong force came from the stomach, followed by a sharp pain and a curled stomach.

Leonardo punches Jupitt in the stomach, knocking Jupiter out of the house. Jupitt clutched his stomach and lay on the ground in pain. Losing the help of the eaves, the rain fell from behind him, drenching him all over. He looked at Leonardo, his hideous face filled with anger.

Several soldiers of the Royal Guard outside the house looked at the scene in disbelief.

Leonardo walked up to Jupiter and said sharply, "Suffer death!" Traitor!"

"No !!!!!"

"How? Interested?" Alan waved his hand at Gloria. Woke up Gloria, who was in shock.

"I ...... I ...... "This news is too shocking, Rao is Gloria has long been prepared for Allen to say something earth-shattering, and she has to be frightened by Allen's words.

"Presumptuous! Ouranos! What qualifications do you have to say that!" Charles II roared angrily, but along with Charles II's excitement, his injuries were also broken, including many previous dark diseases, and at this moment, they all broke out. Charles II snorted and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Edward screamed when he saw Charles II vomiting blood. At this time, he had no idea, and he could only put his only hope on Charles II.

Alan didn't change at all, he just took out something from behind him and played with it carefully. When Charles II saw it, another mouthful of blood spurted out. Alan is playing with the crown that he usually wears on the head of Charles II!

"It's not a good thing, don't you wear it on your head all day?" Alan tossed the crown up and down, and everyone present was shocked.

Gloria swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly suppressed the confusion in her heart, and asked tremblingly, "Lord Duke, this, can this really be done?"

Alan looked up at Gloria, and slowly walked in front of Gloria. Looking at the black and white eyes that were clear from his own, he raised his right hand and raised his index finger to Gloria's chin, looking at each other.

Gloria didn't expect Alan to make such a move at this time, and her heart suddenly beat uncontrollably and violently. The two were very close, and their breath smelled each other. Two red clouds quietly appeared on Gloria's face, and she didn't dare to look at Allen, and unconsciously turned away.

Alan looked at Gloria's coquettish appearance, smiled evilly and said, "Of course, my Queen!"

"You!" Feeling Allen's breath hit his face, Gloria hurriedly took three or four steps back, covered her chest with her hands, and gasped for breath.

"So, tell me your answer!" Eren reached out his right hand towards Gloria.

Gloria looked at Alan's right hand that stopped in mid-air, and her heart wavered. Charles II stared at Allen, and the hatred in his eyes could almost turn into substance. Edward fell to the ground in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking, maybe he had given up hope a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
