Chapter 4: Around 7 o'clock (II)
1:25 a.m
Prince Klein arranged the distribution of supplies for tomorrow, then put down the quill, and extinguished the lamp.
After a busy day, he put down his burden for the time being, lay back on the comfortable big bed, and officially prepared to rest.
Not far from the end of his bed, Bambi, who had also followed his master around the disaster area for a day, was leaning against the nest prepared for him, flapping his wings twice, and seemed to be just about to fall asleep.
"Ha, good night Bambi."
"Wow!"
As partners who get along day and night, this person and bird say goodnight to each other in a way that only they understand, and then fall asleep one after another.
Perhaps it was the hard work of the day that consumed so much energy that they all slept so deeply that they didn't even pay attention to the slightest movement under the big bed.
But from Albert's point of view, after poking the pipe out under the bed, he carefully blew out the smoke to make the people and birds in the tent fall asleep completely, and then waited for about 20 minutes before tiptoeing out of his hiding place.
… As a temporary dormitory for His Royal Highness the Prince, the guards around the big tent were indeed tight after dark.
However, as a disaster relief operation, the number of guards accompanying the prince is limited after all, and the camp that is heavily guarded at night will be much less difficult if you choose to sneak in during the day.
Albert is known as a sea thief, and with the right time, it's not hard to invade here.
After that, the rest of the test is just waiting.
In order to complete the task arranged by Douglas, Albert carefully hid his tracks, and hibernated under the bed of His Royal Highness the Prince until midnight, when he blew out the smoke and continued his plan.
As for the specific process of committing the murder, it is actually quite good.
After all, the thief's opponent this time was just a small eagle that had been stunned by the smoke, and it was certainly not a problem for Albert to disembowel this bird of prey that had lost its resistance.
By the time he had deliberately stuffed the bird's corpse into Klein's quilt in a rather horrific death, Albert's rest of the work was even more daring.
- He had no intention of leaving the scene of the crime immediately.
Because even if those guards can't stop him at all, once his whereabouts are leaked, all the arrangements that have been made with great difficulty will inevitably be nullified.
So Albert opened the package that had been hidden in advance and put the armor of the Snoopy royal guard directly on the outside of his clothes... Then, he waited quietly for the dawn to come, and only before His Royal Highness woke up did he stand up and lean against the corner of the wall that would not be immediately discovered by Klein.
The prince, who had just woken up from his sleep and was all drawn away by the corpse of the eaglet, only cared to call for the guards, and of course he did not notice that he was not the only one in this tent in the first place.
In the same way, the guards, who were alarmed by Klein's shout, rightfully focused all their eyes on His Royal Highness the Prince the moment they entered the tent.
Taking advantage of this brief blind spot, Albert quietly blended into the guards, and then left the camp where the Thirteen Princes were stationed without a trace.
…
Morning, 7:45 a.m
Prince Klein, in blood and weeping, began the worst morning of his life.
But as mentioned again and again, unlike other brothers who can't hold up the wall in the mud, the Thirteen Princes always maintain an excellent personality and at the same time have a strong sense of responsibility.
The self-consciousness of being a prince constantly spurred him on, leaving him with no time to continue to indulge in the grief of losing his pet.
So, after Bambi simply arranged the tomb, Klein had to endure his grief and continue to devote himself to the day's work.
It was also at this time that Jermaine, who received the news, also came to his side and officially started the busy day.
"Your Highness, I've heard about Bambi... Please mourn. ”
"I understand, thank you Jermaine, now let's focus on the pandemic and the refugees."
Since the catastrophe of two months ago, the immature civil rights fighter has gradually reined in his edges, and Jermaine is not only grateful to the benevolent prince who reached out to him on the brink of life and death, but also like-minded.
… Although he was born into a royal family, Klein believed that there was no difference between people because of their different backgrounds, and like Jermaine, he believed in the equality of personality and was more willing to put in all the efforts to achieve his ideals.
However, the cruelty of fate also happens to be here.
Despite the best efforts of Prince Klein and Jermaine, the kingdom's main resources are in the hands of the king.
A prince and a leader of a rebel army together are simply not enough to save a country in pain. In this situation, it is only natural for the two men to start seeking outside help.
They tried to turn to the princess's maiden kingdom of the Iron Furnace for help, but in the end they were unable to do so. Businessmen and speculators, as far less likely, donate to unrewarded relief efforts for no reason.
After hitting a wall in many ways, they finally found the only savior they could count on.
By chance, His Royal Highness came into contact with the evil party that the world government regarded as the number one enemy, and in desperation, they could only choose to cooperate with the revolutionary army in exchange for the necessary medicines and weapons!
