Chapter 758: The Empress Returns, Kendall's Death

At this moment, listening to Inheim's faint words, Kendall suddenly understood how Catherine felt when she took the initiative to abdicate.

Unwilling, angry, but more importantly, disheartened.

No matter how hard you try, you can't get the deep frustration of the helplessness that others recognize.

A deep sorrow welled up in his heart.

As the group continued their way to the upper floors of the castle, Inheim continued his persuasion.

"Look at what you've done, Kendall, look at what you've done in the last two years, and ask your own conscience, the Erathian Empire, under your stewardship, is it better or worse than it was under His Majesty Catherine? Who is responsible for the series of defeats of the Erathian army? ”

"How long are you going to escape from reality? Do you really have to lead the empire completely to ruin before you can truly wake up? Do you have to make yourself the greatest sinner of the empire to discover your mistakes? ”

Inheim's every word struck the heart of the imperial regent.

"Enough is enough, don't say it again"

Kendall roared like a wounded lion.

The spirit world, which was already on the verge of collapse due to the huge pressure, finally could no longer support it at this moment, because of Inheim's merciless accusations.

It wasn't that he didn't wonder if he had done something wrong, but as Inheim said, he refused to admit this fact, he protected himself with a false aura, deceived himself under the pretext that everything was for the sake of the Empire, and he was afraid to face his mistakes.

But now, he couldn't run away anymore.

"Say no more"

The heart of the Imperial Regent is dripping blood.

At this time, the group finally came to a staircase leading to the upper level of the castle.

Kendall took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions, then turned to look at Inheim.

"Catherine, is it really back?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty has returned, and she is coming over" Inheim nodded, a look of determination, "Soon you will be able to see her again"

"Really?" Kendall smiled bitterly, "With what I know about her, it's hard to imagine that she would be willing to come back, I thought she would never come back, so that's fine, if it was her, she would be able to clean up the mess I left behind, right?" Inheim, if you can promise me one thing, I will cooperate with you and persuade my men to lay down their arms and surrender."

"What's the matter?"

"I have no opinion on what you want to do with me, but I hope you don't embarrass Lisander, he is just a child, he doesn't understand anything, all the mistakes are committed by me alone, and it has nothing to do with him"

Kendall looked up to the sky and sighed, "He shouldn't be blamed for my mistakes, and I hope you don't embarrass my subordinates, they are all loyal warriors of the Empire, and I will make them loyal to Catherine"

Inheim looked at Kendall a little surprised, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect the other party's request to be this: "Our goal is to pull the empire back from the wrong path, not to kill, so, for Alexander and your subordinates, you don't need to worry at all as long as they surrender, of course we won't embarrass them, and Your Majesty Catherine's temperament, you also know, do you think Your Majesty will do such a thing?" ”

"Yes, Catherine has always had a good heart," Kendall smiled wryly again, "It seems that I really think too much, so I'll leave everything up to you."

With Kendall's cooperation, the next thing was much simpler, and when the soldiers on the upper floors of the castle gave up resistance under Kendall's persuasion, Inheim and his party successfully controlled Alexander in their hands.

After putting Kendall and Alexander into custody, Inheim led the men to the hall again.

"Send a letter to Craggs and get him moving"

At Inheim's instructions, a letter that had been prepared was sent.

Soon after, in the center of this hall, a milky white magical light suddenly flashed, and then, a figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At this time, Catherine had not yet recovered from her previous horror.

She never expected that that Craggs would dare to do this.

When Craggs pulled out the magic scroll and shouted that he was going to send her back to the Erathian Empire, she had already thought about what would happen next, and she wanted to run away in a panic, but it was too late, the other party had already premeditated, and she couldn't react if she was fast.

She could only watch as the magical light enveloped her, and then the landscape in front of her suddenly changed.

When the magic light finally dissipated, she saw the hall she once knew, and she also saw Inheim and the others who stayed in the hall to welcome her arrival.

"You ...... You ......"

Realizing that she had truly returned to the continent of Erathia, and that she was now in Gffenhardt, where she had spent her girlhood, Catherine was speechless.

Why is this happening?

Catherine stood trembling in place, tears glistening in her eyes.

I shouldn't have come back, I don't belong here

She shouted in her heart, but now she had no way to change this established fact.

She has returned to the empire she loves so much, the Erathian Empire.

At this time, Inheim and the others had already knelt down on one knee in unison.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us for our unreasonable actions, but we have no other way to think about it, Your Majesty, the current Erathia Empire, really needs you"

Inheim said aloud, holding in his hands the crown he had taken from Alexander's head, representing the symbol of the highest power of the Erathian Empire.

"Your Majesty, please restore the throne ......" Inheim was still saying something, but suddenly found that Catherine moved, which made him surprised and delighted at the same time, of course, he couldn't continue.

By the light provided by the torches on the wall, he and the others could clearly see that Catherine was walking towards them.

She walked all the way to Inheim.

She reached out and took the crown from Inheim's hand.

Then, the former Empress of the Erathia Empire, now the Empress of the Enros Empire, threw this crown made of gold, inlaid with countless gems, exquisite and magnificent, and extremely luxurious, heavy, far away.

The crown, which represented imperial power, rolled to the ground after hitting the wall, emitting a series of crisp sounds that were so piercing in the silence of the hall at this moment.

Everyone was stunned.

At this time, Inheim noticed that Catherine was already in tears.

"Your Majesty......"

Inheim was a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Catherine moved again.

With a snap, she slapped Inheim in the face heavily, knocking this former henchman to the ground, she was so hard that Inheim's face was not only instantly red and swollen, but the corners of his mouth were also oozing blood.

"How dare you do this, how can you do this"

Catherine's voice was not loud, but anyone at this time could deeply feel how angry she was at this time from this sentence.

"You shouldn't have done that"

She walked up to the other person and threw out another slap in the face.

The same is unsparing.

Then the third, and the fourth, one after the other, and she just slapped and slapped them down.

At this time, there were dozens of members of the Catherine faction who were staying in this hall with Inheim.

But no one dared to move.

No one dared to flash either.

If someone hadn't broken in, maybe the dozens of Catherine faction members present would have been slapped hard by Catherine one by one.

"Lord Heim is not good, Kendall's descendant army has returned, and Master Derek is missing......"

Rushing into the hall was a crusader with a panicked face, and as soon as he entered, he roared through the crowd for Inheim's figure, but after seeing what was happening in the hall now, and who the only figure standing was, he could not say any more.

"Your Majesty" he knelt down on one knee in surprise and joy, but secretly puzzled, the situation in front of him was really a bit weird.

Catherine stopped.

After this venting, her mood finally calmed down a little, and she began to accept the fact that she had returned to the Erathian Empire.

Regaining her senses, she knew that anger would not solve anything.

She wanted to go back to Enloth, but now, she had to figure out what had happened and why these Catherines had used such extreme means to get themselves back to the Erathian Empire from the Enloth Empire.

You must know that such an incident, if not handled well, will definitely cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries, and may even trigger a war between the two countries.

In any case, this kind of behavior can be called a kidnapping.

From the Iron Fist Castle of the Enlos Empire, kidnapping the queen of the Enlos Empire, and it was successful, which made the face of the Enlos Empire go there?

Catherine could not tolerate the deterioration of relations between the two countries because of such an incident, she loved the Erathia Empire deeply, but at the same time, she loved her husband's Enloth Empire deeply, and the palms of her hands were fleshy.

Therefore, after regaining her senses, Catherine's first thought was how to minimize the impact of this incident, and then turn the big thing into a small thing.

And before that, she had to figure out what was going on at the moment, what kind of situation it was.

Wiping tears from the corners of her eyes and regaining her usual composure on her face, Catherine turned to glare at Inheim.

"What's going on? What could have caused you to act so inexplicably? Have you ever wondered what the serious consequences of doing this are? If there is no reason to satisfy me," she said in a deep voice, "you people, just wait to go to the gallows to apologize."

Inheim had already gotten up from the ground by this time, but he did not get up, but continued to kneel on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

"Your Majesty, of course we know that this is very inappropriate, but we really have no other way," Inheim replied abruptly, because of the slap just now, he was a little slurred at this time, but he could finally make people understand, "You refuse to come back to preside over the overall situation, Kendall insists on going his own way, and if it goes on like this, the empire will be in ruins, how can we, as the people of the empire, watch the empire decline and then fall apart?" Waiting for its perdition, we would rather fight with all our might"

As he spoke, Inheim briefly explained everything that had happened in the empire during this time, as well as the situation in Gffenhardt Castle at this moment.

At this time, in another place on the upper floor of the castle, Kendall and Alexander's room were held.

"Derek, what do you want to do?"

Looking at the long sword in his right hand and the mace in his left hand, approaching Lishander, a bloodied Derek, Kendall was shocked and angry.

"You can't do that, because Heim promised me, he said you wouldn't hurt Alexander"

Kendall struggled to get up and stop him, but his body was tied with ropes by the Catherinees, and it was really difficult to move.

"Do you still think I'm in league with Inheim? Master Kendall"

Derek sighed, a little helpless.

Kendall couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

From the open door, he clearly saw that several members of the Catherine faction who were originally in charge of guarding this room outside the door had fallen in a pool of blood at this time.

And it was Derek who caused all this.

Realizing what was about to happen, Alexander, who was also tied up, shrank desperately into the corner of the room until there was no way back, but this only delayed his death for a few seconds.

"Don't, don't kill me," he pleaded with Derek, who was approaching him, but to no avail.

Derek raised the mace in his hand and fell it again, and in the midst of Alexander's pleas, he smashed the head of the emperor who had only been on the throne for less than two years, and had done the most inaction in the history of the Erathian Empire.

The lifeless corpses fell limply against the walls, white brains and red blood, leaving shocking marks on the walls.

"Your Majesty"

Kendall groaned, tears streaming uncontrollably.

"What are you up to? Why did Derek get to such a point? What exactly is your purpose? ”

He angrily rebuked the subordinate he had once trusted.

Derek sighed again, turned to face Kendall, and said, "You really don't understand?" My lord, if you and Alexander are not dead, how can Catherine be willing to return to the throne? ”

As he spoke, he once again raised the mace that was stained with brains and blood: "Lord Gru has been carefully planning for so long in order to get Catherine back on the throne, and it has been difficult to get to this point, how can you and Alexander become a stumbling block for Catherine to ascend to the throne again?" Master Gru said that if you and Alexander don't die, Catherine can't make up your mind, so you have to die."

"Gru?"

Hearing the name, Kendall's pupils began to contract violently.

"Gru, you say? Why? Could it be that all this is Gru's conspiracy? ”

Kendall couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, that's all that Lord Gru planned, he asked me to try to convince you to attack Krurod, and then use this to provoke Catherine's faction to welcome Catherine back, by the way, Lord Gru asked me to greet you on his behalf, he said that he was very grateful to you for taking care of him back then, and he also said that he never forgot the pain you brought him, and I have clearly conveyed to you what Lord Gru meant, and the time for small talk is over, my lord, go on the road with peace of mind."

"Wait a minute, I don't understand, Derek, why are you ......" Kendall was reluctant to ask something, but he was only halfway through his sentence before Derek's mace had already fallen.

With a muffled thud, Kendall's body also fell to the ground.

"Do you want to ask why I'm helping Lord Gru?"

Derek dropped the heavy mace in his hand and looked at Kendall's still twitching corpse, muttering to himself a little sadly.

"Of course I'm going to help Lord Gru, because from the very beginning, I was a spy of the Elven Kingdom who infiltrated the empire with Lord Gru, didn't I? I can have today's status in this empire, and it is inseparable from the help of Lord Gru back then, although you are good to me, my lord, but my family, my parents, my brothers and sisters, and their children, but all under the control of the elven kingdom, you don't have any family, how can you understand that kind of family bond, for the safety of my family, I am willing to do anything"

"Lord Gru said that as long as he can complete the task he gave him privately, he will try to get the Elf King to release my family and return my family to freedom, and even promised to find a way to send them to the Entagri Empire, Lord Gru has always done what he said, I can't refuse this condition, my lord, so I'm really sorry for you and Alexander, it's good to die, my lord, I should also leave, after I confirm the safety and freedom of my family, I will go down to you to confess your sins Although you are too harsh, but you treat me, Really good."

After muttering this to Kendall's corpse, and confirming that even magic could not bring Kendall and Alexander back to life, Derek took a letter from his bosom that had been written long ago, placed it on Kendall's body, and then turned to leave the room that smelled of blood.

"In this way, my mission is over, the Catherine faction will not be suspicious, and I can go back to Eli to meet my family, Lord Gru is really a last resort."

Walking to the door, he glanced back at Kendall's corpse one last time, muttered another word, and then strode into the shadows of the hallway.
