34 Rescue Benefits

"That night, there were a lot of people who were doing good things – maybe they were just doing it for their own benefit."

At midnight on May 5, 1244, the rebels stormed Butler Castle and found King Albert's body, but no trace of the crown prince.

Most of the Praetorian Guards in the castle were successful, but they also faced the fate of being hunted down in the city. As the fighting shifted from the castle to the streets of Butler, most of the residents closed their doors and windows when they heard the sound of the fighting, and the warring sides tried to avoid leading the fighting to innocent civilians, knowing that the coup was essentially a royal infighting. So the fighting, although sporadic in various parts of the city, lasted for a short time and suffered few casualties. But at this time, everyone understands that the Praetorian Guard is actually fighting the trapped beast - the king is dead, the crown prince is more than lucky, and the will to resist the Praetorian Guard is close to nothing.

There were also a few bold commoners and aristocrats who took to the streets to heal wounded soldiers, regardless of the side. And the more daring person, Baron Risson, wants to take the opportunity to save some of the Praetorian Guards who have fled from the desert, and then secretly take them under his command and strengthen his armed forces. He led the servants, and when he saw the fleeing Praetorian Guard soldiers, he asked the servants to help secretly bring them back to his mansion, he belonged to the neutral faction, and the rebels would not enter his mansion to check, and in the future, these Praetorian Guard soldiers protected by him would become an important capital for him to win military exploits on the battlefield, of course, this is all for later.

"Baron, we've saved more than twenty people, it's time to go back...... one of the servants reported.

"Keep looking, you might come across ...... Don't forget that we are rescuing the family interest! The young and frivolous Baron Risen insisted.

A group of rebels passed by them, and the leader knew his identity as soon as he saw the family ring on his right hand, and specially instructed: "Baron Risson, we are searching for the escaped Praetorian Guards, the battle may happen at any time, for your safety, it is better not to take a walk at night." Of course, this was the left ear and the right ear to Risson, but they were soon attracted by the light of the fire from the nearby bridge.

"There's a fire over there! Just go! The rebel squad set off at once.

"Let's go, let's go check it out too!" Baron Risen beckoned his men to follow him and went straight to the fire.

……

The river below the bridge murmured, and the waves reflected the flames on the bridge, splitting into orange, petal-like fragments. On the bridge, I don't know who piled up the corpses of the Praetorian Guards who died in the battle and set them on fire, causing the surrounding rebels to rush over.

On the bridge, in addition to the burning corpse, there was a petite woman, dressed in gorgeous white silk satin and a fine headdress on her head, standing straight and straight, with a little blood on her body, unable to tell whether it was her own or someone else's.

"Princess Lilith!" Baron Risson, who was hiding in a side alley, judged the identity of the woman on the bridge from her dress and decoration, "...... No, I can't see the face clearly......" He doubted his thoughts a little, and in the night, although there was a fire, the woman's face could not be seen clearly.

"Princess!" With a loud, terrible voice, a tall figure slowly approached the bridge, dressed in the robes and armor of the Praetorian Guard, holding a long sword in his right hand, and a cloth bag hanging from his waist, which was bulging with the contents of it. "Princess! I advise you to surrender with me, and don't force me! ”

The tall figure had his back in the direction of Ryssen, and it was impossible to see his face, but the current situation was generally clear - the Praetorian Guard soldier had betrayed the princess and coerced her into surrender.

The princess on the bridge shook her head vigorously, she wanted to turn and run away—but with burning corpses on one side and tall traitors on the other, the princess was in a dilemma, and there were constantly rebel soldiers around her, who had surrounded the place, but no one dared to come forward.

"That's rude! Princess. The tall figure strode towards the princess, and was about to compare the long sword to the princess's neck, but the princess suddenly pushed him hard, trying to escape, but after all, the woman's strength was too small, and the princess was choked by his throat.

"Looks like you don't want to live anymore!" The tall figure roared, and then stabbed the sword at the princess—

"Uhhh

In full view, the betrayal Praetorian Guard soldier stabbed the princess's tiny body with his sword, and the rebels around him couldn't help but exclaim - he showed no mercy to women, even with women.

The princess's body was held in the air by his neck, and with a "poof", the long sword was drawn, and blood gushed out from the small body. But instead of letting go of the princess, he turned to the edge of the bridge and threw the princess's body into the river!

"Plop-" The sound of the splash was followed by another exclamation from the rebels.

"This is self-inflicted!" The terrible voice sounded again, and the tall figure turned around—someone recognized him as the leader of the Praetorian Guard, Ente Koman! Risen didn't know him at this time, but saw that he was covered in scars, and in some places he was even bleeding outside.

"Prince Lane's soldiers," Entekoman said to the stunned rebels around him, "please take me to the Prince...... No, it's to meet our new king, and I'm going to give him a gift! As he spoke, he untied the cloth bag around his waist and took out the contents and held it in front of him—a head!

The rebels shouted again and were talking. A rebel squad leader boldly approached Entekoman, looked at the head in the light of the fire, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's the crown prince!" The head of the crown prince! ”

This sentence once again shocked everyone present, including Baron Resson, who was hiding behind, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly left the place with his servants. Led and escorted by two rebel squad leaders, Entecoman was about to meet Prince Lane, and before leaving, Entecoman glanced back at the burning Praetorian corpses on the bridge, then turned and left.

……

Baron Risen led the men to the small pier downstream of the river in the city, and he was right, the princess's body had drifted here along the river.

"There!" Risen pointed to a vague white figure on the river, "Catch it!" ”

The servants brought a penny and reached the princess's body to the little dock, where it lay flat on a plank, dressed red with blood, and her black hair obscuring her face.

"Princess......" Baron Risen knelt in front of the body, trying to fix the body's loose hair......

Who knows—

"Ah!!h

Everyone present exclaimed! Because—the princess's body suddenly sat up!!

"Princess! You...... You're not dead! The frightened Baron Risen sat slumped, trembling even as he spoke. But the princess tossed her hair and showed her face—in the firelight, Ressen saw a face he hadn't expected.

"Wait...... You're not a princess, you're the ...... That accompaniment! Risen reacted suddenly, and he intermittently spoke the truth of what he had perceived.

Yes, the person who was always considered a princess on the bridge just now was actually a wind chime in disguise. Seeing Risen and the servants slumped on the ground, especially the family ring on Baron Rissen's right hand, Wind Chimes seemed to quickly understand who these people were and that they were no threat to her. However, the wind chimes did not explain to them, let alone say anything, but quickly got up and fled, leaving the terrified Ruisson and the servants and disappearing into the darkness.

"What the hell is going on?" Baron Ressen, who was slowly recovering from his terror, thought repeatedly.

……

"It's a pity that I've never seen that Ente Koman again, and I've never seen Baron Risen again......"
