Chapter 317: Ruthless Heart
readx;
Bradley was at the forefront, Gadia and the wounded Eggesy followed, and the garden outside the king's chambers was silent, until Evan came out of the chamber, and Bradley was sure of his suspicion that the Queen's rebels had been resisted by Evan, and that the Queen's faction, which was supposed to be fighting here, was attacked from both sides.

"Your Highness Bradley, King Byron is already waiting inside, please come in alone. Evan had blood on his light gray plate armor, and even if he didn't say it, Bradley knew what the other party had just done. Evan didn't say anything about the Queen's faction either, his lips closed tightly, like the guards behind him.
Bradley shook his head, "The Queen's faction has not been completely eradicated, I can't risk my life, and if it's Evan Deputy Commander You, you won't enter alone." ā
"Then bring a small number of guards, but Bradley, you need to know what this place is. ā
Bradley didn't say anything more, even if the eldest prince ordered his subordinates to rush into the king's bedchamber, it could be carried out in the name of "searching for the rebels", but Bradley still had a glimmer of hope in his father's heart, hoping that the other party would be wise.
Bradley selected more than a dozen guards to follow him in, and carried the bodies of Calton, Broken Eyebrow, and Walter inside, but Evan did not stop him, and the deputy commander had no idea that the man under the white cloth was the third prince, Walter.
The reception room of the King's Quarters was dim, but it began to light up when Bradley and his men stood outside.
Avi followed at the end of the group, and he and Felistie were the same, keeping an eye on their surroundings and Evan as he led the way. But when he walked into the living room, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
I saw King Byron sitting on the high seat in the living room, and the king did not look like he was seriously ill at all, but more like recuperating his energy. Beside the king stood a man who was tall and thin, with a white mask on his face, and only his eyes and mouth were exposed, and it was impossible to judge his appearance.
The reason why Avi was worried was that the guards standing in the hall were detaining Queen Rosemand and Gronos, the two main culprits of Mallot's rebellion, who had been subdued by Evan's men, and King Byron had taken down the Queen's rebels in his bedchamber.
"Don't kneel down when you see the king?"
"I'm going to make sure it's my father. Bradley ignored Evan's words and instead took two steps towards the high platform of the hall.
King Byron opened his mouth, "Hmph, I'm your father!What?, do you want to arrest me as a rebel?" King Byron still had an impatient face, Avi didn't think that such a fat and short-tempered person was suitable to be the king of a big kingdom, "I didn't expect you to be the first person to come here, I was still looking forward to... The people who caused the chaos have been arrested, including the highest-ranking president here, Gronos, and Rosemund, who sleeps with me every day, but Heck's guy escaped so fast that my men couldn't catch up with him!"
Bradley glanced at Gronus and Rosemande, the former muttering something incessantly, while Rosemander's face was dead, like a soldier in despair and despair, an expression that was hard to disguise.
"The son is guilty," Bradley knelt down on one knee, "and let my father be deceived by traitors, and if I had discovered the conspiracy of the queen's faction earlier, all this rebellion would not have happened." ā
Byron waved his hand, and he stood up with the masked man's support, "I'm not interested in knowing about you, by the way, where's my Walter? where is he? Is he still fighting?" Bradley stopped talking, but he finally chose to nod slightly, "You guys put it aside, it's time to deal with her." Byron waved his hand, and the nurse who had appeared in the banquet hall had come out with a baby in her arms, and Avi guessed that the baby was Prince Vic, who had been born to Queen Rosemundre and Prince Amsoil under the auspices of her.
Queen Rosemund's head jerked up, her eyes full of tears, but her mouth was open and empty, only what she wanted to say, not what she said.
Byron took Vic, "Even Bradley said in the banquet hall that this is not my son, but my son's son..."
As soon as Rosemander saw Byron pick up Vic, she immediately cried out, "Don't! Don't hurt my child! That's your grandson, too! Don't hurt him! Please! Read it as husband and wife! Please, don't hurt him! Whatever you want to do with me! Please, don't hurt him..."
Rosemander's head kept kowtowing to Byron, and the sound of kowtowing was very loud, and in a few moments, Rosemande's blood was profuse, and even Bradley's subordinates couldn't stand it, and they couldn't stand a mother who was so distressed, even if she was the head of the Queen's faction.
Byron narrowed his eyes at Rosemund, and he shook his arms gently, "Yes, he is my grandson, and if Amsoil inherits my throne, then he will be the future king of the Kingdom of Salins... But his mother turned out to be the queen who shared my bed!" Byron's face changed, and he directly lifted the sleeping Prince Vic!
Rosemand was still kowtowing frantically to Byron, and she must have seen Byron's movements, but she had closed her eyes, and everyone present except her was watching Byron make this dangerous move. No one has the right to stop the king, even if the baby is innocent.
It was Bradley who stepped forward, "Father, Vic is innocent, no matter what he says, he is also your grandson, even if Rosemander has committed an unforgivable mistake..."
Then this is retribution. As soon as King Byron finished speaking, he threw down his hands and threw the baby to the ground!
The baby died before he could even make a cry from the violent collision of his head against the slate, and the loud crash left everyone in shock.
Vic's nurse couldn't hold back, and she immediately covered her mouth to keep her vomit from spitting up at the king's side. Rosemund, on the other hand, froze, slowly reaching out to pick up the lifeless newborn body, her own flesh and bones, but the guards behind her grabbed the rope from her body.
Bradley closed his eyes and sighed softly, and even Gadia Egsis and the others turned their faces sideways, not wanting to see the poor infant corpse, not wanting to see the ruthlessness and cruelty on King Byron's face.
Felisti stood behind Avi, and Avi couldn't help but care, "You don't want to see such a scene, do you..."
"No, I'm just keeping an eye on the roof," Felisty whispered, "The ghost of the academy seems to be here, and you don't have to worry too much, the baby who fell to death wasn't Vic, at least not the one in the banquet hall." Felisti's words surprised Avi, but even if it wasn't Vic, Avi couldn't agree with King Byron's approach.
Byron snorted coldly, "This is the only fate for those who betray me, and you will soon go down to accompany Amsoil and this bastard!"
Rosemander is no longer kowtowing, "Amsoil is dead... My child is dead... Is it really impossible for someone like me to get what he wants? It's so sad. ā
"Who do you say is pathetic?" Byron's eyes widened, as if he was dissatisfied with Rosemande's words.
Rosemander didn't respond to Byron, she suddenly broke free from the guards behind her, and slammed into a stone pillar with all her strength! Evan, who was not standing next to the queen, tried to stop the woman who begged for death as quickly as possible, but he was still a step too late, Rosemand had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and the third woman in Byron's life ended her short life.
King Byron seemed to have a hard time swallowing something, and if what Felisty said was right, then maybe Byron didn't want to see Rosemund's killed, he just wanted to torture Rosemander with a fake baby, make the other party suffer the pain of losing his own flesh and blood, and use the pain to avenge the woman who betrayed him.
Neither Gadia nor Eggsy dared to take it lightly, and even if Rosemander's fate was embarrassing, they were very vigilant - Walter was dead, and Byron did not know about it, and when the Queen's account was settled, it would be Bradley's turn.
Gronos raised his head and looked at the masked man, "You're all doing this, aren't you!?"
King Byron sat back in his place, like a deflated ball, and the masked man immediately responded: "Your Excellency, your greed has made you irreversible, so it is your greed that is playing tricks, I just reminded King Byron." Avi seems to have seen this strange man who uses "I" as a self-proclaimed person, and the other party's figure is a little impressed, but he can't be completely sure.
"I've always wondered why there are so many batches of guards around the king, and in the end someone is still plotting against us behind our backs, and it's really you and Evan's trickery..."
Byron didn't let the masked man continue to respond, "Gronos, I didn't trust you from the beginning, every move you and Rosemander made was right under my nose, even the traces of Amsoul's ambitions... Evan just protected me, and Reeves gave me the option to choose, I chose to give you a chance, and you still wanted to kill me... What a bunch of hateful guys! When you think I'm just a tiger dying of disease! That's when you're going to die!"
"Hahaha! If it weren't for Rosemund's decision that you were really seriously ill! I would have personally brought troops in to get your head! I didn't expect that your tiger was really pretending to be dead!"
Avi can probably understand the truth in Mallot's palace from the conversation between the two, it is indeed the queen's rebel party that was calculated by King Byron, who lives in the palace, perhaps only Byron's most trusted Evan knows that all this is just a cover-up, but why did King Byron do this?
