Chapter 310: The Commander Behind the Scenes

As soon as these words came out, the queen on the side almost fainted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The king hurriedly held her up, then turned his head and looked coldly at the maid who was sobbing on the ground, her voice as low as magma in the leylines.

"What the hell is going on?"

The maid was shaken by the shock, but she was much more sober. She wiped her tears, got up from the ground, and after saluting, she said, "Yes, that's right...... Her Royal Highness the Princess's cat was missing, so I helped her find it. However, when I returned to my room with the cat in my arms, I saw a dark figure rushing out of the room. I was startled and hurriedly ran into the room, but Her Royal Highness was gone. ”

The king immediately asked, "Is that what happened just now?"

The maid nodded and said, "As soon as something happens, I—I'll come over to report it immediately." ”

Suddenly, the expressions of several people present changed slightly.

If the maid was right, then while the dining room was in darkness and the Assassins assassinated the king, someone else hid in the palace and took advantage of the moment to rush out and rob the princess.

In other words, the assassins who assassinated the king are likely to be just a trick, and the princess is their real purpose.

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He didn't quite understand who was in charge of it all, but it was certainly a plan that had been in the works for a long time. From assassinating kings to kidnapping princesses, only those who are very familiar with the palace can do it.

"I'm sorry, but the good dinner has become like this. The king took a deep breath, turned his head, and said to Benjamin and Aldrich, "I'll have to lose company first." ”

So saying, he turned and made a gesture for General Barrett to follow, as if he was preparing to raise an army and get the princess back.

"Wait, Your Majesty. Aldrich immediately spoke, "The person who attacked this place just now also used magic, and there must be magic power involved in this." I'll stay with Your Majesty, just in case. ”

The king thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Hmm...... In this case, I will ask Mage Aldrich to protect me. Also, Master Benjamin, the help just now is admirable, and it is very sufficient. For the rest, I don't have to bother you. ”

Benjamin heard this, but hesitated.

He had also planned to step up with Aldrich and help rescue the little princess. It's just that the system suddenly opened his mouth and said a few words in his heart, which made him suddenly hesitate again.

That little girl had a relationship with him, and he didn't want to let her be taken away.

But......

"Well, Your Majesty, I will protect you. You can see that, even in the dark, I can still see where the enemy is. Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly made a decision and said, "Master Aldrich, it would be more efficient for you to contact the Mage Freemasons and ask them to help search for the guy who captured Her Majesty the Princess." ”

"This ......," Aldrich hesitated, as if he was not comfortable leaving the king under Benjamin's protection.

"It's okay, you go and contact the people of the Mage Freemasonry, Master Benjamin can protect me. But the king looked at Benjamin twice, and suddenly spoke, and said.

Suddenly, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

And the king has already spoken, Aldrich naturally will not object any further.

“...... Since His Majesty has said so, well. He nodded, turned away, and walked out of the palace.

As for Benjamin, he bowed his head and followed behind the king who was eager to save his daughter, and walked in the other direction with many other guards and generals who had gathered around.

On the road.

"Are you really not mistaken?" asked Benjamin in his heart, with suspicion in his heart, to the system.

"Of course not, when did I ever make a mistake with this kind of thing. The system snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "The face you sensed behind the Assassin's mask is exactly the same one of the mercenaries you sensed today in that secret little room of the Mage Freemasonry." ”

"Are you sure?" said Benjamin.

"I'm sure. The system added, "Don't say it's a face, even the body shape is the same." Didn't you see it yourself? Why don't you remember it now?"

Benjamin shook his head when he heard this, but he could only let out a wry smile in his heart.

Oh, yes...... What he saw himself, he still had some impressions.

It's just that the facts behind it are too scary, and the implications are huge, so he has to confirm it again and again, and the stunned in his heart is difficult to eliminate.

However, after repeated confirmation during this period of time, he gradually digested this fact.

The Assassin who had just assassinated the King in the dining room had appeared this afternoon in a small room where Masonic Freemasonry "no outsiders were allowed", and was listening to a bald mage lecture along with some other mercenaries.

What does this mean?

The leader behind the series of events that just happened was actually Aldrich, who was eating at the same table with them - the mage Freemasonry he led!

How ironic......

At the dinner table, the king praised Aldrich and his mage Freemasons, saying that they were the cornerstone of the country and the heroes of history. As a result, the Masonic Monks sent men to assassinate the king and kidnap the princess.

Fortunately, Benjamin has experienced a lot of things, and his mental quality has been trained, otherwise, his head must be full of cold sweat at the moment.

This water is so fucking deep!

It is precisely for this reason that Benjamin has just been in the restaurant and has proposed his own protection of the king. Seriously, what would happen next if Aldrich was the one to protect the king?

Freden doesn't need a state funeral.

Benjamin didn't really want to get involved in this complicated fight. It's just that he doesn't know what the purpose behind the mage Freemasonry is. Did they want to usurp the throne? Aldrich himself at the pinnacle of power? Or was there someone behind them?

Benjamin didn't know all of this yet, but he felt that Fredden was doing well right now.

Under the rule of this king, the situation is relatively stable, and he can lead those mages under his command to grow and develop step by step. But once the political landscape changes, no one knows whether they will be able to continue to develop steadily.

They've only been settled in Riley City for so long, who wants to be on the run right away?

Therefore, even if Benjamin is no longer willing to get into trouble, he can only stand up and volunteer to protect the king, so that Aldrich and the king may enter a state of solitude.

In this way, while thinking about the power behind the matter, he followed the king, and after a few minutes came to a place that resembled a council chamber.

And in the conference hall, many officials have gathered.

Benjamin even saw Mikel and Lance Knights.

Of course, seeing that Benjamin actually appeared with the king, the expressions on the faces of Mikel and Lance were also a little confused.

"An immediate announcement was issued to temporarily lock down the entire city of Sherdy. The king stood on the edge of the throne and said coldly, "Knight Captain Reims, you have set up an ambush around the city with a thousand soldiers, and you must keep an eye on everyone who haunts the neighborhood, and do not let the kidnappers of the princess get out." ”

"Yes!" Lance saluted, turned around, and immediately went into action.

"General Barrett, you take three thousand soldiers and conduct a search in the city......"

"Mikel, you go to the city to search for relevant news......"

In this way, one by one, the king gave orders and arranged things to find the princess. And Benjamin, as a bodyguard, stayed on the side, but his heart became more and more entangled.

He hasn't made a real decision yet.

Finally...... Do you want to tell the king about the betrayal of the Masonic Monks?
