In the aristocratic circle of Saint Solan, Anthony and his wife do not have too many friends because of their special status, but they also have no enemies. They rarely participate in the interests of Solan's aristocratic circle, and no one is willing to risk offending the Lanrith family to provoke them.

Normally, not to mention Watts and Barnes Sr., even when Donald meets, he must maintain three points of humility and seven points of harmony. Because of this, Prince Anthony and his wife do not have any special views on the people of the Donald family, and even have common interests in some things.

But now, as soon as they saw these two people, Anthony and Elizabeth were furious. In their opinion, the beloved daughter fell into the abyss, and in the final analysis, it is inseparable from these two people!

First of all, the original plan for the alien race was ostensibly the behavior of several families under the leadership of Scarlett, but in fact, it was Old Watts who was hiding behind the scenes who really presided over the matchmaking in the middle. As an elder, he has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.

Besides, the Bano family is also from his side.

The conflict that shook the empire on the night of Muni City occurred because the Bano family was eager to make quick gains and attacked the dwarven convoy by despicable means.

If only that's it. What angered the Anthonys the most was Barnes Sr.'s later series of performances that jumped up and down.

Originally, after the ransom was paid, according to the rules of the nobility, this matter was over. If the matter is resolved like this, then, even if Scarlett is unwilling, there is nothing to be done, normally, she should have returned to the imperial capital.

But it was because the old Barnes and Noble secretly insisted on hiring a dark executioner for revenge in order to avenge his dead son Bano Jr., which led to what happened later.

He was the one who opened the door!

If this reason were to be told to others, I am afraid that ninety-nine out of a hundred people would think that this is a strong argument. It's an out-and-out anger.

Not to mention that Scarlett and the others and the Bano family were invisible partners at the beginning, and they did not stop the Bano family from attacking the dwarf convoy, just saying that the old Bano later bought a murderer to assassinate Leo, it had nothing to do with Scarlett at all.

Scarlett went to the abyss, it was her own decision. In fact, if Elizabeth were asked now, I am afraid that even she would not understand why her daughter made such a decision. And more importantly, didn't even she hire the Blood Demon Hand to assassinate Leo?

However, for the Anthonys now, none of this matters.

In the course of their cooperation, these people failed to protect Scarlett, leaving her with the humiliation of the nightly defeat in Muni City. also because of their stupidity and bad luck, Scarlett, who was supposed to stay away from the strife, stepped into the whirlpool of the devil's trap and became a victim.

That's enough to make the Anthonys hate Watts and Barnes Sr.

"Stop!"

Elizabeth stomped her foot.

The convoy slowly stopped on the road. A huge carriage towed by two earth-walking dragons and dozens of heavily armed knights blocked the entire road.

Soon, the Watts and Barnes Sr. teams, which were approaching this side, also stopped. As if they had seen the coat of arms of Prince Anthony's family in front of the convoy, the two quickly got out of the carriage and walked towards this side, surrounded by several knights.

One of the prince's close guards opened the carriage door.

Elizabeth stepped out of the carriage.

"Her Royal Highness, Princess. Good day. "Wearing a silver wig and a thin build. Watts, who had a somewhat gloomy eagle-hooked nose, was slightly attached and greeted.

"Good day, Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth. Barnes & Noble Sr. didn't seem as respectful and sincere as Watts.

This fierce-looking and arrogant old man, although he also laughed with him, there was a faint trace of contempt and schadenfreude between his eyebrows.

Not long ago, the death of Barnes & Noble Jr. Let old Barnes and No. taste the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. For him, who has only one son, this is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in his life. Looking back now, he doesn't even know how he spent that time.

If you can still lick your wounds silently with the pain of losing a child, if you can still choose to ignore the cynicism of a hostile family. Then, after Scarlett, Richard and Oscar were captured, several families quickly chose to pay the ransom to compromise, which made Barnes and Noh Sr. angry.

Because, that means that these families will be completely freed from this common whirlpool. The words they signed on the agreement meant that they were acknowledging the defeat of the confrontation and promising not to pursue it again in the future, and not to be the enemy of that damn boy again.

For old Barnes, who paid the price of his son's life in this matter, this is a complete betrayal!

Therefore, when he saw Prince Anthony's motorvoy, old Barneau, who was sitting in the same carriage as Watts, actually laughed and leaned back and forth. Of course, he knew what Prince and Mrs. Anthony had rushed to the entrance of the abyss for. It made him feel incredibly happy.

It was only after getting out of the carriage that he put away his smile and made a humble and polite appearance. But even so, that touch of schadenfreude can't be wiped clean after all.

Facing the greetings of the two, Elizabeth nodded and asked indifferently, "What are the two of you?"

"We're also on our way to the entrance to the Abyss," Watts said respectfully, "I've heard that the situation isn't too good, and we need to make sure for ourselves." Your Royal Highness the Princess, you know, the Tomahawk Knights also went. ”

Watts didn't finish his words, but Elizabeth understood the implications.

The Tomahawk Knights have always been a formidable presence to be reckoned with among Donald's forces. It is precisely because of his mastery of three of the Empire's five top knight orders and more than half of the Frontier Legions that Donald was able to single-handedly cover the sky in the Solan Empire and compete with the orthodox royal family.

For many years, the Grand Duke of Renault had been loyal to Donald. Even if it is rumored that the death of his daughter Sara is inseparable from Donald, Renault never mentions it.

To outsiders, this is exactly what Renault is loyal to.

But in fact, for confidants like Donald and Watts, it's a sign of danger. Donald once took the initiative to bring up this matter in a conversation with Renault, trying to untie the knot, but Renault's attitude was respectful and respectful throughout, without showing any suspicion or dissatisfaction.

But the more this happened, the more Donald became wary of Renault.

Watts knew this, the nobles of the Donald family knew it, and the Archduke Renault naturally knew it. But for more than ten years, he has never explained, and has always maintained an attitude that he can't find a trace of fault on the surface, but people dare not think about it deeply.

In recent years, Renault's position among the Donald's aristocracy has become more and more delicate. Donald, on the other hand, simply planted his own men in the Tomahawk Knights.

Of course, this kind of thing is not something Donald would do himself.

The person who came forward was Watts.

In the same faction, it is extremely common for several subordinates to fight each other. For Donald, Watts can avoid giving people a ruthless attack, and for Watts, it is a good opportunity to suppress the Renault family and fight for a higher position.

Watts never minded giving Donald a knife. In fact, everyone knows that he is the most ferocious and bloody knife on Donald's side. Over the years, I don't know how much blood has been stained on his hands. And this is exactly the way of life of this kind of person.

This Abyssal Demon invasion in Lulian would not have gone if it were only Adolf's army resisting. However, when it comes to the Tomahawk Knights, then he must go.

Especially when he heard that the first line of defense had been breached, he would definitely prevent the Tomahawk Knights from suffering undeserved losses at the wrong time.

As for what would become of Lulian and the entire southern part of the empire, he didn't care at all. In this world, even if the sky falls, there is a tall person on top of it. Dealing with the invasion of the Abyss Demons, there are royalty, there are Holy See, there are imperial armies, and there are lords of the south.

And for him, it is important that what belongs to Donald must be pinched in his hands.

Looking at Watts, who had a humble face in front of her, a trace of disdain flashed in Elizabeth's eyes.

She nodded, and said lightly: "I have the same destination as the two of you." Why I'm going, you two must know very well, right?"

Watts' face froze.

And the face of the old Barneau, who was half-bowed, showed a hint of hidden schadenfreude.

But at this moment, with a snap, Elizabeth had already raised her hand and slapped old Barnese in the face. This slap was urgent, fast and ruthless, and Old Barnes was caught off guard, and his face was suddenly turned off.

When he came back to his senses, he covered his cheeks and was shocked and angry, and his old face completely changed, full of hideousness: "You ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by Watts.

"Your Highness," Watts said, with a gloomy expression, "I can understand your current feelings. However, what happened to Lord Scarlett is not to blame us. ”

"I don't care about that. All I know is that if it weren't for your stupidity, these things wouldn't have happened. It was a blind sight to ask Scarlett to work with you in the first place. Elizabeth turned around coldly: "If my daughter has any three longs and two shorts, I want your whole family to be buried together!"

Elizabeth's figure vanished as the carriage door closed.

At that moment, Watts and Barnes Sr. saw Prince Anthony, who had never shown up, with cold and cold eyes.

"Drive!"

The carriage began to move forward, and the knights of the guards around them rode their horses to follow.

Seeing the convoy go away, Old Barnes and Noble spat fiercely and scolded angrily: "This stinky **." She thought that she could be arrogant if she was a member of the Lanris family, this was Solan, not the Pompeii Empire......"

Watts waved his hand, interrupting Barnes Sr. Barneau's scolding.

"Do you think the most terrible man is Elizabeth?" he turned, gave old Barnes and Nao a deep look, and walked toward his carriage.

Old Barnes & Noble was stunned. Anthony's eyes immediately came to mind.

It was the first time in decades that he had seen such a gaze from the eyes of the artist-loving, mild-mannered prince. Suddenly, he shuddered...... (To be continued.) )
