Elizabeth walked through the silent hallway towards the study.

She wore a goose-yellow dress with a sky-blue embroidered blouse, a slightly raised chin and a neatly combed bun, making the imperial princess look as calm and elegant as ever.

Thirty meters from the closed study door, two valet and two guards stopped. I watched Elizabeth walk alone to the study.

This is the rule of the Prince's Palace.

Except for Prince Anthony, Princess Elizabeth, and Lord Scarlett, even the most confidant guards and butlers were not allowed to go one step close to the study.

Elizabeth pushed the door open.

Anthony's long body stands in front of the sun-drenched floor-to-ceiling windows, like a sculpture.

"Ralph is already in Lulian," Elizabeth poured a glass of wine, walked over to Anthony, and handed it to him, "Scarlett will be back in three days at the latest." ”

Anthony took the glass, his blue eyes silently looking out the window at the garden.

"When Scarlett comes back, we'll be able to do it. Elizabeth grabbed his arm and said softly, "This time, we must make those fellows in the South pay!"

"The price?" Anthony turned his head to focus on his wife's face, "I'm not against revenge, but are you sure it's going to be at this time?" Elizabeth met his gaze without flinching and raised her eyebrows, "Of course!

She sneered, "Don't forget, my dear, it's not the first time these southern hillbillies have offended us. Originally, I thought that the little bastard named Roy would die and Adolf would become a little smarter, but I didn't expect that he would choose to be our enemy for the sake of a mercenary......"

"But don't forget the situation!" Anthony interrupted Elizabeth, "no one will be on our side. For the major families, the demon clan is the most deadly threat!"

"Besides. In this matter, we can't grasp Adolf's handle, it is the Bano family who has messed up. You think. My dear brother and the princes and ministers will let us go to Adolf's trouble?"

"I don't think it has anything to do with them!" said Elizabeth. His face grew colder, "If they're not afraid of getting themselves in trouble, they can stop me from trying." ”

The woman's paranoia gave Anthony a bit of a headache. With a gloomy face, he turned and walked over to his desk, throwing himself into the shadows of the high-backed chair.

A hundred years ago, when the Grand Duke of Solan founded the country, he set an iron rule that the prince should not interfere in politics, and at the same time imposed strict restrictions on the prince's territory and the size of the army. Arguably. The power that Anthony himself can control is far from matching his noble status. Not to mention the giants of the four major families, even the tyrants like the Bano family are stronger than him.

Luckily, his wife was born into the Langrith family, and she wielded enough power to make anyone keep him in awe.

Just like last time, in order to avenge Scarlett's humiliation in Lulian, Elizabeth directly mobilized several families related to Lanris, and hundreds of knights marched south, forcing the heraldic officer of the heraldic court to come to the door in person to make concessions. Allow the Lanris family to send people into Solan and challenge them south.

If it weren't for the fact that Schilling was so imbecile, it would have been a resounding slap and warning from Elizabeth to those who offended her.

But. Such a power is also a misfortune for Anthony.

Anthony knew better than anyone the ambitions of his wife's father and her brothers and nephews. It is also clear better than anyone that the wife's maintenance of her mother's family and the arrogance and stubbornness in her nature.

This has even been affected by the influence of the daughter Scarlett.

Scarlett has a typical Lanreis personality and temperament, self-centered, domineering, domineering, and even arrogant.

They never looked down on anyone else. In their eyes. Only the Lanris family can be called a true nobleman, and only the blood of the Lanris family. is the most noble.

Anthony didn't know how to reason with Elizabeth. Although he was equally annoyed by the fact that he was born in the South, at this juncture. He knew better that his rash actions were likely to lead to public outrage. This is fatal for any family.

Moreover, he also knew the attitude of the principalities of Saxony and Sinasiria in this matter.

Although on the surface, these two principalities should be the same enemy as their own, in fact, they are both southern nobles of the empire, and they are natural allies in the interests of the south. Even if their relationship is not too harmonious, it will not turn their faces.

Especially at the moment of the demon invasion, the noble lords from all over the empire will lead the army to join the Solan coalition army convened by Edward. At this time, the infighting will greatly reduce the voice of the southern aristocratic groups.

It's not good for Saxony and Sinasir!

Therefore, Anthony is sure that the choice of the principalities of Saxony and Sinasiria now will be to pay the ransom, write down the account, and then remain silent.

Even when they joined forces, one could not expect to see any dissatisfaction with Adolf on the faces of Archduke Feynman and Archduke Costa. They would hug like old friends, talk and laugh, stay together all day, and advance and retreat together in military meetings.

This is the reality, and compared to a prince who is rooted in the imperial capital and married the youngest daughter of the Lanris family, he is more like an outsider.

So, in any way, Anthony didn't want to make trouble for himself at this time. However, he also knew that none of this would convince Elizabeth - especially if Fred died at the hands of the other party.

Fred grew up watching Elizabeth, her personal bodyguard, housekeeper, and the largest dowry Nishizawa gave when she got married.

Anthony still remembers the shocked and awe-struck eyes of the guests at his and Elizabeth's wedding. No one thought that such a strong man would be willing to commit himself to a servant and accompany Elizabeth to marry Solan as a housekeeper.

Elizabeth relied on Fred, who was not only a housekeeper but also a confidant. Anthony even believed. There are many things that Elizabeth may have hidden from herself, but only to Fred. There are no secrets.

That strange and cold old man was not only her shield. Or her sword, her hands, her ears and her eyes.

When the news of Fred's murder came, Anthony saw his wife's face so horrible for the first time.

It was a cold, biting iron blue. It is a color that is sad to the extreme, but also angry to the extreme.

Although after that, none of the hundreds of people in the whole house except himself saw Elizabeth show any unusual feelings, but Anthony knew. She's not going to give up!

Whether it's for Scarlett or Fred, she wants the mercenary named Leo to die. At the same time, because of Fred's identity, this is obviously also the will of the Langrith family.

After being silent for a while, Anthony sighed and said slowly: "I got the news that Watts has arrived in Lulian. ”

"The old fox. Elizabeth frowned.

Anthony nodded and said, "This time to unite the Barnes, Saxony and Renault families, it is Watts' role in the middle. This incident, from a certain point of view, was actually a slap in the face. ”...

"What does he want to do?" asked Elizabeth.

"Barnes & Noble Sr. has already met with him. Anthony's fingers tapped on the table. "Because he has been warned by Moya, old Barnes and Noble will not do it himself. He needs a surrogate. ”

"You mean. Elizabeth pondered, "Watts is this agent?"

"Watts was Donald's confidant, and he had a reputation for being treacherous and ruthless," Anthony said, "and he's done a lot of dirty work for Donald over the years." It can be said that Donald's unseen power is all in his hands. Therefore......"

Anthony didn't finish his sentence. But Elizabeth had understood exactly what he meant.

"So, the guy named Leo is dead. Elizabeth said.

Anthony nodded.

Elizabeth frowned. After pacing back and forth a few steps, he said, "You tell me what you mean." It's ......"

"Wait and see. Anthony said simply, "Since that kid is going to die, why should we get into trouble?"

"But in case ......," said Elizabeth, "you know, those who like to hide in the shadows are not so reliable. Besides, even Fred accidentally died at the hands of that kid. How capable are they?"

"They're the experts at that. Anthony smiled slightly, shook the wine that Elizabeth handed him just now, and said lightly, "If they want to kill me, it is likely that they will turn this glass of wine into a cup of poisonous wine without realizing it, and you personally handed it to me." ”

As he spoke, Anthony glanced behind Elizabeth: "Perhaps, there will be someone standing behind you right now." ”

A gust of wind passed through the window, and Elizabeth suddenly felt a chill in her waistcoat.

She couldn't help but glance back.

Although her vision was just empty, she still felt creepy and pale when she remembered some terrible legends she had heard before.

After a pause, Elizabeth said, "Who will Watts let go?"

"I don't know," Anthony said, "but it has always been rumored that Watts has at least five large mercenary groups and a dozen large and small bandit groups and dark mercenary groups in his hands. Half of the killers who are worthy of the name are at his command. ”

"The same is true in the South?" asked Elizabeth.

Anthony nodded: "Donald's infiltration of the South has been going on for many years. If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that Watts used this time was a killer organization called the Black Executioners. In the killer world, this organization is a big name. ”

"I've heard of it. Elizabeth's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

The Dark Executioner, is a name that is only circulated among the underworld and the nobility. However, the name can definitely be associated with words like terrifying and powerful.

While still in Lanris, Elizabeth had heard rumors of the Dark Executioners.

It is said that among the people who died at the hands of this organization, there were at least three Sacred Domain powerhouses. Among them was a fiveth-order paladin named Castec ten years ago.

This paladin killed more than thirty killers of the Dark Executioner, but in the end, he died. When he died, he didn't have a good piece of meat on his body. His eyes were blinded, his bones were shattered, and he had more than 200 wounds on his body. And he was poisoned.

That tragedy shocked the entire Big 6.

For a whole month, the conversation of the nobility and the underworld was all about the death of Castec.

And in her mother's house, Elizabeth once heard her uncles in the Holy Domain admit that such a strong man, on the battlefield, can deal with a knight order alone. Even if the Lanreis family wanted to kill him, they would pay a big price. But he died at the hands of a group of assassins. It's really creepy.

This impressed Elizabeth.

If Watts really sent a black executioner, then it seemed that there was no other benefit to doing it himself, except to cause trouble for her husband.

"Well," said Elizabeth, "I see what you mean. I can wait until things come to an end. ”

Anthony nodded, a small smile on his face.

Elizabeth walked towards the door, and before leaving, she suddenly asked, "I heard that there is a dark mercenary group called the Blood Demon Hand, which seems to be as famous as the Dark Executioners?"

Anthony nodded and asked, "What?"

"I think," Elizabeth said in a cold voice, as she opened the door, "and that doesn't prevent me from spending some money on an insurance policy." I want him to die, and no accidents will be allowed!" ...... b
