It has been more than a month since the turmoil in the royal capital.

Zakif is a city not too far from Barrington, but its popularity is second only to the royal capital in Falkenridge.

This thriving metropolis is a major economic and cultural center of Falkenridge, founded more than two hundred years ago after one of the largest wars with the Duchy of Stassy. When rebuilding the city, the king positioned the city as a purely commercial city in order to develop the country's economy, and spared no expense in building various infrastructure in the city.

After two hundred years of development, it is now one of the most prosperous cities in Falkenridge and even in the south of the Western Continent. It can be said that if it weren't for Barrington's royal capital, Zakif's reputation would never be lower than that of Barrington!

It's late at night.

Under the stars, the gorgeous moonlight turned into a white horse, projecting into the city where there was almost no night.

In a bedroom warmed by the charcoal burning in the fireplace, a boy of fifteen or sixteen was sitting at a mahogany table, gently stirring a dark roast of royal coffee with a small silver spoon.

Wisps of invisible heat rose up along the rim of the cup as the spoon and the wall of the cup touched each other, and the mellow aroma of coffee overflowed with the white air, drifting past the exquisitely crafted, enamelled and glazed magic clock above the blood-colored tapestry engraved with interlaced cross-edged badges on the wall. The golden carvings of animals, the medieval paintings on the walls, the frescoes and crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, and finally the thin and straight through the window lattice, beyond the stained glass windows, climb the longitudinally divided arches and ribbed slender flying buttresses of the castle in the style of the old Falkenridge, and rise to the towers that stand like bones, and finally disperse to the top of the slender towers hidden in the cold.

Faintly, the chiming bell rang from a long distance.

The blonde-haired and blue-eyed boy was stunned, as if he had just noticed that it was early in the morning. He let go of the spoon and lost the desire to drink coffee all at once.

Even at this moment, Weiss still couldn't believe that he was already the king of a country.

The accident more than a month ago, he almost reminisced about it all the time, but the more he recalled, the more he could feel the gap between himself and the mysterious black dragon.

If between the changes in the royal capital, Weiss only thought that he was inferior to Ailuo in strength and the gap in wisdom was very small, then now he realized that he also had a suffocating gap with the other party in wisdom.

At least if it were his own, Vis believed that he would not dare to do that series of things in an almost desperate way, knowing that the vengeful knights in charge of picking up Enid could appear at any time......

The time was pushed back to more than a month ago.

"I've finally survived, hahaha......" After confirming that the black dragon and the silver dragon were gone, and that the huge barrier covering the city had completely disappeared, Enid couldn't help but laugh, without the demeanor of a princess.

But this is understandable, unlike Asa and Bella, Enid is a completely ordinary person, and the performance of the rest of her life after the catastrophe is naturally not elegant and noble.

In this way, as long as ten vengeful knights arrive, plus Stowe's strength, there will be no force in this country that can compete with itself!

What if that boy becomes king? I can force him to abdicate when the time comes. Anyway, with the support of Grand Duke Jon behind him, being a queen is simply a matter of being caught!

Before a thought could be finished, Enid's eyes suddenly went black, and then she lost all consciousness.

"What do you want to do!"

This shout was not only what Stowe meant, but also what Vis thought in his heart. His eyes widened as he saw that Enid's laughter was still in his throat, but Iroh took three steps and two steps, snatching the gadget used to summon the vengeful knight with one hand and snapping her head with the other.

Only Noele remained calm, and Iroh was the same as him in many places, believing that if it was him...... And it will do.

After all, this is already the last chance.

"Please greet Archduke Jon on behalf of Your Majesty," said Ielo in a casual salute to Stowe, who could do so at any moment, "Your Majesty believes that the two countries should be friendly for generations to come, and that the hatred of the past should be abandoned—and he himself is willing to set an example and recognize Archduke Jon as a brother." ”

"What does that mean?"

Stowe frowned, he didn't have as much thought as Bella, and he didn't react for a while.

Elloh smiled, "That is, Falkenridge is willing to attach himself to Stacy in the future." That's the biggest purpose of your visit, right?"

"Hmm......"

Stowe hesitated suddenly, before he came, Grand Duke Jon seemed to have said this to himself, and Enid was only second. But now Enid is dead......

"Her Royal Highness was killed by a killer trained by Hops and Duke Tuttle. ”

As if guessing Stowe's thoughts, Iroh said with a sincere and regretful expression, "It wasn't me who did it just now, someone used the shadow killing technique to control my actions. ”

"Huh?"

Stowe was still suspicious, he hadn't noticed any killer aura just now, but Iroh didn't look like a fake.

"I can attest to it. Noelé stood up at the right time and said in a professional tone, "Shadow Killing is a combination of illusion magic and martial arts, and your lordship is not proficient in magic, so you are not aware of it. But I can be sure that someone did control Count Ello just now. ”

"As the new king's magical advisor, I believe that the killer with this high-level shadow killing technique must belong to the two dukes. ”

"Is that so?"

Stowe muttered quietly, but seemed to believe seven or eight points. Of course, this is due to the fact that his IQ is slightly lower than that of ordinary people, and of course, it cannot be ignored that Iroh and Noele sing and harmonize.

But the most important thing is that Enid is not the primary target of Grand Duke Jon, which Jon had repeatedly told Stowe before he came, as long as he could indirectly control Falkenridge, everything would be fine.

Now it seems that Stowe still misinterprets what Archduke Jon meant, such as interpreting everything other than the primary goal as "unimportant". He knew he was stupid, so he didn't want to think about it, as long as he was sure that the most important thing was done, it would be enough to make a big deal for Jon.

Of course, if it's a matter of revenge for Enid, you should still do it.

"I see, it's the two dukes' men, right?"

Thinking of this, Stowe nodded, he also knew what they had ruined a good country, and he had already wanted to kill those two scum with an upright personality. This is just right, and it was solved together.

At this moment, ten vengeful knights also rushed behind him, so he waved his hand, "I'll kill them and avenge the princess!"

As he spoke, he didn't even talk to Iroh anymore, and jumped up with ten vengeful knights, and disappeared between the ruins in a few dodges, leaving only the two humanoid dragons who looked at each other and smiled stupidly.

"Go, Your Majesty. ”

Iroh turned his head and patted Vess's shoulder gently, which made the latter tremble slightly-sure enough, the psychological shadow at the beginning was too deep, even if he knew that Iroh had already used isotopes to stabilize himself with the ability to temporarily immune to nuclear radiation, Vis still looked like he was concerned.

Vis was still a little at a loss, and didn't react to Iroh's meaning for a while, but saw that the two of them had returned to their previous appearance, and respectfully half-knelt down.

At this moment, Ello's voice sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty, your future road will be very exciting." ”

Vis couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and at this time Iroh's head was half-bowed, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. But he didn't know why, but Vis clearly felt that there was a playful and deep smile on Iroh's face at the moment.

In the main hall of the palace, which had become almost like a ruin, Hopps was angrily cursing a guard.

The reason is very simple, it is just to see that he is not happy.

Of course, if you want to trace the deeper reason, you have to mention the death of the eldest prince he received not long ago.

"The prince's corpse ......?!"

Looking at Duke Hoppers, whose face was full of shock, the guards who went to investigate the situation nodded again and again.

"Yes, sir. We have just checked the situation near the Legacy Temple and found the mangled body of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

For a moment, not only Hopps gasped, but even the more calm Tuttle's face changed drastically.

The death of the prince meant that their plan to completely manipulate the country by controlling the king was completely shattered......

Moreover, Bella should have gone to the temple before. Now that Asaph is dead, can it be said that ...... Bella became queen?

In that case, it would be over, and it would be impossible for Bella to let them go, let alone at such a time when their vitality was greatly damaged!

Unless it's not Bella who becomes the queen, but Enid, then he still has a chance to live-

"What kind of duke are you?"

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Who are you—ah!"

Hoppes looked up angrily, and was about to see who dared to touch his moldy head at this time, when his gaze came into contact with a man with a cold expression.

Isn't this man the legendary powerhouse Stowe who followed Enid before?

A flash of joy flashed across Hopus's face, as if Enid had indeed become a queen.

Then, as long as you find a way to please Enid, there is still a possibility of starting over......

However, before Hoppes could say his flattering words, Stowe's cold words extinguished the last hope in his heart.

"Seems to be right. Stowe raised his left hand, "Go to hell and confess to Princess Enid!"

As soon as the words fell, ten vengeful knights who could match the legendary powerhouse swarmed up!
