Chapter 348: Assassination (1)

When the night banquet ended, it was already late at night, Gustav watched Charon and his party leave, glanced at everyone in the hall, and then summoned the ministers and knights back to the palace to discuss important matters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

They were gone, but others remained, and they were led by some of Gustav's finest sons.

"Alius, my dear brother, your face is very unsightly, are you dissatisfied with this dinner?"

The handsome and noble man asked with a chuckle, breaking the silence, he was the second in line to the throne of the Flying Wing Kingdom, the second prince Victor, and many court nobles and officials had taken refuge in his banner.

And Alius, who was ridiculed by him, is the first in line to the throne and the leader chosen by the hardliners in the country. At a time when the kingdom was not in decline, this faction was huge, and the ascension of Aleus to the throne seemed to be a sure thing.

However, the kingdom has suffered successive defeats in recent years and is facing a dangerous threat, so the lord and faction have replaced them as the mainstream, and with Gustav's suppression, the scale of influence has become weaker and weaker, so that now Victor and other princes have the opportunity to covet the throne.

Alius closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but his anger was still uncontrollable, "Victor, can't I be dissatisfied when I see a strong enemy being offered as a guest?!" I know what you're thinking, but now is a time of crisis for the kingdom, can you stop and work together with me to turn the tide of the kingdom!"

said so righteously and awe-inspiringly, then the main credit in the end is not yours, where is the throne and what are they doing, Victor sneered in his heart, and did not pay attention to it.

Alius snorted, turned his head to look at the other two princes who remained, and found that they were also undeniable, and said in a cold voice: "The dignity of the Flying Wing Imperial Family has been lost to you!"

"Alius, don't you still understand the current situation, the kingdom simply does not have the strength to wage war, otherwise Your Majesty would not be so compromised. ”

Victor did not back down, and condemned in person: "You will only talk about fighting and fighting, have you considered the actual situation, there is no absolute strongman, the armament is backward, the material reserves are insufficient, the army and the people are tired of war, the three major dukes are eyeing each other, what qualifications do our Hawke royal family have now not bowed their heads, wake up!"

Seeing that Alius was about to erupt in anger again, Chuck, the seventh prince, coughed heavily, raised his hand and said, "I agree with Brother Victor's opinion, now that the kingdom's strength is unprecedentedly weakened, what is needed most is respite. Only during the dormant period can we vigorously introduce firearms with powerful lethality, eliminate the tumors of the internal system, reorganize and temper the army, and pile up a certain number of great knights and strong men. If you think I'm cowardly, Brother Alius, then I have nothing to say. ”

"Old Five, do you think that the United Del family is the best choice at the moment?"

"No, this matter is ridiculously wrong, the Del family is very ambitious and too strong, I think we should work with the three dukes to abandon the past and resist this foreign enemy together. ”

The words of the fifth prince Cherion lifted Alius's spirits at first, but he couldn't accept the rest of the content, in his opinion, the rebels should die, and what kind of cooperation should be discussed.

But it is undeniable that what these three people said makes sense, and the subordinates behind them have already hesitated, and he has lost the upper hand in this debate of different ideas, but he will not be so convinced.

"Either survive the painful torture and fly high, or die with dignity, insisting on these two choices is the pride of the eagle. ”

Before leaving, Alyus solemnly uttered the famous words of the Founding Knight to everyone and strutted away.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and saw the fluttering winged battle flags in a trance, but they would eventually come back to their senses, and the reality was bitter.

Victor had a gloomy look in his eyes, he couldn't damage the other party's fighting spirit, but instead achieved the other party's integrity, how embarrassed and gaffe, but he wanted to see if Alius could be so proud after tonight.

After several groups of people left one after another, in the huge hall, the exquisite porcelain plates were filled with leftovers, and the shadows were sparse under the transparent bright lights, and no one cared about them, which made people feel sad and lost in their hearts.

......

Accompanied by the court non-commissioned officer, Charon and his entourage took half an hour to arrive at the palace where they were sleeping, riding in a slow royal carriage.

More than two hundred other horsemen had arrived before noon to take over, inspect the environment and set up heavy guards, and the whole palace was now Torsean, except for a few powerless maids.

"Del-sama, do you have anything else to tell Mlink?"

The court sergeant who led the way asked for instructions, and after Bowen waved his arm, he said, "Then the next person will retire first, and I wish you all a pleasant night!"

The court non-commissioned officer drove away, first crossing the avenue in front of the palace, and then turning right to run to the carriage centralized management place, and when passing through the palace checkpoint halfway, one of the guards' eyelids jumped, secretly crushing the spar in his palm, and the faint fluctuations spread out at a certain frequency.

A little bit of crystal light spilled out of the darkness somewhere, and a pair of cold eyes opened, and the killing machine was obvious!

When walking in the corridor, Charon said calmly: "It's hard today, you go down and rest first." ”

"Do as you wish!" Bowen and the others saluted, and did not leave until Charon's back disappeared into the hallway.

The two young and beautiful maids followed behind Charon in a trembling manner, not daring to take a breath, and their steps were very light, after all, the status of the young man in front of him was comparable to that of His Majesty the Emperor.

The quiet corridor could hear the needles falling, and the maid felt that the familiar road seemed to be much longer at this time, and I don't know how long before the person in front of her stopped and asked, "Is this here?"

"It's... Yes, my lordship. The maid bowed her head nervously, and together with her companions, stepped forward and pushed open the bedroom door.

The eye catches the eye of the spacious reception hall with a ceiling lamp shining brightly, a strange and precious plant at intervals on the edge of the corner, and a full set of sofas and white jade tables in the center, white vases with pale blue snowflakes and rich fruits on porcelain plates.

On the west side are two-zhang high floor-to-ceiling windows, with sterling silver outlined in the glass, and you can detect the fluctuations of protective magic.

"I'm going to take a bath, so you can go down first. ”

Charon's sensing spread and he had probed the bathroom in the next bedroom, where red petals floated on the surface of the pool, and the heat was still bubbling hazy.

Such an order made the two maids stunned, and immediately said in a pleading tone: "My lord, please let us stay and serve you, we will definitely try to do our best, please believe us." ”

Charon naturally understood what it meant, but he didn't like this so-called aristocratic right, and shook his head lightly at the two red-cheeked maids, "You better go down, I don't need it." ”

"But, sir—" the two maids stopped talking.

"I will let my men account for the non-commissioned officers who run you, and you will not be blamed. ”

When she heard this, the maid retreated nervously, leaving Charon alone in the empty room.

He entered the inner bedroom from the outer hall and went directly to the bathroom in the northeast corner, where he opened the glass door and the unrestrained mist hit his face.

The gorgeous clothes he took off were thrown on the ground aside, he stepped into the pool, and the fragrant hot water contained him, he pondered the memory information peeked into from the sea of consciousness of the dancing woman, and the faces of the women flashed in front of him.

Gustav's proposal to marry surprised him, and he didn't have time to find a match, so he agreed.

However, although marriage is no longer a trivial matter for him now, he doesn't want to be too casual, so he learns about the character qualities of other princesses by peeking into the memories of Queen Bella, and now the candidate has been preliminarily determined, and the final decision can be made after two days of observation.
