Chapter 484: Auston's Death
Entering through the side door next to the gate of the emperor's dormitory, there is a brightly lit corridor, on the golden wallpaper on both sides of the corridor, hanging a whole row of oil paintings, the painting skills are exquisite and skillful, the content is mostly myths and legends, among which a short black-haired man often appears.

Lucia walked in front of Donner, walking briskly, occasionally smiling back.
"Is the man in this painting St. Peter?" asked Donner casually.
"Well," Lucia said, pointing to a painting, "You see, this painting is the whole family of St. Peter." ”
Donner looked at the painting, the overall style of the painting is very similar to the French painter Bougreau's "Nymph in the Forest and the God of the Forest", except that the composition is larger, there are more figures, and the black-haired man in the painting is surrounded by a dozen and a half ** in the middle, as if to pull him into a pond, and on the grass by the pond, there are angelic children running and playing.
"This guy, there are really so many women......" Donner shook his head and chuckled, and then asked, "Then what happened to their family?"
"It doesn't say anything in this holy text. Lucia said as she continued walking.
Donner suddenly realized that he had not been aware of this problem, Peter should have descendants, but where are those descendants now? Could it be some Helian family in the Magic Continent? But if so, there should be a record of it...... Or did Peter let the descendants go incognito in order to avoid the surveillance of the Jingwei?
What would I do if I were Peter?
Donner was immersed in the question when he suddenly heard the sound of Lucia talking to a strange woman on the side of the corridor.
"Oh...... Lucia...... You've finally come back, do you know how much His Majesty the Emperor misses you?"
Veronica...... You don't look the same, you're still beautiful. Lucia's voice sounded somewhat reluctant.
Donner turned his head to look at them, and he knew that the woman named Veronica had been Lucia's handmaiden and was now the queen of the Empire.
He noticed that there was nothing unusual around him, so he was a little relieved, and thought to himself: It turns out that Lucia can also lie, that woman is obviously swollen, where can she be called beautiful.
Donner looked at Veronica, and Veronica looked at him, but as soon as her eyes made contact, Veronica hurriedly looked away.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Donner's heart, he had deliberately restrained his mental strength, and Veronica was an ordinary person, who could not feel the magic element at all, so there was no reason to be afraid of him - if from a secular point of view, she could not be afraid of a duke with the dignity of an empress.
Did you really guess yourself?
He was in his confusion when he faintly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Donner secretly exclaimed, "Not good," and ran quickly towards Lucia.
"What's wrong?" Lucia looked at him in surprise, and Veronica froze even more in horror.
Before Donner could answer Lucia's question, the door at the other end of the corridor suddenly opened, and the maid who had just welcomed the two of them in shouted, "Duke Vane has defected...... His Majesty the Emperor has been assassinated!"
"Is it a trap?" Lucia was shocked, "My father, he?"
Donner couldn't help but take her hand and run towards the end of the corridor, but after only one step, he stopped, turned to look at Veronica, who suddenly changed from horror to calm—needless to say, she had become Donner's pet at this moment.
As Donner expected, Veronica didn't know it was a trap (otherwise she would have panicked even more), but from what she knew, Donner pieced together the truth in an instant.
Now that Veronica has become an important witness, Donner can only stay out of the shadows in order to protect her and Lucia's safety.
The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to explain it to Lucia, so he just shouted, "Adrien has rebelled!" and took Lucia's hand and continued to run towards the end of the corridor, with Veronica following closely behind them.
"What the hell is going on?" Lucia's tone had regained her composure after the initial shock.
"Veronica's child isn't your father's!" Donna shouted, hearing the sound of a bow and arrow breaking through the air behind him, and turned around and swung a fireball that flew out of Veronica, burning her left side of her waist and abdomen into a charred black patch, engulfing the rain of arrows and exploding across the corridor.
In the midst of a scream, the three of them rushed into the room at the end of the corridor, and when they closed the door, the sound of arrows sounded outside, but there was no shouting for killing, and no one tried to persuade them to surrender, and the purpose of the soldiers outside was very clear: to leave no one alive.
The wooden door rattled, and the smell of burning grease came through the cracks. It's rockets! The rebels want to burn down the entire dormitory!
"Father!" Lucia screamed.
In the room, Emperor Auston was lying on his back on the bed, his head and neck had been slit, and blood stained half of the sheets. Judging by the color of his blood, he had not been dead for a long time, but his neck had been almost completely severed, and no magic could have brought him back to life - the rebels had apparently taken into account the Emperor's divine grace.
"Is that you?" Lucia looked viciously at Veronica, who was mortally injured by Donner's fireball, but still stood by without a snort.
Lucia was so grief-stricken that she didn't realize her abnormality at all.
"It's not her, it's the maid just now. Donald replied on her behalf.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Lucia, crying.
Donner glanced at the bolted gate, anticipating that it would be a little while before the fire would spread, and glanced at Veronica, who immediately stated calmly: "I have always been Hoyle's lover, and it was Hoyle who brought me close to His Majesty the Emperor, and the child is Hoyle's. ”
Hoyle is the son of Prime Minister Adrien, and needless to say, this is mostly Adrien's handiwork.
"Why are you telling me?" asked Lucia, gritting her teeth.
"Remember when I told you about the pets, Veronica is my pet now. Donner answered her question.
"But why?!Why did you kill my father?!When he died, the throne would pass to that child, why are you so anxious?!" Lucia held Auston's corpse and stared at Veronica with her eyes.
Donner shook his head helplessly, "She doesn't know anything, Adrien is planning to kill her together." The child doesn't look like your father, and your father is already a little suspicious, and Veronica told Hoyle about it, and they were in such a hurry to do it. They designed to cause trouble in Quentin Province in order to lure me back with you and to blame us for your father's death. ”
He paused, then said in a deep voice, "I'll make them pay...... Enough price to pay!"
