Chapter 568: Who Did It? (3)
Bloody Kapok Mound, westerly position.
In a castle with white mica flakes on the façade and as white as snow, Conrad's wife, Elizabeth, is sitting on the spacious windowsill of the tallest tower, holding a glass of red wine, looking out at the smoky core of the imperial capital in the distance.
"Oh, well done, little girl." Elizabeth smiled brightly, her long golden hair was as long as a waterfall, and her azure eyes flashed with a vague glow, at this moment, she was very beautiful, very charming, and had the charm of a kraken.
A middle-aged man with the same blond hair and blue eyes, tall and straight, quite handsome in appearance, and elegant temperament, wearing a formal set of small dresses in the style of the Ice Sea Kingdom, with white silk gloves on his hands, hands behind his back, and his feet slightly apart, stood silently in the corner of the tower, like a loyal old dog, looking at Elizabeth with great respect.
Henry Thur Smith, Elizabeth's butler, is also her number one confidant.
Elizabeth married from the Ice Sea Kingdom to the Delen Empire, and married with more than 3,000 maids, attendants, guards, handymen, and all kinds of professional craftsmen, including specialized jewelers, leather goods, bakers, and barbecuers.
Butler Henry, the chief steward of the three thousand men, coordinated all their work, and his ultimate duty was to make Elizabeth comfortable and decent in the Deren Empire.
Of course, as a princess who marries far away, her identity and responsibilities are certainly not just to become Conrad's wife, not just a tool for giving birth to children, and not just a symbol of marriage and alliance between the Ice Sea Kingdom and the Delen Empire.
She is more like, the second ambassador of the Ice Sea Kingdom to the Delun Empire.
Around her, there is a capable intelligence force, an elite assassination force, and some extremely special professionals.
These people are also under the rule of Henry's steward.
Elizabeth had a lot of minor troubles, all of which were easily solved by Henry's butler.
For example, five years ago, Conrad fell in love with a ballerina, secretly bought a mansion for her, and gave birth to a 'crystallization of love' with her!
It was under the control of Henry's butler that the pregnant ballerina had an affair with a handsome poet, but was caught by Conrad. Enraged, Conrad killed the poor lovers with his own hands, scattered their ashes into the swamp, and wiped out their families with him!
"A little marquis." Elizabeth took a sip of the blood-red wine and muttered in a low voice, "Dear Henry, let those friends in the Supervision Department carry out his charges as quickly as possible...... My Magnum has been sent to Fort Hydrera, so let me send him to the deserted island of the Icy Sea to the north. ”
Henry smiled and nodded slightly: "As you wish, Your Highness, he will definitely be sent to the most remote desert island in the North Ice Sea, the closest desert island to the North Continent Snow Continent." ”
Elizabeth shook her glass softly, and said softly, "Then let's do it...... It's just a pity that he survived after making such a big fuss yesterday. Do you say, is he lucky, or is he very strong? ”
Henry bowed his head slightly: "It's just a nouveau riche in the countryside, whether he is lucky or strong, in front of your will, he and his family are as vulnerable as ants." ”
Elizabeth laughed, she slowly stood up, and threw the red wine out the window.
She jumped off the windowsill lightly and said lightly: "Go ahead, since you can't kill him, let him live a more miserable life...... Kill him again. When we get to the north, no one can save him, so we just need to concoct it slowly. ”
Humming softly, Elizabeth suddenly 'poofed' and laughed.
"Send a letter to Margo and tell him that the Palace of Apophis has been completely destroyed." Elizabeth smugly hummed a tune: "If it weren't for his betrayal, Magnum wouldn't have been sent to the Swamp...... This insidious and despicable little bastard, first let him know what heartache is, and then ......"
Elizabeth giggled, she danced lightly in place, and said lightly: "I want to take a good bath, and then, take a little rest, wake me up on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, I made an appointment with the Duchess of Beihai to give ......"
'Boom'!
A loud bang was heard.
The castle was made of a foot-thick oak wood, and the gates, reinforced with steel plates, were violently shattered.
A large group of court knights poured in like a tide, and a dozen of Elizabeth's guard knights greeted them with great vigour, and before they could open their mouths to question, those court knights had already swarmed up and beat a dozen of the guard knights to the ground.
Elizabeth and Henry ran to the tower window at the same time, poked their heads out and looked out into the courtyard below.
Brigades of court knights rushed in, and they quickly took control of the entire castle.
Not only inside the castle, but also in the bloody kapok forest outside the castle, there were also large iron-gray figures shaking. Low in the air, three medium-sized war airships roared past, and the fierce wind brought up the snow of the bloody kapok forest into a large white snow dance.
"You guys, bold!" Henry pointed to the court knights below and roared loudly: "This is Prince Conrad's estate, and this is Princess Elizabeth's villa, how dare you!" ”
"This is trespassing! This is a rebellion! This is a rebellion! Henry roared hoarsely, "What do you want to do to the noble Imperial Royals?" ”
Several court officials strode into the castle with gloomy faces.
They looked up at Elizabeth and Henry in the tower, and a court official shook his head slightly: "Honorable Highness, in the name of the Empire!" ”
Ten minutes later, Elizabeth and Henry walked out of the castle and into the courtyard.
The castle was not large, and the tower was only six stories high, and at a normal rate, in two or three minutes, they would be enough to descend from the tower. But Elizabeth and Henry deliberately slowed down, and as they went downstairs, they racked their brains to discuss what was going on!
With a gloomy face, she walked out of the castle and stood on the steps of the doorway, looking down on the court officials and court knights in the courtyard.
"Is this a rebellion? Or, is it an even more terrible, filthy royal strife? Elizabeth's tone was very harsh, and what she said was even more sensational.
"No, Your Highness, there is no rebellion, and there is no ...... Anything you say, that terrible crime. A court official owed a debt to Elizabeth: "We are only on order, arrest your butler, Henry T. Smith!" ”
Elizabeth's pupils contracted.
Butler Henry raised his eyebrows, as a professional butler from a family who has served the royal family of the Ice Sea Kingdom for generations, Butler Henry's professionalism is vividly displayed at this moment.
He was still personable, still elegant and modest, and he nodded to the court official very calmly: "I'm very sorry for the trouble that caused my master because of me." ”
With a very graceful smile, Butler Henry walked down the steps and stretched out his hands: "Then, arrest me, but please don't destroy every plant or tree here...... And, please leave here as fast as possible and do not interfere with the normal life of my master. ”
Elizabeth grimaced and shouted, "Shut up, Henry, no one can take you away from here. ”
She walked down the steps step by step, and walked directly in front of several palace officials, wide-eyed, vicious, and cold as a knife, sweeping the faces of these court officials one by one.
"Henry, is my butler, and he also has the status of a court nobleman in the Ice Sea Kingdom. I'm curious, who issued the warrant? Who dares to do this? The Department of Police? Ministry of Supervision? Oh no, they don't have that power! ”
"Dogs are not allowed to bite their owners. The Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Supervision, they have no power to act against members of the royal family or their vassal nobles. ”
"Imperial House of Lords? Nor do they have such authority...... They are only responsible for managing the affairs of the nobility of the empire, and they themselves do not have any law enforcement power over the nobles of the empire! ”
"My husband? He wouldn't do that. ”
"My husband's brother? He will order you to break into my dwelling and arrest my people? No, he wouldn't. ”
"I'm sure my husband's brother, he's not ready to tear his face off. If he wants to sit in that position, he definitely doesn't want to bear the notoriety of bullying his brother and daughter-in-law! ”
"So, Your Highness Ferdinand, my father in the legal sense, will he be in the mood to make things difficult for me?"
Elizabeth tilted her head and laughed, "He's definitely not going to do that." ”
"So, is it His Highness Mata who has an opinion about me? Still is...... Her Majesty, who has always been full of resentment about my union with Conrad, is finally tempted to attack me? ”
The faces of the court officials standing in front of Elizabeth became extremely strange.
Elizabeth's words, many of which are a bit of a big contradiction.
Especially, about the evaluation of the Empress of the Empire...... Well, Elizabeth is Conrad's second wife, and she can be seen as a third party who intervened and ruined the relationship between Conrad and his first wife, and in the end Conrad and his first wife 'broke up peacefully', Elizabeth and Conrad were united, and Magnum was born!
All the officials and nobles of the Hydra Palace knew that Margrethe III had a very bad sense of Elizabeth, and even Elizabeth and Conrad had been married for so many years, and Margrethe III had not even met Elizabeth once!
But this royal secret, you can do...... But to say it in public, it shouldn't be!
At this moment, not only these court officials, but also many court knights present, were eager to pull out their knives and cut out Elizabeth's tongue - please, can you shut up and stop talking nonsense?
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but it was the Marquis of Lower Rockson, Your Excellency Joe von Wittu who ordered the arrest of Your Excellency Henry!"
Several court officials bowed deeply to Elizabeth at the same time.
Elizabeth and Henry looked extremely confused at the same time, and they looked at the court officials who bowed deeply like fools, and it was a long time before Elizabeth let out a high-pitched, incredulous roar.
"That fat-headed, big-eared idiot?"
"Why?"
"Why should he order you to arrest my people?"
Several palace officials straightened up, and with a subtle wry smile, they said in unison: "Your Excellency Joe von Wittu, at this moment, you have mastered the killing of the Zhenguo artifact Heringer...... He has the right to mobilize all the forces of the empire, issue all orders, and realize all his intentions! ”
