The flames engulfed Emperor Auston's bedchamber and spread throughout the palace, scarlet flames licking like the tongue of the devil, and the gilded wallpaper curled and peeled off the always solemn face of St. Peter in the oil painting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

By the walls of the palace, in the gardens, on the spiral staircase, outside the flower-filled corridor, the maids and concubines fled barefoot with the corners of their nightdresses, and then were invariably drowned by the fire.

Amid the screams and cries, countless soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, and the greased-soaked rockets continued to shoot like meteor showers across the starry sky and fall towards the Faimon Palace, which had been glorious for more than 600 years.

Flames rose, smoke rose everywhere, and the jade was scorched black, making an astonishing popping sound in the scorching air.

The whole of Coenas was awakened from their slumber, and people took to the streets, either stunned or bewildered to look at the burning Faimon Palace and the scarlet-dyed sky.

More soldiers and knights flocked in the direction of the palace, and horses galloped through the long streets, the sound of horses' hooves and armor grinding like a drum beat in people's hearts.

......

Mino ran through the chaotic square in front of the palace and faintly heard someone shouting in front of him: "Duke of Venne has rebelled...... Emperor Auston was assassinated ......"

He only felt his brain buzz, and all the sounds around him receded like a tide, and the next second, a voice in his heart was shouting: No!

"Impossible!" he shouted, shouting as he pushed aside the soldiers in front of him and squeezed in the direction of the palace.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who is it!?Who is in charge here?!"

Mino immediately leaned in the direction of the voice, "Dean Kane! Is it Dean Kane?"

A whole column of hundreds of heavily armed knights broke through the chaos of soldiers and came to Mino, the first of whom was Kane, the head of the Imperial Knight Academy.

"Mino, what the hell is going on?!" Kane asked aloud, his face bruised, obviously anxious.

"I don't know! I just got here! They said that Donner had betrayed and assassinated His Majesty! But it couldn't be!!" Mino had to be loud to drown out the noise of people all around.

Dean Kane shouted, "Follow me!" and with his legs between the horse's belly, he galloped towards the sea of fire, and in the direction he was going, the soldiers who couldn't dodge were knocked out one after another.

Mino's gallop and snatch a horse from a strange knight, following closely behind Kane.

Kane ran all the way and shouted all the way: "Put down the bow and arrows!"

No one paid any attention to him.

The closer you get to the palace gate, the more people you can hear shouting: "Duke of Vane has rebelled...... Emperor Auston is assassinated!"

Kane rode past the crowd, Lerma turned around and shouted again: "Who's in charge here!"

"Dean Kane!" Someone finally stepped out of the crowd, and behind him, the crossbowmen were still firing towards the sea of fire, but instead of rockets, they were shining silver steel arrowheads.

"Hoyle!, why are you??," shouted Dean Kane.

Dean Kane ...... Captain Kaz, he has ...... Already killed by the Duke of Vane......" Hoyle looked grieved. He looked to be about thirty years old, not very tall, and if it weren't for his father's position as prime minister, with his strength as a mere knight, he would not be enough to act as the deputy of the head of the Kaz regiment.

Dean Kane shouted and asked, "Who is it, who said that?!"

Before Hoyle could answer, a soldier behind him shouted, "I, we all saw it! It's Duke Vain, Duke Vane killed Commander Katz! He's with Princess Lucia!"

Kane flew off his horse and grabbed the soldier's neck, grabbed it into the air like a chicken, and said sharply, "Who taught you to say that?!"

"Dean Kane......" A woman's voice sounded, Kane followed the sound, and saw that the woman's maid's dress was torn, half of her body was covered in blood, but she was holding a baby tightly in her arms.

"Dean Kane, this is Prince Angus...... I heard the dispute between His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Vane, so I took the prince out in advance, and if it weren't for the protection of the Royal Knights, Prince Angus would have died at the hands of the Duke of Vane......" The woman said as she wiped her tears from her eyes, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"How is this possible?" Dean Kane put down the soldier's neck just now, ran to the woman, stared at the baby in her arms, and was shocked for a while, "You, what do you hear them say?"

Standing not far from Kane, Mino knew that he had confirmed that the baby was indeed Prince Angus, and his original firm idea gradually wavered—if this was a premeditated mutiny, how could the rebels burn down the palace and save the prince in the middle of nowhere?

"I, I heard Duke Vane say that he would abdicate His Majesty the Emperor and give up the throne to Princess Lucia......" the woman said with a weeping voice.

"You are talking nonsense, the princess is not such a person!" Dean Kane's fury frightened the prince into tears, and the woman holding the prince trembled even more.

Hoyle said loudly: "Dean Kane! Her Royal Highness the Princess is not this kind of person, but who can guarantee that Duke Vane is not this kind of person?

"No...... No...... Donner isn't that kind of person......" Dean Kane's voice was no longer as firm as it had just been.

"The Duke of Wayne you know is the same Duke of Wayne many years ago! Dean Kane, have you forgotten what His Majesty the Emperor said? People change!" Hoyle's look of grief did not seem to be pretending at all.

Kane glanced at Hoyle, the muscles of his cheeks trembling unconsciously, as if he was holding back his sorrow, and he reached out and took Prince Angus from the arms of the handmaiden, and cared for it carefully on his chest, and the knights who came with him immediately drew close to him.

Everyone knew that the child in the arms of the dean would become the new emperor of the empire, shouldering the mission of continuing the royal blood of Femon.

Kane embraced the prince and quietly looked at the palace in the flames, the flames in his eyes blurring.

Hoyle subconsciously glanced at the child in Kane's arms, and slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

By this time, no arrows had been shot into the sky. After shooting all night, the arrows finally ran out, and the crossbowmen did not have the strength to draw their bows any further.

But it didn't matter, "Hoyle thought—that no one could survive such a fire, not even the mightiest magician.

Mino stood in a daze, unable to believe that Donner, who had been born and died with him, would betray the Empire. The wind blew on his face, bringing a wave of heat, but his heart was cold.

He turned, pushed through the crowd, and quietly left, but before he could take a few steps, the crowd suddenly let out a terrifying exclamation.

Mino suddenly looked back at the sea of fire, only to see three vague figures slowly walking out of the sea of fire!

One of them is Downer!

At this moment, there was no protection around him, but the flames automatically parted to the sides as if they were afraid of him.

The two people beside him were tightly wrapped in ice, as if they were wearing crystal armor.

At this moment, Mino suddenly remembered the legend that had once been passed down in the Empire - in that legend, Donner returned to heaven in a sea of fire.

"The arrows are all gone, why haven't the people arrived yet?" Donner walked out of the fire, but his voice was as cold as ice.
