Chapter 805: Hostage-taking
In the highest hall of the kingdom, the self-proclaimed "new king" man sits on the throne, and the new and old generals under his command sit in the benches one after another, and the bright candle flame makes the atmosphere look extremely solemn, but if you look closely, you will find that the faces of those people are cloudy, and they are obviously restless, as if waiting for a judgment.
With a shrill voice, the door of the auditorium opened, and with it a sun-like glow.
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the auditorium, and Denisha held the unsheathed Twilight Sword, the bright sun and golden fire flowing in the sword, so brilliant, but brought a sense of deathly oppression.
The civil and military ministers here are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves, have crossed all kinds of turmoil and ups and downs in the kingdom for decades, and their hearts are as strong as steel, and they will choose to follow André now, and they must be ready to face the rainstorm.
However, when Denisha walked by, cold sweat unconsciously spilled from them, wetting the shirt.
"Pap, papa, papa..." Andre was the only one who did not show the slightest nervousness at this time, he applauded, and with the kind smile on his face that was once characteristic of a kind prince, "You are finally here, King's Blade, I am waiting for you." ”
Denisha looked at Andre from afar and said calmly, "You know, Andrei, I have always disliked you, because you are usually too kind and easy-going, so that you don't look like a prince. ”
"The most irritating thing is that the smile on your face is like a mask like that of Chino van Helsing. I didn't know what you're hiding with this mask before, but now I know. ”
Denisha flicked her wrist, and the cold light refracted by the twilight illuminated the cold in her eyes: "Have you had enough of playing the game of the king?" ”
"Hehehe...," Andre smiled lowly, his tone quite playful, "Of course not, I want to play for decades, hundreds, thousands of years... Keep playing. ”
"That's a pity, you can't play that long, you can't even play for a minute." Denisha took out the king's badge given to her by Pertheus and gave her an ultimatum, "On the king's orders, the second prince Andrei Doguland and the king's right hand Lanxian Hitch, these two wolf ambitions disturb the court, and immediately send them to the black gate to be imprisoned pending trial." ”
"Anyone who dares to stop him, or if these two are unwilling to cooperate, I will be ordered by the king to kill him on the spot!"
Andrei's expression did not appear to be as panic as he imagined, but became more and more playful, and he deliberately said in a sad tone: "Is this the fate of every illegitimate son of the palace?" usually rewards you, uses you, and pretends to cultivate you, but every time fate forks in, it will abandon you mercilessly, just like throwing away an inconsequential dog. ”
"I don't care about your family trivialities, I only care about whether you are willing to be captured, because it depends on whether I want to take your body alive or your head." ”
Andrei: "What if I say you can't take any of them with you?" ”
"Then take the heads." Denisha held Twilight in her hand and walked towards Andre, as if there was a materialized aura in front of her, and none of the ministers present dared to step forward to stop her.
Facing Denisha who came to ask for her life like a grim reaper, Andre still didn't panic, he smiled and said slowly: "Dinessa, you just said that you didn't like me all along. On the contrary, I like you very much - not the kind of love that men and women love, I like you as a person, fame and fortune, hearty and free. ”
"You are like the protagonist in a knight's story, willing to sacrifice yourself to protect the weak. 24 Storm Lane is a place of home for you, isn't it? Because you have a kind of affection for those orphans—" Andre said with a smirk, "no less than a blood bond." ”
"Click." Andre snapped his fingers after speaking, and a petite figure was brought out of the background.
It was a young girl, dressed in an exquisite and elegant court gown, with a hand-woven garland on her head, whether it was an elegant lace glove or a beautiful crystal slipper, all of which exuded the nobility of a princess.
However, that little face was full of panic at this time, which formed an extremely disconnected contrast with this dress.
"Sister... Sister—" The little girl called out to Denisha in a trembling voice.
She is none other than one of the orphans at 24 Storm Lane, Candy.
"Shhhh Hey, little one, don't be afraid, come to me. André took the candy to him, touched her head and whispered, "Come and tell my sister why you're here?" ”
Candy said with a crying voice: "Sister... We would have been... I was reading a book in the manor, but suddenly a lot of people in armor came, and everyone was arrested, Amanda, the little braincase, the little squirrel... Everybody's been arrested..."
André signaled to stop, and said solemnly: "I must explain that this child's statement is not very accurate, and I did not 'arrest' them, but took them to another place to take care of them. ”
"These children have servants who are in charge of daily life every day, and their food and clothing are of aristocratic standards, and I will let people buy whatever they want, and there will be no disadvantage." Andrei's eyes deepened, and he smiled, "The only restriction they have is that they are not allowed to leave their residence for half a step." ”
"Denisa, I must admit that you are very clever enough to send these children out of the royal city early and place them in a very remote place, and my men have gone to great lengths to find them."
"But obviously, you're not smart enough. A truly intelligent person will not allow himself to have a weakness, nor will he allow his own handle to exist in the world. ”
"From the beginning of the adoption of your first child, you have made irreparable mistakes."
Andrei's trick was never revealed to his followers, and it shocked everyone at this time.
In this era, the biggest obstacle to a coup d'état was not the current king Percius, not the king's left-hand Sting, not the two princes and princesses Bolton and Solandale, not anyone else, but Denisha Doguland.
The basis of the seizure of power is power, and whoever holds the king's blade in the 7th sequence will have the ultimate power.
As long as Denisha is loyal to Perseus for one day, no one can shake his will, and he has the power of life and death firmly in his hands.
Andrei wants to usurp the throne, and Denisha will inevitably be unable to bypass this level, let him do everything, if he can't get Dinisha's support, any plan is useless.
Everyone didn't expect that in order to deal with Denissa, Andre used a very traditional, nothing new, but extremely effective for thousands of years - hostages.
He seized all of the children that Denisha had adopted at 24 Storm Lane, using these young lives as bargaining chips to show his fangs to the King's Blade.
