Who would have thought that Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine, who had always been cold and refused to be approached by everyone, would openly say such a thing at such a high-profile dinner? Who would dare to provoke the weight of the words of the first order of Constantine's heirs? If at the beginning, almost all the nobles in the imperial capital had a playful attitude towards the relationship between Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine and the criminal, and also believed that the criminals were simply coveting Constantine's power and trying to take advantage of Her Royal Highness Sophia, then now, when Sophia said this concisely and resolutely, who can doubt the relationship between Her Royal Highness Sophia and the criminal?
Not a single person spoke.
But all of them must have had the same mind at this time.
Why?
What is that lowly sinner?
So the shock and jealousy, in such an emotion, watching the sinner staggering away, the atmosphere on the manor lawn was finally suffocating, and in this environment, one person must be able to realize that he must stand up, and he must know that even if everyone's eyes are on the sinner in the night, they can only wait for his attitude.
Austin-Herman.
It is hard to imagine that he can still be calm and calm at this time, and he is standing there, and he is probably the only one who has his eyes on the body of Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine, and looks directly into Sophia's determined eyes.
He spoke slowly, his voice low without a hint of trembling: "Why?"
Sophia was still cold, she was looking at him, and she was waiting for his reaction, so of course she wouldn't be surprised by his opening, she indifferently picked the corner of her beautiful lips: "I remember that I don't seem to know you well enough to explain to you." β
The eyes of everyone on the lawn were quickly pulled back to the field, the first heir of the Herman family and the first heir of Constantine, once the confrontation between the two raged and could not be contained, it would definitely be a big earthquake for the imperial capital, and it was not too much to say that it was likely to cause a new round of reshuffle of the imperial power pyramid.
Austin did not have emotional changes because of Sophia's words that left no room for him, the future hope of a huge family like him, has been cultivated by the family with all his strength, and he has also dealt with all kinds of nobles at a very young age, dealing with family affairs, of course, he can perfectly control his emotions, he just thought about it a little, then looked at Sophia calmly, and said steadily: "He is not worthy of you, and you should not have this impossible idea, since everyone knows that I like you, of course you can only belong to me." After a pause, he casually glanced at the back of the sinner who was almost disappearing from his sight, and continued: "As for him, it doesn't matter, I won't mind the illusion that you occasionally want to find alternative stimulation, after all, in the face of a man with ill intentions who wants to get close to you, you are still a child after all, you can rest assured, I will let him leave here as you want, but Sophia, I regret that I said this, he must not leave the imperial capital alive." β
Self-confidence, arrogance, narcissism?
There may be, but who would dare to doubt that the first heir to the Herman family has this qualification?
Sophia narrowed her eyes quietly, this action was obviously influenced by Augustus, she didn't speak, not not not to speak, but someone spoke before her.
Quentin-Pompey.
It's so exciting, how many years has the imperial capital not staged a wonderful scene of tit-for-tat tit-for-tat between the three heirs of the five giants? Even the marginal characters who are not qualified to interject in this kind of scene quickly forget about that damn lowly sinner and devote themselves to this scene.
The young master Quentin, who was so beautiful that even the Lord would sigh, still wore his intoxicating smile, and he lightly picked his already clean middle finger nail with his thumb nail, and his movements were indescribably elegant and natural: "It's terrible, there are even more narcissistic people than me, Austin, when will it be Herman's turn to dictate the imperial capital Gyeonggi garrison? Can he leave alive, do you really think you can decide?"
Somewhat embarrassed, Austin didn't look back at him and didn't speak.
He was standing there.
There was only Sophia in his eyes.
......
A dinner party that at first seemed to have nothing to do with Augustus, but then Augustus was definitely the protagonist, seemed to have finally come to an end.
Little did Augustus, however, know that for him, the real feast of the night had only just begun.
After Augustus walked out of the manor with the help of Elizabeth, the old butler who had been waiting there greeted him as soon as possible, and then helped Augustus to the carriage, and took out the usual bandages on the purple iris luxury carriage to bandage Augustus's wounds, even though the wound on Augustus's abdomen was bloody and shocking, but the old butler's fingers were always steady and calm, and even his expression did not change in the slightest, but this was of course not indifference, but he knew very well that since his lord was injured, he must be injured, and with Augustus's strength, he defeated the leader on the road of the younger generation of the imperial capital head-on, but it is definitely not an amazing feat that anyone can try to accomplish, and most importantly, this wound means that the entire second generation of the Clark family has been trampled under Augustus's feet.
The carriage left the estate.
Leaning on the carriage, Augustus, who was finally able to relax completely, closed his eyes gently, his face was extremely pale, and his whole person looked very depressed due to excessive blood loss, but despite this, after a little rest, he still opened his eyes and smiled hard at Elizabeth, who had not spoken beside him, and smiled weakly in the face of the latter's completely unconcealed worry: " Don't worry, it just looks terrible, but it's actually just a skin injury, I deliberately avoided the internal organs, and the big sword didn't pierce my abdomen, it's not serious, and if you wait for a few days for the wound to heal, there will be no problem. β
Elizabeth remained silent and did not speak.
Her little face was pale, she bit her lip tightly, and her eyes were always on Augustus's wound.
Then she suddenly spoke up and whispered, "Augustus, let's go back, or I'm afraid we'll get lost here." β
Augustus was stunned.
It was easy to understand the great worry and pressure that Elizabeth was experiencing at this time, and he did not hesitate and smiled: "Okay, let's go back." β
There was a silence in the carriage, Elizabeth of course knew very well that there were some things she could not say, at least at this time, but I don't know why, looking at Augustus's wounds, she couldn't control her emotions at all, she was very sad, the powerlessness that wanted to share some heavy pressure for Augustus, but was helpless at all, almost suffocated her, it was terrible, even if their father died overnight, Augustus couldn't wake up, and Alfred's everything could only be fought by her alone, there was no time to make her feel more desperate and terribleγ
She quietly reached out and stroked Augustus' wounds.
Then he rested his little head on Augustus' lap and suddenly felt like nothing but darkness in front of him.
The carriage moved slowly, past the manor in the southern suburbs, to the business district of the imperial capital of Buklu, where the magnificent purple iris carriage walked alone in the darkness under the cold moonlight.
Suddenly.
Without warning, the carriage slowed down and finally came to a stop on a street near Stone Town, a business district.
Augustus frowned for the first time, and was wondering if the guys in the manor had sent someone to chase him, but the old butler had already lifted the curtain and replied to him: "Someone has followed all the way, from the royal manor all the way here, depending on the situation, it seems that they are going to carry out an ambush on this road. Then he slowly took out a pair of white gloves, and old Vernon said, "I'll solve this trouble and come back soon." β
Augustus did not stop.
With Old Vernon's current strength, as long as it wasn't for those big people in the imperial capital, no one could stop Old Vernon's footsteps, the key was who were these people? Were they secretly sent by those undead guys in the manor? Or were they trying to ambush him because of the Mammoth Roulette to get benefits? Or were they some enemies he couldn't see or know?
He had a headache, and for the first time he felt that in this strange place in the imperial capital, there was too little he could control.
Old Vernon quickly disappeared into the darkness, the realm of human Ourano, the strength of the Sword Master, once he increased his speed with all his might, it was impossible for the current Augustus to capture Old Vernon's back.
I believe that, as Vernon Sr. said, he will be back soon.
Comforting Elizabeth beside him with a look and a smile, Augustus leaned back into the carriage, but as soon as he leaned on the carriage, he suddenly sat up again, his expression was instantly nervous, and the violent pulling of the wound made his cold sweat appear on his forehead at once, but he did not even pay attention to Elizabeth's nervousness, he directly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked into the darkness at the end of the street.
There was no wind, and the silence of the imperial capital in the middle of the night was terrible.
Squinting his eyes and looking around, Augustus had just wondered if it was his delusion, when a bright arrow in the night sky suddenly appeared and struck him suddenly.
Almost subconsciously, Augustus, who was covering his wounds, suddenly rolled out of the carriage, rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment, and the sharp arrow passed through the position where he had stayed before, and was directly nailed to the bluestone floor on the street, making a piercing crashing sound, and the bluestone floor also exploded instantly, fully reflecting the extraordinarily powerful fighting power on that sharp arrow.
Sure enough, it was a move away from the mountain.
Before the second arrow appeared, Augustus, who knew very well that he was the target, yelled at Elizabeth, who also poked out his head: "Go back, go back the way you came, and leave me alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a second sharp arrow broke through the air.
The great force even tears the air.
Augustus could only dodge again.
The wound that had just been bandaged had reopened, and blood was dripping down his fingers onto the bluestone floor of the street.
So the direction and angle of the two sharp arrows in front and back, coupled with the fact that the enemy could not be seen at all, Augustus could only quickly choose to dodge, try to lure the enemy away, and create time for Elizabeth to leave.
However, as if frightened, the gorgeous purple iris carriage stopped in the middle of the street, motionless.
