Chapter 174: Voluntary Withdrawal

The people are here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Augustus also knew that the time for him to leave the imperial capital and even leave this world was basically a countdown, and in the imperial capital, there were only a few people who really wanted him to die, except for the group of people attracted by the Mammoth Roulette who secretly cursed more than acted, and there was also a Clark family, a heretical inquisition, and Austin, the heirs of the imperial capital nobility. As for the other adults in Stanford, it was an accident, for Augustus, there are not many of them, and they can't change much of his current situation, because no matter which of these enemies is faced alone, even if Augustus does not have the strength to defeat, he at least has the ability to protect himself; 。

He withdrew his gaze from the three night watchmen on the meadow, and turned to look at Prince Colum, who had never looked at him before.

He is indeed a little puzzled, according to the words and deeds of this Prince Colum from the words and deeds after entering the living room, to the series of processes in which he just finished negotiating with Clark and others in Stanford, and the night watchman of the Inquisition arrived as scheduled, the rhythm of this coincidence is really obvious, and it also makes him very suspicious that all this is directed by Prince Columbia, because he does have this ability, although the imperial power and the ecclesiastical power have always been in a delicate state of struggle and balance, but to deal with a criminal This little matter, I believe that the Holy See is still willing to cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Columbia, but the key is the motiveWhy did Colum do this? Was it just because of Sophia? But Sophia should have seen the clues of such a clever method, right? He wouldn't worry about self-defeating and causing Sophia's disgust?

Besides, is there only one way for His Royal Highness the Prince, who is hailed as the hope for the future of the Empire?

Or is it really just a coincidence?

Augustus didn't continue to think about it, there was no need, he naturally rejected all so-called coincidences, whether it was coincidental or deliberate, it could only be deliberate in his case, anyway, it was impossible for him and the prince of Columbia, who vowed to put on a wedding dress for Sophia, to become friends regardless of his status, right? So he looked at Coren meaningfully, and when Coren finally turned his head to meet his gaze, he suddenly smiled, and without giving Coren time to react, he asked a rather inexplicable common-sense question that almost the entire Holy Empire knew the answer to: "Your Royal Highness, do you have any other brothers?"

Columne was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Of course." ”

Augustus put on a look of obvious relief: "That's okay, the future of the empire may not only be dark. ”

Prince Columbia, who has a certain amount of tolerance, laughed dumbly, of course he would not bother with this lowly sinner at this time, he thought about it, and was about to sincerely praise this sinner who still cares about the future of the empire even if he was banished to the abandoned wasteland, but Augustus did not give him a chance to speak, and then said: "But correspondingly, Your Highness, your future must be difficult to bright. ”

After saying that, he didn't look at the future of the empire, and turned to look at Sophia, who had grabbed his arm again at some point.

He ignored Angelina's hatred for Sophia holding his arm, and he didn't pay attention to Prince Columbia, who noticed this detail, quietly narrowed his eyes, and in this living room, in front of everyone, he gently held Sophia's hand, and then stared deeply into Sophia's worried eyes, he smiled, still so gentle or so calm.

He let go of Sophia's hand.

Suddenly looked up at the second floor of the living room, where a young girl in a white dress stood alone.

He smiled and pointed to his heart, then to his feet.

Elizabeth upstairs smiling hard.

Of course she knew what he was talking about.

Without further hesitation, he turned and walked out of the living room to the three night watchmen on the grass.

Behind him, an old butler with silver hair quietly followed.

......

So it was only at this time that the nobles, lords, young masters, and ladies in the living room finally reacted, the Holy See, the Inquisition, the Night Watch, the Forsaken Wasteland, the Sinners, the Heretics? This huge amount of information was stunned except for a very few people, and even the Earl Clark of Stanford and others were stunned, and then there was an uproar, who would have thought that this sinners would actually be associated with the dark and evil heresy? No wonder he caused York on the first night he came to the imperial capital? Young Master Clark has become a madman for some reason, no wonder this damned criminal behaves ugly and vulgar, and even the fact that he can defeat Young Master George at his age is the best proof that he is an evil heresy, especially considering that he himself comes from a dirty and barren abandoned wasteland, all of which also made the young masters and ladies in the living room suddenly realize.

Bursts of discussion with fear or disgust and hatred suddenly erupted.

Look at the damned heretic who walked out of the living room, and they wished they were burning at the stake right in the manor.

Of course, there are sober people too.

Just like Master Austin, who had known that this sinner had disappeared a few days ago because of the Inquisition, he would not have been surprised by the appearance of the Inquisition, nor would he have wondered that the Night's Watch had broken into Sophia's Violet Manor in such a grand manner, because Herman had Herman's channel so that he could know why the Inquisition was chasing and killing this criminal, so regardless of the appearance of the Night's Watch or his ending tonight, Austin would have known for a long time- This is actually the only reason why he has been quiet since he arrived, he doesn't need to do too much at this time, he can get the results he wants, so why does he have to bother?

He was just a little worried about Sophia's reaction, or rather concern.

Really.

Almost as soon as Augustus stepped out of the threshold of the living room, Sophia, biting her lip, trotted along with her skirt and followed.

Sophia was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the Night Watch, although she knew that it was the Inquisition that pursued Augustus a few days ago, but after all, this was her manor, even if she didn't mention her identity or Mass, she was also an official white-robed priest of the Holy See, what qualifications did these executioners from the Inquisition have to break into her manor? She trotted all the way, looking anxious, of course she knew that the Night's Watch must not let Augustus be taken away, although she had never had much feeling and had little contact with the Inquisition, but the occasional mention of the Inquisition in Mass was enough for her to conclude that once Augustus was taken away, there was no possibility of living again, not only because of the darkness and obscurity of the Inquisition itself, but also because there were many nobles in the imperial capital who did not want Augustus to live.

She ran to the meadow.

But before she could even run out of the living room, she had to stop.

Because there was a feminine young man's voice ringing in her ears without warning.

"If you still want him to live, then I suggest you better talk to us. ”

The familiar voice made it so familiar that Sophia didn't have to look back to know it was coming from her brother Turing.

Turing.

Frodo.

Sophia stood in the doorway, not looking back, clenching her fists, her palms cold.

She was measuring what Turing was saying, and she was also thinking quickly about whether she could stand with Augustus and stand with Augustus to resist the Holy See's heresy first, then fight against Stanford's hatred, and finally maybe face Austin's petty actions.

The answer is obviously impossible to guess.

How could Sophia have expected the Inquisition to appear tonight? The forces she had set up were themselves from the Mass, what would happen if the power of the Holy See was against the power of the Holy See? Well, even if they were reckless, with such a powerful enemy, would they still have enough strength to fight Stanford? Besides, how could the Inquisition be something they could fight against.

This is the imperial capital after all.

Staring at Augustus's back as he walked farther and farther away, Sophia's face became paler and paler.

"Don't think about it, you don't have a choice, I know that Nicholas let the Knights of the Hibiscus Heavy Armor disperse around the manor, and I also know how many defenses there are in this manor, but Sophia, you may not know how many Stanford knights are outside your manor, and you don't know that you are around you, there are several groups of night watchmen of the Inquisition, speaking of which, even I don't understand the care of this guy by the Inquisition, in the imperial capital, how many years have I not seen 4 groups of night watchmen acting at the same time, completely against one personSo you can only cooperate with us, you know better than us, without the family, without the power of Constantine, you can't save him. ”

Sophia, biting her lip tightly, didn't speak.

She had sworn she would never face that man again.

She had sworn that she would never bow to Constantine for the rest of her life.

So she couldn't convince her to go to the so-called negotiations with them.

The atmosphere gradually depressed.

As Augustus faced the three night watchmen on the meadow, the young masters and ladies in the living room finally couldn't restrain their excitement, although they didn't know what Sophia and her brother were talking about, but this did not prevent them from going out and watching the local war in which light defeated darkness, so there were fewer and fewer people in the living room, and several adults in Stanford followed suit.

From time to time, people passed by her.

From time to time, someone looked at her with complicated eyes.

However, Sophia seems to be completely unaware of all this.

She just looked at him, just at Augustus, who calmly walked towards the Night's Watch, and her expression gradually calmed until her clenched fist slowly loosened.

She said indifferently: "Tell your conditions." ”

The corners of Turing's lips behind him quietly hooked a playful arc, and sure enough, as their father expected, it was indeed very simple to let their stubborn little princess take the initiative to quit, take the initiative to leave, and also take the initiative to bow her head.

Love?

It's a lot more interesting and useful. (To be continued.) )
