Looking at this son who he doesn't know well, this child who is less than 1.2 meters, his height is only up to his waist, and his appearance is like a porcelain doll because of the inherent bloodline of the Nordic people, white and shiny, under such a weak appearance, he has such a mature and unyielding heart, maybe he can really let the orthodoxy of the Hohenzollern family continue.

William's originally heavy heart suddenly relaxed, and the huge mountains that pressed on him didn't seem to be like a thing in front of his son, everything had been expected, and he hugged his daughter Euphelia who was hugging him, and William said to his eldest son, "

Frederick, I'm going to take you to the tunnels now. “

William kept running towards the front with the two children, because the people in the entire castle had already gone to the city wall to surround their lord, so there were no living people in the entire castle except for the corpses of the dead soldiers waiting to be buried in the castle, so the three of them had no scruples, running all the way, William also kept reminding Frederick of the things that should be paid attention to on the road, so as not to cause problems.

"Frederick, where are you going?" asked William, the situation outside was too dangerous, and it was not possible to escape safely by relying on ingenuity alone.

"I don't know, I definitely can't stay here anyway, and I can't do it around, in the entire Northern Empire, our family has too strong influence, and this influence is very likely to hand over my sister and me to that bastard, and we can only run farther away so that those guys won't catch us." “

Frederick was only a child, after all, and it was not easy for him to determine in a general direction in just a few days, and it would be a bit fantastical to be precise about which place or even the person.

William nodded, his son had never entered the social circle of the aristocracy, and it was already remarkable to think of this extent, and in William's mind, following Frederick's thoughts, an escape route had slowly formed in his mind.

The tunnel is covered in a blanket in a remote room of the castle, a secret passage built by the ancestors of the Hohenzollern family during the construction of Oral Fort to avoid accidents, and only the eldest son can know the location and exit of this passage, so there is no possibility of detection.

Frederick and Euphelia were running out of breath, constantly inhaling the smelly air outside, their bodies were too small, and their physical strength naturally couldn't support them for too long, William looked at his two children so hard, and couldn't help but waver a little in his heart about his decision, can they survive on their own.

But in the blink of an eye, William overturned his own thoughts, there were already too many people who died for themselves, for the Hohenzollerns, they did it out of loyalty to themselves, they died on this battlefield, without regrets.

But their wives and daughters and parents will also suffer the strong blow of the departure of their husbands, fathers, and children, and he cannot abandon his responsibilities without hesitation, so that these wives and children will spit on the iron bars of Bellevue Palace after the death of their own man, and scold their man for following such a courageless master.

He couldn't let these dead people and those who were about to die for themselves be spit on after death, and he didn't want to be looked down upon by his people forever after death.

William took down the torch that had been planted in the wall next to him, threw it into the tunnel, and saw that the torch was still burning and had not been extinguished, so that it was safe to make sure that Frederick and Euphelia climbed down the ladder.

Frederick carefully crawled into the tunnel, picked up the torch thrown on the ground for lighting, looked at the dark tunnel in front of him and couldn't see the road ahead, his heart was also a little dazed, but it disappeared in an instant, now is not the time to think about being afraid of the dark, Frederick cheered himself up, and then helped his sister down the tunnel.

"Frederick, this is for you. William handed Frederick a ring on his hand, which was the engagement ring he wore when he married his wife, Frederick's mother, although he was not satisfied with his wife William, but he always carried the ring with him, and at this time William gave the ring to himself and his wife's child, Frederick's hand.

Looking at the quaint ruby ring he still had on his hand, William hesitated for a moment, but still did not give it to Frederick, this ring is the family token ring of the Duke of Brandenburg, whoever holds this ring is the undisputed Duke of Brandenburg, the patriarch of the Hohenzollern family.

If he gave the ring to Frederick, William knew that his brother Gigadrei would definitely dig three feet into the ground and find the person who took the ring, and for the safety of his own children, he still couldn't help but have selfishness and brought the ring back to his hand.

Maybe his brother won't be looking for his nephew and niece anymore after he gets this ring.

Frederick took the ring his father handed him, and was noncommittal, he was not stupid, and for what his father was doing now, Frederick simply and easily reduced him to a will.

Euphelia looked at her father who didn't come down, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, she also knew what her father was doing, but she didn't have a heart of stone like Frederick, facing her father, she wanted William to go with her, she didn't care about the feelings of the dead soldiers, and she didn't want to care about what would happen to the families of those soldiers, let alone how her father would be scolded by people.

Euphelia just wanted her father to be by her side, nothing more, so she stepped on the escalator and put her hand out of the tunnel, hoping that her father would be able to follow her.

William glanced at his daughter and forced himself to look at Frederick behind her, he didn't want to spend his beautiful life with his daughter, and then marry her to a boy he liked in the midst of flowers and applause, but this thing was so cruel, some things were to make people make painful choices, and he could only give up his daughter in the face of his daughter and his own responsibility.

"Frederick, from this tunnel is the Donglan Plain, you go east, go to Knight Katya, he is a trustworthy man, he will keep you safe. William spoke to Frederick word by word, fearing that he had made a mistake and had gone to the wrong place.

Knight Katya is a hereditary knight of the Hohenzollern family, he has followed his family since his ancestors, and his loyalty is irrefutable, and Knight Katya is 43 years old this year, his parents died, his wife also died in a cholera a few years ago, and the only daughter who gave birth to a daughter has also been married elsewhere, so giving his child to him will not delay the future of the family.

"Then, follow the Knight Katya to the south, do not stop, take the ring I gave you, and go to Milan to find the Bishop of Da Vinx, who is a member of the House of Hohenzollern, and who was also the blessed priest for my wedding to your mother, and you go to him, and maybe he will protect you. ”

William thought for a long time, and only thought of this figure, who could be regarded as a distant relative of his family, Da Vinx von Hohenzollern, the younger brother of his father, who had been sent to the Holy See by his grandfather and had been sent to preach because of his outstanding achievements, and now he had become the Bishop of the Diocese of Milan.

Judging from the few interactions between William and Da Vinx's uncle, this is a kind old man, and in the old man's control area, perhaps Frederick and Euphelia can live quite well.
