They shook hands and escaped from the execution ground surrounded by plainclothes mercenaries.

Taking advantage of the chaos,

Prince Maxim took off his black woolen coat and threw it to the ground, and then he took a dress jacket from his men and put it over Lady Grancy's prison uniform, and the two of them changed their images in an instant.

Hand in hand, they burrowed into the crowd, everyone trying to get out of this land of right and wrong, and no one noticed them.

A smug smile appeared on Maxim's handsome face, and he thought: (Great, that's half the battle!) Just follow the crowd out of town, and we'll be free! ）

Ms. Grancy, who had escaped from the guillotine, was obviously still apprehensive, she looked at the prince in horror, what she saw was a really, unworldly big boy who could do anything for love, and the warm palm of the other party made her gradually calm down.

Although there was no hope at all, she no longer persuaded him to give up.

As a person who has come over, she knows very well in her heart that Maxim's elopement plan cannot succeed.

The free love and idyllic life that the prince longed for was also a dream, and even if they managed to escape from the capital, the Empress of Valstad would not let them go, and thousands of pursuers would follow.

The future will be a turbulent and embarrassing escape career, and both endings are destined to be a tragedy.

But at least, in this moment, she can be with her lover, running arm in arm, enjoying the freedom to breathe, which is enough for an unfortunate woman like her, and all she can hope for is to make this moment last a little longer.

(How nice it would be if time stopped and let this moment become eternal...... ）

But there are no ifs in this world, and the torrent of time rolls forward and never stops.

The dense and heavy sound of horses' hooves came from the street in the distance, getting closer and closer.

The earth began to tremble, and the stones on the stone slabs of the streets rolled back and forth.

"What's wrong?" Someone asked.

Maxim, who was tall, looked over the heads of the crowd and scolded: "Damn it! The streets are blocked! The cavalry is coming! ”

The momentum of the operation was somewhat staggering, and the number of cavalry was exaggerated, and it seemed that the elite cavalry of the Imperial Guard stationed near the palace had already poured out.

Directly in front of them is a gorgeous and mighty force,

Dressed in bright silver cuirasses and feathered helmets, and mounted on tall horses, the horsemen lined up side by side, blocking the streets with a wall of steel and flesh.

Prince Maxim turned his head, and he shouted to the mercenary leader behind him: "Katepool! Break through the encirclement with your men! ”

The mercenary leader said, "Are you crazy? Let's go against the Guards cuirassiers? It's like hitting a stone with an egg! ”

The prince said angrily: "Otherwise? Isn't that what I hired you for ten times as much? Fight! ”

"I'm sorry I refuse this unreasonable request! We only do business that has a chance to succeed, and we forget about the death. ”

Afterwards, the mercenary leader, Kate Poole, whistled, a kind of code, and ordered his thirty or so mercenary men to hide in the crowd and gradually disperse.

"Bang...... Bang bang! ”

A few gunshots rang out in the distance, several mercenaries were identified, and then a shootout ensued, and several mercenaries who were found were soon killed by the Guards cavalry who rushed to hear the news, and two unlucky innocent citizens were killed by stray bullets, the crowd fled in a hurry, the street intersection became more crowded, and the casualties caused by the stampede accident became more serious.

Maxim looked around anxiously, and the figure of the mercenary leader disappeared, and he shouted, "Kate Poole! Kate Poole! What about people? Fulfill your contract! ”

No one responded to his call, and he was surrounded by crowded, anxious citizens.

The prince scolded angrily: "Damn mercenaries! A bunch of bastards! Coward! They...... Betrayed me! He turned his head and hugged his lover: "Grancy, now we have to run away on our own!" ”

At this time, one of the Guards cuirassiers recognized him in the crowd: "Look! That tall man is Prince Maxim! Violet eyes, silver hair, you're right! It must be the female spy who is with him! ”

"Damn! We've been discovered, run back! ”

Maxim took Ai Rao's hand and tried to squeeze back, but the dense wall of people was already impenetrable, and the couple tried several times without success.

At this moment, they were in an extremely awkward situation, caught between the crowd and the cavalry, unable to move.

Five burly cuirassiers jumped off their horses and slowly approached them.

Prince Maxim, in despair, shouted hysterically: "Bastard! Stop it! I am the Imperial Prince! I want to see who dares to touch me! ”

The cavalrymen looked a little hesitant, and they stopped and looked at each other.

The prince saw a glimmer of hope: "That's right!" Fast! Loosen the encirclement! Let us go! ”

At this time, a cavalry officer wearing the rank of major stepped forward, and his calm words carried the dignity of a soldier:

"Your Majesty, we do not dare to disobey your will, but it is a pity that this mission was given to us by your mother, His Majesty Emperor Salantos Midnet, herself. She told us to take you both back to the palace.

'Bring them back even if they are shackled,' these are the words of your Mother Majesty! So, Your Majesty, there is no point in resisting, please obey! ”

"Nope! My mother, Her Majesty, loves me the most! There's no way she's going to send someone to get me! Get out of the way! ”

Seeing that the prince began to make trouble, the officer shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty Prince Maxim, since you are unwilling to accept the order, it will be a great offense!" ”

The officer made a gesture and commanded his subordinates: "Handcuff His Majesty the Prince and that lady, don't hesitate!" This is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor! But remember, be gentle and don't hurt His Majesty! ”

"Yes!" The five cuirassiers did not hesitate any longer, and one of them removed two shackles from his belt and made a gesture to put them on for Madame Grancie.

Prince Maxim flew up and kicked down the shackled cavalrymen: "Bastard thing! Stay away from her! She's my fiancée! I see which of you dares to touch her! ”

The officer continued: "Soldiers! Don't hesitate to continue to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor! ”

This time, six more horsemen jumped off their horses, and a total of eleven tall and strong cuirassiers surrounded them.

"Your Majesty, I offended ......"

Amid the hysterical curses of Prince Maxim, the cavalrymen swarmed up, tied the couple with thick hemp ropes, and shackled them.

The officer nodded with satisfaction: "Well done!" Let's take people back to the palace, and the rest of the troops are responsible for hunting down the mercenaries in the crowd, okay, let's start the action! ”

"Yes!"

The cavalry moved swiftly like a gust of wind, and a veteran in the crowd sighed; "It is worthy of being the Imperial Guard, and it is resolute in doing things, which is not comparable to ordinary soldiers!"

A moment later, the mastermind of the attack on the execution ground, Prince Maxim and his lover, were sent to the Golden Lake Palace.

In order to avoid other people as much as possible, the emperor chose the meeting place in a living room in the inner court of the imperial palace, with only a few cronies by his side.

Seeing his son, who was tied up and shackled, being pushed in front of him, Emperor Sarantos sighed faintly:

"Hey...... Do you know what you've done? My silly son, Yo ......."

After being loosened by the servants, Prince Maxim stood up angrily, and immediately untied the knots and shackles of Madame Grancie, and shouted at his mother:

"I didn't do anything wrong! All I ask for is freedom! That's all! ”
