(463) Awakening
Prince Joffrey Rafalit contemptuously:
"Hmph...... It's just some unseeded slave cubs...... They are still better suited to take a hoe than a gun and a sword,
Father doesn't have to worry, as long as he sends troops to suppress it like last time, he can wipe out a fine light in an instant! ”
"Silly son, how can it be as simple as yours? That's more than a million people, and even if a million pigs stand and let people kill, it will take a while. ”
"You should order Lord Wells, the commander-in-chief of the army, to concentrate the main forces for a big battle."
"That's what I thought, but that damn gladiator used guerrilla tactics, ran when he was done, and kept harassing our outposts and supply lines.
Now that the regular army and militia units are exhausted, and the sheriffs and gendarmes in many places have been cornered, the situation would have gotten out of control if it had not been for the help of the Voodoo apologists and the royal forbidden army. ”
Prince Joffrey was overjoyed, slapped him hard, and said:
"That's right! Master Diamund, the Dark Sect, will take action personally, and then any problem will be solved, and when the suppression is over, I will cut off the heads of these slave cubs, dip them in tar and stick them in the city gates for public display! ”
"Son, what's the use of being ruthless, you have to prove yourself with practical actions, maybe it's time for you to put on a fight."
As soon as he heard that he was going to go to the battlefield, Joffrey couldn't help but shudder, and his tone became submissive: "Father, I'm not ready yet, I'd better leave it to someone else." ”
The king shook his head in disappointment: "There is no point in escaping, sooner or later you will have to face our old enemy,
Our enemies are not just slaves, but Empress Valsta may well be behind them, perhaps she is the one who secretly provides intelligence, training, munitions, and medical supplies to the slave rebels. ”
"Don't worry, we have hostages."
Prince Joffrey glanced at his wife beside him; "When the time comes, put the knife on the neck of this stupid woman, Empress Valsta will be so frightened that she will stop obediently, ahaha!"
Rosemary Midknight pretended not to hear, and her valet Elise was cutting the steak and scooping cream soup for her, and she ate an astonishing amount of food, and in a short time there were empty plates piled up in front of her.
Joffrey laughed, "Hey, look at this Valstad sow!" Wrong...... She eats better than a sow! ”
The king felt that his son was embarrassed and wanted to divert the subject as soon as possible, so he looked at his pocket watch and said:
"Alright, at one o'clock in the afternoon, it's time for us to pray to the dark god, priest, and come into the dining room for a prayer service!"
At this time, the door of the dining room was pushed open, and it was not a dark priest of Voodoo who entered, but a second lieutenant of the Forbidden Army cavalry with a panicked expression.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, a regular army unit and the royal forbidden army exchange fire! Thousands of casualties have already been caused! ”
"What are you?"
Louis Lafalette I threw away his knife and fork and stood up.
"At present, it seems that there may be a conflict between the high-level leaders of the two armies, and the specific matters need to be continued to be observed."
Prince Joffrey was overwhelmed with fright: "Attacking our Praetorian Army? This...... Is this a rebellion? ”
"Calm down!" King Louis, who had seen the world, reacted immediately:
"No matter what happens, prepare for the worst possible, and transfer all the nearby forbidden troops to this palace! Also, send a team of light cavalry scouts to inform the Dark Sect Elder and ask him to help! ”
The people in the palace were all panicked, and only the crown princess was still eating leisurely.
"Damn! Don't eat it, you sow! Prince Joffrey scolded.
After a while, the scout brought bad news: "Your Majesty, the latest news, the rebellious troops are two infantry divisions and a heavy cavalry brigade of General Shupaiya, who launched a surprise attack on a forbidden army camp and killed many people!" ”
"Shupaia! This bastard! The king slapped the table: "What about Lord Wells?" How did she manage her subordinates? ”
The scout stumbled, "Looks like ...... Lord Wells also reversed...... There was no news from the Army Headquarters in the middle of the day, and it was very likely that he was lurking nearby with a large army. ”
"What?" The king's eyes widened in surprise: "This ...... How is this possible, I personally promoted him up, how can he take revenge like this! ”
At this time, the sound of gunfire could be faintly heard in the dining room, and a shrapnel fragment of a grenade shell pierced the floor-to-ceiling window and landed next to the table.
The prince was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "Praetorian Guard, come and protect your monarch!" ”
Rosemary glanced at her husband's embarrassed face, his expression full of banter and satisfaction.
"Oh no, a rebel unit has broken through the line! It's only 600 meters away from the palace! ”
The captain of the palace guard pulled out his command knife and walked out of the dining room, and before leaving, he turned back and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, our troops will arrive soon, and you are safe." ”
"Whoa!" A window was shattered by a stray bullet, causing the servants to flee in all directions.
The sound of artillery became more and more intense, and the king saw the rebel troops marching in the distance, and said with a dead face: "No cooperation... It looks like I can't stand it! Evacuate! Let them prepare the wagon! ”
"We are surrounded! General Shupaiya and Lord Wells' rebels are coming from the north and south! ”
The king reacted very quickly: "It's okay, just hold on until the reinforcements arrive, let's go to the basement and take shelter for the time being!" ”
Prince Joffrey tried to get out of the door, but was stopped by a tall royal attendant:
"You can't go yet, Your Highness."
"Get out of the way!" The prince tried to push his attendant away, but he was short and weak, and pushed himself to the ground.
"Not good! We also have traitors on our side! The king immediately sensed that something was wrong, and turned to look at the crown princess, who was eating:
"This woman did it...... Guardsman! Fast...... Kill her! ”
At this time, there were still six guards in the restaurant, all of them motionless and expressionless.
The king broke out in a cold sweat: (not good...... It's been a long time since I've been to the palace...... These are fresh faces, and these guards are all sprinkled! Finished! Finished! )
Joffrey Lafalit walked over and wanted to slap his wife, but was grabbed by the tall attendant, and could only shout in impotence and rage:
"You damn Valstad sow! Traitor! ”
Rosemary Midknight gracefully swallowed a spoonful of fried foie gras and unhurriedly wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"My good husband, you are beating."
At this time, the guards loyal to the king and the rebels involved in the coup were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and several loyalists kicked open the door of the restaurant after a bloody battle, and fought with the rebels inside.
At last the king looked forward to a savior, and cried out, "Great! Kill the Crown Princess! She's a traitor! ”
All three pistols were pointed at Rosemary, and the tall squire fell after blocking two shots for her, and the valet Elise pounced on her, holding the last lethal shot for the heroine.
By this time, the dining room was already full of corpses, the king had fallen to the ground after being shot, and the loyalists and rebels were all out of breath, leaving only the crown prince and his wife standing facing each other.
"Stupid woman! You're dead! ”
Joffrey Lafalette grinned, picked up a pistol, only to find that there were no bullets, and replaced it with a bayonet.
"Niu'er, you're just a after all! Weak as a rose on your head, die! ”
The prince approached with his sword in hand.
Rosemary Midknight let go of the body of her maid Elise, pulled a loaded miniature pistol from the hidden pocket of her dress, opened the safety with her thumb, and pulled the trigger on her husband's chest.
"Phew!"
After a loud bang, a large bloody hole appeared in the prince's chest, and he fell, a fat, bloodstained hand grasping Rosemary's satin shoes and refusing to let go.
"You femme fatale...... How dare you murder your husband......"
The prince's pupils dilated, and he swallowed, and rose petals fell on his head, blood soaking the thick plush carpet.
"You only see the roses, but you don't see the thorns of its stems." Rosemary said quietly, then trembling and throwing away the miniature pistol.
This was the first time she had killed a living being, and it was not a mosquito or ant, but a living person.
Her heart was beating wildly, her whole body trembled and she broke out in a cold sweat, and she sat on a high-backed chair with her legs limped, staring at the whole room of dead people, including the corpses of the king and the prince.
(Good risk...... Fortunately, he brought a pistol from Kingsgard and almost failed...... )
Outside, the gunfire was getting more and more intense, the rebels had entered the inner courtyard of the palace, and the loyal guards were retreating.
(Is this what it feels like to kill?) The instinct of human violence**...... It's wonderful. )
Rosemary Midknight poured herself a glass of champagne and put half a spoonful of honey and two pieces of ice.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched as the rebels slaughtered the loyalist guards one by one, led by her underground lover, Lord Wells Canterbury.
