Chapter 372: Go to the Imperial Palace
"Take him down for me!"
The eldest prince finally spoke, and without further delay, now was the best time to kill Gervais, not only for a good reason, but also the easiest time.
"Stop!"
Just when the big battle was about to break out, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded outside the hall door.
When people looked around, they saw a stunningly beautiful cold woman walking over under the escort of a team of silver-armored soldiers, it was Alice, Gervais's cheap wife.
Seeing the arrival of Alice and the Rose Knight, Gervais finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least now he doesn't have to worry about being bullied by the eldest prince.
"Count Alice, you have come just in time, your husband Baron Gervais has killed the heir of the Charles family, Ulric, and I am about to take him down and send him to His Majesty for guilt!"
A hint of pity flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, he didn't expect Alice to come so quickly, and now it was impossible for him to kill Gervais in front of Alice.
"Don't bother Your Highness the Great Prince, I'll take Gervais to meet His Majesty the King now."
"However, I have heard that today's incident is not because of Gervais, and I will seek justice from His Majesty."
Alice's face was cold, and after saying to the eldest prince, she looked at Charles's body on the ground, and her expression was still unshocked.
After looking at it for a moment, Alice said to Gervais, "Gervais, let's go, and now go to see His Majesty." ”
"Okay!"
Gervais nodded, it is indeed the best choice to go to meet the king now, if Ulric's father, who is also the current earl of the Charles family, comes, in case of murderous intentions, no one here can stop it.
Count Nemio of the Charles family is a Golden Knight.
Although the king may not necessarily protect himself, at least in front of the king, Naomi does not dare to kill people at will, and he must follow the procedure of the law.
"Ike, take this corpse with you!"
Before leaving, Gervais gave a word of order to Ike, who had come up with Alice.
Tonight's events are strange, the reason why things have developed to this point, this person who was beheaded by himself is a great help, otherwise even if he and the eldest prince and others get involved, they will not be in a fight for life and death.
What's more, this man is clearly here to assassinate himself, and the Mithril dagger on the ground is the best proof of this.
After Ike and the others had put away the corpse and the dagger, Gervais and Alice quickly went to the king's palace.
The eldest prince didn't say anything more, but he didn't leave the Glory Manor immediately, but continued to wait.
He must wait for the people of the Charles family to come and explain in advance, otherwise he will also be involved in today's affairs, and it is likely that he will also attract the hatred of the Charles family.
"Gervais, what's going on today?"
After leaving the manor, Alice's cold appearance was somewhat relieved, although such a subtle change may not even be known to her.
Gervais was also helpless, so he could only tell Alice about today's incident in Glory Manor.
Of course, this also covered up the fact that he took the initiative to flirt with his sister, but he just happened to meet Caroline, and then the next thing happened.
As for killing Ulric and the others, Gervais did not hide it, but he did not reveal that he had learned the fireball technique.
Regarding his ability to understand basic magic skills, Gervais was still considering whether to confess to Alice.
Because if Alice is told that she can read the words, then she will have to make up some more lies to deceive Alice.
Gervais wouldn't tell anyone about the system panel, including Alice.
……
Hearing that Ulrich was really killed by Gervais, Alice's crystal red lips moved, but after all, she still didn't speak immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Alice continued, "So, this corpse you just let people take away was originally here to assassinate you?" Probably not with the Grand Prince or Ulric? ”
"Well, I'm sure this guy wasn't with the eldest prince and them, otherwise if they swarmed up at that time, I would definitely not be spared."
Gervais nodded in the affirmative.
When he confronted the eldest prince, he saw that this man was coming from the direction of the gate, and the eldest prince and the others had been in the hall for a long time, earlier than the three of them, so this person was definitely sent by others to assassinate him.
"Is it Chakra or Avery?"
Alice asked, thinking for a moment.
"It is very likely that this guy can enter the third floor of Glory Manor, and his strength is at least a bronze high-level knight, then it is definitely not something that ordinary people can command!"
"If it's a nobleman, this is easy to check, and when I see His Majesty the King later, let him order the soldiers guarding the city to check the entry records against the city, and you can quickly find out the identity of this person."
Alice said lightly.
After a pause, he continued: "Gervais, when you meet the king later, you must flatly deny that you killed Ulek, and you must not give anyone a chance to punish you with the laws of nobility!" ”
To be honest, Gervais killing Charles can be regarded as a breath of relief for the Jones family, after all, the two families are now rivals, just like today's camping, there must be a relationship between the Charles family behind it.
"I understand, don't worry! Alice! ”
Seeing that Alice and himself were thinking of going together, Gervais immediately answered.
Of course, Gervais also knows that even if the law cannot punish him, the Charles family will use private means to retaliate against him.
However, as long as the other party is not a blatant master to kill himself, Gervais's safety is still guaranteed.
It's a big deal that he has followed his cheap wife during this time, and when he returns to Jones, even if the Charles family is bullish, the danger will be much less.
For the Jones family, the only one who is currently stronger than the Charles family is the Count of Nemio, the Golden Knight.
As for other aspects, such as the strength of the army, etc., the Jones family is still the head of the eight earls.
"By the way, Alice, why did you come so quickly?"
Suddenly, Gervais remembered that Cod had only been out for two minutes, but Alice had already arrived, and even Ike's guards at the manor had come up at the same time as them.
"It's Caroline, she informed me that you had a conflict with the Grand Prince."
"Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Glory Manor, Cod happened to come out of it and tell me what happened inside!"
Alice gave Gervais an angry look.
"I see!"
Gervais nodded, ignoring the white eyes of his cheap wife.
Gervais didn't expect that after Caroline's woman left in a huff, she would help him move the rescuers.
……
Inside the King's Palace in the City of Glory!
The king sat expressionlessly on the throne at the head of the council hall, and below sat six counts, except for the two counts who had not yet reached the city of glory, the most powerful nobles of the Duchy of Jean were all gathered together.
No one expected that such a major emergency would occur at this juncture when the southern expedition was about to begin.
If this matter is not handled well, there will be no way to talk about this year's southern expedition, and it is more likely that they have not yet set out for the expedition, and their own side will start infighting first!
