Chapter 443: Throne Counderer!
Only two of the dozen or so guards at the gate were silver knights, and they really couldn't stop Gervais.
However, it was in the palace, and Gervais was not sure that he would be able to escape from the towering walls.
The title knight is not an immortal, so he can't fly, but he just says that if he is blessed with fighting energy, he can jump higher than ordinary people.
Like today's Gervais, he can jump more than four meters high with all his might, which is already the limit.
The walls of the palace were more than twenty meters high, and Gervais estimated that even the Golden Knight would be enough to choke on unless there was some other way to assist.
……
Led by the maid, Gervais walked through the corridor, where Gervais did not find anything special, but there were many more guards guarding him.
And when Gervais walked to the door of the banquet hall, he saw what had happened.
At this moment, a young man in the hall was sitting on the seat that originally belonged to King Hayden, and King Hayden was pale and was guarded by two knights with titles and sat on the chair below.
"Father, you don't have to scold me! You forced me to do this! ”
"I was only born a year later than my waste brother, why can he become the heir, and I have been better than him since I was a child, but I will never get this throne!"
The young man was the second prince of the Duchy of Alban, and Gervais did not pay much attention to him during the meal, because the two princes did not say a word during the meal, and did not have any contact with them.
Through the words of the two princes, Gervais knew that tonight's palace was a drama of the prince's throne.
Gervais was standing at the door of the banquet hall at the moment, and no one inside paid attention to him, only a few guards at the door looked at him vigilantly.
Gervais was also interested, and was ready to see how things unfolded, so he slowly walked to the back of the noble crowd under the watchful eyes of several guards.
At this moment, the expressions of the nobles in this banquet hall were uncertain, and it was obvious that the matter of the second prince's enthronement was also something they had not expected, which brought them a lot of fright.
Of course, not all nobles are like this, Gervais can see that there are two counts standing on both sides of the second prince at the moment, and it is estimated that these two people are the ones who support the second prince.
"You brute, he's your own brother, how can you do it?"
King Hayden's eyes were scarlet, and his hands were bruised, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Hearing this, Gervais found that there was a person lying in a pool of blood next to King Hayden, although he couldn't see his face, but judging from the clothes on his body, Gervais knew that this person was the eldest prince of the Duchy of Alban.
The eldest prince had just sat across from him, and had a drink with the ten of them, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of his younger brother now.
It is said that these two princes are really ruthless, they actually killed their brother in front of King Hayden and all the condemned people, and then prepared to seek the throne.
"I'm sorry father, I can't feel at ease if he doesn't die, but don't worry, I won't hurt his wife and children!"
The second prince's face was indifferent.
"Then you can kill me together! Otherwise, if I find a chance, I will kill you, a wicked beast!" ”
King Hayden was very excited, and he was no longer as imposing as Gervais had seen before.
But this is also very understandable, when he met his own children Xiao Wall, he died tragically in front of him, and no one could accept it.
"Father, I'm not going to kill you! Because you are my father! ”
"I want you to witness how I defeated the Duchy of Jean, how I ruled the continent, and established the glorious hegemony of our Harold family."
"Then you'll know what I'm doing for what!"
At this time, the second prince stood up, his hands open, and said his ambitions and ideals very confidently.
Gervais didn't know if the second prince of the Duchy of Albane really had this in itself, but he was sure of one thing.
These two princes must be a bigoted, self-centered person, this kind of person is the most dangerous, unscrupulous in doing things, and also reckless.
After talking about his ambitions, the second prince was probably not ready to say anything more to King Hayden, so he began to give orders to several guards.
"You take my father down and take care of it, and don't let any accidents happen!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With the order of the second prince, several guards took King Hayden and the queen and a few others down.
At this time, the second prince looked at Gervais and the others.
"What happened at today's dinner is a bit rude for you! Now, I, Arlot, Harold, would like to express my sincere apologies to all of you! ”
The second prince, Alot, changed from the arrogance he had when he had spoken to King Hayden before, and instantly became cold and polite, without the slightest indication that this man had killed his own brother a moment earlier.
"My father is already old, and his sharpness has been worn out by the years, which is why our Duchy of Alban has been invaded by the Duchy of Jean all these years!"
"And I'm ready to change that!"
"I'm not just going to make the Duchy of Jean pay for their banditry! And to conquer the whole continent! ”
"Therefore, I have no choice but to do this, only when I become the king of the Duchy of Alban, can I truly lead the Duchy of Albane to prosperity in the future!"
"Now, I want to know what you want, whether you are willing to follow me to bring the Duchy of Alban to glory!"
The second prince Alot's words became impassioned, and his burly speech was not far behind those politicians and orators in his previous life.
When the nobles below heard the words of the second prince, all of them looked at each other, all of them facing each other.
In their hearts, they did not believe that the second prince could lead the Duchy of Alban to prosperity and conquer the continent.
But now the meaning of the second prince is also very clear, that is, let everyone make a choice, choose to be loyal to him, or become his enemy.
The nobles present can be said to be the top nobles of the Duchy of Alban, and each of them can affect all aspects of the Duchy of Alban.
As long as they are all loyal to the second prince, the second prince is likely to really succeed in usurping the throne.
……
Seeing that the nobles below were slow to speak, the second prince moved his body, walked down the high platform with a long sword in his hand, and came to the front of the crowd.
Seeing this, all the nobles couldn't help but take two steps back, and only three counts in the crowd remained motionless, facing the second prince.
The second prince walked up to them with great interest, his gaze swept over the faces of the counts.
Burst!
Suddenly, without anyone being able to reach him, the second prince actually stabbed through the body of an earl with a long sword.
Slowly drew his sword under the count's incredulous gaze, then stabbed it again.
After stabbing the earl four or five times in a row, the earl finally couldn't hold it anymore.
When the second prince Alot's long sword was drawn, the whole person went limp and fell in a pool of blood.
"Ahh
Some of the ladies at the scene finally couldn't help but scream.
Fortunately, the second prince Alote did not pay attention to these exclamations, but continued to ask the crowd, "Now you have two choices, either be loyal to me, or disappear forever like the Kenny family!" ”
The dead Earl was none other than the Earl of the Kenny family, Canchell's father.
The Kenny family was originally a staunch supporter of the eldest prince, and there had been many conflicts with the second prince in the past, and at this time it happened to be the chicken owned by the second prince Alot.
And since the second prince killed the earl of the Kenny family, there will definitely be a coherent means later, and the fate of the Kenny family can be imagined.
"My Baisang family is willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"I ......"
As the first one stood up to take a stand, the other nobles were also forced to exit one after another.
At this time, they all took the poison of bellflowers, and their fighting spirit could not work, and the second prince wanted to kill them like killing chickens.
"Haha, a wise choice! In the future, you will be glad for the choice you made today! ”
"Pass my orders and hold a coronation meeting tomorrow at the palace!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Since then, the second prince has been in high spirits, and the long sword in his hand has also been put into the sheath, and as long as the coronation is completed tomorrow, then he will become the true king of the Duchy of Alban.
"If heaven really wants people to perish, we must first make it crazy!"
Gervais didn't know what this second prince thought, and now that the enemy is currently doing this kind of thing.
Even if he takes the throne, he can be the king for a few days.
Originally, there were only six counts in the Duchy of Alban, but now, the Earl of Ashhar in Maiye City was seriously injured, and the Count of the Kenny family was also killed by his own hands, plus the king also took the poison of the bellflower.
It can be said that the strength of the Duchy of Alban was weakened by more than a third in an instant.
The Duchy of Alban, which was originally unable to reach the Duchy of Jean, is now even more difficult to parry.
"Unless, there's something else going on!"
Suddenly, Gervais remembered an important role, and that was the Church (the New Temple) behind the scenes.
Gervais felt that the two princes must have relied on to dare to be so unscrupulous, so his reliance should be the church.
But the church would really help the second prince so selflessly, Gervais didn't believe it!
"Chances are, it's just a trap for the church!"
