Chapter 20 The Master used Ping A
The palace hall was built in the center of the castle, all made of black boulders without a single window, and the whole hall was as dark as a crypt, all of which was not very well lit by the magic chandeliers hanging from the roof.
Compared to the council chamber where the king of a country deals with government affairs, this is more like a secret base for a villain organization to secretly plot a plan to destroy the miรจ world. But two generations of Queen Elizabeth have worked diligently here, and there is no intention of change.
"You really look like a young eagle with wings spread right now. โ
Earl Gilbert praised Derrick, who stood in front of him and let the maid dress himself. The young Janissary Commander was not only a powerful magic knight, but also a rare beautiful man, with his white melon seed face and naturally long pink hair, which sometimes made it difficult to distinguish his gender. However, compared with those five big and three thick muscular men, a cute boy like Gilbert with beautiful looks and deep background has also become a golden beetle son-in-law who everyone in the imperial capital wants to hang home.
"You're so daring. โ
Darek was put on a magnificent crown by the maid who had belonged to his mother not long ago, and the crown made of pure gold was so heavy that it weighed down on Darik's neck. Now Derrick looked at Gilbert like a doll.
"Your Majesty, you may not understand me yet, and you can punish me when you are crowned king, but now you must follow my advice, knowing that I will guard the country in my own way. โ
Gilbert said with a slight bow to Darik and a smile.
"Are you trying to rebel?"
A loud roar sounded in the hall, but the owner of this roar was really unbearable, and his fat and strong body was now being carried like a chicken, hanging in the air and unable to move.
"My son Hassan, don't hurry up and put down our beloved Duke. โ
Gilbert looked at Duke Henry, who was brought back to the council hall by Hassan, and the smile on his face became even brighter, and he walked up to Hassan, patted the other man on the shoulder and pretended to say.
"Of course~"
Hassan shrugged, then casually threw the Duke he was carrying to the ground.
"Father!"
Darik trotted all the way to pick up Duke Henry, who had been dumped on the ground like garbage by Hassan, grabbed him by the arm and shouted.
"Ahem, don't be afraid, Darik, like a man. โ
Duke Henry touched Derick's head and comforted him, he had already taken the lead in connecting with the black-clothed warrior sent by Diana on the way, but he never expected that Gilbert didn't know where to invite a strong guy to die, and he directly overturned his guards by himself, and then kidnapped himself here.
"Your Royal Highness, we all understand the truth that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and I hope you can cooperate with our actions and don't do anything stupid. โ
Gilbert took a rolled-up bulletin from the attendant behind him and handed it to Henry.
"What is this, what? Even if you want Derrick to take the throne, I can't agree to it!"
Henry took the bulletin from Gilbert, took out a pair of small unilateral reading glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on his eyes, he thought that Gilbert was just doing this because he was young and vigorous, and liked a young man like Derrick to be his monarch. But the other party is obviously not as simple as Henry thought.
"To set up a council of nobles, the emperor's edict must be supported by more than half of the parliament before it can be passed?
Henry tore the proclamation in his hand to shreds a few times, threw it to the ground, and said with a sarcastic smile, this so-called "proclamation of the new emperor's accession to the throne" is only saying that because the new emperor is still young and needs someone to help him make the right choice and govern the country better, but in fact, it is touching the most fundamental power of the royal family - the supreme and unquestionable status of the imperial power.
"Gilbert, you have a bright future ahead of now, don't do anything out of the ordinary on the spur of the moment. What do you want? Money, I can reward you, status, I can seal you. But don't try to touch the power of the royal family. โ
Henry opened his arms and spoke to Gilbert like a father who wanted the prodigal son to return.
"Listen to Gilbert, whether it is Derick or Elizabeth ascending the throne, I can bestow you the title of Marquis on their behalf, and if you want, it is not impossible to marry Elizabeth to you, be my son-in-law, and inherit my dukeship. โ
"No need, dear father-in-law. โ
Gilbert used to respond to Henry's tempting conditions, but it was the blood-stained thin sword in his hand, and Henry, who was still painting a beautiful picture to the other party at the last moment, didn't even have time to scream, and was pierced through the soft throat by a sudden sword from Gilbert, and his strong body like a bear fell backwards with the action of the other party pulling out a silk scarf to wipe the sword body, and passed away with a pair of puzzled eyes.
"Gilbert, this is not what was planned!"
Seeing Gilbert who suddenly hurt people, the nobles who were also from the Derick faction on the side couldn't calm down anymore, it was a good thing to support the new emperor, and they were also happy to see that Gilbert could set up the aristocratic council in Gilbert's mouth, but assassinating the Duke of the Empire was really a rebellion, this was not their original intention.
"We're accomplices, guys. โ
Gilbert retracted the sword into the scabbard at his waist and said faintly to the people around him.
"I didn't plan to kill His Highness Henry! it's just you-"
Gilbert drew his sword back and pointed the tip of his sword at the other man's constricted throat, looking coldly at the young nobleman who was the first to jump out to refute.
"Our names were signed together on this bulletin. โ
What had just been torn apart by Henry was nothing more than a copy, and Gilbert took the genuine proclamation that actually signed the names of dozens of imperial nobles from his clothes and showed it to everyone present.
"Now we have committed the felony of the Nine Clans, but everyone, as long as the council is established according to this contract, no one can convict us except ourselves, this is the only way to live, everyone, there is no turning back. โ
"You're the only one who has no way back, it's just a faint soul!"
The door of the council chamber was kicked open, and a roar that made people's hearts tremble and rage rang out from the hearts of everyone present.
"Hassan dear. โ
Gilbert didn't even look at Nagi, who was standing at the gate with Elizabeth at this moment, and the group of black-clothed warriors who followed them to kill them in a mighty way, just lightly gave Hassan an an order.
"Do you know that it's rude not to listen to others!"
However, this time, Hassan, who was deeply trusted by Gilbert, failed to fulfill his order, and Nagi used the same flashing technique as Hassan to appear directly next to Gilbert, and then punched him hard in the face.
"That's a lot of strength, Miss Maid. โ
Gilbert's face was slightly crooked by Nagi's punch, but he immediately grabbed Nagi's wrist with his backhand and slammed it upwards mercilessly.
There was a click, and Nagi's hand was instantly dislocated by Gilbert.
"It's just going to hurt you. โ
Before Nagi could react because of the pain, Gilbert immediately turned the thin sword that was originally against the throat of the aristocratic young man and pierced Nagi's throat.
"Ahem. โ
Nagi coughed up a mouthful of blood, and she looked at Gilbert with remorse and bewilderment.
"Lie to your idiot!"
Obviously pierced through the throat by the rapier, Nagi suddenly winked at Gilbert as if nothing happened, and then instantly recovered the dislocated wrist and smashed another punch into the other party's face.
As a mage, it's still a disadvantage to play a melee class in a confined environment like the Council Chamber, not to mention that you can't use AOE to accidentally injure a target like Derick Elizabeth who has little combat power, but Nagi doesn't believe in this evil.
Even if it's right, ordinary attacks can only knock out one blood, so what?,Today, we're going to kill your group of souls.,Ahhh
