Chapter 422: It's Time to Leave
Inside Charlottenburg Palace.
Malfoy was escorted to his office on the east side.
Fermien and Joan of Arc were here, and the wound he had just been shot had been treated simply.
"I brought him here." Lawrence said.
Fermin turned his head to look at Malfoy, who slowly walked up to Malfoy's front and looked down at him condescendingly.
"See you again, Your Highness Malfoy."
In addition to Malfoy's command of the war, he was also in charge of the intelligence system.
So in a sense, Fermin was also captured by him, and even when he first entered Fort Montjuic, Fermin suffered much more torture than Joan of Arc.
The beating was secondary, his nails were pulled out, two teeth were pried open, and they wanted to pry more information out of his mouth.
Fortunately, the Prussians did not know Fermin's true identity, but only knew that he was one of them, and seeing that there was really nothing coming out of his mouth, they let him go slightly.
Otherwise, he probably won't be able to come back alive from it.
Or, if he hadn't escaped, he would have been executed a few weeks later.
Joan of Arc was indeed lucky, and Malfoy needed to use her in exchange for tangible benefits from West Farland, so she needed to be kept intact, at least not superficially mutilated,
After the negotiation failed, Malfoy urgently needed to send her to the execution ground, so there was no special torture, and Joan of Arc's words did seem to affect Malfoy.
A few days before Joan of Arc's trial, a man entered Ferming's cell, beaten to death.
Every new person in their cell was like this, and as Joan of Arc had guessed, the cells were full.
Ferming, on the other hand, greeted the jailer generously and said that he was willing to share the cell.
That guy Ferming knew, a confidant of Wilhelm II, should have arrested Malfoy because he wanted to eliminate dissidents after a successful coup d'état.
However, Fermin didn't know it at the time, but since he was an enemy, he naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted.
In the early hours of the next morning, he covered up the guy to death.
This guy was tortured and dying when he came in, so it is very normal for him to die suddenly, and no one will suspect it.
Fort Montjuic, a place where human life is like a mustard.
The reason why it was chosen in the early hours of the morning was because that time was the time when the jailers were most tired.
When Fermin woke up the jailer to inform him that his poor fellow had died suddenly, the weary jailer opened his eyes, his heavy eyelids drooping.
At this time, Fermin volunteered to tell the jailer that he could help collect the body, and the jailer naturally agreed.
In fact, he threw a body bag to Fermin and went straight to sleep.
Fermin placed the body on the bed, blocked it with a sheet, and then hid himself in the body bag.
When the people from the cemetery came, the jailer was even sleeping.
Perhaps there has been no escape from prison for more than ten years, which made him relax his vigilance.
In fact, the use of body bags for corpses in cemeteries has been a matter of nearly two years, and it is said that it is the process of civilization and can prevent the smell of corpses.
However, in fact, they did not bury the bodies, but threw them in a mass grave, which should have been burned after a certain period of time.
Fermin thought it was a project of the prison's procurement and cemetery cooperation.
This purchase made extra money in it, but he obviously didn't expect that his practice would create such a big loophole.
With the exception of the wounds he sustained during the rough handling of the men of the Montjuïc cemetery, he escaped almost without any hindrance.
"Reacquaint yourself." "My name is Fermin Saunders," said Fermin, "and of course you should probably know my other name—Nightingale. ”
Malfoy's eyes turned red in an instant, and he tried to rush forward, but was suppressed by the soldiers.
Nightingale, the code name of the leader of the Cloth Party in the German branch obtained by their intelligence system.
However, because this code name is biased towards women, they have a preconceived idea that this leader should be a woman, so they also lean towards this aspect when investigating.
Fermin's arrest was due to a time when a woman they thought was a nightingale was in contact with Fermin.
During the arrest, the woman was shot and killed, while Fermin was arrested.
Now that I think about it, the reason why that woman is considered a nightingale may be because she is a downline responsible for conveying the news of the person in front of her.
"In Montjuic, I really took great care of you." Fermin scoffed, "At that time, you probably didn't think there would be this scene today, did you?" ”
He slowly stood up and said coldly, "The wood and burning racks in the old market square are ready-made, take him down, let him taste the punishment he has come up with." ”
Mar's face changed, he obviously didn't expect Fermin to think of killing him directly.
"Wait, you still want me to sign the edict of abdication, keeping me, it's definitely better than killing me!"
"Abdication edict, what's the use of asking you to be the crown prince?" Fermin had a sneer on his face.
He picked up a piece of paper from the table on one side and brought it to Malfoy, on which was a handwritten edict of abdication, and even signed the name of William II.
It reads:
I permanently renounce all power as King of the Kingdom of Prussia and as Emperor of Germany,
At the same time I remove from duty all civil servants of the German Empire and Prussia, all officers, sergeants, naval units, the Prussian Army, and all military units which have sworn allegiance to me as Emperor.
I hope that they will be able to help those who hold real power in Germany to protect the German people against the looming dangers of anarchy, hunger, and foreign domination until a new order is established in the German Empire.
This document is signed by me and stamped with the emperor's seal
Amerogen, 28 November 1916
William.
As the son of William II, Malfoy naturally knew the handwriting on the paper very well, and his face turned even paler.
"You found him?"
"Would you believe me if I said that as soon as we came in we found this paper on the table?" Fermin asked.
"No, no." Malfoy struggled excitedly, "It's definitely useful for you to keep me, I can help you gather the army, I can."
Lawrence stepped forward and slammed the butt of his gun into his lower back, so that he could only hold my own abdomen with a painful face.
His face had completely lost its former composure, sweating profusely, gasping for air, and even retching from fear and pain, but eventually this fear turned into hatred.
He stared at Fermin and said through gritted teeth.
"You are. How did you escape? ”
"Do you think you're the smartest in the world?" Fermin asked rhetorically.
Naturally, Malfoy didn't think he was the smartest in the world.
But he felt that there should not be many people in this world who were smarter than him.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Joan of Arc, who was standing in front of the window and quietly overlooking the city.
Joan of Arc's entry into prison coincides with Ferming's escape.
He figured out the reason almost instantly, his eyes flushed and his face bloodshot with rage.
He gritted his teeth and tried to struggle to rush towards Joan of Arc, but was held down by the rest of the group.
"Joan of Arc !!!" Malfoy roared, "I should have killed you sooner!" ”
Although Montjuïc has a special prison for women, the space and time of movement of men and women in the atrium coincide.
Joan of Arc knew this before she entered Montjuic.
So even if Joan of Arc was imprisoned in a women's prison, she still had access to Ferming.
But obviously, there will be less time for the two of them to actually have contact, and Joan of Arc will have less chance of finding the holehole in the prison.
In other words, Malfoy's self-effacing cleverness was partly responsible for Fermin's escape.
Of course, this can't blame him, Joan of Arc was given a fate by Char, she is much luckier than the average person, in other words, she has the "protagonist aura".
However, Malfoy apparently didn't think so, and for a moment, remorse and hatred filled his heart.
"Bring it down to me!" Fermin said.
Lawrence directly ordered his own soldiers to take Malfoy out of here.
Of course, they didn't burn Malfoy directly, after all, he was a crown prince, and the next country that Ferming wanted to create was based on law and order.
It is clearly not advisable to forcibly execute someone by force.
In fact, it's good that he is only a crown prince, not an emperor, otherwise it would be a bit of trouble to execute him.
After all, although Wilhelm II was also one of the main culprits of this war, the Entente was qualified to try him, and Beichen was qualified to judge him, but this new regime, which had been established on the remains of the German Empire, was not so convenient.
After all, they relied on the abdication edict left by Wilhelm II, and relied on the military and police who had sworn allegiance to Wilhelm II.
If they want to stabilize the country quickly, they also need to give the emperor some dignity.
So he quietly disappeared from the country, although it was not the best outcome, but it also saved the new regime some trouble.
And whether he should be judged is a matter for the Entente and Beichen.
They spent the night listing all Malfoy's charges and read them out in the Supreme Court as they had done with Joan of Arc.
Compared to the charges they imposed on Joan of Arc, Malfoy's charges were real.
One of the main culprits who started the war, the undoubted war criminal. Led to the death of millions of people on the battlefield.
The disabled veterans who stayed in Berlin can also testify.
So, it didn't take long for Malfoy to be dragged straight to the Old Market Square.
The reason why he dragged it was because he had no strength to move around anymore because of fear.
The streets were still full of people, still shouting for Malfoy's death.
Everything was just as it had happened to Joan of Arc the other day.
But in just a few days, the protagonist has changed a person.
However, compared to Joan of Arc's calmness when he walked to the execution ground.
The crown prince, who stayed in the command tent in the rear every day and had not even been to the wounded barracks a few times, showed his true ugliness.
He was held up by two soldiers like a swing, as if he had completely lost his bones.
His eyes were also very dazed, and he hadn't even returned from the picture he had just stood on the balcony and watched Joan of Arc being burned at the stake.
His face was pale, and he kept muttering, "It's not true, it's not true"
But the soldiers did not wait for him, and tied him to the fire rack, and once again put firewood around him and doused him with diesel.
The soldier who carried out the punishment took the torch and directly lit the firewood, and the flames instantly swallowed the firewood with the blessing of diesel fuel, and the raging flames soared several meters high.
And this time, Malfoy obviously didn't have any divine protection.
The flames heated his skin, and then, after reaching some kind of tipping point, his whole body began to spontaneously combust from within.
Screams of pain and screams that seemed to burn souls resounded throughout the square.
Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.
However, in the depths of the alleyways of the square, which no one knows.
A black-robed figure was quietly watching everything in front of him.
Beside him, another black-robed figure lowered his hood, and it was Gallant.
He stared silently at Malfoy in the distance.
"You allowed him to gather power, and even sit back and watch him rebel, you expected this scene a long time ago, right?"
The black-robed man beside him spoke slowly.
'I just gave him a chance, but obviously, he didn't have a better way to deal with it.
"You're such a ruthless father." Gallant said, "Even the abdication edict was left in advance, completely cutting off his retreat." ”
"Even if he doesn't sign it, they have a way." The black-robed man said quietly, "I'm just leaving him with one last bit of dignity." ”
"How do you feel about the complete end of the fate of the Prussian Dynasty?" Gallant said.
"Ever since I learned about the overthrow of the Britannian and West Farland royal families and the royal family of the North Star, I know a little bit better.
As the times progressed, the abolition of the monarchy was almost inevitable. The black-robed man said in a deep voice.
"This war is a kind of resistance, but obviously, my resistance has failed."
"Where are you going next?" Gallant said.
"Holland." Wilhelm II said, "Go to Queen Wilhelmina, that's my cousin, and she'll give me a manor." ”
He looked at Gallant, "Your contribution to Germany cannot be ignored, would you like to come with me to the Netherlands?" ”
Gallant turned his head to look at the city, his eyes deep and whispered.
"It's time to leave, too."
