"What did you say?!"
The Duke of Saint-Pros immediately let go of his wife, and instead grabbed the butler by the collar with a grim look.
Under the duke's cannibal gaze, the old butler had no choice but to tell tremblingly:
"Master, according to Master Vincent’s report, when the master rushed to the Hall family manor, he happened to meet a group of people from the North who were holding the Hall family’s people and preparing to flee. Surrounded, and then personally fought with the people in the North...
But for a moment, the young master was killed by a man from the north who was wearing a red armor..."
"People from the North?" The Duke of St. Pros pulled the butler to the edge of the balcony, and pointed to the east city and shouted, "Look carefully, the blood cavalry hasn't broken through the Pegasus Legion's defense line, how can it be killed? The Hall family is still trying to hold them to escape?"
"Master, I don't know. It may be a group of northern assassins who sneaked in secretly, not blood cavalry soldiers..."
"How many of them are there?"
"According to reports, there are probably dozens of people..."
"Just so few people, are you all stupid pigs!"
The Duke of St. Pros was furious, leaving the butler still on the ground, and then rushed out like an angry bull.
The duchess watched her husband's back gradually disappear at the end of the promenade, her eyes turned to the butler who had been shrinking in the corner and had not yet eased her breath, and asked:
"Where are Molly and Eckert? Did they return to the Hall family?"
Molly in the duchess population is actually the wife of the Marquis of Vincent, and Eckert is the son of the Marquis of Vincent.
"No, ma'am, they are still in the Bailu Castle now."
"Well, send someone to stare at them, don't let them leave the castle."
"Yes."
After the housekeeper stepped back, the Duchess stood on the balcony and looked at the direction of the Hall family, touching the black green on her wrist which had just been grabbed by her husband, her face became a little unpredictable.
...
Hall family.
The fierce fighting has stopped, and the number of North Border Assassins who rushed in were not many, and they were soon killed or subdued by the supporting Pegasus Legion.
But after achieving such a victory, no one of the soldiers in the East was able to laugh.
Because the Marquis of Vincent died!
The extremely suppressed atmosphere enveloped the sky over the manor, as if a prelude to the approaching storm.
The knight Muffat's face looked gloomy as if water could drip out. He resisted the anger and fear in his heart, and shouted at the woman in front of him:
"Mrs. Delin, how did these northerners appear in the Hall Family Manor?"
Mrs. Delin, the wife of Earl Hall, the current principal of the Hall family in Bailu City, said calmly:
"Master Muffat, how did these northerners sneak into Bailu City? Shouldn't you ask the Pegasus Legion?"
Knight Muffat didn't want to take this scapegoat, and immediately asked with a sneer:
"Mrs. Delin, who do you think you can hide? Your Hall family has long been in collusion with the North, and what Earl Hall did in Clover City is a naked betrayal of the East!
And this time the blood cavalry rushed into Bailu City, the goal was directed at your family's manor, hehe, what they want to do, isn't it obvious! "
"I don't know what the people in the North want to do, but don't try to slander the Hall family!"
"Then why are you all with your luggage?" Muffat knight sneered. "It's so late, are you still planning to go out?"
Mrs. Delin suddenly suffocated and could not speak.
Knight Muffat took the opportunity to intimidate and said: "Mrs. Delin, the Duke has not yet judged you. I just want to give you the Hall family a chance to reform. So, don't try to quibble anymore, tell me , Have these people from the north got in touch with you a long time ago?"
Mrs. Delin struggled for a while, and finally gritted her teeth after a long while: "Master Muffat, do you know who made us ready to escape?"
"Who?"
"Marquis Vincent!"
"Marquis Vincent?" Knight Muffat didn't expect to get such an answer from the Delinf population, but his first reaction was--
This woman is lying.
Therefore, he snorted and said with disdain: "Mrs. Delin, it is not a smart choice to pour dirty water on a knight who has just died bravely."
"But that's the truth!" Madame Delin insisted, "The Marquis of Vincent asked Molly to inform us that if you see knights in red armor, follow them!"
The Muffat knight stared into Mrs. Delin's eyes, and the other side stared at her without flinching.
Instinctively told Knight Muffat that Mrs. Delin had not lied.
But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the Marquis of Vincent had planned to help the Hall family escape?
This is too ridiculous!
What's more absurd is that the Marquis of Vincent actually died in the battle to prevent the Hall family from fleeing...
Knight Muffat was speechless for a while-how could he almost be deceived by such inconsistent and flawed lies just now?
"Mrs. Delin, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude..."
Before the Muffat Knight began to resort to the stubborn Madam Delin, there was a burst of greetings outside the manor:
"Master Duke!"
The knight Muffat's heart shuddered, no longer caring about Mrs. Delin, and immediately strode out.
Before he could walk to the entrance of the manor, he saw that the Duke of Saint-Pros had already strode in.
"Master Duke!"
Knight Muffat immediately bowed and saluted, and then heard the low and hoarse voice of the Duke of Saint-Pros:
"where?"
"It's in the hall." The Muffat knight hurriedly led the way.
I thought that the Duke of St. Pros would inquire about the specific situation, but found that the other party was just walking forward in silence, even when passing by Mrs. Delin, he did not stop.
Entering the hall, the Duke of Saint-Pros found that his son's body had been collected and placed in a crystal coffin.
He walked a few steps closer and saw Vincent lying there peacefully. If it weren't for the hideous wound on his chest, everyone would think he was just asleep.
Seeing that the Duke of St. Pros was standing in front of the coffin for a long time without speaking, the Muffat knight quietly winked at the guards in the hall, and then took the lead and retreated, leaving this place for the Duke of St. Pros and his son.
The howling cold wind kept pouring into the hall, and also brought the sound of fighting in the distance.
The Duke of St. Pros was standing alone in front of the coffin, and suddenly felt a burst of heart-wrenching sorrow, as well as boundless remorse and self-blame.
Only when you lose can you know how to cherish.
Facing Vincent's body at this time, the Duke of Saint-Pros finally realized that Vincent was actually his best heir.
Looking at Evan's recent series of performances, is it really better than Vincent?
Not to mention the innocent and unreliable Anna At least when Bailu City was in crisis, only the eldest son Vincent was still here to help him develop strategies against the enemy, even committing risks himself. Fight to death...
The writhing contrite hesitation ants are generally addicted to biting the heart of the Duke of Saint-Pros.
If you didn't listen to the slander and insisted on safeguarding the inheritance status of the eldest son, you would not have been seized by outsiders to stir up chaos in the East, and you would not fall into the situation of losing your beloved son.
In grief, the Duke of Saint-Pros couldn't help tearing his eyes.
In the blurred vision, the Duke of Saint-Pros seemed to notice that his son's body moved. He thought he had an illusion because of excessive grief, but the next second, a sharp pain came from his chest.
The Duke of Saint-Pros suddenly widened his eyes and saw his son who should have died staring at him!
And in his hand, he was holding a jet-black dagger.
The dagger pierced the crystal coffin wall and inserted it into the chest of the Duke of Saint-Pros!
