Bailubao, banquet hall.
melodious music, delicious food, beautiful maids...none can calm the restless hearts of the guests.
The news of the assassination and death of Count Angele had already made everyone nervous. Later, when he heard the sound of fighting in the city, everyone was even more unable to sit still, thinking that it was the blood cavalry who came to the city to serve the count of Angele. With revenge, they were so scared that they were ready to leave.
The steward of the Saint-Pros family tried his best to stay, but it was still to no avail.
These nobles in the East didn't want to stay in Bailu Castle and wait for the vengeful blood cavalry to come in and bury the Saint Pros family, so they were determined to leave.
However, when they hurriedly walked to the gate of Bailubao, they found that the gate of the castle was tightly closed, and a team of heavily armed guards blocked the gate.
All the guests suddenly clamored and asked to open the door to let them leave.
But the guards were not moved at all. It seemed that they had been given a clear order that they were strictly forbidden to enter or leave.
"Who made you block the gate?"
"Is the Saint-Pros family preparing to bring all the Eastern nobles to die together?"
"Where is the Duchess? We want to see her..."
...
"I am here."
Seeing that the situation is in danger of losing control, the Duchess finally walked out.
The chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.
An eastern nobleman stepped up immediately and asked:
"Duchess, why do you forbid us to leave Bailu Castle?"
The Duchess did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Everyone, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
This kind of knowingly asked questions seemed to anger a group of nobles, and someone suddenly shouted:
"Duchess, why should you ask knowingly! The Saint Prolos family was unable to protect the guests in the White Dew Castle, resulting in the assassination of Count Angele. Now the blood cavalry is about to retaliate in the city for revenge, should we stay here? Are you waiting here to die?"
"The Blood Cavalry did not enter the city." The Duchess said lightly.
These words stunned the nobles of the East, but soon, doubts appeared on their faces, apparently thinking that the duchess was deliberately deceiving them.
"Duchess, you said that the blood cavalry did not enter the city, what's the matter with the fierce fighting outside now?"
"That was Earl Nicole who betrayed the East and was fighting the Pegasus Legion, and had nothing to do with the Blood Cavalry."
"Earl Nicol?"
"betray?"
...
A group of nobles in the East immediately whispered and talked about it. Obviously, they didn't expect this to be the case.
The Duchess took the opportunity to continue: "Yes. You don't have to worry about the blood cavalry at all, because although the news of the death of Count Angele has been spread, there has been no movement in the blood cavalry camp so far.
Obviously, the generals of the blood cavalry are all sensible people, and will not make irrational actions under impulse.
Some people deliberately use the death of Count Angele to provoke the relationship between the Saint-Pros family and the blood cavalry, and even with the Northern Territory. Their intentions are extremely sinister, but not everyone will be fooled!
The death of Count Anglia, of course, our St. Pros family has the responsibility and will certainly make the necessary compensation, but now that the orc invasion is imminent, the first thing we must do is to unite as one and not continue to fight.
I believe that the blood cavalry will also understand this point.
Therefore, your worries are unnecessary.
The current riots in Bailu City were only initiated by the Nicole family, and the situation is already under the control of the Pegasus Legion. You don't need to be so nervous at all. "
After these words, the expressions of the guests obviously relaxed a lot.
They are all people who have witnessed the terrible fighting power of the blood cavalry. They have long been psychologically shadowed, but if it hadn't been for the blood cavalry to enter the city, then they would not have been so scared.
The Nicol family rebellion?
is not easy to settle down yet.
But some people also questioned: "The Duchess, since the Pegasus Legion has been able to control the situation in the city, why are you so nervously closing the Bailu Castle and prohibiting entry and exit?"
The Duchess glanced at the nobleman who was talking, her face also gloomy, and said coldly:
"Of course it is to prevent the murderer who assassinated Earl Anglia from taking the opportunity to leave Bailu Castle!"
This is a high-sounding reason.
The guests who came by didn't even know that Colin was already a Tier VI knight, otherwise he would definitely shout wronged.
To be able to assassinate a Tier 6 knight, you should have at least Tier 5 strength, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to get close at all.
And the fifth-order knights are not Chinese cabbage, there are not many at all.
When everyone calmed down, the Duchess spoke again:
"Next, I will personally ask you about your whereabouts tonight, if you are offended, please forgive me, I believe everyone also wants to find out the murderer of Count Angele as soon as possible."
Seeing that there was no objection, the Duchess was just about to start "inquiring", but saw a guard rushing over, with an unconcealable panic on her face.
The Duchess couldn't help but feel a rush of anger in her heart.
There have been too many emergencies tonight, she has already been devastated, and never wants to see more accidents.
But unfortunately, the accident still came.
The guard greeted the duchess’ stern gaze, bit the bullet and walked to the front, whispering reports:
"Madam, Marquis Vincent...he...unfortunately passed away..."
Hearing this, the Duchess was relieved. The death of Marquis Vincent was actually in her expectation, oh no, it was planned.
Of course, on the surface, she immediately put on a distressed look and choked to everyone:
"Everyone... I'm really sorry... Vincent still couldn't make it... I just passed away badly wounded..."
After listening, the guests were taken aback for a while, and then they hurriedly expressed their comfort.
But the guard on the side was dumbfounded, hesitated for a moment, and reminded quietly:
"Madam, I am afraid that the Marquis did not die seriously, but was just killed..."
The Duchess narrowed her eyes, stared at the guard coldly, and scolded: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded: "Madam, how dare I talk nonsense, but the head of the Marquis-sama has been screwed off..."
The duchess' complexion changed drastically, and UU reading immediately strode towards the room of the Marquis of Vincent.
, leaving a group of guests stunned in place, looking at each other.
...
The Duchess came to the Marquis Vincent’s room with a sullen face, and she saw the body of her son in a different place.
Although she herself wished that the Marquis of Vincent would die sooner, it was definitely not in this way.
"What happened at that time?" The duchess' voice was cold.
The guard replied tremblingly: "Madam, all the guards who were guarding outside the house had been killed at that time. When the patrol in the castle found that something was wrong and opened the door to enter, the Lord Marquis had been killed.
Oh, by the way, Mrs. Beatrice was in the room at the time and was also killed. "
The Duchess only noticed the existence of Beatrice, a pleasant sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared quickly.
She walked slowly to the body of the Marquis of Vincent, ready to check the situation.
But just when the Duchess squatted down, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis behind her.
Huo Ran turned her head and saw that Beatrice, who was supposed to be dead, jumped on herself.
The dagger in his hand is shining with a cold light!
