Just as Anthony and his men rushed into the palace, something completely unexpected happened in the palace. This was one of the reasons why Anthony was able to rush into the city so easily.
City of God's Blessing, the palace. The palace, which was supposed to be very quiet, was now in chaos. The entire palace was now full of people. Upon closer inspection, all of them were wearing the armor of the Royal Guards. However, what was strange was that they were pointing their weapons at one person. Judging by the person's attire, he should be the owner of the palace, the king of the San Felipe Empire, Rein von Landsbeck.
King Rein should be 55 years old this year, but he did not look that old. At first glance, he looked like he was in his forties. He had taken very good care of himself. Moreover, from his body shape, one could tell that this person paid a lot of attention to exercise. He was very strong, and one could tell that he was very strong.
Rein was now standing in the middle of the palace. He was wearing a set of casual clothes and holding a long sword in his hand. Although it was only a simple outfit, it still revealed an amazing aura, as if it was going to make people kneel down. There were already thousands of soldiers surrounding him. All of them were pointing their spears at him, but none of them dared to step forward. Even the people in front of them showed a timid look.
A thousand against one, this group of soldiers still revealed a fearful expression, but Lei Yin seemed to have the upper hand. He fearlessly faced this group of people and stood there in high spirits. Upon closer inspection, there were already a few soldiers lying on the ground at his feet. Judging from the wounds, they were all soldiers who were killed by Rein with a single slash.
With a "ta" sound, King Rein took a slight step forward, and the soldiers around him immediately became nervous. Even the spears in their hands began to tremble.
Just when the soldiers felt like they were going to collapse without a fight, a voice suddenly came from inside the palace, instantly silencing the soldiers.
"Your Highness, you should give up." The person who spoke walked out from the side door. It was a middle-aged male NPC who looked to be in his forties. His body was slightly thin, but overall, he looked quite comfortable. He spoke with a smile on his face, which made the soldiers around him feel a lot more at ease.
"Shawnt!" King Ryan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he shouted angrily at the man who had just appeared.
"Your Highness, although you have outstanding martial prowess, as a king, you are not qualified at all. Look around, is there still a person standing on your side?" Shawnt pointed to the surroundings and said plainly.
"A king is lonely," Rene said.
"You're wrong. No matter how strong a person is, he's not omnipotent. A king should be able to unite all the useful people to his side." Shawn said, "Just like you, now standing here, only one person, can't do anything."
"The least I can do is kill you." Rayin said confidently. Although there were hundreds of soldiers between the two of them, Rayin was still confident.
"Is that so? Pull it out. " Shawnt wasn't very nervous. With a gentle wave of his hand, a few guards immediately appeared beside him and pulled out a large number of men and women who were tied up with ropes.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Rene!"
A few of them immediately began to shout when they saw Rene. However, because they were being held back by the soldiers, they could only struggle a little. It was useless.
When Rene saw the people who were being held back, his body and soul were torn apart. This was none other than his queen, his concubines, three princes, and four princesses. All of them had been captured by Shawnt. Rene, who was just about to attack, immediately stopped.
"Your Highness Marquis, we've caught all of them." A leading general walked to Shawnt's side and reported seriously.
Shawnt Filmus, also known as Marquis Filmus, was the commander of the Fourth Legion. No one had expected that Filmus would launch a coup in the palace at this time, forcing Rene to abdicate.
Looking at the people who had been captured, Filmus nodded. Everyone was present, and not a single one had escaped.
"Heather, why haven't you left?" Rene looked at his queen and asked curiously. In the morning, he felt that something was wrong and was a little vigilant. Just now, when he heard that the palace guards had rushed into the palace, he immediately asked Queen Heather to escape with her children through the secret passage. He didn't expect that everyone would be captured. This was a secret of the royal family. It was impossible for outsiders to know. The only explanation was that Heather might not have left, or she had returned.
"Your Highness, it's Fantine!" Heather suddenly said.
"Fantine?" Rene asked curiously.
As they spoke, "Fantine" had already walked out. Unlike the other princesses, Fantine wasn't tied up with ropes, and she didn't look like a captive either. She just walked to Marquis Filmus normally and called out softly, "Father."
"What? Fantine, you! "Rene couldn't believe it at all. What happened to her daughter? Was she being controlled?
"Leticia, well done." Filmus said with a smile, then took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Leticia. "Change your face back first. Otherwise, our Highness won't know what's going on."
"Yes, Father." Leticia nodded and took a sip of the medicine. Then, to everyone's surprise, Leticia's face changed continuously, and then slowly changed from "Fantine" to the face of another person that everyone knew, Leticia Filmus.
"This … this is Transformation Potion!" Rene immediately knew what was going on. Then, he thought of the time when his daughter, Fantine, was assassinated ten days ago. This … this was definitely Filmus's plan.
"Yes, I originally wanted Leticia to sneak into the palace and find a chance to assassinate you. Unfortunately, Fantine is a princess who doesn't go out, and you rarely go to see her. I originally wanted to poison you, but I really couldn't find a chance, so I had to change the plan a little. Now that your Old Pao and your children are in my hands, Your Highness, what do you want to do?" Filmus said with a smile.
"Your Highness, don't worry about us!" Queen Heather immediately shouted. "The San Felipe Empire has been founded for a hundred years. How can it be destroyed in your hands? Our deaths are not to be regretted, as long as you …"
"Pa!" Before Heather could finish his words, Leticia walked over and slapped Heather in the face. Her slap was so heavy that Heather started to bleed. Heather looked up at Leticia in surprise. Leticia knew Leticia too. She liked to come to the palace to play with her daughters, especially Fantine. She was usually a well-behaved girl, but she didn't expect her to be so fierce now.
She thought about how she didn't recognize that Fantine was fake. On the one hand, Fantine didn't like to go out, and even as her mother, she rarely went out. She had eight daughters, and she really didn't have time to take care of them one by one. On the other hand, Leticia definitely took the initiative to get close to Fantine. She pretended to be so subtle that even Leticia couldn't recognize her. This woman was really scheming.
"Heather!" Seeing his wife being slapped, Rein's hands trembled. If he could, he would immediately go up and hack Leticia to death.
"Try to persuade your husband. I still have a lot of respect for Aunt Heather. I don't want to see you die in front of me," Leticia said coldly.
"Pfft." Heather spat a mouthful of blood on Leticia's face. "You want to kill me? Hurry up!"
"Ah …" Leticia wiped the blood on her face, and then pulled out her rapier without any warning. She aimed it at the thigh of the third prince, Depp, who was next to her, and stabbed it directly through his thigh.
"Depp!" Queen Heather's divine form cracked, and she immediately struggled. Unfortunately, the soldiers behind her grabbed her, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.
The third prince, Depp, was six years old this year. He was completely a child. When he was just caught, he pretended to be calm and forced himself not to cry. But now that his thigh was directly pierced by a sword, he couldn't help but burst into tears. "Ah!! It hurts! It hurts so much! Father! Father, save me! Dulken is in so much pain! "
"Leticia! Do you still have any humanity?! " Heather couldn't break free. Hearing Dulken's heart-wrenching cries, he immediately yelled at Leticia.
"I just want you to understand the current situation. Seeing that you don't understand, I can only use my actions to tell you, "Leticia said casually. Leticia said casually, "Do you understand now, Deken, my little prince? Hurry up and shout louder. Ask your father to surrender quickly so that we don't have to work so hard, don't you think so?"
"Dulken, if you are still a prince of the empire, you should shut up immediately!" the first prince, Jude Law, suddenly said.
"Oh, the first prince is very strong-willed. I wonder if his body can handle it?" Leticia said as she raised her rapier and gestured at Jude Law's chest.
"Come on!" Jude Law looked at Leticia angrily, and said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Alright, I'll try."
Just as Leticia was about to make her move, a loud shout suddenly came from the entrance of the palace.
"Lord Marquis, something bad has happened!" This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the palace. Fillmu's face darkened as he turned to the entrance. It turned out to be his subordinate, Blount. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly saw a person in Blount's hand, who seemed to be seriously injured and covered in blood. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt.
"Ed!" Fillmu suddenly recognized him. Isn't this my eldest son, Ed? Didn't he go to encircle the Second Legion? Why is he here, and he looks like he's injured all over. This … this …
For a moment, Fillmu felt that his plan seemed to have derailed.
