"My two esteemed guests, where are you going?"
Before Saint Prospero and his sister could run out of the main hall, Prince William appeared at the entrance.
Behind him stood the Silvermoon Guard.
The Earl Of Avon stopped in his tracks and suddenly laughed, "Your Highness, to be honest, this plan is a little too crude."
Prince William looked puzzled, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand. "
Then, he took a few steps forward and asked, "Where's His Majesty? Why are there only the two of you? "
Anna's beautiful face stiffened. She was about to speak, but was stopped by her brother.
At this moment, Prince William had already walked into the hall. Then, he found the corpse.
"Duke Müller! What happened to you? "
Seeing Prince William running towards the corpse, the Earl Of Avon shook his head and laughed coldly, "Your Highness, your acting is really terrible."
Prince William ignored the Earl Of Avon's mockery. Instead, he turned around and ordered the guards, "These two people killed Duke Müller. Take them down immediately!"
"Yes!" The guards answered loudly. Then, they drew their swords and surrounded the Saint Prospero siblings.
Bang!
Anna immediately drew the broadsword on her back and slammed it on the ground. She growled, "Let's see who's going to die first!"
However, the Earl Of Avon shook his head at his sister, "Don't, Anna. There's no need for that."
"But, brother, these half-elves set us up!"
"Haha, it's just a clumsy framing." The Earl Of Avon still looked confident, "Listen to me. Put down your weapons. Nothing will happen."
Anna frowned and stared at her brother for a long time. Finally, she sighed and put away the huge broadsword.
The Earl Of Avon did not seem to be aware that he was about to become a prisoner. He smiled and said to Prince William, "Alright, Your Highness. Can you bring us to see His Majesty now?"
Prince William ignored him. Instead, he ordered, "Lock them up in prison and keep them under strict surveillance!"
"Yes!"
The Earl Of Avon raised his eyebrows and sneered, "What? Does His Majesty not even have the courage to meet us?"
Prince William still did not answer.
The Earl Of Avon rolled his eyes and said, "Hehe, it seems that what happened yesterday was not a small matter! Hmm, let me guess … "
At this time, a guard had already walked behind the Earl Of Avon and locked his hands behind his back with iron chains.
However, the Earl Of Avon did not seem to care and he continued, "Since you have the courage to put us in prison, could it be that … Vera has been assassinated?"
Prince William was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect the Earl Of Avon to be able to guess this.
However, he still did not speak.
Before this, the old king had emphasized that William must be careful of the Earl Of Avon. He also told him not to believe any of his promises.
Therefore, Prince William faithfully carried out his father's orders and did not dare to violate them.
"Ha! I guessed it right! "The Earl Of Avon noticed that Prince William was stunned and he smiled proudly.
Then, he said in a tempting tone, "Your Royal Highness, if Miss Vera is really dead, then you can't arrest us. At this time, the Eastern Region is the only thing you can rely on! "
Prince William seemed to have become a puppet and he did not respond to the Earl Of Avon.
"Your Royal Highness, I have a way to help you solve your current problem! Really! As long as you take us to see His Majesty the King! "
Prince William felt that the Earl of the Eastern Region was really noisy. He waved at the guards and motioned them to speed up.
"Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness! Believe me, I am the only one who can help you now! You go and tell His Majesty that I have a way to stop the Northern Frontier from sending troops … "
When the Saint Prospero siblings were taken out of the hall, Prince William was still thinking about the last words of the Earl Of Avon.
Does he really have a way?
Just as Prince William was stunned, the old king appeared behind him: "Do you really think he has a way to help us?"
"Father … I …" Prince William hesitated but he decided to answer truthfully, "I think we can listen to the Earl Of Avon's advice. Maybe he really has a way …"
"Hmph! Idiot! " The old king interrupted without hesitation, "If you really want to listen to his advice, then you have fallen into his trap!"
Prince William lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
The old king sighed and explained: "You must be careful when dealing with such a smart person. Especially when the other party tells you that he can help you.
Every time this happens, you have to stop and think carefully about whether your position is the same as his position. If not, then don't listen to him!
Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be betrayed by him without knowing it! "
"Yes, Father." Prince William nodded again and again. When he saw that his father's anger had subsided, he asked carefully: "What should we do with the siblings?"
"Lock them up first! Don't neglect their meals and drinks, but don't let them have any contact with the outside world! "
"Yes."
— — —
Clang!
The heavy iron door fell, completely isolating the Saint Prospero siblings from the outside world.
The Earl Of Avon looked around his cell and nodded with a smile: "The environment is not bad. Other than the lack of windows, everything is quite complete."
Anna looked at her brother's calm face and could not remain calm: "Hurry up and think of a way, brother! Are we just going to wait for death here? "
"Haha, don't be afraid! The House of Medea won't dare to kill us. "
"Then why do they want to lock us up?"
"Bargaining chips."
"What bargaining chips?"
The Earl Of Avon sat down at the round table and sniffed the water bottle. He was disappointed when he found that it was not wine.
After pouring a glass of water for himself and his sister, the Earl said calmly: "Do you remember that I told you before that the Duke Of St. Hilde has a winning strategy?"
"Yes, it is to let Vera die in Silvermoon City. Could it be that … you guessed it right? "
"I think so."
"Then what does this have to do with catching the both of us?"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." The Earl Of Avon took a sip of water and said, "Although I guessed that Vera would die in Silvermoon City, I did not guess the murderer."
"The murderer who killed Vera?"
"Yes." The Earl Of Avon's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Anna, who was familiar with her brother, knew very well that the Earl Of Avon was excited. This was the kind of excitement one would get when they met their match.
The Earl Of Avon was indeed very excited, as if he had found a fun game: "I thought that the Duke Of St. Hilde would send someone from the wedding procession to kill Vera, such as Viscount Angley or some other hidden assassin.
After all, this was the easiest way to arrange.
However, I did not expect that the Duke Of St. Hilde would actually find someone from the Miller family to be the murderer!
How did he do it?
It was too clever!
In this way, not only did he successfully find an excuse to send troops to Silvermoon City, but he also completely cleared himself of suspicion. It would be difficult for everyone to suspect that the Duke Of St. Hilde was the mastermind behind the scenes.
This shows that the Duke Of St. Hilde has been plotting against the half-elf kingdom for a long time. Haha, the Eastern Region did not lose in vain! "
Anna was at a loss as she listened.
"How do you know that the murderer is from the Miller family?"
