"Isn't it obvious?"
The Earl Of Avon spread his hands, as if he felt that there was no need to explain.
"The Duke Müller was killed and his body was thrown there as a prop to frame us. Doesn't this mean that the Miller family has been completely abandoned?
Why were they abandoned?
Obviously, it's because someone from the Miller family killed Vera. "
Anna nodded, but she was still puzzled. "Why would the Miller family kill Vera? Were they bribed by the Duke Of St. Hilde? "
"This is why I admire the Duke Of St. Hilde!" The Earl Of Avon's eyes flashed with a strange light again. "You have to know that the murderer of the Miller family risked his life to help the Duke Of St. Hilde!"
"So, you can't guess why the Miller family would help the Duke Of St. Hilde?"
"How can I guess?" The Earl Of Avon shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm not a god."
"Then, what does this have to do with us? You still haven't said why the King wants to arrest us. "
The Earl Of Avon laughed. "Think about it. Since Vera has died in Silvermoon City, the Army of the North has an excuse to send troops.
So, what should the House of Medea do? "
Anna thought for a while, and then she said, "They definitely can't stop the Army of the North from entering Silvermoon City. So, they can only find a scapegoat to bear the anger of the Duke Of St. Hilde."
"That's right!" The Earl Of Avon snapped his fingers and nodded. "First of all, the Miller family is definitely doomed. No matter who the murderer is, this family must be destroyed. The blood of the House of Saint Hilde is not that easy to stain.
However, the Duke of St. Hilde's anger might not be completely extinguished by the Miller family.
This was especially true for the House of Medea. Since Vera had died in the Half Elven Palace, they would definitely have to bear some responsibility.
If I were the Duke Of St. Hilde, I would definitely use this opportunity to remove the royal status of the House of Medea and replace it with a half-elf noble as the master of Silvermoon City.
This way, the new royal family would have to rely on the power of the House of Saint Hilde to control the half-elven kingdom, unlike the House of Medea, which constantly wavered between the Eastern and Northern Frontier to please both sides.
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, the House of Medea had to find a way to save itself.
And the best way to save himself was to tell the Duke Of St. Hilde that he was determined to break with the Eastern Region!
This way, the Duke Of St. Hilde would not have to look for a new puppet to help him rule the half-elven kingdom. "
"So that's how it is!" Anna suddenly understood, "So, the two of us are the bargaining chips for the House of Medea to break with the Eastern Region."
"Yes, as long as they capture us and hand us over to the Duke Of St. Hilde, the House of Medea would have completely offended the House of Saint Prospero. They could only follow the path of the Northern Frontier to the end."
Anna nodded, but then she seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, her face changed and she hurriedly said, "Then, in order to show their loyalty to the Duke Of St. Hilde, will the House of Medea kill us?"
Count Elven froze for a moment before chuckling. "My silly sister! How could the House of Medea have the guts to do so?
Once they are stained with the blood of the House of Saint Prospero, it will be an endless hatred.
Haha, how could a small half-elven royal family have the guts to offend the Holy Knight Family of the Empire?
If they really dare to do so, the House of Medea will immediately become the public enemy of the Radiant Empire!
Even the Duke Of St. Hilde will not protect them. "
Anna sighed in relief, sat down at the round table, and took a sip of water.
"So, we're just going to wait here?"
"Yes, we're going to wait. I've already told you that our trip to Silvermoon City is destined to be in vain. Sigh, it's a pity that there's no good wine here! "
At this point, the Earl Of Avon stood up and slammed the thick iron door, shouting, "Hey! Those outside, can you send in some wine? "
Anna looked at her unreliable brother and silently rolled her eyes.

Outside Silvermoon City, an army of about a thousand people was moving quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, all of you start running! If we don't reach Silvermoon City before the sun sets, I'll have to sleep in the suburbs with you all again! "
The Knight of Rego's loud voice kept ringing, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
After parting at Winter City, he followed Colin's orders and returned to Icestone City to lead a thousand people to meet up with Colin in Silvermoon City.
However, on the way back to Icestone City, he was harassed by a few bandit groups for a long time, which was why he was delayed until now.
Usually, as long as he flashed the "Roaring White Bear" flag, normal bandit groups would definitely not dare to attack a noble's army.
However, for some reason, the bandit groups seemed to have collectively gone crazy this time, making it extremely difficult for the Knight of Rego to return to Icestone City.
What he didn't know was that these bandit groups were also so hungry that they had no choice.
The invasion of trolls this spring caused a large amount of fertile land in the Northern Frontier to be wasted. The spring plowing was delayed, and the autumn harvest was naturally not good.
Therefore, the Northern Frontier was destined to have a difficult winter this year.
The bandit groups were even crazier because of this. The noble's guards that they usually avoided were now even more daring.
In short, after the Knight of Rego returned to Icestone City with difficulty, he realized that he had been delayed for too long. He was afraid that he might not be able to reach Silvermoon City before Vera's wedding.
Burning with anxiety, he naturally found Knight Xiaer and wanted to take the cavalry with him.
Colin's orders were only for him to take a thousand people to Silvermoon City, and he didn't say whether they would be infantry or cavalry.
However, Knight Xiaer was unwilling and insisted that the cavalry had not finished their training. If they were sent to the battlefield now, they would basically be sent to their deaths.
Helpless, the Knight of Rego could only take a thousand infantry and speed up madly, almost exhausting the soldiers to death, before they finally arrived at Silvermoon City in time for the wedding.
Looking at Silvermoon City under the sunset, the Knight of Rego finally let out a sigh of relief.
He didn't have time to admire the beautiful scenery of the garden city under the sunset. The Knight of Rego immediately prepared to enter the city.
However, before he could get close to the city gate, a sharp arrow was shot in front of him.
"Stop! Who are you people? "An interrogative voice came from the top of the city wall.
The Knight of Rego took the Angele family's flag from the flag bearer beside him and waved it vigorously.
"I am the Angele family's Knight of Rego Morben. I am here on Viscount Angley's orders to attend the wedding of Miss Vera and Prince Tupé!"
Originally, the Knight of Rego thought that as long as he showed the flag, the half-elves would naturally open the city gate and warmly welcome him in.
However, things didn't go as he expected.
"I'm sorry, Sir Knight. According to His Majesty's orders, to ensure the safety of the wedding, no one is allowed to enter or leave Silvermoon City during this period!"
"Huh?" The Knight of Rego's eyes widened as a thought flashed through his mind.
Something happened!
