"Did you see the person's face clearly?"
"No, Duchess. He was too fast, I could only see a blur … "
"Then you didn't see anything clearly?"
"The last thing I saw was that person stopping in front of Count Angele's corpse. From the back, it should be a middle-aged man about 1.9 meters tall. Blonde hair, and the scabbard of the knight's sword at his waist … I think it was purple …"
The Duchess listened to the guard's rambling for a long time, but she didn't get any useful information. Her expression started to become impatient.
The guard obviously noticed this and hurriedly racked his brains. Then, he added with some uncertainty, "That's not right.
He then added, "Duchess, I think I saw that person rushing out of Prince Harrison's residence …"
"Are you sure?" The Duchess' expression changed, and she hurriedly asked.
"It should be …" The guard became hesitant again.
The Duchess was a little disappointed, but she still walked out. She found Prince Harrison, who was waiting anxiously outside, and asked,
"Your Highness Harrison, a guard said that he saw the murderer rushing out from your residence. Did you notice anyone suspicious?"
Prince Harrison only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately said, "Duchess, Prince Rhy appeared in my room, and then he rushed out for no reason … Then, I heard that teacher was attacked by an assassin.
Duchess, teacher, he … he couldn't have been killed, right? "
Prince Rhy!
The Duchess was shocked by this name.
This Paladin of the San Lorenzo family actually appeared in White Dew City, and even killed Count Angele … This made the Duchess a little confused for a moment.
It must be known that although Prince Rhy was born into the royal San Lorenzo family, he actually sided with the church.
So, why would he come to White Dew Castle to kill someone for no reason?
Furthermore, Prince Rhy didn't have any grudges with Count Angele.
Seeing the Duchess standing there in a daze, Prince Harrison asked again, "Duchess, what happened to teacher?"
The Duchess knew that this matter couldn't be hidden, so she sighed and said,
"Count Angele has already been killed by an assassin …"
"No, that's impossible! How could teacher die so easily? He's a grade 6 knight! "Prince Harrison kept shaking his head. He couldn't accept this result at all.
The teacher who had created miraculous results time and time again had died just like that?
Princess Judy also burst into tears. She yelled and tried to run into the room, but was stopped by the guards.
After hearing Prince Harrison's words, the Duchess realized something. Indeed, Colin Angele was a rank 6 knight. Apart from a paladin like Prince Lacy, who else could kill him so easily?
But she still couldn't figure out Prince Leahy's motive.
At this moment, Knight Warren came to the duchess' side again and reported softly:
"Madam, it's my fault. I failed to stop the Northern Frontier guards who followed Count Angele into the city. They escaped …"
"What?" The Duchess raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "You can't even stop those few people?"
Knight Warren felt aggrieved and said in a muffled voice:
"Madam, although there aren't many of them, all of them are professionals. There are even two sixth-order warriors among them … We can't stop them at all."
"Two sixth-order warriors?" The Duchess' voice changed.
She knew that even the House of Saint Prospero didn't have two sixth-order warriors.
Was the Angele family so extravagant that they had sixth-order warriors as guards?
And two of them!
However, the worse news was yet to come.
Knight Warren continued to report:
"Also, when we chased the Northern Frontier guards to the North Gate, we found that the gate was open … I suspect that someone in the city deliberately opened the gate for them!"
The Duchess felt a chill in her heart and immediately asked: "Which family's army was originally stationed at the North Gate?"
"It was the Nichol family's army."
"Count Nichol …" The Duchess suddenly thought of the previous banquet, when Count Nichol shouted about the assassination of Count Angele.
Originally, she thought that Count Nichol just couldn't help but exclaim after hearing such shocking news, but now it seemed that the old man did it on purpose!
At that time, Count Nichol might not have heard Knight Warren's report at all, but he already knew that Count Angele would be assassinated!
This Count Nichol was an accomplice in this assassination!
"Where is Count Nichol?" The Duchess gritted her teeth and asked.
Knight Warren also realized something and immediately said: "I'll go find him now!"
The Duchess stopped Knight Warren and ordered with a gloomy face:
"Don't waste time. If Count Nichol really betrayed the House of Saint Prospero, he should have escaped from White Dew Castle by now.
Go immediately mobilize the Pegasus Legion and control the four gates. Don't let the Blood Cavalry enter the city! "
"Yes!"
…
In the banquet hall, a group of nobles was still talking about the assassination of Count Angele.
However, some people had already left in advance when no one was paying attention.
For example, Count Nichol, and Beatrice.
She didn't go to the place where Colin was assassinated, but went straight to Marquis Vincent's room.
"Madam Beatrice!"
"Is the marquis awake?"
"Not yet."
"You can leave first."
"Yes."
Since the Marquis was still in the banquet hall, after the maids left, only Marquis Vincent and Beatrice were left in the room.
"Aunt, what's wrong?" Marquis Vincent opened his eyes and asked in confusion.
"Colin is dead," Beatrice said.
"Really?" Marquis Vincent sat up from the bed in surprise, "Aunt, you've succeeded? What about mother? Did you kill her too? "
Beatrice shook her head and said: "No, I didn't have time to do anything. Colin Angele was killed by someone else."
Marquis Vincent was stunned for a moment and asked after a while: "Who killed him?"
"I don't know."
"Then, have you been to the scene?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Marquis Vincent's face changed greatly. He immediately grabbed Beatrice's arm and said in a hurry:
"No, you must cut off his head! You must cut off his head! "
Beatrice frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to cut off his head?"
"Because, if you don't cut off his head, he will come to you."
A drifting voice suddenly came from outside the window.
Marquis Vincent suddenly froze, as if he was petrified, but his face showed an extremely frightened expression.
