White Dew Castle, Banquet Hall.
Melodious music, delicious food, beautiful maids … None of these could calm the restless hearts of the guests.
The news of Earl Angele's death had already made people anxious. Later, they heard the sound of fighting in the city, which made them even more anxious. They thought that the Blood Cavalry was coming to the city to avenge Earl Angele. They were so scared that they were ready to leave.
The steward of the House of Saint Prospero tried to persuade them to stay, but it was useless.
These nobles of the Eastern Region didn't want to stay in White Dew Castle and wait for the Blood Cavalry to come in and be buried with the House of Saint Prospero, so they were determined to leave.
However, when they hurried to the gate of White Dew Castle, they found that the gate was tightly closed, and a group of heavily armed guards blocked the gate.
The guests suddenly clamored and asked to open the gate to let them leave.
But the guards didn't move at all, it seemed that they had received a clear order to prohibit them from leaving.
"Who let you block the gate?"
"Is the House of Saint Prospero going to kill all the nobles of the Eastern Region?"
"Where is the Duchess? We want to see her … "
…
"I'm here."
Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, the Duchess finally came out.
The chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.
A nobleman of the Eastern Region immediately stood up and asked:
"Duchess, why do you forbid us to leave White Dew Castle?"
The Duchess didn't answer this question, but asked: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
This kind of question seemed to irritate the nobles, and suddenly someone shouted:
"Duchess, why do you ask? The House of Saint Prospero didn't have the ability to protect the safety of the guests in White Dew Castle, which led to the assassination of Count Angele. Now the Blood Cavalry is going to avenge Count Angele, do we still want to stay here and wait for death? "
"The Blood Cavalry didn't enter the city." The Duchess said lightly.
This sentence made the nobles of the Eastern Region stunned, but soon, doubts appeared on their faces, apparently they thought that the Duchess was deliberately deceiving them.
"Duchess, you said that the Blood Cavalry didn't enter the city, then what's the fierce fighting outside?"
"That's because Count Nicole betrayed the Eastern Region. He's fighting with the Sky Horse Legion. It has nothing to do with the Bloody Cavalry."
"Count Nicol?"
"Betrayal?"
…
The nobles of the Eastern Region suddenly whispered to each other, obviously not expecting such a situation.
The duchess took the opportunity to continue, "That's right. You don't need to worry about the Blood Cavalry. Although the news of Count Angele's death has been spread out, the Blood Cavalry's camp is still quiet.
Obviously, the generals of the Bloody Cavalry were sensible people, and they would not act irrationally under impulse.
Some people wanted to use the death of Count Angele to sow discord between the St. Pross Family and the Blood Cavalry, and even the relationship between the St. Pross Family and the Blood Cavalry. Their intentions were extremely sinister, but not everyone would be fooled!
We, the House of Saint Prospero, are responsible for Count Angele's death, and we'll do everything we can to make it up to him. However, the orcs are invading, and we need to work together. We can't fight among ourselves anymore.
I believe that the Bloody Cavalry will also understand this point.
So, your worries are unnecessary.
The riot in the White Dew City was provoked by the Nicol Family, and the situation is under the control of the Sky Horse Legion. You don't need to be so nervous. "
After these words, the expressions of the guests were obviously relaxed.
They had all witnessed the terrible fighting power of the Blood Cavalry, and they had already been traumatized. However, if the Blood Cavalry did not attack the city, they would not be so scared.
The rebellion of the Nicol Family?
It was not easy to calm down.
However, there was also a hostage who asked, "Duchess, since the Sky Horse Legion can control the situation in the city, why are you so nervous to close the White Dew Castle and prohibit people from entering and leaving?"
The duchess glanced at the noble who spoke, and her face became gloomy. She said coldly,
"Of course, to prevent the murderer of Count Angele from leaving the White Dew Castle!"
This was a dignified reason.
The guests did not know that Colin was already a sixth-grade knight, or they would definitely shout that they were wronged.
To be able to assassinate a sixth-grade knight, one should at least have the strength of a fifth-grade knight, or they would not be able to get close to him.
However, fifth-grade knights were not cabbages, and there were only a few of them here.
After the crowd quieted down, the duchess opened her mouth again,
"Next, I will personally ask you about your whereabouts tonight. If I offend you, please forgive me. I believe that you all want to find the murderer of Count Angele as soon as possible."
Seeing that no one objected, the duchess was about to start the "questioning", but she saw a guard running to her in a hurry, and he could not hide the panic on his face.
The duchess could not help but feel angry in her heart.
There were too many unexpected situations tonight, and she was already in a terrible situation. She did not want to see any more accidents.
But unfortunately, the accident still came.
The guard looked at the duchess's fierce eyes, walked to her, and reported in a low voice,
"Madam, Marquis Vincent … he … unfortunately passed away …"
Hearing this, the duchess was relieved. Marquis Vincent's death was within her expectation, no, it was within her plan.
Of course, on the surface, she immediately put on a grief-stricken face, and said to the crowd with sobs,
"Everyone … I'm really sorry … Vincent did not make it … He just passed away from his injuries …"
After hearing this, the guests were stunned for a moment, but they also quickly comforted her.
But the guard on the side was dumbfounded. He hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her in a low voice,
"Madam, I'm afraid the marquis did not pass away from his injuries, but was just killed by someone …"
The duchess's pupils shrank, and she coldly stared at the guard, and scolded, "Do you know what you are saying?"
The guard wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and nodded, "Madam, I dare not speak nonsense, but the marquis' head was twisted off …"
The duchess's expression changed, and she immediately walked to Marquis Vincent's room.
The guests were left in a daze, and they looked at each other.
… …
The duchess walked to Marquis Vincent's room with a gloomy face, and as expected, she saw her son's decapitated corpse.
Although she wanted Marquis Vincent to die, she did not want him to die in such a way.
"What happened at that time?" The duchess's voice was as cold as ice.
The guard trembled as he replied, "Madam, at that time, the guards outside the house had already been killed. When the patrols in the castle found that something was wrong and pushed the door open, they saw that the Marquis had already been killed.
Oh, right, Madam Beatrice was also in the room at that time, and she was also killed. "
Only then did the duchess notice Beatrice's existence, and a pleased sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared.
She slowly walked to Marquis Vincent's corpse, ready to check the situation.
But just as the duchess squatted down, she suddenly felt a strong sense of danger behind her.
She suddenly turned around and saw Beatrice, who should have been dead, pouncing on her.
The dagger in her hand shone with a cold light!
