It was not that Aurelia and Olina were too saintly. Even if Girard had killed Victor, they would still desperately protect the lives of their elder brother and son.
Instead, it was because the flash of struggle in Girard's eyes just now gave them hope.
They thought that Girard could still wake up.
"Girard is innocent. The real sinner is the one who controlled him!"
Olina's tears fell like rain. "Lord Tang En, please don't kill him!"
"Tang En! I beg you! I beg you! My elder brother is innocent! "
Aurelia also desperately begged Tang En.
"So troublesome …"
Tang En could not help muttering. However, they were right. Girard was indeed innocent. The mysterious person who controlled him was the real murderer.
"Control me? No one can control me! I'm the King of Irus! "
Girard roared angrily. He stared fiercely at Olina. He grabbed Olina's cheeks and pressed the long sword against her white skin. "Mother! You have to correct your statement! No one can control me! "
"Girard, my son, think about how you used to be. Think about your father. Think about this country. Do you really want to become like this!?"
Facing Girard's eyes, Olina still tried to wake Girard up.
"Shut up! You b * tch! "
The agitated Girard slashed hard. A scarlet bloodstain immediately appeared on Olina's white cheeks.
Aurelia cried out involuntarily, "Mother!"
"Tang En! Take out your weapon! "
Girard shouted sternly. He lifted Olina's head and put the long sword against her neck. "Fight with me, or I'll kill this b * tch!"
"You actually called your mother a b * tch … You're hopeless."
Tang En sighed. He waved his hand and a water element long sword appeared in his hand.
"Tang En!"
The crying Olina shook her head. "Tang En …"
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Tang En heaved a long sigh in his heart. Troublesome, this is really troublesome …
"Very well … If you don't want to make a move, then don't blame me for forcing you."
With a grim smile, Girard pushed Olina out. He was not afraid that Olina and Aurelia would escape. The moment they tried to escape, they would be killed by his long sword.
"I think you should calm down."
The elemental sword in Tang En's hand quickly condensed the power of the water element. The cold water element formed a layer of white ice fog around the sword. As the water element became denser, pieces of ice fragments appeared around the sword.
"But I want to kill you before celebrating this delicious victory!"
Girard laughed wildly as he rushed towards Tang En. "You're strong, but I'm stronger!"
The moment Girard's longsword struck out, it turned into a killing storm. The crisscrossing Sword Qi tore apart everything around it. This Sword Qi completely sealed off Tang En's surroundings, leaving him with nowhere to run!
As soon as Girard struck out, Tang En was surprised because this guy was actually stronger than Aubrey and Aradeline!
"As expected of the second generation of the royal family. The treatment of bloodline and supplies is indeed different."
Tang En could not help but murmur. If he had not transmigrated and become the second generation of the royal family, he would not have been able to defeat this guy.
"Ding, ding, ding —"
Girard's Sword Qi hit Tang En's Magic Armor. The violent Sword Qi tore through the layers of Magic Armor, but it could not damage Tang En's clothes at all.
"Calm down, calm down."
Tang En casually stabbed out with his sword. The brute force forcibly destroyed Girard's swordsmanship and directly stabbed towards his chest!
Girard, who was full of confidence, was shocked to find that he had no ability to dodge this sword!
No matter where he dodged, Tang En's longsword always followed him like a shadow!
Queen Olina cried and shouted, "Tang En!"
Alas.
Tang En sighed inwardly. What a pity for parents.
The longsword stopped the moment it pierced into Girard's skin. Tang En's voice faintly entered Girard's ears, "Icebound Roar …"
"Whoosh —"
A gust of cold wind broke out with a roar. Ice fragments mixed with the power of frost instantly enveloped Girard, completely destroying the blood energy he used to protect himself. In the blink of an eye, he was frozen in a block of ice.
With a crack, the water element longsword in Tang En's hand shattered, turning into specks of frost and dissipating in the air.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. He won't die."
Facing the crying mother and daughter, Tang En emphasized again. Then he frowned and asked, "What about now? What do you want to do? "
Victor was dead. Girard had gone crazy. Aurelia and Olina obviously could not stay in Alinx anymore. Not to mention whether they could wake Girard up or not, judging from his crazy behavior, they would probably be killed by him before he woke up.
"Let's go to Ellington!"
Aurelia wiped her tears and said with red eyes, "I won't die until we catch the murderer!"
Tang En asked the Queen for her opinion, "I don't care. What do you think? Queen Olina? "
Olina shook her head. Looking at her son in the ice, she could not stop her tears.
"Well, it seems that you don't have any opinion."
Aurelia finally calmed down and regained some rationality, "Tang En, Aubrey and Adrian …"
"I know. Let's inform them first."
After saying that, Tang En once again swept the whole palace with his spiritual energy. He frowned.
He didn't find any suspicious person … Could the guy behind Girard hide from his detection?
He said to Girard in the ice, "I know you can hear me. Calm down. I hope that the blood-stained crown can help you regain some rationality. Otherwise, I'll have to kill you next time."
After saying that, he ignored Girard's hateful eyes and held the weak Queen Olina in his arms, "Sorry, the transmission process was a bit chaotic, so …"
Olina was sobbing. How could she care about such trivial matters? Even Aurelia didn't have time to scold him. She just took one last look at Girard and then took Tang En's arm.
The next moment, Tang En disappeared with them.
A moment later, a crack finally appeared on the ice under the impact of Girard. Then, with a "boom", the ice exploded into pieces.
"Huff, huff …"
Girard knelt on the ground. His whole body was wet. He was gasping for breath. His eyes were red with hatred as he stared at the floor. His hands were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
"Tang! En! I'm going to tear you to pieces! "
"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! "
"The crown belongs to me! The Irus Empire is mine! "
"You bastard bastard will only die under my sword!"
"Power! I need more power! More power! "
"Marcus! Marcus, where are you! I need power! Do you hear me? As you wish! Why don't you show up!!! "
On the outskirts of Alinx, in the shadows, Marcus laughed strangely.
"You're calling me now? Do you think I'm stupid? Fortunately, I left in a hurry. Otherwise, those old guys in the Radiant Church would have found me … "
"But I didn't expect this prince to be so uneasy and arrogant. With just a little provocation, he killed Victor with his own hands … But it's really interesting now …"
Looking at the quiet and peaceful Alinx, Marcus opened his arms and laughed wildly. "Enjoy this last moment of peace. When the night passes and dawn comes again, the whole Irus Empire will be in turmoil again! Chaos! Destruction! Fear! War! These were the topics that would never change! Everything will pass away, and only the Lord of God will be eternal! "
In the peaceful Alinx, people continued to live as usual. They still did not know that their king, Victor Irus, had died at the hands of Girard. And this news would completely explode after a night of brewing.
Aubrey's house.
"Something like this actually happened?!"
Due to the existence of the magic barrier, Aubrey was completely unaware of what had happened in the palace. He did not even notice a trace of abnormality.
But when he saw Aurelia and Queen Olina, he knew that Tang En was telling the truth. Otherwise, he would not have come to see him and Aradeline immediately.
"No! I have to find out! "
"You old thing, get back here!"
Aradeline roared and pulled Aubrey back. He said angrily, "Didn't you hear what Tang En said? Girard is under control, and so are the people in the palace. The mastermind behind this has not been exposed yet. What can you find out? "
"Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"
Aubrey was furious. "Who knows if we will also be inexplicably controlled?"
"I won't, but with your bad temper, that may not be the case," Aradeline said coldly.
Adrian said coldly, "How can you be sure that the situation in the palace is not a trap?"
Aubrey was speechless.
Tang En frowned. "There are only two ways now."
Aubrey's eyes lit up. "What is it?"
"First, I kill Girard. If the mastermind's purpose is to control this country, they will definitely find a way to attack Aurelia. Then I can kill them."
Aurelia and Olina exclaimed in unison, "No!"
"No."
Aradeline also shook his head. "Princess Aurelia has already given up her right of inheritance, and she has been recognized by the Radiant Church. Now everyone knows that the mastermind will not look for Princess Aurelia. Killing Girard will only make the situation worse, and the direction of the conspiracy will be more unpredictable. This is very unfavorable for us, who are in a passive position."
"Then there is no choice. There is only the second way left. We will go back to Ellington first. You can stay in Alinx to stabilize the people, or you can come to Ellington. Anyway, try not to get close to Girard for now. At the same time, stay alert. Then move your family to Ellington. At least I can guarantee their safety."
Tang En said without hesitation, "No matter what the situation is, there will definitely be some chaos in the next two days. The more the mastermind does, the more clues will be exposed. Since we cannot kill Girard, we can only choose to wait patiently for the mastermind to reveal their real purpose."
"This … I'm afraid this is the only way."
Aradeline sighed. "Let's do it!"
That night, large groups of people from the Feier family and the Bolette family began to secretly move to Ellington through the teleportation circle. A large amount of wealth was secretly transferred. Aubrey and Aradeline began to give some secret orders. Only the truly trustworthy and reliable subordinates could know these secret orders.
Alinx was shrouded in darkness, and at this moment, the real storm had just begun.
The next day, the moment a shocking piece of news was announced, it spread throughout Irus and even the neighboring countries through various channels.
Master Clark, a guest mage of the Irus Empire and a senior-rank arcanist of the City of Silver, suddenly betrayed His Majesty and assassinated Victor. Victor was killed on the spot!
Prince Girard, who had just returned, turned the tide and killed Master Clark to avenge his father!
Today, he would be crowned king!
