Early in the morning, under the quiet sunshine, layers of shadows rippled on the ground.
In the vast and ancient palace, a man rode a white horse and slowly walked out of it.
He was wearing a red cloak and a dark black leather armor, which looked beautiful and exquisite. His handsome face was slightly raised, looking straight at the scenery in the distance.
"The weather is slowly getting hotter."
Feeling the warm sunshine outside, a smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to be in a better mood.
"Kaiga, is there any news in the city recently?"
He rode slowly forward, looking at a middle-aged man beside him and asked.
It was a middle-aged man who did not look handsome. Although his appearance was not outstanding, his face looked very determined, and his pair of brown eyes were deep, giving people a feeling that he could be trusted and relied on.
"In the few days that Your Highness has been in the palace, nothing major has happened in the city. The only thing worth noting is that some of the nobles in the city died strangely. Their deaths were very cruel and carried the aura of evil races."
"The devils?" Gruul frowned, and for a moment, he seemed to think of something.
As Prince Tamru, he was more or less aware and understood that there were some evil creatures hidden in his country.
However, despite his understanding, he was powerless to change this situation.
Although the royal family was powerful, it was not fearless in the end. In the face of the huge power composed of layers of nobles and lords, it was inevitable that they would retreat.
Those evil creatures hidden among the nobles were often transformed from nobles with a long history. They were not only one of the components of the kingdom's power, but also had the connections and power that had been accumulated in the past for countless years.
Before these existences clearly harmed their own interests, even the king would not easily make up his mind to get rid of these existences, let alone Prince Gruul.
However, it was one thing to be able to tolerate them normally, but it did not mean that these evil creatures would start to stir up chaos, especially when they attacked the nobles.
Therefore, at this moment, Gruul frowned, and his expression became very ugly in an instant: "Who died?"
"They're all small nobles. Some of them have migrated from the southern Kalor region, and some of them were originally supporting His Highness …" Beside him, Kaiga slowly opened his mouth and said. Soon after, he seemed to have thought of something and said hesitantly, "Also, last night, the eldest son of the Bakuru family, Sir Zim, also died outside. His body was covered with several sword scars, and it seems like he was killed by a powerful knight."
"It should be Yasuo's doing." Gruel nodded. "I know a little about the Bakuru family. Yasuo and his elder brother haven't had a good relationship since they were young. Baron Dolu doted on his eldest son since he was young, and even let Yasuo take his eldest son's place."
"It wouldn't be strange at all for Yasuo to hate his elder brother and even kill him."
"How should we deal with this matter?" Kai Jia turned around and asked.
"It's the family business of the Bakuru family. Let him be." "Judge Zim's death as an accident, and in my name, make Yasuo the heir of the Bakuru family." Gruul didn't care too much about this matter.
"Wait, Baron Dolo has disappeared, right?"
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Yes." Kai Jia recalled for a moment, then nodded. "According to the report of the Knights who returned from the south, he has disappeared on the battlefield. I'm afraid he has died in battle …"
"In that case …" After pondering for a while, Gruel came back to his senses again and continued, "Then let's be more straightforward. Let Yasuo inherit the title of Baron Dolo and inherit the territory and power of the Bakuru family."
"I remember that I still had a territory in the mountains in the south, right?"
He looked at Kai Jia and asked.
"Yes." Kai Jia nodded. "That was given to you by your aunt, Princess Minas, as a coming of age gift the year you came of age."
"Give that territory to Yasuo as a gift from me." Gruel waved his hand and directly sent the territory out.
This unusual generosity made Kai Jia a little surprised. Although he didn't say anything, he was still extremely surprised in his heart.
Being in charge of Prince Gruel for many years, Kai Jia knew this prince very well.
He had always been a lord who wouldn't release the eagle without seeing the rabbit. Although he was very generous in other aspects, he had always been very stingy in the area of his basic territory.
The reason for this was also related to the size of the territory in Gruel's hands.
Although the area of the Kingdom of Tamlu was wide enough, most of its areas were vast and uninhabited desolate areas. The land there was not worth much money at all. Even if it was rewarded, not many people were willing to develop it.
Only those with a large population and the land that had basically been developed were good territories.
And among these good territories, after hundreds of years of slowly granting and enfeoffment, there was not much territory left that belonged to the royal family. Naturally, there were even fewer that could be controlled by Prince Gruel.
In fact, if it weren't for Gruel's outstanding military talent since childhood, leading the army to conquer everywhere since adulthood, and gaining a lot of territory and population in the process, he probably wouldn't have much land in his hands at this moment.
With so little money, it was naturally impossible for him to be generous. It was even rarer for him to directly bestow a large piece of land like this time.
"It seems that His Highness attaches great importance to that Knight Yasuo …"
Looking at Gruel next to him, this thought rose in Kaiga's heart. Even though he had a strong character, he couldn't help but feel a little envious at this moment.
Compared to Adil, he had served Gruel for many years and had assisted him in making many contributions. But until now, although he had become a dignitary, he still didn't have a territory that could accommodate his entire family.
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, then continued to move forward and keep up with Gruel's footsteps.
On this side, Gruel had just issued an order, and it took a full half a day before Adil received the news.
"What? Zim is dead? "
Sitting in the courtyard, looking at the letter sent by Gruel, Adil was a little stunned.
The letter in front of him was specially sent by Gruel, which contained some of Gruel's arrangements for Adil.
In the letter, Gruel also vaguely mentioned Zim's death and hinted that Adil would overlook this matter. Obviously, he had already determined that it was Adil who did it.
Faced with this fact, Adil suddenly felt a little wronged.
After entering the demon tavern and learning about Zim's identity, he did want to find a chance to get rid of Zim.
However, despite the rising killing intent in his heart, he hadn't done anything yet. He hadn't gone out at all these days. Zim's death had nothing to do with him at all.
In other words, at this moment, Adil was the scapegoat for someone else.
Putting down the letter in his hand, Adil got up and looked into the distance. This thought emerged in his mind. "Who is it?"
He didn't care whether Zim was dead or not. What he cared about was the fact that he was the scapegoat for someone else, as well as the other party's motive for killing Zim.
"Zim's true identity is a vampire that hasn't been completely transformed. In theory, the dark priests in the city, the powerful knights in the city, and those evil creatures could have done it."
Thinking about the contents of the letter, Adil frowned, "The specific situation can only be determined after seeing the body in person."
With this thought in mind, a series of hurried footsteps slowly sounded outside the house.
Adil raised his head and saw the housekeeper of the manor anxiously walking in from outside the house. At this moment, his originally stern face was filled with anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the butler, Adil raised his head and asked. He was a little puzzled by his anxious behavior.
"Sir, the security officer we sent to negotiate with the bandits was killed by them!"
Looking at Adil, the butler's footsteps were hurried, and at this moment, he looked extremely anxious.
"What?" Adil was stunned.
