Chapter 90: Rebellion in the Royal Capital (1)
When the black dragon and the maid arrived in a carriage in front of the villa where the Marquis of Lesinger lived in the aristocratic district, Krylov III, who was still wearing pajamas, had already arrived at the scene.
"It's really miserable......" Looking at the villa like ruins, even the driver who drove couldn't help but sigh.
Krylov III was surrounded by several great nobles, and in addition to a few royalist nobles, there were also two remaining nobles of the local faction.
They stood silently on the side, with only the Prime Minister, Count Ronald, directing the rescue efforts at the scene.
The maid did not see the figure of the Marquis of Lesinger among these great nobles, and she had some judgments and speculations in her heart.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, we're late. ”
Glancing at the pile of ruins, the maid walked up to Krylov III with the black dragon and bowed her head and said.
Krylov III turned around, but was startled by the taciturn Cervantes, wondering if it was his delusion, the black dragon had been exuding hostility.
But after all, it was a king, and Krylov III quickly came to his senses, and nodded: "It is not a problem, but I am deeply ashamed that I disturbed your rest." ”
"Marquis Liesinger, he ......," the maid looked at Krylov III with confusion.
Krylov III's eyes darkened, and he sighed: "Sir Liesinger has unfortunately died. ”
"It's a pity...... the maid lowered her eyes, and the black dragon was indifferent, his eyes kept roaming around.
"Duke Cervantes!"
At this time, the Duke of Valho opened his mouth and asked the black dragon, "May I ask if you have found anything?"
Duke Valho's eyes were burning, and the people present immediately understood, because just a few days ago, when Duke Black Dragon was not this taciturn appearance, he had bullied Duke Valho, but Duke Valho now wants to find his fault in this kind of place, which can't help but seem a little despicable and shameless.
"Is that marquis really dead?"
To everyone's surprise, Cervantes was not angry, not even expressionless, he just looked at the ruins quietly, and muttered: "I don't think it ......"
His words made Krylov III raise his eyebrows, and the Duke of Valho pursed his lips disdainfully, and was about to speak sarcastically, when the Count of Ronald came over with a priest.
"Your Majesty, Pastor Sinan has something to report. ”
Count Ronald looked at the several nobles standing beside Krylov III and said.
Krylov III understood what Count Ronald meant, but he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just say something, and there's nothing unpleasant." ”
'Marquis Lesinger is dead anyway!'
Count Ronald nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then Pastor Heonan ......"
The priest of the God of Radiance, who had walked with Count Ronal, bowed down again and saluted again, and then said: "Your Majesty, the situation is like this - our people have found some traces of the 'demon' in the mansion of the Marquis of Lesinger, and after examination, the explosion site is under the ground of the living room on the first floor, according to the testimony of the survivors, the Marquis of Lesinger was already resting in the bedroom on the third floor, and in the house of the Marquis of Lesinger, the living room is far from the marquis's bedroom, but we do not have the remains of the Marquis of Lesinger. ”
Krylov III frowned and asked: "Do you have any conclusions?"
Pastor Shinan shook his head, "There is no conclusion yet, we need to discuss and verify it for a while." Archbishop Koklov is very old and has not slept very well, and we don't want to wake him up at such a time, so we will be able to make a relatively accurate guess as early as tomorrow morning. ”
"Really? That's a lot of hard work for you. Krylov III nodded, "Since work is so busy, then I won't keep you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding. Pastor Sinan leaned slightly, "Then I'll take my leave, Your Majesty." ”
Reverend Sinan left, but Count Ronald remained.
Because his job was over, there was only so much he could do, and now that the city guards didn't need his command, their commander would be able to handle the follow-up.
The eyes of Krylov III and the great nobles fell on Cervantes, and they felt that the current 'Duke of the Black Dragon' seemed to be even more powerful...... It's also possible that they never saw how powerful he was.
"Cervantes, I wonder what you have to say about this?"
After seeing the 'power' of Cervantes, Krylov III asked modestly.
Count Ronald was not here just now, so he was a little puzzled by Krylov III's attitude, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Cervantes quietly.
The black dragon thought for a moment and said, "After the accident with the marquis, has anyone seen him?"
Krylov III they thought about it.
Indeed, after the assassination, the Marquis of Liesinger refused to see the guests, and hid in his house, believing that everyone was suspected of assassinating him.
"Then, his body was not found, so I thought he was dead a long time ago, and that was just an impostor. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Duke of Valho sneered, "Just because you didn't find his body, you think it was an imposter before?"
"It's just a guess. ”
To everyone's surprise, the black dragon was not angry because of Duke Valho's ridicule, but replied without being arrogant or humble.
This is so abnormal!
Now Cervantes is too restrained, not at all like a five-colored dragon.
Completely different from the previous fangs and claws, the taciturn black dragon seemed to be even more terrifying.
If there was one word to describe Cervantes today, it would be 'crocodile' or 'python', closer to a level-headed or even ruthless hunter.
But what they didn't know, Cervantes was like this, he used to show his nature only when hunting, and now he has completely abandoned his disguise...... However, this was not the case, he was just disturbed by 'some of the things that couples do at night' and was upset!
Now the conditions are not satisfied, no matter how much speculation is just a waste of brainpower, Cervantes said so, they love to believe it or not.
Krylov III was also very helpless, he felt that Cervantes was reasonable, if what Cervantes said was true, it would be really good, but the Duke of Valho and the Marquis of Elfaro on the side must have seen through his intentions, they would definitely 'argue with reason', and they would definitely not let the Liesinger family leave the alliance of powerful nobles.
If things were really as Cervantes had said, then Krylov III would have been able to free the Liesingers from the alliance of the nobles with real power.
Although it is not necessarily possible to get them to join the royalists, it should be enough to get them to leave the local faction.
For example, for the position of the king, a big nobleman eliminated his competitors in advance, and it may even be done by two big nobles.
As long as he said this, the heirs of the Lesinger family would be suspicious of the Marquis of Elfaro and the Duke of Valho, and the family of the other great nobles would also have scruples about them, and after losing the support of two great nobles in a row, the alliance of the real nobles would almost be over.
However, without definite evidence, gossip alone could not shake their hearts, after all, they had gathered together for profit, and they naturally knew how much risk there was, and even when the gossip spread, they would even suspect that Krylov III was scrupling about them and did these things in order to break their alliance.
If there is no definite evidence, rumors are just rumors, and they only need to be directed in reverse to deal with rumors.
Everyone present has their own ghosts, and everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.
The maid sighed, the time to go back was going to be delayed again, how could this feel so much like a high school class?
