"Count Lossy, damn traitor, how dare he ——!" Ampein, who was watching the battle from the top floor of the castle, said in a rage, "I'm going to kill him, and his son!

"Your Majesty, Lord Cologne said before that he was going to ...... Deal with something," the chief of the guard hesitated after a while, "but I don't think he will come back." ”

"What did you say?" the Lord of Dawn turned sharply, gasping for breath as he looked at the latter.

"You agreed," said the chief of the guard, stiffly, "besides Lord Cologne, there is Lord Wynant and Neil the Golden Sands, your majesty, and now it's just me." ”

It was only then that Ampein noticed that only the chief of the guard and a few lone servants were left in the huge hall.

He understood in an instant what the phrase "probably won't come back" meant.

"Another traitor!" the Lord of Dawn gritted his teeth as he slammed his scepter to the ground, "one or two is not enough, there are three or four...... My career has been ruined at the hands of these traitors!"

They did leave with their own consent, but what reason did they use? one said that they were going to inspect the defense of the stone wall, and the other said that they were going to the inner court to supervise the preparations of the maids, which was also their duty, but now it seems that it is simply a word of avoidance!

Could it be that his ministers were ready to flee before the enemy even attacked?

"Your Majesty, those cowards will be punished sooner or later, but the top priority now is to evacuate this place as soon as possible!" the chief of the guard stepped forward and persuaded, "Those mercenaries can't delay for long, even if they are guards, they can only resist the enemy for about half an hour, and it will be too late!"

"No, I'm going to see the betrayer pay with my own eyes!" Ampein pushed him away, "Go to the underground cell and bring me Otto Lossi's head!"

"But ......"

"This is the king's order!" he said hoarsely.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The chief of the guard had to take a step back and bow down.

After the only subordinate left, Ampein only felt his fingers tremble slightly, his eyes seemed to burst open, and his entire vision was stained with a layer of red.

He sat down slowly in his chair, staring at his hands, wishing he could tear these traitors apart alive with them!

It's all over.

When the mercenaries at the head of the city inexplicably fled and surrendered the stone walls, the defeat was already doomed, and Count Lossy's rebellion was nothing more than a trivial one. It's just that he doesn't understand why Count Lossy is willing to risk the loss of his eldest son and betray him, why does Hofford Quinn's ambition alone have the unreserved support of the other two families? This is completely unreasonable—although the three families of Glowlight City are regarded as one, their respective interests are not identical, and he can't think of anyone else who can make them trust him so much when the slightest mistake will be doomed.

Ampein found that neither the city nor the three major families knew as much as he thought.

In the end, he couldn't wait for the head of the guard to return to his life.

Pushing open the door of the hall was a group of warriors who had never seen before, their weapons still dripping with blood, and their armor was also splashed with blood.

The chief of the guard claimed to resist for half an hour, but in fact he could not last even a quarter of an hour.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Then he saw the usurper, Hofod Quinn who had sworn to assist the Moan family forever.

In addition to Count Quinn, two other traitors entered the hall along with their successors: Oro Tokat and Otto Losi.

Seeing the latter, Ampein knew that the revenge he wanted was out of the question.

"Why is that-"

"Are you surprised why Otto is still alive?" Oro interrupted, "It's not too difficult to hide two warriors in the secret passages of the palace, not to mention that ordinary iron gates and fences can't stop them from moving. As for how they got into the castle area, you'll have to ask the guards. I think the guards don't care much about counting the number of people in the troupe. ”

Ampein's pupils constricted suddenly, if the other party wasn't bluffing, wouldn't it mean that he could enter his dormitory at any time?

"That's right, just as you think. Ao Ero spread his hands, "If it weren't for the need for the King of the Grey Keep to create a boiling dispute, you would have been beheaded by them long ago." Honestly, you have disappointed me so much, Your Majesty...... I thought you had imprisoned Otto just out of anger, but I didn't expect you to use him to threaten Count Lossy and even want to kill him. At this he sighed, "I thought it would be ...... Even if we can't be friends, you won't forget that old time. ”

"You mean Roland Wimbledon, so it's all a conspiracy he hatched?" Ampein didn't even pay attention to the second half of the sentence, he had been attracted all the attention of the king of the Grey Keep in the mouth of Oro, "Do you know what you are doing! You have helped a devil - not only have you betrayed the oath of your ancestors, but you have also sacrificed your kingdom and people to him with your hands!

He angrily pointed at Hofford Quinn, "And you! You think you can really sit on this throne? In fact you are just a puppet! Have you not thought carefully about the reason why he started this rebellion! If it is not for the vain attempt to annex the Kingdom of Dawn, why would he oppose me again and again? Don't forget, if these people can easily overthrow me today, they will surely easily push you into the abyss one day!"

"You're wrong," suddenly a woman's voice rang out outside the door, "and he's doing this because of two things. One is to save Otto, and the other is to protect the witch. ”

"Ridiculous-" Ampein was about to scold the other party for his presumptuousness and ignorance, but his voice suddenly stuck in his throat, "You, you are ......"

The visitor looked very weak and needed to be supported by others to barely stand, but even this could not hide her outstanding appearance. The long blond hair and the familiar face reminded him of a man who only existed in memories.

"Andrea Quinn," but the answer confirmed his suspicion, "long time no see, Ampein." ”

In an instant, all the questions in the mind of the Lord of Dawn were answered, why the Tokat family was so strong in supporting Count Quinn, and why Count Lossy was willing to take the risk - there was indeed one person who could gain the trust of both families at the same time, because their children had loved each other.

The anger in his heart was extinguished, replaced by a sense of powerlessness that was all lost, and he muttered for a moment, but the sentence that he finally came out of his mouth was: "Why?"

Why did you choose them instead of me in the end?

If it was fate to fall at the hands of Roland Wimbledon, why should you betray me? I could have given more than they did, and if it hadn't been for that accident, this kingdom would have had half of yours.

Andrea seemed to see through his thoughts, "Because I'm a witch, Ampein, the depraved you need to exterminate." ”
