If it weren't for McClandall's calm and composure, I'm afraid it would be difficult to successfully force the Knight to make a move.

His only mistake was underestimating McLandall and the Knight of Inold, and overestimating himself......

The Knight of Knapp has been very well hidden, without causing them too much speculation and suspicion.

Long before the sword duel, he had only appeared behind Knight Janis Odo and Queen Mother Inni Randall, and he was low-key and difficult to get people to pay attention to, and Knight Giannis Odo had always been the one who gave orders in the Kingsguard.

......

The Temed family was placed on the left side of the table, in the middle of the Turner family and the Otto family, while the king and queen, the prime minister, and the governor were in the middle of the table.

The Knight of Neil looked at Enod's curious gesture and introduced him to some of the big names except the king and queen.

Wearing the Hand of the King's insignia is Prime Minister Joe Chris, a close friend of King Rolls Sheehan and the patriarch of the Chriss family.

Wearing a colorful flower crown is Prince Cressien, the younger brother of King Rolls Sheehn, and it is said that it was Cresian who tried his best to persuade Jocrith to become Prime Minister in order to have today's sword showdown.

Dressed in black, the man with a thin figure but a very capable and sophisticated figure was Glenamsi, the treasurer.

Dressed in loose robes is the Chief of Intelligence Varian Oyzi, who greets the two representatives of the Oyiqi family who are preparing to participate in the sword duel, one of them wearing hard armor is Britney, a very famous female swordsman in Dubrovnik, and a hired knight of the Oyiqi family.

The one with the long white beard and the old looking one was Johani, the king's scholar.

Guarding the King and Queen was the Imperial Guard Janis Otto.

Behind Gianis Odor is Knapp, the captain of Kingsguard II, and the Kingsguard led by Knapp on his side.

......

It was still a long way from the other end of the hall, and Robert Sheehan was sitting on the throne waiting for him, and Jochris walked slowly towards the self-proclaimed king, followed by the others, and he wondered if Robert Sheehan would obediently give up the throne.

Captain Knapp led the Kingsguard to the scene, standing beneath the throne where Robert Sheehan was seated, fully armed, with beautiful armor and helmets draped from head to toe, long white-gray capes shakingly behind them, and shiny white shields tied to their left arms.

Queen Inni Randall and Prince Cresion stood at the back of the Kingsguard, the queen wearing a gray-green silk robe with a matching golden headband on her head, while Cresion was still wearing the same outfit she had worn at night, looking a little restless at the sight of Jochris.

Behind the throne, there were twenty Randall family guards with swords hanging from their waists. They wore gray-red cloaks over their shoulders and steel helmets on their heads.

On both sides of the wall, under the tapestries depicting hunting and warfare, stood the royal city guards in gold-rimmed cloaks, each of them holding a spear with a black iron spear in their hands, ready for anything, and several times larger than the Randall family guards and the Kingsguards.

Robert Sheehan stood up and said, "I order this Imperial Council to prepare for my coronation at full speed!" The boy announced, "I hope to be crowned in three weeks, and today I am sworn in by all the important ministers here!" ”

Prime Minister Jocriss said, "Prince Robert Sheehan, you are still underage, and according to the king's will last night, you need to wait until you are an adult to become king, and this is also the result of all of us after consultation, and I, as the former prime minister, will temporarily assume the position of king." ”

Queen Eni Randall glanced at Prime Minister Jocris, "Your Excellency, do you want to use King Rolls Sheehan's affection for you as a shield?" Just flattering you, you won't take it seriously, will you? According to the laws of the past dynasties, Robert Sheehan's succession to the king is a legitimate thing, and we all agree that he will inherit the throne now, even if you are the former prime minister, you can't stop it! ”

"But how can you ignore the king's will!" Prince Krésian said in shock.

"We have a new king." Queen Innie Randall said, "Lord Jochris, Lord Creshin, you have all given me some advice, now let me give you some advice as well, kneel, my lord, as long as Lord Jochris, you kneel and swear allegiance to my son, and we will allow you to step down as Prime Minister and return to your own realm and be a good lord again." ”

"I wish it were." Prime Minister Jocrishi said coldly that since Queen Innie Randall insisted on making a decision here and now, he had no choice. "But your son has no right to inherit the throne, according to our investigation, Robert Sheehan and Ronnie Sheehan are not the biological sons of King Rolls Sheen and you, Prince Kréssien is the legitimate heir of King Rolls Sheehan."

"You're a liar!" Robert Sheehan screamed with a flushed face. "Mother, what does he mean by that? Am I not already a king now! ”

"Master Jocris, you're killing yourself!" Queen Innie Randall said, "Knight Janis Odo, the Captain of the Kingsguard, Knight Knapp, take down this traitor!" ”

Captain Knapp hesitated for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by the Chris Family Guards with their weapons drawn.

......

In a locked room.

"McClandall." "If you have nothing to do with the murder of King Robert, please show up the evidence so that you can clear your name at trial." ”

McClandell looked back from the window, "Who's going to judge?" ”

"The matter should be heard by the royal family himself, since the king is dead, the burden falls on the prime minister, and since the defendant is his own son, and the victim is his grandson, your father has to invite the lord of Cassadine and the lord of Odo to the triumph."

This can not hit McCrandell's doubts at all, in his opinion, the Cassadine family is the most suspicious, once King Robert is dead, the next successor to the throne is King Ronnie Sheehan, and the Cassadine family and Ronnie Sheen already have a marriage contract, then the Cassadine family can be the queen.

"Can I request a joust trial?"

"I suggest you abandon this plan."

"Why?" If he can't prove his innocence, then a trial by joust can save him from sin, and it is widely believed that if someone can fight and win for you, then the gods think you don't deserve to die and can survive.

"To tell you the truth, Knight Knapp, I have no other way but to ask for a jousting trial, and the acting knight I appointed will clear my name!"

"If it's your last move, of course you can, if you stick to it. But I must warn you that Innie Randall deliberately named Janis Odo as her acting knight. ”

This bitch is not going to kill me and then she knows how to choose an old friend.

"I'll think about it." McClandell thought that he could only turn to the Knight of Enod again, if it was the Knight of Arnold, he should be able to beat the Knight of Janis Odo, "Does Queen Mother Inni Randall have proof?" ”

"Her evidence is growing every day."

"Really? Then I'll have to collect evidence. ”

"Tell me who you want, and I'll arrange for the Kingsguard to bring him to the trial venue."

"I'm going to do it myself."

"You are accused of killing the king and killing your relatives, how can you come and go freely!" Knight Knapp waved his hand to the table, "There is paper, there is a pen, write down the names of the witnesses, I assure you in the honor of being the captain of the Kingsguard, I will do everything I can to find him, but you really can't leave this place until the court is opened." ”

"I really didn't do this, Knight Knapp, get me a servant."

"Okay, I hope so, Mike Mike, I hope so."

After the Knight of Knapp left, McLandall sat down in his chair, picked up a quill, and took out a blank piece of parchment, who else would speak for me? He thought as he dipped himself in ink.

......

The night wind slammed against the narrow window, making a "squeak" sound, which made her feel strangely quiet, the servants around her trembled like leaves, and there were a large number of Randall family guards by the door, they were all afraid, was this true? The Queen Mother doesn't believe it, is this true?

She stood up suddenly, only to feel that her fingers were stiff and clumsy, "My father is guarded by his own soldiers day and night, how can such a thing happen?" Inni Randall said, her voice a little muddy.

"The personal guards are indeed loyal to their duties, Queen Mother, but that knight was personally summoned by Lord Randall, and assassinated Lord Randall, and then was surrounded by us and committed suicide." Knight Knapp said.

Eni Randall shuddered a little, fear grabbed her like a sudden storm, "How could father summon that knight in the middle of the night?" It's so weird! What is the origin of that knight? ”

"We learned from Lord Randall's personal guards about this, Lord Randall did not explain what he summoned this knight for, and we speculate that this knight who committed suicide after the assassination is likely to be a ghost hidden in the Dubrovnik palace in Jochris's camp."

"Oh my God! How could a father who had always been cautious make such a mistake! "Innie Randall still can't believe it." Who is in charge of guarding King Ronnihon now? ”

"The Knight of Enod has mobilized the Kingsguard to take on this important task, and I hope you are satisfied, Queen Mother."

How could she possibly be satisfied? Knight Enold has a close relationship with McCrandell, and killed her beloved Knight Giannis Odo, at this time she longs for Knight Enod to go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and regrets that they promoted Knight Enold to the position of captain of the Kingsguard, she wanted to take this opportunity to win over Knight Enold, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot!

But these words of Inni Randall could not be said now, "I will dress up at once, Knight Knapp, and ask you to accompany me to the Prime Minister's chamber later." She reassured herself repeatedly, still suspicious in her heart, still not convinced that Lord Randall had been assassinated by an unknown man.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Knight Knapp turned and walked out of the room.

When I left the Queen Mother's bedroom, the sky had turned to a deep blue, but the stars were still shining, the fall of a meteor, the brightest and most dazzling stars in the world had all sunk today, and the road ahead would be dark!

......

The rising sun lit the top of Dubrovnik's palace in bright red, and the outer city was so quiet that she couldn't help but wonder if the inhabitants were all dead, they all deserved to die, and Lord Randall should not die alone, even if he went to hell, he deserved to be buried with a large group of philistine.

Four Randall guards stood under the attic of the Prime Minister's Palace, "No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission!" Innie Randall commanded, it would be easy for her to give the order, but she lacked the iron will of her father's voice.

She had tried to keep herself from tears, just as her father would not, "I am the only true son of his!" ”

At the top of the staircase, there were two more Randall family guards, and when she passed, she was panting and dizzy, her heart pounding in her chest, blaming the damn staircase, and she explained to herself that there were so many damn stairs in this attic that she wanted to overturn the house entirely.

The hall was crowded with whispering fools, as if Lord Randall was still resting, and no one dared to disturb her, and she paced the door, and the guards and servants withdrew, words in their mouths.

Inni Randall looked at the gums and wriggling tongues, but didn't hear any words, just thought it was a moth flapping its wings, what were they doing here? And how much do they know? It stands to reason that she should have been informed first, she was the queen mother of the Dubrovnik palace, had they forgotten?

"Get rid of these guys!" Innie Randall commanded.

The moonlight poured in through the narrow window, and several members of the Randall family knelt in front of the bed, as if praying, but could not cry out in grief, telling herself that it was Jochris's conspiracy, and that he still had followers in the city, or maybe someone else......

There were rumors in the palace of Dubrovnik, and she couldn't make out the dead for a while, yes, the hair was her father's, but the rest was completely wrong, he was so young, so old, what a coward! The dagger had pierced his chest, and the stench had forced her to stir her nose.

"Pull out the dagger!" She ordered, "Silly? Your Excellency is the Imperial Prime Minister! ”

He's my father, it's my father, should I scream and cry and tear my hair? The Queen Mother felt her nails sink deep into her palms.

"How dare you let him lie like this? Where are the king's scholars, whose father was the king's prime minister, one of the greatest lords of all time, who had the bells of the city ring, and who had him bathed and changed his clothes, as he had done when King Rollssheen died, and clothed him with gold and silk? Where are the King's Scholars? She spun around to face the guards and snapped.

"Steward, summon the King's Scholars at once and let them take care of Lord Randall."

"He has come, Queen Mother Ini," replied the steward, "he has come and gone, and has gone to summon the others." ”

They finally informed me that when they realized this, Innie Randall was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the King's Scholar would rather leave Lord Randall here and find someone to do it for him than get his weak, wrinkled hands dirty, he was a useless piece of waste!

"Anyone can come, find them all!" Innie Randall ordered.

After everything was arranged, the Queen Mother turned around and left to return to the hall.

At this time, Knight Knapp stepped forward and asked, "Queen Mother Ini, what should I do with the corpse of the knight who committed suicide?" ”

"Do you know where he came from?" Queen Mother Innie Randall asked.

"I don't know, he's just an ordinary knight."

"Then take it and feed it to the dogs! Remember, whoever dares to say one more word, I want his tongue, understand? Innie Randall said angrily.

Knight Knapp said, "Yes, Queen Mother. ”

There was no doubt that this was a conspiracy, that it was impossible for a single person to kill her father, and now she wanted nothing more than King Ronnihon to find him......
