The Wangcheng dungeon is by no means a good place, the cells in the prison are small and damp, a few square meters of space is only placed with a wooden bed, and the walls are covered with mildew stains from long-term residual water stains, but nothing can be smelled, and no matter how long the rancid smell is, the sense of smell will slowly adapt and become numb.

Former Frosthoof Adjutant General Norden Regnom has been locked up here for several years, from the initial anxiety and mania to the gradual adaptation to the gap in identity, he has no trouble with this in his heart, and accepts his fate calmly.

Today was an incomparably small day in his thirty-year sentence, and Norden had even lost track of time, wondering what time it was, and was living as usual in a state of confusion.

However, an uninvited guest who came suddenly today broke his original rhythm of life.

Perseus, dressed in civilian clothes and draped in black robes, stood outside the cell door, silently watching the unkempt Norden.

The Frosthoof Legion is one of the frontier legions stationed in the north, and they do not return to the interior all year round, let alone enter the royal palace, so Norden has no idea what the legendary Persius van Doguland looks like, nor does he know that the person in front of him is the supreme king.

Norden looked Perseus up and down and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Persius: "I am the bodyguard of His Royal Highness Andrew, the second prince, and His Highness has entrusted me with a message to ask you." ”

As soon as he heard Andre's name, Norden's eyes seemed to burn, and he roared angrily: "Didn't I do what you said?!" What else are you going to do?! ”

Perseus narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I heard resentment in your voice, you seem to be wronged?" ”

Norden reluctantly closed his eyes and for some reason stopped talking.

Pertheus put his hand into his bosom, took out a badge, and said: "I lied to you just now, I am not Andre's man, I am the royal guard of His Majesty the King, and His Majesty has been looking through the files of the Frosthoof Legion recently, and found some suspicious points in it, and ordered me to interrogate you clearly." ”

"Imperial guards?! Norden's eyes widened, and he squeezed to the edge of the cell door, looked at the badge carefully, and muttered, "Your Majesty has paid attention to this?" ”

Pertheus withdrew the badge and asked silently, "Your Majesty is interested in that man named Kevin Troyin, tell me the story between you." ”

Norden didn't know why he was a little cringe, and his voice was lowered: "I don't dare to say... Otherwise my parents and children would be in danger. ”

Pertheus: "Your Majesty has an edict, not to mention immediate execution, and all the immediate family members will be executed together." ”

Norden was so frightened that the sweat was dripping down, he struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Okay... I say... But where to start? ”

Perseus: "Well, I ask, you answer." Was that Kevin Troyin really from a humble background before? How did he suddenly jump two levels in a row to become a centurion? ”

Norden whispered: "It's true that he was born as a civilian, and when he first came, he was an unknown soldier, but he was very talented and brave. I also learned later that Kevin joined the army because of the funding and support behind him. ”

Pertheus: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Norden hesitated for a moment, perhaps because he was afraid of the punishment that might come, so he could only honestly move: "It's the second prince Andre... Kevin was a person that Andre dug up from the people, including him who suddenly became a centurion later, and it was Andre who greeted the main general at the time. ”

Andre often discovers talents in the private sector, finances them, and uses them for the country, which is something that many people know, and Perseus was not surprised, he continued to ask: "What about later?" You and Kevin's alternate commander, why did you suddenly resell the control materials? Can't feed you with military salaries? ”

Norden clenched his teeth and said unwillingly: "That's an injustice!" I didn't resell any supplies at all! I'm a lieutenant general, is there a need to resell supplies? It was Kevin who deliberately united with others to frame me in order to get on top! ”

Perseus frowned and said, "Are you a fool when you are the judges?" Without a complete confession and physical evidence, they dare to convict a royal nobleman? And you are Regnome's person, according to the law, the leader should be tried by Sting himself, if you are framed, just tell Sting to help you find out? ”

Norden clenched his fists, and his voice trembled a little: "At that time, Lord Sting did question me, but I didn't cry out for injustice, and directly confessed..."

Pertheus was a little puzzled by this action, and he asked suspiciously, "Why do you plead guilty?" ”

Norden whispered, "I am not from the Regnome family, but a retainer who joined the clan later, and I have no status in the clan. My parents were only small local nobles, and they couldn't enjoy the treatment of royal nobles. ”

"Kevin didn't just fake evidence to frame me, the people behind him also held my parents and children hostage, and if I didn't plead guilty, they would have been killed. In order to save my family, I had to give up everything I had..."

"You just said that Kevin's 'man behind it' held your family hostage." Perseus' eyes were like torches, and he asked deeply, "To make it clearer, name the person behind this 'back'." ”

Norden clenched his teeth and knelt directly to the ground, his voice very low and deep: "My lord, I beg you to go back and report to His Majesty the King, so that he will not ask about this matter again!" ”

"It doesn't matter if some things don't come out, once they come out, the whole kingdom will be in turmoil! Please go back and tell Your Majesty, I was dazed and talking nonsense, I am indeed reselling controlled materials, there is no grievance, and there is no Kevin's 'person behind it', please don't ask again..."

Pertheus: "Your Majesty, you must reply." ”

Norden's whole body froze in place, his eyes turned from empty to dazed, and then as if he realized something, he stared blankly at Perseus in front of him, tears unconsciously flowed from his eyes, and the dignified man couldn't help but sob.

Norden bowed down to Perseus and said in a loud voice: "There are two people behind Kevin, one is the second prince Andrei I just mentioned, he colluded with the former chief general of the Frosthoof Legion, the party is the same as the other, excludes dissidents, and specially allows his disciples to be promoted. ”

"There is another person who has power and covers the sky with only one hand, has close contacts with officials in various places, and is also the person who holds the family roll hostage and frames me, this person is..."

Norden repeated the man's name: "The right hand of the current king, one of the leaders of the six kings, Lanxian Hedge." ”

Perseus stood silently in place, like a statue that did not move, except for a cold glint hidden in his eyes.

In the end, Perseus didn't say anything, didn't ask any more questions, and turned and walked out of the dungeon.

Behind Pertheus, Norden bowed to him again, and his voice came faintly: "Your Majesty, my family scroll... Please ask Your Majesty to protect you! ”
