Chapter 489 Assassination

Bailu Castle, banquet hall.

Melodious music, delicious food, and beautiful maids... could not soothe the anxious hearts of the guests.

Originally, the news of the assassination of Count Angle had already made everyone feel anxious. Later, when they heard the sound of fighting in the city, everyone could not sit still. They thought that the blood cavalry was coming into the city to avenge Count Angle, they were so scared that they were ready to say goodbye and leave.

The housekeeper of the San Prous family tried his best to keep it, but it still went to no avail.

These nobles in the East Realm did not want to stay in Bailu Fort, waiting for the blood cavalry who were determined to take revenge to come in and bury the San Prous family, so they all wanted to leave with their hearts.

However, when they hurried to the entrance of Bailu Castle, they found that the castle gate was tightly closed, and a team of fully armed guards blocked the gate.

The guests immediately started to clamor and asked to open the door and let them leave.

But the guards were unmoved at all. It seemed that they had received clear orders and were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving.

"Who made you block the door?"

"Is the San Prous family planning to bring all the nobles of the East Realm to die together?"

"Where is the Duchess? We want to see her..."

...

"I'm here."

Seeing that the situation was in danger of losing control, the Duchess finally came out.

The chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.

A nobleman from the East immediately stood up and questioned:

"Duchess, why did you forbid us from leaving Fort Bailu?"

The Duchess did not answer this question, but asked, "Everyone, why are you so anxious to leave?"

Such wisely asked seemed to anger the nobles, and someone immediately shouted:

"Duchess, why do you ask clearly! The San Prous family did not have the ability to protect the safety of the guests in the Fort Bailu, which led to the assassination of the Count of Angeles. Now the Blood Cavalry is about to enter the city to avenge him. Do we still want to stay here and wait for death?"

"The Blood Cavalry did not enter the city." The Duchess said lightly.

This sentence stunned the nobles of the East Realm, but soon, a look of doubt appeared on their faces, obviously thinking that the Duchess was deliberately deceiving them.

"Duchess, you said the Blood Cavalry did not enter the city, so what's going on with the fierce fighting outside now?"

"That was Count Nicol who betrayed the East and was fighting against the Tianma Legion, and had nothing to do with the Blood Cavalry."

"Earl Nicol?"

"betray?"

...

The nobles from the East immediately whispered and talked a lot, obviously they didn't expect that this was the case.

The Duchess took the opportunity to continue, "Yes. You don't have to worry about the Blood Cavalry at all, because although the news of the death of the Count of Angeles had been spread, there was no movement in the Blood Cavalry's camp.

Obviously, the generals of the Blood Cavalry are all sensible people and will not make irrational actions on impulse.

Some people want to use the death of the Count of Angeles to provoke the relationship between the San Prous family, the Blood Cavalry, and even the Northern Territory. Their intentions are extremely sinister, but not everyone will be fooled!

Of course, our San Prous family has the responsibility for the death of the Earl of Angeles and will definitely make necessary compensation. However, now that the orc invasion is imminent, we must do the first thing we need to do is to unite and not continue to fight in the internal struggle.

I believe the Blood Cavalry will definitely understand this.

So, your worries are redundant.

Now the riots in Bailu City were only initiated by the Nicole family, and the situation was under the control of the Tianma Legion, so you don’t have to be so nervous at all.”

After these words, the guests' expressions were obviously much relaxed.

They were all people who had witnessed the terrifying combat power of the Blood Cavalry, and they had already had psychological shadows, but if the Blood Cavalry had not entered the city, they would not have been so scared.

Nicole family rebellion?

It's not easy to calm down.

But some people also questioned: "Duchess, since the Tianma Legion has been able to control the situation in the city, why are you so nervously blocking Bailu Fortress and strictly prohibiting entry and exit?"

The Duchess glanced at the nobleman who was talking, and his face became gloomy and said coldly:

"Of course it is to prevent the murderer who assassinated the Earl of Angeles from taking the opportunity to leave Bailu Castle!"

This is a high-sounding reason.

The guests who came were not sure that Colin was already a sixth-level knight, otherwise they would definitely be shouting for injustice.

If you can assassinate a sixth-level knight, you should have at least the strength of the fifth level, otherwise you may not be able to get close to you at all.

The fifth-level knight is not a cabbage, there are not many on the scene.

After everyone calmed down, the Duchess spoke again:

"Next, I will personally ask you about your whereabouts tonight one-on-one. If you have any offense, please forgive me. I believe everyone wants to find out the murderer who killed the Earl of Angeles as soon as possible."

Seeing that no one objected, the Duchess was about to start "inquiring", but saw a guard running over hurriedly, with an unconcealed panic on his face.

The Duchess couldn't help but feel anger in her heart.

There were too many unexpected situations tonight, and she was already in a state of anxiety and never wanted to see more accidents again.

But unfortunately, the accident still came.

The guards faced the Duchess's sharp gaze and walked up to him with a whisper:

"Madam, Marquis Vincent...he...unfortunately died..."

Hearing this, the Duchess breathed a sigh of relief. Marquis Vincent's death was actually long before she expected, oh no, it was in the plan.

Of course, on the surface, she immediately looked heartbroken and choked to everyone:

"Everyone... I'm really sorry... Vincent still couldn't survive... He was unfortunately dead because of his injuries..."

After hearing this, the guests were stunned for a moment and quickly spoke out to comfort him.

But the guards beside him were stunned, hesitated for a moment, and still reminded in a low voice:

"Madam, the Marquis is probably not dead because he was seriously injured, but because he was just killed..."

The Duchess's eyes shrank, stared at the guards coldly, and scolded, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded, "Madam, how dare I talk nonsense, but the head of the Marquis was twisted off..."

The Duchess's face changed drastically and immediately walked towards Marquis Vincent's room.

Left a group of guests were stunned and looked at each other in a daze.

...

The Duchess came to Marquis Vincent's room with a dark face and indeed saw the body of his son's body and head.

Although she herself wished that Marquis Vincent would die sooner, it was definitely not in this way.

"What happened at that time?" The Duchess's voice was so cold.

The guard replied tremblingly: "Madam, all the guards guarding outside the house were killed. When the patrol team in the castle found something wrong, they pushed the door open and saw that the Marquis had been killed.

Oh by the way, Mrs. Beatres was also in the room and was also killed."

The Duchess noticed Beatrice's existence, and a pleasant sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she quickly disappeared.

She slowly walked to the body of Marquis Vincent and prepared to check the situation.

But just as the Duchess squatted down, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from behind her.

After looking back, he saw that Beatrice, who was supposed to die, pounced on her.

The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold and cold light!
