"Count Losey! Damn traitor, how dare he!" Am Paine, who was watching the battle on the top floor of the castle, was furious, "I want to kill him, and his son! Minister, where is my minister?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Cologne said before that he was going to... deal with something." After a while, the head guard replied hesitantly, "But I don't think he will come back."
"What did you say?" The Lord of Dawn suddenly turned around and looked at the latter panting heavily.
"You agreed at that time," said the chief guard, "in addition to Lord Cologne, Lord Wyrant and "Golden Glass" Neil-His Majesty, it's only me here. "
Only then did An Pein notice that only the chief guard and a few solitary servants were left in the huge hall.
In an instant, he understood the meaning of the phrase "may not be back".
"A traitor again!" The Lord of Dawn gritted his teeth and smashed his scepter to the ground, "One or two is not enough, three or four are needed... My career is ruined by these traitors!"
They did leave with their own consent, but for what reason? One said that they were going to check the defense of the stone wall, and the other said that they were going to the inner court to supervise the maids' preparations for battle. This was originally their responsibility, but now it seems to be a word of avoidance at all!
Could it be that his minister was ready to flee before the enemy launched an attack
"Your Majesty, those cowards will be punished sooner or later, but the top priority now is to evacuate here as soon as possible!" An hour or so, and it will be too late!"
"No, I want to see the betrayal pay the price with my own eyes!" Am Paine pushed him away, "Go to the underground cell and bring me Otto Losey's head!"
"But… "
"This is the king's order!" he said hoarsely.
"As ordered, Your Majesty." The captain of the guard had to take a step back and bowed in response.
After the only subordinate left, An Pein only felt his fingers trembling slightly, his eyes seemed to burst open, and even his entire field of vision was dyed with a layer of red.
He leaned on the chair and sat down slowly, staring at his hands, wishing he could use them to tear this group of traitors to pieces!
It's all over.
When the mercenaries at the head of the city inexplicably swarmed away and surrendered the stone wall, the defeat was already doomed. It's just that he doesn't understand why Earl Losey is willing to risk losing his eldest son and betray him? Why did Horford Quinn's ambitions get the unreserved support of the other two? This is completely unreasonable - although the three major families of Radiance City are regarded as a whole, their respective interests are not exactly the same. In the case of a slight error, he can't think of anyone else who can make them trust them so much.
An Pein found that neither the city nor the three major families were as well-informed as he thought.
In the end, he couldn't wait for the return of the captain of the guard.
The door of the hall was opened by a group of warriors that they had never seen before. The weapons in their hands were still dripping with blood, and there were many bloodstains on their armor, but judging from the other party's expression, there was no trace of exhaustion and exhaustion after the bloodbath. Relaxed, its relaxed appearance is more like experiencing a street fight.
The chief guard claimed to resist for half an hour, but in fact he couldn't even hold it for a quarter of an hour.
The strength of the two sides is too different.
Then he saw the usurper, Horford Quinn, who had sworn to assist the Moa family forever.
In addition to Earl Quin, there were two other traitors who entered the hall together, as well as their successors: Oro Tokat and Otto Losey.
Seeing the latter, An Pein knew that the revenge he wanted had become impossible.
"Why is this-"
"Are you surprised why Otto is still alive?" Auro interrupted him, "It's not too difficult to hide two warriors in the secret passage of the palace, and ordinary iron gates and fences can't stop them from moving. As for how they got into the castle area, you have to ask the guards. I think the guards don't care much about counting the number of people in the acrobatic troupe because of the panic."
An Pein's pupils shrunk suddenly, if the other party is not bluffing, doesn't it mean that he can enter his bedroom at any time
"That's right, just as you thought." Auro spread his hands, "If it wasn't for the King of Greycastle who needed to create a heated dispute, you would have been chopped off by them. To be honest, you are too I'm disappointed, Your Majesty... I thought you imprisoned Otto was just an act of anger, but I didn't expect you to use him to threaten Count Losey and even kill him." He sighed when he said that, "I was originally Thought... even if we don't become friends, you won't forget the past."
"You mean Roland Wimbledon? So all of this is a conspiracy planned by him?" Am Paine didn't care about the second half of the sentence at all, he had been attracted by the King of Greycastle in Oro's mouth, "You guys Do you know what you are doing! You helped a devil - not only betrayed the oath of the ancestors, but also sacrificed your kingdom and people's hands to him! How stupid!"
He pointed at Horford Quinn angrily, "And you! Do you think you can really sit on this throne? In fact, you are just a puppet! Haven't you thought about the reason why he set off this mutiny! If he didn't try to annex the Kingdom of Dawn, why would he oppose me again and again? Don't forget, these people can easily overthrow me today, and one day they will easily push you into the abyss!"
"You're wrong," a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. "He did this because of two things. One was to save Otto, and the other was to protect the witch."
"Ridiculous—" Am Paine was about to scold the other party's presumptuousness and ignorance, but his voice suddenly got stuck in his throat, "You, you are..."
The visitor looks very weak and needs the support of others to barely stand, but even so, it cannot hide her outstanding appearance. The long golden hair and the familiar face reminded him of a person who only existed in his memories.
"Andrea Quinn," but the other party's answer confirmed his guess, "Long time no see, Amperne."
In an instant, all the questions in the mind of the Lord of Dawn were answered, why the Tokat family supported Earl Quinn so firmly, and the reason why Earl Losey was willing to take risks—there is indeed one person who can gain the trust of both, because they of children were in love with each other.
The anger in his heart was quenched, replaced by a sense of powerlessness. He muttered for a while, but the sentence he finally said was: "Why?"
Why did you choose them in the end instead of me
If losing under Roland Wimbledon was doomed, why did you even betray me? I can obviously give more than what they gave. If it wasn't for the accident, this kingdom should have half of yours.
Andrea seemed to see through his thoughts, "Because I'm a witch, Ann Paine, you need to kill all the fallen ones."
