There was a lot of noise when Marco Keys struggled with the killer.
In an instant, all the lords, including Bass Ridges, Bishop Bolton, and others were all attracted.
It was no small matter that the prince was killed.
What's more, the prince died on the day of mourning for the previous king, in the church of the creator god.
Xia Zoe and Marco Keys stood in the mourning room, surrounded by fragments of tables and chairs that were destroyed during the fight, and the floor was in a mess.
The prince was half-kneeling in front of the statue of the God of Creation, with a stunned and terrified expression on his face.
His limbs have become stiff, and he was fatally stabbed between his neck, blood sprayed all over the ground, and countless bright red blood droplets splashed on the white robe of the god statue, and then slowly flowed down... Conspicuous and dazzling.
Bass Ridges stood at the forefront of the lords who were following, his face did not show the slightest surprise, on the contrary, he quickly skipped the strange and eccentric look, his nose was slightly inflamed, and his breathing was slightly rapid and excited. …
However, he restrained his emotions very quickly, and there was no abnormality in the blink of an eye.
Except for Xia Zoe, who had been observing since Buzz Ridges appeared, no one noticed the strangeness on his face that disappeared in an instant.
When Bishop Bolton saw Marco Keys and Xia Zoe, his eyes flickered, and he stepped forward to check the prince's situation after a pause.
Soon.
He confirmed the death of the prince, and then asked in grief who was the murderer
Marco Keyes shook his head with a heavy expression: "We don't know who the murderer is. The murderer has his face covered... He is wearing a black robe that can only be worn by the clergy, but his skills are neat, like... "
"Like what?" a lord asked hurriedly.
Marco Case: "Like a knight trained as a kid."
"what?!"
"how come… "
Exclamations and disbelief continued to sound among the lords.
Xia Zuoyi watched calmly, and suddenly looked into the eyes of Bas Ridges. There was undisguised malice and killing intent, which made him clench his hands involuntarily, thinking that the start was not good.
Marco Keyes: "The prince was already killed when I came with the Count of Desinia, and we didn't have time to stop..."
"Mr. Bolton, it's best to block the church immediately. The murderer of the prince is probably still here. I broke his wrist. As long as I investigate in detail, the murderer will definitely be found."
The corner of Bolton's mouth curled slightly, and his voice slowed down: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, no one will easily leave the church."
Marco Case frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
He added: "Sir Duke, I request that the knights guarding the royal city be allowed to come to the church for investigation. In addition, quickly send someone to protect the two princesses..."
The prince was killed, and Marco Keys guessed that the two princesses would also suffer.
Some lords echoed Marco Keyes' words, and wanted to leave the church and call in their servants and knights to protect them.
But others, including Bass Ridges and Bishop Bolton, were unmoved.
Marco Keyes began to feel that something was clearly wrong.
at this time.
A series of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. The Knights of the Royal City in armor surrounded the mourning room, and the cold and sharp spear was aimed at the lord.
A lord's face changed immediately: "What's going on?! What are you doing?!"
Marco Keyes instantly recognized that the knights in front of him were all managed by Buzz Ridges.
He raised his head suddenly: "Lord Duke, what do you mean?!"
Xia Zuoyi: "Don't you understand? The murderer doesn't have to look for it anymore. Duke Ridges is too ambitious. He killed the prince in order to gain the throne."
"He is now trying to limit the freedom of all of us and not leave the church."
"Mr. Bishop is obviously on the side of Duke Ridges, am I right?"
The lord who did not know the truth was astonished.
The expression on Buzz Ridges' face had already confirmed the authenticity of Xia Zoe's words.
Bishop Bolton looked at Xia Zuoyi strangely: "I didn't expect that this matter would be the first to be seen by the little earl."
"But it's nothing, and it saves me having to say more to you."
"The prince is dead, and Gadayat cannot be without an heir to the throne."
"The Duke has always been dedicated and dedicated to Gadayat. If the king has no heir, he can be elected by the church and the lords. I naturally support the Duke, you..."
A lord suddenly said angrily: "The death of the prince was a conspiracy planned by you and them together!"
"Buzz Ridges doesn't deserve the throne at all! There are still two princesses in the kingdom, and their children can be equally..."
Harry William sneered: "Idiot, do you think we'll let two small fish slip through the net?"
Unlike princes, princesses do not need to enter the church to mourn their late kings. They will wait in the palace for three days of mourning to end.
But now the palace is also under the control of Bath Ridges.
The lord seemed to be strangled by the neck, his face flushed instantly, his fingers trembled: "You, you... sinners who rebel... The God of Creation will definitely punish you..."
Harry William snorted: "The members of the royal family have all died. You have no other choice but to support the Duke."
Marco Keys said angrily: "He killed the prince, it is impossible to inherit the throne!"
But Buzz Ridges raised the corner of his mouth: "Who said I killed the prince."
Xia Zoe frowned.
He just listened to him continue: "The murderer who killed the prince was the Gaina people, and all the members of the royal family were killed by the spies sent by Gaena into Gadayat, and they have nothing to do with this duke."
Xia Zuoyi immediately thought of the death of the third prince of Gaina.
Buzz Ridges and Bruno Green had secretly cooperated long ago when they wanted to kill him before, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not continue to be in touch now, and the two sides will complete shameful deeds for each other.
Just like this time, the Guyana killed the prince.
As long as Bass Ridges firmly controls all the lords, the conspiracy on the bright side can be buried in the past.
What's more, the relationship between Gadayat and Gana is not friendly, and there is often no small or small friction on the edge of the border, and the Gadayat people who do not know the truth will only focus their hatred on Gana. .
There will be no impediments to Buzz Ridges' succession.
The other lords naturally figured this out, with different expressions.
The previously angry lord shouted: "You are still colluding with Gaina?! I must expose your true face and let people... poof."
A long spear mercilessly pierced through the lord's chest, violently provoked his body and slammed it against the wall, blood spurted out, and it scared the others for a moment.
Buzz Ridges withdrew his eyes lightly, not looking at the corpse slowly sliding down the wall.
Harry William: "You have to think clearly that you can continue to be your lord after supporting the Duke, and you will walk out of the church alive, or you will die, like..."
Harry William looked threateningly at the corpse that was gradually turning cold on the ground.
The face of the royal city knight was covered with armor, and the sharp tip of the spear was facing the lord, and the atmosphere was slowly becoming oppressive.
Some lords began to waver, and the expressions on their faces kept changing and hesitating.
In the end, one person lowered his head and moved his steps to stand behind Buzz Ridges.
"Enge, you!"
Marco Keyes stared at the man in disbelief. He did not expect that the first person to walk over was an earl who had a good relationship with him.
Harry William smiled with satisfaction: "Those who understand current affairs will live long."
Someone took the lead, and the rest had no choice but to make a decision.
In the end, except for Marco Keys and Xia Zoe, the rest of the people actually chose to stand on the side of Buzz Ridges.
More lords persuaded: "All the members of the royal family have died, and a successor must be elected... The Duke of Ridges will succeed the king, and there will be no loss for you and me."
Since things have reached this point, they can only accept their fate.
Marco Case's chest rose and fell.
Xia Zuoyi said nothing with a cold face.
After all, there is still a big difference between whether this thing is successful or not, and Bass Ridges will not let him go.
Sure enough, with a look from Buzz Ridges and a slight gesture of raising his hand, the knights of the royal city surrounding the house instantly aimed their cold and sharp spear at Xia Zoe.
Marco Case subconsciously stood in front of Xia Zoe: "What are you doing?!"
"Of course the Duke wants to kill me."
"Whether I'm on his side or not, he just wants me dead," Shazoe said behind Marco Keys.
Marco Case frowned. "Why?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Why do bad people want to kill people?"
"Just like he could carefully plan to kill the prince in order to ascend to the throne, and he did not hesitate to kill those who resisted him before... Do you think that the death of the previous king was also related to him?"
Marco Case was moved when he heard the words.
The rest of the lords couldn't help but look at Bas Ridges.
Xia Zuoyi said: "Do you really choose to follow a person who kills innocent people like this?"
"He can murder the royal family in order to achieve his goals, or he can coerce you for the legitimate succession threat."
"It's hard to guarantee that you won't kill again for profit or to conceal today's truth. At that time, you may not even know how you will die..."
The lords who had just surrendered began to change their expressions and shake their minds again.
Buzz Ridges' face darkened suddenly.
This little brat always hides and secrets his good deeds. He is young, but he has a lot of heart... Xia Zuoyi's existence is like a thorn piercing his heart, and he can't keep it any longer.
He was about to order Xia Zoe to be killed when a cleric suddenly ran out of the door, and then whispered in the ear of Bishop Bolton.
Bolton's face changed suddenly.
He looked at Buzz Ridges and said, "I have something to leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly without waiting for Bas Ridges to answer.
Buzz Ridges frowned and looked unhappy.
But he needed the church's support the most, so he could only suppress the irritated emotions that surged up in his heart, and stared at Xia Zuoyi gloomily: "Kill..."
"Hey-"
A sharp sound like a bird chirping suddenly sounded in the room, penetrating and harsh.
Everyone frowned subconsciously and covered their ears.
Xia Zuoyi kept blowing the bird whistle in his mouth, and quickly backed away, trying to retreat to the small window on the innermost side of the mourning room... However, a long spear in the slanting thorn had already swept away.
- "Bang" sound.
The long spear was blocked by Marco Case and hit the statue standing on the right side, knocking out a crack.
Xia Zoe turned her gaze instantly, and was picked up by Marco Keys and tucked into his waist.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of broken windows, the exclamations of the lords... The scene changed at the same time in front of him, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic and noisy.
A running knight shouted: "Valke William has kidnapped Keith William! He is leading people into the church..."
Buzz Ridges' voice full of anger sounded behind him: "Chase! Let me catch up with them!"
