"It's not obvious."
Earl Evan spread his hands, as if he felt that there was no need to explain this question.
"Duke Miller was slaughtered, and the corpses were thrown there as props to frame us. Doesn't this mean that the Miller family has been completely abandoned.
Why was it abandoned
Apparently it was because someone from their family killed Vera. "
Only then did Anna nod her head, but she was puzzled and asked, "Why did the Miller family kill Vera? Was it bought by the Duke of St. Hilde?"
"This is what I admire the Duke of St. Hilde!" Earl Evan's eyes flashed with strange brilliance again, "You know, the murderer of the Miller family took the risk of his life and family to help The Duke of St. Hilde works!"
"So, you can't guess why people from the Miller family would do such a thing for the Duke of St. Hilde?"
"How do I guess?" Earl Evan shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm not a god."
"Then what does this have to do with us? You still haven't said why the king wanted us arrested."
Earl Evan chuckled: "Think about it, since Vera has died in Silvermoon City, there is already an excuse for the northern army to send troops.
At this time, what should the Murdwin family do? "
Anna thought for a while before she came to her senses: "They certainly cannot prevent the northern army from entering Silvermoon City, so they can only find a scapegoat to bear the anger of the Duke of St. Hilde."
"That's right!" Earl Evan snapped his fingers and nodded, "First of all, the Miller family must be dead. No matter who the murderer is, this family must be destroyed. How can the blood of members of the St. Hilde family be so bloody?" So dirty.
However, the Miller family may not be able to completely dispel the anger of the Duke of St. Hilde.
Especially the Mordiven family, Vera died in the half-elf palace, they must bear certain responsibilities.
If I were the Duke of St. Hilde, I would definitely take this opportunity to abolish the royal status of the Meredith family, and replace it with a half-elf nobleman to become the master of Silvermoon City.
In this way, this new royal family with insufficient reputation must rely on the power of the St. Hilde family to control the half-elf kingdom, instead of thinking about swinging between the east and the north like the Merdewing family all day long. Please both sides.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening, the Murdivyn family must try to save themselves.
And the best way to save oneself is actually to show Duke St. Hilde his firm position—break with the East!
In this way, the Duke of St. Hilde would not have to look for a new puppet to help him rule the half-elven kingdom. "
"So that's how it is!" Anna suddenly realized, "So, the two of us are the bargaining chips for the Mordiven family to break up with the Eastern Realm."
"Yes, as long as we are arrested and handed over to the Duke of St. Hilde, the Meredith family will completely offend the St. Pross family, and they can only follow the northern road to the dark."
Anna nodded, but then she seemed to think of something, her expression changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "Then, in order to show their loyalty to the Duke of St. Hilde, the Merediving family will kill us!"
Earl Evan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "My silly sister! How could the Murdevyn family have the guts
Once it is stained with the blood of members of the San Pros family, it will be an endless hatred.
Hehe, he, a little half-elf royal family, has the guts to dare to offend the paladin family of the empire like this
If he really dared to do this, the Mordivyn family would immediately become the enemies of the Glorious Empire!
The Duke of St. Hilde will not protect them. "
Only then was Anna heaved a sigh of relief, sat down at the round table, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.
"So, we just wait here?"
"Yes, wait. I told you a long time ago that our trip to Silvermoon City is doomed to be a futile one. Hey, it's a pity that there is no good wine here!"
Having said that, Earl Evan stood up, slammed on the thick iron door, and shouted: "Hey! Those outside, can you bring in some wine!"
Anna looked at her unreliable brother and silently rolled her eyes.
—————
Outside Silvermoon City, an army of about a thousand people was advancing rapidly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, let me run! If I don't make it to Silvermoon City before the sun sets, I will sleep in the countryside with you again!"
Knight Rego's loud voice kept ringing, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
After the farewell to Winter City, he returned to Ice Rock City according to Colin's order, led a thousand-man team again, and came to Silvermoon City to join Colin.
However, on the way back to Ice Rock City, he was entangled by several gangs of thieves for a long time, which delayed him until now.
Normally, as long as the banner of "Roaring White Bear" is displayed, ordinary bandits would never dare to attack the noble army.
But this time, for some unknown reason, those thieves seemed to have gone mad collectively, making it extremely difficult for Rego Knight to return to Ice Rock City.
In fact, what Lei Ge didn't know was that these thieves were too hungry to do anything.
The invasion of the trolls this spring caused large areas of fertile land in the northern border to be abandoned, the spring plowing was delayed, and the autumn harvest was naturally not good.
Therefore, this year's northern border is destined to have a difficult winter.
The thieves group became even crazier because of this, and the noble guards, who had been avoiding them in the past, dared to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time.
In short, after Knight Rego returned to Ice Rock City with difficulty, he realized that the time delay was too long. I am afraid that it might be too late to arrive at Silvermoon City before Vera's wedding.
Distraught, he naturally found the Shire knight and wanted to take the cavalry away.
Ke Lin's order only asked him to lead a thousand people to Silvermoon City, and he didn't say whether it was infantry or cavalry.
But the Shire knights refused to do anything, insisting that these cavalry hadn't finished training, and if they were sent to the battlefield at this time, they would basically be sent to death.
In desperation, Knight Rego had no choice but to bring a thousand infantrymen and speed up crazily all the way, almost exhausting the soldiers to death, before finally arriving at Silvermoon City before the wedding date.
Looking at the head of Silvermoon City under the setting sun, Knight Rego finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of admiring the beautiful scene of this garden city under the setting sun, Rego Knight immediately prepared to enter the city.
But before he approached the city gate, a sharp arrow shot in front of him.
"Stop! Who are you?" A question came from far away from the city.
Knight Rego took the flag of the Angelet family from the flag bearer next to him, waved it vigorously, and shouted loudly at the same time:
"I am Rego Moben, a knight of the Angelet family. I am here to attend the wedding of Miss Vera and Prince Tupe at the order of Viscount Angelet!"
Originally, Knight Rego thought that as long as he showed his banner, those half-elves would naturally open the city gate and welcome him in enthusiastically.
However, things did not develop as he expected.
"Sorry, Your Majesty the Knight, in accordance with His Majesty's order, in order to ensure the safety of the wedding, no one is allowed to enter or leave Silvermoon City during this period!"
"Huh?" Knight Rego stared, and a thought flashed in his mind -
problem occurs!
