"Who told you to do this?"
Buso, who has always been gentle and polite, turned red with anger at this moment, and asked loudly.
As the steward of Prince Laixi, Buso is considered a respectable person in Yulong City. Even the nobles of the imperial capital would greet him with a smile. The officer looked at each other coldly.
"Mr. Busso, I'm sorry for embarrassing you." The young officer said lightly, but there was no sign of apology on his face, "but this is His Majesty's order."
As he spoke, he opened a scroll of letters and placed it in front of Butler Buso.
Busso looked at the order from the emperor with a livid face, and found that just as the impolite officer said, Prince Lehi was deprived of his title for murdering the consul of Letem, and all his immediate family members were expelled from the palace. Imperial Dragon City.
Even this prince's manor was taken back by His Majesty's order, and all the servants in the manor were forcibly dismissed.
Butler Buso felt dizzy for a while, and when his feet went limp, he was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, someone supported him from behind at this time.
Buso trembled and looked back. Seeing that it was Shalia, he couldn't help hissing: "Miss Shalia... Is there some misunderstanding! Why did the master kill Laytom?"
Shalia's eyes turned red, she shook her head and said, "I just came back from the Holy Light Cathedral, my father... he can't get rid of the suspicion of killing himself... but I firmly believe that the Laytom consul was definitely not killed by my father!"
It's a pity that such words of course cannot move the ruthless young officer, only to hear him say coldly: "Your Majesty has orders, this manor must be emptied today!"
Seeing his fiancée's anxious appearance, Earl Evan felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but said:
"This officer, it's best to leave some leeway when doing things. There are still many doubts about the death of Laytom Consul, and the case may not be overturned in the future. If you don't show any mercy now, in the future... hehe!"
It's a pity that the young officer didn't care about this at all, and raised the order in his hand, saying: "I'm just following orders!"
Earl Evan sighed and ignored the other party.
He knew that the guy in front of him was just a stunned young man, and he was probably specially sent to do this kind of offending work.
Shalia also stopped talking to the stern officer, but helped Butler Buso into the door and asked, "Where is father? Has he not come back?"
Butler Buso shook his head: "I haven't seen the master."
However, when they walked into the living room, they saw that familiar and lonely figure from the back.
"Father!"
"master!"
"His Royal Highness!"
Prince Lexi turned around slowly and looked at the three of them quietly.
There was still no expression on his face, as if the current situation did not arouse the slightest anger and worry in him.
"Busuo, go and make some arrangements and dismiss all the servants."
"Master..." Butler Buso choked up, "Did you really just give up like this?"
Shalia also asked quickly: "Father, I know you definitely didn't kill someone! Can't you find the real culprit who framed you?"
Prince Lexi ignored his daughter, but ordered Butler Buso: "Don't question my decision, go immediately!"
"Yes, sir." Butler Buso had no choice but to walk out of the living room in a daze.
Afterwards, Prince Lexi turned to Earl Evan, and asked in a deep voice: "Evan, I am no longer the prince of the empire. If you want to regret the marriage, there is still time."
Earl Evan was stunned for a moment, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment.
He understood that at this moment he was about to face the most important choice in his life.
Whether to get out in time, or to send charcoal in a timely manner, this is related to the future development of Earl Evan.
Earl Evan knew very well that although his father had already planned for him to replace his elder brother as the Marquis of the East Region and inherit the title of Duke of the East Region in the future, this change of successor was not decided by the Duke of the East Region alone.
His elder brother has been the Marquis of the Eastern Territory for thirty years, and has gathered around him a vassal force that cannot be underestimated. These people will not want to see their years of investment in vain, and they will definitely try their best to stop Evan Earl's superior.
Therefore, Earl Evan must seek outside support.
This engagement with Prince Lexi's daughter Shalia was a prelude to the Duke of the East's turn to support the second son's position. I thought that such a marriage would be the greatest help to Earl Evan, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and this Marriage has become a drag instead.
Perhaps it is the wisest choice to draw a clear line with Prince Leahy in time, but looking at the calm Prince Leahy in front of him, Earl Evan gritted his teeth and said firmly:
"His Royal Highness, I am not a follower of power! I am engaged to Shalia not because I covet your power and power, but because of my sincerity! Moreover, I also firmly believe that you are innocent, and you will be cleared of suspicion in the future!"
Prince Lexi took a deep look at the young Earl of the Eastern Region, as if he knew him again.
Afterwards, Prince Lexi turned his head to look at his daughter, his expression finally changed, and there was a hint of guilt in his tone, saying:
"Sorry, Shalia, I can't protect you for the time being. So, you and Evan go to the East Territory first, and come to you after I find out the truth of the matter."
"No! Father, where are you going? I want to follow you!"
Prince Lexi shook his head and said, "I'm going to seek the truth, it will be dangerous, so I can't take you with me."
Earl Evan's eyes lit up, as if he realized something, he asked quickly, "His Royal Highness, do you have some clues?"
Prince Lexi nodded: "I just went to the mansion of the Laytom Consul, checked the assassination site, and found some interesting things."
Shalia also cheered up and asked, "Father, what exactly did you find? Can you clear your suspicions?"
Under the expectant eyes of the two, Prince Lexi shook his head slowly, with deep eyes: "I just sensed a vaguely familiar atmosphere, but I haven't remembered where it is..."
In the middle of speaking, Prince Lexi suddenly stopped, and for the first time, his face changed drastically, and it was no longer the original indifferent expression.
"Father? Why..." Shalia just asked, but was stopped by Earl Evan beside her.
Earl Evan guessed that Prince Leahy had finally thought of something crucial, so he immediately held his breath for fear of disturbing the other party's train of thought.
Prince Lexi did think of something, that familiar aura is simply arcane fluctuations!
And it was the arcane wave he felt when he killed Mr. Zhe!
Although when Prince Lexi arrived at the murder scene, the arcane wave was already very weak, and it was likely that someone had deliberately cleaned it up, but Prince Lexi was still keenly aware of its existence.
It's just that he didn't realize what it was at the time.
Now, with a flash of inspiration, Prince Lexi finally remembered that when he was in the dwarven barracks outside Winter City more than a month ago, when he struck Mr. Xi with three swords, the subspace that suddenly appeared behind him, and the strange blue star. eyeball.
"Hahaha!"
Prince Leahy suddenly burst out laughing.
He is very skeptical now that his three swords might not have killed Mr. Ji!
The other party didn't know what kind of arcane technique was used, but unexpectedly escaped his attack, and even used some means to retain some of its power, and released it on the Laytom Consul.
That's why this time of framing!
"Interesting! It's so interesting!" Prince Lexi seemed to be in a state of excitement, "Mr. Yu! You are such a genius!
But I must kill you with my own hands! "
A dazzling holy light exploded from Prince Lexi's body, and suddenly filled the world.
"Father!" Shalia couldn't bear the light and had to close her eyes.
But when she opened her eyes again, she found that her father had completely disappeared.
Shalia froze in place in a daze, only to realize that her father had already left.
Earl Evan sighed, stepped forward to hold Shalia's hand, and comforted him: "Salia, His Royal Highness should go to track down the real culprit who framed him, you should go back to the East with me first."
"No!" Shalia shook off Earl Evan's hand and ran out, "I'm going to find my father!"
Earl Evan hurriedly chased after him, and shouted, "But do you know where the Prince has gone?"
"Northern!" Shalia said without turning her head. "I heard Mr. Xi's name. That evil mage died in the Northern Territory, so my father must have gone to the Northern Territory too!"
"North?" Earl Evan couldn't help but stop, with a struggling look on his face.
But after struggling for a while, he still quickened his pace to catch up:
"Wait for me, Sally! I will accompany you to the north!"
