"Has he never woken up?"
"No."
Facing Beatrice's question, the Marchioness mechanically shook her head.
My husband seemed to wake up the next moment, but it seemed that he would never open his eyes.
For so many days, from the hopeful beginning to the gradual disappointment later, the young Marquise has been tortured to the point of numbness.
Beatrice looked at the haggard Marquise, and sighed, "Go and have a rest, I'll take care of Vincent tonight."
The Marquise shook her head. She knew that not only herself, but the entire Hall family's greatest hope now lay in her husband.
Under such pressure, she didn't dare to relax at all. Even though she knew that it would be futile even if she guarded the hospital bed every step of the way, she still stuck to it, as if this was the only way to relieve her inner anxiety.
"Think about Eckert, he needs you too."
Hearing her son's name, the Marquis finally got some light in her eyes. After struggling for a moment, she got up and said, "Mrs. Beatrice, I will trouble you to take care of Vincent tonight."
After speaking, the Marquise left the room.
Beatrice said to the maids again: "You guys go down first, I will call you if something happens."
"Yes." The maids responded, and then quietly retreated.
When the door was closed again, Beatrice said softly:
"Okay, there's no one else here."
Then, Marquis Vincent opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Beatrice was not surprised.
The reason why she insisted on persuading the Marquis just now was because Marquis Vincent touched her body very secretly.
The marquise, who was in a trance and haggard to the extreme, obviously didn't notice all this.
"Auntie, you are finally here!" Marquis Vincent grabbed Beatrice's hand and finally showed a sincere smile on his face.
"What's going on? Why do you have to pretend to be unconscious?"
Marquis Vincent took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Because, mother wants to kill me!"
"Kate is going to kill you?" Beatrice looked at Marquis Vincent in amazement, and frowned, "Although I always thought that crazy woman would kill anyone for the sake of the church, but...she shouldn't kill herself Son? What's more, what good will it do her? "
"I guess, she should want to push me to the position of Duke of the East Region, and then kill me. In this way, Eckert will become the first heir to the Duke of the East Region."
Beatrice suddenly realized, and said: "So, once a three-year-old Duke of the Eastern Realm succeeds to the throne, that bitch Kate will have the final say on the Eastern Realm."
"That's right!" Marquis Vincent's eyes flashed with pain and hatred, "So she didn't treat me carefully before, she clearly hoped that I would die from my injuries as soon as possible. Even seeing me hanging my breath, she return… "
"What else is she doing?"
"It's nothing." Marquis Vincent immediately changed the subject, "My mother has won over many nobles from the Eastern Region over the years, and even the St. I can't believe anyone, I can only pretend to be unconscious until you show up!
Auntie, you are the only person I can trust now! "
Beatrice laughed at herself and said, "Because I'm the least likely person in the East to be bought by Kate, right?"
"Yes. But it's more because you are my most respected knight in the East, the most upright St. Pros!" Marquis Vincent quickly flattered you.
Beatrice smiled noncommittally, and asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with this situation now? Do you still have someone you can trust? Do you still have loyal knights? Do you still have an army that can be commanded?"
Marquis Vincent smiled bitterly, and said, "Auntie, I only have you now!"
Beatrice rolled her eyes, and scolded ironically, "So you've been pretending to be dead for so many days, and you haven't thought of a way to break the situation?"
"Well, actually, I did think of a way..." Marquis Vincent's eyes flickered.
"what way?"
"I guess all the forces in Bailu City have been won over by my mother, so if you want to break the situation, you can only rely on external forces!"
"External force?" Beatrice thought for a while and asked in confusion, "What kind of power do you have outside Bailu City? Could it be Earl Hall?"
"Earl Hall is indeed an important force that I can rely on. However, he is still far away on the Nushui River after all, and his men are all sailors... There is nothing he can do about the situation in Bailu City."
"Then which side are you talking about?"
Marquis Vincent hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Blood Cavalry."
Beatrice raised her beauty and looked at Marquis Vincent with complicated eyes.
Marquis Vincent quickly explained: "Auntie, listen to me, of course I understand the hatred between the Blood Cavalry Army and the St. Pross family, and I also know that Count Colin Angelet is treacherous and cunning, and has always had a heart for the Eastern Realm. Coveting, but under the current situation, I can only use them to deal with internal threats, otherwise, the situation in the Eastern Territory will only get worse!"
Beatrice smiled faintly and said, "Did you know? Actually, before I came to Bailu City, I met Colin Angelet once in Lark City.
Moreover, an agreement was reached with him. "
Marquis Vincent's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "What agreement?"
"I helped him kill Kate, and he let Lord Fei Yin go."
Marquis Vincent's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How do you plan to kill... mother?"
Beatrice didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I will secretly open the city gate and let the Blood Cavalry into Bailu City. Since they were able to kill your father last time they entered the city, they must be able to kill your mother this time." of the guardian force.
In this way, I can kill her with my own hands! "
After hearing this, Marquis Vincent was silent for a while, and then said: "Auntie, my original plan is actually the same, but... I intend to let my mother die at the hands of the Blood Cavalry Army."
"No." Beatrice shook her head slowly, "Kate must die by my hands!"
Marquis Vincent frowned, very puzzled, and said, "Auntie, why did you insist on killing your mother yourself? Is it because of those grievances back then?"
Beatrice glanced sideways at Marquis Vincent, and snorted softly, "What? Is this the image of me in your mind who must be punished?"
Marquis Vincent quickly shook his head. Before he could figure out how to answer this question, Beatrice said again:
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, I want to kill Kate with my own hands, and there is only one reason—to make the St. Pross family and the church completely break!"
These powerful words made Marquis Vincent's heart tremble.
After thinking for a moment, he finally understood his aunt's painstaking efforts.
Indeed, if the Archbishop of the Eastern Realm dies in the hands of Beatrice, there will inevitably be an unbridgeable rift between the St. Pros family and the church, and the royal family is very likely to accept the St. Pross family's service because of this.
The situation in the empire might change completely.
However, Marquis Vincent is also very clear that Beatrice, who caused this series of upheavals, may suffer endless revenge from the church...
Just when he was about to remind his aunt of the possible consequences of killing an archbishop, he heard her speak again:
"In addition, I have to kill another person."
"who?"
"Colin Angelet!"
