Release that Witch - Chapter 498

[Chapter 491]

For a moment, Nightingale felt the whole black and white world tremble.

Breaking away from the fog, the scene in front of him all returned to color.

The shady scene of the sacred stone dissipated, and the heart that was about to jump out of the chest retreated back—the man who fell on the ground was not Roland, but a guard he had never seen before. , like a wound from a gunshot wound.

“Why are you here?” A familiar voice sounded beside him.

She turned her head, and the speaker was Roland. He was surrounded by several guards in a corner of the hall, so that when she rushed into the room, she didn’t notice him at all.

“I…” Opening her mouth, Nightingale realized that her throat was extremely hoarse, her hands and feet were cold and numb, like the rest of her life after a catastrophe, and her body was extremely limp.

At this time, the only thing she wanted to do was to hug Roland tightly, but she knew that she couldn’t do this. There were other nobles here. Being too close to him in front of him.

Although he clearly told himself that he couldn’t, his body involuntarily walked towards Roland, opened the fog, passed through the guards, and hugged him forcefully.

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene. Obviously, everyone didn’t understand why a witch suddenly appeared, disappeared again without saying a word.

In the mist, she pressed her arms tightly behind the prince’s back, buried her head in her chest, and listened to his heartbeat, as if this was the only way to prove that everything was just a false alarm.

Roland seemed to realize something, and clapped his hands to the nobles, “Let’s go to the dining room to have lunch first, don’t leave the castle for now, the meeting will continue in the afternoon!”

Only the prince’s personal guard, Pei Luo, Sylvie, When there was lightning, he asked, “The murderer is related to this assassination?”

At this moment, Nightingale’s mood gradually calmed down. She retreated three steps with some reluctance, showed her body, pretended that she had never been near the prince and said, “Exactly, when I found out that the instigator behind the criminal was the guard of Honeysuckle.” , rushed over immediately.” She recounted her discovery and Mance’s confession, “I didn’t expect the real purpose of the other party was to lure us away, so as to find a chance to attack…Fortunately, you are safe and sound.”

” To be able to plan this far, taking into account the timing of my visit and the witch,” Roland sighed, “This person is really a waste as an assassin.”

Pei Luo immediately knelt down to the prince and said, “Your Highness, I Didn’t really know he was—”

“Get up, you’ve said that, and I don’t like imposing crimes,” he interrupted, “but you’re at fault too, the castle’s servants and perimeter guards This is your negligence.”

“I…” Peiluo opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head, “I am guilty.”

“Find out his identity and origin, and I will know the result now.”

“Yes , Your Highness!”

After the eldest son of Honeysuckle left, Nightingale asked the worry in her heart, “What was the situation at that time?”

“There was no danger,” Roland smiled, “Thanks to Sylvie’s warning…but let’s talk When he came back, he chose to do it in the conference hall, so he was already at a disadvantage.”

After listening to the prince’s narration, she understood the assassination process—but in fact, it was not as easy as he said.

Although he was not allowed to carry weapons into the hall, the enemy hid a short dagger in his clothes, and he was indeed a castle guard, so no one performed a body search and let him enter the hall directly.

If there was any mistake in the assassin, it was because he was carrying the God’s Stone of Retaliation.

It is normal for the guards patrolling outside to wear the sacred stone, but it is particularly conspicuous in the hall – in order not to interfere with Sylvie’s observation, all the participating nobles took off the sacred stone ornaments as required, and the sudden black hole made Sylvie the first Time noticed him, and when he was walking towards His Royal Highness, Sylvie immediately issued a warning.

Although Roland spoke very easily in the next scene, Nightingale still felt a cold sweat. The hall was about 20 meters long and wide, and it only took a few breaths from the time the enemy started running after hearing the warning to approaching the main seat of the long table.

His Highness had just pulled out the revolver and opened the safety when the dagger had already stabbed him.

The hit part was the lower back. Nightingale, who had undergone assassination training, naturally knew that the waist was extremely difficult to defend against compared to the chest and head, which she subconsciously guarded against. Once injured, the severe pain could immediately make the target lose the ability to resist. Blood vessels in the neck.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Roland was wearing Soraya’s special protective clothing, and the dagger could not penetrate the coating, nor could it stop his next move.

The gun was fired almost close to the body of the assassin. The huge roar made the scene chaotic, and two 12mm bullets directly took away the life of the enemy.

Nightingale knew how dangerous this process was. If His Royal Highness didn’t open the safety in a panic, and if the pistol failed to fire smoothly, the consequences would be unimaginable… She turned her head and glanced at the lightning. It looks like an honest mistake.

“Your Highness, we have found out,” Pei Luo walked into the hall again, “his name is Theo, he is not a native of the Western Region, but he used to be Duke Lane’s castle guard.”

“Duke Lane?” Roland frowned, “Why did you choose?” This kind of person serves as a guard?”

“He was just an ordinary guard. At that time, every family lost a lot of manpower, so I selected those who had little relationship with the Duke, which is also the practice of the fortress…” Pei Luo said cautiously, “I think it’s unlikely that he carried out this assassination to avenge the duke.

He wasn’t lying, Nightingale thought. The subordinates of territories and titles, and the rest are also resources that can be divided in the eyes of other nobles.

For those who are divided, it is equivalent to changing the owner.

Since Honeysuckle took refuge with His Royal Highness Roland very early on, and the fortress has been handed over to Peiluo to manage it, these people have not been reviewed.

“How many people with this background?” Roland asked, “Have you also used people from the Wild Rose, Maple Leaf, and Ben Lang’s family?”

“There are only three or four outside the castle,” Pei Luo nodded. “The servants, leaders and serfs of the other three families are all included in the honeysuckle and elk families. I guarantee that they will not appear in the fortress.”

“Okay , I don’t care about those people, but in the castle area, even the outer guards must be selected from your family, understand? As for the guards in the castle, I will arrange them personally.”

“Of course, Your Highness. ”

Also, seal up Theo’s residence, and I will find out the real reason for his assassination.” Roland looked at Lightning, “Inform Maggie to bring Earl Speer to Changge.” (To be continued continued.)
