Magus Tech Chapter 27: The face in the shadows
Three days later.
The sky was dark, cloudy and rainy.
The earth is black and dull.
The coffin was black, and was carried by the soldiers towards the cemetery outside the city.
Behind the coffin, there was a long line of people. The first ones were of course the two princes—William and Richard, followed by the nobles of the Blue Lion City, and the lords who rushed from all over the Blue Lion Kingdom. .
The atmosphere was solemn and solemn. A group of people walked **** the muddy road, and no one spoke. Surrounded by the sound of cold rain falling on the ground, the rain seemed to be mourning for King Donnas. It had been falling for three days, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. Among the walking crowd, white steam was continuously exhaled from the mouth and nose.
This is destined to be a tormenting funeral.
The funeral continued and the procession marched to the cemetery.
Surrounded by large yellow leaves of the birch forest, in a clearing in the forest, the coffin was carefully placed into the dug grave.
The priest began to recite the eulogy, and the soil was sprinkled into the grave, followed by flower petals.
"You are being poured out now, and the time to die has come..."
"Shushasha..."
You have fought the good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith..."
"Shushasha..."
"From now on, the crown of righteousness will crown you, and the supreme glory will remain..."
"Shushasha..."
"The world will remember your greatness, the earth will preserve your body, and the sky will contain your soul..."
"Shushasha..."
"You will become eternity..."
"Shushasha..."
In the eulogy, the tomb was filled up little by little, and the soldiers took large pieces of turf and paved it to ensure that there would be plants growing on the tomb instead of a dead place.
After finishing this, the accompanying people stepped forward one by one, and placed the flowers expressing condolences in front of the tombstone. After a while, the whole cemetery became gorgeous.
The funeral was coming to an end. Some people closed their eyes in front of the tombstone, whispering something, recalling the life of King Downers. Some people also left quietly.
The eldest prince William has been guarding by the tombstone. After putting down a bunch of flowers, he walked slowly towards him, walked to him, bowed his head and whispered: "Your Highness, everything is ready."
William looked at Li Cha who was standing in the distance, but did not speak. After a long time, he murmured and asked, "Link, do you think I will be a good king? Do you think I will do better than my father?"
"Of course!" The other party answered in the affirmative.
"Are you the only one who thinks so, or does everyone feel the same way?" Prince William asked.
"Prince, everyone! Everyone thinks that you will be better than King Donnas." The other party replied.
"Huh..." William let out a breath, his eyes flickered, then turned his head, looked at the other party, and said only one word, "Okay."
"Yes!" The other party's eyes suddenly showed a big ball of light.
……
The funeral was over, and Li Cha returned to the palace.
Edward, the captain of the bodyguard, led the whole bodyguard to **** Li Cha back. When he entered the palace, he was slightly taken aback. Looking at the empty hall, he couldn't help but say: "Where is... where is the person?"
The maids who usually filled the hall and made various experimental materials for Li Cha were all gone.
Li Cha said lightly: "I gave them a long vacation."
"Huh?" Edward was still taken aback.
Richard walked into the laboratory, followed by Edward.
Li Cha took out a black wooden box, and began to put various experimental medicines and some small experimental instruments in it, and said while busy: "Dear Father, His Majesty King Donnas is dead, Dear brother—His Royal Highness William is about to become the new king, so I should leave too."
"Your Highness is going to fief the land?" Edward asked tentatively. To be honest, Li Cha's fief has not yet been settled, so it's too early to start packing now.
Li Cha said noncommittally: "Since we are leaving, we should naturally pack lightly, and let those who cannot be taken away be allowed to leave."
Li Cha continued to tidy up. After tidying up the laboratory, he went to the bedroom on the second floor to tidy up. Edward still followed.
Putting the "Chapter of Monroe" and some scrolls into the box, suddenly there were chaotic footsteps outside the palace, not a few people, dozens of people, but hundreds of people.
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the entire palace!
Li Cha glanced out of the window, looked away without surprise, and still tidied up. However, Edward's eyes shrank suddenly, and he said with a little shortness of breath, "Your Highness, these people... these people... seem to belong to His Royal Highness, as if... the eldest prince wants to harm you!"
The next moment, without waiting for Li Cha's order, Edward had already yelled and shouted at all the guard soldiers: "Guard all the entrances and exits of the palace, don't let them rush in, and protect the safety of His Royal Highness!"
"Yes!" The soldiers of the pro-guard moved nervously and flusteredly, guarding all the entrances and exits of the palace.
In the bedroom, Li Cha's face remained calm as he put one thing after another into the wooden box.
Edward looked at Li Cha calmly, but he couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Your Highness, I will cover you and rush out. Although I don't know why His Royal Highness did this, but while they are not yet It’s a lot, and there is still a chance to rush out!”
"Don't worry, wait a little longer." Li Cha said, turned around, turned his back to Edward and took down a few books and scrolls from the bookshelf.
Edward looked at Li Cha's back with a dazed expression, and then it became complicated. He let out a long breath, his eyes flickered, his teeth bit his lip, and his hand fell on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
……
More than a month ago.
In the palace of Prince William, a simple dinner party is going on.
William was talking. Beside him, a figure listened carefully, the light was dim, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly, William's voice became serious: "I asked you to come, but there is no other meaning. I want to be a good brother, protect his safety, and no matter what he does, as long as it is not excessive. At the same time, I also want to be a good king and protect this country well. So!"
The figure was shocked, and the whole person leaned forward, exposed to the candlelight, revealing his face: a head of golden hair, a face of a young man in his twenties, a face full of kindness that seems to be able to dissolve On all the malicious faces, there was an extremely serious and respectful expression - Edward Angelet!
"If I had to choose between a good king and a good brother~IndoMTL.com~ I would choose the former. Originally, there is no conflict between the two, but my brother is too smart, smart To the point where I'm afraid.
He is not keen on power and does not want to be king, so I have a chance to be king. But what if... what if he suddenly became interested one day? My father asked me to entrust him with a large piece of territory and give him enough freedom. In this case, I don't know what he is doing in the territory.
I was really scared. One day soon after, when I woke up, he had already brought a powerful army to the city, and even broke through the palace, with the long sword on my neck. I believe that when the time comes, he will kill me like killing a chicken, without blinking his eyes.
He is cold-blooded, and has been like this since he was a child. He called my dear brother and called his father His Majesty the King. Behind the politeness is extreme alienation. I think he never saw himself as a younger brother, a son, but a stranger.
It's true that this 'stranger' didn't do anything outrageous, but I can't rest assured. Because his disregard for life really scares me. Three years ago, when the blood flowed all over his palace, he didn't even change his face, just watched it calmly. The same goes for the six-month captivity process.
Such a person is really terrible. So, you have to do one thing for me, that is... find the right opportunity and kill him. I will create opportunities for you, but you have to work hard yourself. As long as it is done, then your family's previous affairs can be ignored, and I will guarantee the safety and interests of your family. In short, do it well! "
Edward's expression changed a few times, and then he replied firmly: "Yes!"
