Everyday people covet my beauty

The rest of the guards in the tower, like "Freckles" and others, are all caught in an endless mechanical cycle!

"You... what do you mean?"

The person in the shadow was taken aback, he took two steps back vigilantly, and clenched the thing emitting yellow light.

Gu Qingxuan smiled, and said: "What I mean is, I'm afraid you will return without success today."

He opened his hand, and suddenly a majestic sea of ​​flames surged out behind him!

"Nicholas has only one life, and I want this life."

Gu Qingxuan glanced at the "magic weapon" in that person's hand, and waved his hand to summon a fiery phoenix from the sea of ​​flames. The phoenix raised its head to the sky and let out a long cry, retracted its wings, and charged straight towards the sixth floor.

With a bang, Nicholas' room instantly exploded into a cloud of fly ash. The man stood there dumbstruck, dazed and almost unable to understand what happened at this moment.

The fiery phoenix flapped its wings softly and flew back, landed on Gu Qingxuan's shoulder, gently rubbed against his cheek, and stretched its neck flatteringly.Its beak is long and sharp, and a shadowy soul is pecking in it. When looking at it, it vaguely looks like Nicholas.

Gu Qingxuan touched the neck of the phoenix with its gorgeous feathers, and said something to the phoenix in a low voice, and saw that the phoenix's beak was forceful, and it crushed Nicholas' soul into countless powders neatly.

"Ashes and smoke..." The man murmured fearfully from the depths of his throat, and Gu Qingxuan clapped with a smile: "That's right, since you have this vision, the next situation must be nothing to you gone."

"What..." What happened next?

The man was completely lost, Gu Qingxuan suppressed his smile, stared at the man and said word by word: "You think you've lost me in this way, I'll act as if nothing happened ?”

"Since you trapped those guards, you must not want them to discover Xingzang...Although I don't know why you did this, but..."

Gu Qingxuan snorted lightly, he suddenly raised his finger upwards, and the phoenix wings perched on his shoulders spread out, and then flew straight above the heads of the two of them!

There was only a bang, and the fiery phoenix burst into countless fire rains at the top of the tower's spiral upward stairs. The "raindrops" burned violently like a flame, and scattered all over the sky one after another, and soon melted into the heads and bodies of the guards, dispelling the psychedelic magic circle imposed on them.

Gu Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Goodbye."

Afterwards, he turned into a long rainbow, and actually disappeared directly into the light!

Before leaving, Gu Qingxuan turned his head and glanced at "Freckles" from a distance, so "Freckles" who just woke up from his confusion shouted without hesitation: "There is an assassin——"

The shout of "Freckles" was really thunderous, shaking the person in the shadow to tremble.Before he had time to jump up and scold Gu Qingxuan who had run away, he hastily summoned the light of the magic weapon, ready to find a way out for himself.It's a pity that the personal guard was close to him, and with a flash of supernatural power, he leaped up several meters and threw him to the ground. While trying to catch him, he howled like a dead master: "You guys! Where are people! There are assassins! Protect Your Highness! Quickly protect Your Highness!"

However, Nicholas no longer needed their protection: his bedroom on the sixth floor of the west tower was completely blown into ruins.Only the high-tech advanced projector miraculously survived, and it was reluctantly placed horizontally between the gaps between the two floors. A crooked projection of a magnetic rhinoceros was suspended in mid-air, with most of its blood exposed. Dripping viscera.

Albert led a large group of guards to rush over from the other side of the castle, and by the time they reached the tower, everything had been completely settled.Nicholas's ashes were already completely cold, and the "Assassin" had already been captured, and was being tied in place listlessly, waiting for his fate. "Freckles" and the bodyguard, as the two who contributed the most, were standing beside the assassin with their heads held high, but when they saw Albert's extremely ugly face, they lowered their heads silently with interest .

After all...His Royal Highness Prince Nicholas is completely dead...

Although the two of them can be said to have committed crimes and meritorious deeds, and they are the second of the few heroes present, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dead, there is no guarantee of what kind of treatment the Chief Albert will do to them...

Thinking of the methods of Chief Albert, they immediately became concerned. Albert walked up to them with a frown, and asked, "What happened? Why are all the protective devices on the west tower? Is it useless?"

A group of people winked at each other, and no one was willing to stand up and tell the bad news first.At the end, one of the guards in the "Freckles" team finally stood up bravely and said tremblingly: "Report...report to the supervisor...His Royal Highness Prince Nicholas was assassinated by an assassin...just went...died..."

Albert froze in place for a while, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

As a last resort, the guard repeated his words again, and then looked at Albert full of apprehension.He thought that the manager would slap him in a fit of anger, but Albert was only silent for a moment, and then said, "Take me to the scene...and tell the ministers to come to the castle."

Then he ordered a few guards and led them to the death scene on the sixth floor.When passing by the crowd, Albert walked up to the Assassin intentionally or unintentionally. No one noticed that a yellow light flew from the Assassin's arms to his arms.

When the yellow light flew into Albert's arms, the assassin suddenly raised his head, staring at Albert with wide eyes.His appearance was extremely ferocious, and the guard next to him was worried that he had mischievous intentions, so he pulled him back two steps.The assassin was pulled back, but his eyes were still fixed on Albert, until Albert's figure disappeared above the stairs, then he lowered his eyes silently, returning to the previous silent look.

"Be honest!" The guards pulled the assassin and shouted. The assassin quietly lowered his head without saying a word. At this time, in the tower, no one except one person knew the entanglement and confusion in his heart.

"The person who killed Nicholas was not the assassin I sent?"

Albert led the guards behind him up to the sixth floor. As he walked, he was full of doubts and thought: "This kind of method... Could it be that group of people in the temple did it... Why did they kill Nicholas? Because of conflict of interests ?”

He couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he sighed silently and squeezed the "magic weapon" in his arms. The strange sphere that was used to kill Alexander at that time was lying quietly in Albert's arms, flashing quickly on the surface There was a layer of yellow light.

In the hall downstairs, the assassin who had been hiding in the shadows was finally removed from his body, revealing his face——others did not feel anything, only the guard exclaimed, incredible Authentic: "Why are you?!"

That assassin was actually a colleague guarding His Royal Highness Nicholas with him!

If Nicholas came back to life, he would definitely be able to recognize that this assassin was the one he ordered to urge the bed warmer, but now that Nicholas was dead, only another personal guard knew about it.Hearing the exclamation, the assassin raised his head and smiled at the guard, who looked at him complicatedly and unspeakably. After a long silence, he finally didn't say anything about being called to urge others.

Anyway, this is the end of the matter, so why make things more complicated...

On that day, the news of the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Nicholas spread throughout the universe, and the Galactic Empire was shaken by it. The flags were flown at half-mast for three days, and the whole country mourned.

The spaceship of Olivia, Empress of the Galactic Empire, arrived two days later.

After Olivia arrived in St. Loris, Rose Castle changed its owner again, and the traces of Nicholas's supervision of the country were quickly wiped out, only the roses that he had vowed to pull out after becoming emperor Still blooming.

On the day Olivia arrived in St. Loris City, she summoned all the ministers to gather in the castle.After briefly discussing Nicholas' funeral matters, the group walked into the garden of the castle and began to chat about some lighter topics, which is a custom for the royal family and ministers to enhance their relationship.

The atmosphere in the garden is pleasant and everyone seems nice and approachable.Even though it is still during the funeral of Nicholas, Her Royal Highness has already worn a brightly colored ruby ​​bracelet on her wrist. None of the courtiers who had been heavily used by Nicholas mentioned this matter at this time, and there were more or less smiles on their faces.Compared with His Majesty Alexander, Nicholas' death really didn't come out at all. Not to mention that someone stood up and shouted for his benefit, even his death didn't seem to leave a sound.

Death is nothing more than a feather.

Perhaps His Highness Nicholas, who has a violent name, still has a place on the optical network, in the forums, and among the gossip and gossip of idlers, but in the really important court, Nicholas' power has completely retreated behind the scenes.However, in just a few days, the forces that Nicholas had supervised the country for several months and pulled the banner of the temple to stand up so easily had disappeared, as if they had never existed.

But everyone knows that that force did exist in the past.Some people in the court once turned their backs on the royal family and turned to Nicholas, who might have assassinated His Majesty Alexander—this may have seemed like a compromise at the time, but now that Nicholas has died and Olivia has returned, this "compromise" has already become a reality. It has completely become a handle, if Olivia wants to catch this incident...

This feeling of panic appeared on the day when the news of Nicholas' death came out, and when the secret news came out that the purpose of His Royal Highness Olivia's visit was to find the real prince who had disappeared that year, the feeling of panic intensified.When the Amersfield family let out the word that the real Crown Prince had indeed been found, the panic in the court almost reached its peak.

Olivia chose to chat with the courtiers in the garden today to dispel their fear.After all, Her Highness the Queen is not His Majesty the Emperor. The name of the Galactic Empire is not justified, and the power of her subordinates is also unstable. Although it is hateful to take refuge in Nicholas, she is more inclined to take it slowly than to act vigorously.

"The roses here are as beautiful as before."

Olivia wore a crown on her head and dressed in brocade clothes. Accompanied by her ministers, she walked along the garden path. She didn't know that this path was also walked by Gu Qingxuan a few days ago, so she Walking dignifiedly, he didn't show the slightest nostalgia for the surrounding scenery, but just found a topic to chat with at random.

"Sir Albert has always taken care of the castle very well." Someone simply responded.

Few people know about Albert's role in the two assassinations. At this time, he was standing behind Olivia respectfully, with a more sincere smile on his face, and politely declined with his head down. with praise.

Olivia gave him a serious look—although she didn't know that Albert was the direct murderer of Alexander, Caesar had taken the opportunity to remind her that the life and death relationship between Albert and his father associated.

"I heard that you are also highly valued around Nicholas." She looked at him sharply, and Albert bowed his head deeply: "It is the responsibility of the minister to take care of the castle and internal affairs."

...... Saying is equivalent to not saying.

The atmosphere in the garden became a little stiff because Olivia mentioned Nicholas.Olivia realized that today was not a good time to get to the bottom of it. She turned her head, temporarily let Albert go, and continued walking to the other end of the path with her courtiers.

As she walked, Olivia's steps suddenly stopped.

"That rose tree is still blooming." She looked under the window of the castle, with some doubts in her eyes.

That rose tree is just an ordinary variety, and it is planted sparsely alone, and usually does not enjoy the convenience of technology.It was summer when Olivia left half a year ago, and the rose hadn't sprouted a single leaf. She thought it had died a long time ago, but it was really surprising that it bloomed suddenly at this time of year.

Hearing this, Albert raised his head and glanced towards the castle, and quickly replied: "After all, it was planted under the window of your studio... In order to welcome your return, I specially hired a gardener to take care of it."

Olivia looked at him, wanting to ask him how he knew he was coming back, but finally held back.She looked at the castle again, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Let's go to Alexander's study to take a look."

Her words were extremely soft, almost sighing.

Alexander's study... and Olivia's studio are upstairs and downstairs.

After Albert returned to the crowd with a smile, the words Nicholas said in a mocking tone resurfaced in his mind as if he had grasped something.

"Three years ago, you secretly planted a rose under my father's window."

When the rose is dead, I can move a new one.

Albert thought calmly: Nicholas, you...you are dead now, where do you find a new you?
