First prince, pick up your integrity

With the arrival of Crown Prince Conrad and his envoys, almost all the 20 meters near the embassy in Park Lane City have been included in a special protection zone, and all personnel entering and exiting must be strictly checked.

Duke hid in the alley between the two houses. After observing for a long time, he couldn't find a chance to slip into the embassy. He was so anxious that he unconsciously grabbed something from the side and pinched it hard.

Lance hastily withdrew his hand, and kicked towards Duke's butt in disgust, "Go pinch yourself, why grab my hand!" What if you can't make weapons after the pinch is broken?

"Do you think Crown Prince Beria will use force on His Highness?" With nothing in his hand, Duke turned to grab his saber, rubbing the hilt with both hands back and forth.

"It shouldn't be." Although Lance had a bad impression of Beria, he felt that the two were from the royal family, and considering the diplomatic issues between the two countries, he shouldn't go too far.

But Duke didn't think so at all, recalling what Beria did the first night he arrived at Otto's Palace, he panicked even more, "But Beria is already a repeat offender!"

recidivist? !That is, what has he already done to Ludwig?Lance's eyebrows trembled, and a very eclectic scene was automatically depicted in his mind.Tsk tsk, he just found out that his employer was kidnapped after rescuing Mephisto, and no one paid him the balance, so follow along.How did he let him know such a royal secret that should not be heard by commoners?

Hey, hey, knowing that this kind of thing should not be silenced!I am born with a good memory, and my photographic memory is very stressful.The expression on Lance's face didn't change much, but his eyes quickly changed from ambiguous to worried, and finally turned into a kind of smugness.

Duke couldn't bear it and threw his fist at it, "What nonsense are you thinking about! I'm just making a metaphor. Crown Prince Beria didn't succeed at all! Your Highness is still innocent!"

"Shh~" Lance hissed, lost interest in an instant, and urged Duke, "Go and rescue him, I'm still waiting to collect the money."

"Huh? Aren't they together?" Duke was surprised.

"Can you afford the rescue fee? I have to collect a deposit in advance for such a dangerous thing." Lance did not change his greedy nature.

"I don't have any money..." Duke lowered his head, after a moment of frustration, he raised his head and grabbed Lance's clothes, "But His Highness has a lot of money. As long as you rescue him, he will definitely pay you .”

"What if Beria really used force and Ludwig was raped and didn't want to run away? Then wouldn't I do it for nothing? You know that many little people in this world are raped" It came out." Lance touched his chin, no matter what he thought, it would be safer to take the deposit first.

But after hearing what he said, Duke became completely anxious, grabbed Lance's shoulder and roared, "So it's even more important to rescue His Highness first! How can you bear to watch your friend fall into the fire pit? What about your sense of justice? , where is your conscience!"

"Friend?" Lance frowned.

"Yeah." Duke looked at Lance eagerly. They have been neighbors for so long, so they should be friends.

"I have no friends, and I don't need friends. There is only a business relationship between us." Lance said indifferently.

"..." Duke was stopped on the head of the bar by Lance's words.

The knight didn't know how to continue the conversation at all. He clenched his fists and looked at the embassy. Since Lance didn't want to help, at worst he could go alone. No matter what, he must bring His Highness out.

Lance didn't say anything, turned around indifferently and planned to find a foothold first. If Ludwig couldn't come out and pay him the balance, he didn't mind taking over Mephisto, anyway, a pure unicorn It must be very fulfilling to tame, and when he first met Ludwig, he had plans to buy Mephisto.

Pulling up the hat on the cloak, Lance hid his face in the shadows, and slowly left towards the other end of the alley.He was right, as the last gunsmith, he doesn't need friends, he just needs money.

At this moment in the embassy, ​​the dagger in Ludwig's hand had already reached the neck of the herbalist Milanka.

You... who are you?How come here!Milanka let go of her hands in fright, and smashed the medicine bowl in her hand on the ground, spilling the thick medicine juice all over the floor, and the unique bitter taste of herbs filled Ludwig's entire nasal cavity in an instant.

"Don't move around, or I'll kill you!" Ludwig covered Milanka's mouth and nose, and the knife moved forward again. Milanka was so frightened that she could only nod at Ludwig to express herself Will be obedient.Please Ludwig don't hurt him.

After subduing the man, Ludwig looked again at the man in the costume of a court herbalist in front of him.

With a gentle and soft appearance, this kind of person can't say how outstanding his appearance is, at most it can only be regarded as pleasing to the eye.But in Ludwig's eyes, this face is not as clean and simple as it appears on the surface.

Because Ludwig knew that ten years later, the man in front of him would grow into the leading herbalist in the whole continent, and become another confidant of Beria and one of his many lovers. It was made by the hands of this man.

Including the "undead medicine" that made Ludwig feel miserable after that.

At that time, Beria had many lovers, but Ludwig couldn't figure it out, how did such an unremarkable guy climb onto Beria's bed?At first, he kept telling himself that it was impossible when he felt the slightest sign of it, but when he saw the herbalist who brought him medicine and water every day and Beria turned upside down, the humiliation and anger made Ludwig angry. Even the teeth are almost broken.

In terms of the degree of hatred, Milanka is second only to Beria, and is the second most wanted to be killed by Ludwig.

Ludwig's eyes were focused on the light shining from the silver blade of the dagger, and he showed a bloodthirsty smile coldly. As long as he stabbed this man's neck forcefully now, blood would scramble from this man's body. It spewed out from his throat, just like the servant Ludwig just woke up and killed, there is no future to speak of.

But looking at Milanka's terrified eyes at the moment, Ludwig suddenly felt that it might be too cheap to kill him so easily.

The eldest prince smiled perversely and evilly, and he already had a plan in mind, "Let me introduce myself first, I am Ludwig of Otto, I think you should have heard my name."

Otto's eldest prince?Didn't it mean that Otto's eldest prince escaped marriage because he didn't want to marry Crown Prince Beria?Why would it appear here again?Apart from horror, Milanka's face showed surprise, but his attention was still focused on the dagger in Ludwig's hand.

Seeing the expected expression, Ludwig continued: "You have to know, even if I kill you with one knife, no one will say anything."

"!!!" Milanka blinked her eyes and looked at Ludwig in fear. She wanted to nod but was worried that she would be cut open by the dagger in Ludwig's hand if she moved her neck a little.

"There are a few questions, you'd better answer me honestly, if you dare to yell, I can't guarantee that my hands won't shake." After Ludwig finished speaking, he let go of Milan card in hand.

"First, when did you know Beria?" Ludwig dangled the dagger in front of Milanka, and with the other hand behind his back, he secretly took out the skull.He had no intention of letting Milanka go, since this man could turn him into an undead zombie, so could he.

"Just...just a few days ago." Milanka shrank her neck and replied in a low voice with a pitiful and innocent look, "Crown Prince Beria is here, and the princess sent me to see a doctor for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You're lying!" Ludwig's eyes sharpened, and the tip of the knife immediately plunged into Milanka's collarbone. "Belia has his own priest, and he never uses people who don't know the details to see the doctor. Tell me, when did you know each other. "

"I'm not lying, I just met!" Milanka endured the pain and explained, "There are zombies and dead soldiers on the border, and now all priests above level four have been transferred, and His Royal Highness's own priest has also sent I went to support it. That's why...that's why I was sent by the princess."

Ludwig didn't pull out the knife, Milanka's answer was reasonable, but he couldn't trust the man in front of him.Milanka's credit rating had already dropped to a negative number with Ludwig, but he didn't plan to pursue this issue any further. Beria didn't know when he would come back, and he had another more important issue to confirm.

"What kind of plant is Candle Soul Grass, and where does it grow?"

"Candle Soul Grass!" Milanka was startled, "How do you know Candle Soul Grass?" He should be the only one who knows this kind of plant.

Sure enough.As soon as Ludwig heard Milanka's words, he knew there was a way.

Candle Soul Grass was one of the undead medicines that Milanka refined back then. Ludwig had checked the rest of the herbs, but he didn't see any problems, so Ludwig concluded that he would become that undead medicine back then. The undead monster must be related to this plant.

Without talking too much nonsense, Ludwig Knife sent another copy in, and said with only one word, "Say."

Milanka gritted her teeth, as if she was suddenly not afraid of the pain, she bit her lip tightly and refused to speak.He can talk about anything else, but he can't talk about Candle Soul Grass, at least not now. Once people find out how he knows this plant, his life may be over like this, but the dagger It's on his neck, if he doesn't say it, his life will be in danger...

There was a dead end on the left and right, and Milan Kasuo became overwhelmed, let go of his voice and shouted for help, "Help! There are assassins!"

"You..." Ludwig did not expect Milanka to come suddenly.By the time he realized that he put away the skull and was about to run away, all the guards outside the courtyard rushed in.

The guards were originally instructed to keep an eye on the backyard, but Milanka was allowed in because she had to deliver medicine every day for the past few days.But after going in, they didn't come out for a long time. The guards had already started to become suspicious. Now that they heard such a voice, they immediately rushed in desperately, almost faster than the Swift Wolf.

But when they saw clearly who the murderer with the bloody knife in the room was, no one dared to rush forward to stop it.Everyone knew that if Ludwig was injured, they would definitely end the game, but if Ludwig, who was finally captured, escaped, then their future life would not be easy.

Even Teton, who has a strong heart, came to feel a headache about this plot.Milanka was sent by Princess Sanya. If she was killed in the embassy for no reason, it would be difficult for Princess Sanya to explain, but Ludwig is more important than this.

Turton signaled the soldiers around him to step back, and he tried to persuade Ludwig, "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, you put down the dagger first. It's okay to kill a few untouchables, but if you hurt yourself Not good."

It’s okay if he didn’t say that, as soon as he said it, he just woke up Ludwig.Abandoning Milanka who was in the way, Ludwig directly pressed the blade against his throat, threatening, "Get out of the way."

"..." Turton really wanted to slap himself a few times, why did he remind Ludwig of nothing? !

Ludwig had such a knife, Turton had to lead someone to make way for Ludwig.Originally the knife was resting on Milanka's neck, and with Turton's ability, he could have snatched the dagger empty-handed, but now that the dagger is on Ludwig's body, if something happens accidentally, the Turton family's heads won't be enough to pay.

Everyone's attention was focused on Ludwig, and no one cared about Milanka who was thrown on the ground.The unwilling herbalist clutched his wound, looked up at Ludwig and the guards who carefully surrounded him and wanted to get close but didn't dare.

What does it mean to kill a few untouchables?What do you think of human life?I am also human!Isn't it better to be born?Is the nobility really that great?Father, mother, what the hell princess, and prince are all like this, all of them don't pay attention to me...

One day, one day... the clarity in Milanka's eyes will no longer exist, he looks at everyone in a corner where no one is paying attention, he moves his lips and whispers curses silently, black oozes from the palm he put on the wound The magic lines melted into the wound little by little.

Lance, who had already walked out of the alley and hid in the crowd, stopped abruptly, his body and expression froze, and he turned his head stiffly... lifeless, with unprecedented clarity.
