First prince, pick up your integrity

Regarding his sudden release, Duke naturally had a pair of questions to ask Ludwig, but Lance did not.

The black eyes looked around the room where Ludwig was staying. There were at least seven people standing against the wall outside the room, and two on the roof. gas.

Very light, but strong enough compared to other places in the embassy.Lance can be sure that someone has used dead air at the position where he is standing now, and the time will definitely not exceed three days.

"Your Highness, did something happen to you? Why did Crown Prince Beria let us go suddenly?" Duke's eyes swept back and forth on Ludwig. He didn't feel much before, but now he Think there is a problem.Could it be that last night, when they were all locked up, His Royal Highness Ludwig was...by...

"Did the knightly dogma teach you to bite your nails?"

Duke took his hand out of his mouth, wiped his clothes twice in embarrassment, turned his back and continued to look at Ludwig awkwardly.

"It's nothing, I'm just planning to go back to Conrad with Beria." Ludwig said and took out a paper and pen from the ring.

Duke bit his nails again with a "click", something must have happened!Otherwise, why would the First Prince suddenly want to go back and marry Crown Prince Beria? !

"Your Highness, did Crown Prince Beria force you! How could he do this! He...he...he..." Duke grabbed Ludwig's arms for a while, scratched his head for a while, embarrassed and tense like a dog Scurrying around like flies.

Ludwig grabbed the candlestick on the table and threw it directly at Duke's head, "Shut up!" It made him unable to write well.

After scribbling a few more strokes on the paper, Ludwig quickly stuffed the paper into Lance's hand.On the other hand, he continued to quarrel with Duke, "When will you take care of my affairs? Duke, you are getting more and more outrageous!"

There were people eavesdropping outside, so it was the safest way to convey important things in writing while talking or distracting those people.

Lance took the paper and glanced at it briefly, and he almost understood what was written on the paper. The general meaning was that Ludwig lied to Beria to say that Lance It may be a spy sent by Princess Ellie, who needs Beria to temporarily move Lance and help Ludwig monitor Lance.

Lance frowned, took Ludwig's pen and wrote a few strokes on the paper. He originally wanted to ask "Why did you do this", but in the middle of writing, he suddenly changed his mind and wrote "Why did you help me?"

Ludwig froze for a moment. While deceiving Beria, he also told Lance the matter for two purposes. One was to ask Beria to help monitor Lance as he said, and the other was to win Lance's favor allows him to more accurately find out what kind of relationship Lance has with the gunsmith.

But at this moment, Lance asked such a straightforward question, which made Ludwig, who had not prepared for this question, suddenly a little embarrassed.Because you are useful to me?Because I want to study you?Of course, it is impossible to say such words, so what kind of reason can Lance accept and not doubt?

Ludwig didn't know how to answer, and Duke had already grabbed the paper and wrote a few words very consciously after reading the two people's papers. These words happened to replace Ludwig's answer to this question. question.

"Because we are friends."

It is impossible for the royal family and civilians to be friends, and it is impossible for a gunsmith and a dead candidate to be friends. He clearly knows in his heart that the word "friend" is absolutely impossible, but for Ludwig's sake, he still ordered head.

Lance raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head and smiled, unable to see whether he was helpless or thought Ludwig and Duke were stupid.Pick up the paper and burn it directly with fire, so as not to be found by others.

Gunsmiths can have natural enemies and enemies, but they must never have friends and lovers.The kind of person who is destined to make himself weak and become his own deathbed is the root cause of the scourge of gunsmiths.Lance recalled his father's words in his mind, strengthening his belief that he doesn't need friends!

But even though it was clear, Lance, like Ludwig, did not deny it this time.Because the most important thing at the moment is to find out who the person who exuded the dead air in the room is.

Among the three people, only Duke felt joy for the word "friend".

"Aside from you, who else has been in and out of this room these days?"

"Ah?" Ludwig didn't expect that Lance's words would suddenly jump so fast, so he thought for a while before replying, "A lot."

"For example?" Lance asked in a long-tailed voice.

"Belia, Teton, and a bunch of guards." Although he didn't know what Lance meant when he suddenly asked this question, Ludwig still answered.

"Then..." His fingernails brushed the ground. Although all the blood on them had been wiped dry, Lance could still smell it. There was a pool of blood mixed with dead energy right where he was standing. "Is there anyone?" Injured?"

Ludwig held up the hand he had burned himself trying to cut the rope.Although he had already been cured with water elements, Beria pulled a gauze to wrap Ludwig's hand after seeing it, and wrapped it around Ludwig's hand thickly, looking ugly and serious, But really nothing at all.

Beria had been by his side before, and although Ludwig hated it, he didn't dare to tear it apart. Now that he remembered it, he immediately took out his dagger to cut the gauze.The jab at the palm of his hand made Duke stand beside him in fear.

When he removed the gauze and raised his head again, Lance had already looked at him with a strange look. This kind of look was completely harmless to Ludwig before, but now he knew that Lance was related to the gunman. , making Ludwig feel a chill behind his back.

After a few quick brain turns, Ludwig recalled, "There was also a herbalist who was stabbed by me right where you were standing."

Herbalist?Don't Lance start, is he holding the fragment of the potion part?No matter what happened, Lance decided to go to the herbalist first to find out the truth.

The question that popped up suddenly without cause and effect also made Ludwig wonder, did Lance feel something?When he wanted to kill Milanka before, he took out the skull in this room. Could it be that Lance sensed it?

Although the two of them were silent for a moment, the room did not quiet down. Duke kept interjecting, asking why and how Ludwig's hand was injured.

Ludwig was so annoyed that he really wanted to throw the information about Duke to him immediately and tell him to leave early.But if he gets out, no one can help him watch Beria and Lance, and the more he thinks about it, the more troublesome he is.

Fortunately, Beria had previously explained that in order to avoid "collusion" between several people, they were forbidden to contact for a long time, so Lance and Duke were separated early and sent to other rooms for isolation.

Otherwise, Ludwig really wanted to stuff something into Duke's mouth to stop this guy.He wondered more than once, whether this guy Duke has been transmigrated, or whether the protagonist of the novel has become Duke now?Otherwise, how could the idiot in front of him be so different from the mature rebel before him?

After a night of worrying about each other, Beria was going to find someone to send a letter to the Dross Palace to say goodbye. Now that Ludwig has been found, there is no point in staying any longer.But before his men sent the news, Caesar's order had already been delivered to Beria.

"To Vinilaire?" Ludwig and the others immediately looked up as soon as Beria mentioned the place name.The whole continent knows that 200 years ago Vinylell was a personal name, but 200 years later he only represents a place, Vinylair College.

"Is the front line very serious now?" If it is not serious, why would there be a crusade meeting?

"It's really bad. The latest trend that His Majesty knows is that there are zombies and undead knights emerging all over the continent. There are at least a dozen of them of different sizes." The messenger replied truthfully, and his words made Everyone present gasped.

It's only been a month since the first zombie was discovered, and the situation is probably more severe than anything recorded in history.

"Turton, you take someone to escort Ludwig back to Conrad, and the others will follow me to Vinilaire in three days."

After Beria finished speaking, Ludwig immediately interjected, "No. I'll go with you just to go through the withdrawal procedures. Do you know who Otto's representative is this time?"

"It's the third prince Angus."

"Tch, isn't it Vincent?" Ludwig was a little disappointed, "It's almost as good as his brother."

"What do you call his brother? Angus is also your brother, okay?" Beria corrected a sentence, which once again aroused Ludwig's merciless contempt.

"Only son, you won't understand the hatred between a legitimate child and an illegitimate child!"

"Please, Ellie is also married to your father. If you want to say that hatred is at most a dispute between the heirs and concubines, okay?" Beria finally understood why Ludwig didn't like Andre anymore. With such a son, Unless he is a 24-filial father, he will definitely be pissed off. "Is there a difference between a bastard and an illegitimate child?" Ludwig asked.

The only child, Beria, threw the question to Turton with a look, and Turton threw another look to his subordinates.The eyes passed between several people for a long time, and finally a soldier was pushed out tremblingly to answer the question.

"The dispute between the concubine and the concubine is about the right to inherit. Between legitimate children and illegitimate children... probably they hate their fathers because they like other women and neglect their mothers or something."

After hearing this answer, Ludwig became more certain, "That's right. Vincent and Angus are illegitimate children."

Audience: "..." Hey!Something is really wrong!
