(One)

The chaos that day continued for a while.

But it ended in King Richard's victory.

Duke Henry's subordinates may have a certain combat effectiveness themselves.

However, the group of dragons has no leader and no one to command, which really limits the display of their own strength.

What's more, King Richard got the informant from Earl Saffir in advance, and made preparations early.

This absurd rebellion was quickly suppressed through mental calculations or unintentional calculations.

During this process, Macomb and his party were lucky enough to fish in troubled waters.

They set off the battle first, but paddled in the battle, and finally took the opportunity to run away...

In the words of the person in charge of the rebel stronghold stationed in Wangcheng: "This is the most inexplicable and least burdensome battle I have ever participated in. It only needs to make a big fuss. Of course, it is also the only time I will choose to run away. Fighting... well, but it's none of our business that noble gentlemen fight!"

This makes sense.

All members of the resistance army couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

However, considering not only the failure of this mission, but also the occurrence of so many accidents, and accidentally encountering that event of treason.

Everyone agrees that there will be a round of inspections in the royal city in all likelihood. Although the target of the inspections may be the remnants of Duke Henry's remnants, the rebels who are opposed to the government are not very visible, and more unpopular with the government.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured in this turmoil...

They immediately decided not to contact each other for a short period of time, and at the same time they dispersed into pieces and hid in various places to ensure that they could survive the ensuing search safely.

Malcolm also decisively took George and moved out of the hotel directly, and after changing his disguise, he changed his foothold.

If they didn't want to see Jamie again, they might choose to leave Wangcheng immediately.

On the other side, King Richard was still asking the defeated captives about the whereabouts of Duke Henry.

After getting a bunch of "I don't know" and "I haven't seen anyone" who are equally confused and sad!Where the hell have you been, Lord Duke?" After such a wonderful answer...

He was completely perplexed, and couldn't help expressing emotion to everyone: "Everyone, I'm really confused! Henry usually does things a little far-fetched, but I really can't imagine that even conspiracy He can do such a big thing, so... well, so casually? Or is it that the masterminds are not popular in the field of treason these days?"

Everyone around was equally speechless.

Obviously, they also didn't know what to say to Duke Henry's bewildering behavior.

Among them, Earl Safire was a little disappointed deep in his heart.

Because he had arranged some people in secret early on, waiting to kill Duke Henry when the two sides fought.

After all, although he threw the pot away very quickly...

But as long as the person responsible is still alive, there is still a possibility that the blame will be thrown back.

Therefore, Earl Safire really wanted Duke Henry to die on the spot immediately.

It's a pity that the Lord Duke disappeared before the battle and disappeared without a trace. On the contrary, he was lucky to indirectly avoid the fate of being assassinated.

Earl Safire was helpless, but he didn't feel that Duke Henry was not present on purpose.

It was because that person had always thought highly of himself, and at the same time, he was very dissatisfied with King Richard, thinking that the other party could become king only because he was born a few days earlier than him, but in fact his talents and abilities were far inferior to his.

Therefore, to catch up with this major event of treason, let alone the scene of a face-to-face confrontation with King Richard, he must come.

Moreover, when he came, he might have to laugh at Richard and vent his anger for many years.

But in the end...

He didn't come.

Earl Safire concluded from this: "There must be something wrong."

But firstly, he didn't know what went wrong, and secondly, out of the principle of being cautious and not wanting to attract attention, he also pretended not to understand, and continued to say nothing.

Seeing this, King Richard didn't ask any more questions.

He smiled slightly, and then brought up another matter: "By the way, did any of you see Mr. Dressel? Just now, I seem to be in a trance and heard that he...he is dead?"

Jamie's original plan was to use Lord Dressel's suspended animation to mess up the wedding.

But now, Duke Henry's treason incident directly overturned the stage he was going to perform on, and the king took the initiative to ask questions, so he couldn't bully the king and continue to insist that the cheap father was dead, so he had no choice but to stand up and explain : "Your Majesty, my lord father did encounter a very dangerous assassination. When I arrived, he was lying on the ground as if he was dead..."

Speaking of this, he made a shameful expression, as if he said embarrassedly: "Uh, I have no experience in this field, and I have never seen a dead person. I was panicked for a while, and I didn't check it carefully. I thought it was dead, and I sent someone The people rushed to inform the mother and Susanna... But when the servants left, I took a closer look with pain, only to find...Gods bless, my father is not dead!"

"Ah!" Madame Dressel cried out in tears of joy: "God! Is this true?"

Suzanne was supporting her, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Jamie immediately gave an affirmative answer: "It's true, my father is not dead."

Then, he continued to explain his subsequent concealment and non-reporting behavior: "But because I was afraid that the killer would come to assassinate him again after knowing that he failed to kill my father. I took my father and hid in a guest room. I planned to avoid it first." I avoided it, waited until the environment was confirmed to be safe, and then told the story that my father was not dead. In the end, I heard Duke Henry shouting outside... Well, rebellion... I am really worried about your safety, Your Majesty, and my father had already left It was dangerous, so I hurriedly led people over here..."

King Richard had been looking at Jamie gently.

When he heard the last few words, he smiled slightly and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Louis."

Jamie quickly put on a grateful expression.

The loyal posture he put on was very exaggerated, as if even if the king asked him to jump into the fire pit, he would jump in immediately, and by the way, he took the initiative to pour another barrel of oil into the fire pit.

Leaving aside whether the king believed his words or not.

But the way he behaved, although exaggerated, made King Richard feel very comfortable, and he immediately added a word of concern: "Well, although there were many twists and turns today, they are all resolved. So, dear Louis Yes, do you want to continue your wedding?"

Now that Jamie didn't have the excuse of "Daddy's dead" to cancel the wedding, he felt a little troubled.

But no matter how troubled he was, he didn't show anything on his face, he just pretended to be worried and shied away: "It's okay for me to be a man if I'm caught up in such a chaotic situation, but I'm a bit too wronged Mrs. Reiss is dead. Besides, my father suffered a tragic assassination just now, and he is still not awake, so he may not be able to give us his blessing... I think it's better to postpone it for a few days!"

King Richard looked at him, as if he was trying to see if he was deliberately refusing, or if he was telling the truth.

But he couldn't see anything for a while, so he didn't bother to think about it, and just smiled slightly: "You are right, so let's postpone it for two days! It will be a very good day when you think about it. By then, I’ll come here again in person to bless you.”

The day after tomorrow? !

It took a long time to push back two days!

There was a deep reluctance in Jamie's heart.

But in front of the king, he had no choice but to reply respectfully: "Obey."

At this time, the escaped guests also began to return one after another.

Another servant stood up from their hiding place, and under the command of Mrs. Dressel, who finally recovered her previous butler level after learning that her husband was not dead, they began to shuttle around the mansion, helping to clean up the battlefield, counting casualties and damage, and reorganizing the banquet .

However, Mrs. Dressel only for a moment.

She was busy visiting her husband and didn't care about other things at all. She first asked Jamie which guest room her husband was placed in, and when she finished asking, she hurried away with Suzanne to take care of her husband. up.

Along the way, I also met some guests who ran to the backyard in a panic when they were escaping...

These people didn't know that the battle in the front yard was over, and when they saw Mrs. Dressel approaching, they came over to ask for news.

When it was learned that the king had won, all Duke Henry's men were captured in one fell swoop.

Only then did they show a joyful look, and while walking towards the front yard in a relaxed manner, they discussed with lingering fear: "This time is really dangerous! Your Majesty and we were almost blocked here."

Some savvy people immediately retorted: "It is true that we are blocked here, but I don't think so, Your Majesty. I'm afraid you didn't pay attention when you escaped. As soon as Duke Henry's men appeared, the king's guards also followed." Then stand up and protect His Majesty at the first time, is this unprepared?"

The others fell silent for a few seconds after hearing this.

They deeply hated the immoral behavior of the royal brothers fighting each other without notifying them in advance, but they could only say: "Ah, the king is wise!"

At the end, someone sighed: "I don't know how His Majesty will deal with Duke Henry?"

The people beside him sighed and said: "Yes, this time he really suffered a crushing defeat, and it will be difficult to turn over again."

"Relax, no matter how you deal with him, he is still your own brother, so he won't be executed!"

"It's hard to say, this time, after all, it's about conspiracy."

"Ahem, by the way, you all only care about Duke Henry, but no one feels sorry for Mrs. Lauris?"

"Pooh! Poor thing about her, I say, poor Dressel family. I think the goddamn bitch has a lot of bad luck in her life! If we don't attend this bloody wedding of hers, we won't." It’s not possible to encounter such a terrible scene.”

"You can't say that. If Duke Henry really wants to act, even if there is no wedding, there will be other things."

"Whatever you say, I still think this woman is designed to bring bad luck to people. For example, on this day, first old Dressel heard that he had been assassinated and almost died, and the news of his death spread once; then , Mrs. Dressel brought her daughter together, and almost fainted from crying; and... the little Dressel named Louis seems to be fine, but it is miserable when you think about it! First, she wants to marry a well-known whore , Then, the wedding almost turned into a funeral. You look around again... A group of people are fighting and fleeing, and this good house, yard, and trees have all been destroyed. "

Such a far-fetched statement!

The Dressel family seemed really miserable.

The group of gossip-talkers immediately sighed and sympathized for a while.

However, just when they were sharing gossip and exchanging information in full swing...

Suddenly, Duke Henry took Mrs. Laurel's arm and walked out swaggeringly.

A dandy was eager to share with you some of the affairs of Mrs. Laureys before she became the king's mistress.

But when he raised his head inadvertently, he was taken aback on the spot, his eyes almost popped out of the frame, and he opened his mouth and said, "Fuck! I'm fucking fucked!"

(two)

The ghost, that is, Duke Henry's attitude was unusually calm.

Judging from the calm expression on his face, it is almost impossible to see that this person has just failed in the rebellion and is about to become a prisoner; He was tied and gagged, but on the contrary, he walked slowly with Mrs. Lauris on his arm, quite personable.

The two walked over so slowly...

It's almost like attending some high-profile banquet together.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

There was a bold and showy dude who took the initiative to salute and said, "Hello, Your Excellency Duke."

Duke Henry nodded to him kindly, first he said hello, and then glanced at everyone present.

Then, he actually took the initiative to smile at everyone, and even said hello: "Good afternoon, everyone!"

The atmosphere of silence was broken.

Although everyone knew that he had made a big mistake this time, he would definitely suffer in the future.

But for one thing, due to his duke status, he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous;

Secondly, maybe his current performance was too unexpected, and everyone was a little overwhelmed by his calm and calm demeanor without fear of life and death at this time.

Therefore, after hearing the greeting, everyone responded politely: "Good afternoon, my lord!" "Don't say it, it's a good day, my lord duke." "God bless, you still look radiant! "

And I don’t know that the foodie nobleman came up with such a sentence: "Stop talking about these boring polite words, let's have something real! Your Excellency Duke, would you like to go to the front with us to eat something? Toss By now, I am so hungry that I can eat two sheep!"

Duke Henry nodded immediately: "Okay, I'm really hungry and I'm looking for something to eat. Since we're all going to the front yard, let's go together."

Then, he also took the initiative to say: "My brother Richard should also be in front, right? It's just right, let's meet by the way."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Just because in their thinking, since the Lord Duke has failed in his treason, normally speaking, shouldn't he hide from His Majesty the King and run far away?

Now, why did you take the initiative to deliver it to your door?

What if the king got angry and killed him regardless of the royal brothers?

There are also some cunning, shrewd characters in the group.

Hearing what Duke Henry said, he immediately turned around and ran quickly to the front yard, rushing to report to the king and ask for credit.

As for the rest of these people...

Otherwise, the brain is born with a lack of strings, and I have never thought about anything;

Or else it is a pure dandy who doesn't think about making progress, or doesn't like to make money, and only cares about his own happiness and happiness all day long;

Or else it is a person who pretends to be stupid and low-key who doesn't want to get involved in this matter although he thinks things clearly.

But no matter what type of people they are, they can't help but agree at this moment: "Whether this behavior is right or wrong, this duke is absolutely brave enough to dare to face the king so directly!"

Therefore, they did not say anything.

But in my heart, I was very admirable, and my attitude eased up.

Duke Henry continued to walk forward with Mrs. Laurels on his arm.

Moreover, he didn't forget to wave to these people, motioning to follow.

Those people thought, there are so many of us, what can we do if we only accompany the Duke all the way?

Besides, there will be a big gossip about the royal brothers duel soon!

It's exciting and exciting to think about.

No one wants to miss it!

So, they forgot all the fears and fears they had when they were running away, and walked forward closely with Duke Henry, while whispering small things behind them, and from time to time, they secretly looked at the Duke curiously. , wanted to see his reaction, and secretly guessed what he was thinking now?

Duke Henry just pretended not to see it.

He maintained an unhurried pace, holding Mrs. Laurie's arm very affectionately, and walked towards the front yard so slowly...

The look on Mrs. Lauris's face did not look like the duke had no flaws.

But her current expression tends to be more contemplative and hesitant.

But who knows what she is thinking about, and what is she hesitating about?

Therefore, even if it is seen by others, it is also confusing.

When King Richard finally saw Duke Henry, the culprit of today's treason, he was quite surprised for a while.

Just because he saw - this treacherous younger brother was actually holding his mistress's arm, and was surrounded by a group of nobles like stars, and he was very swaggering.

"Greetings, Brother Wang."

With his usual calm attitude, Duke Henry saluted politely.

King Richard's prudent gaze could not help but linger on his face for a moment.

But after a while, his usual smile returned to his face, and he said in a joking tone: "Henry, Henry, it's a little hard for me to even see you now!"

However, Duke Henry does not seem to intend to go around the corner.

He said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the reason why it is difficult for you to see me is entirely because I made a big mistake and had to deliberately avoid you."

King Richard was amazed.

The people around who were waiting to read the gossip were equally surprised when they heard his confession of guilt without any sophistry.

Therefore, in order to be able to understand the progress of the matter at the first time;

Also to know whether the king will punish the Duke severely and order his head to be cut off...

These spectators who joined in the fun were not afraid of the king's dissatisfaction, and even took a few steps closer to surround them.

If it weren't for the king's guards who blocked it a little bit, these people might have surrounded the royal brothers.

Jamie was also curious about the scene in front of him.

only……

It is different from other people's attention to Duke Henry.

His attention was more focused on that Mrs. Lauris.

From the appearance of Duke Henry.

This stunningly glamorous lady who likes to show off and never allows others to ignore her, unexpectedly kept silent from the beginning to the end.

For her.

This is very unusual.

Jamie couldn't help staring at her quietly.

Mrs. Lauris frowned slightly, as if something was really difficult to decide.

Jamie had a faint premonition of a turning point.

About that...they didn't like each other very much, but they couldn't refuse the turning point of the wedding for the time being.

But what will this turning point be?

While he was thinking...

On the other end, King Richard stared at Duke Henry solemnly.

"Oh? So? Do you also admit that you made a big mistake?" He asked the half-brother calmly.

"Yes."

Duke Henry admitted without saying a word.

Even if the people around had already had a little bit of expectation because of the words just now, they still couldn't help being surprised when they heard this, and thought: "He actually admitted it like that! Why did he just admit it like that?"

King Richard immediately showed a regretful expression, and asked again sharply: "So, do you admit that today you are here to usurp the throne and commit treason, committing treason and injustice?"

However, just when everyone thought they would get an affirmative answer again...

Duke Henry unexpectedly made a stunned expression.

Then, he played a rogue with an innocent face: "What? What usurpation and treason, what big treason, what are you talking about, Brother Wang? There is nothing at all."

Everyone present was stunned.

What do you mean?

Can such a case with such solid evidence be overturned?

King Richard, meanwhile, was not too surprised.

On the contrary, there was a quick smile on his face, he was only worried about being seen by others, so he quickly withdrew it, put on a serious look and continued the interrogation: "Then, please explain to me the situation in front of me ?”

"You and your men rushed in with so many people, surrounded Lord Dressel's mansion, and openly clashed with my guards. What is your intention?"

"Ha, it's not like you specially prepared some unique entertainment program for this wedding, right?"

Duke Henry then let out a long sigh.

Then, he showed a slightly bleak smile towards Mrs. Laureys, and said in a heavy tone: "This is exactly the big mistake I made."

"Your Majesty, you are right. It is indeed not an entertainment program, but it should not be called treason and usurpation! Just because..."

"I'm here to steal the marriage!"
