Riding and Slashing

Li Ang now finally understood why Ulrik wanted the Three Prophets and the Lion Knights to slaughter Trubrun.

But the problem is...that Ailian came back from the dead, and appeared under Fawcett's subordinates, and even followed him to fight in De'xia territory—but Li Ang sent him away at that time.

Considering that it was the three prophets who led people to slaughter Trubrun, it is not surprising that Ailian came back from the dead.

"Ailian...maybe it's his name, I'm too uncertain, I only know that he is the captain of the squadron here, and he is a member of the Duke of Brennus - he was originally sent by the Duke of Brennus He was in charge of silence, but after he hooked up with the queen, he was transferred to the Lion Knights, so I came in and became a cook..."

The fat cook explained the matter very clearly and was full of desire to survive.

"Who knows about the little princess?"

Li Ang has already started to think about how to change the original plan.

"Anyone who knows should be dead...I killed those maids. Only when Princess Felina fell ill last year, His Majesty the King told her, but she and His Majesty are both dead now... Now, probably No one knows anymore but the Duke of Brennus and myself."

The fat cook thought for a while, then shook her head.

"It's impossible for no one to know... If no one knows, how did King Ulrik know about it two years ago?"

Li Ang also shook his head, pulled out his sword and sighed: "You'd better think carefully..."

"Two years ago..."

The fat cook thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Maybe the Duke of Alma knows. The Duke of Alma visited here the year before last, and His Majesty the King hosted a banquet here to entertain him. I was the one who cooked and served the food. Alma The Duke of Alma tried to betroth his youngest son to the little princess, but His Majesty refused... I remember they had a quarrel at the banquet. After the Duke of Alma left, His Majesty lost his temper for a long time, and since then he has often Since then, the walls of the House of Nobles have added guards... However, the Duke of Alma and his youngest son are also dead."

Alma?
The youngest son of the Duke of Alma should have died in Fawcett's hands by now...

However, Alma planned to let a young son who could not inherit the family business be betrothed to the king's only daughter?
Then this means that Alma must have known about it—he probably told the king that the little princess was not his own after the king refused to be engaged, and he must have tried to persuade Ulrik to marry the little princess to his little princess. son.

But the king probably still didn't agree - it is estimated that the king was not convinced of this at that time, so the banquet broke up unhappy.

But since then Ulrik's temperament has changed drastically, and obviously that was the turning point.

Now that Alma knows, then...would Fawcett know too?

That's why he recruited Ailian...

Li Ang let out a long breath—that's how it is!
Since Eric and Grandlon had reported that there might be something wrong with Fawcett, Li Ang was already guarding against him.

Before coming to Lion City this time, Li Ang asked Wendy Erfu to send orders to prepare for the battle, and asked Grand Long to take the First Banner Guard to Lion Lake City in advance, all in order to guard against Fawcett—or, to prevent The heresy uses Fawcett's identity to do things.

In fact, he just needed to be on guard. After all, he knew that there might be problems with Fawcett's identity. With such an obvious goal, it would be easier to control the situation if something happened. There was no need to startle the enemy.

Moreover, Wendy sent orders everywhere, so she would naturally go to Ermine, and she should come to report the situation to Leon in a short time.

Since this matter is related to Fawcett, and Fawcett may have been replaced by a heretic, then Li Ang's plan has to be changed.

This cook is really important, she won't be able to die for a while, so Li Ang locked her in the tower again.

Afterwards, the search in the tower was over, and no other suspicious persons were found, and the corpses in the basement were indeed four maids.

But Li Ang was very disturbed - he didn't find the prophet who used the identity of Anna, nor did he find any other heresy like the blood-sworn witch.

Most importantly, that Circe, that is, the prophet who used the identity of the maid, could not be found either.

Where are these two prophets...?
There are no secret passages in this old Pender House of Nobles, because this is not the king's residence, but an office, so there is no need for an escape route.

So, how did they get out of here?
What happened in Guihu Town should indeed have nothing to do with the Three Prophets, but does the matter about Fawcett have anything to do with the Three Prophets?
Who is the other heresy in Guihu Town?
Li Ang looked at Anna's body—that is, the blood-sworn witch who fell in the garden but was still bound, and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Throne Hall.

The news of King Ulrik's death has spread throughout Sarleon City, and many nobles have come to the Throne Hall, crowding the originally fairly spacious hall to the brim.

As the current actual controller of Sarleon City and the convener of this 'press conference', Li Ang stood under the Silver Throne and officially announced the obituary of the king's death.

"...It has been found out that Princess Anna is the leader of the heresy, and her henchman Inna is a spy of the Fieldsway Alliance. The heretic Anna framed Miss Amy in order to seize the throne, and brutally killed Princess Felina His Majesty the King discovered this wisely and killed the heretics in time, but unfortunately, His Majesty died in the King's Road when he fought bravely with Fieldsway's spies..."

The cause of Ulrik's death, what Leon said was 'died in battle'.

Yes, die in battle.

Although every nobleman in the throne room knew that the king was 'torn up' by a deputy commander of the guard named Inna, no one expressed any objection to the cause of death.

From the mouths of the guards who 'witnessed this', the nobles already knew that Princess Anna murdered Princess Felina, and then the king probably killed Princess Anna in the same way in the tower of the House of Nobles - which fits well with Ur Rick's usual temper.

Then, the king was kidnapped by Inna and his throat was cut in the street - this is definitely a revenge killing. Everyone knows that Inna is very trusted by Princess Anna. In this case, everyone can realize Innardo was probably having an affair with the princess.

But after all, Ulrik was the king they had allegiance to, so it is really inappropriate to call it love killing...

The king of the country of knights died under the sword of the general of the enemy country. This is the most appropriate way to say.

At the same time, the nobles also realized that the Sarleon Kingdom was about to go to war with Fieldsway—Leon said that Inna was a spy of Fieldsway.

But having said that, Li Ang is not talking nonsense, Inna is indeed from Fieldsway, and his behavior is indeed like a spy...

Inar is the adopted son of Gondor, the Doomseeker, the High Lord of Filtzway.

'Doomseeker' Gondor's prestige and status in Fieldsway are quite high, and his reputation in Sarleon Land is also great.Although his territory on land is only Longbeard, he is recognized as a pirate boss - he is even called the "King of the Western Sea" by the pirates of Vanskerry.

Even the Barclays had to establish a relationship with Gondor—or pay tribute—to enter the West Coast.

No matter where the ship is, as long as the banner of the Trident of Gondor is on the top of the mast, there will be no pirates in the west coast.

It is doubtful that the adopted son of such a sea boss came to the Lion Kingdom to serve Princess Anna.

However, he was deeply trusted by the princess before, and after Princess Anna gave him the knight status, no one made irresponsible remarks about it—no one wanted to offend a concubine who was pregnant with the heir of the king.

But even so, the concubine could only arrange him to serve in the royal city guards—this kind of suspicious person could only enter the king's private army.

But now that the king died in the hands of Inna, and there was no doubt in front of everyone, there was nothing to say. No matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with Fieldsway.

In other words, the area around the High Cliff Fort in Fieldsway will definitely become a battlefield...

As for the location of the High Cliff Fort... the cliff is to the north, and the Howling Fort is to the south...

The place bordering Filtsway is either Brennus' territory or the Three Prophets' territory.

Of course, Li Ang released such an obituary on purpose - all the nobles will support this obituary, let Brennus and the three prophets deal with the Kingdom of Filzway.

Oh no, not the kingdom...

In the obituary, Li Ang referred to the 'Fieldsway Alliance'.

He has said that he no longer regards Fieldsway as a kingdom, but a group of treacherous pirates.

This is the proper procedure - the Kingdom of Sarleon formed an alliance with Filzway before, which means that the Kingdom of Sarleon regards Filzway as a peer country, so Filzway should be called a kingdom.

But now, the people of Fieldsway 'tear up the covenant and kill Sarleon', it can only be an alliance of pirates and smugglers.

…………

Three days later, Amy came to Sarleon City.

After getting a message from Lisa Dilan at the fastest speed, she really only brought all the cavalry and rushed over day and night.

She was also the first troop to come to Sarleon after the incident.

"Li Ang... how did my mother die?"

This was Amy's first question after meeting Li Ang.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should have jumped off the tower of the House of Nobles by herself... She doesn't want the Sarleon Kingdom to fall into the hands of heretics, and she doesn't want herself to be a burden to you and Lord Godric... "

Li Ang replied.

This is indeed his real judgment, but he can only speak to Amy alone.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ang deliberately created the result of the matter as it is now - because this is the result that Feilina wanted.

Felina committed suicide not out of impulsiveness, she knew the consequences of her own death in front of Ulrik.

Either, King Ulrik became suspicious of the princess, or even had a conflict with the princess, and then found that the child of the princess was not his, or found that the princess was a heretic—as long as he is willing to investigate, it is still very easy to find out, Ulrik Not stupid.

Or, Ulrik died at the hands of Princess Anna.

No matter what the outcome is, at least Princess Anna will probably be exposed, and at least the Kingdom of Sarleon will not fall into the hands of heretics.

And, either way, Godric, Amy, and Andrew would be safer.

If Ulrik is not dead, but finds out that the princess is a heretic or kills the princess, then he will not try to entrap Andrew and Amy in the short term—because Ulrik himself knows that the little princess is not his own, He will not let the throne fall to the little princess, when Andrew and Amy are the heirs closest to him by blood.

Unless Ulrik had a baby again.

And if Ulrik is killed by the princess, then at least Fox Town will be rescued, because the Lion Knights will definitely withdraw to Sarleon City, will not deal with Amy, and will even protect Amy instead—Amy has the right to inherit the throne , is the third heir besides the little princess and Andrew.

After the death of the king, there will inevitably be a battle for the throne. Before the dust settles, no one will take Amy's accusation of heresy seriously. On the contrary, many nobles will try to clear the accusations against Andrew and Amy.

Because, if the king is dead, then Amy, who is surrounded by Fox Town, is more trustworthy. In this case, the third heir is likely to become the first heir. It cannot be done, which means that the king's death must have nothing to do with her.

Then the accusation of heresy on Amy will be easily resolved. At that time, countless nobles will help Amy to defend—whoever becomes the guardian of the little princess will be targeted by the nobles and will be considered as framed Amy. people.

Because although the little princess has a higher order of succession, she is only ten years old. Underage children cannot transfer the power of the king, and the power will only fall into the hands of her guardians—just like Alma's eight or nine-year-old grandniece.

After Alma's death, Ulrik forced Alanric to marry the girl, and became the guardian of Lion Lake City as a father.But as the girl's husband, Alanrick has no power at all.

But Amy happened to be an adult, and she was not yet married—an adult did not need a guardian. If Amy became the queen, she would be able to directly delegate authority to her husband, and whoever married her could directly become the king or regent.

For the nobles, Amy is the best heir to the king, and every noble will 'help' her.

Besides, Amy is so beautiful, most of the knights of the Lion Knights coveted her.

At the same time, Felina saw Leon enter the Noble House—just like what she said to Princess Anna, Felina knew that Leon would definitely keep Amy.

Amy often wrote letters to Felina, and Felina knew that there was no need to doubt the relationship between Li Ang and Amy.

Li Ang is now the marshal of the kingdom, and he has not failed in the southern and northern wars. As long as he is willing, he will definitely be able to protect Amy's safety, just like the blood lion who protected Helen back then.

Moreover, Felina knew that both Godric and Amy were willing to make Leon the king...

On the contrary, she herself had no other way to go—Princess Anna said she would send her home, which meant that she would most likely become a bargaining chip that Princess Anna used to control Godric and Amy.

Filina didn't want to be a hostage in the hands of heretics.

At the same time, Felina must make Ulrik suspect Princess Anna—as long as the princess gives birth to a child, Ulrik will definitely entrap Amy and Andrew.

Because Ulrik wants to pave a road without thorns for his own child, he will not let the child follow his old path—even if his actions are no different from those of the Mad King back then.

Therefore, Felina chose to die in front of Ulrik. That was probably her only chance. If she missed it, she would become a hostage in the hands of heretics, and might even become a lunatic like Mrs. Bella.

Only Li Ang, who knows most of the inside information, can understand why Fei Lina did this.

Therefore, Leon made the outcome that Felina wanted more appropriate-both the king and Princess Anna died, and both died clearly.

Princess Anna was directly identified as the heretic leader and the murderer who killed Felina, so Amy’s suspicion was naturally cleared—this was Anna’s plot to frame her for the throne, and Leon had already stated in the obituary, Nobody would argue with that statement.

Meanwhile, the king is dead, which means no one will try to kill Amy.

"Amy, I'm actually not sure if this is Aunt Felina's intention, but I don't think she will object... Do you want to be a queen?"
