I really can't control myself.

Chapter 61 The Heir

Suddenly hearing about this, several people were a little surprised, but it was not completely unexpected.In fact, Barry felt a little bad before, because the second batch of swordsmen who came to kill them came too quickly, and the people who went back to ask for help contacted them almost immediately, indicating that they were already nearby, then this What are the assassins doing around here?

According to Barry's conjecture, these assassins were originally divided into two teams. One team assassinated Baron Melloway, and the other team came to the forest to pursue Linton and the others. The target was originally the Mellowell family, and the princess was implicated.Afterwards, because of the failure to assassinate Linton and Gasseon, people from another team were called to help, so the second group of people came so quickly.

The five-star swordsman-level assassin is indeed too strong, leaving aside monsters like Linton, it is impossible for ordinary people to escape his assassination.Barry had a premonition that something would happen before he came back, but he was a little surprised to hear the news.

So who the hell did the Melloway family mess with?This force that can send five-star swordsman-level assassins is definitely not a small force, let alone a baron-level, it is impossible for an earl-level assassin to have such a team of assassins.In other words, a force at least at the duke level wanted to assassinate everyone in the Melowei family. What trouble did the family get into?

Of course, Baron Sedes also gave a detailed introduction to the situation. The disappearance of the princess was too big. The people of the Melowei family naturally dispatched all of them and led the soldiers to search everywhere. Just when they were searching, something happened.There were three dead people, Baron Melloway himself, that is, Linton's eldest brother, Jolabo Melloway.The Baron's eldest son, Todd Melloway.The Baron's second son, Gross Melloway.

Among them, the baron's second son, Gross Melowei, was only 9 years old and was still a child. It was obvious that the other party wanted to destroy their family, and the children would not let them go.

According to Baron Seders, Jorab and Todd were found to have been assassinated one after another, and the soldiers who followed them to find someone were basically killed.Knowing that the matter was serious, they also imposed martial law. However, they did not expect that Gross would be killed in the castle of the Melowei family. The assassin was really a bit powerful.

This kind of assassination also delayed their progress in finding the princess, so they didn't dare to act casually these few days. The people of the Melowei family basically didn't dare to come out, and they were heavily guarded and hid in the city.Baron Seders took his troops outside to search for the princess. Although he had also been assassinated, he also decided to take risks in order to find the princess.

Hearing this situation, Princess Yalan blamed herself very much. Although it was not the assassin she was looking for, after all, Baron Mellowei was attacked by the assassin just to find her. She had a certain responsibility.But Lena next to her was very happy. Yes, Baron Merloway died, she didn't need to marry, and she didn't even need a special order from the king. Of course, it was very cool.

Linton and Gasein didn't have a big reaction. Linton was not familiar with his eldest brother anyway, and only met once.Well, Gasein doesn't like this uncle anyway.

Barry also briefly talked to Baron Sedes about the situation they encountered. Of course, he didn't mention the fire-eating beast, but only talked about the assassin.Knowing that Linton and Ghasain were also attacked by assassins, Baron Seders here, as an elder, also thanked Barry. In his opinion, the one who solved the assassins was naturally the captain of the Maple Leaf Guard, Barry. Without his words, It is estimated that both Linton and Gathan will die in the forest.

Although Baron Seders knew that his prospective son-in-law Linton was not a waste, he did not think he was too powerful.And these assassins are definitely not ordinary people who can succeed in the heavily guarded castle.But hearing his thanks, Barry was also a little embarrassed. He had been saved by Linton a few times, but he didn't explain much.

After the brief introduction of the matter, of course, the rest is the problem of dealing with it like this.This time, Princess Yalan spoke first: "Baron Seders, please rest assured, on behalf of the royal family, I assure you that I will definitely give you an explanation."

This incident also involved the princess, and then Baron Melowei is also a baron of the empire. The empire must be in charge of being assassinated. Princess Yalan also blamed herself a little, so she took it directly. It means that the Empire will investigate these assassins later.

"These assassins should have already returned," Barry said. "Their captain was killed, and they should not be able to continue the assassination mission for the time being. It should be safe for the time being, but you still need to strengthen your vigilance. You are also the target, Baron Seders. One, you must be careful. The empire already knows about this matter, and will send someone to investigate it soon, so don’t go any further.”

"Yes, Lord Barry, I understand." Barry means that you can't control this matter. This assassin team is definitely from the big forces. It's not something that you barons can manage. Just leave it to the empire.Of course Baron Seders understood and nodded in response.

"Lord Baron Sedes, although I really want to stay and deal with this matter, I must rush back to the imperial capital now." Princess Yalan said, "But don't worry, I will immediately respond to the royal father and ask him to send someone come over."

It was normal for Princess Yalan to rush back, and Linton probably knew what was going on.When chatting before, Princess Yalan said that she wanted the fire-devouring beast's horn because it was a pharmaceutical material, and it was supposed to save someone important, so she had to send it back immediately after she got it.This is also the reason why she supported Linton to go back and not detour, because it was really urgent.

While everyone was talking, they had already returned to the castle of the Melowei family. When they saw the princess coming back, the people of the Melowei family were relieved. After all, they were the first to be held accountable for the disappearance of the princess. The assassination, no one dared to go out to find someone, but fortunately the princess came back.

Princess Yalan also briefly explained the matter, and when they heard that the empire was going to investigate this matter, everyone was relieved.And Linton didn't attract anyone's attention. He was fine and everyone thought it was Barry's credit. As for the fire-devouring beast, this thing is a phantom beast, and no one has really seen it. They did notice that Linton brought A strange deer came back, but no one thought it was the legendary phantom beast.

However, hearing that the princess was about to leave, the Melowei family became nervous again.It is of course the safest for the princess to stay here. The empire will send heavy troops to protect her, but they have no reason to stop the princess from going back.

At this time, the people in his own bodyguard who Barry had already contacted, immediately prepared a carriage for Princess Yalan to go back, and set off immediately to send the princess back safely.Princess Yalan seems to be in a hurry to go back to save people, so she is ready to set off soon. Before going back, she has repeatedly assured the people of the Melowei family that the empire will send someone to investigate the matter immediately.

At this time, the people of the Melowei family were calm, and one of them also stood up and said to Princess Yalan, "Your Highness Princess, can I ask you one thing."

"You are……"

"Louwen Melloway is the second uncle of Baron Melloway." Yes, the person who spoke was Linton's second uncle, currently the eldest member of the Melloway family, Lu Wen.

"Hello, Mr. Merlo, what's the matter?" Princess Yalan asked.

"Baron Melloway was assassinated, we want to send someone to make a formal report to the Empire." Lu Wen said, "Secondly, when the new Baron Melloway takes office, according to tradition, he should also go to the imperial capital to accept it. serve."

"Yeah." Princess Yalan nodded, "So what do you mean... are you going to let the new Baron Merloway set off for the imperial capital with us?"

"Yes, it is exactly the same way." Lu Wen said.

Everyone immediately understood what Lu Wen meant. Isn't this just asking the people of the Maple Leaf Guard to protect the new Baron Meloway.Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Wen said. The report and the debriefing have to go to the imperial capital, but there is no need to let the baron go in person. Generally, it is enough to find someone.But now the territory is very dangerous. The enemy has already succeeded in their castle. Who can guarantee that the new baron will not have an accident?In this way, it would be safer to go to the Imperial Capital with the experts like the Maple Leaf Guard.

But this is not to drag the princess into the water. You see that the assassins are mainly going to kill the Melowei family. You asked the princess to take the baron. Isn't she implicated again?Although Lu Wen wanted to protect the new baron, he might offend the princess.

Of course, the guards of the Maple Leaf Guard also understood what was going on. One of the team members was about to step forward to scold Lu Wen, but was stopped by the captain next to him, Barry: "Let the princess make her own decision."

The team members were a little strange, but they still withdrew.On the other hand, Princess Yalan thought about it and asked, "Who is the new Baron Merloway...?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then soon, everyone looked in the same direction, and they looked in this direction, and the people who were looked at by everyone were also stunned.

"Me?" The person who spoke was Gasseon, who was pointing at himself with a bewildered expression.

Linton was also stunned, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the case.The original Baron Melloway was his eldest brother, Joe Labo. After his death, the heir was originally Joe Labo's son, but Joe Labo had two sons in total, and now they have been assassinated.The next heir is Qiao Labo's younger brother, but Linton's second brother was assassinated before, and then further down, he is the second brother's eldest son, just right, that is Gasein.

"Oh, oh, congratulations, eldest nephew, you've really become a noble now." Linton patted Gasein's shoulder and said with a smile.
