girl knight zero

Chapter 301 There is no turning back

"Please rest assured that Prince Sanqi is located on Rainbow Island and is very safe."

"That island is no longer safe! The Hurricane Knights have already been to San Dia, they must have discovered Rainbow Island long ago!"

"Don't worry, Duke. Rainbow Island's shield is stronger than Louis's. Even if they find Rainbow Island, they won't be able to get in." The person said.

"Then what do you want me to do now?"

"We need you to do one thing." The visitor took out a wooden box from the windbreaker, "Please go to meet the Queen alone, and say that you have something important to report to her. After the Queen shows up, use this gun to kill her!"

After speaking, the person put the wooden box on the table and opened it, revealing a revolver with a silencer inside.

Seeing this pistol, Duke Lane turned pale.

"No, I can't do this! The Royal Knights will kill me on the spot!"

"Don't worry, after you kill the queen, leave the palace immediately, our carriage will pick you up outside and take you to our secret hiding place, where you will be very safe."

"Stop joking! The queen will definitely be accompanied by knights, she will not see me alone!"

"No, as long as you say: 'I have evidence of Downton's rebellion, but I can only tell you about one person', the anxious Queen will definitely agree."

"Even if she is willing, there must be knights guarding the door, and I can't go out at all."

"You can jump from the window. The queen's reception room is on the second floor, and there is a flower garden below. It's no problem to jump down."

"No, no, this plan is too risky! I refuse!"

"Dear Duke Von Layen, I would like to remind you that you do not have the right to choose."

"What do you mean?"

"For the safety of your wife and daughter, you should take this risk!" The man in the windbreaker showed a cold smile.

Hearing this, Duke Lane fell into an ice cave instantly.

On October 10st, Downton sent someone to pick up his wife and daughter, saying that for safety reasons, the family members were moved out of the capital before the operation.

Only now did he suddenly realize that Downton wanted to use them as hostages.

Like he used Miles as a hostage.

"Good luck." The man in the windbreaker pushed the pistol to Duke Ryan, turned and left.

Duke Lane looked at the pistol in front of him and couldn't help trembling.

Obviously, Downton chose him as the victim after comparing everyone.

Maybe he could kill the queen, but after that, there was no way he could escape.

It is impossible for a weak minister to escape from the well-trained royal knights.

Lord Lane sat in his seat for a long time, almost as long as a century.

When Downton chose him as his agent, he must have foreseen this day!

It's just that I was blinded by power and status, thinking that I would never fall down after reaching the top, but I didn't know that all the gifts of Downton had already been secretly priced.

Duke Lane lowered his head tremblingly. Under his feet, the floor suddenly turned into transparent glass. Under the glass was a small room, in which lay a middle-aged woman lying ill in bed, and sitting next to him was a young man with a sallow complexion. .

While massaging the patient's shriveled legs from long-term bed rest, the young man was reading an economics textbook.

"Bailey..." The woman opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop buying medicine for me, and go to college with the money! Only by going to college can you break free from this quagmire and get rid of it. The fate of the bottom..."

The young man glanced at his mother, let go of her legs and stood up.

The Duke Lane above couldn't see his expression, but he knew that the young man's face was full of indifference at that time, five years of care had worn away his patience, and now he only had boredom and hatred for the woman on the bed.

The young man picked up his book and coat and went out of the room.

Outside the door is the university classroom, which is full of young people like him, and all of them have a fierce look on their faces, not a thirst for knowledge.

Because for them, college is just a ladder to climb, a pass to Vanity Fair.

The young man lowered his head and began to write the answer sheet, and was the first to hand it in.

The professor took his answer sheet, glanced at it, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Lian, you are No.1 again this time. I'm so proud of you." The professor stroked his head affectionately.

"It's all due to you." The young man replied modestly.

After walking out of the classroom door, there is a luxuriously decorated living room outside, and there are a few people in suits and leather shoes sitting in it.

The young man sat across from them, stiff with his shabby clothes.

The noble opposite smiled at him friendly and handed him an invitation letter.

It was an invitation to an equestrian club event. The content of the event was very simple. Everyone rode horses together, then chatted and drank champagne, and talked about some innocuous topics, such as today's weather.

But behind these seemingly relaxed and leisurely activities, there are quite deep meanings.

To participate in our activities is to enter our circle. From then on, I am your supporter and you are my agent.

The young man accepted the invitation excitedly, and has since entered Downton's social circle.

After that, it's all the way to the sky.

Downton used the power in his hands to remove all obstacles on his way forward, and pushed him from an ordinary descendant of a worker to the throne of a veteran.

As a result, he became the first patriarch of civilian origin in history, and was worshiped by countless young people with the same ambition.

The middle-aged Ryan, who put on the elder's robe for the first time, showed a deeply satisfied expression. He raised his head and looked at Duke Ryan above.

After they stared at each other for a long time, Duke Lane sat down on the chair, and all the illusions disappeared instantly. At this moment, only himself and the gun in front of him remained in his whole world.

I, who can't see the sky in this small world, think that I can stand above everyone because I don't know anything?

Ryan thought desperately.

Five hours later, Duke Lane walked into the queen's drawing room with a pistol in his mouth. Just as the man in the windbreaker said, the queen immediately received him without hesitation when she heard that he was going to defect.

Duke Lane's face was pale, but his brain was surprisingly calm.He knew that with every step he took, he was one foot closer to death.

However, he couldn't turn back, because once he stopped, his wife and daughter who were hundreds of miles away would die immediately.

"Your Majesty." The Duke of Lane said as he walked towards the Queen, "I'm sorry for waking you up from your sleep, because I have something to tell you, and these words are so important that I can't wait until tomorrow."

"I don't mind, Duke Von Layen. In fact, I am looking forward to your next words." The queen smiled slightly.

"Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Duke Lane stopped in his tracks, "Because what I want to say may not be what you expected."
