Heart of the Castle

Chapter 808 Washing the crime with blood and regaining a new life
For the 12 people of the Kingdom of Arthur who returned to the capital of Fermeyer, the mass execution that took place in the last few days of the late winter of 592 in the Dawn calendar did not bring much turmoil. The heads of the gentlemen fell to the ground, and even became a tavern story that many people will talk about in the future.Not many people remember the inevitable connection between the news of Queen Fleischer's assassination and this execution. Only a few noble children who had participated in this matter, but retreated at the last moment, were immersed in the emotion of fear. When I recalled it, my hair would stand on end, and I no longer dared to underestimate the young and generous Prince Regent.

After all, the Griffin is a carnivorous bird of prey. Although this animal is arrogant and conceited by nature, and disdains to bully and hunt weak ants, it does not mean that he can tolerate some ants going rampant and trying to challenge his majesty.

This was once the advice of an elderly aristocratic scholar master to his nephews, but unfortunately, before the "Execution Day", no nobleman agreed with this statement.They who want to restore the glory of their ancestors have forgotten one thing, no matter how wonderful plans they have planned, no matter whether they can maintain a consistent position in the face of huge interests, without the support of enough force, their actions are always following a certain path. With an invisible baton, he dances obsessively and madly towards the abyss.

The former leader of the Iron Guard Knights, the Duke of Swordsman Buster Fremont did not participate in the plot of the nobles. However, on the eve of the execution day, he appeared in front of the Ashes Castle in full armor, wearing the clothes that belonged to the Iron Guard Knights. Gray armor, holding a shield with a crown and two swords painted on it.The two iron guard knights who were in charge of guarding the gate of Ashes Fortress were both nobles of the royal capital. They seemed at a loss in front of the former leader who was once known as the "model knight". Although they blocked Earl Buster's way side by side, there was nothing they could do Draw your sword against the old knight.

Fortunately, Buster Fremont did not intend to forcibly break into the fortress he swore to defend with his life, but ordered the two iron guard knights with a calm and forceful voice, asking them to report to Queen Fleisher or the regent immediately. King Liveston, Buster Fremont asked for an audience.

Ten minutes later, the old knight got his wish and saw the two young men who held the supreme power in the Kingdom of Arthur. The sequelae of damaged souls made their faces look a little pale, and they seemed a little uneasy at first glance.The fireplace in the room was burning very vigorously, with gusts of hot wind blowing in, a royal attendant was adding firewood sawed into small pieces, and the unique aroma of pine resin filled the air.

Buster Fremont strode in, slamming his arms across his breastplate, "Your Majesty, Queen Fleisher, Your Excellency Levi Stone, Guardian of the Realm, in terms of how to deal with the arrested nobles of the kingdom, Buster Fremont has something to say."

"It seems that you have learned about the decision we have just made and has not yet been announced through some channel." Leviston's voice was a little low, and the firelight in the fireplace cast a stern look on his calm expression Orange light, "Buster Fremont, you are a true knight who has practiced the motto of knights all his life. I really want to hear your opinion on how to deal with those traitors."

Embarrassment quickly flashed across Earl Buster's face, "Traitor? By gods, this is too serious a crime." The old knight paused, as if searching for a more appropriate tone in his mind And vocabulary, "Your Excellency the Regent, those nobles were indeed dazzled by the desire for power and did almost unforgivable stupid things, but they did not intend to betray the kingdom. They feel they can be exploited, and they would never do something like this."

"They're looking for a few so-called heirs to the throne who are either infants or idiots of unknown bloodlines, trying to get their hands on Arthur's throne." Levi pointed out in a blunt tone, "If this is not a betrayal of the kingdom, Buster Fremont My lord, dare to ask what kind of behavior can be considered a crime of treason?"

The old knight's face turned slightly pale, showing a fierce inner struggle, but he refused to admit defeat. After being silent for nearly a minute, Buster Fremont sighed, "Your Excellency Leviston, I I just want to ask you a question, Her Majesty Queen Fleischer...was it true that someone tried to murder you a few days ago and was seriously injured?"

Levi's gaze moved slightly, but instead of avoiding the old knight's staring stare, he replied calmly, "Lord Buster Fremont, if you are talking about the former, my answer is no, Queen Fleischer was not the target of the assassination, what the assassin really wanted was my life, and Fleischer..." His eyes turned to Her Majesty the Queen beside him, Fleischer smiled and stretched out his hand, the two The palms were tightly clenched together, "...It was to protect me that I was injured."

Buster Fremont's body shook suddenly, "What? Your Excellency the Regent, you and Your Majesty the Queen..."

"Our relationship is far more than just a king and a minister. Fleischer and I are lovers who love each other, and comrades who can trust each other with our lives." Li Wei announced in a calm tone, "We met on that difficult and difficult day. Years, that is the only treasure brought to me by the flames of war. We have fought side by side in many places, we have gone through life and death, and we have deeply recognized each other's feelings. Earl Buster Fremont, even Fleisher has already As the king, I firmly believe that she will not give up our relationship, just as she firmly believes that I will not steal the power of the kingdom."

"That steel chair is very uncomfortable to sit on, Levi." Queen Fleischer whispered and laughed in a playful tone, "If you want, I can give it to you now."

A blush flashed across Li Wei's face, and the appearance of pretending to be calm was immediately broken, "Hey, Your Majesty, don't say such things in front of outsiders, once it gets out, it will bring a lot of trouble and trouble. "

"Oh..." A long sigh came from the other side of the fireplace, and the old magician, Mr. Dish, clutched his chest in frustration, as if it had just been wounded by an invisible sharp knife. "It turns out that Master Levi has already made a personal appointment with Queen Fleischer for life... It's thanks to us old guys who are worried about their affairs."

Sir Rodriguez, who stood like a statue in the corner of the room, also let out a heavy sigh, "Yes, now other people may be considered outsiders to them."

Li Wei's face turned red in an instant, and the original paleness disappeared immediately, "Master Frederick! Sir Rodriguez!" He shouted angrily, "Things are not what you imagined!"

"Things are just as you two imagined!" Another almost equally firm voice sounded, and Earl Buster Fremont suddenly felt the ground under his feet shake, as if a small earthquake had occurred near the capital.Actually the earthquake happened in his heart, because he heard that voice belonged to the supreme ruler of Arthur's kingdom, Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I.

"Levi risked his life in order to wake me up from my slumber, and if it was me, he could do the same for him." There was no hint of a joke in Queen Fleischer's tone, " Moreover, Master Frederick, you also said that our souls have already had a very deep bond, and we will never betray each other's intentions in this life, so why can't we be together in a fair and honest manner?"

"Because that steel chair is too narrow, it can't squeeze two people to sit there." Mr. Dish reminded half-jokingly.

"Then let's build a throne that can accommodate two people sitting side by side." Queen Fleischer replied relaxedly, the waywardness in her tone made everyone dumbfounded.

"The throne where the two sit side by side?" Earl Buster Fremont shouted in surprise, he had almost forgotten his reason for coming. "Gods above, this is absolutely not possible, absolutely!"

"Your Majesty, Queen Fleischer, it's really too much fun to do this." Mr. Dish also persuaded, "The sage of the ancient kingdom of Yahan once said a very reasonable saying that there are no two suns in the sky, and the kingdom should not exist. Two kings, so..."

"But there are three moons in the sky!" Queen Fleischer interrupted without thinking, "Silver Moon Maya, Red Moon Mata and Black Moon Mafa, Master Frederick, you once told me about the March Goddess It’s a story of people with different personalities but able to live in harmony.”

The old magician looked surprised, and then coughed violently. Obviously, the smoke he had just sucked into his throat made him choke hard.Sir Rodriguez was also stunned, but then there was a burst of hearty laughter from behind the skull mask, and the voice was full of joy.

"Your Majesty Queen Fleisher, what you said is very good!" The Scourge Knight loudly agreed, "There are not two suns in the sky, but there are three moons, let that Yahan sage go to hell! Why can't he create a What about the throne where the two sit together?"

"Hey, I think history will mark this night with a lot of ink and ink, and those of us should be included in it." Mr. Dish snapped his fingers, and then a ball of white light lit up on him, and he would cough The sound was removed as a bad state, "But it doesn't have to be a good reputation, the throne where two people sit side by side..." He shook his head again, his face was full of incredible expressions, "Even if you look at the history of human kingdoms , There has never been such a wonderful thing.”

"That's it, Master Frederick, I guess, your alchemy workshop must be capable enough to forge this new throne before the next court meeting?" Queen Fleischer said resolutely. After reaching a conclusion, the young Queen turned to the old knight who was tongue-tied, "Earl Buster Fremont, do you have anything else to say?"

"I... no, I have nothing to do..." Earl Buster Fremont shook his head in despair, "Those people... those idiots are really self-defeating, and they actually want to kill themselves between you and His Excellency Leviston." It's impossible, it will never be possible..." The old knight said in the end, his voice was as soft as a whisper.

However, Li Weiston heard it clearly, and the young regent suddenly stood up, with a compelling look in his eyes, "Lord Buster, please wait a moment!" The old knight, "Please tell me, who are those people you speak of, those idiots who committed suicide?"

The old knight's dazed eyes regained clarity, and he replied calmly, "Those people... oh, those people are the traitors arrested by the Ash Knights and Griffin Knights. I had some pity for them at first. And I can't bear it, but now it seems that they should be punished clearly."

"No, Earl Buster, those people you mentioned are not them, at least not just now." Li Wei took two steps forward, as if there was a flame burning quietly in his eyes, "The people you mentioned want to be with me. Create a rift between me and Fleischer, this is not talking about those noble lords who provoked the flag of rebellion, because they did not want to create a rift, but thought that Fleischer's assassination had an inseparable relationship with me, even me Planned it all!"

Earl Buster Fremont's body stiffened, "Your Majesty the Regent, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"You understand very well, Earl Buster." Li Wei's tone softened, and there was even a trace of sigh and compassion in the eyes of the old knight, "Those people in the Temple of Glory are forcing you to do something against your will again." Am I right? They used your family members detained at the foot of the holy mountain to force you to scout for them, instigate emotions and create rifts..."

A sob-like moan came from the old knight's mouth, and his erect body suddenly bent down.

"No, no, you can't do such a thing. In any case, you are a real knight, and those things have nothing to do with you directly." Li Wei shook his head, denying the judgment he just made, "Then That is to say, there are some people in the Temple of Radiance hiding in your mansion, most likely disguised as servants or followers."

Heavy footsteps came from behind, and then the figure of Sir Rodriguez in black armor appeared next to Li Wei, "Master Li Wei, please allow me to solve this hidden danger for the kingdom."

"Dare to go deep into the royal capital of Fermeyer, and can make Alan Skett unable to detect the abnormality. The opponent should have at least one quasi-legendary magician who is good at camouflage magic. Maybe the head of the Sword of Condemnation is also hiding. Among them." Mr. Dish's voice came from the fireplace, "Rodriguez, you must be very careful."

"I will ask Eupondra and Hispros to assist me in this matter." Sir Rodriguez said without looking back, "If the head of Ingram is really hiding in it, then I will An intractable enemy can be dealt with ahead of time for future conflicts."

The Scourge Knight was about to leave the room, but the sudden sound of a white blade unsheathing behind him made him stop, and then turned around like a whirlwind.Buster Fremont stood behind him, with a long sword burning with dark blue fighting spirit pointed straight at his chest.

"Sir Rodriguez, I can't let you go...no! If you must go, then... then I will challenge you as the head of the former iron guard knights!"
