"The competition for the next Grand Duke has already started...Come on, let's go to Harold." Amelia planned to discuss the situation with her own people.
Harold didn't know that Amelia still had the identity of Lily Hicks, and he could only contact Amelia by leaving a message on the message board in the newspaper.
But Amelia can go directly to Harold and the others. She knows the hotel where everyone is currently staying.
Amelia took Irene back to the dormitory first, and then left Baifeng Academy in a carriage.
Not long after, Amelia showed up in a hotel room.
In the clean and simple hotel room, Harold and Nicole are both there at the moment.
"Your Majesty this is..."
Seeing the disguised images of Amelia and Irene, Nicole seemed a little surprised.
If she hadn't seen Amelia last night, if she suddenly saw Amelia, she might not be able to connect Amelia with the image in front of her.
"Your Majesty, this is just a disguise to hide your identity, so don't make a fuss." Harold could understand the situation at a glance.
"Oh, I see." Nicole nodded immediately when she heard the words, and sat obediently on the chair.
Amelia looked at Harold: "What is my purpose for coming, Harold, you should already know?"
Harold smiled: "Today, Luban Duchy can be said to be in a state of flux. If I can't understand the situation in the past morning, it would be too dereliction of duty. I don't know what your Majesty's plans are for the next situation?"
"Because the current situation is still unclear, it's not good to rush to formulate any actions, but we also need to make some preparations, so you..." Amelia began to order.
Volume 102 The Silent Throne: Chapter [-] The Grand Duke is Dead
In the castle next to Beard City, a guard walked back and forth with a serious look on his face, and he was even more guarded than before.
After hearing that the Grand Duke was sick, many nobles came to visit one after another, but they were all blocked at the gate of the castle, so that many carriages were parked here, and many nobles also communicated with each other here, with worried expressions on their faces. However, it is not known whether they are worried about Grand Duke Ogden's physical problems.
As the daughter of the Grand Duke Ogden, Werna can come in if she wants. At this moment, she is already in the Grand Duke's bedroom, sitting by the bed and talking with the Grand Duke.
But it's not just Verna here.
The eldest prince Vincent, the second prince Bennett, and other princes and princesses appeared one after another.
'Unexpectedly, just after I came here, the Grand Duke also summoned all his sons and daughters. With so many people present, I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to. '
Looking at the other people around, Werna felt a little depressed.
But on the surface, she still had a worried look on her face, and she looked at Grand Duke Ogden fixedly, as if she was worried about his physical condition.
In the luxurious and spacious bedroom, everyone surrounds the bed like this.
"Ahem, cough, where's Salit?" Ogden, who was lying on the bed, coughed and looked around with cloudy eyes.
Among the many children, he likes Bennett the most, followed by Salit. After all, Salit really looks like his mother who died of dystocia. Every time he sees Salit, he can Let him think of the wife who is obedient to him.
He missed her again.
"It's already been searched for, and I don't know where Salit went." Bennett said with a helpless look.
"Can't you find it yet?" Ogden frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door came.
"I'll open the door." Vincent got up and walked towards the door.
Ogden didn't pay much attention and continued talking to Bennett.
Vincent walked to the door and looked back at Ogden, feeling a little hazy in his heart.
No matter when he was a child or when he grew up, this man always refused to look at himself more, even if it was enough to look at himself more, why couldn't he still be able to look at him?
why?
why?
Vincent withdrew his gaze, and the flames in his eyes seemed to burn more intensely.
He opened the door, and there was a worried-looking man outside the door. It was the manservant in charge of Ogden's daily life, a person Ogden trusted very much, named Houston.
"His Royal Highness Vincent." Seeing Vincent who opened the door, Houston said in a low voice: "The big thing is not good. The fourth prince Salit was killed. The murderer is unknown at present."
"What? Such a thing happened? Then why don't you come in and report?" Vincent stepped aside.
Houston, however, was a little hesitant, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Grand Duke is not in good health now. Will it have a bad effect on the Grand Duke's health if you tell the Grand Duke directly? Should we be sorry for His Highness Salit's inability to Make up a lie about the arrival, at least wait for the Grand Duke to recover before telling the truth."
Vincent was not surprised by Houston's consideration. After all, he was a loyal person to Ogden, and it was normal for him to always consider Ogden's situation.
But because of this, he was the first to get up and say that he would come to open the door when he heard someone knocking on the door.
If it was Bennett, or even the others, they might have followed Houston's words this time and concealed the truth from Ogden.
But he won't.
After all... Salit was the one who killed him!
Vincent straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Houston, do you know what you are talking about? My brother is dead, and the prince of our country is dead. How can such an important matter be hidden from my father? Come in quickly , and explain the situation to my father.”
"This..." Houston hesitated.
"Hurry up." Vincent urged.
Seeing that Vincent still said the same thing, Houston didn't dare to resist. After all, no matter how close he was to Ogden, he was just a servant.
Immediately, Houston entered the bedroom and came to Ogden's side.
"It's Houston, what's the matter?" Ogden saw Houston and asked.
"That's right, Grand Duke." Houston replied: "Prince Salit is dead. The body was found in an alley in Baifeng Street. The public security station is currently looking for the murderer."
"What did you say? Cough cough cough..."
Hearing such news suddenly, Ogden's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help coughing violently. It seemed that his whole body became hot and uncomfortable at this time.
"Father!"
This situation surprised all the princes and princesses around.
Especially with the cough, Ogden even coughed up blood, which was even more worrying.
"How can you say such an exciting thing at this time?" Bennett looked at Houston angrily.
"This……"
Houston felt a little innocent and glanced at Vincent.
"What's the use of talking about it now? Houston, hurry up and call the doctor," Vincent ordered.
"Yes Yes."
Houston didn't have time to explain the situation. In his opinion, it was indeed more important to call a doctor at this time, so he ran outside immediately.
Before the doctor arrived, Ogden coughed more and more intensely, and finally passed out directly.
Shortly after, Houston came in quickly with the doctor.
In addition to the doctors, there are also priests who came from the church. These priests are dressed in white robes and look holy. They are all apostles and have the power of healing.
However, what the priests can heal are all traumatic injuries, and the diseases caused by being young and old, they can't actually treat them. Therefore, the treatment of Grand Duke Ogden actually requires the help of doctors.
While the doctors were treating, the rest of the princes and princesses watched nervously.
Vincent backed away, and while others were not paying attention, with cold eyes, he directly grabbed Houston who was at the door, twisted his neck, and threw him into the open window outside the corridor go out.
Their floor is the top floor of the castle, and the height is not low. It is very difficult for an ordinary person to fall and survive.
This process was very fast, it took no more than two seconds, and it was completed silently. The rest of the people present, no matter who they were, didn't notice this situation. Everyone occasionally glanced around and only found Wen Sen. Te stayed there, as if he had always been there.
Only Houston disappeared, unnoticed.
After all, it was just a valet.
Time passed quickly for half an hour.
For half an hour, the doctors could be said to have tried their best, and the priests, regardless of whether it was useful or not, also came up and used their healing abilities, but they still couldn't change anything.
Half an hour later, one of the oldest doctors said with a pale face, "Grand Duke Ogden... has passed away."
As soon as these words came out, the entire bedroom fell silent.
Vincent was overjoyed, but his face was filled with sadness.
He was just trying to stimulate Ogden by the death of Salitt, deteriorating Ogden's body, and prepared the rest of the means to continue deteriorating Ogden's body. He never expected the first thing to be able to directly make Ogden Ogden bid farewell to this world.
Ogden didn't even have time to make a will!
As long as no will is made, no one is a legitimate successor, and there are still opportunities.
Bennett looked ugly.
Although he is the most popular prince, without Ogden's will, he cannot be easily recognized as the next Grand Duke. If he wants to inherit the position of Grand Duke, he will have to go through a lot of wind and rain.
So what should I do to reduce the trouble?
Verna's eyes flickered.
Not having a will is a good thing for her. It means that it is difficult to decide who the next grand duke will be immediately. While the others are competing on the bright side, she can secretly accumulate strength.
The two tigers started to fight, and the winner must be seriously injured.However, besides Bennett, is there any tiger that can match it?
At this time, Werner somehow thought of Amelia reminding her to be careful about Vincent, subconsciously glanced at Vincent, and saw that there seemed to be fire jumping in Vincent's eyes.
Werna was taken aback by this look. She couldn't see the simple and honest look on Vincent's face at all. At this moment, there was only a kind of fire called ambition in Vincent's eyes.
'This guy... is this guy really hiding his clumsiness?Amelia's insight is so strong! '
Werner didn't dare to look any further, and quickly looked away.
However, if Vincent is ambitious, it is not a bad thing for me, because it means that the opponent may form a certain restraint on Bennett. As long as the opponent can restrain Bennett, I will have more opportunities.
At this time, Houston's body had already been discovered, but the doctors were treating Ogden when it was discovered, so it was naturally inconvenient to report it.And now, with Ogden's death, things in Houston have become trivial in comparison.
==========
Amelia had already discussed some follow-up preparations with Harold and Nicole, and then returned to Baifeng Academy with Irene in a carriage.
After returning to the dormitory, Irene prepared lunch for Amelia, and Amelia sat in the living room with some afternoon newspapers and read them slowly.
There is no special report in the newspaper, it is nothing more than various extensions of the content of the morning paper.
While Amelia was reading the paper, the doorbell rang.
Before Amelia got up, Irene trotted out of the kitchen. For Irene, opening the door had to be done by herself. Only when she confirmed the identity of the visitor was it suitable for her to let her go. Someone came to make contact with Amelia.
It was Verna who came.
Verna walked into the living room, glanced at Amelia, and said, "The Grand Duke is dead."
This sentence stunned Amelia on the spot.
Although when she learned that Grand Duke Ogden was seriously ill in the morning, she wondered if he would die in a short time, but it was still surprising that he died so quickly.
"Why so suddenly? Did anything special happen?" Amelia put down the newspaper and asked.
"Because the Grand Duke was shocked when he heard the news of Salit's death, he died after being treated." Verna said as if she was an outsider.
"Salit..."
When she heard the news of Salit's death, Amelia knew that it was definitely not a coincidence. Unexpectedly, this incident also accelerated the death of Grand Duke Ogden.
She looked at the bullet screen, and the sudden death of Grand Duke Ogden caused the audience to discuss it in surprise.
Verna came to Amelia's side and briefly explained what happened in the castle so that Amelia could quickly understand the situation.
"The Grand Duke didn't leave any will, and there is no clear next Grand Duke? This is indeed an opportunity for you. Do you want to compete openly?" Amelia asked, looking at the girl beside her.
She knew that Verna had extremely strong ambitions, and although the current situation was not very good for Verna, it was not bad either. This was an opportunity not to be missed.
"I didn't plan to make a move in a hurry. Now I am apparently supporting Bennett as the Grand Duke. I plan to let Bennett compete with the other princes first, and I will clean up the mess at the end." Werner's thinking was very clear.
Speaking of this, she thought of Vincent, and said: "Amelia, your eyes are really vicious. There is indeed something wrong with that Vincent. I can see that he is also coveting the position of Grand Duke. This guy can probably Created a lot of obstacles for Bennett, but now I hope he can be stronger and can consume a lot of Bennett's strength."
Amelia: "..."
It's hard for her to say that it might be more difficult for Vincent to cope with this, because the current plot is different from the original plot.
In the original plot, Grand Duke Riogden will die next year, and Vincent also secretly accumulated strength for a year before he can make a sudden move, eliminate Bennett, and deal with all other competitors, becoming the final victory By.
Now that the time is one year ahead, has Vincent accumulated enough strength?
"Then have you investigated Vincent's situation properly?" Amelia asked after thinking about it.
"I asked my people to investigate before, but you also know that the situation in the principality is changing too fast, so I have to ask more people to investigate Vincent again, so that I may find something in a short time. Something here." Verna said with her eyes flickering.
