And who is the mysterious man blocking the road?

Who are the people standing behind him?"

"Sorry, I can't answer these questions now.

I can only tell you that the royalists became extremely restless after learning that Schaffa was missing.

They suspect that you got rid of Shafa and wanted to replace a close associate to control the Purple Dragon Army in order to prepare for the subsequent usurpation of the throne.

This is obviously a long-planned move by the enemy, with the purpose of provoking a fight for inheritance within the royal family.

I suggest you better be careful.

I can't guarantee at all now whether some extreme factions within the royalist party will choose to take desperate risks to launch an attack against you."

It must be said that Phil Farrell is obviously a very politically sensitive woman and saw through the truth behind the whole matter at a glance.

Because she had known about her youngest daughter's arrangements for a long time and acquiesced to the change of throne.

There is no way, who can't twist the arm with the thigh?

With the support of the behemoth West Coast Empire, the Kingdom of Cormyr actually had no choice at all.

What's more, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

For a grandmother, there is obviously no essential difference between the child of the deceased eldest daughter becoming king and the child of the younger daughter becoming king.

As long as the whole process can be guaranteed to be as bloodless as possible, Phil Farrell is also happy to see it happen.

After all, Zuo Sina is really giving a lot of help!

Whether it was the royal army made of vibranium or the mountains of gold coins in the vault, they all helped the Cormyr royal family to successfully get out of the huge shadow caused by the death of the king and first heir.

"Damn it! This is going to be troublesome."

Yalusel immediately turned his attention to his former friend and court mage Karadna.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Without saying anything, the latter immediately cast a prophecy-based detection magic and quickly replied: "Shafa is still alive and there is no danger to his life."

.”

"Can you determine his location?" Yalusel asked urgently.

Karadna tried it for a while, but finally shook her head with a wry smile: "No, the other party used magic to block detection.

But since Shafa is still alive, it means that the situation has not reached the worst level yet.

I suggest that we immediately find ways to find traces of him in Susar.

After all, he is the supreme commander of the Purple Dragon Legion and is highly recognized among the people.

And based on the time calculation, unless teleportation magic is used, there is a high probability that he is still in the city at this moment."

"I'll give you three days. After three days, you'll have to see someone alive, and you'll have to see a corpse if you die."

Yalusel decisively gave a very tight time limit.

She knew very well that three days was a critical point.

If the living people can be brought back within three days, then there won't be any big problem on the royalist side.

But if the corpses brought back within three days cannot be resurrected, he will take the first step to uproot the entire royalist party and quell the possible civil war as quickly as possible.

"ok, I get it."

Karadne, who was very rare, did not bargain, but immediately turned around to contact her informants in the streets of Susal.

But before she had gone far, she suddenly saw a pale-faced maid running toward her, shaking violently and uncontrollably.

As soon as the latter rushed in, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and stammered and shouted: "No... it's not good! His Majesty Assan V was... just... robbed by a group of guys who suddenly broke in.

.”

"This is impossible!"

Queen Mother Phil Farrell rushed forward like crazy, grabbed the maid by the collar, pulled her up from the ground and shouted: "Tell me! The entire palace is protected by a magic barrier, and under the king

There is also a group of purple dragon knights guarding his palace, who can break in and snatch him away?"

"Yes...it was Duke Shafa and a group of mysterious men wearing hoods. It was he who took away His Majesty the King and all the Purple Dragon Knights. Now only the regent's guards are left in the entire palace."

The maid didn't dare to hide anything and told her what she saw.

As someone who was assigned to serve the young king, she was obviously smart enough to know what this behavior meant.

To put it simply, it is two words - coup.

Taking control of the infant Assan V is equivalent to gaining a rightful name, which will not only greatly enhance the loyalty and confidence of the royalists, but also win the recognition of a considerable number of people.

After all, although the heroic king Assan IV did not do well in his internal affairs, he was indeed very successful in terms of personal prestige and performance.

It is precisely because of him that the Kingdom of Cormyr has such a resounding reputation throughout Faerûn.

In addition, he died fighting with the red dragon in the end, and even his death was tinged with a layer of tragic heroism, making it difficult not to admire and admire him.

Therefore, most Cormyr civilians highly recognized Assan IV, and at the same time felt that as a continuation of his bloodline, Assan V would also be a good king when he grew up.

Such heavy news immediately caused several women with extremely distinguished identities and status in the room to freeze on the spot.

Because they couldn't believe that Duke Shafa would do such a thing.

You must know that those who can sit on the position of the highest commander of the Purple Dragon Legion have always been the nobles most trusted by the royal family.

Moreover, Schaffa himself has always been a mature and steady representative, and he has worked conscientiously and never made a single oversight during his tenure.

Would someone like this take the risk to launch a coup?

Do not make jokes!

At the moment, Yalusel feels that this Shafa is either controlled by some magic, or it is transformed by transformation magic or shape-shifting monster.

Without having time to think about it, she immediately ordered the captain of the guard standing at the door: "Take your people and take over the entire palace immediately.

If I find any suspicious persons, I will arrest them immediately. Those who are difficult to catch will be killed on the spot.

Remember, never be merciful, be quick, steady, accurate and ruthless.

Immediately after taking control of the palace, seal the gate and no one is allowed to enter or exit without my order."

"Understood! Please rest assured that I will definitely live up to your trust."

The captain of the guard hurriedly performed a military salute, then turned around and left with a few officers.

After making arrangements to control the palace, Yalusel turned around and said to his mother: "Mother, please stay with me for a while. This is very important."

"I understand, I will cooperate with you."

Phil Farrell agreed without hesitation.

She knew that after losing King Assan V, she was the only bargaining chip in her daughter's hands that could restrain her political opponents.

After all, she was the legal wife of Assan IV and the grandmother of Assan V.

This identity and seniority are here to help Yalusel stabilize the situation in the capital.

Just when the palace was in chaos, Duke Shafa had already returned to the military camp with the infant Assan V, quietly avoiding all eyes.

At present, he has summoned all the officers he promoted.

Anyone who attends the event can feel the tension and depression coming almost as soon as they enter.

Especially after seeing the king placed on the table, the pupils often dilate rapidly in an instant, and at the same time, the heartbeat begins to accelerate and the breathing becomes rapid.

After all, the clothes this baby is wearing bear the imprint of the Cormyr royal family.

As long as there are no intellectual problems, one can make accurate guesses, and at the same time immediately think of a series of highly sensitive topics including coups and the struggle for the throne.

A senior officer who had a good relationship with Shafa and had a noble title was the first to ask: "My dear old friend, you'd better explain to all of us what is going on. You know that kidnapping the king is...

An unforgivable sin!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hijacking?

No, I am not kidnapping, but protecting the only legitimate heir to the Cormyr royal family.

I believe you have also heard the news that Regent Iron Princess Yalusel is pregnant and is about to give birth.

Imagine if she had children, would she still be willing to maintain the status quo?

So our King is in danger!"

Duke Shafa clearly expressed his attitude to these cronies in an extremely angry tone.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that there is a pin on his collar that emits a strange light.

Whenever this thing starts to flicker, Duke Schaffa's mental state will become extremely unstable.

"But you have no evidence! And do you know that doing this will provoke a civil war?" the senior military officer sternly scolded.

But Duke Shafa retorted without giving up: "No! I have evidence! I know who the father of the child in the regent's belly is!"

"who is it?"

"Yes, who is it? Tell me quickly!"
