In Sanssouci Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Rox were sitting together drinking tea in the drawing room. Both sides were silent, and a strange atmosphere spread throughout the drawing room.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, my men have seized something, and I hope you can take a look at it." Duke Rocks was the first to break the silence and said.
"Ao, please, the Duke personally sent it must be a good thing." The crown prince took an envelope from Rocks' hand, opened it, and was instantly shocked. He said:
"This makes no sense, where did you get this?" The crown prince looked at Duke Locks angrily.
"Your Highness, this was collected from the servant of your friend Wilhelmine von Lichtenau. At that time, he was meeting with an Austrian spy, and we have been observing that spy for a long time." Rocks did not
said moved
"This is absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Lichtenau to betray Prussia's interests." The Crown Prince stared as if he wanted to eat Duke Locks.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It is true that this thing was found on Mrs. Lichtnau's servant. I suggest that you arrest Mrs. Lichtnau immediately."
"Your Excellency, the nobles cannot be arrested casually without sufficient evidence."
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, please note that this is not a trivial matter, it is something that endangers the interests of Prussia as a whole. I hope you will not be misled by some people."
"According to what you say, I can't even tell the difference between good guys and bad guys."
"That's the truth, Your Highness. If you don't order the arrest of Mrs. Lichtnau, then I will immediately ask His Majesty Frederick at the front for instructions."
"Can I take it that you are threatening me? Your Excellency."
"I dare not, but Prussia's interests are above all else. Your Highness, please put Prussia's interests first."
"I will not order the arrest of Lichtnau, so just give up."
"Then, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I have to control Mrs. Lichtnau first, and then report this matter to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty the Duke, during your Majesty's expedition, I will handle the internal affairs. Please understand this."
"Your Highness, I think there are some things you can't decide on."
"Rocks, you dare to despise me, you are going too far."
"Your Highness, Prussia comes first. I'll take my leave." Rocks said the last sentence, saluted the crown prince, turned around and walked out.
"Damn Rocks, how dare you not take me seriously? When I come to the throne in the future, I will make your life worse than death." The crown prince immediately broke a vase and yelled frantically.
Locks was officially the finance minister of the kingdom, but he also had another identity. He was in charge of Prussia's intelligence and espionage work for His Majesty Frederick, and of course counterespionage was also part of it.
At Lichtnau's home, Lichtnau was having a secret conversation with a man in black robes in a secret room.
"Mrs. Lichtnau, your servant was discovered by Rox's people. I think we need to take shelter for a while," the man in black robe said in a low voice.
"No, Ryan, we don't have to hide at all. If we hide, His Royal Highness will feel that we have indeed deceived him, and he will catch us at all costs. But as long as we don't hide, but accompany him as usual, then
He will wonder if Rocks wants to frame me, and he will not be suspicious of us," Lichtnau said confidently.
"Are you so sure, Lichtnau? This is no small matter."
"Of course, I have been with the Crown Prince for ten years. I know very well what kind of person he is. His character is very easily influenced by others. As long as I go to him and cry, he will not believe us very much, but he will definitely
Suspicious of Rocks"
"I hope what you said will come true." The man in black robe sighed.
"Mr. Ryan, put your worries aside, nothing will happen." Lichtnau said calmly, but she also said silently in her heart: I hope so.
When the reinforcements from Prussia arrived at the Prussian camp outside Vienna, they came with a letter from Rocks to Frederick. When Frederick opened it, he became furious and shouted:
"Damn it, how could we meet Lacy by chance? It turns out that someone tipped her off. I'm going to chop her alive."
He said to Lockes' subordinate who delivered the letter:
"Tell Rocks, it doesn't matter who they are, as long as they are suspected, arrest them all. Anyone with evidence will be executed on the spot without reporting it to me." After speaking, Frederick picked up the pen on the table and wrote quickly
A warrant was given to Rocks' subordinates.
"Sir Rox asked me to ask His Majesty, what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved?"
"Tell Rocks not to worry about the crown prince. It would be better if he is not involved. Once he is involved, control him," Frederick said firmly. When only Frederick was left in the tent, he sighed softly.

“I hope you didn’t participate, otherwise,,,hey,,”
And what is our little William doing during this time? Haha, our little William is living a very happy life during this time. He is simply living among women.
"Brother William, my ankle is twisted, can you help me?" On a grassy field outside Potsdam, Elizabeth rubbed her heels and said coquettishly to William.
"Elizabeth, you are so cunning. Your feet were fine when you were chasing butterflies, but now they are twisted." Karina mercilessly exposed Elizabeth's lies, but she herself shouted again:
"Brother William, my stomach hurts so much. Come and show me what's going on."
William was sitting on the grass playing chess with Sophia. They were playing chess that was close to modern chess. After hearing Elizabeth and Karina's calls, the two smiled slightly, and William said to them:
"Elizabeth, Karina, come here, see for yourselves that you have all turned into little kittens." When Elizabeth and the others ran over, William picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on their faces.
"Sit here and play chess. You are not allowed to run around, you know?" William said. The two girls lowered their heads shyly and agreed, then sat down and watched William play chess.
"Sofia, I lost again. You are so awesome." William praised Sofia after losing three games in a row.
"Where, His Highness asked me, otherwise how could I win?" Sophia said modestly.
"Elizabeth, Karina, you should learn more from Sofia, she is a lady." William used Sofia's appearance to educate Elizabeth and the others.
"I know" Elizabeth and Karina reluctantly replied.
"I see you can't sit still, let's go hunting," William said to Elizabeth and the others, knowing full well the principle of giving a sweet date to a stick.
Sure enough, the two little girls cheered loudly, took William's arms and ran away, leaving Sophia helplessly smiling helplessly.
