Chapter 22 The Ball Murder

At Mrs. Lichtnau’s home, Lichtnau held the livid-faced Crown Prince’s arms and sobbed softly:

"Tell me, Lichtnau, how could these things be in the hands of your servant? I remember I only told you about the mobilization and march route of the Prussian army. How could your servant know about it?"

"Your Highness, these things have nothing to do with me. Someone must have wronged me. You have to make the decision for me."

"Huh, okay Lichtnau, you have been with me for so long and you actually played this trick with me. There is no smoke without fire. Do you dare to say that you don't know anything about this matter?" the crown prince asked loudly.

"Your Highness, you have to believe me. I have been with you for so many years. Do you think I will betray you and betray Prussia? Your Highness, this must be a random fabrication by Rocks and others. Your Highness, you must avenge me." Lichtenau

Continue to cry out for injustice.

"It seems that I love you too much. From today on, you are not allowed to walk out of the door. I will get to the bottom of this matter. It is not your fault, and I will forgive you. If it is your fault, just wait

Let's cut him to pieces with a thousand cuts, huh." After saying that, he flicked his arm, pushed Lichtnau away and strode out.

Lichtnau suddenly panicked. She discovered that the Crown Prince at this time was no longer the Crown Prince in her memory. In fact, children in the royal family have always been precocious. Maybe most of them are not very smart, but

They have always made a clear distinction between right and wrong.

This incident made the crown prince suspicious of Lichtnau. After all, Lichtnau was originally an Austrian, and she had motives and abilities.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, Lichtnau immediately called Ryan in and said:

"The plan has changed. Even I can't figure out the Crown Prince's attitude now. I think we need to prepare early."

"What are you going to do? Just now I saw outside the house all the guards left by the crown prince."

"He is unkind and I am unjust. You go find someone to buy some food. I will hold a dance in two days and invite the crown prince to come. In the middle of the dance, I will invite the crown prince to the room. Then you bring two

You can go in alone and figure it out," Lichtnau said harshly.

"Isn't this too risky?" Ryan asked

"You also know the situation in Austria now. I heard that Frederick has already fought outside the city of Vienna. As long as he kills Crown Prince Frederick, he will definitely come back. By then Austria will be safe."

"Then what should we do and how should we evacuate?"

"You are really stupid. At that time, you kill the crown prince and quickly create some chaos. I will arrange a carriage in the backyard. At that time, we rush out." Lichtnau's eyes exuded a crazy look.

flame.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lane had to accept Lichtnau's crazy idea.

In Sanssouci Palace, old Hans is giving lessons to young William

"William, raise your arm a little higher, keep your eyes in a straight line with the gun and the target, a little higher," Hans called to William.

William tried hard to keep his arm, gun, and target in a straight line.

"William, remember, what you have to aim at is not a person, but a button on his body," Hans said again. Since the hit rate of the gun at this time was so low, veterans all knew that if you aim on the battlefield,

If the target is a person, then nine times out of ten you will miss this person, but if you aim at a button on this person, then nine times out of ten you will be able to hit this person.

There was only a bang, and William fired. After firing, a strong force rushed towards William's arm, but William withstood it.

"Not bad, it's improved compared to last time. It's better to practice more." Old Hans saw a hole in the target and said to William with satisfaction.

William smiled wryly and raised his arm again to take aim.

Two days later, a grand ball was being held at Mrs. Lichtnau's home. The entire Potsdam nobility was invited, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also be here tonight.

"How's it going? Are you ready?" Lichtnau said to Lane in the secret room at home.

"Everything is ready. I have chosen two dead men. They both have sworn hatred for Prussia. There should be no problem tonight, but where are we going to escape to?" Ryan asked Lichtnau doubtfully.

"I have a small house next to the city hall, and we will hide there when the time comes," Lichtnau said.

"Is that possible? Right under the nose of the Prussians?"

"Idiot, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If we take the carriage outside the city, we will get off secretly, and then the carriage will go wherever we want. If we sneak back to Potsdam, the Prussian gang will never think of it."

"Well, we can only succeed but not fail, for the sake of Austria."

"For Austria" Lichtnau shouted and walked out with Lane.

In the evening, Mrs. Lichtnau's home was brightly lit. Lichtnau and Ryan, who was apparently his butler, stood at the door to greet the waves of guests. Suddenly, a tall, gorgeous carriage appeared on the road and drove over.

, there was a double-headed eagle relief of the Prussian national emblem carved on the side of the carriage. Lichtnau knew that the Crown Prince was coming.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When the carriage arrived at the door of Mrs. Lichtnau's residence, Lichtnau and the nobles present saluted.

The crown prince's attendant opened the carriage door, and the crown prince got off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and walked over. He nodded to the nobles on both sides of the road from time to time.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the guests have almost arrived and are waiting for you." Lichtenau said to the Crown Prince with a flattering smile.

"Well, that's right. You should build a good relationship with the nobles and avoid doing meaningless things in the future, you know?" the crown prince said with meaning.

"Your Highness is right, I will do what Your Highness said from now on," Lichtnau said fearfully.

"Well, let's go in together," the Crown Prince said to Lichtnau, who was very satisfied with Lichtenau's answer. After that, he walked towards the door first.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." As the attendants shouted, the nobles in the hall quickly divided into two rows and curtsied.

The crown prince walked to the center of the hall, took a wine glass from the attendant and said loudly:

"Long live His Majesty the King, long live Prussia, the Prussian army will surely win." After saying this, he raised his glass of wine high and took a sip, while all the nobles present also raised their glasses and shouted slogans.

"Everyone has fun tonight, have a great time," the crown prince said again as if he were the host, and the nobles in the hall also catered to the crown prince.

Of course, the first dance of the ball belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mrs. Lichtnau. This is the consensus of the nobles.

After the dance, the Crown Prince was pulled away by Lichtenau. The Crown Prince signaled to his attendants that they did not have to follow, and the attendants all knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was happy. In a bedroom, Lichtenau was charming.

He smiled and said to the crown prince:

"Your Highness, I just asked a tailor to make a small underwear. Please sit down and wait for me, and I will show it to you." After that, he kissed the crown prince lightly on the face.

The Crown Prince was tickled by Lichtenau and said quickly:

"Go quickly, come here early, I'll wait for you here." After saying that, he lay on the bed.
