The Crown Prince didn't wait long in Lichtenau's room when he heard the sound of the door being opened. The Crown Prince stood up and walked towards the door. He couldn't wait. But when he took a closer look, there were three big men in front of him.
He asked:
"Who are you, get out of here quickly"
"The person who wants your life"
The other party only replied, and the three people ran over and hugged the crown prince. The crown prince wanted to shout, but his mouth was blocked with hands. One of them took out the dagger on his waist and pointed at the crown prince.
The crown prince struggled hard, but his hands were firmly controlled by the other two people. The man pulled out the dagger and stabbed them repeatedly until the crown prince's body stopped twitching.
Let go of the crown prince.
"You two quickly go to the ball to create chaos. All the Prussians present will stay here today," Ryan said to the other two people. The two people agreed and walked out. Ryan glanced at the crown prince lying on the ground and sighed.
After taking a breath, he hurriedly ran to the backyard.
The two assassins sneaked into the ball scene, first smashed the chandelier in the hall, and then took out short guns and shot into the crowd. The female nobles present shouted the horrific word "help" in a high-pitched voice. The male nobles volunteered.
He rushed towards the assassin. The guards outside the door heard the cry for help in the hall and rushed into the hall.
I saw chaos in the hall, with some women making nervous cries for help, and injured people making miserable cries. The guards tried their best to search for His Highness the Crown Prince, but could not find him.
At this moment, hearing the chaotic sounds coming from the direction of the hall, Lichtnau frowned and sighed softly on the carriage in the backyard:
"My beautiful villa, farewell forever." After saying this, they asked Ryan to drive his horse and rush out. Since the soldiers were attracted by the chaos in the front yard, there were not many people in the backyard, and their carriage luckily rushed out.
The Crown Prince's attendants were going crazy. They couldn't believe this fact. They saw the Crown Prince lying on the carpet, blood flowing all over the floor, and several wounds on his chest that were obviously stabbed by daggers. When he checked his breath, he found that the Crown Prince was not breathing.
The leader of the guards was so frightened that he quickly ordered more troops to surround the house, and ordered his subordinates to immediately report to Duke Rox and ask him to blockade the entire Potsdam. After making these arrangements, the leader of the guards was gloriously frightened.
Fainted.
Later, when Rocks heard the news, he exclaimed: Oh God, he rushed to the scene. At the same time, using the emergency power given to him by His Majesty, he ordered the Potsdam City Guards to blockade the city, and ordered all the nobles in Potsdam to go to the municipal government.
Assembling in the lobby, he also ordered the immediate arrest of those in the Austrian spy base that had been under surveillance.
The whole of Potsdam was filled with hustle and bustle. Countless nobles were ordered by the city guards to gather at the city hall, and all the nobles were disarmed. At the same time, there were guards patrolling every street in Potsdam. The people of Potsdam did not know what was going on, but when they saw
Those heavily armed soldiers and some nobles wearing only pajamas outside the window knew that Potsdam was no longer peaceful tonight.
When Duke Locks arrived at the scene, several royal doctors stood aside and shook their heads at him. Looking at the crown prince lying on the bed, Locks' eyes darkened. He knew he had to hold on now. For the sake of Prussia, Locks suddenly remembered
One thing happened, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush to Sanssouci Palace to protect Prince William of Brandenburg. Rocks covered the crown prince's face with a white cloth, and he said to several royal physicians:
"Please understand that starting today, your freedom will be restricted until His Majesty's order is issued. I am very sorry." After hearing this, several royal doctors expressed their understanding of Rocks' decision.
When Rocks rushed to the city hall, little William was also called by Old Hans. Old Hans took William's hand to the door of Louise's room and motioned William to go in. William walked in puzzled, only to see his
His elder sister, younger sister and younger brother were all there. William frowned, and he understood that something big had happened in Prussia.
Louise saw William walking in and quickly said to William:
"What happened outside? Could it be a mutiny? Those soldiers rushed into my room and took away all my servants. William, are you injured?"
"It shouldn't be a mutiny. If it is a mutiny, there will definitely be gunshots, but something big must have happened. Mother, don't worry, just wait until dawn tomorrow." William comforted his mother.
"That's good." Louise sat by the window and looked out the window at the soldiers everywhere in the courtyard. She hugged her children tightly and muttered God's blessing.
In the city hall, Rocks showed the warrant given to him by His Majesty the King to the nobles. He said:
"In view of the current dangerous situation, I announce that everyone present will not be allowed to leave this hall from today. Anyone who leaves will be punished with treason. In addition, if there are any nobles present who have close contacts with the Austrians, please take the initiative
If you surrender, Your Majesty will be treated leniently. Otherwise, once found out, you will be immediately punished with treason."
After speaking to the nobles present, Rocks ignored the protests of some nobles and strode to Sanssouci Palace. Rocks knew that he had to ensure the safety of the royal family members, especially little William.
William looked at the soldiers in the courtyard downstairs and was very confused. He couldn't remember what other major events happened in Prussia this year in history besides the War of Bavarian Succession. Could this be the butterfly effect? He was confused.
After a while, he heard the announcement from the attendant outside the door: His Excellency the Duke of Locks asked for an audience.
Louise hurriedly announced Rocks to come in. Looking at Rocks with a dark face, Louise asked:
"Your Excellency, what happened? Why were all my maids arrested and there were so many soldiers outside the window?"
"Your Highness, the soldiers outside the window are specially deployed by me to protect your safety. Please don't worry. There are Austrian spies among us, so I must do this for the safety of the royal family. And in the past two days, I
The attendants of Sanssouci Palace will be investigated, please don't worry," Rocks replied.
"That's good, by the way, Mr. Rocks, where is my husband, the Crown Prince?" Louise suddenly thought of the crown prince and asked Rocks.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting in Potsdam, and we will also conduct an investigation on the nobles in Potsdam, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Potsdam in person to take charge," Rocks replied with a frown.
William saw the small change in Locks's face, and he felt his heart suddenly beat rapidly. He felt that something bad must have happened.
After receiving Locks' answer, Louise quickly put her child to sleep. William lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
