In the Saint Solan aristocratic circle, the Anthonys and their wives do not have many friends because of their special status, but they do not have many enemies. They rarely participate in the interest disputes in the Solan aristocratic circle, and no one is willing to risk offending them.
It's the Lanlish family's risk to provoke them.
Normally, let alone Watts and Old Barno, even Donald must remain humble and gentle when they meet. Therefore, Prince Anthony and his wife do not have any special views on the people of Donald's family, even in the
In some matters, both parties have common interests.
But now, when they saw these two people, Anthony and Elizabeth were filled with anger. In their opinion, the reason why their beloved daughter fell into the abyss was inseparable from these two people!
First of all, the original plan against the foreign race seemed to be the action of several families under the leadership of Scarlett, but in fact, it was the old Watts who was hiding behind the scenes who was really in charge of the matchmaking. As an elder, in this matter
On top of that, he is rich and has unshirkable responsibilities.
Besides, the Bano family is also from his side.
The conflict that shook the empire on the night of Munich took place because the Bano family was eager for quick success and used despicable means to attack the dwarf convoy.
If it was just like that, that would be it. What made the Anthonys most angry was the series of performances in which old Barno jumped up and down.
Originally, after paying the ransom, the matter was over according to the rules of the nobles. If the matter was resolved in this way, then even if Scarlett was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. Normally, she should have returned to the imperial capital.
.
But because Old Bano wanted to avenge his dead son Bano Jr., he secretly insisted on hiring a dark executioner to take revenge, which led to what happened later.
It was he who opened the door!
If you tell this reason to other people, I am afraid that 99 out of 100 people will think that this is an unreasonable statement and an out-and-out anger.
Not to mention that Scarlett and the others were invisible partners with the Bano family at the beginning. They did not prevent the Bano family from attacking the dwarf convoy. Just saying that the old Bano later hired a murderer to assassinate Leo. It was completely compatible with him.
Scarlett has nothing to do with it.
Scarlett's decision to go to the abyss was her own. In fact, if you ask Elizabeth now, I am afraid that even she cannot understand why her daughter made such a decision. And more importantly, even she herself did not hire
Did he assassinate Leo through the hands of the Blood Demon?
However, for the Anthonys now, these are not important.
During the cooperation, these people failed to protect Scarlett, allowing her to endure the humiliation of the Munich Night defeat. Moreover, because of their stupidity and unlucky unnecessary actions, Scarlett, who should have stayed away from the dispute, was kicked off
I fell into the vortex of the devil's trap and became a victim.
This alone was enough to make the Anthonys hate Watts and Old Barnaugh with a passion.
"parking!"
Elizabeth stamped her foot.
The convoy slowly stopped on the road. A huge carriage dragged by two ground dragons and dozens of heavily armed knights blocked the entire road.
Soon, the Watts and Old Barno convoys approaching here also stopped. Seemingly seeing the coat of arms of Prince Anthony's family in the convoy ahead, the two quickly got off the carriage and headed this way surrounded by several knights.
Come.
One of the prince's bodyguards opened the carriage door.
Elizabeth got out of the carriage.
"Good day, Your Highness, Princess." Watts, who was wearing a silver wig, a thin figure, and a slightly sinister-looking aquiline nose, greeted slightly.
"Good day, Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth." Old Barno's attitude on the side didn't seem as respectful and sincere as Watts's.
Although this old man with a fierce appearance and a arrogant expression also smiled, there was a hint of contempt and gloating in his eyebrows.
Not long ago, the death of little Bano made old Bano taste the pain of a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person. For him, an only son, this is undoubtedly the heaviest blow in life. Looking back now, he
I don't even know how I spent that time.
If you can still lick your wounds silently in the pain of losing a child, if you can still choose to ignore the cynicism and gloating from rival families, then. After Scarlett, Richard and Oscar were captured, several families quickly chose to surrender
The ransom compromise made old Bano furious.
Because that means that these families will completely get rid of this common whirlpool. The words they signed on the agreement represent their admission of the failure of this confrontation. They also promised not to pursue it in the future and never have anything to do with that damned person.
The boy is the enemy.
For old Bano, who paid the price of his son's life in this incident, this is a complete betrayal!
Therefore, when he saw Prince Anthony's motorcade, Old Barno, who was sitting in the same carriage as Watts, actually burst into laughter and leaned back and forth. Of course he knew why Prince Anthony and his wife rushed to the entrance of the abyss. This made him feel
Incomparable pleasure.
It was only after he got off the carriage that he put away his smile and pretended to be humble and polite. But even so, the trace of schadenfreude could never be wiped clean.
Faced with the greetings of the two people, Elizabeth nodded and asked calmly: "What are you two?"
"We are also rushing to the entrance of the abyss," Watts said respectfully. "I heard that the situation is not very good. We need to confirm it ourselves. Your Highness, Princess, you know that the Tomahawk Knights are also going."
Watts didn't finish what he said, but Elizabeth also understood the implication.
The Tomahawk Knights have always been a powerful force that cannot be ignored among Donald's forces. It is precisely because he has mastered three of the five top knights in the empire and more than half of the frontier legions that Donald is able to conquer Solan.
The empire covers the sky with one hand and competes with the orthodox royal family.
For many years, Grand Duke Reno has been loyal to Donald. Even if there are rumors that the death of his daughter Sarah is inseparable from Donald, Reno has never mentioned it.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a manifestation of Renault's loyalty.
But in fact, for confidants like Donald and Watts, this is a dangerous sign. Donald once took the initiative to mention this matter in a conversation with Renault, trying to untie his knot, but Renault could not
Their attitude was all respectful and did not reveal any suspicion or dissatisfaction.
But the more this happened, the more Donald became wary of Renault.
Watts knew this, all the nobles of Donald's family knew it, and Archduke Renault naturally knew it. But for more than ten years, he never explained it, and always maintained the kind of behavior that seemed to have no faults on the surface, but made people laugh.
The attitude of not daring to think deeply about it.
In recent years, Renault's position among the nobles of Donald's family has become more and more subtle. Donald, on the other hand, simply placed his own men in the Tomahawk Knights.
Of course, Donald would never do such a thing himself.
The person who came forward was Watts.
In the same camp, it is extremely common for several subordinates to fight with each other. For Watts to come forward, for Donald, he can avoid giving people an excuse to attack unsympathetically, while for Watts, it is a
A good opportunity to suppress the Renault family and strive for a higher position.
Watts never minded being a knife for Donald. In fact, everyone knew that he was the most vicious and bloody knife around Donald. Over the years, his hands had been stained with the blood of countless people.
And this is exactly how this kind of people live.
If the abyss demon invasion in Lulian was only resisted by Adolf's army, Watts would not go at all. However, since the Tomahawk Knights were involved, he had to go.
Especially when he heard that the first line of defense had been breached, he would definitely prevent the Tomahawk Knights from suffering undue losses at the wrong time.
As for what will happen to Lulian and even the entire southern part of the empire, he doesn't care at all. In this world, even if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. To deal with the invasion of the abyssal demons, there is the royal family, the Holy See, the imperial army, and the south.
lord.
For him, the important thing is that the things that belong to Donald must be held in his hands.
Looking at Watts, who looked humble in front of her, a trace of disdain flashed in Elizabeth's eyes.
She nodded and said calmly: "I have the same destination as you two. You two must also know why I went there, right?"
The expression on Watts' face froze.
On the face of old Bano, who had his head half lowered, there was a trace of hidden gloating.
But at this moment, there was a snap, and Elizabeth had raised her hand and slapped Old Barno on the face. The slap was so fast, fast and hard that Old Barno was caught off guard, and his face suddenly turned away from the slap.
When he came back to his senses, he covered his cheeks in shock and anger, his old face completely changed, full of ferociousness: "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Watts grabbed him.
"Your Highness," Watts said with a gloomy face, "I can understand your current mood. However, we cannot blame us for what happened to Princess Scarlett."
"I don't care about those things. I only know that if it weren't for your stupidity, these things wouldn't have happened. It was really blind to let Scarlett cooperate with you in the first place." Elizabeth turned around coldly: "If my daughter has anything
Three long and two short, I want your whole family to be buried with you!"
Elizabeth's figure disappeared as the carriage door closed.
At that moment, Watts and Barno Sr. saw the cold and cold eyes of Prince Anthony, who had never shown his face.
"drive!"
The carriage began to move forward, and the surrounding knights galloped to follow.
Watching the convoy go away, old Bano spat fiercely and cursed angrily: "This stinky bastard. She thinks she can be arrogant and domineering just because she is a member of the Langris family. This is Solan, not the Pompeii Empire...
…”
Watts waved his hand, interrupting Old Barno's scolding.
"Do you think the most terrifying person is Elizabeth?" He turned around, took a deep look at Old Barno, and then walked towards his carriage.
Old Bano was stunned. Anthony's eyes immediately appeared in his mind.
This was the first time in decades that he saw such a look in the eyes of this art-loving and gentle prince. Suddenly, he shuddered... (To be continued.)
