I really can't control myself

Several people were a little surprised when they suddenly heard about this, but they were not completely unexpected. In fact, Barry felt that something was not good before, because the second batch of swordsmen who came to kill them came too quickly. The people who went back to ask for help contacted them almost immediately, indicating that they were nearby, so this What are the assassins doing around here?

According to Barry's guess, these assassins were originally divided into two teams. One team assassinated Baron Merloway, and the other team came to the forest to pursue Linton and the others. The target was originally the Merloway family, and the princess was implicated. Later, due to the failure to assassinate Linton and Garsain, people from another team were called to help, so the second group of people came so quickly.

The five-star swordsman-level assassin was indeed too powerful. Not to mention monsters like Linton, it was impossible for ordinary people to escape his assassination. Barry had a premonition that something was going to happen before he came back, but he was still a little surprised when he actually heard the news.

So who did the Meloway family offend? This force that can dispatch five-star swordsman-level assassins is definitely not a small force. Let alone the baron level, it is impossible for the earl level to have an assassin team of this level. In other words, a force at least at the duke level wants to assassinate everyone in the Meloway family. What kind of trouble is this family in?

Of course, Baron Seders also introduced the situation in detail. The disappearance of the princess was really a big deal. Naturally, everyone in the Meloway family mobilized and led soldiers to search everywhere. While searching, something happened. There were three people dead in total, including Baron Meloway himself, Linton’s eldest brother Jorab Meloway. The Baron's eldest son, Todd Meloway. The second son of the Baron, Gross Meloway.

Among them, the Baron's second son, Gross Mellowe, was only 9 years old and still a child. It was obvious that the other party wanted to destroy their family and would not let the children go.

According to Baron Thredes, Jorab and Todd were discovered and assassinated one after another, and the soldiers who followed them to find people were basically killed in battle. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, they also imposed martial law. However, they did not expect that Gross would be killed in the castle of the Meloway family. The assassin was really a bit powerful.

Such an assassination also delayed the progress of their search for the princess, so they did not dare to act casually in the past few days. The people of the Meroway family basically did not dare to come out, and were heavily guarded and hiding in the city. Baron Serdes led his troops to search for the princess outside. Although he was assassinated, he decided to take the risk in order to find the princess.

Hearing this situation, Princess Yalan blamed herself very much. Although she was not the assassin she was looking for, after all, Baron Meroway was attacked by the assassin because he was looking for her. She had a certain responsibility. But Reina next to her was very happy. Yes, Baron Meroway was dead, so she no longer had to marry, and she didn't even need a special order from the king. Of course, this was great.

Linton and Garsain didn't have much reaction. Linton didn't know his eldest brother well anyway, they had only met him once. As for Gassen, he doesn’t like this uncle anyway.

Barry also briefly told Baron Thredes about the situation they encountered. Of course, he didn't mention the fire-eating beast, but only talked about the assassin. Knowing that Linton and Garsain were also attacked by assassins, Baron Serdes here, as an elder, also thanked Barry. In his opinion, the one who solved the assassins was naturally the captain of the Maple Leaf Guard, Barry. Without him, It is estimated that both Linton and Garsain will die in the forest.

Although Baron Thredes knew that his prospective son-in-law Linton was not a waste, he did not think he was too powerful. And these assassins are definitely not ordinary people who can succeed in a heavily guarded castle. However, Barry was a little embarrassed when he heard his thanks. He had been saved by Linton several times, but he didn't explain much.

After the matter is briefly introduced, of course the remaining issues are dealt with in this way. This time, it was Princess Yalan who spoke first: "Baron Sedes, please rest assured. On behalf of the royal family, I promise you that I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

This matter originally involved the princess, and Baron Meloway was also a baron of the empire. The empire must take care of the assassination. Princess Yalan herself was a little guilty, so she took over the matter directly. This shows that the empire will investigate these assassins later.

"This group of assassins should have gone back." Barry said, "Their captain was killed and they should not be able to continue the assassination mission for the time being. They should be safe for the time being, but you still need to be more vigilant. You, Baron Thredes, are also targets. One, you must be careful. The empire already knows about this matter and will send people to investigate immediately, so please don’t go any further."

"Yes, Sir Barry, I understand." What Barry means is that you have no control over this matter. This assassin team is definitely sent by a big force. It is not something that you barons can control. Just leave it to the empire. Of course, Baron Thredes also understood and nodded in agreement.

"Lord Baron Serdes, although I really want to stay and deal with this matter, I must rush back to the imperial capital immediately." Princess Yalan said, "But don't worry, I will immediately report to the father and ask him to send someone come over."

It was normal for Princess Yalan to rush back, and Linton probably knew what was going on. When chatting before, Princess Yalan said that she wanted the fire-eating beast's horn because it was a material for making medicine and was supposed to save someone important, so she had to send the thing back immediately after getting it. This is also the reason why she previously supported Linton to go back and not take a detour, because it was really urgent.

While everyone was talking, they had already returned to the castle of the Melowei family. Seeing the princess back, the people in the Melowei family were relieved. After all, they were the first to hold the people responsible for the disappearance of the princess, and now they are being targeted again. No one dared to go out to look for the assassination, but fortunately the princess came back.

Princess Yalan also briefly explained the matter. Everyone was relieved to hear that the empire was going to investigate the matter. Linton didn't attract anyone's attention. Everyone thought it was Barry's fault that he was fine. As for the fire-eating beast, this thing was a phantom beast. No one had really seen it. They did notice that Linton was carrying A strange deer returns, but no one thinks it is the legendary beast.

However, when they heard that the princess was leaving soon, the Meroway family became nervous again. It is of course the safest for the princess to stay here. The empire will send heavy troops to protect her, but there is no reason for them to prevent the princess from returning.

At this time, Barry's people who had contacted his own guard immediately prepared a carriage for Princess Yalan to go back to, and set off immediately to send the princess back safely first. Princess Yalan seemed to be quite anxious to go back to save people, so she quickly prepared to leave. Before going back, she repeatedly assured the people of the Merowei family that the empire would send people to investigate the matter immediately.

At this time, the people of the Melowei family had calmed down a bit, and one of them stood up and said to Princess Yalan: "Your Highness, can I ask you a favor?"

"Who are you……"

"I am Lu Wen. Melowey is the second uncle of Baron Melowey." Yes, the person speaking was Linton's second uncle and currently the eldest member of the Melowey family, Lu Wen.

"Hello, Great Master Mero, what's going on?" Princess Yalan asked.

"Baron Meroway was assassinated. We want to send someone to make a formal report to the empire." Lu Wen said, "Secondly, when the new Baron Meroway takes office, according to tradition, he should also go to the imperial capital to accept the assassination." Take office.”

"Yes." Princess Yalan nodded, "So what you mean is... that you are going to let the new Baron Meloway set off with us to the imperial capital?"

"Yes, it's exactly the same way." Lu Wen said.

Everyone immediately understood what Lu Wen meant, which was to let the Maple Leaf Guards protect the new Baron Meloway. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Wen said. Reports and work reports must go to the imperial capital, but there is no need to ask the baron himself to go. Generally, someone can go. But the current territory is very dangerous. The enemy has already succeeded in their castle. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen to the new baron? In this way, it would be safer to go to the Imperial Capital with experts like the Maple Leaf Guards.

But wouldn't this drag the princess into trouble? You see, the assassins are mainly trying to kill the Merlot family. If you ask the princess to take the baron, won't she be implicated again? Although Lu Wen wanted to protect the new baron, he might offend the princess.

Of course, the guards of the Maple Leaf Guards also understood what was going on. One of the team members was about to step forward to scold Lu Wen, but was stopped by the captain Barry next to him: "Let the princess make her own decision."

The team members were a little strange, but they still retreated. Princess Yalan here thought for a while and asked: "Who is the new Baron Meroway...?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly, everyone looked in the same direction. Looking in this direction, the people who were looked at by everyone were also stunned.

"Me?" The person who spoke was Gasein, who was pointing at himself in confusion.

Linton was also stunned, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. The original Baron Meroway was his eldest brother Jorab. After his death, the heir was originally Jorab's son, but Jorab's two sons were assassinated. The next heir is Jorab's younger brother, but Linton's second brother was also assassinated before. Then, the next heir is the second brother's eldest son, which happens to be Garsain.

"Oh oh oh, congratulations, eldest nephew, you have really become a noble now." Linton patted Garsain on the shoulder and said with a smile.
