Legend of Eudemons

hours ago.

Salah cypress wandered around the perimeter of the palace.It was late, but as the head of the guard, he couldn't sleep no matter what.He certainly didn't expect to go to bed early and get up early, and he had nothing to complain about his job duties.But just wandering around in the middle of the night is really worrying - obviously the prisoner has not been caught yet, but there is nothing he can do.

Suddenly found a figure of a woman, wearing a black plain dress, walking lightly, carefully observing whether there is anyone nearby.A woman ran out alone in the middle of the night to the place where someone carried someone. Sarah didn't think it was weird. Maybe she was here to meet her lover or something... If it was such a private matter, of course it shouldn't be read any further.The problem is - this is outside the palace, there are no ordinary residents around here, this woman can only be from the palace.Look at the way she walks and finds her way, she doesn't look like an ordinary court lady or maid.And now it was the night when the two princes were in danger of being assassinated. The entire palace was under martial law. Anyone who ran around might be suspected. The people in charge of the palace should be very clear.Is there any important thing that must be pointed out today, at this time?And now you can't go in and out of the palace casually, how did she escape?

Sarah followed far behind.He wasn't sure if the other party was a Phantom Beast. Phantom Beasts had very good ears, and they would notice as long as they made a small noise.So I dare not get too close.

Finally she stopped at a place shaded by bushes near the palace.There is already someone waiting there.Sarah glanced at it for a while, and the other party was wearing a black robe to completely cover herself.It was dark now, only illuminated by the moonlight, and they were so far away that Sarah couldn't make out what he looked like.

"Has no one noticed?" said the man's voice.Salad munched and it sounded familiar.One man, one woman, is it really just a tryst?The timing was too unlucky.

"Yes. I am very careful. His Royal Highness Rococo is already asleep. I also checked very carefully on the way here, and no one followed him."

What a surprise!This voice is very familiar to Sha La, and she will never hear it wrong. It is Miss Rose, the assistant officer of Princess Rococo.And she mentioned "His Royal Highness Rococo", that is even more confirmed.

Miss Rose dating someone?If so, that would be good gossip, and even if Sarah heard it, she would definitely not say it.But after the next words, Sarah tensed up and listened.

"What's going on?" The man blamed, "Why didn't the assistant attack Daloni after he couldn't resist?"

Sarah nearly made a sound, but held it back with clenched fists.This is the conversation of the assassins! ?The tone he spoke to Rose, could it be that Rose was the one who assassinated Delloni, and that man was the main messenger?

...No, it is also possible that it is just the person who delivered the order and not the one who gave the order directly... Sarah held her breath and calmed herself down.In any case, there is no doubt that Rose was the executor of the assassination.

"This is because..." Rose said cautiously: "The situation at that time was no longer allowed... The fight between me and Huiyue has already attracted attention, and if I didn't escape at that time, it would have been exposed."

The tone of the other party was not convinced: "I will take it as it is. But the assistant officer is not dead, has he found out who you are?"

"I'm afraid..." Rose's voice was more cautious: "There is a considerable possibility—no, he should know. We have been in close contact." She paused, and whispered: "But I will handle this matter properly thing."

"How to deal with it?"

"I'm going to kill him." There was something terribly hollow when Rose said this. "The only person who can prove that I did it is Huiyue...His Highness Dai Luoni was drunk and injured at the time, so he was completely confused..."

"And you haven't even been able to kill such a person?" The reprimand of the other party was very obvious, "Don't think you can hide it. I know, you like that kid Dalony, right? He is handsome, little girl When you see it, you will be distracted."

Rose seemed to shudder.The man continued: "But you are just a phantom beast. Even if you become his assistant officer, so what? You know the rules. Even if you get his favor, so what?" He smiled: " You can't even be one of his concubines, don't even think about it!"

"I've never thought of such a presumptuous thing!!" Rose was a little excited.

Sarah listened to them talking, the more she chewed, the more familiar the man's voice became.It wasn't until he laughed out loud that Sarah hadn't remembered who it looked like—Like Lord Brooklyn!He is not familiar with Brooklyn at all, and he didn't know Brooklyn until recently, but from the day before yesterday to last night, he has been following Brooklyn as a guard, and he has been listening to him and the princes and nobles.This had just happened not long ago, and his voice was still familiar.But he dare not confirm.Your Excellency Brooklyn is the eldest brother of the king, how could he instigate such a thing?He didn't appear in Wangcheng all the year round, and he wasn't familiar with Dalony either.

He started talking again, as if he didn't believe Rose's argument, but he didn't argue with her either: "Forget it. It's not necessarily bad if the matter of Delloni fails. If it fails, there are countermeasures for failure..."

Rose held her breath and asked tentatively, "Do you want to do it again?"

"You like him so much, don't you want him to die?"

"No—I haven't."

There was panic in her tone.Is it because it was said?Or is it because she is afraid that the other party will doubt her loyalty?

"Since he escaped, I don't want to take any more risks." He said, "Originally, my purpose was just to kill Kainard. It’s also good to confuse their thinking.”

Salad was taken aback again.It turned out that he was also the one who assassinated Kaner!

What to do, is he really Lord Brooklyn?

He only heard him sigh: "Hey, it's a pity that the assassination of Kaynard also failed. It would be great if they died like this in one breath. But now the palace is in a mess. It is also beneficial to me. I have pushed the evidence of the assassination of Kaina to Antonio, so that Corban will no longer trust Antonio...I wanted to do it to Juliette...but she is too strong now, It's too difficult to hurt her."

Rose listened quietly and made no comment.Salad was surprised one after another.Unexpectedly, the other party actually told the plan directly.Not only for Daloni and Cainard, but also for His Royal Highness Antonio and Juliette?

And most importantly - he called the king "Corban", which is not how many people call Corban III.If you only called him by his name because you disdain or hate the king, you should call him "Corban III" like a white bird.The only name left after removing the "three generations" is obviously a name between brothers.More and more he felt it was Brooklyn.But I still hope that I am wrong.Finally, I tried my best to look at them, and found that their figures were also very similar.He was afraid that it was an illusion caused by his own preconceived ideas. He watched it several times, but he only felt that the more he looked, the more he looked like it.

what is this?Lord Brooklyn's series of assassinations and defamation plans against princes?He is the king's brother, he has everything, what else is the purpose of making such a high-risk and destructive plan?

He held back his shock and thought.

...unless he wants the throne.

If the king's children died, the throne could only pass to his closest relatives.The fathers of Corban III are no longer alive. Among the immediate relatives of the same generation, the younger brother Andyru is dead, and the elder sister, the Grand Duke Kotlaka, retired from the position of the Grand Duke of another country. Succession to the king does not conform to the etiquette and regulations; the younger sister Bellacris is not competent in terms of mental state or ability. Corban III has a younger sister between Andyrou and Bellacris. Now she is the queen of another country, and it is impossible for her to inherit the throne. Could be the Brooklyn succession.

However, Corban III had many children.There are 7 sons and 4 daughters.There is still a way to deal with one or two. It is unrealistic to think about all these people.To target so many people, it is easy to expose flaws.And if you think about it carefully, this plan is very scary, because Brooklyn is the elder brother, if you want to inherit the throne of Corban III, unless Corban III retires early or dies early——

Sarah didn't want to think about it any further.Hope to hear him say something more, but he has reservations, he probably thinks it is unnecessary to explain to Rose.Rose, on the other hand, seemed relieved when he said that he would not assassinate Delloni again.The man said: "Then you can deal with the assistant officer. However——if you accidentally get caught, I have nothing to do with it."

"I know that. I won't say your name either," Rose said hastily.

The other party laughed: "If you tell me, there is no evidence to point to me..."

Then Rose left in a hurry, and the man left too.Sarah really wanted to know who that man was, and waited for the two of them to leave before following the man.Tracking Eudemons needs to be careful to keep a considerable distance, but tracking humans doesn't need to be so troublesome.He came and went alone, with no one to follow him.Like Rose, he also walked towards the palace, but entered through another door.The guard at the gate saw him and let him in without questioning, which was very easy.Sarah became more and more suspicious, pretending to be patrolling nearby, and also entered the palace through that gate, followed him all the way, and finally arrived at the place where the royal family members and nobles who came to attend the commissioning ceremony lived temporarily.It wasn't until he entered the residence of His Royal Highness Brooklyn that he confirmed that the suspicion in his heart was no longer in doubt, but at the same time he was also taken aback.

By the time he was about to report the matter to the king, he had already heard the news that Huiyue had been assassinated and the assassin had been caught.He rushed over, just now.

"Then Miss Rose is pretty quick."

After listening to Sarah's memories, Shiratori commented.

"I was very contradictory at the time. I wanted to tell them quickly about the plan to murder Huiyue, but it is also very important to investigate the identity of the main messenger. Once you miss it, there will be no clues. In the end, I chose to find out the identity of that person At that time, I thought that the silencing operation could not be carried out so immediately. But the little white bird seemed to have foreseen in advance that the prisoner would come to kill the silencing. It is really reliable." Sarah smiled at him, but the white bird ignored him.

This thing sounds really unbelievable and thrilling.If it wasn't for Sarah's reputation in everyone's hearts, everyone knew that he wouldn't talk nonsense, otherwise no one would believe it.How did Rose and Brooklyn get involved?Rose is from the Phantom Beast Training Institute. She has been there since she was a child and has been living in the capital.Her life trajectory, from childhood to adulthood, is documented.Was she bought by Brooklyn during her training days, or did she work for Brooklyn after she became an assistant officer?

Corban III spoke slowly: "Is this true?"

Shiratori felt that most of the words were knowingly asking questions.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sarah said seriously.Corbin III was thoughtful, and finally said to Rose: "What explanation does Ms. Rose have for this matter?"

Rose seemed to shrink back, and replied, "I don't know. It's just his family's claim. Is there any evidence to support it?"

"If so?" Sarah smiled at her, and the muscles on Rose's face twitched a few times, "Then isn't the hypocrisy you're talking about now ridiculous?"

Rose didn't know how to react, but Sarah spread her hands: "Actually, there was no one else around, and the two of you were very careful. It was the biggest accident to let me hear it accidentally. The time is too long Urgent, no matter what, I think it is the first priority to inform Your Majesty and Your Highness first. After all, it is a matter of human life. There is no time to collect evidence bit by bit. When I went to collect evidence, the other party It is also destroying and passing on the evidence at the same time. When everything is sorted out, the evidence is conclusive—I'm sorry—" He coughed lightly: "—the princes may have died three or four times."

He spoke very bluntly, and Corban III didn't care, he just pressed Rose straight: "Ms. Rose...?"

Rose didn't answer, she could see she was nervous.It is predictable that it will be hard at this time.Shiratori didn't think he could get anything out of her.The words of torture might say something, and it might not be true, and besides, it didn't suit his taste.With Sarah’s testimony already in place, it’s okay to directly investigate Brooklyn now. Whether Rose confesses her relationship with Brooklyn is secondary.

He turned to Sarah: "From what you said just now, it seems that killing Kaina is more important than killing Delloni. Delloni doesn't seem to care whether he dies or not. But Kaina is determined to win?"

Delloni complained from behind: "It doesn't matter if I die or not...? Although I understand what you mean..."

Keener smiled nervously. "You think it's 'the'? Uncle Brooklyn?"

"Anyone is possible." Shiratori still said the same thing. "It sounds like Antonio was framed. But there's nothing wrong with being suspicious."

He glanced at Corban III: "What should I do? Are you going to secretly investigate Brooklyn? Or just break into the door with great fanfare and question him about it."

"Ah. Let me think about it." Corbin III said, with a haze on his face.
