Marko Case made a lot of noise when he was fighting with the murderer.

In an instant, all the lords, including Bas Ridges, Bishop Bolton and others were all attracted over.

The killing of a prince is no small matter.

What's more, the prince died on the day of mourning for the former king, and died in the church of the Creator God.

Xia Zuoyi and Marco Case stood in the mourning room, surrounded by fragments of tables and chairs that were destroyed during the fight, and the floor was in a mess.

The prince half-kneeled in front of the statue of the Creator God, with a dazed and terrified expression on his face.

His limbs had become stiff, and he was fatally stabbed in the neck, blood was sprayed all over the place, and countless bright red blood droplets splashed on the pure white robe of the god statue, and then slowly flowed down... conspicuous and dazzling.

Bass Ridges stood at the forefront of the lords who followed him, his face did not show the slightest surprise, on the contrary, he quickly skipped the strange and eccentric look, his nose flapped slightly, and his breathing was slightly rapid and excited ...

However, he restrained his emotions very quickly, and there was no abnormality in a blink of an eye.

Except for Xia Zuoyi, who had been observing Bas Ridges since he appeared, no one noticed the strange disappearance on his face.

When Bishop Bolton saw Marko Case and Xia Zuoyi, his eyes flickered, and he paused before stepping forward to check the prince's situation.

Soon.

He confirmed the death of the prince, and then sadly asked who the murderer was?

Marko Keith shook his head with a heavy expression: "We don't know who the murderer is. The murderer covered his face...wearing a black robe that only clergymen can wear, but he is agile, like..."

"What is it like?" a lord asked hastily.

Marco Keys: "Like a knight who has been trained since childhood."

"what?!"

"how come……"

There were exclamations and unbelievable voices among the lords.

Xia Zuoyi looked at it calmly, and suddenly met Bas Ridges' eyes. There was undisguised malice and killing intent in them, which made him clenched his hands involuntarily, and his heart was off to a bad start.

Marco Case: "The prince had already been killed when Earl Designia and I came over, and we couldn't stop it in time..."

"Mr. Bolton, it's best to seal off the church immediately. The murderer who killed the prince is probably still here. I broke his wrist. As long as we investigate carefully, we can definitely find the murderer."

The corner of Bolton's mouth curled slightly, and his voice slowed down: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, no one will walk out of the church easily."

Marco Case frowned, feeling something was wrong.

He said again: "My lord, I request that the knights guarding the royal city be allowed to come to the church for investigation. In addition, quickly send someone to protect the two princesses..."

The prince was killed, and Marko Keith guessed that the two princesses might also encounter accidents.

Some lords echoed Marco Keith's words and wanted to leave the church to call in their servants and knights to protect themselves.

But others, including Bas Ridges and Bishop Bolton, were unmoved.

Marko Case began to feel something was clearly not right.

at this time.

A series of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the royal city knights in armor surrounded the mourning room, while their cold, sharp spears aimed at the lord inside.

The face of the lord changed immediately: "What's going on?! What are you going to do?!"

Marko Case instantly recognized that the knights in front of him were all dispatched by Bas Ridges.

He raised his head abruptly: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?!"

Xia Zuoyi: "Don't you understand? The murderer doesn't need to look for it anymore. The Duke of Ridges is too ambitious. He killed the prince in order to seek the throne."

"He's trying to restrict the freedom of all of us now to not leave the church."

"Mr. Bishop is obviously on the side of Duke Ridges, am I right?"

The lord who didn't know the truth was shocked.

The expression on Bas Ridges' face has already confirmed the authenticity of Xia Zuoyi's words.

Bishop Bolton looked at Xia Zuoyi strangely: "I didn't expect that the little count would be the first to see through this matter."

"But it's nothing, and it will save me to waste more time on you."

"The prince is dead, and Gadayat cannot live without an heir to the throne."

"My lord duke has always done his best and fulfilled his duty to Gardayat. If the king has no heir, he can be elected by the church and the lords. Naturally, I support my lord duke. You..."

A lord suddenly said angrily: "The killing of the prince was a conspiracy planned by you and them!"

"Bas Ridges doesn't deserve the throne at all! There are two other princesses in the kingdom, and their respective children can..."

Harry William scoffed, "You idiot, do you think we'll let the two little fish slip through the net?"

Unlike princes, princesses do not need to enter the church to mourn for the late king. They will wait in the palace for three days of mourning to end.

But the current royal palace is also under the control of Bas Ridges.

The lord seemed to be strangled by the neck, his face flushed instantly, and his fingers trembled: "You, you...rebellious sinners...Chuangshi God will definitely punish you..."

Harry William snorted coldly: "The members of the royal family are all dead. You have no other choice but to support the Duke."

Marco Case said angrily: "He killed the prince, it is impossible to inherit the throne!"

Bas Ridges raised the corner of his mouth: "Who said I killed the prince."

Xia Zuoyi frowned.

Just listen to him continue: "The murderer who killed the prince was Gaina, and the people who killed the royal family members were all spies sent by Gaina to Gadayat, and have nothing to do with the Duke."

Xia Zuoyi immediately thought of the death of the third prince Gaina.

Bas Ridges and Bruno Green had already cooperated secretly when they wanted to kill him before, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not continue to be in touch now, and the two sides will complete the shady business for each other.

For example, this time, the Qana people killed the prince.

As long as Bas Ridges firmly controls all the lords, the conspiracy on the surface can be buried.

What's more, there is no friendship between Gadayat and Gaina, and there will often be moderate frictions on the edge of the border. The Gadayat people who don't know the truth will only turn their hatred eyes on Gaina .

There will be no hindrance to Bas Ridges' succession.

The other lords naturally also figured this out, with different expressions.

The previous angry lord shouted: "You are still in collusion with Gaina?! I must expose your true colors and make people... poof."

A long spear pierced the lord's chest mercilessly, violently provoking his body to smash against the wall, blood spurting out, scaring the bystanders for a moment.

Bas Ridges withdrew his eyes lightly, not looking at the corpse slowly sliding down from the wall.

Harry William: "You have to think clearly, you can continue to be your lord after supporting the Duke, and you will walk out of the church alive, or you will die, just like..."

Harry William glanced threateningly at the corpse on the ground that was gradually turning cold.

The face of the king city knight was covered by armor, and the sharp tip of the spear was facing the lord directly, and the atmosphere gradually became tense and oppressive.

Some lords began to waver, their expressions constantly changing and hesitating.

In the end, one lowered his head and moved his feet to stand behind Bas Ridges.

"Enge, you!"

Marko Case stared at the man in disbelief. He didn't expect that the first person who walked over was an earl with whom he had a good relationship.

Harry William said with a satisfied smile: "Those who know the current affairs will live a long time."

Some people take the lead, and the rest will have no choice but to make decisions.

In the end, except for Marko Case and Xia Zuoyi, everyone else chose to side with Bas Ridges.

The lord even persuaded: "The members of the royal family are all dead, and a successor must be elected... There is no loss for you and me if the Duke of Ridges succeeds the king."

Now that things have reached this point, they can only accept their fate.

Marko Case's chest rose and fell.

Xia Zuoyi kept a cold face and said nothing.

After all, there is still a big difference for him whether this matter is successful or not, and Bas Ridges will not let him go.

Sure enough, with Bas Ridges' eyes and a slight movement of raising his hand, the royal city knights surrounding the room aimed their cold and sharp spears at Xia Zuoyi in an instant.

Marko Case subconsciously stood in front of Xia Zuoyi: "What are you doing?!"

"Of course the duke wants to kill me."

Xia Zuoyi said behind Marko Keith: "Whether I am on his side or not, he just wants me dead."

Marco Case frowned: "Why?"

Xia Zuoyi: "There is no reason for the bad guys to kill people."

"It's like he could carefully plan to kill the prince in order to ascend to the throne, and he didn't hesitate to kill those who resisted him before... Do you think the death of the previous king was also related to him?"

Marco Case was moved when he heard this.

The other lords couldn't help but look at Bas Ridges.

Xia Zuoyi said: "Are you really going to choose to follow such a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"

"He can murder the royal family in order to achieve his goals, and he can also threaten and coerce you for the sake of a legitimate succession."

"It's hard to guarantee that you won't be murderous again for profit or to conceal today's truth. At that time, you may not even know how you will die..."

The lords who had just surrendered began to change their expressions and shake their minds again.

Bas Ridges' face suddenly darkened.

This little brat always spoils his good deeds openly and secretly. He is young, but has many eyes... Xia Zuoyi's existence is like a thorn in his heart, and he can no longer keep it.

Just as he was about to order Xia Zuoyi to be killed, a priest suddenly ran outside the door and whispered in Bishop Bolton's ear.

Bolton suddenly changed his expression.

He looked at Bas Ridges and said, "I have something to leave first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bas Ridges to answer, he turned around and left quickly.

Bas Ridges frowned displeasedly.

But he needs the church's support the most in the future, so he can only suppress the anger welling up in his heart, and stare at Xia Zuoyi sinisterly: "Kill..."

"Chirp—"

A sharp sound like birdsong suddenly sounded in the room, penetrating and ear-piercing.

Everyone subconsciously frowned and covered their ears.

Xia Zuoyi kept blowing the whistle with her mouth in her mouth, and quickly retreated, trying to retreat to the small window at the innermost side of the mourning room... However, a long spear in the oblique stab had already been swept away.

——"Bang".

The long spear was blocked by Marko Case, and hit the statue standing on the right, suddenly striking a crack.

Xia Zuoyi's eyes were turned upside down in an instant, and she was picked up by Marko Case and held at his waist.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of broken windows and the exclamation of the lords... The scene in front of him changed at the same time, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic and noisy.

A knight running over shouted: "Walker William has kidnapped Keith William! He is leading people into the church..."

Bas Ridges' angry voice sounded behind him: "Chasing! Catch them!"
