Release that Witch

54. Chapter 54 “Beat Loss”

    Petrov didn’t expect to revisit so quickly.

    He didn’t want to leave the warm house in such a cold winter, especially when Evil Beast was raging, but Duke Ryan named himself to hand this hot paper to Fourth Prince.

    Of course he knows the content of the instrument – in fact, the entire Greycastle’s upper noble is discussing this amazing news: King of Greycastle has fallen because of a murder, it is Gerald Wimbledon, King’s eldest son who murdered him. Then he rushed to Kingdom Capital to announce that the country could not be without a day, and he would be on the throne as the second heir.

    However, this behavior was not accepted by everyone. Some people claimed that Gerald’s trial was very embarrassing. After the whole questioning, he only revealed several times, and he could not speak, and the both hands were tied. I hope that I can wait until things are completely checked before I decide to belong to the throne.

    Others rumored that this was just a second play by Timothy Wimbledon, who was self-directed. The real murderer was dressed up in a sad look, but couldn’t wait to see the Second Prince.

    Regardless of who is right or wrong in this debate, Second Prince, with the support of the Imperial Prime Minister, still temporarily seized the rights of the highest ruler of Greycastle as King. At the same time, he issued a recall order to all competitors – the king has ended, and the prince princess should return to Kingdom Capital before the end of winter after receiving the decree. The new King will officially cover the territory and the title based on the six-month ruling plan.

    Petrov can of course see the urgency of this order.

    Timothy Wimbledon can sit on the throne and watch the reaction of other prince princess. If you give up the king and return to Kingdom Capital, he will naturally become the undisputed Wimbledon IV.

    The documents sent to Border Town’s will be forwarded to Longsong Stronghold, and Duke Ryan himself sneered at the recall. When King was alive, he had a higher level of control over the feudal lord. As for the Second Prince, it was hard to do this forcibly. Coupled with the previous example of Gerald being sent to the guillotine, I am afraid that no one wants to return to Kingdom Capital alone.

    However, in the eyes of stronghold, this is a timely order.

    More than two months ago, Count Elk’s unauthorized actions made Duke very unhappy, especially failed. The reaction of the prince was also very fierce, and Hiller Dmitry was directly sentenced to a hanging sentence. If the next time, the two sides can be regarded as open torn.

    Originally Duke was going to wait until the end of Months of Demon to free up the trouble to solve the problem. Now with this official document, he can do a better job. Roland Wimbledon returns to Kingdom Capital, Border Town is naturally owned by Duke Ryan. If he does not return to Kingdom Capital, he can be forced by the military force – the new King’s flag.

    As for the final crown, Duke doesn’t care much.

    As an ambassador, Petrov is obviously not very comfortable. The last time I vowed to say that I will bring a new trade contract, the result is the black hand of Elk Family. Now he is coming, and it is also a bad news – whether it is the news of the death of Wimbledon III or the recall of the new King, Petrov believes that neither of Prince Prince wants to see it.

    The voyage along the way was smooth, and Greycastle was a country on the south side of the mainland. Even in winter, the river would not freeze.

    From time to time, Petrov visited the river bank through the window. He did not see the hungry and the people who fled the road. This shows that Border Town has not yet fallen.

    This made him a little surprised. After all, when he visited the city wall last time, he witnessed how the other side built the city wall. For these muddy stone walls, Petrov did not have much confidence.

    Then he was even more surprised. A sailboat with the Willow Town flag ran slowly from the right side of the river. This scene was familiar, but now it is Months of Demon! Did they still have leisure time doing business while fighting Evil Beast? If you don’t put all the miners on the line, how can you resist the cruel monsters!

    Three days later, the ship arrived at the Border Town dock.

    It was still the dilapidated wooden dock, but there was a simple wooden shed at the side of the dock. After the ship docked, the two guards walked out of the wooden shed and stared at the boatman’s every move.

    Petrov immediately understood Roland’s intention to place a post here.

    Fourth Prince obviously does not want someone to sneak away from small town through the waterway.

    After he jumped off the ship’s side and explained his identity to the guards, one person brought the horses and accompanied him to the castle.

    Like the last procedure, Prince Roland Wimbledon met him in the living room. Not only that, although not at this time, the prince still told the attendants to put on a rich meal.

    Carbon-baked pork leg, sliced ​​fish, a bowl of wild vegetables that can’t be named, and butter bread and vegetable soup that can be seen at any banquet.

    It seems that the prince likes to eat and talk about business.

    Petrov thought so, but his hands didn’t stop for a moment. After all, there were not many chances to have a meal. Even if it is the Honeysuckle Family, when there is no banquet for guests, it is basically a kind of potato bread with bacon.

    After eating the dinner, Petrov was reverently handing the papers as the desserts came up.

    Roland took it, the dining knife cut open the sealing wax, took out the paper roll and quickly took a few eyes, then slammed it.

    King is dead?

    For this nominal father, Roland had no feelings. He was already in Border Town when he crossed. He had never seen him in the face, let alone the only complaints and dissatisfaction with his father in Fourth Prince memory. Because of this, he feels that he is caught in an inexplicable embarrassment – should it be sad and sad?

    The following content made him smell a hint of conspiracy. Wimbledon III died of the murder of the eldest son? Second Prince announced the end of the competition as the new King, and ordered himself to return to Greycastle Kingdom Capital from now on?

    Roland coughed twice, raised head, just to see Petrov’s apologetic eyes.

    So that’s it, he thinks, stronghold Duke is only happy to see it, regardless of compliance with the new King’s order, is a dilemma for himself.

    He did not bring the contract of agreement, but brought bad news like a reminder. He was afraid that he would not be willing to go. Roland smiled secretly and folded the paper again. “I know.”

    “Hey, Your Highness, then you are going to…”

    “Even if I want to go, I have to wait until the Months of Demon ends. It’s snowing now, what if I left, what about the Border Town’s people? ”

    If it is someone else, Petrov will definitely say “don’t worry, stronghold will help you properly handle” such perfunctory words, or other diplomatic official response. But in front of the Four Prince who had only seen it twice, he could not easily speak. For the first time, Petrov was disgusted with the identity of his ambassador. Eventually he just nodded. “I understand, need me to send you a reply?”

    Roland called the attendants to send the pen paper, and soon wrote a reply letter, covered it with his own seal on the sealing wax and handed it to Petrov. The latter swept the envelope and the cover clearly stated the words to Greycastle Second Prince Timothy Wimbledon instead of King Wimbledon IV.

    He has already expressed his attitude, Petrov thought.
