Chapter 283 Kevin's death!
When Gervais stood up and walked towards the door, two servants immediately came forward to help Gervais, but Gervais pushed him away. He was young and let the two male servants support him.
It always feels weird, and this is true for Alice. She is a man after all, so why not send two maids to support her and let these male servants collect the corpses in the vestibule.
After rejecting the valet's kindness, Gervais's random thoughts were immediately interrupted by a voice.
Gu~gu~
"I'll go, it seems I haven't eaten for a long time!"
Gervais had just moved a few steps in the corridor when he heard his stomach growling in embarrassment.
Until this moment, Gervais didn't think about it. He hadn't had dinner since noon. The only thing he ate at the banquet was a few bites of barbecue, but he was poisoned by Rolle, the man who killed thousands of people, and ended up vomiting it all.
came out.
Caressing his growling belly, Gervais felt a little helpless. Originally, Gervais was so bruised that he didn't want to go to the banquet hall. After all, he also had a lot of bruises on his face, which detracted from his tall image.
But now I can only go to the banquet hall to fill up my stomach first, otherwise I will be hungry, and then see how Alice will deal with Kevin's matter.
Because Gervais refused the valet's clothes, Gervais could only endure the pain and walk slowly.
When Gervais finally arrived at the banquet hall, he found that all the guests were gathered together and watching a good show. This relieved Gervais' pressure a lot and walked in with his head slightly lowered.
"Don't come over here! Alice, it's none of my business tonight. I don't know if those people will use purple elf bugs to attack Rose Castle!"
When Gervais took a closer look, he saw an incredible scene. Kevin actually held Caroline hostage with a table knife!
"What kind of trouble is this?"
Gervais said hello, didn't Kevin always regard Caroline as the leader? Why is he holding Caroline hostage instead?
Gervais was very interested in this kind of drama, so he quickly grabbed a few pieces of cake from the table nearby, and then squeezed towards the front of the crowd, preparing to watch a good show.
"Kevin, let Caroline go. As I said, I'm just asking you to find out about the man in the linen white robe. As for whether you are guilty in the end, I will leave you to the noble council to decide."
Alice was standing not far away, and Kevin was surrounded by Gandalf and others.
The status of nobles in this world is high. Generally, there are only two ways to judge nobles. The first is to be judged by the prince to whom the noble is loyal. This situation is usually used when there is a dispute between two vassals under the prince...
As for the other kind, it is the Noble Council. This Noble Council is composed of members from the eight major families of the Principality of Jean. The president of the council is the king. Alice cannot directly punish the heirs of Counts like Kevin, so she can only submit them to the Noble Council.
Conduct a trial.
Although there are some exchanges of interests in the noble council, after all, face is still needed on the surface. If they are really guilty and the evidence is conclusive, they will be implemented in accordance with the law. However, for some powerful nobles, the verdict will be
The severity of criminal laws may change slightly from time to time.
Like what Kevin did tonight, which brought unknown people with ulterior motives into Rose Castle, and had such serious consequences, usually he could be sentenced to death by hanging directly, but if Kevin's family is willing to go up and down to deal with it,
Then, appropriate compensation should be made to Alice, and it might also be possible to impose a punishment of depriving Alice of her noble title.
It is impossible for Kevin not to pay the price this time. After all, the castle is the fortress of the nobles and its status is particularly important. Some people actually send enemies into the noble castle to do evil things. No one dares to condone such a thing.
"Alice, I said, this is none of my business. I don't know them. I just took the money to bring the four people into the castle. I don't know anything else!"
"Alice, let me go. As long as you promise to let me go, I will let Caroline go."
Originally, Kevin would not have come to this point. Only when Alice came to the banquet hall and brought Gandalf and others to question Kevin and revealed the results of the investigation, Kevin knew that he could no longer hide it.
When he heard from Alice about the casualties in Rose Castle tonight, Kevin was even more frightened, especially when a silver intermediate knight died.
Seeing Alice preparing to take him away, Kevin, who was unable to explain himself, couldn't help but appealed to Caroline for help, hoping that Caroline could put in a good word for him.
Unexpectedly, Caroline knew that Kevin had still lied to her just now, and she was extremely disappointed. Instead of interceding for Kevin, she said that she would inform the eldest prince of Kevin's actions when she returned to the capital, and she made it clear that she would never do anything.
From this moment on, Kevin has been kicked out of the great prince's queue.
For a moment, Kevin was frightened and angry, and he directly held the knife on the dining table to Caroline's neck.
The most surprising thing is that Kevin can still use fighting spirit. It turns out that Kevin didn't eat any food at the banquet tonight.
Kevin knew that the guys he brought into the castle couldn't just steal it, so he was careful and didn't dare to eat any food. This allowed Kevin to still use his fighting spirit and steal it under the eyes of Gandalf and others.
Caroline held hostage.
Things have come to this point, how can Kevin give in? What he wants to do most now is to return to the Larkin family and ask his mother who loves her to help him find a way.
At this moment, Kevin couldn't believe the death of Alice, a silver middle-level knight. Kevin was worried that he would not be able to get out of Rose Castle. Even if Alice really handed herself over to the Noble Council, it would be Kevin's fault.
Would love to see.
Because he was handed over to the Parliament of Nobles, the Larkin family would not only have to pay a higher price to rescue him, but his title would probably be in jeopardy. In that case, it would be easier to kill him.
"Kevin, if you hurt Caroline, not even the Larkin family can protect you!"
Alice frowned. She really didn't expect that Kevin would still have the fighting spirit, and even be able to kidnap Caroline. When she was at the Royal School, Caroline wanted to help the eldest prince win over people, but in Kai
A lot of investment was spent on tattoos.
"Kevin, if you do this, my father and the eldest prince will not let you go. Even your father can't protect you!"
Caroline, who was held hostage by Kevin, did not have an expression of fear on her face, but was filled with anger.
Once upon a time, Kevin was just her follower, and she took great care of people like Kevin, but today Kevin actually held a knife to her neck. This was not only a humiliation to her, but also more likely that the eldest prince would look down on her because of it.
Caroline herself is also a high-level bronze knight, but because of the poison of the bellflower, she has no power to resist now. She can only be held hostage by Kevin in full view of the boss.
"I can't help it. You guys forced me. I just want to earn some gold coins, Gervais! If it weren't for Gervais, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
Kevin's words became hoarse, and even the hand holding the knife kept shaking because of nervousness.
Suddenly, Kevin saw Gervais who was squeezing out of the crowd. Seeing Gervais holding a piece of cake while eating and watching a show, Kevin's eyes were a little red. His current situation was not a gift from the person in front of him.
Now that I have no choice but to eat, this pretty boy has limited food.
"Viscount Kevin, why did you say that? The bet between the two of us was conducted under the watchful eye of the boss. Accept the bet and accept defeat. You can't spit on others."
"As a noble, you must have enough courage. Look at Boris, he also lost a lot of gold coins and a purple elf bug. Now he has to eat and drink well!"
Gervais was cheerful and not worried at all that his words would anger Kevin, because in his opinion, Caroline was not a good person. She actually helped Kevin to bribe him so that she would not hinder Kevin's pursuit of Ally.
Silk.
Gervais doesn't look kindly on people who want to wear colorful hats.
More importantly, because of Kevin, so many innocent soldiers died in Fort Rose tonight, including more than a dozen of his own slave soldiers who were seriously injured, and Alice lost a silver mid-level knight.
Gervais was eager for Kevin to take action now. As long as Kevin hurt Caroline in front of everyone, he would definitely get nothing good, not even the Larkin family could save it.
"Gervais!"
When Gervais finished speaking, Alice came to Gervase and shook her head at him, obviously worried that Kevin would really hurt Caroline.
Although Caroline has always been at odds with Alice, in general, Caroline is the granddaughter of the Lord of the North. If anything happens in Rose Castle, Alice will feel guilty!
"Gervis, one day I will make your life worse than death!"
Kevin was angered by Gervais's words, but at this moment he still knew that the most important thing was to escape from Rose Castle, so he glanced at Gervais resentfully and said a harsh word and then stopped.
Pay attention to Gervais.
When Gervais heard Kevin's cruel words, his eyes flashed coldly. This time was different from the past. Gervais could feel that Kevin really wanted to kill him just now.
"Alice, if you don't let me go, I won't be able to survive, and neither will Caroline!"
Like a trapped animal, Kevin's emotions gradually fell to the edge of losing control. He inadvertently increased the strength in his hand. Because of Kevin's increased strength, the sharp knife blade had already scratched the skin on Caroline's snow-white neck.
Bright red blood was already flowing out along the skin.
"Gandalf, Bernie, get out of the way and let Kevin go!"
Seeing such a scene, Alice finally relented. Gervase may not care about Caroline's life or death, but as a count, Alice cannot ignore it.
Gandalf and Bernie raised their swords. After hearing Alice's words, they could only step aside helplessly.
They also hated Kevin to the core, blaming Kevin for most of the cause of Viscount Pallant's death.
When Kevin saw Alice relent, the banquet hall had already made way for a passage, and without hesitation, he carefully moved Caroline toward the door. During this period, the knife in his hand never left Caroline's neck.
When everyone was staring at Kevin's every move, Gervais suddenly closed his eyes.
Kevin faced everyone and held Caroline hostage to the door of the banquet hall. At this time, Gervais opened his eyes again and walked straight in the direction of Kevin.
Kevin saw that no one was approaching. After walking out of the banquet door, he felt slightly relieved. As long as he continued to hold Caroline hostage and left Rose Castle on horseback, he could leave Jones Territory without stopping.
"You are not allowed to come out. When I leave the castle, I will let Caroline go!"
Kevin yelled and glanced towards the hall. Suddenly he saw Gervais again. Gervais actually looked at him with a smile. Kevin glared at Gervais fiercely and prepared to walk along the corridor.
Walk towards the exit.
At this moment, Kevin suddenly felt as if there was a black shadow surrounding him. Kevin looked up without doubt, but saw an ugly pig-headed man standing next to him with wide nostrils.
It almost sticks to my face.
"ah!"
Kevin, who was unprepared for the sudden appearance of the pig-headed man, was startled. The knife in his hand subconsciously left Caroline's neck and stabbed the pig-headed man in the head.
In the perception of everyone in this world, orcs are bloody and cruel. As long as they see humans, they will kill them directly without any negotiation.
Although Kevin was very confused, he had just observed his surroundings and found no other figures except for a few servants standing in the distance. Why did a pig-headed man suddenly appear?
Kevin's knife hit the target without any suspense, but just when Kevin didn't know why, a huge muffled sound came from his ears.
Bang~
With this explosion, a huge bloody hole appeared on Kevin's neck.
Hehehe~
Kevin let go of the dinner knife in his hand and covered his neck. At this moment, the things in front of him returned to normal. There were no pig-headed men in the hall. There were only white smoke floating slowly, and Gervais's
A hateful smile.
Kevin wanted to say something, but the huge wound on his throat made him only make a weak roar, like a big bellows that had leaked air.
Chapter completed!
