Chapter 42: The Coup

"This child is the illegitimate son of my deceased brother. It can be said that he is my only direct relative in this world. Speaking of which, I only found him two years ago and have been keeping him by my side. But I think that guy Gottfrey should be

Knowing this, I kept going step by step

Come on, you wish you could have replaced me as soon as possible!" The man with a sickly face sat on the chair and smiled bitterly. He looked at Viscount Seine and Sir Baptiste in front of the twelve or thirteen-year-old boys at hand. At this moment, this

The man could only entrust his nephew to the two of them.

In fact, William Chaplet had no choice at this time. The whole city had been sealed off. It would be too much trouble to take him away. This coup was obviously planned for a long time. The troops under the nobles who supported Marquis William were all defeated by Gott.

Free used various excuses to transfer him away. It can be said that there was no one in Corinth who could check and balance that man. Therefore, William Chaplet would rather give up the chance of escape to the child in front of him.

But the boy next to him was obviously unwilling to leave his side, with a look of tears on his young face as he said:

"Uncle William, I don't want to go alone! I want to stay with you!"

Although the boy who lost his parents since childhood was still young and did not understand the adult world, he knew clearly that if he really left, the man who had treated him like his own father in the past two days would probably never see him again.

arrive.

However, Marquis William showed an angry look on his face and yelled: "Charlie, how many times do you want me to teach you? You are already a big child, and you will grow up in a few years. Don't cry all the time!"

Listen to me and follow the two of them out of here safely

Charlie, this is my only concern." At this point, a soft look appeared on the man's resolute face. In fact, he had always regarded Charlie as his own son. He also knew that Gottfrey

I will never let this child go.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Marquis, we will definitely escort this child safely. It's just that our Prime Minister is purging the nobles who oppose him from top to bottom. I'm afraid that the entire country has completely fallen into his hands.

Even if we leave Corinth, there is only so much we can do. Please don’t give up so easily yet.” Although he agreed to the request of the Marquis in front of him, Viscount Seine had a look on his face.

He had a solemn look on his face. Although he knew the difficult situation he was facing, he actually wanted to rescue Marquis William out of the city. If the monarch of the Achaean Kingdom was here, someone would be there to escape smoothly just by raising his arms.

The crowd responded. And with only one child, even if he was indeed the heir appointed by Marquis William Chaplet not long ago, there is no doubt that the effect will be very limited.

Sir Baptiste on the side also had the same view. It was precisely because they immediately noticed that Earl Gottfrey had launched a coup that the two of them moved away Marquis William in time to hide their traces. Therefore, the rebels who jumped over the wall did not hesitate to use

A large-scale search was conducted throughout the city through purges. But this did not mean that they had no chance to escape.

However, Marquis William shook his head and said: "It's impossible. That would be too dangerous. In the end, the only possibility is that all of us will be caught in one fell swoop. I know my old friend too well. I don't need to say more.

What, I just hope you can protect this child Charlie and not let Chapulit’s name be cut off like this in my hands.”

Seeing that William had made up his mind and could not be shaken, Viscount Seine and Baptiste had no choice but to nod helplessly and agree to the last request of the monarch in front of them.

"After we leave safely, we will definitely ask Thessaloniki and Constantinople for help to attack the rebels and avenge you." Viscount Seine and Baptiste, who knelt down on one knee, swore to Marquis William in front of them,

The boy Charlie on the side also wiped his wet eyes, and also vowed in his heart to make those betrayers pay ten times and a hundred times the price.

But at this moment, what the calm-looking Marquis William Chaplet said next surprised both Senna and Baptiste.

"No, after you leave, do not go to Thessalonica or Constantinople. Go south and join the Greeks."

"What?!" They couldn't believe that the two people they heard looked at each other in disbelief at the same time. No one could have imagined that Marquis William would issue such an incredible order. At this time of trouble, not only would the relatively safe city of Cesaro in the north not be reached,

It would be ridiculous for the Kingdom of Nica and the Latin Empire to go to the Greeks, who were their feuding enemies.

However, Marquis William did not say this out of panic. The man said calmly: "This time, Gottfried specially moved the army outside, but now he has so many troops to attack everyone."

The city was blocked and purged, where do you think his troops came from?"

As soon as these words came out, Senna and Baptiste looked at each other and were shocked at the same time. A chill ran down their backs and they all said in unison: "You mean, there is someone else behind Gottfrey?"

"The only possibility is this, but I'm not sure whether it is Thessaloniki or Constantinople or something else... But one thing is for sure, my old friend must have already done this before

With the preparations for the aftermath, if you go north, you will only fall into a trap." He said firmly, and Marquis William seemed to be very sure of this.

"But with the Greeks... it would be..." Despite this, Viscount Seine was still hesitant. He had fought with Justinian before and escaped with his life. Even though Marquis William's analysis was not unreasonable, but he defected to Greece.

People always make him feel funny.

"Although I have never met the young man named Justinian, from the words you gave me for him, I guess that he does not have that kind of pure hatred for us, and such pragmatic people are often the smartest.

.If he is really as rumored, then it is absolutely impossible to turn a blind eye to the existence of Charles as my heir. Ahem -" he said slowly. At this moment, he coughed again due to his chronic illness. The look in Marquis William's eyes

But he suddenly changed, as if he noticed something.

"They're coming-"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the next second, a soldier's fierce shouting came from downstairs where they were:
