"What!"

As soon as Isabella finished speaking, the Grand Duke of Bashut shouted in surprise and attracted all the gazes of the soldiers around her.

Seeing this, Isabella hurriedly winked at Grand Duke Bashut. Grand Duke Bashut also knew that he had lost his composure. After coughing twice, he asked again in a low voice: "Your Highness, can this matter be taken seriously?"

Seeing that there were always soldiers around him looking at him and the Grand Duke of Bashut from time to time, Isabella knew that this was not a place to talk, so she pulled the Grand Duke of Bashut's sleeve and said, "Grand Duke, there are so many people here, let's change the place."

"good."

After saying that, Isabella walked straight outside the palace, and the Grand Duke of Bashut also followed her on foot. His confidant suddenly felt confused when he saw this. He asked, "Grand Duke, are we not going to see His Majesty?"

"No rush for the time being, we have more important things to do now."

After saying that, the Grand Duke of Bashut stopped talking and quickly followed Isabella who had already walked to the outskirts of the palace.

...

Inside the Bashut family mansion.

After Isabella and the Grand Duke of Bashut sat down in the study in the mansion, Isabella informed the Grand Duke of Bashut about the assassination of the Dark Elf Clan with Lyon III a few days ago and the changes that followed Lyon III.

When the Grand Duke of Bashut heard Lyon III cast the magic flame and pulled out a long sword burning with magic flames from the void, his expression immediately became very ugly.

"I didn't expect that his Majesty still could not resist the temptation of Apophis." The Grand Duke of Bashut sighed. It was obvious that he had known about Lyon III's magic sword Apophis.

The magic sword Apophis?!!

Isabella's face changed when she heard this. She was born in the royal family and naturally had a very good understanding of some legends on the Arad continent.

Therefore, I have long heard of the horror of the magic sword Apophis.

"It turned out to be the magic sword Apophis. Hasn't that sword been lost in the long river of history? Why did it appear beside my father?" Isabella looked at the Grand Duke of Bashut in confusion.

"Oh..." The Grand Duke of Bashut sighed: "If you want to blame this, it's your second emperor's brother. If his men hadn't brought this magic sword out of the cave of the crying cave and presented it to His Majesty, His Majesty would not have been eroded by the will of the magic sword."

Edgar!

Isabella had such a great murderous intent to a person for the first time. Although Edgar and Isabella were children of Lyon III, how could I not know about Edgar's little tricks? However, no matter how Edgar and the First Prince had had a fight, they would never have bad ideas on their father's head. But this time, Edgar, a guy, knew that the magic sword Apophis would erode people's will, and even offered this thing to Lyon III. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a wolf's ambition.

"Then is there no way?" Isabella asked by suppressing the strong murderous intent in her heart.

The Grand Duke of Bashut lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "The people whose will has been eroded by the power of the magic sword can basically not get rid of the control of the magic sword. Even if we outsiders want to help him, we can't help. The only way to break free from the control of the magic sword is to rely on himself."

After hearing the answer, Isabella's heart suddenly became cold. If it weren't for the assassin of the Dark Elf Clan coming to assassin, Lyon III's willpower would never be controlled by the demon sword. Damn Dark Elf Clan, Isabella would never let you go.

Seeing that Isabella didn't speak for a long time, the Grand Duke of Barthut knew that Isabella was very depressed and needed to be quiet alone. After sighing slightly in her heart, she quickly left the study.

At the same time, he had another more important thing to do, that is, to find several other important officials of the military to discuss how to deal with the war initiated by the dark elves.

After all, Lyon III has changed his temperament because of the magic sword Apophis, so it is difficult to guarantee whether Lyon III will make any irrational actions in this situation.

You should know that the Caesar Empire is located in the center of the Arad Continent, and its territory is also the richest area on the Arad Continent. The four surrounding empires have always been eyeing the Caesar Empire.

Moreover, this time, the Dark Elf clan made it clear that he only wanted to trouble the Caesar Empire. Although it was not clear whether they would declare war on the entire human race in the future, at least one thing can be confirmed, that is, the surrounding four empires will not become the targets of the Dark Elf clan for the time being.

Therefore, in this case, if the measures to deal with the war are wrong, it will inevitably lead to the four surrounding empires that will also have the ambition of annexation to Caesar.

Unfortunately, the Grand Duke of Bashut still underestimated the current control of Lyon III over Vetalen. As soon as he walked out of the Grand Duke's mansion, four knights quickly surrounded him and said, "Grand Duke, your Majesty is welcome."

"This... OK." Although a bad premonition appeared in his heart, the Grand Duke of Bashut did not hesitate much. To be precise, he did not have time to hesitate more. He directly followed these four knights who came out of the palace and walked towards Caesar's Palace.

As soon as he left, Isabella rushed out of the Grand Duke's mansion and asked the two soldiers in charge of the door, "Where is the Grand Duke?"

"The Grand Duke just entered the palace with the people from the palace." The guardian replied honestly.

What!

Isabella was shocked. In this situation, anyone could enter the palace, but the Grand Duke of Bashut could not enter, because if Lyon III was influenced by the demon sword, it would be a big loss for the entire Caesar Empire.

Thinking of this, Isabella dared not hesitate, so she spread her wings of fighting spirit and rose to the sky and chased towards the direction of the palace.

Although Vetalun clearly stipulates that strong people above the fifth level are not allowed to fly in the air, who is Isabella for ordinary people? She is the third princess of the empire and the most beloved daughter of Lyon III. How could she be bound by this regulation?

Hope, there is still time.

But things went against my wishes. Although Isabella's flight speed had been activated to the extreme, she still failed to intercept Grand Duke Bassot before he entered the palace.

"Damn it, why is this happening? No, I have to go to see my father." Isabella, who flew to the door of the palace, fell from the air and walked straight into the palace.

It’s not that Isabella doesn’t want to continue flying, but that the entire palace is surrounded by a huge forbidden alchemy array, where even the holy-level powerful people cannot fly in the air.

But as soon as Isabella walked outside the study room of Lyon III, she found that the entire study room had been blocked by the purple-black magic flames.

not good!

Isabella's heart was shocked, and she wanted to break the defence of the magic flame outside the study through attacks, but unfortunately her strength was not enough to achieve this goal.

At the same time, in the study room.

The Grand Duke of Bashut looked at Lyon III, holding the magic sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Give your Majesty back to me."

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe, why do you make such a request to me?" Lyon III said with a grim smile on his face.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a trace of clarity suddenly appeared in his equally evil eyes: "Great Duke, kill me, I don't want to be a slave to this sword."

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this, the Grand Duke Bassot felt anger in his heart, and his anger towards Apophis.

"Stop calling" Lyon III, whose will was eroded by Apophis, roared angrily, and half of his face returned to the state of Qingming again, but Qingming was only a short moment.

Seeing this, the Grand Duke of Bassot knew that his call was very effective for Lyon III at this time. He immediately shouted continuously: "Your Majesty, wake up! Have you forgotten your ambition? Wake up, Your Majesty, how can a mere magic sword be worthy of enslaving your Lyon III's will? You are the inheritor of Perus' bloodline!"

As the words of the Grand Duke Bassot continued to speak, the painful expression on Lyon III's face gradually increased, and his eyes, covered with evil spirit, began to return to clearness.

Apophis, who lived in his body, knew that he could never let the old man in front of him say this anymore. He grabbed it with his hand and a suction force appeared out of thin air, sucking the Grand Duke of Bassot from far to near and then pinching it into his hand.

"I'm immortal, go to hell to find your Majesty."

Apophis's hideous voice sounded, and at the same time, he controlled Lyon III's right hand to hold the body of the magic sword, aimed at the waist and abdomen of the Grand Duke Bashut and stabbed it with a sword.

The Great Duke of Bashut naturally would not sit and wait for death. He quickly used the fighting spirit to form a defense on the surface of his body. Unfortunately, facing the body of Apophis, the main body of the demon sword burning with magic flames, the Dou Qi shield on the Great Duke of Bashut's body was like a layer of thin paper, and it was shattered at once.

Puff

A sound of penetration sounded, and the Grand Duke of Bashuth suddenly glared, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, directly onto Lyon III's face.

Lyon III was poured into blood and immediately woke up from the devilish state. When he saw him pinching the neck of the Great Duke of Bashut with one hand and holding the magic sword in the other hand, he suddenly felt a sense of regret and anger in his heart. What he regretted was that he had not withstand Apophis' temptation, and what was angry was that Apophis actually manipulated him to kill his most important imperial minister.

"ah!"

While the angry roar came out to the sky, Lyon III threw the magic sword away. The moment the magic sword escaped, the demon flame barrier outside the study also disappeared without a trace.

Bang!

Isabella outside the study also rushed in at this time. When she saw everything in the study clearly, she suddenly felt a bad premonition in her heart.

"Father..."

Lyon III raised his head and said sadly: "Isabella, I..."

Isabella nodded: "I know how to do it, Father."

"Come!"

"exist."

Two knights came in.

"Send the order, in order to protect His Majesty, the Grand Duke of Bashut was assassinated by the traitors of the violent hunting group." Isabella said lightly.

The two knights looked at each other, then looked at the Grand Duke of Bashut who was lying on the ground and bleeding profusely, and gritted their teeth: "Yes, Your Highness, the Queen."

......

Airport Pier outside Vetalun City.

Kakun drove Mogad to land steadily from the sky, an old man wearing the Bashut family logo robe rushed to the exit of Mogad and shouted loudly: "Master Bahn, what happened to him, Master."
