The dungeon of the royal city is by no means a good place. The prison cell is small and damp. There is only a wooden bed in a few square meters of space. The walls are covered with mold spots grown from long-term residual water stains, but you can't smell anything. No matter how putrid it is,

If you smell the smell for a long time, your sense of smell will gradually adapt and become numb.

The former "Frosthoof Legion" deputy general Norden Regnom has been imprisoned here for several years. From the initial anxiety and mania, to later gradually adapting to the gap in status, he has no trouble in his heart and has calmly accepted his own destiny.

destiny.

Today was an extremely small day in the thirty-year sentence. Norden had even forgotten the time. He didn’t know what time of year it was, and he was living as haphazardly as usual.

However, an uninvited guest suddenly came to visit today, breaking his original rhythm of life.

Perseus stood outside the cell door wearing casual clothes and a black robe, silently watching the disheveled Norden.

The Frosthoof Legion is one of the border guard legions stationed in the north. They never return to the interior all year round, let alone enter the palace. Therefore, Norden has no idea what the legendary Perseus Van Dogulland looks like or what he looks like.

The person in front of you is the supreme king.

Norden looked Perseus up and down and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

Perseus: "I am the bodyguard of His Highness the Second Prince Andre. His Highness asked me to send a message. I have something to ask you."

As soon as he heard Andre's name, Norden's eyes seemed to be on fire and he roared: "Didn't I do what you said?! What else are you going to do?!"

Perseus narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I heard resentment in your voice. You seem to have been wronged?"

Norden closed his eyes unwillingly and stopped talking for some reason.

Perseus reached into his arms, took out a badge, and said, "I just lied to you. I'm not Andre's. I'm His Majesty's royal guard. His Majesty has been looking through the archives of the Frosthoof Legion recently.

I found some doubts in it and ordered me to come and question you clearly."

"Imperial guard?!" Norden's eyes suddenly opened, he squeezed to the edge of the cell door, looked at the badge carefully, and said, "Has His Majesty the King paid attention to this matter?"

Perseus took back the badge and asked silently: "His Majesty the King is very interested in the man named Kevin Troyin. Please tell me the story between you."

Norden seemed a little flinched for some reason, and his voice softened: "I dare not say otherwise my parents and children will be in danger."

Perseus: "His Majesty has a verbal decree, not to mention immediate execution, all immediate family members will be executed together."

Norden was so frightened that he started to sweat. He struggled with his thoughts for a moment, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but where should I start?"

Perseus: "Well, let me ask and you answer. Did that Kevin Troyin really come from a poor family? How did he suddenly jump two ranks and become a centurion?"

Norden whispered: "It is true that he was born as a civilian. When he first came here, he was a little-known soldier, but he was very talented and brave. I only found out later that the reason why Kevin joined the army was because there was someone behind him.

Funding and support.”

Perseus: "Who is this person you are talking about?"

Norden hesitated for a moment, perhaps because he was afraid of the possible punishment, so he had no choice but to do it honestly: "It's the second prince Andre Kevin, who was dug by Andre from among the people, including the one who suddenly became a centurion.

Andre said hello to the general at the time."

Andre often discovers talents among the people, sponsors them, and uses them for the country. This is something that many people know. Perseus was not surprised. He continued to ask: "Then what happened next? You and Kevin, the alternate commander, you

Why are you suddenly reselling controlled supplies? Can’t the military salary feed you?”

Norden gritted his teeth tightly and said with great reluctance: "That was an injustice! I didn't resell any supplies at all! I'm already a deputy general, is there any need to resell supplies? It was Kevin who deliberately joined others in order to get the upper hand.

Framed on me!"

Perseus frowned and said: "Do you think those judges are fools? Without complete confessions and physical evidence, they dare to convict a royal noble? And you are a member of Regnom, according to the law, you must

The leader will be interrogated by Sting himself. If you are framed, can you just tell Sting to help you find out?"

Norden clenched his fists tightly and his voice was trembling: "Master Sting did question me at that time, but I didn't cry out for injustice, I confessed directly."

This move made Perseus a little confused, and he asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to plead guilty?"

Norden whispered: "I am not from the Regnom family, but a retainer who married into the family later. I have no status in the family. My parents are only local minor nobles and cannot enjoy the treatment of the royal nobles."

"Kevin not only forged evidence to frame me, but the people behind him also held my parents and children hostage. If I don't plead guilty, they will be killed. In order to save my family, I can only give up everything I have."

"You just said that Kevin's 'person behind' held your family hostage." Perseus asked with piercing eyes, "Make it clearer and name this 'person behind'."

Norden gritted his teeth tightly and knelt directly on the ground. His voice was very low and deep: "My lord, please go back and report to His Majesty the King so that he should stop asking about this matter!"

"It doesn't matter if some things are not revealed. Once they are revealed, the whole kingdom will be in turmoil! Please go back and tell His Majesty that I was just asleep and talking nonsense. I was indeed reselling controlled materials. There is no grievance and no Kevin.

'The person behind the scenes', please don't ask any more questions."

Perseus: "His Majesty has spoken, and you must answer."

Norden froze on the spot, his eyes turned from empty to blank, and then he seemed to realize something. He stared blankly at Perseus in front of him, tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, and the majestic man couldn't stop sobbing.

stand up.

Norden knelt down to Perseus and said quickly: "There are two people behind Kevin. One is the second prince Andre that I just mentioned. He colluded with the former Frosthoof Army general to fight against dissidents and exclude dissidents, specifically to make his own

The retainer gets a promotion."

"There is another person whose power covers the sky. He has close contacts with officials from all over the country. He is also the person who used family documents to frame me. This person is"

Norden said the person's name repeatedly: "The right hand of the current king, one of the leaders of the six kings, Lan Xian Heqi."

Perseus stood silently, like a motionless statue, with only the cold light hidden in his eyes.

In the end, Perseus said nothing or asked any more questions, turned around and walked out of the dungeon.
