The next moment, the sound of a sword entering flesh was heard from the high platform, followed by a scream.
And the person who fell was none other than the eldest prince Byron, who had been frightened by the sudden turn of events.
"The...The eldest prince is dead! He was killed by the second prince!" Everyone in the venue was stunned. They could not have imagined that the eldest prince who was holding a wedding one moment would die directly the next moment.
The eldest prince fell to the ground with a long sword stuck in his chest. He weakly raised his hand and pointed at Jagger, his eyes full of disbelief and unwillingness.
King Culver reacted and swayed, his eyes blood red.
After a moment of slowing down, he swooped in front of the eldest prince.
Unfortunately, Jagger's sword was not merciful at all, it was stabbed directly into the chest, so at this moment, the eyes of the eldest prince in King Culver's arms gradually dimmed.
"Byron...Byron..." King Culver finally swept away his previous kingly aura, revealing sadness and anxiety.
But after just a few breaths, the eldest prince tilted his neck and finally breathed his last breath.
"Jagger, you rebellious son, he is your brother, and you actually killed him!"
"I'm sorry, father, if you want to ascend the throne, this good-for-nothing brother must not be allowed to stay. Also, don't worry, after I inherit the throne, I will work hard to reproduce the descendants and ensure that the blood of the Agate family continues to flow!" The second prince did not give a second thought.
It was as if he was killing a stranger.
"Jagger, you, a rebellious son, want me to pass on the throne. Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will not pass the throne to you. I will make you, a rebellious son, bear the reputation of killing your father and seizing the throne for the rest of your life."
!" King Culver gritted his teeth and looked at the second prince with a cold look in his eyes.
"Haha! Father, what you said here doesn't count!" The second prince chuckled, and then ordered to Deputy Commander Raf, "Raff, control my father first!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Immediately, Raf, the deputy commander at the peak of Silver, personally took control of the unvindictive king and locked his hands and feet.
After Rafe finished, the second prince no longer paid attention to his own father, but looked at the count.
"Earls, I believe you are all aware of this matter tonight!"
"My father said he is unwilling to pass the throne to me, but what about you? Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
Seeing the second prince's evil smile, the six earls suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
Naturally, they were not happy to betray King Culver.
This is not only because of loyalty, but also because the second prince Jagger's methods are so ruthless that he can kill even his own brother at will.
Who dares to be loyal to such a cruel and ruthless monarch?
However, precisely because of his tyranny, this made the earls who had lost their fighting spirit to rely on him somewhat wary of taking advantage of him.
Now, not only himself and others are present in this event, but his heir is also present.
For a moment, the hall was eerily quiet!
"Earls, I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. If you can't give me an answer after ten minutes, it's not my fault!" As he said that, the second prince glanced at the heirs of the earls one by one.
…
"Where are you taking me? Didn't you say that my subordinates are at the gate of the palace?"
"Sir Narant, we will be here soon, don't be anxious!"
At this moment, Narant did not know what was happening in the palace.
At first, when he followed the manservant out, he didn't pay much attention.
After all, this is a royal palace, which is heavily guarded, and if a male servant on the other side can name Vivian, it must be true.
But after leaving the palace, the male servant who led the way did not stop immediately, and Vivian's figure did not appear, so he became a little confused.
However, thinking that the area was heavily guarded by Iron Guard knights, Vivian might not be able to get close, so she continued walking for a while.
But when the manservant led him into a dark alley, Nalant's expression darkened.
Even if Vivian couldn't get close to the palace and had to wait for her in the distance, she would definitely not choose such a dim path.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this male servant has ulterior motives.
"Really?" Nalant stopped immediately and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
It is the most basic right for nobles to wear swords, so even a banquet hosted by the king will not be an exception.
The manservant in front noticed Nalant's movement, immediately rubbed oil on his soles and ran towards the front.
Nalant did not pursue, but began to retreat slowly, while carefully sensing the movement behind the trees on both sides.
Wow! Wow!
However, the next moment he stopped, because there were rustling branches and leaves swaying in front of him and behind him at the same time, and he saw four masked title knights appearing at both ends of the trail.
"You really think highly of me, who sent you here?" Nalant knew that he was being plotted against.
Faced with his inquiry, the four masked title knights did not answer. Instead, they drew their long swords and slowly moved towards him.
Nalant also drew out his long sword, made a defensive posture, and then continued to ask: "Is it the second prince?"
The four people didn't answer and were already approaching.
"So, the remaining one is the eldest prince?" Nalant's eyes turned cold.
"Kill it! Move faster!" The four of them also did not answer, but one of them urged, and then the four of them also accelerated.
"If you want to kill me, then do it!" Nalant snorted coldly. Although he didn't get an answer, I'm afraid these are the only two who can send four mid-level knights to kill him.
As for why it is not the king, because Nalant feels that if the king takes action, it will not only be a silver intermediate knight, but there must be a higher realm of title knights involved.
Fortunately, although the current situation is critical, the risk to life should not be great.
Even if he can't defeat one against four, he can definitely escape with his agility.
However, Nalant did not do this immediately, because he wanted to deal with one or two first, otherwise he would just run away, which would be too embarrassing for him as a master.
While Nalant was thinking, four people were already approaching Nalant from both ends to surround him.
When both sides were about to approach him and raised the long sword with the cold light shining, Nalant finally moved.
His fighting spirit burst out, and he immediately rushed forward with a sharp shout.
"Death!" With the agility fruit-enhanced system, Nalant's speed was three points faster than that of an ordinary silver mid-level knight.
When the two silver mid-level knights in front saw Nalant rushing towards them, they felt happy at first, feeling that this great achievement might fall on them.
But this thought of joy only passed by for a moment, and the next moment he saw Nalant's figure, like a dot, crossing a distance of three meters and coming to the two of them in an instant.
As the sound of the word "death" came, one of the title knights felt a flash of cold light in front of him, and then felt a cold feeling on his neck.
The silver knight raised his hand and touched his neck in disbelief, and his hand immediately felt moist and smooth.
Then under the bright moonlight, he saw that the smooth feeling was actually bright red blood.
Boom!
Then there was a muffled sound, and the silver mid-level knight's body went limp and fell to the ground without making a sound.
