Chapter 43 The Palace's Top Guards

In the early morning, the cool breeze outside blew the windows, making a moderate noise. But the sound was enough to wake Werther up.

"Well, I feel that my body has recovered a little better." Werther stretched, got up from the bed, and said to himself, "I remember explaining it clearly to Wile and the others after I came back in the middle of the night. Wile shouldn't be able to do it for a while.

He came here in a panic asking questions."

At this time, the parchment scroll gave a hint: If Si Shan continues to stay in Dawn Town, it will cause you a lot of trouble. Drive Si Shan and his attendants out of Dawn Town as soon as possible.

Werther thought to himself that what the parchment said made sense. Si Shan would definitely continue to think of ways to frame him if he stayed here. It would be better to let him go back to the palace. But in what way. Werther couldn't think of it for a while, so he thought

It's better to go downstairs first. He quickly got dressed and was about to walk out of the bedroom when he opened the door and bumped into Wile.

"Wyle, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Werther asked curiously.

"Your Highness, it's not good, someone is coming from the palace." Witte looked very panicked, "Go and have a look."

"Who is coming?"

"Part of the royal family's top bodyguards."

"Are they the most powerful guards in the palace?"

"Yes, each one can fight better than the other, and the momentum is stronger."

"Did they say anything?" Werther also felt a little nervous at this time.

"They said that the palace received an anonymous letter a few days ago, saying that you would kill Wright last night, so the king asked these guards to come to check the situation. The guards brought the king's oral instructions, saying that if Wright was really dead

I will take you back for interrogation."

After hearing this, the corners of Werther's mouth slightly raised. It must have been a letter that Si Shan had sent to the palace in advance. According to Si Shan's original plan, they killed Wright in the dungeon and then framed the incident on Werther. By daylight, the palace's

The guards came to Daybreak Town to arrest Werther without wasting any time and leaving no room for change for Werther.

But Si Shan's plan failed. He had made so many calculations, but he didn't expect that the Black Shadow Knight would tip off Werther, let alone that Werther could guess his plan and that Werther could do magic.

"Your Highness, now that Wright is still alive, no one will believe the letter that framed you for killing Wright, right?"

"Since Wright is fine, the contents of the letter are self-evident. The guards will not take me away after knowing the truth." Werther smiled, "But out of politeness, I still have to go see them.

.”

Werther and Wile went downstairs and immediately saw two rows of palace guards standing neatly in the hall. They counted and found that eighteen people had arrived.

"How many top guards are there in the palace?" Werther quietly asked Wile.

"There are twenty-five top bodyguards, all of whom are from noble families. Your Highness, have you even forgotten these?" Wile replied in a low voice.

"No, there were only twenty-five people in the first place, but they sent eighteen to catch me! How much my father hates me!" Werther lowered his voice very low.

"Actually, there were twenty of them here at the beginning, but two of them have gone somewhere."

"My father's fear of me has not diminished."

"Your Highness, stop saying these things, be careful not to be overheard."

When Werther arrived in front of the top guards, he made a very serious expression: "You came to my castle so early."

The commander of the guards standing at the front had a very decent expression, showing respect for the lord Werther and a sense of justice. He saluted respectfully to Werther and said: "Your Highness, your personal servant must have told you just now.

About the purpose of our coming to Daybreak Town."

Vittor nodded: "Yes, you just want to see if I killed Wright, right?"

The guard commander said without changing his expression: "Yes, Your Highness, I have

Two guards were sent to the dungeon to check."

"That's it." Werther's eyes became more serious, "You went to the dungeon without notifying me. This is my fiefdom."

"I'm afraid your Highness hasn't figured it out yet. In the Kingdom of Notland, if an emergency occurs, the king has the power to intervene in the dungeons of each fiefdom. We are here in accordance with the king's will, so we are going to the dungeon on behalf of the king.

Check."

"Well, I understand." Vittor nodded. Anyway, he is not afraid now. Even if the king is afraid of him again, he will not frame him personally. The guards who go to the dungeon will make him innocent.

At this time, Tom walked up to Werther and whispered: "Your Highness, you should let me pour coffee or black tea for the commander of the guards."

Victor nodded, and then said to Tom in a normal voice: "Uncle Tom, pour this gentleman a cup of black tea."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Tom quickly brought over two cups of fragrant black tea.

Witte smiled at the commander of the guards and said, "Please sit down."

The leader of the guards gave a brief salute, then sat down and put his nose in front of the teacup. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a calm expression.

The subtle changes in his eyes were easily captured by Werther.

Werther smiled, looked at him and said, "Sir, is there anything wrong with the black tea in my castle?"

The commander of the guards also smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong, but I want to know, is this black tea issued by the palace?"

"Yes, I think the black tea distributed by the palace is delicious."

"But..." The guard commander was holding the tea cup and looking at the dark tea inside casually, as if he was a little embarrassed.

This hesitant look made Werther feel strange. Werther could not help but suspect that the drinks given to him in the castle were of inferior quality and could not catch the eye of the commander of the guards. The commander of the guards actually disliked the tea because it didn't taste good enough.

"Haha~" the guard commander added, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I see that His Highness has a strong aura, a kind face, and courageous actions. He is definitely not a thing in the pool. I think he will be reused by the king one day."

Werther couldn't see what the guard commander's attitude was towards him. If he really admired him as he appeared, how could he say such things? After all, everyone in the palace knew that the king was afraid of him and it was impossible to reuse him.

"Sir, I don't have such big ideas. As long as I can live a stable life in Daybreak Town, it's enough." Witte knew that what he just said was the answer to saving his life.

"Sir, are you sure you don't want to drink this black tea?" Werther asked, pointing to the tea cup.

"This..." The guard commander looked at the teacup but refused to drink.

"In that case, why don't I drink it for you? This cup is not big, and the tea will get cold quickly. Drinking such cold tea will make you feel even colder when winter is about to begin."

"Wait a minute, Your Highness, this is against the rules. How can I let Your Highness drink from something I touched with my hands?"

The commander of the guards wanted to stop him, but Werther had already drank all the tea. The commander of the guards looked stunned.

At this time, the two top guards who went to the dungeon to check came back and whispered a few words into the ears of the guard commander.

The commander of the guards immediately stood up and saluted Respectfully and said: "Your Highness, I'm really sorry. The two guards just told me that Wright was fine in the dungeon, and Your Highness had no intention of killing him. Facts have proved that everything that happened today was wrong.

It's just a misunderstanding. We know you won't kill Wright, and the letter sent to the castle should be a false accusation against you."

"Well, it doesn't matter~" Werther waved his hand and said, "As long as you can clear my name."

"We will try our best to find out who is framed against His Highness."

"No need to check."

"Why?"

"There is no need to trouble the palace to send out people to investigate this kind of thing. I will protect myself and not cause trouble to my father."

"On behalf of the king, I thank His Highness for your consideration."

"You're welcome." Werther breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned his back on the back of the seat.

"Our trip to Dawn Town delayed us for a few days and caused trouble to His Highness. It was really a useless operation." The commander of the guards continued, "Oh, Mr. Sishan has been on leave these days, and the food the king eats is not as good as

In the past, the king was unhappy because of this, and after we go back this time, I am afraid that the king will be even more angry."

When Werther heard this, he suddenly rolled his eyes and thought about it.

"Sir, do you know that Si Shan is in Dawn Town?"

"What, where is he?"

"Mrs. Agnes's house is the old knight commander's house in Daybreak Town. I can ask Wile to take you there to find the chef. In this way, you can bring the chef back to the palace to claim credit. Father is happy, and so are you.

No need to be scolded."

"Thank you for the information, Your Highness. Without further ado, please ask Mr. Wile to take us there now."

Wile took these top guards to Mrs. Alice's home. In order to make time, they rode there.

In just a short while, these top knights brought out Si Shan and his attendants, and were about to go to the royal palace in Fran City. When they passed the castle, Werther smiled and waved to Si Shan.

Si Shan looked at Werther with hatred in his eyes. He originally wanted to stay in Daybreak Town to find a way to deal with Werther, but this time he shot himself in the foot. He wanted the top guards to catch Werther, but he didn't expect to be killed.

It was myself who was brought back to the palace.

Witte said loudly to Si Shan: "Be careful along the way, Sir Si Shan. Don't forget to cook more delicious food for my father when you return to the palace!"

"Humph!" Si Shan became even more angry.

At this time, Margaery suddenly ran out of the castle and shouted desperately: "Father!"

With the permission of the commander of the guards, Si Shan went to the castle gate to talk to Margaery.

"Father." Margaery bit her lip, "I heard about what happened last night. Are they going to punish you?"

"They didn't know that I planned to frame the eldest prince, so they wouldn't do anything to me. It's just that the king missed my cooking skills, and my vacation was about to end, so they took me back to the palace to continue cooking for the king.

"

"That's good. But father, why are you going against Brother Werther like this? You see, Brother Werter didn't even tell those top guards about the bad things you did. He is so tolerant and generous."

"Daughter, you were deceived by Werther's hypocritical appearance. The reason why he didn't report me was because reporting me would bring him trouble."

"But you can't keep targeting brother Werther like this!"

"This is a matter of the Dark family, you can't object." Si Shan looked at Margery angrily and said, "Don't stay in the castle any longer, come back to Frank City with me, and hurry up and pack your luggage.

Also, let’s take York with us.”

"I'm not going back!" Margaery shouted, "I still have a lot of things to do in Daybreak Town!"

Si Shan looked at the stubborn Margery in surprise. He understood his daughter's temper and knew that he could not take her away this time, so he said: "Daughter, let me remind you for the last time that the eldest prince has a sworn relationship with our Duck family.

He will take advantage of you. This is the last chance I give you to be willful. Next time I see you, I will take you home no matter what you say."

"Then I will never let you see me again!" Margery's tone was very firm.

"You! You're so angry with me!" Si Shan returned to the palace with the guards angrily.

Werther looked at Margery sympathetically, but Margery rolled her eyes at him.
