Leonid's mansion in Kislev is tall and majestic. The walls are made of black rock and are tall and strong. The tops are inlaid with spikes to prevent thieves from sneaking in. Within the walls are rows of houses, trees, and gardens.
.In the center of the garden, there is also a fountain that does not freeze all year round.
From the appearance alone, this looks like a fortress in the city. The only difference from a real castle is that this mansion has no guards. There are only a few personal bodyguards to ensure the daily safety of the nobles. Since Dennis implemented the New Deal, almost the entire city has
The nobles all lost their armed forces. Even great nobles like Leonid were not immune. Fortunately, the security in the city was relatively stable. Vladimir and his son took over the security patrol of Kislev, and small cases occasionally occurred.
happened, large-scale bloodshed never happened.
"Nikita, are you ready? We have to go."
"Are you leaving tonight?"
"Yes, leave tonight. Kislev is no longer safe, you know, for us."
"But, I want to see her again."
In the gloomy room, the conversation between father Leonid and son Nikita was as soft as a mouse's whisper. They decided to leave, stay away from the capital, and return to their own territory to be safe. Many things needed to be considered in the long term. However,
The son seemed to still have something on his mind. Nikita was still a little hesitant at the urging of her father. Although she could not forgive or let go, people who once loved each other did not just let go. Yes, she still wanted to see Vera again.
Nell. At least, they are still a couple in name only.
"Hey, okay, go and come back quickly. I'll wait for you here. The carriage is ready. Don't linger, now that you've decided."
Father whispered.
With the last of her tenderness, Nikita walked out of the room and was about to walk towards the door when she suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Sir, Guard Krem!"
The housekeeper shouted from upstairs. Nikita instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a loud knock on the door.
"Open the gate!"
Outside the door, there was Captain Kram's thunderous roar.
"Go, quickly! From the back door!"
The father stumbled out of the room, shouting for his son to get in the car. But it was too late. Outside the door, the Royal Guards Krem Guards saw that the door of the mansion was closed and immediately forced it open.
Behind the dusty sky, there was a group of heavily armed Krem guards. Although there were only about twenty of them, they scared everyone in the mansion so much that they did not dare to move. As soon as the carriage was about to leave, Captain Krem grabbed him with one hand, "
Take them all!" The captain shouted, and the twenty or so Krem guards split up and moved separately. The armor on their bodies rubbed against each other, making a harsh trembling sound. The giant ax on their back reflected the dazzling silver light under the moonlight.
"You have no right to do this! This is my private home! My private property!"
Leonid remained calm in the face of danger and yelled at the Krem guards who broke in. However, it was obviously to no avail. The Krem Guards who were loyal to the Tsar never acted easily, and once they acted, there must be results.
"This is an order from the Tsar, Leonid, and you are arrested on suspicion of treason."
Captain Krem's deep voice was cold and resolute. There was no room for excuse or rebuttal at all. Leonid knew that he had been attacked first. However, he thought that the Tsar would take action, but he did not expect that he would take such rough measures.
The method is just like a brainless beast.
"Bloody mouth!"
Despite this, Leonid remained unyielding. But it was of no avail. The Krem Guards only carried out the Tsar's orders. As for any laws or favors, they completely ignored them.
In the cold night, the sound of the royal prison car driving through the streets was particularly loud. Some curious civilians stretched out their heads to look at the street. When they saw the heavily armored Krem Custodians, they retracted their heads in fear.
…
When Leonid and his son Nikita were taken off the prison car, the Bandaga Palace was still brightly lit. Obviously, Tsar Pavel had been waiting for them.
Passing through the long and empty corridor, the great nobleman Leonid knelt in front of the Tsar in ragged clothes. Of course, he did not kneel down intentionally, but was roughly pushed to the ground by the Krem guard.
Even though he was treated so roughly, Leonid still stood up without being humble or condescending, "May I ask, Your Majesty the Tsar, what crime am I guilty of?"
"Treason."
Pavel rebuked loudly, but his voice was trembling.
"Treason? When have I committed the crime of treason? Did I collude with foreign forces to destabilize Kislev? Or did I sell Kislev's resources to foreign forces?"
Leonid glared at Tsar Pavel. At this point, there was no need to show mercy to him. He could even stop treating him as Tsar.
"No, you have neither. Your crime is your disloyalty to the Tsar."
Pavel then read loudly. Earl Lyford looked at this scene coldly. He had originally planned this, and he was very proud of the arrest. Since Queen Denis does not favor him, she should seek refuge with others.
.
Tsar Pavel is just such a candidate. The count has already thought that after this incident, he can get promotion, more benefits, more land and resources.
"When did I betray you? Your Majesty?"
Leonid asked, his voice gradually getting louder.
"You know when you betrayed me. I have collected enough evidence..."
"This is a false accusation!"
Son Nikita roared loudly.
"Whatever you say, the irrefutable evidence is here. Your sophistry will only expose your hypocrisy and cunning. Betrayal is betrayal, this is the fact, this is the truth!"
Pavel continued. Leonid noticed that the king was trembling when he spoke, yes, trembling unconsciously. No matter how hard he pretended to be calm, the panic in his heart was still inevitably revealed. Leonid just started from
I despise in my heart - how did such a person become the king? But it doesn't matter anymore. I have indeed fallen into the hands of this person. It is unprecedented. He fabricated perjury and forcibly punished people. Pavel is so bold and ridiculous. Is he
Don't you know the consequences of doing this?
"Whether you admit it or not, I have decided that you must pay for your crime."
Pavel sat on the throne inlaid with gems and said loudly——
"You and your son will be exiled and will not be allowed to set foot in Kislev again in this life. Go to the distant Stone Hammer City to accept hard labor. This is my last mercy. I will not lock you in Kislev."
Rotting in a dungeon and waiting to die.”
"Damn beast!"
As soon as Pavel finished speaking, Nikita yelled angrily, and he almost fell into a state of madness. But the next second, a heavy iron rod hit him hard from the back of his head, and Nikita could only feel that he was in front of his eyes.
As soon as it darkened, he fell straight to the floor of the palace hall and fainted. The Krem guards grabbed him like a chicken and dragged him out of the hall.
