At night, when Boris was dragged out of the room, he didn't even understand what was happening. In order to prevent him from escaping, the Krem guards surrounded him, and two strong heavy axes
One hand on each side, holding Boris's shoulder, making him unable to move.
"What happened? My son was treated like this by you? He is the captain of the Kislev city defense army. Why did you arrest him?"
In the cold night, Vladimir stood in front of a group of tall and powerful Krem's Imperial Guards, looking coldly at him. He was not as hysterical as Leonid was when he was arrested. Anyway, he looked very calm and righteous. Krem
The imperial army did not dare to do anything to him, because the tsar's order was only to arrest Boris and not to take action against Vladimir. In fact, they could not do anything. Vladimir was the chief of the Kislev city defense army.
Once he is not in his position, the security and defense of the entire city will fall into chaos. Furthermore, stealing the queen was only done by his son Boris and had nothing to do with him.
"Your Excellency Vladimir, please get out of the way. We are acting under orders. The Tsar has an order. Boris has been arrested on suspicion of treason."
"Treason again? The king arrests this person today and that person tomorrow? Didn't he see that the nobles in the city are full of resentment?"
Vladimir said coldly.
Captain Krem did not answer him, and indeed could not answer him. Although he knew that what Vladimir said was the truth, as a soldier, he could only obey and execute the Tsar's orders.
"Father...save me..."
Boris was wearing pajamas and shouting loudly. The pajamas were not torn during the dragging process. From a distance, it looked like a down-and-out tramp being dragged away by soldiers. Vladimir could only watch his son.
Being taken away, he knew that this matter must not be simple. Leonid's incident has caused the whole city's nobles to be in an uproar. No matter how stupid Pavel is, he will not immediately arrest another noble for no reason. Vladimir instinctively
There is some guessing that his son Boris must have offended the Tsar's most sensitive nerve, which is why Pavel continued to arrest people in this limelight.
…
The news of Boris's arrest reached the ears of Queen Denis that night. In the dark and cold room, Denis sat alone on a stone chair, her eyes dim. She guessed that it must be Samuel's mad dog, who jumped over the wall to attack
Tsar Pavel reported his affair with Boris.
After all, paper cannot cover the fire... The cold moonlight spilled into the house through the small window, illuminating Dennis's face pale. It was all her own fault. She knew that now, even she couldn't save Boris.
Pavel is the angriest now, and he will torture Boris at all costs.
Dennis could only pray to the gods to make Boris feel better and not let him suffer any inhuman torture and abuse. But which god should she pray to? This was originally her fault. No god would hear this.
of prayer.
"Queen... I know I shouldn't come to you, but now I have no other choice but you. Boris..."
"I see."
Denis interrupted Vladimir's plea with a tired and weak voice.
"I am sending people to find out more about Boris. But it is probably impossible to release him tonight. Pavel is the tsar after all, and the Krem garrison will obey his orders and will be under strict supervision tonight.
.”
Dennis pretended to be calm, but his tired face and erratic eyes still made Vladimir notice that something was wrong. The abnormality of the tsar's queen surprised Vladimir.
Maybe this is not an accident... Vladimir thought.
…
ah……
In the tall and empty Bandaga Palace, the half-naked Boris was being trampled and ravaged by a group of Krem guards. Boris' miserable screams echoed in the empty hall.
"I did not commit rebellion! Nor did I commit treason!"
Boris, who was beaten with teeth all over the floor, screamed miserably. However, what greeted him was an even more brutal beating from the Krem guards.
"Yes, you did not commit rebellion or treason, but you committed a crime more serious than treason - you betrayed your king and your oath!"
A strange figure appeared next to King Pavel. Boris raised his head and tried to see clearly who the person was, but his eyes were blurred by blood, and his vision was full of bright red.
"I did not betray the king!"
Boris growled.
"Really? Doesn't sleeping with the queen count?"
That sound sounded like a death knell.
After hearing these words, Boris gave up struggling completely. He immediately understood and understood the real reason why he was arrested tonight. The Krem guard on the side raised his big foot and kicked Boris in the waist.
Boris forced himself to remain silent. He must take responsibility for his past actions, and this is the price.
During the punches and kicks, Boris prayed and repented. Blood flowed down his brow bone into his eye sockets, making him almost unable to open his eyes. But the scenes with the queen in the past replayed in his mind. Boris knew that after tonight,
He will never see Dennis again. It's not that he doesn't love her. He said he wanted to leave before, but it was actually against his will. It was to protect them. But now it seems that he can't protect anyone.
My love, I'm sorry...
My father, I'm sorry...
Boris's heart screamed and struggled. He was frustrated and painful at his own incompetence. Compared with the physical pain, the emotional pain made him miserable.
Dennis, I'm sorry...it was my cowardice and selfish desires that hurt you...
Father, I'm sorry, I have brought shame on the family... I can never face you again in this life...
Boris repented in his heart.
Finally, the exhausted Krem guards dragged the wounded Boris from the ground and threw him in front of Tsar Pavel.
"You are so brave, even the queen dares to touch you."
Pavel stretched out his noble hands, pinched Boris's deformed bloody face, and said——
"Convicting you of treason would be a mercy."
"You have to pay a price for your despicable behavior. Let me think about what kind of price is more appropriate."
Pavel scratched his chin with interest like a winner.
"Put you into a dungeon?"
"No, it's not interesting. You've already gone in once, there's no point in going in again."
"Then, let's go to the north. Let's become a watcher of the Great Wall. What do they say about their oath? Not to marry, not to have children, and to devote the rest of their lives to watching? It's just right for you. Hmm, okay, that's how happy it is.
Decided."
Stepping on Boris's swollen and red fingers, Pavel said with a sly smile.
