Chapter 78 A corner
The Great Prince's Mansion.
Scattered lights lit up the darkness, Sasso held his hands behind his back and looked at the moon with his window. Tonight, many people in the capital were destined to sleepless. He was no exception.
He is waiting for someone, or rather, he is waiting for a news.
The long waiting is a kind of torture for the spirit, and being able to endure this torture means that this news is very important to him.
Silent sigh, sleepiness came.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly knocked.
"Enter."
The sudden disturbance in the middle of the night seemed like the best sobering potion that Sasso was instantly refreshed, because the person he was waiting for and the news he was waiting for finally came.
"Bedvin, what's the situation?"
Without nonsense, Sasso asked the most concerned questions straight to the point.
Bedwin came to Sasso with a heavy expression and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, according to the information I just obtained, the result of the matter is completely beyond anyone's imagination."
"Um?"
Bedwin served loyally by his side for many years, and Sasso knew his character very well. He would not have shown this way if it weren't for something that he valued enough.
“What the hell happened?”
After calming the disorder between breathing, Bedwin said, "Your Highness, everyone is dead."
"Die? Who is dead? Explain it clearly!"
Hearing Bedwen's brief words, Sasso frowned and said dissatisfied.
"The detained noble ministers of the Kingdom and the guards of the Kingdom who went to suppress them... they were all dead!"
When such shocking news came out of Bedvin's mouth, Sasso seemed to have not accepted the fact at all. After a brief shock, he looked at him in disbelief and said, "You said they were all dead? This is impossible!"
If all the nobles and ministers of the Kingdom died, it might be in his expectation, but it would be a fantasy to say that the Kingdom Guards would die.
He knew very well that the nearly invincible private guard under his father, as the father's most faithful sword shield, was they who steadily suppressed all the people who were ill-behaved, because everyone knew the power of this guard.
But Bedwin now told him that the guards of the Kingdom who went to suppress were dead, which shows that the father's most powerful pillar was not invincible. And the person who destroyed this pillar was likely to be his younger brother!
"Explain what exactly is going on!"
Sasso sat back on the chair at the table, closed his eyes, stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed his forehead, as if he was clearing his chaotic thoughts.
"A report from the secret spy from the academy, after His Majesty sent the Kingdom Guards 3rd Battalion to be suppressed, he successfully entered the academy. After a brief rest, he began to conduct a split operation. Most of the guards led by Safirlan, an adjutant of the Third Battalion of Guards, went to suppress the rioters, with the main purpose of attracting the main force of secret cooperation between the other party; the other part was led by the Third Battalion of Guards, Kinslom, to raid and rescue the hijacked noble ministers. Their plan was not wrong normally, but they did not expect that their real enemy had already planned everything and waited for them."
Bedwin paused for a moment and continued: "The guards led by Commander Kinslom were completely defeated in the raid to rescue the noble ministers. The guards were wiped out and he was trapped. The noble ministers were also retaliated and killed all of them. On the other hand, Adjutant Safirland successfully completed the suppression and captured the leader of the academy student Tilrant. On the way back, he was accidentally ambushed by the enemy in secret. As a result, except for Adjutant Safirland who escaped, the other guards were all killed in battle."
"How is it possible, how is it possible..." Sasso kept muttering, as if he still refused to believe this fact. "Now I just want to know one thing, why were those guards killed?"
He knew very well that the mastermind behind the dark people was his younger brother. If his younger brother had the power to defeat his father's guards, it would be easy to deal with him.
As people say, what you know best is not your friends and relatives, but your enemies.
And he and he are not only relatives, but even enemies. On this basis, he knows better what his younger brother will do under such an inflated force.
Since he could so fiercely remove his father and his supportive forces, what else can he do?
He had to be clear about what exactly allowed his brother to have the power to defeat the Kingdom Guards.
"Your Highness, don't worry too much about it." Bedwin felt Sasso's uneasy thoughts and comforted him: "This time, the fourth prince's subordinates were able to successfully ambush the Kingdom Guards because of their careful planning, but more importantly, they used rare and expensive scroll magic!"
"Scroll Magic?" Sasso asked solemnly.
He is familiar with scroll magic, especially advanced scroll magic, which has completely changed the direction of victory or defeat in a small war, but there are very few advanced scroll magic that have been passed down in the world, and even the collections within the royal family are extremely scarce.
The few advanced scroll magic he obtained by chance were also considered treasures to be hidden, and would only be used when it was related to the overall situation of life and death. He was also the top figure in the pyramid of power in the kingdom, and he believed that his younger brother must have it, but he did not expect that he would be willing to do so in order to cut off the strongest pillar of his father.
"As far as I know, this time the four princes used three advanced scroll magics, one used to imprison Commander Kinthlon, forcing Commander Kinthlon to do nothing during the raid and rescue process; one used to ambush the guards' team to retreat back, which resulted in the loss of most of the combat power and caused the guards to be destroyed; the last one was used on Adjutant Safirland, but unfortunately it still allowed Adjutant Safirland to escape."
After listening to Bedwin's narration, Sasso thoughtfully said: "That is to say, if there is no scroll magic, then Worans's men cannot compete with the Kingdom Guards in the front?"
"Yes." Bedwen affirmed in a tone. "And even if His Highness the Fourth Prince has subordinates who are in opposition to the Kingdom Guards, after tonight, His Majesty will definitely impose serious sanctions on His Highness the Fourth Prince for the Kingdom Guards' death. Then, unless..."
Sasso reached out to stop Bedvin from continuing his plan, and he knew what he wanted to say.
Unless his younger brother openly rebelled and launched a military coup!
Although there was no evidence of his death of the noble minister and the kingdom guards, such a bad influence, the father would never be lenient in his sanctions against him.
The father wanted to make an explanation to the dead noble family, and even more so for himself.
Perhaps even the father did not expect that Worance had such a great courage to openly challenge his authority, and even made him successful. If he did not punish him, it would be difficult for Worance to be his next step.
When he first discovered Worance's plan, Sasso was very strange because he didn't understand why his younger brother suddenly became stupid. Even if his plan was successful, the fierce backlash would be enough to make him lose the qualification to fight for the throne.
In his impression, he would not make such a low-level mistake.
