In the woods, in the temporary resting place that was swept out. At this moment, the atmosphere of sword drawing its bow is lingering.

The reason is that Prince Henry and his wife, who should have been protected by the White Rose Knights Squad, were now placed on their necks by two knights in the Squad.

"Rajs, Litt, what are you two doing?"

There were fourteen other knights in the open space. At this moment, they were looking at the two companions who had kidnapped the prince and the princess with surprise and anger, and questioned them sternly.

"Sorry." But the two knights, known as Rajs and Litt, just shook their heads slightly and apologized to them with a wry smile: "We have nothing to do."

"Are you... going to betray me?" Prince Henry asked, feeling the cold sharpness from the sword blade on his neck, his whole body was stiff and his face turned pale.

"Your Highness, I can only express my regret for this. We have no intention of harming your life and the princess, so for your own safety, please try your best to cooperate."

Rajs, who stood behind Prince Henry's back, locked his neck firmly with a blade and an arm, sighed and persuaded with a bit of threat.

Litt, who was standing beside him, also shook his sword blade and said to the princess with his back to him with fear in front of him: "Princess, please don't move around, otherwise if you hurt the child in your belly

That's not good."

"Rajs, Litt!!"

The White Rose Knights looked at the behavior of the two, their eyes were bursting: "You actually threaten the lord they are loyal to. Can you still be considered a knight if you do this?! The leader still trusts you so much!!"

When Rajs and Litt heard this, their faces showed a strong helplessness and a hint of shame.

However, they grabbed Prince Henry and Princess' hands and the blade held in the other hand, but did not show any tremor, making the other White Rose Knights unable to act rashly.

Seeing this, a White Rose Knight suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "The leader's vision will not make any mistakes. We are all comrades who have been with each other for decades. Everyone knows the character of you two.

Why did this happen?”

Rajs and Litt were silent for a while before sighing, saying, "That's all for the sake of allowing the family to survive."

We have been very familiar with each other for decades, so looking at the expressions on Rajs and Litt's faces at the moment, combined with what they said at the moment, the other White Rose Knights understood a lot.

These two comrades-in-arms were actually involuntarily. When they were threatened, they probably had important relatives and family members who fell into the hands of the enemy and were threatened by the enemy. For the sake of their family's safety, they chose to become traitors.

Most of the members of the White Rose Knights are from orphans, with a clean family and helplessness since childhood. The biggest bond is the comrades in the group. Such White Rose Knights are usually very

It is difficult for the enemy to catch the handle and threaten it.

But that's only for the younger generation of knights.

Many middle-aged and veteran knights like Rajs and Litt, who are over forty years old, have married others and formed families. Therefore, in addition to the White Rose Knights, they

There is also a ties with the 'family'.

And this gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although he guessed that Rajs and Lit had their own difficulties, the other White Rose Knights could not forgive them.

"Rajs, Litt, have you forgotten it? As early as the day we entered the Knights, we made an oath that we must be loyal to our hearts no matter what happens, and we must not let down Bai Qiangwei

The glory! But look at what you all did now?!"

The White Rose Knights held the weapons in their hands tightly and asked the two betrayers angrily: "Are you worthy of calling yourself a knight like this?"

"Hu..." Faced with the accusations of everyone, Rajs and Lit breathed a deep breath, and did not defend themselves. After looking at the blade in their hands, their eyes gradually became extremely impressive

It's cold, as if the heart has lost all its warmth.

Now, no matter what the former comrades said, the two will no longer be shaken. Now the only White Rose Knights here are Rajs and Lit who have formed families and their relatives are still alive.

Others either have been single and unmarried, or have long lost their wives and children due to war, disaster and accident.

Therefore, for the enemy, they basically have no flaws and weaknesses, which is completely different from those of Rajs and Litt. Therefore, the two of them did not expect to get the understanding of these former comrades.

Only after experiencing it personally can we know what kind of pain they have suffered, and we will not hesitate to carry the infamous choice to betray our oath.

Rajs still cannot forget how much he felt when he saw his young daughter's slender arm with a unique birthmark being cut down by the enemy and put it in a small box and secretly delivered it to him.

anger.

Little could not forget that when he saw his most cherished wife's beautiful blue eyes, which were dug out and put in a glass bottle, appeared on him with the earrings he gave to his wife for his birthday gift.

In front of him, the despair in his heart.

Even when they recalled these things, the two still felt extremely painful in their hearts, as if they were about to suffocate.

Compared with these pains, they were just criticized by their comrades. How can they shake their hearts that have been completely frozen by despair?

It seemed that he also saw the determination and indifference in Rajs and Lit's eyes. The other White Rose Knights stopped accusing, and understood that it was impossible to change their minds by just relying on words. They held the sword in their hands tightly and used the

He began to stare at the two of them with murderous intent.

However, they only surrounded the two of them and did not dare to act rashly.

There is no way. As old comrades who have fought side by side for decades, the White Rose Knights are very clear about the strength of Rajs and Lit. Although they are not considered top-notch players, the two have been training for decades and countless

The combat experience was not in vain.

Even though the number of people had an absolute advantage, the White Rose Knights were not sure at this moment that they could rescue Prince Henry and Princess from the two of them safely under such circumstances.

"Everyone retreat!" Suddenly, Rajs shouted at the surrounding knights expressionlessly.

The White Rose Knights hesitated for a second or two before they saw a sharp look on Rajs' face. They used a little force on their hands, and the sharp blade pushed Prince Henry's neck out.

Some of the skin was cut directly, causing a bright red blood to overflow.

"No! Stop it!!"

Feeling the pain coming from his neck, Prince Henry immediately shrank in pain, his face turned pale from ashen, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhn's scream was forcibly interrupted, and the vocal cords came to an abrupt end as if they were cut off.

Because, Rajs used his hand that bound Prince Henry's action to suddenly hold Prince Henry's throat and interrupted his scream very roughly.

"Your Highness, if you don't want to be treated rudely again, can you please be quiet?"

After persuading so coldly, Rajs let go of his fingers that were buckled against Prince Henry's throat like an iron hoop.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

As soon as his throat was liberated, Prince Henry coughed violently with a pale face and blue face. Even because he didn't control his movements, he accidentally rubbed his neck with Rajs' blade several times.

Rajs turned a blind eye to this and did not remove the blade because of Prince Henry's instinctive behavior. He let out a few more blood marks on Prince Henry's neck.

This scene made the White Rose Knights around him both disappointed and nervous. They were disappointed that Rajs did not release the blade, so they did not give them a chance to rescue him, and they were nervous about Prince Henry's safety.

Fortunately, Prince Henry soon felt the pain added to his neck. Under the instinctive trend of survival, he immediately tried his best to calm down his breathing and did not dare to move any more.

The princess on the side saw her husband's neck, which was almost stained with blood, and felt the cold gaze from behind her. She immediately frightened her face as pale as paper, and her body was even stiff and not at all.

If you dare to move, you will never dare to have any thoughts.

Prince Henry and Princess have realized that these two betrayed knights have completely lost their loyalty to their former lords, but have become extremely cold-blooded and cruel. No matter how many small moves they have, they will only give them to themselves.

Just induce danger.

Well, that's right, Prince Henry's seemingly subconscious trembling reaction when he coughed just now was actually doing it on purpose.

As the heir to the throne selected by the king of Country A from many sons, Prince Henry is not an ignorant waste. In terms of wit and courage, he actually has certain advantages.

Use the key points of his neck to test Rajs' sword, and try to see if Rajs will subconsciously relax his control over him because he is concerned about his life, thus creating a chance to rescue the knights around him who are still loyal to him.

This is a way out of danger that Prince Henry came up with a sudden inspiration.

Unfortunately, the development of things did not proceed as Prince Henry expected.

Even though Prince Henry deliberately cut the skin on his neck with the help of Rajs' sword, he almost cut his neck and carotid artery directly, Rajs behind him was still completely unmoved.

This almost caused Prince Henry's heart to fall into complete despair.

Because, this not only proves that Rajs will hardly be shaken, but also shows that one thing- Rajs, or the mastermind behind the coercion of Rajs to betray him, actually doesn't mind Prince Henry's final word.

Whether it is dead or alive.

Prince Henry originally thought that the messenger behind the scenes asked Rajs to capture him alive and wanted to use his identity to achieve certain goals; but now it seems that even if Rajs killed him on the spot, there might not be much problem!

This is really bad news for Prince Henry.

As for what Rajs said at the beginning, "I don't want to harm his life." This kind of scene is just a matter of listening.

The White Rose Knights around seemed to realize the danger of Prince Henry's situation and were even more afraid to act rashly.

"I said, back up! Didn't you hear it?"

Seeing this, Rajs suddenly shouted again, and at the same time, the hand holding the sword blade began to shake slightly, as if he could cut another knife on Prince Henry's poor neck at any time.

Seeing this, the other White Rose Knights were helpless and could only retreat, leaving enough distance for Rajs and Litt.

If possible, Rajs and Litt didn't want to really kill Prince Henry and Princess.

The living Prince Henry represents a greater interest than the dead body.

Although Country B did break through the kings of Country A, basically declared the destruction of Country A, it was only nominal. For this world, the destruction of a country's royal family does not mean this

The country is completely finished.

The ruling system of the countries in this trial mission in the world is somewhat similar to that of the ancient Greek city-states. The king stood at the top and was the only supreme ruler in the name of the country, but the city-states under it also had it.

The only difference between their respective lords is that these lords are so loyal to the royal family, just like the Grand Duke on the Border, it is not too rare.

Therefore, Country B captured the capital of Country A, which was to defeat the most important city of Country A. However, there were actually many city-state lords in A who had not been conquered by them.
