Chapter 539 Confrontation I
In the dark night, Aleander, wearing a cloak and lowering his hood, appeared in front of Prince Eddie's mansion.
"stop!"
Before he could get close in a real sense, he was stopped by a group of guards.
Since the riots broke out, the security of the entire capital of Gaosai has more than doubled, especially in the mansions of the royal family and nobles, there are more than a few secret posts and secret posts.
When Aleander entered this street, he found at least two hidden posts.
For such a situation, if he was still in the 'Brotherhood', Aleander would definitely give up immediately and look for a higher-level assassin to come.
However, now...
Aleander stood upright. Under the hood, the facial features shrouded in shadows were faintly visible under the light of the guard's torches.
"I want to see His Royal Highness Eddie!"
Aleander said so.
However, the head of the guards didn't buy it. The prince of a country can't see it just by saying it, so he was ready to shout immediately.
However, before the words reached his lips, a token appeared in Aleander's hand.
Tokens of the royal family!
To be more precise, it is the token of Princess Gao Sai!
The leader of the guards looked at the token, and he was taken aback. He didn't know why the person holding the token of Queen Gao Sai came to the Prince's mansion late at night.
After all, according to the current situation, the two sides are enemies rather than friends.
With such thoughts in his heart, the head of the guards did not neglect.
"Please wait!"
Said like this. The head of the guards ran towards the mansion.
No matter what the reason for the other party's appearance here, it is not something that a small leader like him can solve. Naturally, it must be handed over to those big shots!
After a while. A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper came out.
saluted Aleander,
After receiving the token and confirming that it was correct, he took Aleander into the prince's mansion.
In front of the study—
"His Royal Highness is inside!"
The middle-aged butler said this, and opened the door for Aleander, and closed the door after Aleander entered.
Aleander entered the room and looked around.
It was easy to notice several faint breaths.
On and off. It's hard to notice.
Aleander didn't care about this--Prince Eddie met a person holding the token of Queen Gause. It's a strange thing to do if you don't do some preparation.
Aleander looked at Prince Eddie standing in front of him, and took off his hood, revealing an ordinary face.
"His Royal Highness!"
Aleander saluted.
"You're holding Vivian's token... But. You're not around Vivian, are you?"
Prince Eddie didn't speak at the beginning, but looked at Aleander carefully for a long time, and after confirming in his mind that there was no such person beside Princess Gao Sai, he asked.
"Of course I'm not beside His Royal Highness... If there was, I wouldn't be here—I hope to make a deal with you!"
Aleander said with a respectful and humble smile.
Hearing Aleander's words, Prince Eddie immediately lost interest in the conversation. Originally he thought it was the subordinates of Princess Gaosai who came to join him, but now he confirmed that it was not. Immediately, Aleander became an irrelevant person in Prince Eddie's heart, especially what the other party said immediately after, made Prince Eddie quite angry.
because. This sentence seemed to remind him how bad his situation was.
However, Aleander's last words made Prince Eddie suppress his anger.
"What deal?"
Prince Eddie asked.
"A transaction that can ruin His Royal Highness Vivian's reputation——His Royal Highness Vivian has a relationship with the Divine Cult, you should know?"
Aleander deliberately lowered her voice.
"Do you have evidence?"
Prince Eddie frowned, regarding the fact that his niece had something to do with the divine religion. He knows it.
I also wanted to rely on this to regain the immediate disadvantage.
However, he has no conclusive evidence!
"Record crystal! A record crystal that records the relationship between His Royal Highness Vivienne and the God Cult...His Royal Highness Vivienne personally acknowledged it!"
Aleander laughed. he said.
"real?!"
Prince Eddie was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stepped forward excitedly, wanting to catch Aleander and ask him for clarification.
However, Aleander retreated without a trace, his arm easily got rid of Prince Eddie's palm, and then said sincerely: "Of course it is true, you see, my presence here is the greatest sincerity! "
"what do you want?"
Prince Eddie, who was excited when he suddenly heard the evidence of turning the disadvantage, is far inferior to the other prince Fendel, but as the prince of Gaosai, he still has the habit of some superiors - he easily got rid of himself in Aleander. When he touched his palm, he had already calmed down, but at this time, the whole person was even more calm. He looked at Aleander and asked directly.
"Equivalent to 10,000 Kimpton gems!"
Aleander spoke.
"Can!"
Prince Eddie frowned, agreed, and then asked, "Where's the record crystal?"
"You see, I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. How could I wear such a precious thing on my body? Of course, I am not saying that you will not keep your promise, but it is my principle to be cautious—tomorrow morning , the mouse bar in the civilian area, you let your people go with the gems, and I will send someone to hand over the record crystal to your people... It can only be one person, and there can only be one person around. If I find other people, I will cancel the deal!"
Aleander said with a smile.
"as you wish!"
Prince Eddie did not refuse.
In other words, he couldn't find a reason to refuse at all. Even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, he was faced with evidence to reverse the situation. He chose to be patient.
"Then, the people who are waiting for you at noon tomorrow will come!"
After saying this, Aleander turned and left Prince Eddie's mansion.
Did not return directly to the military port. Instead, he wandered around the entire Gaosai King's Capital for many times, and then disappeared into the civilian area——
"Lost it!"
A prince's guard stood frowning in the civilian area.
"Go back and report to Your Highness!"
Another prince's guard said.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the civilian area, and in the shadows, Dean watched this scene.
Aleander stood behind Dean, remaining respectful.
"The biggest fish took a bite... well done Aleander!"
Dean complimented softly.
"This is what I should do!"
Aleander replied respectfully.
Without arrogance or bowing, Aleander, who maintained a respectful posture, had a very calm face. Just like when I first met Dean.
Undoubtedly, in the heart of the other party. Everything he did was in exchange for his adult: Jiadis.
"You did what you should do, and I will do what I should do!"
Dean makes Aleander a promise.
For people like Aleander, Dean knew very well. How to use it.
However, he didn't intend to use Jiadis as a threat all the time to let the other party serve him, even if the other party performed very well and had good strength.
Of course, it wasn't Dean who gave sympathy to this assassin who had a similar experience.
Sympathy is the greatest luxury.
Dean doesn't have that qualification yet.
He just had a new plan, which can also be said to be the completion of the original plan, and appeared in Aleander. And after bringing some news, this plan can be fully implemented.
"Thank you for all you do!"
Aleander bowed and saluted, and quickly disappeared from the shadows.
His task is not yet complete. Must speed up.
After Aleander disappeared, Dean also quickly disappeared from the shadows. Just as Aleander had his own mission, Dean also had his own mission.
When Dean proposed some "damn people", the Queen of High Sai spent about two hours and gave Dean a list.
There are hundreds of names listed above.
And Dean selectively picked out some of them.
And these people all have one thing in common——
First. They all took part in the riot that night.
Second, they all have considerable strength. At least the Cavaliers started.
Third, they are all protected by nobles.
In fact, most of the remaining people on that list are those nobles.
However, for future plans, Dean temporarily let these nobles go!
Otherwise, these nobles are Dean's best targets——
Possessing family secrets, secrets, and sufficient resources, the strength of these nobles is not weak.
In other words, these nobles can provide Dean with considerable xp value.
It is far more than what Dean has chosen now.
But even the targets that Dean has chosen now are enough for Dean at this moment!
"Mashik?"
Dean murmured the name of the Privy Priest of the Cult in a low voice, and then when a gust of night wind blew, Dean disappeared into the shadows.
Only the quiet and unchanging shadow remained, and under the night, it became more and more profound and peaceful.
...
"Your Highness, the envoy of the Divine Cult will arrive at the military port at noon tomorrow!"
The chief guard of the Grand Duke who received the notification from Princess Gao Sai reported to Grand Duke Jade, and then, after hesitating for a moment, the chief guard said slowly under the gaze of Grand Duke Jade: "His Royal Highness Vivienne, I hope you can preside over justice!"
"It is incumbent!"
Grand Duke Jade replied.
"But, but, the relationship between our Jadeite and the Divine Cult is already very tense. If there is a conflict with the Divine Cult because of this incident..."
The head of the Grand Duke's bodyguard said worriedly.
Although reckless, this chief guard is definitely not stupid.
She is very clear about the current situation of Jadeite: the royal family is weak, the nobles are strong, and the divine religion intervenes in both ways. If the divine religion is completely turned against the divine religion, even if the royal family still has the support of Grand Duke Jade, it will definitely be difficult. After all, for their respective territories, It is entirely up to the nobles to have the final say.
Government decrees, taxes...
It's like pulling a hair and moving the whole body!
"Justice is like a scale, on which conscience and interests are placed... I hope I stand on the side of conscience!"
Grand Duke Jade said softly, while her palm was placed on her saber.
The name of that saber is: [Scale]!
