Release that Witch Chapter 54: “Bad news”

Petrov didn't expect to revisit it so soon.

He didn't want to leave the warm house in such a cold winter, especially when Evil Beast was raging. However, Duke Ryan named himself and handed this hot document/secretary to Fourth Prince.

Of course he knows the content of document/secretary -- In fact, the entire Greycastle's upper layer noble is discussing this amazing news: King of Greycastle fell due to a murder, and it was the eldest son of Gerald Wimbledon and King who murdered him. Then the second son rushed to Kingdom Capital and announced that the country cannot be ruleless for one day. He will take the throne as the second heir.

However, this behavior was not accepted by everyone. Some people claimed that the trial of Gerald was very strange. During the whole interrogation, he only showed up a few times, and he could not speak, and both hands was tightly bound. I hope to wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated before deciding on the throne.

There are also rumors that this is just a drama directed by the second son Timothy Wimbledon. The real killer is a Second Prince who can't wait to get to the throne, pretending to be sad.

No matter who is right or wrong in this debate, Second Prince, with the full support of Imperial Prime Minister, has temporarily seized the rights of the Greycastle supreme ruler as the King acting agent. At the same time, he issued a recall order to all competitors. -- is over. After receiving the decree, the princes princess should return to Kingdom Capital before the end of winter. The new King will officially seal the territories and titles under these six months of ruling situation.

Petrov can certainly see the urgency of this order.

Whether Timothy Wimbledon can settle on the throne depends on the response of other princes princess. If all obediently give up the fight for the king and return to Kingdom Capital, then he will naturally become the undisputed Wimbledon IV.

Sending to Border Town's document/secretary will be forwarded to Longsong Stronghold first, and Duke Ryan himself scoffs at this recall order. When King was alive, he still had a high degree of control over feudal lord. As for Second Prince, just by forcibly ascending the throne, it was extremely hard. In addition to the previous example of Gerald being sent to the guillotine, I am afraid that no one wants to return to Kingdom Capital alone.

But in the eyes of stronghold, this is a timely command.

More than two months ago, Count Elk's unauthorized planning actions made Duke very unpleasant, especially failed. The response from the prince was also very fierce, and he directly sentenced Hiller Dmitry to hang. If the next time, both sides could be regarded as tearing his face openly.

Originally Duke planned to wait until Months of Demons was over before resolving takes action to solve this trouble. Now with this official document, he can do it more legitimately. Roland Wimbledon returns to Kingdom Capital, Border Town is naturally owned by Duke Ryan. Without Kingdom Capital, he can beat -- with military force and hold the banner of the new King.

As for the final crown, Duke doesn't care much.

As an ambassador, Petrov is obviously not very comfortable. The last letter vowed that he would bring a new trade contract, but in the end came Elk Family black hands. Now he is here, and it also brings bad news. -- Whether it is the news of the death of Wimbledon III or the recall order of new King, Petrov believes that Fourth Prince does not want to see either.

The voyage along the way is quite smooth. Greycastle is a country south of the mainland. Even in winter, the river will not freeze.

Petrov visits the river bank from time to time from time to time. On the way, I haven't seen the hunger and the fleeing people along the way, which shows that Border Town hasn't lost any one.

This made him a little surprised, after all, he saw how the other side built the wall when he visited the city wall last time. Petrov really did n’t have much confidence in these mud-studded stone walls.

Then what made him even more surprised appeared, a sailboat with the Willow Town flag slowly sailed from the right side of the river to the scene --, deja vu, but now it is Months of Demons! How could they have time to do business while fighting Evil Beast? Without bringing all mining workers to the line of defense, how could it resist the cruel monsters!

Three days later, the ship arrived at Border Town dock.

It's still the shabby wooden dock, but there is a simple wooden shed on the side of dock. After the ship docked, two guards stepped out of the wooden shed, staring at the boatmen's every move.

Petrov immediately understood the intention of Roland to set up sentry posts here.

Fourth Prince obviously does not want anyone to leave small town secretly by water.

He jumped off the side of the ship and told the guards that a man brought horses to accompany him to the castle.

Like the last procedure, Prince Roland Wimbledon met him in the parlor. Not only that, although he was not at this time, the prince still ordered attendants to put on a rich set of meals.

Charcoal roasted pork leg, dried fish slices, a pot of cold wild vegetables, and buttered bread and vegetable soup that can be seen at any banquet.

It seems that the prince likes to eat first and talk about business.

Petrov thinks so, but the hand doesn't stop for a moment, after all, there is not much chance to have a full meal. Even if it is Honeysuckle Family, when there is no banquet for guests, they basically eat potato bread and dried bacon.

After dinner, when the dessert is served, Petrov respectfully handed over document/secretary.

Roland took it, cut the sealing wax with a dining knife, took out paper roll and took a quick glance, then held it.

King is dead?

Roland has no feelings for this nominal father. He was already in Border Town when he came across. He had never even met, let alone Fourth Prince memory had only complaints and dissatisfaction with his father. Because of this, he felt that he was in a kind of inexplicable embarrassment. Shouldn't -- show sadness and sadness?

The following content made him smell a bit of conspiracy. Wimbledon III died in the murder of the eldest son? Second Prince announced the end of the competition as the new King, and ordered himself to return to Greycastle Kingdom Capital with immediate effect?

Roland coughed twice, raised head, just seeing Petrov's apologetic look.

So that's it, he thought, stronghold Duke is afraid of seeing it happen, and whether he complies with new King's order or not, he will be in a dilemma.

He didn't bring a promised contract, but he brought bad news like a life sign. He was afraid that he would feel bad. Roland smiled secretly, refolded document/secretary, "I know."

"Uh, Your Highness, then you plan to ..."

"Even if I want to leave, I have to wait until the end of Months of Demons. Now it's snowy and snowy. If I leave, what will the Border Town's people do?"

If it is someone else, Petrov will definitely say "don't worry, stronghold will help you handle it properly" such perfunctory words, or other diplomatic official response. But in front of Fourth Prince, who had only seen it twice, he couldn't easily speak. For the first time, Petrov was disgusted with his identity as an ambassador. In the end, he just nodded and said, "I see. Do I need to pass a reply for you?"

Roland called attendants to send a pen and paper, and quickly wrote the reply letter, covered it with the seal and gave it to Petrov. The latter glanced at the envelope, and the cover clearly stated Greycastle Second Prince Timothy Wimbledon instead of King Wimbledon IV.

He has shown his attitude, Petrov thought.
