Chapter 266: Golden Figure Candidates
Seeing that Gervais insisted, Gandalf was speechless in the end. Alice was his monarch and also Gervais's wife. In this situation, he could not stop Gervais' adventure no matter what.
Soon, Gervis led a group of people out of the banquet hall.
Gervis brought Laurel and others in to see if Carl was there, and if so, to arrest him.
But Rowle was meticulous in his work, and Carl, who was originally qualified to attend the banquet tonight, did not come. Gervis estimated that Rowle had already hidden Carl and might have sent him out of Winterfell.
…
After walking out of the inner castle gate, Gervis ordered the servants to close the inner castle gate, and then he hurried to the direction where Alice was. He had been away for long enough and was afraid that something might happen to Alice.
Gervis walked quickly towards the side of the castle, and just as he was about to reach the wooden house, he saw four soldiers of the Order of the Rose walking towards him.
Gervis suddenly had an idea and wondered if these people were planning to lure him over from the inner castle.
Luo Er had this plan just now, but was interrupted by Lina. Gervis thought it was very likely, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Where is Alice? Have you seen Alice?"
When the four rebellious soldiers saw Gervis, they were already on high alert and ready to take action at any time, but they noticed that the man in front of them was calling the Earl's name, so they immediately looked carefully.
With the help of a torch that Gervis happened to pass by, they could see Gervis's appearance clearly. They were all delighted. Wasn't this the person they were sent by Rawl to find?
He had originally planned to let the butler go in and lure Gervis over, but now he had come in himself and walked into the trap.
"Lord Gervis, are you looking for Lord Earl? Lord Earl and the commander-in-chief are ahead. Let us take you there!"
"Oh, okay! Did something happen? I couldn't find Alice at the party."
"Your Excellency, a servant was knocked unconscious in the pool ahead. The Earl and the commander-in-chief are checking over there!"
The darkness of night concealed the expressions of several people, and they felt at ease to continue deceiving Gervis with their original excuse.
"Oh, then take me to see! There is a servant who was knocked unconscious in Rose Castle!"
Gervis pretended to be surprised and quickened his pace to walk in front of the four soldiers.
"Since we're going to perform, let's see who has the best acting skills!"
Gervis sneered in his heart.
The four soldiers didn't say much. Two of them led the way in front of Gervis, and two walked on Gervis's left and right.
It is normal to move like this. If Gervis didn't know that they had already rebelled, he would have regarded it as a protection for himself.
With the 'protection' of four soldiers, Gervis soon arrived in front of the cabin, and when he turned the corner, Alice and the others had already seen them.
"Grevith, run! Danger!"
When Alice saw Gervis coming over, her face turned even paler and tears flashed in her eyes.
This time, Rawl did not stop Alice from shouting, because Gervis came alone and his four subordinates had surrounded him.
When Gervis heard Alice's scream, he felt a little touched, but he still started to struggle cooperatively, preparing to circulate his fighting spirit.
Seeing what Gervis was doing, the four soldiers drew their swords without hesitation and put them on Gervis' neck.
"What's going on? Why can't I use my fighting spirit?"
Gervis screamed in panic and had no choice but to surrender.
"Alice, what's wrong with these subordinates of yours?"
Gervis asked the question even though he knew the answer. He felt that his expression was just right, fully reflecting the fear in the heart of a person being held hostage.
"Haha, Lord Earl, did you see that? How can such a stupid person be worthy of you? As long as you agree to my request, I promise not to harm anyone in the castle."
Luo's face was full of smiles. Now he had two hostages in his hands that he could use to threaten Alice. He felt that he should be able to force Alice to surrender.
Compared to killing Gervis and Lina to force Alice to surrender, if the nobles in the banquet hall were really killed, Luo was worried that even if the plan tonight was achieved, there would be no guarantee that the vassal families would not hold a grudge against him in the future.
Gervis was quickly escorted to Alice's side. Gervis looked at Alice and found that there were no visible scars on Alice's body. It was estimated that she was injured in the internal organs by Raw's sneak attack.
There was also Lina standing by. Lina was only a bronze beginner knight. A soldier held a sword to her neck and she could only look at Rawl fiercely.
"Alice, what's going on?"
Gervis looked at Alice with a scared look on his face.
"Why can't I use my fighting spirit?"
"Roll has rebelled, Gervis, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."
Alice ignored Roll's ridicule, but when she heard Gervis' question, she simply replied to Gervis.
"Baron Gervis, let me ask you, do you want to live?"
Luo didn't take Alice's cold expression seriously and started asking Gervis instead.
"Yes! Of course I want to stay alive. I don't know if Commander-in-Chief Rawl needs me to do anything. I will definitely do my best."
Gervis now had a soldier holding a sword to his neck.
However, he had a strong desire to survive, and his face turned pale when he heard Alice say that Luo Er had rebelled. But after hearing Luo Er's question, he immediately turned around and looked at Luo Er, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.
Seeing that Gervis was so timid, Rawl thought that maybe he could find a breakthrough for Alice through Gervis.
"It's not that difficult actually. You just need to divorce the Earl and persuade him to marry my son. Then I promise not to hurt you and will give you some compensation!"
"this……"
Gervis felt a little embarrassed, as if he was reluctant to give up his current identity and status.
But in my heart I was thinking, it’s time to show my true skills!
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I will kill you now!"
"Don't kill me, I want to!"
Gervis was so frightened by Rawl's provocation that he trembled with fear. He hurriedly raised his hands and shook them continuously, indicating that he was willing to divorce Alice!
"Grevith!"
Seeing Gervis's cowardly look, Alice, who didn't know that Gervis was acting, felt sad. You know, in Alice's heart, she also regarded Gervis as a person with whom she could get along equally.
But he didn't expect that Gervis had no backbone at all. Luo Er just threatened him casually and Gervis surrendered obediently.
Even Lina, who was standing by, looked at Gervis with contempt.
"Very good, since you are willing to divorce, the next step is to persuade Alice to marry Carl! If you do this, I promise to fulfill my promise just now."
Roll was not surprised by Gervis's cowardly appearance. None of these noble young masters, who had just reached adulthood and had never been to the battlefield, were afraid of death. Even his own son Carl was not much better than Gervis. It was already better than many other noble young masters that Gervis had not wet his pants.
"Alice, just agree to Commander Roll!"
Gervis saw a glimmer of hope for his survival, and immediately turned to look at Alice and begged.
"Grevith...you...I will never agree to this traitor. If you have the guts, just kill me. He will get nothing!"
Alice was so angry at Gervis' words that her originally pale face turned a little red because of anger.
Alice wanted to call Gervis a coward, but after thinking about Gervis's performance at the banquet tonight, especially the Warcraft crystal and birthday cake he gave her, Alice finally held back.
Of course, at this moment, the slight position that Gervis originally held in Alice's heart immediately disappeared.
If Gervis knew what Alice was thinking, he would definitely want to cry without tears, thinking: Big sister, I am saving you with my acting skills, and you don’t thank me, and you even despise me!
"My Lord Earl, since you are unwilling to agree, I will fulfill my previous promise!"
Seeing that Gervis's advice was of no use, Rawl winked at the soldier next to Gervis.
The soldier immediately understood, bent down, grabbed Gervis' collar and lifted him to the side.
"Alice! Ah... Commander Roll, don't kill me!"
Knowing that he was about to be beheaded, Gervis began to struggle hard.
Somehow, Gervis managed to break free from the soldier's grasp and ran to Rawl's feet.
The soldier ran over quickly and continued to grab Gervis. The soldier who had been holding Lina with a sword saw this and prepared to help.
"Alice, you have to save me!"
Gervis lowered his head and cried miserably, but his eyes were rolling around.
Roll ignored Gervis at his feet. Gervis had no fighting spirit now, and even a hundred Gervises could not hurt him.
Given the speed of a Peak Silver Knight, even if Gervis used a weapon like a dagger to launch a close-range attack, Roll might be able to blow Gervis away before he could stab him.
At this moment, Roll stared at Alice closely, because he saw a hint of hesitation in Alice's eyes, which meant that Gervis's cry for help made Alice begin to waver.
"Scream! Keep screaming!"
Luo Er was expecting Gervis to continue asking Alice for help, so that he could accomplish his mission immediately. It was a little surprising that Alice would be shaken by Gervis, but it also made Luo Er more certain of his murderous intention towards Gervis.
"Alice, save me!"
"I promised, you let him go..."
Bang!
Is it poisonous?
