Chapter 370 Heading to the Palace
"Catch him for me!"
The eldest prince finally spoke without further delay. Now was the best time to kill Gervis. Not only was there enough reason, but it was also the easiest time.
"stop!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, a clear and pleasant voice was heard outside the hall door.
When people looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a stunningly beautiful and cold woman walking towards them, escorted by a team of silver-armored soldiers. It was Gervis's cheap wife, Alice.
Seeing the arrival of Alice and the Rose Knight, Gervis finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he didn't have to worry about being bullied by the Crown Prince and his men.
"Count Alice, you've come just in time. Your husband, Baron Gervis, killed Ulic, the heir of the Charles family. I was just about to capture him and send him to His Majesty the King to be punished!"
A trace of regret flashed across the eldest prince's eyes. He didn't expect Alice to arrive so soon. Now it was impossible for him to kill Gervis in front of Alice.
"No need to trouble your highness, I will take Gervis to meet His Majesty the King right now."
"However, I heard that what happened today was not caused by Gervis. I will seek justice from His Majesty the King."
Alice's face was cold. After she finished speaking to the eldest prince, she looked at Charles' body on the ground, her expression still calm.
After watching for a while, Alice said to Gervis, "Gervis, let's go and meet His Majesty the King now."
"OK!"
Gervis nodded. It was indeed the best choice to meet the king now. If Yurik's father, the current Earl of the Charles family, came later and he had murderous intentions, no one here could stop him.
Count Nemio of the Charles family is a golden knight.
Although the king might not necessarily protect her, at least Naomi would not dare to kill anyone in front of the king and had to go through the legal procedure.
"Ike, take this body with you!"
Before leaving, Gervis gave an instruction to Ike who came up with Alice.
Things that happened tonight were weird. The reason why things developed to this point was that the man who was beheaded by him was a great help. Otherwise, even if he and the eldest prince and others fought, it would not end up in a life-and-death battle.
More importantly, this person was obviously here to assassinate him. The mithril dagger on the ground was the best proof.
After Ik and others put away the body and the dagger, Gervis and Alice quickly went to the king's palace.
The eldest prince didn't say anything more, but he didn't leave Glory Manor immediately. Instead, he continued to wait.
He now had to wait for the Charles family to arrive and explain in advance, otherwise he would be involved in today's events and would likely incur the hatred of the Charles family.
"Grevith, what happened today?"
After leaving the manor, Alice's aloof demeanor eased a little, although she herself might not even be aware of such subtle changes.
Gervis was helpless and could only tell Alice exactly what happened in Glory Manor today.
Of course, this also conceals the fact that he used his money to actively pick up girls. He just said that he happened to meet Caroline, and then the following things happened.
As for killing Yurik and others, Gervis did not hide it, but he did not reveal that he had learned the fireball technique.
Gervis is still considering whether to confess to Alice that he can understand basic magic skills.
Because if I tell Alice that I can understand those words, I will have to make up some lies to deceive Alice later.
Gervis would not tell anyone about the system panel, including Alice.
…
Upon hearing that Yurik was really killed by Gervis, Alice's crystal red lips moved, but in the end she did not speak immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Alice continued, "So, the body you just had taken away was originally intended to assassinate you? It's very likely that it wasn't in the same group as the eldest prince or Yurik?"
"Well, I am sure that this guy is not in the same group as the eldest prince. Otherwise, if they rushed at me at that time, I would definitely not be spared."
Gervais nodded in affirmation.
When he was confronting the eldest prince, he saw from the corner of his eye that the man was coming from the direction of the gate, while the eldest prince and others had been in the hall for a long time and arrived earlier than the three of them, so this man was definitely sent by others to assassinate him.
"Was it Chakra or Avery?"
Alice thought for a moment and then asked.
"It is very likely that this guy can enter the third floor of Glory Manor, and his strength is at least that of a high-level bronze knight. He is definitely not someone that an ordinary person can command!"
"If it's a noble, it will be easy to check. When we meet His Majesty the King later, we can ask him to order the soldiers guarding the city to check the entry records. Then we can quickly find out the identity of this person."
Alice said lightly.
He paused and then continued, "Gervis, when you meet the king later, you must deny that you killed Yurik. You can't let anyone have the opportunity to punish you with the noble law!"
To be honest, Gervis's killing of Charles was a relief for the Jones family. After all, the two families were now sworn enemies. Just like the camping incident today, the Charles family must have been involved behind the scenes.
"I understand. Don't worry, Alice!"
Seeing that Alice and he shared the same idea, Gervis immediately responded.
Of course, Gervis also knew that even if the law could not punish him, the Charles family would retaliate against him privately.
However, as long as the other party does not blatantly send a master to kill him, Gervis' safety is still guaranteed.
At worst, he can just follow his cheap wife during this period of time. Once he returns to Jones County, even if the Charles family is powerful, the danger will be much less.
For the Jones family, the only member of the Charles family who is stronger than them is the Golden Knight Count Nemio.
As for other aspects, such as military strength, etc., the Jones family is still the leader among the eight earls.
"By the way, Alice, how did you get here so quickly?"
Suddenly, Gervis remembered that Code had only been out for less than two minutes, but Alice had already arrived, and even Ike and other personal guards in the manor came up at the same time as them.
"It was Caroline. She informed me that you had a conflict with the eldest prince."
"I didn't expect that when I arrived at Glory Manor, Code just came out and told me what happened inside!"
Alice gave Gervis an unpleasant look.
"I see!"
Gervis nodded, ignoring his cheap wife's eye roll.
Gervis didn't expect that after Caroline left angrily, she would actually help him get help.
…
In the King’s Palace of the City of Glory!
The king sat expressionlessly on the main seat at the top of the meeting hall, while below him sat six earls.
Except for the two earls who had not yet arrived at the City of Glory, all the most powerful nobles of the Principality of Jean were gathered together.
No one had expected that such a major emergency would occur at this critical juncture when the southern expedition was about to begin.
If this matter is not handled properly, there will be no talk of the southern expedition this year. It is even more likely that they will start internal strife before they even set out!
