Chapter 278 He Is Confident

"The third prince, Sorok, was attacked by an unknown person. He was seriously injured and was on the verge of death."

When such news spread among the aristocratic circles, it was already the next day.

The third prince Thorok appeared in the palace atrium covered in blood and was discovered by the patrolling knights. Such news could not be concealed at all. It spread to the ears of nobles through the mouths of countless people overnight.

"What?"

"His Royal Highness Sorok was attacked?"

"How is this going?"

Countless nobles were shocked by the news that reached their ears after getting up.

It is definitely a big deal that the prince of a country is attacked and is on the verge of death.

Especially the target of the attack was the third prince Sorok. He was not the incompetent royal children who were neglected in the palace, but the most outstanding descendant of the royal family and a strong contender for the next king. This was equivalent to putting Jinas on the throne. A big event that pierced the kingdom's sky.

At this moment, both the royal family and the duke faction were shocked and frightened.

They seemed to be able to see the furious look of the royal family and the angry scene of His Majesty the King.

The reality is pretty much what they imagined.

When the news reached the ears of King Hemulinpu, the king was really angry. He sent the knights, court magicians and even the shadow knights directly under the royal family to the scene of the accident overnight. While investigating, we are hunting down the murderer.

Many nobles were either suspected or implicated, and were summoned to the palace one after another to undergo royal interrogation.

Thanks to this, many people living in the royal capital had just gotten up. When they walked out of their homes, they were surprised to find that for some reason, there were groups of knights running back and forth in the streets and alleys, searching for something from house to house. , and there were carriages driving back and forth, looking like they were in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The people suddenly fell into a state of panic, and were panicked by the royal family's actions.

…………

In the center of the city, Duke Cordelion's Pavilion.

At this time, Saint Xalia came to a study room with a somewhat hurried pace.

"Brother, I have brought back the information."

Saint Xalia spoke to the only person in the study, holding a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Bring it to me and see."

The person who responded to Saint Xalia in this way was the handsome blond young man who was doing self-exercise in the backyard of this mansion last time.

Today, he is no longer sweating and exercising like a swordsman. Instead, he is sitting behind the desk in the study, well dressed. He looks like a young and promising upper class person, exuding an elegant and noble temperament.

This man is the elder brother of St. Charlia, the elder brother of the famous Cordelion brothers in the kingdom. He is regarded as the best successor to the next king and has a very high right of succession. The eldest son of Duke Cordelion’s family— ——Saint Nidore Cordelion.

He took the information brought back by his sister and quickly glanced at the contents.

During this process, Saint Xalia spoke out in a tone of admiration or dumbfoundedness.

"The mad dog was really almost killed. He was on the verge of death. Even the court magician almost failed to save him. In the end, His Majesty used the treasures in the treasure house to save his life."

No one else knew who caused this, but the brother and sister knew it all.

After all, even if they are not parties, they are still facilitators.

That's why Saint Xalia was so unbelievable.

"I knew he would take action, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous." Saint Xalia murmured: "He actually planned to kill a rising prince. This Thunder Sword Master is not afraid of the royal family looking for him. Is he in trouble?"

It is true that the sword master is very powerful, but Li Ge is not the only sword master in the kingdom.

If Li Ge really touched the bottom line of the royal family, then the royal family would be able to kill him in a rage.

Not to mention the Shadow Sword Master himself, he is loyal to the royal family. There are many sword masters under the kingdom's command, such as the Zhenguan Sword Master, the Meteor Sword Master, and the Sword Master of the Borlei family.

As long as the name is enough, the royal family can send several sword masters to encircle Lige and kill him with the sword.

And facing many sword masters, can Li Ge still win?

Not to mention, there is an unfathomable old sword master in the palace. If even he is dispatched, the trouble will be really big.

The being known as the strongest swordsman in the kingdom has accompanied three generations of kings and has been stationed in the palace for nearly a hundred years. Although he is old, he shows no sign of declining in combat power.

There are many legendary stories about that person in the Kingdom of Jinas. Several of the current sword masters have challenged him, but the results were without exception. They all announced afterwards that they were not that person at all. The opponent of the old sword master.

Many people in the surrounding big countries are even afraid of this famous old sword master, because this sword master has caused a lot of troubles in their countries.

In the face of such power, how can Li Ge, a newly promoted sword master, resist?

Maybe he can't even put up a decent resistance?

Otherwise, the nobles sent by the duke would have taken action against Sorok long ago and would not have kept him alive until now.

It was precisely because they were afraid of the power of the royal family and the many sword masters that the Duke's nobles could only stand still and let Saint Nidol compete with Sorok step by step to obtain the throne in a legitimate way.

However, Li Ge was not like that. If he didn't take action, he would just kill him without taking any care of the royal family's anger.

"That only means one thing."

Saint Nidor put the information he had read on his desk and said something meaningful.

"Either he is confident."

"Either he never considered the consequences."

"Which one do you think it will be?"

St. Nidor's words made St. Xalia couldn't help but recall the impression she had when she saw Li Ge in the mead restaurant.

Saint Xalia was very impressed by those calm, indifferent, and unwavering eyes.

In view of this...

"The former, right?" Saint Xia Liya said with some uncertainty: "Is he really confident?"

"Perhaps." St. Nidor was obviously not sure about this kind of thing. He just said: "The only thing that is certain is that since he has done this, we will probably be implicated a lot."

There was no way, the next king supported by the Royal Faction was almost killed, and the rival of the Duke Faction must be the first target of suspicion.

The royal family will definitely doubt whether this is a good thing done by people sent by the Duke, or they may be suspicious of the Cordelion family.

There is absolutely no way the brother and sister can run away.

"The next ones to be summoned may be us."

Saint Nidor's words made Saint Charya look like she had a headache.

When I think about what is going to happen next, even Saint Xalia feels that it is extremely troublesome.

"What a good thing he did." Saint Xalia sighed and muttered: "He himself is good and knows how to hide his identity, but we are miserable and have to bear part of the responsibility for his actions."

"This tells us that the favor of a sword master is not so easy to win." St. Nidor smiled and said: "Even if he is younger, younger than me, and the same age as you, he is still a sword master. "

St. Nidor was already thinking about how to remove himself and Li Ge from being suspected of this incident.

It has happened, and it is useless to lament.

Moreover, crises are also opportunities. After this difficulty, the relationship between them and Li Ge will become closer, and the royal family will be shaken and suffer the turmoil caused by this incident.

If you can seize the opportunity, you may not be able to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

"I'll help you this time."

Saint Nidol seemed to be talking to Li Ge who was not present, talking to himself.

"Don't let me live up to my expectations for you, okay?"

"Thunder Sword Master."

…………

At the same time, in the king's room of the palace, King Hemulinpu sat there with a heavy face, with a little anger in his eyes.

"How's it going?" King Hemulinpu said to the empty place, "Have you found out?"

Behind King Hemulinpu, a swaying black shadow appeared.

"'Shadow' has sorted out all the information it can collect. "

Rom's voice reached King Hemulimp's ears.

"After investigation, it has been confirmed that after His Royal Highness Sorok had a conflict with Lige Brighaut during the audience, he sent people to the Baron of Carfield that night to seize Baron Carfield and Bu The Richot family were all captured and brought back to the royal capital."

"Last night, he sneaked out of the palace alone and went to the abandoned houses near the city wall. There were not only many knights belonging to His Highness who were not recorded in the records, but also Baron Carfield and Brehau. The special family.”

"Then, His Highness was attacked by a group of mysterious figures. The leader claimed to be Kasumi, and he used a sword skill that can control mist. According to the description of the surviving knight, I judge that the sword skill may be a kind of sword skill. It is not inferior to the shadow attack sword skill at all, and is the same type of assassination sword skill as the shadow attack sword skill.”

"Your Highness was stabbed through the chest by his sword and almost died on the spot."

As Rom reported, the expression on King Hemulimp's face became more and more ugly, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Bang!"

Finally, King Hemulimp couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table hard.

The object of his anger is, first of all, not others, but his own son.

"He left the palace in violation of the ban and hid private soldiers. This bastard really doesn't take me seriously anymore!"

Last time, King Hemulimp was humiliated by Yuri because of the mess caused by Sorok. This time, Sorok also caused such a thing. He could already predict the following. How would those nobles complain?

If this wasn't his own son, the most outstanding one, King Hemulinpu would never pretend he didn't see it.

"Then what?"

King Hemulimp suppressed his anger and asked the most critical question.

"Who is behind this matter?"

"The Cordelion family?"

"Or...Rig Brighaut?"
