Chapter 28 Betrayal and... Death

The long sword was pulled out a little bit quietly, one centimeter, two centimeters... ten centimeters.

Suddenly, the long sword pulled out suddenly withdrew.

Richard finished packing the things on the shelf and turned back to look at Edward.

Edward showed a puzzled expression.

Richard did not speak, but just watched meaningfully.

Edward couldn't help but stretch out his voice slowly: "Wang...His Royal Highness, you...are you?"

"Do you know, Edward?" Richard asked.

"what?"

"In my eyes, you are a typical medieval nobleman."

"Ah?" Edward froze for a moment, then responded with a half-bang and bowed his head. "No, I... I'm just a loyal captain of your Highness."

"Whatever you say, no matter what your status is, you will always put your family's interests first."

"I..." Edward stopped talking.

Richard waved and said, "There is nothing wrong with it. Only with the presence of nobles like you, and continuous struggle, hard work, and even sacrifice for a family, can a family rise successfully. Um... this is a kind of worthy Great feelings, but... the problem is that you are not smart enough."

"This..." Edward's lips closed, his expression slightly flustered.

"More than a month ago, you asked for leave to return to the family, and I got it. But I know that you did not leave the palace, but went to William's palace."

"I..." Edward's eyelids jumped sharply, really panicking.

"At William's dinner, you agreed to William's request-find an opportunity to kill me, and William also promised you to ensure that your family's interests would not be lost." Li Cha asked, "No matter how you look at it, this It’s a win-win deal, but the question is, do you think William will fulfill his promise, especially after you really kill me?”

"This one……"

"You think that the battle between the crown prince and the nobles, why are you so active? It's because they all know that the winner can divide the flesh and blood of the loser and strengthen themselves. Your family bets on both sides and thinks it's smart and safe , But in fact will not be regarded as a confidant by any party.

When you kill me, you will be charged with rebellion again.Do you think William chose to spare no effort to help protect your family from attack, or pushed gently to push your family to the table of the greedy nobles behind him from the beginning?

Taking a step back, William really kept his promise and vowed to protect your family.But do you think that a new king can really do whatever he wants, can he really do whatever he wants?He really has only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, and the private soldiers of the nobles of the entire Blue Lion City are dozens of times this number.When the greedy nobles are ready to enjoy the victory, can he stop it?"

Edward was completely flustered and his hands were shaking: "His Royal Highness...I...wrong, I...I shouldn't listen to William's words, I shouldn't want to strike you, I..."

"You are indeed wrong." Richard shakes his head. "But it is not the fault of killing me, but because your family has been too fond of being clever from the beginning. In the crown prince's politics, it is better to stand by one side, or stay absolute. Neutrality, do not try to leave a position in both camps.

The crown prince politics is gambling, have you ever seen a gamble with a win?Therefore, no matter how hard you try, your family's results will not change.Strategic mistakes cannot be compensated by tactical efforts. When your family chooses to support me to become the crown prince and send you as the captain of the guard to me, while sending your sister to William, Has decided the current end.

I can only say mourning for this. After all, things like vision and wisdom are really inexplicable.

Well, I am leaving, of course, not to go to the territory. From the beginning, I have not thought about the territory.I will leave the Blue Lion City, leave the Blue Lion Kingdom, and then go and see what is going on in this world, and study and understand the principles.As for you and your family, work hard... struggling, maybe there will be a little life."

When Richard finished speaking, he lifted the heavy box and went straight out, as if not strenuous at all.

Edward stood absently in the bedroom, his body was getting shorter and shorter, and finally he sat down directly on the ground, covering his face with his hands, his whole body shaking.

Suddenly, Edward raised his head again, showing a desperate and crazy expression in his eyes, and said to himself: "What if William said it is true, in case..."

With a "brush", the sword was pulled out, and Edward stood up and walked out.

But suddenly, he returned.

With a "squeak", the bedroom door opened and Richard, who had left, returned again.

"Boom", put the heavy wooden box on the ground, Richard looked at Edward slowly and said: "Well, I thought I would leave very calmly. But when I went downstairs, I still found that The matter is still unresolved, that is... betrayal."

Edward's eyes shrank suddenly, and the next moment seemed to be irritated, and growled: "I don't want it! But my entire family has put half of my destiny on you, what can I do? Now, I must try to save it. !

How many times have I persuaded you, if you really listen to me and do things well, with your ability, you can definitely beat William, then I don’t have to betray you!

But... which time have you heard me?!What strange things do you always study, what kind of wizard do you study, besides giving you the torture that happened three years ago, do you have anything to gain?!Even if I don’t kill you, what can you do, can you really leave?!what?!

Hell, before the family gave me and Mia the hybrid choice, I should choose to go to William's side instead of yours!In that case, everything is different. It will be my hybrid sister-Mia-who betrayed you. I don’t care if she is dead or alive!Does not care!"

Richard smiled, a dangerous smile.

"I'm really sorry, my dear captain, Lord Edward! Sometimes, the reality is so cruel, if you make a wrong step, then nothing can be undone. Hope you and your family have the next chance, There can be smarter practices.

Of course, if you are really determined to be on my side, there is actually some compensation. I actually have some plans to remedy the loss of your family and arrange a good position for you.However, your loyalty has not reached this level.Therefore, it can only be the worst result."

Talking, Richard quickly approached, his lips opened and closed quickly, as if thinking of something.Edward looked at the unarmed Richard, breathing heavily, and next time he gritted his teeth, he would swing his sword and cut it off, "This is all your fault, your fault, it has nothing to do with me!"

But then, Edward saw Richard's hand waving at him, and a strong airflow appeared, like a sudden wind blowing in the room, and slammed into him.Even if he was wearing iron armor, under the influence of powerful force, he stumbled backwards and almost fell.

Spell·Wind Repel!

This!

Edward was surprised, but Richard was approaching again, his lips still closing quickly.

Edward grasped the sword with all his strength, and was about to pierce Li Cha’s abdomen, but then his eyes widened, and he felt the sword passing through the air, like entering a thick liquid, and watching Li Cha In front of him, he couldn't pierce with force, and it was extremely difficult to even pull out the long sword-the weapon was stuck by some mysterious force.

Spell · Wind Barrier!

This!

Edward's worldview collapsed, but Richard had already reached his side, his hands slightly pressed his shoulders, and then caught his head.

"Did you know, Edward, the reason why I don’t want to fight the crown prince is because I really have something important to do. And this thing is also very interesting, as you see it now. So interesting. I will apologize to you, not regret-I have chosen the way myself, and I will never regret it. Hope, you can too."

"I……"

"Goodbye, my guard captain-Lord Edward."

"Click!" Edward felt an irresistible force around his neck. His entire head suddenly turned 180° and twisted behind his back.

Spell·Wind Power!

"Is this the same on my back?" Edward thought, and his vision quickly darkened. "Puff" fell to the ground with no breath.

Richard looked at Edward's body, his eyes flickered, and then breathed a sigh of relief before turning to walk outside the bedroom.
