Chapter 487: 485 Cleaning (Up) _1

“Duchess, at the very least, you should let us in to collect the remains of our mentor!”

Prince Harrison said in a solemn voice, finally asserting the dignity that the first heir to the Royal Family of the Empire should have.

The Duchess hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying,

“Your Highnesses, I fully understand your feelings, and of course, I can let you in to pay your last respects to Count Angler.

However, since the murderer who assassinated Count Angler has not yet been found, I would ask you not to touch his remains for the time being.”

Having said that, she gestures towards the guards.

Prince Harrison immediately led his sister, who was crying her eyes out, and walked in briskly.

Upon walking into the room, Prince Harrison only saw a pool of fresh blood, but didn’t find the remains of his mentor.

Bewildered, Prince Harrison even circled the room, turned over every corner, but still found no trace of Colin’s remains.

“Brother, where is our mentor?” Princess Judy also looked confused, momentarily forgetting to continue crying.

“I don’t know.” Prince Harrison’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. He walked out of the room and asked, “Where’s the remains of our mentor?”

“Gone?” The guard at the door was a little stunned too, but when he went in, he was shocked to find that the corpse had indeed disappeared.

The guard hurried off to inform the Duchess.

The Duchess was a little flustered, thinking that someone had stolen the body. Although she couldn’t understand the purpose of this, she immediately ordered a search.

The assassination of Count Angler always carried a sense of eerie strangeness. The Duchess herself was chill to the bone, but she couldn’t dwell on the mystery of Count Angler’s death as an Orderly hurried over to report:

“Duchess, Sir Warren asked me to inform you that the Nicoll family indeed betrayed us! They’ve taken control of the North City Gate, and have launched an attack against the approaching Pegasus Army!”

The Duchess felt a chill, and her heart trembled. The worst-case scenario had indeed happened.

She steadied her heart, then asked, “What about the Blood Knight Army? Have they entered the city?”

“Not yet.”

“Not yet?” The Duchess looked relieved, but she could hardly believe it.

“Yes. The Blood Knight Army stationed outside the city doesn’t show any unusual activities, as if they were completely unaware of Count Angler’s assassination.”

The Duchess was taken aback.

Sir Warren clearly said that Colin Angler’s guards who had brought him into the city were not stopped, so these escaped guards would certainly inform the Blood Knight Army of Count Angler’s assassination.

Why is it that the Blood Knight Army isn’t making any moves now? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Nor doing so, Count Nicoll holding the North City Gate was clearly trying to let the frenzied cavalry of the Blood Knight Army enter the city due to the death of Colin Angler, and carry out a bloody revenge on the St. Prowse family.

But why did things not unfold as expected?

Although the Duchess didn’t know where the enemy’s plan went wrong, she realized that this was an excellent opportunity for her!

If she could reclaim the North City Gate and keep the Blood Knight Army out of the city, then the situation in White Dew City would not be irreversible.

Thinking this, the Duchess hesitated no more and swiftly walked out.

Seeing this, Prince Harrison hurriedly shouted, “Duchess, how could you just leave like this? What about our mentor’s remains? And the murderer?”

At this point, the Duchess couldn’t care less about a dead man, kept walking, and hastily replied,

“Your Highness, Prince Harrison, I certainly won’t ignore Count Angler. Isn’t that why I am going out to organize a more detailed search?

So, I would ask you to be patient here. Once there are any developments, I will inform you immediately.”

Having said that, the Duchess hurriedly left.

Princess Judy, looking pitiful, clasped Prince Harrison’s arm, sobbing and asking,

“Brother, is our mentor really dead?”

Prince Harrison looked at the Duchess’s retreating figure and slowly shook his head, saying,

“Our mentor would not die so easily!”

“Really?” Princess Judy smiled through her tears, asking in surprise.

Prince Harrison pursed his lips, and seriously said,

“I won’t believe it until I see his corpse with my own eyes.”

Princess Judy also nodded repeatedly: “Yes, I don’t believe he has passed away!”

…

“You…you’re really not dead!”

Beatrice looked in shock at Colin, who had crawled in through the window.

“How could I die so easily?” Colin slowly approached with a smile on his face.

That terrifying blood hole in his chest was not completely healed yet, and you could even see his burst heart hanging there like a deflated ball.

But Colin acted as if nothing had happened, walking and pointing at his own head, he said with a significant tone:

“Didn’t Marquis Vincent tell you? To kill me, you have to cut off my head!”

Beatrice’s eyes widened, not daring to believe what she was seeing, she muttered while backing away:

“Devil…you’re a devil…”

“Devil?” Colin’s mouth curled up in a smile, he continued to approach Beatrice, his voice saying, “Why couldn’t I be a messenger of god?”

“Messenger of god?” The retreat of Beatrice halted, as she seemed to understand something, “Could you actually be God’s Favored?”

Without waiting for Colin to respond, a look of revelation crossed Beatrice’s face, and she continued:

“Yes, that must be it! You must be God’s Favored!

How else could someone as gifted as you emerge from the small Angler family!

And you also possess this nearly death-defying ability!

God’s Favored, what is your grand mission on Earth?

May I be so honored as to aid you, even if it’s the most insignificant contribution to your grand plan?”

Saying so, a look of devotion appeared on Beatrice’s face, and she slowly got down to kiss the tip of Colin’s shoe.

A brow arched on Colin’s face, clearly he did not expect her to change her attitude so rapidly. Just as he was about to engage her further, his expression suddenly became serious.

Whoosh!

Beatrice, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly lunged at him, her silver dagger in her right hand, lunging at Colin’s neck like a venomous snake coming out of its hole!

However, the dagger was held in mid-air by a strong hand.

“Hmph! Overestimating yourself!”

Colin sneered.

Beatrice’s expression didn’t change, her eyes full of determination and resolve, not showing even a hint of the earlier reverence and devotion.

Her right leg swiftly attempted a sweep while her left hand aimed right at the blood hole in Colin’s chest.

However, the gap in their strength was too large.

Even though Colin was heavily injured and his damaged heart made him weak, Beatrice, with her level-four knight’s strength, still couldn’t pose a threat to him.

Creak! Creak!

Colin clamped Beatrice’s vicious leg sweep between his legs, his right hand grabbed her wrist with such force that it nearly crushed her wrist bones.

The two were so close to each other, the position seemed quite suggestive, but in reality, it was a deadly battle.

Beatrice was truly a formidable woman, even when both her arms and legs were restrained, she was not ready to give up. She swung her head and slammed it into Colin’s nose.

Holy light surged on Colin’s face, dense golden lines quickly formed a shield resembling a mask.

Thump!

In this collision, Colin was totally fine, while Beatrice’s face was gory, leaving her dizzy.

Colin gave a cold smile and without any hesitation bit into Beatrice’s slender neck.
