Chapter 235: The Fall of the Empire (1) (2/2)
“That crazy old man…”
Duke Dominic Florian clenched his teeth Recently, Duke Florian had begun to question Antras’s ability He had even secretly planted some of his own people around Antras It had been easy for hihts onto his side since he cahts
Now that he knew Antras’s plan, he was furious
“Consolidate? Ha… haha… The Empire is to be the first one to extend a peace treaty to the Lester Kingdoe that could do to the Empire?”
Doue with hiht about it objectively, he knew that Antras wouldn’t listen to him First of all, Antras was the one who had command over the military, so he didn’t have the justification for it And even if he tried to force Antras, it was clear that Duke Sebastian would stop hiet Marquis Gotham on my side… no He’s not a person who'll move from his neutral position’
It would have been reassuring if he had his son at a time like this, but unfortunately, his son had been taken as a prisoner by the enemy When he remembered that it was also because of Antras’s mistake, Duke Florian became even more furious
‘The ner in the first place’
Duke Florian believed that Antras rong He believed that the only person ht noas himself
In that case, for the E, otherwise, there would be serious dae to the Empire’s reputation and status
Usually, if a person continuously thinks about soht will pick up speed and only burrow itself deeper in that person’s ht wasn’t always correct
“I can’t continue to leave the Empire in the hands of an outsider”
Duke Florian believed that Antras’s mere existence was a threat to the Empire
“I need to… deal with hi coan to exude from Duke Dominic Florian
The next day
Duke Sebastian’s face turned red
“What… what did you just say?”
“Th… that’s um…”
“Tell me immediately!”
Duke Sebastian showed a violent te to hi wet between his thighs, the er still wanted to live and repeated hiht… the… the Silver Sage as assassinated… sir”
He barely finished his report before fainting
Duke Sebastian ran to Antras’s barrack in one breath Knights were already surrounding the barrack and with them were Duke Dominic Florian and Marquis Baker Gotham
“Duke Sebastian, Your Grace, inside…”
“Get out of hts who tried to block him stiffened at his murderous intent
His eyes widened when he moved past them and entered the barrack In front of hier to his heart
Duke Sebastian’s eyes turned bloodshot and from his whole body exuded a bloodthirstiness thatto kill someone
Just who on earth said this ht? At this e beast as he exuded such bloodthirsty murderous intent
“Who did this?”
He sounded like he had just crawled out of hell The knights around hiht and didn’t dare to speak
But then…
“You won’t tell me?!!”
With a loud cry, Duke Sebastian drew his sword Without even realizing it, the knights stepped back Soht down
Duke Sebastian was just barelyto hold onto a strand of reason It see his sword and very easily kill the to intervene
“Your Grace, please calm down”
Cautiously, Marquis Baker Gotha I can calh there’s no evidence, based on the circudoe”
Besides them, who else would assassinate Antras?
“What the hell were the knights ere supposed to be guarding doing?”
“They said they didn’t feel or see anything last night”
“Incompetent bastards…”
Duke Sebastian clenched his teeth Then, he approached Antras and held his hand When he felt the cold te tears flowed from Duke Sebastian's eyes
“Antras… I’m sorry It’s allhis friend to the battlefield when Antras had just wanted to spread the last years of his life in peace He had clung to his friendshi+p because he believed that the Empire needed Antras’s abilities But because of that, a dear friend he had gained in his later years had been brutally er that was stabbed through Antras’s heart
“Your Grace, if you disturb the body…”
Marquis Gotham tried to stop hier As soon as the dagger was pulled out, blood gushed out and splashed onto Duke Sebastian’s body
Duke Sebastian gripped the dagger as he shouted
“I am Hector Sebastian At this place, I swear I will return this dagger that stabbed through the heart of my friend in the heart of the one who put it there! If anyone tries to stop ive them!”
Everyone who heard Duke Sebastian’s vow here bowed They were acknowledging his vow and determination
At thiscompletely disappeared from Duke Sebastian’s head
