Don’t Come to Wendy’s Flower House

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Don’t come to the coronation at noon (6)

When Badge asked them to present their IDs, one of them said, bowing deeply, “I’m sorry. We work at Verman Palace and came here to chip in at the request of the people here at Cheddar Palace. ” He took out his own ID showing the official stamp of Verman Palace.

“I haven’t heard that we requested your help,” Badge said, shrugging with a frown.

Dylan watched their movements closely.

“Well, what are you hiding in the waist of your pants?” asked Dylan, standing next to Badge, pointing to the servant. Upon closer look, he saw something sticking out of the servant’s side. The servant raised his head suddenly and said, “Hiding what? I’m not hiding anything.”

“…. ”

Dylan quickly approached the servant without asking further. Embarrassed by Dylan’s actions, the servant quickly stepped back and exchanged an urgent glance with the other two servants.

Right at that moment they attacked in a flash. Badge knocked down the dagger that had been thrown at Dylan. Badge charged toward the servant who threw the dagger at Dylan and beheaded him. Blood gushed from his neck as he collapsed without even moaning. Dylan fought with the other two servants. They attacked him with the daggers they had hidden in their inner pockets.

Dylan struck down the three daggers they threw then cut the abdomen of the attendant who was trying to stab him with a dagger. The man fell on the floor, vomiting blood.

Helped by Badge, he controlled the remaining one quickly. The two captured him alive on purpose. They had to find out the purpose of their secret hiding in Cheddar Palace.

“Tell me who sent you. Why did you come to this palace? ”

At Badge’s questioning, the man moved his lips as if he was trying to say something.

Dylan, who was gagging his mouth to prevent any dangerous action, released his grip on his mouth.

“…Oops! ”

Freed from Dylan’s grip, the servant wiggled his mouth and fell down.

When Dylan opened his mouth belatedly, he couldn’t do anything.

“It’s poison. If they had poison in their mouths, they are not ordinary assassins,” Badge said, searching the man’s pockets.

Dylan was filled with anxiety and searched the other two’s pants. Soon they took out several long bottles from the servants’ pants. Almost at the same time, they opened the caps and smelled the liquid inside and hardened their expression. They smelled the strong scent of gasoline.

“What’s the matter?” The soldiers who heard the disturbance yelled from afar, trying to confirm their safety. Looking at them quickly, Badge told Dylan, “Inform the soldiers about this. We have to find the rest of them right now!”

Without any further delay Badge ran toward the room where one of the suspicious servants went out.

“Sir, Are you okay? ” asked the soldiers who urgently ran to Dylan. He informed them about the situation quickly. There were three remaining fugitives. Even if Badge captured one servant, the other two might carry out their assigned mission. Requesting the support of other knights, Dylan ran in another direction in search of the fugitives.

Dylan quickly looked around and tried to find them. He could see lots of servants wearing the same outfits all over the place, but they were not the fugitives he was looking for. As time went by, he became more nervous.

He had just entered the central building of Cheddar Palace when he noticed someone pacing up and down in the corridor leading to the reception room. He was a servant with the common brown hair, but Dylan felt it in the guts that he was one of the suspects he had seen a little while ago.

Dylan approached him quickly and narrowed the distance. Noticing Dylan, he was surprised and looked back. Dylan did not hesitate to pull the sword. The servant changed his expression at that. If he were innocent, he would kneel down and beg for his life or ask the reason for the attack, but he took out daggers from his pocket. Shortly afterwards, several iron-shaped daggers were flying toward Dylan. Dylan quickly knocked two daggers away with his sword and avoided the third by rolling on the floor.

In the meantime, the man had distanced himself from Dylan. Then he threw the bottle in his hand on the floor and broke it. The liquid in it wet the floor. When Dylan got up and rushed toward him, the man quickly sparked a fire with a flint. The spark turned into flames on the floor in a moment and spread out in all directions.

“Let me make it clear again. I have no intention of escaping this place.”

When he was briefed by the knights about the incident at Cheddar Palace, who urged him to flee, the new emperor refused their offer resolutely.

He did not want to be a cowardly emperor who left his servants behind in the hall and avoided danger. If the first thing he did after the coronation was escape from the palace, how could he live proudly?

“Don’t make any more fuss. Make sure that those gathered here won’t be agitated.”

Emperor Isaac warned the knights strictly. Standing near them along with Sir Simuan, Wendy noticed that Isaac’s eyes were fixed on one man. He was Duke Auguste Engre standing in front of the platform.

“Report to me about the situation. How is the damage?” Isaac asked one knight.

“Most of the people have been evacuated but we have not yet brought the flames under control.”

The emperor stopped for a moment and said, “… Focus on reducing the loss of lives. I already witnessed the scene where my palace collapsed. You have to keep in mind that I was more angered by the people’s injuries than the collapse of the palace.”

He spoke with a low and gloomy voice. As she felt the emperor made the remarks with the duke in mind, Wendy slowly looked at the faces of the new emperor and the duke alternately.

The knights were concerned about the safety of the emperor who would not leave the coronation palace, but Wendy felt their concern was useless. The reason why the duke was still staying here without leaving was because he felt this place was safe.

Of course, the emperor’s thinking rested on the assumption that the duke was behind all kinds of unpleasant things that had happened to the imperial family until now.

He felt reassured when he saw the duke, his wife and children still hanging around. How could the duke commit terrible things in front of his family? He was not stupid enough to neglect the safety of his family and his own safety.

Watching the duke with a serious expression wrapping an arm around his anxious daughter’s shoulders, Wendy thought about what he had in mind at the moment. He would certainly have set the place on fire if he had wanted to stop the coronation. There was no reason for him to set fire to Cheddar Palace.

“Duke Engre!”

“Earl Scholters!”

“Oh my god, what the heck is this? I hear that a fire broke out at Cheddar Palace. Was it a big fire? ”

Wendy tilted her head when a middle-aged man approached the duke and spoke to him.

For his voice was unusually familiar to her.

She heard the duke calling him Earl Scholters.

He looked like Altarin Scholters whom she hated so much, it was the first time she saw him. If that was the case, his voice could not be familiar to her.

“Well, I just hope it’s not serious.”

“As the fire broke out on the coronation day, this is not auspicious… ” The earl fumbled.

Other nobles around him heard it and began to whisper. The emperor, who kept receiving updates from the knights about the fire, fortunately did not seem to have heard his rude words.

Watching the emperor’s face for a while, Wendy’s face hardened at that moment because she realized why Earl Scholter’s voice was familiar to her.

The suspicious conversation she overheard between the duke and this man right before the crown prince’s palace collapsed.

That mysterious man who talked with the duke’s bodyguard knight.

He was the same man!

Wendy stared carefully at his face and tried not to be embarrassed. It was obvious why he made nobles around him feel nervous by saying the fire was not auspicious.

Sensing something bad was going on, Wendy glaced at the glass door leading to the terrace, opening her eyes wide at the outside scene. She walked to the terrace.

When she opened the door and went out, she could see the castle and other things beyond it clearly. First of all, she could see the beacon next to the bell tower of the palace burning brightly. The white smoke burning from there was constantly rising up in thick clouds into the blue sky. Beginning with the beacon of the Imperial Palace, other beacons outside the castle were also burning one after another.
