I Will Be The Crowned King

"Where is this guy hiding..."

Sophia, who was talking to herself, shuttled through the stairs of the castle. The dim light cast a dark shadow behind her. Her nervous heartbeat and the incomparably clear footsteps echoed in her ears.

When the banquet hall was in chaos, Sophia had already left the scene early to take advantage of the short lights-out time of the "moving image" and started to continue her real purpose today.

That is to catch Draco Wilters!

Although the bounty published in the newspaper did not force a certain family to appear, it still gave Sophia many clues.

Let's say Draco Wilts is at St Isaac's tonight;

Or to be more precise, he is in this castle!

Of course, she also heard the riots outside and the whistle of the judge, but Sophia was not worried about it - this is St. Isaac's College, and there are three companies of guards stationed outside, what can happen?

Rather, it is because of the commotion outside that it is more proof that a certain home is here, right? !

The flickering lights in the stairwell made Sophia involuntarily quicken her pace. She wanted to dig out the truth about the North Harbor incident five years ago and the recent commotion in Clovis City from Draco's mouth!

Those who can only hide outside the door of the smoking room and overhear what their father and Ludwig, as well as all kinds of men who are well-dressed or not, are really affecting the entire Kingdom of Clovis and even The truth of the whole world!

The interior of St. Isaac's College was like a labyrinth in Sophia's eyes; the church college did not admit female students, and she could only travel between these corridors, stairs, and narrow doors with a little memory of accompanying Ludwig to school when she was a child.

The street lights in the stairwell suddenly flickered, and Sophia immediately stopped; just as she looked back, the light above her head completely fell into darkness.

Footsteps in military boots sounded from below the stairwell.

"Who?!"

Sophia, who was involuntarily nervous, blurted out, standing stiffly in the dark, staring directly below her.

"Is it Miss Sophia?!" A gasping middle-aged male voice sounded, mixed with a hint of surprise:

"The archbishop's daughter, Miss Sophia of the Franz family, is that you?!"

"Yes……"

Sophia, who frowned slightly, looked at the other party. In the dark corridor, she could only vaguely see the messy military uniform on the other party's body, and the other party's appearance immediately appeared in her mind:

"You are the captain of the Guards! Isn't there a mob rioting outside? Why are you here?"

"Ah... that... riot... is almost settled!"

The guard officer's voice sounded flustered: "Let's not talk about this, I just caught a sneaky guy, very similar to the home you were looking for in the "Clowe Truth"!"

"real?!"

Sophia's eyes lit up.

"Really, I specifically locked him in a small room where no one noticed."

The voice of the guards became more and more flustered, they stepped forward quickly, stretched out their muddy and blood-stained left hand towards Sophia, and put the right hand behind him in a gentlemanly manner: "Quick, before anyone finds out, you and me Let's go see it together!"

The captain's expression was extremely sincere.

Sophia hesitated.

It's not because she dislikes the other party for being too dirty, but because she was once deceived by a guy with a more sincere expression than this, which made her subconsciously a little wary when she looked like an expression again.

That's right, Anson Big Liar Bach.

But it only lasted for a few seconds, and the desire to see Draco overwhelmed his vigilance.

Just when she was about to accept the sincerity of the other party, and the hands of the two were about to touch, the gunshot rang.

"boom!"

In the dark corridor with weak optical fibers, she watched the captain's face explode into pieces in front of her!

Sophia's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Blood spurted, the sound of broken bones and ripped muscles played clearly and unmistakably between her eardrums, and the gushing dark red left a large stickiness on her delicate imperial dress.

Sophia, whose mind was blank, froze in place, her consciousness instantly collapsed.

There was a rush of running from the stairs, and the heavy steps hit Sophia's heart like a hammer with each stroke, gushing out from the darkness, like a devil-like shadow in hell, which had completely enveloped her.

can't escape...

I'm going to be killed...

The girl whose breathing was stagnant was held down by the shadow. Looking at the other side's open mouth full of fangs, she had no doubt that she would be crushed by the other side just like the captain of the guards.

"Are you hurt? Hey! I'm asking you, are you hurt?!"

Um? !

This was too incompatible with the set "devil's roar", which made Sophia wake up instantly.

"Anson Bach?!"

"Answer me, are you hurt?!"

An Sen, who was so anxious that he was going crazy, stared at this eldest lady who almost made her "perfect plan" fall short.

"I... don't seem to have!"

Sophia, whose face was covered in blood, raised her head, and her eyes were full of horror as she tried to calm down:

"what happened?"

"What happened... this is too complicated, I will explain it to you when I have time!"

Anson hurriedly grabbed her right hand and kicked the corpse that was in the way on the ground with one foot; only then did Sophia notice that the captain's right hand behind him was holding a revolver.

"Run now, don't stop no matter what happens!" Anson shouted.

"Ugh?!"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, just as she was about to say something, An Sen forced her to step up the stairs.

Almost at the same time as the two of them ran wildly along the stairs, there were countless footsteps coming from the dark stairwell behind them, and some... excited shouts:

"There's someone above, I heard, it's the eldest lady of the archbishop's house!"

"Catch her and let her father return what belongs to us!"

"Give her some color and see!"

There were shouts mixed with various voices, which made Sophia's face pale to the extreme. The shouts full of excitement and fury were not like the sounds that humans could make.

More like the roar of some kind of beast.

Anson, who was holding Sophia's right hand, ran towards the top floor without looking back. The only remaining revolver shot two shots behind him from time to time. The shrill screams could briefly curb the surging torrent.

"Who are those people?!"

The pale-faced Sophia asked while running. The delicate skirt had been torn open by herself, and the shoes on her feet had disappeared, revealing the white silk stockings underneath.

"The poor, the poor who want your life!"

Anson, who didn't look back, fired a shot behind him. The unlucky guy who was shot in the knee screamed and rolled down the stairs: "It's over if they catch them, so run!"

"But I haven't hurt them!" Sophia couldn't help saying:

"I also set up a subsidy fund, implemented a small loan of 100,000 gold coins, and I also invested in welfare institutions - I helped them!"

"That's why they want your life - what you did, almost half of the poor people in Clovis City knew how rich you were!"

"Is it wrong to be rich?!"

"Do you think these people will calm down and reason with you?!"

After firing the last bullet, An Sen directly rubbed the [Gathering Flame] onto the revolver, and threw it back with his backhand.

"boom--!!!!"

Almost at the same time he ducked sideways behind the wall, a golden-red flame mixed with loud noises and screams poured out of the stairwell.

"What did you just throw?"

Sophia was stunned.

"Grenade."

Anson explained casually, running towards the other end in the direction of the corridor:

"Don't worry, this castle is very solid - and it's only a few hundred years old, and it's a Grade II listed building at most!"

Just as he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Anson suddenly stopped and stood by a wall without lights; almost at the same time, a petite figure suddenly appeared in the stairwell at the other end.

"Anson?!"

Lisa, who was carrying a Borne rifle, exclaimed in surprise, the cute little skirt was stained with a lot of dust and blood.

"Clean up the scene as soon as possible!"

An Sen raised his foot as he spoke, "Bang!", and kicked open the narrow door disguised as a wall: "Ten minutes, don't let anyone come up within ten minutes!"

"Yes!"

The girl stood there and gave him a military salute with a serious face.

Behind the narrow door is a small utility room. Anson put Sophia on the ground, and then closed the door with his backhand: "Listen, I will explain to you in ten minutes. I have a very perfect plan to..."

"What the **** are you doing!"

The frightened Sophia stood up abruptly and shouted to Anson, who was hesitant to speak: "You locked a little girl outside the door and asked her to block those thugs for you?!"

"The most important thing is that she is still your sister!"

"It's mostly just in case, and no one will hurt her at all!"

Anson defended: "Listen to me, I have a perfect plan..."

"You beast!"

"Listen to me, it's complicated..."

"Are you still a man?!"

"..."

Looking at those eyes mixed with disgust and shock, Anson sighed, he was too lazy to explain:

"Can you hear me finish?"

Sophia snorted coldly and sat on the ground while panting softly, like sweat dripping from her expressionless cheeks.

Then in the next three minutes, she went from expressionless to incredible panic.

"You mean a few thousand thugs are besieging St Isaac's College and they've already rushed in?!"

"Yes, but the Guards and some other people are trying their best to resist. For the time being, we are still safe...for the time being." Anson emphasized:

"This matter started as an accident, an accident caused by a series of coincidences, so I thought of a perfect plan to solve it, but that can be forgotten for the time being."

"And then I have a perfect plan to get through the night properly and most people will survive, including the thugs out there - but I need your help."

"What do you need me to do?"

Sophia's expression was a little confused - she was very confident in herself, but not blindly confident, she knew very well that she couldn't do anything about the thugs outside.

"This is not an easy job, and to some extent it is even dangerous." Anson sighed, he originally planned to do it by himself:

"I need you to go back to the banquet hall and help me track someone."

"Who?"

"Bronne." Anson added:

"He was Mace Hornard's closest student, a classmate of mine."

Sophia immediately showed a stunned expression: "Is he a henchman of the Black Mage?"

Anson didn't answer, it was a default.

"Mace Hornard is here tonight, you should have seen it." Looking at Sophia's unsurprised expression, Anson nodded gently:

"They're all in the hall now, I'll quietly take you back later, and keep an eye on them - just pay attention, don't do anything, don't try to make contact with them, call for help immediately if you feel any danger, you can understand I mean?"

Sophia was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked at Anson: "I promise you, but I also have conditions."

"When this matter is over, you must tell me everything you know about the whole matter - including your true identity!"

"And don't forget, you promised to help me find Draco Wilts!"

"No problem, I promise you!"

Anson resolutely agrees... I'm still at a loss as to how things got like this.

He stood up, took out the Inquisitor's pocket watch and glanced at it; no more, no less, exactly ten minutes.

"boom!"

Pushing the door open, Lisa, who was carrying a rifle, was standing guard outside the door in a serious manner; she immediately turned her head when she heard the sound, and looked at Anson cheerfully: "Is it over?"

"Well, it's time." Anson put away his pocket watch and rubbed her little head:

"How's the situation, did someone come to disturb you?"

"Uh... There are a few, and there are not enough fingers, so Lisa didn't count them." Lisa scratched her head embarrassedly, and raised her small chest proudly:

"But Lisa told them to go back~www.readwn.com~ Clean up those who didn't go back!"

"... Next time, consider including the toes."

Anson smiled reluctantly and turned to look at the stunned Sophia: "I said it, nothing will happen, no one will hurt her at all!"

"This……"

Just when Sophia had an unbelievable expression on her face, Lisa suddenly turned her head and pointed at him with a pair of eyes: "Ah! Lisa remembered, it's you!"

"Do you remember me?"

The surprised Sophia showed a reserved and somewhat curious smile.

"Lisa remembers!" Lisa nodded solemnly and turned to look at Anson behind him:

"She is the woman Lisa told you before, the woman with a strange smell - so you know her, Anson!"

A reserved smile froze on Sophia's face.
