Chapter 310 (1): Instant Kill
Prince Douglas had transformed into a demon familiar and abducted Queen Sophelia. The situation changed so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.
Among the many legendary mages in the Ministry of Magic, only Yvette and Hermann were truly loyal to the Queen, and they immediately teleported away to give chase. Alnwick and Charlee lived up to Franc’s reputation for waving white flags, standing and watching blankly as the Queen was whisked away. When Yvette and Hermann left to rescue the Queen, they didn’t follow.
It appeared that they had already defected.
The banquet hall fell deathly silent. The Tulip Families couldn’t tell if the Queen had escaped successfully or been captured by the demon familiar. They turned to the Lando family quietly, waiting for Auston to say something. He had the strongest cards, so he had the biggest voice.
“Why didn’t you stop Douglas?” Auston scowled at the Death Knight. “You’re more than capable of that.”
“Why should I interfere with a spat between a loving couple?”
“Bastard, I don’t care what you’re planning, but the Queen has to live,” Auston said through gritted teeth.
Fair point! But being the reasonable one doesn’t mean having the right to raise your voice. With so many witnesses, do you think the Death Knight can just lower his pride?
Wayne was going to talk back when he suddenly realized that yes, the Death Knight could indeed lower his pride tonight, exactly because of all these witnesses.
He bowed slightly and said humbly, “My apologies, Milord. I didn’t think it through. Please give me another chance. I promise to bring the Queen back.”
Before Auston could react, a portal opened behind Wayne, and Julia the undead horse leaped out. The Death Knight mounted his horse, following the spatial fluctuations to the demon and the two legendary mages.
Auston made a small sound of surprise, wondering why Trash Jr. was being so obedient. It was a fact that the crown was about to be placed on his head. At this critical juncture, Trash Jr. should approve of the development of the Queen being ruthlessly slaughtered by the demon familiar. He would consider Douglas’s action an assist, if anything.
