Chapter 195: Head Count
"Your Highness?" Dominic called.
"I’m good. Viscount Boscom is safe." Alexis replied.
There were bodies all over the room, and far too many of them in finery. The murder of dozens of foreign Royals and higher Nobles would not go over well, and Dominic didn’t know what was going to happen now.
Would they place the blame all on Prince Kaizon? Would they join the war against Dagos? Realistically, the majority of the country didn’t have anything worth taking, and it would cost them more than they would get back.
But would any of them be willing to support Viscount Boscom?
If he couldn’t provide effective security for formal events, could he be trusted as a Monarch? But there might be more happening in the city than they knew about.
Princess Alexis moved between the bodies, healing those who were still breathing, as did a few other Noble Ladies who had chosen the path of a Priestess. It didn’t appear that there were any other Paladins in the room, but they were uncommon outside Cygnia.
Haggard looking Royal Guards ran in a few minutes later, both survivors of the detachments sent by other nations, and the Dagos Royal Guard members who had been stationed elsewhere in the Castle.
"General, the threat appears to be neutralized. There is no sign of Kaizon in his quarters, or anywhere else in the Palace. However, the Cygnia Army has sent a cavalry regiment into the city." A Guard General announced.
Prince Alex frowned and shook his head. "There hasn’t been any action within the city, and nobody has attempted to leave. If he was in the Palace, he should still be here somewhere."
