Chapter 525: Delivering the Letter

When Lulansi's letter was delivered to Wubei Territory by a Letter Bird, both Luoning and Tangmu had already left Wubei Territory and headed for Miwu City.

Although Aierlong was wholeheartedly devoted to the creation of Magic Potion and did not know much about politics, he still found the key information in Lulansi's letter, which had not stated things explicitly—

Someone wanted to take advantage of the King's accident to deal with Luoning.

"It is just a pity that the letter arrived a day late."

Aierlong dared not be negligent; he immediately had someone fetch Dawei and ordered him to take the letter and ride a Griffin to rush to Miwu City immediately.

"Governor, there is a matter that needs to be reported to you."

Kelami walked quickly into Aierlong's office.

This lady, who had followed Luogena to follow Luoning, was now not only a mother of a child but also the sheriff of Wubei Territory.

Recently, because Blanche was pregnant, Luoning had arranged for her and Mixi to stay by Blanche's side.

"Oh, it's Kelami, what is the matter?"

"The Kingdom has arranged for three Griffin Knights to come over, and the Lady is currently receiving them."

"Hmm?"

Aierlong stood up with a start; since it concerned Blanche, he had to take it seriously.

Moreover, he had just learned that His Majesty was injured, and now there were Griffin Knights from the Kingdom coming over; could it be that the situation of His Majesty Bruno was not good?

"Did Buluoer come?" he asked.

"No, two of them are Mixi's former partners, and one of them is a newly joined member of the Royal Griffin Knights; Buluoer did not come."

Aierlong sensed something amiss.

Why did these three not come to Zhaozebao first, but instead went directly to the Magic Academy?

This indicated that the other party knew Blanche's location, from which it could be inferred that there were spies from the Kingdom in Wubei Territory.

However, this was not strange.

Wubei Territory not only accepted the commoners sent by Bruno but also had all kinds of people coming to join them, and there were students from all over in the Supernatural Academy.

Among so many people, it was not strange to have some spies from the royal family.

Furthermore, although Blanche was a Princess, she was now a Duchess and also the master of the territory.

It seemed reasonable for these three Griffin Knights to visit the Duchess directly instead of coming to find him, the Governor.

"Let's go, let's go and see!"

The more Aierlong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he immediately mounted a Griffin and flew toward the academy.

At this time, Blanche, accompanied by Mixi and Ruige, was receiving the distinguished guests from her maiden home.

She knew Wunuo and Lauren; back then, Buluoer had taken Mixi and these two to accompany her to Wushan Castle to see Luoning.

Blanche was very happy to see her former companions and chatted for a few moments before asking about their purpose.

"Duchess, this is a letter written to you by your mother, Queen Wensha; she hopes that you will set off immediately after seeing the letter and go to the Jinyu Palace with us."

"Oh?"

Blanche took the letter in surprise, unfolded it, and saw that it was indeed the handwriting of her mother, Wensha, which she was very familiar with.

But the content of the letter made her face change.

"How is that possible? The defenses of the Jinyu Palace are so complete, how could Father be seriously injured by an assassin?"

What was written on the letter was precisely that Bruno was seriously injured and dying, and he hoped to see his children before he died; it specifically pointed out that he most wanted to see his youngest daughter, Blanche.

Over the years, although it could not be said that Bruno had taken care of Blanche meticulously, at least he had considered things for her in every aspect.

Even when she bore a bad reputation and affected the royal family's prestige, this father of hers had never been as harsh to her as Jialete.

Moreover, in the marriage between Aoduoyin and the Wushan Family, it was precisely Bruno's support that allowed her to become the Duchess she was today and have such an excellent partner.

It could be said that the father, Bruno, held a high position in Blanche's heart, and she also respected him very much.

So when Blanche saw the four words "seriously injured and dying," she was burning with anxiety.

"It is said that the assassin can step on the air and fly; he came down from the sky, and the Guards could not react at all."

Wunuo said heavily: "His strength is extremely strong; even Lord Buluoer was defeated by the other party in one blow!"

Lauren also said: "Lady, the King's injuries are very serious. If it is convenient, you should return with us as soon as possible. It would be best to have the Magic Master Aierlong go together; perhaps His Majesty can still be saved!"

Blanche's heart tightened, and she immediately nodded, "I will go find Aierlong right now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from outside.

"Lady, I have already arrived."

Aierlong jumped off the Griffin, walked quickly into the living room, and bowed slightly to Blanche.

"I heard that distinguished guests from Wangdu have arrived, and as the Governor of Wubei Territory, I failed to fulfill my duty to welcome them; I hope the Lady will not blame me!"

Blanche said hurriedly: "Sir, I need your help!"

She recounted what Wunuo and the others had said, which caused Aierlong to frown.

"His Majesty was assassinated?"

He asked in disbelief: "But the intelligence I received was that His Majesty only injured himself because he did not control his Battle Technique well while practicing, and he only needs to rest for a period of time."

"The Jinyu Palace does indeed say so to the outside world, but that is just a temporary statement to avoid panic."

Wunuo said: "Two days have passed since the assassination, and His Majesty has not appeared; I am afraid this matter will soon be impossible to hide."

Aierlong pondered and nodded.

No wonder things were not very peaceful outside; I am afraid they wanted to stir up some trouble by taking advantage of the accident to His Majesty the King.

In this way, it was very necessary to try to save Bruno, and it was also in the interest of the Conqueror Duke's territory.

"Alright, may the Lord of Light protect His Majesty!"

Aierlong turned to Blanche and said: "Lady, I will have Kaierluosi take me to the Jinyu Palace; leave the matter of treating His Majesty to me. Your health is important, so you do not need to make the trip as well."

"No, I am going!"

Blanche shook her head, "Kaierluosi flies very steadily, and it won't take much time, it's fine."

"But you..."

Mixi also whispered a reminder from the side: "My Lady, the Duke said it is best if you do not leave Wubei Territory."

Blanche's eyes turned slightly red, a flash of hesitation crossing her face, but she said, "However, that is my father; I cannot hear of this and act as if I heard nothing."

"If he cannot be saved, I might at least see him one last time, so I won't have a lifelong regret!"

Mixi and Aierlong wanted to say something more, but they did not know how to say it.

Indeed, as a child, with one's father on the verge of death, who with the means would not go back?

Furthermore, they were not all-knowing, and Jinyu Palace was the home where Blanche grew up, not some place of deep water and scorching fire; what risk could there be in returning?

"Alright, I will go with you!"

Aierlong nodded, "I will go find Kaierluosi; you wait for me here. Regiment Commander Ruige, you arrange for someone to notify the Duke."

"That is unnecessary, Mr. Aierlong."

Baobo said: "The Griffin Knights have already headed to the various noble fiefs to inform everyone of this matter. In a few days, they will all gather at Jinyu City; Miwu City is also within the scope of our notifications."

"It doesn't matter, you send your messages, and we will send ours."

Aierlong gave Ruige a look, and the latter understood immediately.

It was just that they never expected, and even Baobo and the others who came to deliver the message did not know, that the talk of injuring the body through practicing Battle Technique and being critically wounded and waiting for treatment were all false news.

Auduin V, His Majesty King Bruno, had already died long ago. (End of chapter)
