Chapter 571: Bk3: Ch– 124 Crowell(pt-1)

Just a few hours ago, the main hall was beautiful. Right now, the whole site is in ruins. The black knights made the guests round up in corners. The men who tried to defend themselves were taken in custody and put in a guarded room before injuring them enough, so they did not try to attack.

The most effective way to stop them from striking again was the hostages; taking the Empress and her sister as hostages made it easy to get the guests to stop fighting. The knights are loyal to their leader, making it even harder for them when they see the Emperor being hit. Nicholas was taken to another room behind the castle, but not before he was stabbed in the leg. Sir Aldrich, injured in the arm, tried to tie up the leg as best as he could, but it was still throbbing like mad.

Ciaran was knocked out. Some of the guards were already dead on the floor.

“It won't be long before you join them. Nicholas Leopold.” Duke Crowell stood facing the Emperor from above.
