Chapter 69 The Fearful Killer
Chapter 69 The Fearful Killer
Aurée listened in stunned silence, remaining in a daze for a long time before finally drawing a conclusion:
"You mean... my husband was killed simply because he unfortunately became the object of your fabricated conflict?"
"That's right!"
"I kill you!"
Aurelia's eyes turned red, and she struggled to get up and lunge at Claude.
However, Claude easily subdued Aure's futile resistance with a simple stomp.
"You have failed, Lady Aurelia. It is a pity that you are in no condition to kill the king in your current wretched state. Besides, my Guardian Knights are right outside the door. I only need to give the word, and they will rush into the room and cut you to pieces."
Upon hearing this, Aure laughed, like a cunning fox.
Claude frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's a pity for me, Claude," Aurelia said, "that I have completed my assassination!"
"What did you do!"
Claude froze, then extended his sword forward slightly, widening the gash on Aurelia's throat and drawing blood down her collarbone.
Aurelia said:
"If the Sinclair family craves chaos so much, then the pirates currently lurking in the southern waters are undoubtedly a godsend for you, aren't they?"
"..."
"The Royal Ministry of Magic, the Alchemy Guild, and the Wizarding Guild have all sent reinforcements to this battle. Most of the Royal Alchemists have been deployed, leaving the alchemy workshop beneath Platinum Castle short-handed. If one or two bottles of alchemical potions were to be lost now, it probably wouldn't be discovered quickly,"
Aurelia's smile was both confident and playful.
"Alchemy potions are powerful, but they have many side effects. However, there is one kind of medicine that, even with its side effects, will hardly trouble alchemists. My esteemed King, can you guess what that medicine is?"
Claude's eyes widened in horror as he looked at Aurelia:
"poison!"
"Hahaha," Aure laughed, "As expected of the Sinclair family, renowned for their wisdom. You should also know that there is no antidote for alchemical elixirs!"
"But if you want to enter my bedchamber, you must personally taste my dinner!" Claude still seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
Aulete, however, calmly said:
"I'd gladly go to hell just to kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Claude's expression turned ferocious.
The sword slipped from his fingertips, and he reached out with both hands, scratching bloody marks on his throat.
It seems the poison has taken effect.
"Help! Someone help!"
Claude tried to call out, but his voice was muffled deep in his throat.
Even Aurelia had to strain her ears to barely hear clearly.
Aure slowly stood up from the ground and picked up the fallen sword.
Claude's eyes widened in terror, and he began to flee into the distance, using both his hands and feet.
Aure followed slowly behind, unhurried.
Finally, Claude crawled to the edge of the bed, with nowhere left to escape.
The only way was to prop myself up and sit on the floor with my back against the cabinet.
He looked at Aurelia unwillingly and asked in an almost inaudible voice:
"You...why are you alright?"
"I told you, I stole one or two bottles of medicine. One bottle was poison, and the other was a suppressant."
The inhibitory solution can delay the onset of action of other alchemical drugs.
But Aurelia knew that this was just a delaying tactic; she herself would eventually succumb to the poison.
Aurelia leaned down and said to Claude:
"You know what, Bob Capello, that's me playing him."
Aurelia saw the confusion in Claude's eyes and realized he hadn't understood, so she explained:
"I instigated Mitchell to go to war with the Highlands, and then personally killed him in the Kew Gardens prison. That means the Mitchell you see later is also an imposter. This means I was the one who killed Gene!"
Even the most foolish person should understand what kind of power Aure possesses.
Claude did understand.
Because Ori saw that Claude's eyes were filled with anger and resentment, just like Ori had been before.
Aulet smiled; she had been waiting for this moment for almost eight years!
She raised her sword, intending to kill Claude.
Although she also wanted to watch Claude die slowly in agony, she would like to see Natalie one more time if she could.
Aurelia herself doesn't have long to live, but if it's soon...
If only I could go back to the library...
Therefore, she couldn't afford to waste any time; the nanny could come in at any moment...
wet nurse?
Aurelia suddenly realized that there was another baby in the room!
"Whoa! Waaaaah!"
The baby's cries were deafening, echoing throughout the entire palace.
Aurelia's heart skipped a beat.
The Sinclair family... only one left!
If we let her live, if we let her know what Aurelius had done...
This will inevitably plant the seeds of hatred in her heart!
Aurelia is dead, but Natalie will live on.
If this girl then transfers her hatred to Natalie...
No! Aure shook her head repeatedly, "I absolutely won't allow it!"
"Wow!"
The baby's cries disturbed Aurelia's peace of mind.
Aurée raised her sword and thrust it toward the baby.
The Lord will never forgive those who kill infants.
However, Aure had long been prepared to go to hell.
"No……"
At this moment, Claude, who was leaning against the headboard, spoke weakly.
Aurée pretended not to hear and took another step forward.
"She is innocent..."
"My two sons are innocent too!"
After a furious roar, Aure clenched her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"But...you also killed...my two sons..."
Aure didn't argue; she simply closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, they were cold.
The cold glint of the sword tip aimed directly at the crying baby girl beneath the silk quilt:
"Whoa!"
Those who fear killing cannot seek revenge!
A fear that a murderer cannot... seek revenge?
"You also have... a daughter..."
Claude's voice was getting softer and softer, and Aure felt a surge of resentment in her heart. Damn it, why didn't he just whisper it so softly that I couldn't hear him at all!
"Wow!"
The baby girl flailed her tiny arms, and a few slender strands of hair grew on the top of her head.
She looks exactly like Natalie when she was born.
Her delicate fingertips accidentally touched the blade of the sword, instantly creating a cut that drew out a thin stream of blood.
"Wow!"
The baby girl's cries became even louder as a result.
"What was her name again... Ugh... I've seen her before... Oh, right, Natalie... She's a kind girl... I'm absolutely certain... Lady Aurelia... For her sake... she wouldn't want you to do this..."
Those who fear killing cannot seek revenge!
I am no longer afraid of killing!
"Wow!"
"don't want……"
"For Natalie..."
To shut up!
Fear of murderers!
Fearless of killing!
Wow!
No!
daughter!
Shut up! All of you, shut up!
kill!
Whoa!
Natalie!
For her!
kill!
kill!
kill!
