Chapter 265 Iron Mask Assassin
"Okay. Present the things." Seeing that his eldest son said so, the Beast King asked Shi Miye to hand over the things to him.
It was a small box with a herald of heralds symbolizing the royal family of the Orcs. Although it looked no different from an ordinary box, if you are not careful, the ban on it will be triggered.
This is specially set by the third prince, and only the Beast King himself can open it.
But the Beast King took the box transferred to him by the crown prince, and without even taking a look, he placed it directly on the table beside him: "If there is nothing else, just leave."
Seeing Shi Miye and the other two were still standing there, the Beast King said sternly: "I told you to retreat, don't you understand?"
The Beast King's roar was deafening, which could scare people's heart disease.
Shi Miye and the other two did not dare to stay here, and immediately left the room.
Until the Beast King's voice was no longer buzzing in his ears, the three of them had already walked far away. At this moment, only the servants were left in the palace doing daily cleaning.
"The father suddenly got angry just now, I hope you don't get used to it." The crown prince felt a little embarrassed.
Shi Ziye and the other two dared to care about these things: "Where is it, Your Majesty the Beast King is very energetic. But what Your Highness said, Your Majesty the Beast King has become weird recently, which means something like this sudden anger at people?"
"Yes," the crown prince hesitated for a while, suddenly lowered his voice, and then looked around to make sure no one else was paying attention to them. "Actually, I shouldn't have said this to outsiders, but if you really want to continue listening, you promise me that I must not leak this matter."
Although the two young men wondered why the crown prince was suddenly willing to mention the whole story, they couldn't help but feel curious and naturally agreed.
When the crown prince heard the promises from both of them, he told the cause.
It turned out that as early as the Beast King's birthday several months ago, according to the Beast King's habit, they would hunt at the nearest hunting grounds.
Even though the Beast King's body is not as strong as before, only the Beast King is not sick, this activity will be held as usual.
However, it was at that time that an accident occurred that no one could have imagined.
During the hunting journey, the Beast King met his favorite prey. In excitement, he left his guard team who followed him and rushed into the depths of the forest alone.
The guards followed and chased into the forest, but the forest seemed to have been cast with spells and could not distinguish the direction.
When I found the Beast King again, I don’t know how long it took.
It was the abnormal noise from somewhere in the forest that attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone found the source of the sound, they found that in addition to the Beast King who fell to the ground, there were also the fifth prince, several ministers who rushed over with him, and a small number of soldiers.
The strangest thing is that the general present was pressing against the neck of a man with an iron mask. His hands were tied behind him and his burly body fell to the ground.
However, it is not so much a mask as a helmet, except for some parts, all wrapped in metal, and their faces cannot be seen clearly.
The crown prince asked in confusion. He didn't understand what was going on, so he walked straight to the fifth prince and asked.
The fifth prince sneered and looked at his elder brother, as if he was looking at the commander behind the scenes.
After all, once the Beast King dies, the crown prince is the legitimate new Beast King.
But the crown prince himself knew very well that he was definitely not himself or sent someone to assassinate the Beast King. First of all, the throne belonged to him sooner or later. Secondly, he has been waiting for the current Beast King to die for decades. It is not that he can't wait for a few more years, so there is no need to take risks.
"Who is that assassin?" Shi Ziye and the others were curious about it.
"I don't know," the crown prince's answer was ambiguous. "The iron mask cannot be opened no matter what method it is, just like a mask is born on the face of that person, so I don't know who the person under the mask is."
After pausing, the crown prince expressed his own speculation: "The only thing that can be suspected now is that all this was done by the demon clan. I believe you have also heard that the news of catching spies from the demon clan is not as exaggerated as you hear, but our orcs are indeed threatened by the demon clan. It is not surprising that the father will be targeted, and it is not surprising that he will be the target of assassination."
"Your Highness, I'm blunt, why do you believe that assassination was done by the demon clan? It's clear that your royal family or a high-powered minister has a better chance of attacking." Shi Miye raised his own question.
The crown prince naturally understood that Miya Ye was doubting whom, but he could only smile bitterly: "Who said he had never doubted it? The reason why the assassin was thrown into prison was not because he could not find evidence."
"Isn't this the crown prince?" At this moment, a lazy voice came from not far away.
