Chapter 7

After a few gentle knocks on the door, the door of the study was pushed open.

The man who was thinking raised his head and looked at the visitor: Edward, you are here.

The gray-haired middle-aged man bent down modestly: Good morning, Master Cizel.

It has been said that we don’t need to be so polite.Cizel waved his hand and signaled Edward to sit on the chair where he was headed, and I want you to kill someone for me.

Edward's expression had not changed, and there was still a smile on the corner of his lips: Listen to your orders.

Cizel stretched out his hand, holding a piece of paper between his slender fingers: Go and kill Rey, make it cleaner.

Edward was stunned: You mean...

That's right, I'm talking about the crown prince of the Kingdom of Arinan.When Cizel mentioned this name, he frowned involuntarily.

But…he is His Majesty’s fiancé.Edward was suddenly stunned, Master, you...

Cizel interrupted his cold words: Do you think Fei Lengcui still needs to maintain peace on the border through marriage?Your Majesty's engagement was a last resort, and there was a battle between Fei Lengcui and Arinan'an. Why waste a chance to get married? Fei Lengcui needs a more suitable prince.

That's right, that's my reason, Cizel thought silently in his heart.

The reason why he sent someone to assassinate Rey was definitely not because he didn't want his sister to marry that man.

From a political perspective, this engagement is indeed out of place.

When Margaret was fourteen, Queen Olilian formed the engagement for her.

At that time, Fei Lengcui was in a situation of internal and external troubles. The noble lords in the north rebelled, and neighboring countries were eyeing each other on the border.

In order to borrow Arinan's heroic soldiers, Olilian had to push her daughter out.

Margaret is the only heir of the Queen, and unless she dies in the middle, she will definitely become the ruler of Fei Lengcui.

After she married Rey, the heir she gave birth to will also inherit the throne.

That is the heir who has thrived with blood. After a hundred years, Fei Lengcui can change her surname to thrived with blood.

Olilian naturally knew what King Arinan was trying to do, but she had no other choice but to make such a tiger and wolf promise.

Afterwards, the coalition forces of the two countries went north and ended the three-year rebellion in one fell swoop.

It was in that battle that Sizel, who had just joined the army, shone brightly in that battle and became a rising star of Fei Lengcui at the age of twenty.

After the war, the relationship between Fei Lengcui and Arinan became increasingly tense.

The two countries were already equal in strength and wanted to annex each other. As early as a few years ago, there were constant wars.

And the engagement between Margaret and Rey just turned these struggles from open to secret.

But Pity Rey, the innocent idiot, had unrealistic dreams all day long, and his vicious father wanted Margaret to marry him, and he immediately died after giving birth to his heir.

Thinking of this, the cold light in Cizel's eyes became even more intense.

But Fei Lengcui cannot unilaterally tear up the engagement. The only solution is to kill Rey.

Master, is this your real idea?Edward looked at Cizel seriously.

Edward is one of the few people who can look directly at Cizel without being punished. Because of his special background, Cizel has not received much care from his parents since he was born. He was raised by Edward.

Edward was a retainer of the Gattuso family. When Cizel was young, he was responsible for taking care of the little master's daily life and protecting his personal safety.

When Cizel grew up, Edward took over all the dirty work that the little master had secretly.

He managed an elite assassination unit for Cizel, and any enemy of Cizel will be removed from this unit.

So, Edward could question it so bluntly.

Seeing that Cizel was silent, he approached a little again: Could it be that you did not make this decision because of Your Majesty?

Are you going to disobey my orders?Cizel looked at him coldly.

Edward sighed: Even if you want my life, I will offer it without hesitation.But Young Master, have you forgotten the outcome of the Master?

Cizel's father was the last Pope Alexander V. As we all know, the pope was a clergyman who converted to God, so he could not have a secular marriage.

So Alexander has no wife, but many mistresses and illegitimate children.

Among these many illegitimate children, Cizel eventually inherited the territory of the Gattuso family and became the Duke of Valentino.

This is not because Alexander loves Cizel the most, but because of Cizel’s mother.

Even if Alexander was just an ordinary nobleman, Cizel's identity as an illegitimate child would not change.

Because his mother is the queen of Feilencui, and Queen Olilian has long been married.

She and Alexander had an affair and gave birth to Cizel, a child that was not recognized by both families.

When Cizel was young, he could only meet his mother once a year.

That noble woman was so out of reach, she was graceful and charming, with the ability to attract almost all men.

Even the Pope's crown prince who was wandering in the flowers willingly became her subordinate.

Few people know that Olilian and Alexander's childhood sweethearts.

When Olilian was just a princess, she lived in her uncle's house in Gattuso for a long time.

At that time, she met Alexander, the Duke's youngest son.

As they get along over time, they fall in love.

Alexander regarded Olilian as a beacon in his life and was willing to give all of it.

But they were not married, Olilian became the queen, and Alexander put on a tutu.

The reason for all this is that Olilian, who had just ascended the throne, needed someone to invade her to the Holy See in order to cut off the Holy See's control over the royal family.

Of course, Alexander was rewarded with great rewards.

He was a natural politician and soon climbed to the peak of power and became the lord of the Holy See.

But this reward was not what Alexander hoped. He could not stand beside Olilian, but could only watch his beloved woman thrown into someone else's arms.

After that, Alexander began to spend time and show mercy everywhere.

Pain and regret lingered him, but as long as Olilian gave a little instruction, he returned to the Queen's feet like a faithful dog to eradicate all enemies for her.

And whenever he hesitates, Olilian will use the trap of love to coax him and make him happy.

Finally, he had enough dirty work for the Queen and Olilian no longer needed him.

Cizel remembers that day, Olilian handed herself a glass bottle full of poison.

Let him drink it, Cizel.The woman smiled and said, "As long as he dies, you will be the next Duke of Valentino."I know you won't hesitate, dear son.Olilian's voice was like a banshee who bewitched the world. You are the same as me, and we are all flowing with the blood of the Ester family.Nothing is more charming than power, and for this cute little guy, anything can be given up.

As you wish.Cizel smiled, Mother.

After that, Alexander died, and Olilian died.

When I learned about the death of the queen, Cizel was reading a collection of poems, which was well said.

When you extend a dagger to someone, you will eventually stab your heart.

The poison tastes very good, mother.
