The Release That Witch
Chapters 54's

Petrov did not think that he would visit Border Town again so soon.

He didn't mean to travel during the winter. In particular, he did not intend to leave his warm home when the demonic beasts invaded the countryside. However, when Duke Ryan personally gave him the mission to send this letter with warm news into the hands of the 4th Prince, he could not resist.

He must have known the contents of the letter - in fact, the entire nobility in the Kingdom of Graycastle were discussing the incredible news: The King of Graycastle had fallen for the murder committed by his eldest son, Gerald Wimbledon. As soon as the news spread, the 2nd Prince stepped forward, announcing that the Kingdom could not survive without a King. Since he was previously second in line, he was now the heir and with this would become the next King.

However, this behavior is not approved by everyone. It is said that Gerald's trial process was very strange, because during the entire interrogation, the Prince was only seen a few times, but he did not say a word and his hands were tightly tied. So, most Ministers hope to investigate the matter carefully before deciding who will inherit the throne.

It is also rumored that second son Timothy Wimbledon plays a standalone drama, in which he is the real killer and only calms down with a sad look, but is actually impatient to inherit the throne.

In the end, the debate about the perpetrator was actually meaningless. Since the 2nd Prince had the full support of the Imperial Prime Minister, he could temporarily take over the position of King, so he could still obtain the right to become the Supreme Lord in Graycastle. At the same time he took over the throne, he issued an order to recall all of his competitors - the battle for the throne had ended, so the King's sons and daughters had to return to Graycastle before the end of winter after receiving the Prince's decree. . Based on the decisions of the territory they gave over the past 6 months, the new King was then officially canonized.

Petrov was able to clearly detect the urgent atmosphere in the letter.

Through this, Timothy Wimbledon could firmly secure the throne. It all depends on the reaction of the other sons of the King. If they behaved and surrendered to fight for the throne, and returned to Graycastle, Timothy would naturally become the undisputed Wimbledon IV.

All documents sent to Border Town will be transferred through Longsong Fortress first. When Duke Ryan saw the recall order, his first reaction was to snort with contempt. The former King had always been fair to the nobles, and gave them plenty of freedom, but for the 2nd Prince, the ascension by force had to be extremely cruel. This could be seen when Gerald was sentenced to death by the guillotine, so now, no one was willing to return to Graycastle, afraid of getting the same treatment.

However, in the eyes of the six Longsong Fortress families, this was a timely order.

Two months ago, Earl Elk set an illegitimate plan into action and made Duke Ryan very unhappy, especially since the plan failed. The Prince's reaction was intense, executing Hiller Dmitry by hanging. Thus, both sides could be said to be experiencing a public and fierce conflict.

Duke Ryan originally intended to wait until the end of Demon Month so that he had the freedom to solve the terrible problem, but now he had this document. With this, he has a legal option. Roland Wimbledon was recalled by the future King, so when he left, the Border Town would naturally be owned by Duke Ryan again. However, if he did not return to Graycastle, Duke Ryan would be able to send him back by force - all under the name of the new King's banner.

In the end, the Duke did not care which hand the crown would fall into.

Thinking about his return to Border Town, Ambassador Petrov naturally felt uneasy. Last time, he had sworn that on his next visit he would bring a new trade agreement, but in the end the result was that they were attacked by the Elk Family. Now he's back, bringing bad news once again - whether it's the death of his father Wimbledon III, the new king, or a recall order, he said, Petrov believed that the 4th Prince did not want to see any of them.

Since the Kingdom of Graycastle was located in the south of the continent, the road to the Border Town went smoothly because even in winter, the river did not freeze.

From time to time, Petrov went to the window and looked outside. During the journey he did not see anyone dying, starving, or even fleeing, which signified that the Border Town had not yet fallen.

This surprised him a little. After all, the last time he visited, he saw that the wall had not been built. Petrov did not believe them too much because they built stone walls out of mud.

Then, an even more shocking situation arose, he saw a boat with the banner of Willow City hanging on its mast slowly passing through them on the right side of the river - this would usually be a familiar sight, but not during the Demon Moon ! Even when Border Town fought with demonic beasts, they could still do business? Without moving all of their mining workers to the defense, how could they withstand the brutal attacks of monsters ?!

Three days later, the Petrov ship arrived at the Border Town pier.

It was still the same dilapidated wooden dock, but now at the end was a wooden shed. After the ship docked, two guards emerged from the warehouse, staring at every movement of the crew.

Clearly, the 4th Prince did not want anyone to secretly leave the city by the river.

After being identified by the guards, someone immediately brought him a horse and then brought him to the castle while accompanied by the guards.

Just like before, Prince Roland Wimbledon met Petrov in the living room. Moreover, even though his meal time was no ordinary time, the Prince still ordered the servants to prepare an abundant meal.

Grilled ham, dried fish slices, unknown salads prepared with wild herbs, as well as butter, bread, and vegetables that could be seen at the dinner party were prepared.

It seems the Prince likes to talk about business at dinner.

While Petrov had such thoughts, his hands did not stop for a second. After all, in these past few days he had not had much chance to eat. Even his own Honeysuckle Family, when they had no dinner guests, basically only ate bread with bacon.

After dinner, dessert is served. During this time, Petrov respectfully submitted the letter.

Roland took the letter and unsealed the candle with his dinner knife. Out of sight, he took out the letter and took a quick glance, then he became stunned.

The king is dead?

Roland did not like this nominal father at all. Ever since he crossed over, he had been living in Border Town, so he had never seen his father in person, let alone in the 4th Prince's memories of his father, his father only blamed and hated him. Therefore, she felt trapped in an extremely embarrassing situation - should she put a sad expression on her face?

Reading the following content, he could smell a conspiracy. Was Wimbledon III murdered by his eldest son? Under the identity of the new King, the 2nd Prince announced the end of the battle for the throne and immediately ordered all his siblings back to Graycastle?

Roland coughed, and raised his head, only to see Petrov's apologetic eyes.

So, he thought, I was worried Duke Ryan would be happy no matter what I did. No matter whether I obey the new King's orders or not, both are their own dilemmas.

He did not bring a sale and purchase agreement, but brought a bad newspaper. I think he feels very sorry at the moment. Roland silently smiled, then folded the letter again, "I understand."

"Well, Your Majesty, then what will you ..."

"Even if I want to leave, I have to wait until the end of the Demon Moon. Now in the ice and snow, if I leave, then what will the people in Border Town do?"

If it was anyone else, Petrov would definitely say something like, "Don't worry, my Longsong Fortress will help you handle this situation properly", or any other diplomatic response. But in front of the 4th Prince whom he had only seen twice, he could not speak carelessly. This was the first time Petrov had hated his own identity as an ambassador. Finally he simply nodded, "I understand; should I give an answer for you?"

In response, Roland called his maid to bring along a pen and paper. He wrote a short reply and then sealed it with his own wax and stamp, and handed it to Petrov. The last one glanced at the envelope. It was clearly written for Prince Timothy Wimbledon of Graycastle on the cover, not King Wimbledon IV.

Petrov thought, Roland has made his statement
