Crown of Chaos

Valley calendar year 1361, May 16, afternoon.

Cormyr, Anaheim Manor outside the city of Susal, the capital of the Purple Dragon Kingdom.

Manakorn-Anaheim was sitting in his office, pressing down the blinds with his fingers and peering outside.

He doesn't have to do this, but human nature is to like illegal surveillance and illegal entry and exit. This is something deeply embedded in human DNA.

A ritual to sacrifice the devil is going on.

Some of his former subordinates were thrown into a bloody and cruel scene. Around them, like the singing of birds in spring, Son of Bane heard the screams, begging for mercy and whines of whips, torture tools and dying people. There were voices, and some people were pleading hard for their loved ones to survive.

Manakorn bit his lip tightly. Many of them were people he knew, and their voices turned into the sound of wind in the bright spring light of the afternoon and blew into his ears.

Many of these people were once friends and loyal subordinates of the Son of Bane.

Yes, friend, Benn Shenzi was surprised to find that he still remembered this word. Looking back on the past, they used to be so beautiful. They came together because of the same goal and the same dream. He once expressed passion speech, these people cheered along with his slogans at the bar of the bar.

It's a pity that these people did not choose to stand with him after all.

Then, they are enemies.

Manakorn watched these people collapse on the altar full of blood, and watched the devils disguised as humans being executed happily. The devils were not satisfied with killing, they preferred to indescribably torture and then take away Take the mortal soul.

This is a deal between him and the great devil Bayer, who calls himself the legal lord of Avernus, the Hell Fiend, and this is just a deposit.

Scars, holes, and blood flowed all over the ritual altar, and the devils did all kinds of evil.

"No..." Manakorn whispered: "Dirty bastard from the Nine Hells, monster, I love you so much."

The devils succeeded in their request, but this does not mean that Son of God Bane has surrendered to the devil. He believes that this is just a deal where everyone gets what he needs. When the matter is over, sooner or later, he will make the devil pay a sufficient price.

As for these unsteady subordinates and colleagues, Manakorn could only say sorry in his heart.

These are necessary sacrifices.

Such torture in the manor is a bit too cruel, but it can also effectively deter those who still have doubts in their hearts.

Let them learn to fear so that they will be grateful.

"Glory to Bane!" Manakorn saluted the victims and closed the blinds.

"Dong dong~" The door rang.

"Please come in."

His deputy, Admiral Dönitz, squeezed in through the crack of the door holding many documents: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency."

"You're late, Erich." Divine Son Ben said calmly: "Did something happen?"

"The breeder found me and unfortunately told me, Moody, that the big golden retriever you saw that day passed away suddenly, so I was delayed for a while." Dönitz said apologetically: "This was not supposed to happen. It should be my business, but didn’t you say that day that this is a good dog? The breeder told me that he was too sad and needed to take a few days off.”

"It's such a pity that we lost a respectable comrade." Manakorn rubbed his eyes tiredly. This was a trivial matter and he didn't care: "Okay, are they all here?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, the forces supporting our side are gathering at Madam Yew's Assembly Hall!"

Dönitz sent the list.

Participating in this event are:

The second and fifth city defense camps of the capital of Susar.

Cormyr IX Legion.

Cormyr Marine Corps, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Regiments.

A small number of Cormyr court bureaucrats, headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

A private army of Anaheim led by Ranger Andreas.

189 Purple Dragon Knights.

A private army of the Duke of Marelli.

With these alone, Son of Bane already controlled nearly one-third of the army in Susar. Manakorn flipped through the list and nodded with satisfaction, but he soon found that the name was not found.

"Where's Disma?"

"Sir Disma is out on official business and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Damn, this guy's character is really weird. I invited him many times with good wine and meat, and I said all the good things. Didn't he already agree to join us? Why did he suddenly go back on his word?" Son of God Ben said longly. He breathed a sigh of relief, hating Disma's vacillation.

He hated this kind of vacillating subordinates the most.

What he didn't know was that Disma had actually made up his mind to join his army, but after seeing Aaron's power, Echo of Khorne, and Skarbrand in the Battle of Arabelle, Disma decided to join him. Considers him worthy of allegiance to a higher being.

At this time, it was not the time to pay attention to the absence of one or two people. God Son Bane let his loyal subordinates come in.

Soon, the office was filled with people.

"Neither His Royal Highness the Regent nor His Royal Highness the Duke knows anything about our plan."

"So, we have a chance of winning, please believe in this! Our plan will definitely succeed."

"It's time to finally take this step. Weak good gods and hypocritical princesses. These creatures have plagued our country for a long time. They have infiltrated our people and eroded our culture. They have allowed us to rot and will The once brave nation of purple dragons has become a flock of lambs.”

"Now, we are going to change this country, we are going to clear out the rotten parts of it, eliminate the infection by any means necessary, this is just the beginning, I believe that one day, justice will return to this land and Cormyr will be free of The poison that tortures her!”

"All glory to Cormier!"

Everyone standing in the office was breathing much heavier. They saluted, with fanatical looks in their eyes.

"All glory to Cormier!"

…………

At the same time, in the dressing room inside the palace, Aaron was also making final preparations.

He took a half-day off today and gave instructions on everything. He had already made arrangements for what everyone should do and how to do it.

The progress of the Weird Xiling is not smooth. Benn Shenzi is really good at organizing skills. Different people and different subordinates only have a part of the information. Aaron can only do the best within his own capabilities. good.

Now, we are just waiting for the dinner at La Villette Manor in the evening.

There was no good banquet, but he had to go to the banquet.

Not only to uproot the son of Bane, but also for the smooth implementation of his King Hunter plan.

He must stay with the princess, and all outside matters can only be left to Eleanor. Miss Priest has been following him for so long, so she should be able to get things done.

Aaron was still thinking about any omissions in his plan, and Alice Searle's impatient voice sounded: "Aaron, do you dare to be distracted when you are around me?"

"Sorry, Your Highness, there is something going on at home." Aaron could only apologize.

Fortunately, Alice Searle didn't pay much attention. She took out a high-end black and white palace aristocratic dress with lantern sleeves, tight-fitting breeches, and black boots from the dressing room and threw it in front of Aaron.

"Put it on and let me see."

"yes."

Aaron put on this suit of clothes. The clothes were extremely smooth and the fabric was very good. At first glance, it was not extraordinary and he had no idea where it came from.

He was about to go inside and change his clothes, but Alice Serre grabbed his sleeve coldly: "Right here, change!"

"Your Highness?" Aaron thought to himself about this female gangster!

"Why are you shy? It's not like you haven't seen it before." The princess raised her chin: "What's wrong with showing it to me? Take it off, I like to see it."

Aaron didn't say anything else, he changed into this black and white aristocratic dress in front of Alice Serre.

Aaron is handsome and handsome in the dress. Not only does he have a charming appearance, but he also has a hint of violent charm that makes Alice Serre want to wear it. However, this dress is a little too big and does not fit particularly well.

"Your Highness, I've changed it." Aaron adjusted his sleeves: "It seems, a little bigger?"

Alice Serre looked at her from top to bottom, looking at her repeatedly. Her originally cold and arrogant eyes softened a bit at this moment, and she nodded lightly: "It's okay, but you are not strong enough to hold it up."

"Whose clothes are these?" Aaron asked doubtfully.

Alice Sayre asked Aaron to turn around in a circle, and after looking at him carefully, she nodded: "This is my father's clothes, the dress he likes to wear when attending banquets."

The clothes of former King Assan IV?

"You can wear this suit to the banquet tonight." Alice Sayre stopped Aaron's words with her eyes: "This is an order!"

"yes."

At night, La Villette Manor is one of the largest manors in Sousal. Many noble activities usually take place here. It is said that the largest venue can accommodate about a thousand people.

The manor was owned by Madame de La Villette, the widow of a marquis, who inherited the manor after her husband was killed in the Catastrophe of the Saints.

She opened most of the estate for commercial activities and noble interactions to maintain daily expenses.

Aaron arrived at the gate of the manor first. When the doorman saw Aaron's appearance, he hurriedly greeted him, welcomed him inside, and finally stopped in front of an oversized wreath arch.

The entire scene inside was magnificent, with countless luxurious crystal lamps decorating the luxury and style of the banquet hall. There were already many people present, but most of them looked to be in their thirties to fifties, and most of them were aristocratic men. Like Aaron, they all wore aristocratic dresses with lantern sleeves, their hair was neatly combed or they wore hats, while the ladies were dressed like ladies, some wore priest robes, some wore evening dresses, and there were not a few, all dressed up. They are all glamorous and look like successful people.

Aaron immediately caused a sensation when he arrived. He was welcomed by almost everyone. Many people in the banquet hall stood together holding red wine glasses as if they were familiar.

"Look, look, who's here? Aaron Salian, the leader of the Five Heroes of Arabel, Manuel's son?"

A middle-aged man came to Aaron surrounded by many followers. He took the initiative to reach out his hand to Aaron: "Welcome, very welcome, Aaron, can I call you like this?"

This man looks about forty years old, with slightly sparse hair, combed into a sleek back. He is wearing a loose dress and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. The small glasses are full of love and recognition.

This man is Duke Caspar, the son-in-law designated by King Assan IV, the husband of the late Crown Princess, and the brother-in-law of the Princess Regent.

The other party was very bookish, and his speech was very organized and gentle. Seeing that Aaron was a little dazed, he continued to smile and said: "Oh, you may not recognize me yet, I am Caspar, now you do Bar?"

"Hello, His Highness Duke Casper." Aaron nodded and put on a business smile. He subconsciously searched for the figure of the Son of God Bane, but did not find it.

"Oh, young people are coming in waves now, leaving us old people no chance to show ourselves~" Duke Caspar smiled naturally: "I think it's time for me to retire?"

"I'm very optimistic about you, young man. I think it's too condescending for a talented person like you to be confined to the palace as a valet?" The Duke continued: "Your talent should be used in a higher place. I That’s what I thought.”

"Your Highness values ​​​​it, Aaron is afraid." Aaron responded casually and heard the exclamations from everyone in the audience.

"Look, the regent is here!"

"The fire-haired lady is on top. She is so beautiful."

"Shh, keep your voice down, be respectful!"

There was a sudden commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and many people were exclaiming in admiration. What was even more exaggerated was the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground. Aaron's eyes gradually brightened as he followed the gaze of everyone gathered.

Her brilliant golden hair flowed down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her beautiful face was lightly painted with powder and eyeliner. Her long eyelashes flickered and looked extremely soft. Her bright red lips made her skin, which was originally like gelatin, transparent and pure. , but it also adds a sense of vitality and vitality. It is not as plain and cold as before. The earrings, as clean and round as white jade, are decorated with two pendant-style crystal earrings in the shape of a crescent moon, and two crystal earrings are embedded on them. The petal-shaped fiery ruby ​​highlights the elegance of the woman and complements her bright red lips.

A set of golden peacock shadow thorn embroidered long dress adds a unique charm to Alice Sayre's body. The beautiful legs under the long skirt are set off by a pair of ultra-thin black pearlescent stockings, which further shows the smoothness, tenderness and tenderness of the beautiful legs. Like a dream.

On her feet, she wears a pair of open-toed black patent leather high-heeled shoes. The high-heeled shoes have a lace-up design. There is a thin strap tied to the woman's white and round ankles and toes. She wears bright red cardamom nail polish. Wrapped in black pearlescent silk, it looks very charming.

The woman who entered the scene was full of aura, and her coolness revealed nobility. Her elegant pace did not stop when anyone came forward to interrupt or say hello, she just nodded constantly or smiled politely.

However, when faced with her gaze, these male creatures often did not dare to express their anger, and they were just submissive.

The nickname "The Princess of Steel" didn't come for nothing!

Alice Sel was not very interested in these people either. Her eyes turned around in the venue and quickly locked onto Aaron who was talking to Duke Casper. Aaron noticed that the princess was looking at him and immediately He apologized to Duke Caspar and walked towards her direction.

Under the gaze of countless people, Aaron came to the front of the princess. The woman's beautiful eyes were staring at the man in front of her without blinking. Although she looked the same as before, some people could feel the difference in her body. The cold aura seemed to have completely dissipated at this moment, as if he had become a different person.

The woman raised her arm and didn't say anything, but Aaron understood immediately and immediately stepped forward to hold the woman's arm. The two walked side by side to a place with fewer people and sat down slowly, and then the gazes around them dispersed. .

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful today!" Aaron praised sincerely: "Not even the pearl in Long Lake can match your beauty."

"What are you talking about with your brother-in-law?" Alice Serre said coldly.

"Just chatting about the past and some delicious food." Aaron tried to change the topic.

"What are you talking about? Tell me!" The woman in front of her looked directly at Aaron, the domineering look in her eyes overflowing directly.

Aaron had no choice but to repeat what he and Duke Caspar said, and then Aliceser put away her gaze: "You are mine, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Alice Ser was satisfied, and the unparalleled regent princess stood up: "Follow me to the seat, my black staff, let's see what Duke Marelli and Duke Casper are playing."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am by your side." Aaron took a deep breath and stood up with the princess.

So, here we go!

At the same time, in an alley not far from La Villette Manor.

The seven men in black robes are also ready.

Six killers led by Cyric's subordinate, the vengeful executioner Peake, had received orders from Dark Sun to lurk here early.

Today, both Manakorn, the son of Benn, and Aaron, the son of Baal, will die here!

Because this is the supreme will of the dark sun!
