The banquet will not stop just because there are a few missing people, it will only become more and more lively as time goes by.

The nobles exchanged cups and cups, making a lot of noise.

Leya sat back on the chair, upset by the noise, drank all the wine in her glass, and planned to get up and leave.

Her husband Jero was sitting in a chair boredly, playing with his knife and fork.

Rhea didn't allow him to drink, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to go to bed at night.

"Sir, have a drink!"

The male attendant approached with a wine bottle and whispered persuasion.

Jero said impatiently: "Go away and don't bother me!"

Smelling the aroma of the wine, he felt like there were roundworms crawling around in his abdomen, and his heart was itching unbearably.

Shaking his head, Jero stared at the table, his eyes suddenly startled.

He saw the footman's shoes.

To be precise, a pair of exquisite moccasin boots.

These were not boots that a squire could afford.

If you look closely, you can see that the boots are stained with dark red traces.

Jero frowned deeply.

He recognized that dark red color, the color of dried blood.

Raising his head, Jero stared at the male attendant's face.

The other person lowered his head, as if he didn't want anyone to see his face.

Feeling his scrutiny, the male attendant slowly raised his head and smiled at him.

"Lord Jero, long time no see!"

That was the face of a young man, and Jero was extremely familiar with it.

"Arnold!!"

Jero slammed the table and stared at the other party in shock and anger.

Arnold was a squire from Runestone City. He went to the Eagle's Nest City not long ago to question Jenny's dukedom, but he disappeared after being driven away.

When he called out his name, Arnold smiled sinisterly, turned around and ran away.

Jero quickly shouted: "Guard! There is a traitor in the castle, catch him!"

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

Plop——

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with his feet on the table and a drink from a wine bottle fell to the ground, his body limp.

The person sitting next to him pushed him on the head.

However, he saw strands of black blood coming out of the other party's mouth, exuding a strong fishy smell.

"The wine is poisonous!!"

In an instant, someone shouted loudly and overturned the desk in front of him.

Thump thump thump…

As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled sound one after another.

Black blood kept pouring out of someone's mouth, they were strangling their necks with ferocious expressions, and fell to the ground helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of corpses appeared in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Jero's eyes were splitting and he turned his head in horror.

Next to her, Leya's upper body was slumped on the dining table, her body twitching and making painful hoarse sounds.

Apparently, she was also poisoned.

"Leya!!"

Jero was so frightened that he quickly picked up his wife and shook her like crazy.

He is Leya's cousin, and he has liked his dashing cousin since he was a child.

As an adult, Rhea married Prince Daemon of the royal family.

He waited hard for more than ten years before marrying Leya.

They just had sex yesterday and hadn't had time to be more tender.

"No! Leya, don't let anything happen to you..."

Jero was shaking violently and was on the verge of collapse.

The old gods did not favor him.

Leya opened her mouth wide, black blood overflowed, and her bloodshot eyes bulged.

Soon, her neck tilted, her kicking legs stopped, and she lost her breath.

"No! No no!!"

Seeing his lover die in his arms, Jero was extremely desperate and helplessly wailed.

He didn't even have a chance to express his final regrets to Leya.

Rhea died just like that.

It's painful to die!

"Draw your weapons and run!"

A few people didn't have time to drink, so they drew their weapons and planned to push open the castle door and escape.

During the operation, more people died of the poison and died tragically on the dining table.

Wow…

A dozen big men wearing animal skins ran out of the darkness, wielding sticks and axes to kill the survivors.

Arnold was hiding behind the pillars in the hall, holding a wine bottle in his hand, looking crazy: "If you don't help me, I am the heir to the Eagle's Nest City, and you deserve to die!"

"Beast! Bastard!"

Jero's eyes were red, he hugged Leya's body tightly, and stared at the murderer fiercely.

He and Leya had only been married for one day, and it was this bastard who poisoned his newlywed wife.

"Leya! Just wait for me, and I'll make him pay for your life!"

Jero stood up tremblingly, his body unable to move normally due to grief, and he tremblingly picked up a dead man's sword.

Arnold was startled and hurriedly called to the people of the Gaoshan clan: "Kill him, someone come and kill him!"

More than a dozen mountain clans looked back at him and unanimously chose to ignore him.

A fool who leads the way will die if he dies.

One of them grabbed a piece of mutton chop and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Go and open the door and notify others to attack."

"Go away! If you want to go, don't order me!"

Another Gaoshan clan cursed when he opened his mouth and walked towards the few survivors with weapons in hand.

"Kill them!"

A canyon.

Rhaegar rode his white horse and led the team into the narrow valley mouth.

Suddenly, he shuddered and felt a chill running down his spine.

The sudden feeling made him feel at a loss.

"what happened?"

Rhaegar lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves, and the fine hairs on his arms stood up.

This has never happened to him.

The team kept moving forward, Rhaegar was puzzled and looked up at the sky.

Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.

But there was no dark figure of the glutton.

They were moving too slowly, and the dragon was flying too fast to wait for the team.

The gluttons had already flown to the front and were hunting near Crab Bay.

But he didn't worry too much.

Runestone City and Seagull Town were built one to the north and one to the south. They had already walked half the distance.

With Glutton's speed, it only takes ten minutes to get back.

Gadagada...

The team entered the middle of the canyon, and the wheels of the carriage made a harsh sound as they rolled over the gravel.

Rhaegar held the reins, the sound reached his ears, and he became more and more irritable.

He had a bad feeling.

Motivated by emotion, he reined in the reins and stopped the white horse from moving forward.

The carriage from behind slowly followed.

The curtains of the carriage were raised, and Rhaenyra stuck her head out and said with a smile: "Why did you stop, Rhaegar?"

"Where's Syracuse?"

Rhaegar asked directly without any nonsense.

"Syrax?"

Rhaenyla was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems like she went hunting."

"Can you sense it and call it back?"

As Rhaegar spoke, he himself also called out to the glutton in his heart.

He trusted his hunch.

Something must have gone terribly wrong.

"Let me try."

Seeing Rhaegar's uneasy expression, Rhaenyra did not dare to delay and tried to sense Syrax.

Rhaegar clamped his horse's belly under his horse and walked to the back of the team, where he found a lean soldier.

"Send someone to the front to inquire about the situation!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"

The lean soldier responded quickly and turned around to call for help.

Whoosh——

A bone arrow flew over and landed at the feet of the lean soldier.

Lei Jia's pupils shrank and he immediately pulled out the dragon claw.

Swish, swish, swish...

The next second, raindrops fell like dense bone arrows.

"ah!!……"

The soldiers in the team had no time to react before they were hit by bone arrows and screamed in agony.

Just as the lean soldier was about to pull out his standard long sword, a bone arrow hit the back of his neck, and the arrowhead popped out of his mouth.
