Chapter Twenty-Three: The Crown Prince Falls


The crown prince did not wait long in his room in Lichtenau when he heard the sound of the door being opened.

The crown prince stood up and walked towards the door, he was a little impatient.

But when he fixed his eyes on the three big men in front of him, he asked: "Who are you, get me out" "The Man Who Wants Your Life" The other party only replied, and the three of them ran over and hugged the crown prince, who wanted to shout but his mouth had been blocked by his hands.

I saw one of them take out a dagger pinned to his waist and stab the crown prince into the body, the crown prince struggled, but his hand was firmly controlled by the other two.

The man drew his dagger and stabbed it several times until the Crown Prince's body ceased to twitch and they let the Crown Prince go.

"You two quickly go to the ball site and cause chaos, and all the Prussians present here will be here today," Ryan said to the other two.

The two men said yes and walked out.

Ryan glanced at the crown prince lying on the ground, sighed, and hurried to the backyard.

The two Assassins infiltrated the ball, smashing the chandelier in the hall and shouting the word "Help" to the noblewoman in the crowd with a high-pitched voice.

The male nobles volunteered to rush towards the assassins, and the guards outside the door heard the cry for help in the hall and rushed into the hall.

I saw that there was chaos in the hall, some of the women were nervous cries for help, and there were screams of the injured.

The guards searched for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but could not find him.

At this moment, hearing the chaotic sound coming from the direction of the hall, Lichtenau in the carriage in the backyard frowned and sighed softly: "Farewell, my beautiful villa," he said, and told Ryan to rush out, and as the soldiers were attracted by the chaos in the front yard, there were few people in the backyard, and their carriage was lucky to rush out.

The crown prince's attendants were going crazy, they could not believe this fact.

I saw the crown prince lying on the carpet, blood spilling all over the ground, and there were several wounds on his chest that were obviously stabbed by daggers.

As soon as he sniffed, the crown prince was not breathing.

The head of the guards present was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered to gather more troops to surround the house, and ordered his subordinates to report to the Duke of Locks at once, asking him to blockade the whole of Potsdam.

Later, when Locks learned the news, he exclaimed: God, he hurried to the scene.

At the same time, using the emergency power given to him by His Majesty, he ordered the Potsdam City Guard to blockade the city, ordered all the nobles of Potsdam to assemble in the town hall, and ordered the immediate arrest of the Austrian spy stronghold, which had been under surveillance.

The whole of Potsdam was filled with uproar, and countless nobles were ordered by the city guards to assemble in the town hall, and all the nobles were disarmed.

At the same time, there were guards patrolling every street in Potsdam, and the people of Potsdam did not know what was happening, but when they saw the heavily armed soldiers and some nobles wearing only pajamas outside the window, they understood that Potsdam was no longer peaceful tonight.

When Duke Locks came to the scene, several royal physicians stood aside and shook their heads at him, looking at the crown prince lying on the bed, Locks' eyes darkened, he knew that he had to hold on now, for the sake of Prussia.

Locks suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to rush to Sanssouci Palace to protect Wilhelm, Prince of Brandenburg.

Locks covered the crown prince's face with a white cloth, and he said to several royal physicians: "Please understand, starting today, until His Majesty's order is issued, I will limit your share of sorry" Several royal physicians expressed their understanding of Locks' decision.

When Locks rushed to the town hall, William Jr. was also called out by old Hans.

Old Hans took William's hand and came to Louise's door and motioned for William to come in.

William walked in puzzled, only to see his sister, sister and brother all there, William frowned, he understood that something big had happened in Prussia.

Louise saw William walk in, and hurriedly said to William: "What's going on outside, is it a mutiny, those soldiers rushed into my room and took all my servants away, William, are you hurt?"

"It shouldn't be a mutiny, if it's a mutiny, there will definitely be gunshots, but something big must have happened, don't worry about it, mother, just wait until dawn tomorrow," William comforted his mother.

"That's good," Louise sat down by the window, looking out the window at the courtyard filled with soldiers, hugging her children tightly and muttering God bless.

In the town hall, Locks showed the nobles the warrant given to him by His Majesty, and he said: "In view of the present dangerous situation, I declare that all those present shall not leave this hall for even one step from this day onwards, and those who leave will be punished for treason.

In addition, if any of the nobles present have close relations with the Austrians, please voluntarily turn themselves in, and Your Majesty will be lenient.

Otherwise, if found out, he will be immediately convicted of treason."

After Locks finished speaking to the nobles present, he ignored the protests of some nobles and strode towards Sanssouci Palace.

Locks understood that he had to ensure the safety of the members of the royal family, especially William Jr.

Wilhelm looked at the soldiers in the courtyard downstairs and was puzzled, he couldn't remember what had happened in Prussia this year in history, except for the Bavarian Succession War.

Could this be the butterfly effect, he wondered.

After a while, he heard the announcement from the attendant outside the door: His Excellency Duke Locks asked to see him.

Louise hurriedly announced that Locks came in, and looking at Locks with a dark face, Louise asked: "Your Excellency, what the hell happened, why were all my maids arrested, and there were so many soldiers outside the window" "Your Royal Highness, the soldiers outside the window were specially transferred by me to protect your safety, please don't worry.

We're in Austria, so I have to do this for the safety of the royal family, and I'll be checking the attendants of Sanssouci in the next two days, so don't worry about it," Locks replied "That's good, by the way, Your Excellency Locks, where is my husband, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Louise suddenly thought of the Crown Prince, and asked Locks.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Potsdam, and we will also investigate the nobles in Potsdam, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally gone to Potsdam to take charge," Locks replied with a frown.

William saw a small change in Locks' face, and he felt his heart pound suddenly, and he felt that something bad must have happened.

Louise hurriedly put her child to sleep after receiving Locks' answer, and William lay on the bed but could not sleep.
