Chapter 606 – The Changes at Gambella 4
Chapter 606 – The Change of Gabella 4
Felix was protected by his own guards and ran all the way from the front hall gate to his residence.
Antonio’s men also followed them all the way.
During the escape, most of Felix’s guards died, in fact, they had once planned to counterattack towards their pursuers, who didn’t seem to have many people.
But after one attempt, they no longer dared to entertain such thoughts.
That group was just too weird.
Not only did they have flames that shot over from afar, the bows and crossbows they shot were also extremely precise, almost hitting a hundred times.
When they fought against each other, they even realized that the armor on the other side was so refined that their blades looked extremely difficult to break through.
The people fighting them were skillful in martial arts, and they were ridiculously strong.
Felix was puzzled, how did Antonio arrange such a group of elite far beyond the royal guards within the palace.
“They must have resorted to evil sorcery to become so powerful.”
Felix had no choice but to think of a reason that was closest to reality.
In order to get the Grand Prince out of contact with his pursuers, many people sacrificed their lives to break the back.
The imperial palace of the Jabella Empire was a complex that covered a wide area, and the sacrifices of those guards were worth it for the time being, and after fleeing all the way, Felix, who was out of breath from running, escaped to his own chambers within the palace with the handful of guards that were still left.
The people they encountered along the way were indiscriminately attacked because they couldn’t tell if they were Antonio’s people or not.
The guards, officials, and servants walking alone caused countless casualties.
“We’ve arrived!”
Felix almost cried a little in joy, his chambers were a relatively separate building and loyal guards were standing guard at the entrance.
Seeing the Grand Prince running in panic with a few guards, the guards standing guard felt a little strange, until they approached and saw the blood on their bodies, they realized that something big must have happened.
“Quickly! Organize the defense immediately! Never let anyone rush inside!”
Felix hissed, ordering the guards.
“Aye! Your Highness!” The guards apprehensively accepted the order.
Although because of the two emperors, many people expected that this day would come sooner or later, when it actually happened, those in the middle of the event still felt sudden.
Felix had just rushed into his palace when a large group of people arrived right behind him, blocking the various exits of the chambers.
On Antonio’s side, in addition to the men who had appeared from the antechamber of the palace, Amporov, who was one of the chiefs of the palace guards, had also come over to support him with the portion of his guards that he could command to move.
The second prince appeared on a white horse surrounded by the crowd, and he called out to his brother’s guards:
“Felix is hopeless; he will …… surely fail to day! It is pointless for you to continue carrying out his orders.”
“Your Highness Antonio!” The captain of the guards in charge of commanding the defense at the entrance to the chambers replied, “We choose to be faithful to our oaths, step over our dead bodies.”
Antonio sighed and shook his head before beckoning, “Attack!”
Flames, bows and arrows, and crossbows were hurled towards the bedchamber.
Those armed men in armor also shouted in unison and rushed towards the bedchamber guards who were holding their ground.

Upon entering within the palace, Felix ran all the way to the northwest corner, where there was a room that contained the entrance to the tunnels leading out of the palace.
As long as he passed through the tunnels, he would be able to escape and go to join up with the Diaz family, and then gather a superior force to launch a counterattack on Antonio’s side.
“Your Highness! What happened? Why are you so flustered!”
In the hallway, Felix encountered Lady Coleridge, the courtesan who served him.
She was still so elegant and charming, with her snow-white silver hair attracting attention.
But Felix did not care to show his chivalrous demeanor, he yanked on Coleridge’s hand and pulled her along with him.
“Your Highness?”
“Coleridge, the Lord of Light has truly favored me by letting me run into you here, it’s so lucky.”
Felix explained under his breath, “That bastard Antonio, he had the audacity to start a rebellion!” “His Highness Antonio?” Coleridge’s tone was very surprised.
“Yes! That bastard! That witch-born bastard! How dare he? How dare he?”
Already disregarding his manners, Felix began to swear, now hating the half-brother who could very well take his life.
The two and the guards ran through the long corridors, surprisingly Coleridge, who was a woman, didn’t slow them down.
Upon entering the room with the entrance to the tunnels, Felix made his arrangements, pointing to his guards.
“You, you, you, and you, come in with us. The rest of you, guard this place to the death.”
The faces of those who were arranged to break the back were dark as they knew their fate.
“Please rest assured, Your Highness!”
The constraints of their oaths and the safety of their families made them choose to obey the order.
Felix entered the tunnels with Coleridge and four selected guards.
After a thud, the heavy stone door closed behind them, the shouts of murder on the ground could not be heard, and the tunnels were silent for a moment.
Only the footsteps of the Grand Prince’s group echoed inside.
“Ah, we can finally put our hearts down for now.”
Felix lamented so.
“Your Highness, I think it is too early to be reassured.”
Ms. Coleridge, who was at his side, suddenly said.
Felix stopped, “Hm? Why do you say that! This leads to my grandfather’s mansion, once we get out of here we’ll have access to great power to fight back.”
Ms. Coleridge continued a few steps forward, putting some distance between her and him.
She turned her back on Felix and asked, “Your Highness, do you hate witches?”
Felix answered without thinking, “Of course, aren’t witches all evil beings?”
“Then do you like me?”
“Haha, need I say more? My feelings for you are thicker and harder than that stone door we just passed through.”
Coleridge, the beautiful courtesan, seemed to say with some difficulty, “That’s a contradiction; you can’t hate and like the same thing at the same time!”
“Ah, what do you mean?” Félix was a little uncertain.
The lady slowly turned around, her face still half obscured by darkness because of the dim light in the tunnels.
But that other half of the face that could be seen made Felix shiver.
Yes, the face was still beautiful, blown out skin, white and flawless, everything was perfect, just as it had always been.
However, when Felix shifted his sight to her eyes, the gentle and lovely was gone, the intellectual elegance was gone, and all that was left was an endless chill.
The gaze of “Coleridge” was like the coldest wind in the coldest month of winter, invading Felix’s bone marrow without mercy.
“You …… you ……”
Realizing that there was a problem, Felix laboriously reached out and pointed at the other party, and the four guards reacted quickly and immediately drew their own weapons.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness Felix.”
“Coleridge’s” tone, like her gaze, carried a chill that could be felt in the mind.
“I am precisely a witch then!”
