Although it was already late, Sebastian Don Cappendi did not fall asleep. He vaguely felt that something big had happened.

In fact, when the news of Juana and others missing, people already knew something was wrong, but for some reason, his feeling was particularly strong tonight.

Don Cappendy sent him a midnight snack. Usually the servant would prepare two slices of wheat bread, a half-cooked dried sausage, and a small bottle of wine, so that the warden could fall asleep quickly after he was full.

But the food has not changed much today, but Don Cappendy has someone prepare a large bottle of wine for him.

The warden sat in a chair by the window, and from here you can see the prison gate. He used to sit here during the day to examine his territory, and when he had lunch at night, he liked to sit on the bed and drink alone.

But today he kept staring at the door, and he would wake up immediately if there was a slight turmoil.

The night gradually became deeper, and the servant had already been hiding in the corner outside the door because he couldn't hold on, but Don Cappendi was still staring at the gate.

Although it was getting late, his premonition became stronger and stronger.

He didn't know how many people felt like this, but in fact, it had been three days but there was no whereabouts of the fugitives, which could not help but have the worst thoughts.

Once this idea appears, it will naturally make people think about what to do if the most worrying thing becomes reality?

Juana is the legal Queen of Castilla, and she already has children. If she has any problems, her and Philip's children will be the heirs of Castilla and Aragon.

This seems to be a matter of course, but for some people, this result is not what they want to see.

In addition, for a few people, there is another layer of thought about Juana's whereabouts.

That is, what consequences will be if she comes back safely?

No one knows how many people have such ideas. After all, this idea is too terrible. Even relatives and friends who are close to each other dare not discuss it calmly.

This is even more suspicious in Madrid, but this does not include Don Cappendi.

When Alexander arranged for his people to find Juana's whereabouts, Don Cappendy, who had accepted the mission, knew that he had no way out.

Don Cappendi had some speculations about why the Duke of Romanthesia chose him, but he did not go and inquire.

Because he knew that the person who recommended him might not be willing to give this matter a congratulations to the public.

"Juan Fernando Don Bandraz." Don Cappendi murmured to himself after taking a sip of wine.

He knew that the person who recommended him to the duke should be the mayor of Madrid, but he felt very stressed about this kind of "value".

Don Bandraz should have made up his mind to follow the duke to the end. For this, he even used the lives of the rebels to prove his loyalty to the duke.

His recommendation to Don Cappendi was also a means of showing loyalty, because he not only knew that Don Cappendi was indeed very capable, but also knew that he could do his job for the Duke at this time.

But in this way, Don Cappendi was not only forced to board the ship called "Duke of Romanthesia", but also had no chance to go down along the way.

Although he was unhappy with this forced action, he could not do it because of this.

On the contrary, he was vaguely excited and excited. The warden not only did not feel disgusted with the mayor of Madrid to pull him onto the boat, but even wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

There was a faint sound of horse hooves suddenly coming from the dark night, and the warden immediately stood up from his chair.

He walked to the window a few steps and looked at the door. He heard the rushing sound of horse hooves becoming more and more obvious. Then he seemed to have stopped outside the prison. He immediately turned around and went out, kicked the dozing servant, and then told him to wake up his subordinates.

He walked down the stairs quickly and walked out of the house.

When the warden came to the yard, the gate had already opened and a group of people rushed in.

They were all hot, and when the person in front of them jumped off the horse, the sweat from their heads splashed directly on the warden's face.

Just as the torch was shining, the warden saw the expression on the face of the person he sent, and he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he still asked in a hurry: "How is it? Have you found it?"

"Has found the master." The leader of the search team responded in a silence. He quickly turned around and looked at the companions behind him. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he turned his head and whispered to the warden. "We found the person we were looking for in a village on the other side of the ferry, but..."

As the leader whispered in a low voice, Don Cappendy showed a dull look on her face.

Although he had guessed what the result would be, when he heard it with his own ears, he still felt as if he was in a dream.

It was not until the leader urged him in a low voice that Don Cappendi suddenly remembered something and looked at the search team behind him. When he found that the soldiers of the Gonzalo were indeed not found in the crowd, he immediately ordered his subordinates who had already rushed over to hear the sound: "Come on, prepare quickly, I'm going to the palace."

The men immediately started to work, some of them prepared horses and vehicles, while some of them were busy preparing weapons.

"Your people are settled first," the warden glanced at the leader. Seeing what the man was about to say, he continued without waiting for the other party to speak, "I promised you will definitely fulfill it, but now I don't want this matter to spread, so you have to follow my arrangements."

The leader who had originally wanted to distinguish nodded helplessly. He knew that Don Cappendy was the master in this prison. If he didn't want to cause trouble or wanted to get what he promised, he could only do what he said.

The search team was taken away by Don Cappendi's men, who were placed in a separate building, with solid buildings and thick iron fences enough to prevent them from escaping, but now Don Cappendi no longer cares about them.

He knew that the soldiers would definitely report everything they found to Gonzalo, and if he did not want to be snatched away by others after he had worked hard, even if he was destined to be as fast as possible, he would have to go to the Duke to report this matter as soon as possible.

Moreover, Don Cappendi knew that in addition to showing off his merits, he was more important to show his attitude to the Duke of Roman Thesia.

Especially at this time!

The dark clouds in the sky are heavy, and there is no star to see. Even at night, you can feel the heavy pressure of the clouds in the sky.

Even though he walked very quickly when he bought a car, he still felt stuffy and humid around him. A ray of light flashed, and a faint thunder sounded from the horizon. Don Cappendy couldn't help but pull the collar of his robe.

Traveling on such a night is somewhat dangerous, so Don Cappendy brought his trusted subordinates and the manuscript he had worked hard to establish a national security system.

This is certainly not the best time to recommend himself to the Duke of Romethecia, but Don Cappendi still intends to try his luck.

The Palace of El Paldo is also brightly lit tonight. Except for Gonzalo and Don Banderaz, many people stayed in the palace without leaving.

So someone was somewhat surprised when he found out that the warden was not present.

It was no secret that Don Cappendy was summoned by the Duke alone, so some people originally speculated that the warden might have to operate.

But he did not stay in the Palace of El Paldo at this time, which made people wonder what had happened.

Among these people, except Gonzalo and Don Bandraz, the three nobles who were summoned first became undoubtedly the most prominent among these new Madrid nobles who depended on Alexander.

This is certainly because they have great power, and more because they are obviously what the Duke values ​​the most.

So when the Duke and the two military and political leaders were not present, the three nobles became the leaders of everyone, but they obviously had different relationships, so a group of people divided into three circles and gathered in the hall and whispered.

Although the room was stuffy and humid, it did not hinder people's emotions. Moreover, everyone looked at others with a hint of strangeness, which seemed like there was a secret that everyone knew that could not be revealed.

A burst of rapid footsteps came from the distance of the corridor, and people's attention was immediately attracted.

Several soldiers with sweat on their heads appeared at the entrance of the hall. They saw the group of nobles in the hall slow down because of some surprise, but immediately one of them walked towards them.

Someone recognized that man as the adjutant of Gonzalo, and the soldiers had only had time to bend down, but the man who was leading the salute was already grabbed by the adjutant of Gonzalo and walked towards the room inside by the nobles with their eyes flashing.

The people's eyes became hot, and they looked at the soldiers who stayed at the entrance of the hall, but the people had obviously received orders, so they were led by the guards who rushed out of the hall one after another.

People couldn't help but whisper again, and the strange look conveyed between their eyes made the atmosphere in the room even more weird.

One possible result flashed through people's hearts, and they were also wondering how to face what might happen.

"Old men, I think we should make suggestions to the Duke at this time," said the civil servant Hohalbina Garros, suddenly raised his voice. Seeing the success of attracting everyone's attention, the civil servant coughed and continued, "We should ask the Duke to announce his responsibility to the Madrid people to the city."

"What are you talking about?" Tax collector Moradato asked step forward, "You must know that the Duke is the monarch of Roman Thesia, not the Duke of Madrid, so is it inappropriate to declare the responsibility to Madrid?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Hohalbina Garros seemed to have not expected to be refuted. He looked at the tax collector with a slightly exaggerated and unexpected expression. "Do you think the Duke does not have this right to assume responsibility and obligations to Madrid?"

Hoharbinagaros' rhetoric immediately aroused the low exclamations of people. The nobles who were originally vaguely divided into two factions looked at each other, and their fighting spirit seemed to be ready to argue with each other at any time.

"Of course it's inappropriate."

The president of the court, who had been watching coldly, suddenly joined in. He stood among the two and seemed to be in the arbitration role, but his words had proved to be inclined to whom.

"If the Duke declares the so-called responsibility for Madrid, although this will make it easier for the Duke to rule Madrid, it will also imprison the Duke in this city," said the president of the court, looking at Hoharbinagaros deeply. "For some people, this may be a good thing, but it will not be of any benefit to the Duke himself."

The court president's unceremonious refutation made Hoharbina Garros's face look ugly in an instant, and the tax collector's words made everyone breathe in secret:

"Because it means that even if he is the ruler of Madrid, he still has to obey the orders of a certain Castile monarch, but don't forget that the Duke is the son of Enrique IV, and more importantly, he is a pure Prince of Castile."

Hoharbinagaros's face looked extremely ugly with iron gray. He noticed that even the nobles surrounding him showed hesitation, which made him vaguely feel something was wrong.

Just as the civil affairs officer was about to continue to argue, the door leading into the room suddenly opened.

Sher appeared at the door, and he nodded slightly to the three nobles to signal them to go in. Looking at the people entering one after another and the door that was closed again, the people outside were in a daze.

A dull thunder suddenly came, and the people who were talking in a low voice couldn't help but look out the window.

Lightning flashes in the night sky cut through the dark sky, and there seemed to be something terrible on the large clouds struggling hard, as if they were about to penetrate the clouds that seemed to be torn at any time landed on the ground.

Another sound of footsteps came, and people looked at the sound and were surprised to see the Madrid warden appear at the door.

Don Cappendy obviously had no time to deal with the nobles who were surrounding him and wanted to chat with him. He walked through the crowd and came to the door. After speaking to the guards at the door, he stood there waiting for the reply.

After only a short while, Schell came out with the guards. When he invited Don Cappendy to enter the door, he looked at the nobles waiting outside, and then closed the heavy door with a "slam".

Don Cappendy walked into the room through the aisle and saw people gathered in the room.

The room was very Han Jing, and everyone except Alexander stood. They surrounded Alexander and looked at him silently, as if waiting for his decision.

Seeing Don Cappendy come in, the three nobles couldn't help but look at him.

However, Don Cappendy did not respond. He walked a few steps to Alexander, who was sitting in a semicircular chair, and did not speak but waited silently.

"You already know?" Alexander asked. Seeing Don Cappendy nodding, Alexander stretched out his hands and rubbed his face hard before looking up at the people standing in front of him. "Who can tell me what this means?"

"Your Highness, the news brought back by the search team is very clear," Don Cappendy finally spoke, looking at Uomoto, who was standing most outside. "According to the search team's report, the Queen and Pastor Togomada took a shortcut after leaving the place called Blackpool Village because they heard the villagers' words, and their carriages were trapped in the mud ditch that had collapsed due to rain."

Although he had heard of the report, Alexander still looked at Uomoto.

Seeing the Duke looking over, Uomoto immediately answered: "Yes, Your Highness, as this lord said, Her Majesty's carriage was trapped in a mud ditch, because the mud and sand around the rain kept falling, and they had no time to escape from the carriage, and then submerged the entire carriage until..."

When Uomoto said this, he cut a cross on his chest, his face pale and stopped.

"Where are those villagers? Tell me what they have done?" Alexander looked at Don Cappendy.
