Gomez's killing obviously caused greater unrest. Some soldiers who were still resisting nearby began to panic. They retreated one after another, and more and more people gathered together to retreat to the backyard. Several soldiers also noticed that something seemed to have happened in the living room. Just as they were about to run over, there was a loud noise in the direction of the palace gate in the distance, and the entire palace seemed to shake in the sound!

"This is..." Osborne, who followed the Aragonese soldiers, looked forward with a dull face. Although there were several houses, the thick smoke rising in the night could still be seen clearly. "Cannon?"

Osborne's head buzzed, but it was not shocked by the cannon, but was completely stunned by this series of sudden changes.

He had not seen Gomez's death, but the rumors in the palace were shouting "Gomez is dead, the palace prince was killed!" had already made him frightened. Now that he saw that the civil unrest that had not known why the outbreak turned into an attack on the palace, and even cannons appeared, Osborne felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

The tailor never thought of participating in a real battle. Even this time, he volunteered just to restore his position that had been shaken in Gong Xiang's heart. But what happened now has exceeded his imagination, not to mention that the news of Gomez's death made Osborne completely desperate.

"Alexander, where is he?" Osborne asked the person next to him, and then he shouted "Where is Kombrey? Go find him and take him away!"

Several Aragonese soldiers looked at Osborne in a daze, wondering why he was suddenly so nervous about the safety of the Greek. Although these people were trusted by Gomez, they disagreed with Osborne. Now they heard that the palace prime minister is dead, and although they don’t know whether the news is true or false, they are already impatient.

There were shouts from the front palace outside, and the soldiers became nervous. They knew that the people had rushed into the palace. At this time, no one had investigated why cannons suddenly appeared, and no one listened to Osborn's order to take the risk of finding a Greek in such chaos.

The soldiers ran to the southwest corner of the palace, knowing that they should have their own companions there, because the palace guards were usually stationed there, and there was a small but very solid inner castle between the two right-angled towers in the southwest corner. It was prepared for the Normans to prevent the palace from being broken through as their final resistance in the early years.

Osborne was almost swept by the soldiers and ran towards the inner castle, or he was guilty, but he made excuses for his escape, only thinking that if Alexander had any surprises, his future would be completely over.

When Alexander flashed out of the two half-closed doors, he was seeing a scene in the corridor.

Although Gomez's murder was surprised by him, he was more concerned about Sophia's safety, so he just looked there hurriedly and turned around and ran towards Mrs. Gong Xiang's living room.

Although it was not entirely clear which room the lady lived in, Alexander had seen the maids serving her enter and exit from here. While the people who killed Gomez were excited to search for spoils on the unlucky palace corpse, Alexander passed through a grass behind the corridor and quickly flashed into the crooked door that was obviously knocked open.

Then he felt like he tripped under his feet, and before he could see clearly, he tripped to the ground.

A scream sounded, and then it was interrupted by life.

Because suddenly, Alexander's sword had already been removed, and he rolled and wanted to get up quickly, but when he raised his head, his forehead was just blocked by a cold crossbow arrow!

Then he saw Sophia's wide eyes, her open mouth, and her nervous look of surprise.

"Sophia!" Alexander jumped up excitedly. He didn't even bother to step on something that felt soft, and rushed up and hugged Sophia in his arms!

“Ah~”

The girl who could not speak could only express her inner feelings in the simplest monophonic voice, but she also hugged Alexander's neck tightly, and even strangled him a little breathless, but she told everything.

"Where is my husband?"

Even when the voice was still reserved in the critical moment, Alexander saw that Mrs. Gong Xiang was moving her hand away from the maid's mouth. It seemed that this woman was calling just now. At this time, he was even more surprised to see two men lying on the ground in the house, and another one who tripped him was lying near the door.

Although he did not see any wounds, Alexander's first reaction was that these people were dead.

He looked at Mrs. Gong Xiang in surprise. Although he had heard that this lady was from a prominent family in Aragon and was a typical descendant of a famous family, the scene in front of him still made him feel incredible.

Could this lady be a master who is still hidden?

This absurd thought disappeared in just a flash. Of course, Alexander did not believe that such a thing would happen. He also saw the short crossbow in Sophia's hand, which made him seem to understand something.

"Where is my husband?" the lady asked again, and then she suddenly said without waiting for the answer, "He is dead, right?"

Alexander nodded in surprise. He noticed that Mrs. Gong Xiang's tone when she said this sentence was not about asking, but just recounting a fact. It seemed that Gong Xiang's death was already within her expectations.

"Greeks, you protect us from here," Mrs. Gong Xiang's tone was still reserved, as if her husband's death did not cause any other emotional changes. Moreover, as she said this, Alexander unexpectedly saw a slightly older woman walking out of the room, holding a boy in her hand and a younger girl in her arms.

"Let's leave here," said Mrs. Gong Xiang decisively. Her head, which was always straight, was only slightly lowered even when she stepped over the body under her feet, and then she straightened her waist. It seemed that nothing in the world could make her bend over. "Protect my children to leave, I will give you enough rewards." As she said that, she looked at Sophia holding a short crossbow next to her and continued, "Don't worry, I keep my word, I will give you this girl. As long as you protect my children's safety, I will do my best to repay you. I swear in the reputation of the Aragon noble."

The words of the Prime Minister made Alexander secretly curl his lips. He had already seen the reputation of the Aragon nobles. Whether it was the Palace Prime Minister, the Palace Prime Minister, or Alfonso, this was the so-called famous family of Aragon, which seemed to never take honor to heart. This can be seen from the fact that the Palace Prime Minister used Sophia to threaten him and Alfonso did not hesitate to launch a conspiracy to attack in order to be the bishop.

But now although he wants to save Sophia, it seems that it will not work if he doesn't take Mrs. Gong Xiang and her children. Although this woman cannot stop him, it can be done if he wants to destroy his escape.

Alexander did not doubt that once he found out, he would be ready to leave them, the woman would be able to win the enemy.

"Go away," Alexander didn't want to get entangled with Mrs. Gong Xiang. This is the kind of woman who is called firm will, but actually paranoid. He said, pulling Sophia up to the door and looking out. Only then did he notice that the man lying at the door was inserted with a familiar crossbow arrow in his body. "Is this what you did?"

Sophia nodded and pointed at another corpse, meaning that she was saying that she killed that, which made Alexander secretly shocked. He never thought that this gypsy girl was so powerful that she could kill two men with weapons.

There had been changes outside. The sudden appearance of cannons scared the guards and surprised the criminals. It seemed that they did not expect such a change. As the palace gate was bombarded by cannons, the people who were originally just blindly shouting followed him and rushed back and forth like a group of driven ducks.

Thick wool curtains and precious silk fabrics were torn off, and the shiny silverware became stolen goods that some people had in their arms, while carpets sold from the lowlands and walls with exquisite enamel were simply rolled up and carried away.

For a moment, no one knew why he rushed into the palace, and no one pursued who the person who had been burned to coke on the pile of firewood was. No one even knew how this happened from the beginning. People only knew to follow others to keep running and shouting in the palace, or simply vent the terrible impulse that didn't know where it came from.

Chaos obviously gave many people the opportunity to get rich, but also gave Alexander and others the chance to escape. The people who suddenly broke into the palace disrupted the purpose of the attackers. They were mixed and squeezed around in the crowd. Although several people seemed to see someone running out of the living room, more and more Sicilians who rushed into the palace soon drowned them in the frenzy.

Alexander held Sophia's hand tightly. When he ran out of the room while he was in the chaos, he told Sophia to follow him closely. He knew very well what this madness would bring. He understood more than anyone else how terrible destructive power would be erupted by blind people once they lost their constraints. Even almost two centuries ago, the Normans were driven out of Sicily by such a force that almost destroyed everything.

Originally, Alexander wanted to go back to the secret passage along the original path, but soon he found that the road was not accessible, especially as the crowd rushing into the palace like surging waves along the central corridor running through the palace, he knew that if he walked back, he would be trampled to death by the crowd.

"Follow the crowd."

The calm that Mrs. Gong Xiang showed at this time surprised Alexander, but he didn't care about this and pulled Sophia along the flow of people to the gate on the other side of the palace. He had already thought about taking Sophia away from the other palace gate once he left the crowd a little. As for Osborne's whereabouts, he could no longer care about it.

In fact, there was another reason that prompted him to decide to leave the palace as soon as possible, that was, he really didn't expect that the French were so bold. Although he didn't know how they incited the Palermos, as long as they thought about how they dared to pull out the cannons for this conspiracy, Alexander could not help but wonder if he had underestimated the courage of the people of this era before.

Originally thought it was just a threat to the Bishops's Order, at most a small conspiracy to attack the palace by a few people, but it eventually turned into a catastrophe that led to the death of the Sicily Palace and the fall of the Palermo Palace. At this time, Alexander discovered that the Duke of Orleans was not simple.

Taking advantage of the sparse crowd, Alexander pulled Sophia out of the palace gate.

The moment he rushed out of the palace, he saw a group of people running towards him.
