Chapter 1 : Assassination

"Your Highness! Your highness! Wake up! Something bad just happened, His Royal Highness Duke Arthur has been assassination! Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you!" The door of the luxurious decorated room was suddenly pushed open by a gentleman who look like a middle-age man and rushed in and shouted loudly in a panic!

"Huh, What?" The sleeping teenager work up instantly, got up from the bed and hurriedly asked the middle-age gentleman. "Butler Hunter, What happened?"

"I don't have time to say more, Your Highness, please to visited Her Majesty the Queen. His Royal Highness the Duke was assassinated on the streets of London this morning, and now the Royal Family and the entire Government are investigating this matter." The Butler named Hunter, with red eyes threatening to cry, reply with a voice that about to cry at any moments.

"Huh? What's going on? How could my father was assassinated in the middle of London?" Arthur was shocked instantly and asked in disbelief.

Editor : Arthur has the same name as his Father. 

Arthur's father, Arthur William Patrick Albert, was one of the greatest Governor-General in the British Empire, the third son of Queen Victoria, and Duke of Connaught and Strathearn of the British Empire.

Arthur was unwilling to believe that such a noble prince and duke was assassinated in the capital of his own country.

"I don't know either. Everything was fine at the beginning. Who would have thought that an assassin would suddenly come to assassinate His Royal Highness? There's no time to think about it now. Your Highness, go to Her Majesty's side first. At least that side is absolutely safe now." Butler, Hunter said with sadness and concern.

Speaking of Butler Hunter, he's the most trust and confident of Duke Arthur. Since Duke Arthur William Patrick Albert was awarded the title in 1874, Butler Hunter has been the butler of the entire Principality and duke Arthur, and it has been more than 20 years now.

During these 20 years, not only Duke Arthur was watched step-by-step by Butler hunter to grow into a qualified Duke, but also Arthur was also watched and rise by Butler Hunter.

That's why Butler Hunter was so sad to hear that Duke Arthur William Patrick Albert has been assassinated.

"Then what should we do now? " Arthur has only been in this body for a few short months, and he doesn't know much about the environment he is in during these few months.

In addition, his previous understanding of the British Empire was only half-Knowledge, he's only knew that Queen Victoria was one of the greatest monarchs in the British history, and she was known as the grandmother of the European Royal Family.

Under such circumstance, after his father, Duke Arthur was assassinated, he really doesn't know what to do for a while.

"Go to Her Majesty's side first. The most important thing right now is to ensure your safety, Your Highness." Butler Hunter, said decisively.

After losing Duke Arthur, his prince and duke, Butler Hunter could no longer tolerate another accident that might happen to Arthur, whom he has watched grow up,

"Alright then, Butler Hunter." Arthur also understood the importance of the matter and nodded.

Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria's meeting room.

At this time, the conference room was full of senior officials and member of the Royal Family from the Unit Kingdom, and the people in the conference they were all at least at the ministerial level.

"Your Majesty, please express your condolence. It is a sadden event that His Royal Highness Duke Arthur has passed away, but the most important thing right now is to find out the reasons and real murderer behind this assassination." The Current British Prime Minister Robert Seelcy said sadly.

In any case, the dignified price of the British Empire, the noble duke, was assassinated in the capital of the British Empire, Which was a great humiliation to both the Royal Family and the Government.

This is not only a provocation to the dignity of the royal family, but also a provocation to the dignity of the British Empire.

You must know that the British Empire is now the well-deserved number one power in the world, and has crushed the world's second and third powers. Under such premise, someone who dares to plan an assassination of the Duke and Prince of the British Empire in the capital city, London, is equivalent to slapping the British Empire and the British Royal Family in the face.

"Prime Minister is right, investigate for me right away! Within three days, I want to know all the information about the murder and whether there is anyone behind him and anyone involved in this assassination will be arrested. I want to let those who dare to assassinate Arthur understands the dignity of the royal family is not so easy to provoked." At the head of the table, the 80-year-old Queen Victoria said with a sad and anger face.

Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert has been Queen Victoria's favorite son since he was born, although after the birth of his sister Princess Beatrice, Prince Arthur's favor was divided, but he remains as Queen Victoria's favorite son.

In particular, the second son. Prince Alfred, went to Germany to inherit the title, and after the fourth son, Prince Leopold, died of hemophilia in 1884, Prince Arthur was more favor by Queen Victoria.

In addition, the eldest son Edward was not cared by Queen Victoria in the first place. After repeated scandals of indiscretion in his private life, Queen Victoria cares even less about him.

It is precisely because of this that there have been rumors that Queen Victoria will appoint Prince Arthur as Crown Prince in the British political circles and folks.

Although Queen Victoria did not take any action to abolish the seat of Crown Prince Edward, it is not known whether she thought so in private.

"Knok Knok Knok"

Queen Victoria's angry roar was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.

Everyone turned their eyes to the door, trying to find out who dare to disturb Queen Victoria's anger at such time.

"Grandmother!" Arthur walked in slowly, shouting with red eyes.

The grandmother instantly dispelled her anger. Seeing the face in front of her that was very similar to her favorite son, Queen Victoria count't help but shed drops of tears from the corners of her eyes, she choked up said.

"Good boy, come to grandma. Don't worry, with grandma here, no one can hurt you." Queen Victoria stepped forward, took Arthur's hand, and led him to the head table.

"Your Royal Highness." The government officials saluted Arthur one after another.

"Duke Arthur's title will be inherited by Arthur, including all castles and properties. Duke Arthur will be buried as a prince, and the national flag will be lowered at half-staff for three days." Queen Victoria touched Arthur's face with red eyes, and said sadly.
