There is a Traitor

In the reception room of the Wuyou Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Rocks were sitting together drinking tea. Both sides were silent, and a strange atmosphere spread throughout the reception room.

"Your Highness, my men have seized some things. I hope you can take a look at them," Duke Rocks broke the silence and spoke first.

"Oh, it must be something good that the Duke personally sent." The Crown Prince took the envelope from Rocks's hand, opened it, and was instantly shocked. He said:

"This is outrageous! Where did you get this from?" The Crown Prince looked at Duke Rocks angrily.

"Your Highness, this was found from the servant of your good friend, Mrs. Wilhelmine von Lichtenau. At the time, he was meeting with an Austrian spy, and we have been observing that spy for a long time," said Locke unmoved.

"This is absolutely impossible. Lichtenau will never sell out the interests of Prussia." The Crown Prince stared at Duke Rocks as if he wanted to eat him.

"Your Highness, please calm down. It is a fact that this thing was found on Mrs. Lichtenau's servant. I suggest that you arrest Mrs. Lichtenau immediately."

"Your Excellency the Duke, nobles cannot be arrested at will without sufficient evidence."

"Your Highness, please be aware that this is not a trivial matter. It is something that harms the interests of the entire Prussia. I hope you will not be misled by some people."

"According to what you said, I can't even tell the good guys from the bad guys."

"That is the truth, Your Highness. If you do not order the arrest of Mrs. Lichtenau, I will immediately consult His Majesty Frederick at the front line."

"Can I take it that you are threatening me, Your Excellency the Duke?"

"I dare not, but the interests of Prussia are above all else. Your Highness, please put the interests of Prussia first."

"I will not order the arrest of Lichtenau, so just give up on it."

"Well, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I must first control Mrs. Lichtenau and then report this matter to Your Majesty."

"Your Excellency, Duke, while His Majesty is away on a campaign, I will be in charge of the internal affairs. Please understand this."

"Your Highness, I think there are some things you can't decide."

"Locks, you dare to look down on me, you are going too far"

"Your Highness, Prussia comes first. Goodbye." After saying the last sentence, Rocks saluted the crown prince and turned around and walked out.

"Damn you Rocks, you actually dared to ignore me? When I ascend the throne, I will make you live a life worse than death." The crown prince immediately smashed a vase and roared madly.

Rocks was nominally the kingdom's finance minister, but he also had another identity. He was in charge of Prussia's intelligence and espionage work on behalf of His Majesty Frederick, and of course counter-espionage was also one of the contents.

In Lichtenau's home, Lichtenau is having a secret conversation with a man in a black robe in a secret room.

"Mrs. Lichtenau, your servant has been discovered by Rocks's men. I think we need to hide for a while," the man in black robe whispered.

"No, Ryan, we don't need to hide at all. If we hide, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think that we have indeed deceived him, and he will do everything he can to catch us. But as long as we don't hide, but accompany him as usual, then he will suspect that Rocks wants to frame me, and he will not doubt us," Lichtnau said confidently.

"Are you so sure, Lichtenau? You know, this is not a trivial matter."

"Of course. I have been with the Crown Prince for ten years. I know very well what kind of person he is. His character is easily influenced by others. As long as I go to him and cry, he will not believe us completely, but he will definitely doubt Rocks."

"I hope what you said will come true," the man in black robe sighed.

"Sir Ryan, don't worry, everything will be fine," Lichtnau said calmly, but she also silently said in her heart: I hope so.

When the reinforcements from Prussia arrived at the Prussian camp outside Vienna, along with it came a letter from Locke to Frederick. When Frederick opened it, he flew into a rage and roared:

"Damn it! How did we run into Lacy by chance? Turns out someone tipped her off. I'm going to skin her alive."

He said to Rocks's subordinate who was delivering the letter:

"Tell Locke that no matter who it is, arrest all suspects. If there is evidence, execute them on the spot without reporting to me." After saying that, Frederick picked up the pen on the table and quickly wrote a warrant to Locke's subordinates.

"Lord Rocks asked me to ask His Majesty, what if it involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Tell Rocks not to worry about the crown prince. It's fine if he's not involved, but if he is involved, control him as well," Frederick said firmly. When Frederick was the only one left in the tent, he sighed and said:

"I hope you didn't participate, otherwise...ah..."

And what has our little William been doing during this period? Aha, our little William has been having a very happy time during this period. He is simply living among women.

"Brother William, I sprained my foot. Can you help me up?" On a grassy field outside the city of Potsdam, Elizabeth rubbed her heel and acted coquettishly to William.

"Elizabeth, you are so cunning. Your foot was fine when you were chasing butterflies just now, but now it's sprained." Karina ruthlessly exposed Elizabeth's lie, but she herself shouted again:

"Brother William, my stomach hurts so much, please come and see what's going on."

William was sitting on the grass with Sofia playing chess, which was close to modern international chess. After hearing Elizabeth and Karina's calls, they smiled slightly, and William said to them:

"Elizabeth, Karina, come here. Look for yourselves, you have become little kittens." When Elizabeth and the others came over, William took a towel and gently wiped the sweat off their faces.

"Sit here and play chess. Don't run around. Do you understand?" William said. The two girls lowered their heads shyly and agreed, then sat down and watched William play chess.

"Sophia, I lost again, you are so awesome." William praised Sophia after losing three games in a row.

"No, it was Your Highness who let me win. Otherwise, how could I have won?" Sophia said modestly.

"Elizabeth, Karina, you should learn more from Sofia. This is what a lady should be." William used Sofia's appearance to educate Elizabeth and others.

"I know," Elizabeth and Karina replied reluctantly.

"You can't sit still, let's go hunting," William said to Elizabeth and the others, knowing full well that you should be rewarded with a reward.

Sure enough, the two little girls cheered loudly, grabbed William's arms and ran away, leaving Sophia standing there with a helpless laugh.
