The Tower was also the【C10】______of one of London’s most famous mysteries. King Edward IV died in 1483. His elder son, Edward, became king【C11】______his father’s death. Young Edward lived in the Tower, and the Duke of Gloucester, his protector, persuaded Edward’s brother, Richard, to come and live there so that they could play together. But then the Duke【C12】______that he was the new king, and he was crowned【C13】______the twelve-year-old Edward,【C14】______himself Richard III. After that, the boys were seen less and less and【C15】______disappeared. It is said that they were suffocated in bed by pillows being【C16】______their mouths.

A、apart from
B、besides
C、together
D、rather than
