"Count Angelet, what does this mean?"
Mrs. Grace turned her gaze to Colin and asked in a deep voice.
Colin shrugged, pointed at Franco, and said, "Madam, you should ask your son what they did to the body of Duke St. Hilde?"
Mrs. Grace glared at her son and asked, "Franco, tell me!"
Franco had no choice but to speak awkwardly: "Last year when Count Angelet passed by Huayu City with the body of the Duke of St. Hilde, I actually didn't know that Horus was already thinking about the body of the Duke.
And when I learned that he had secretly dropped the Duke's body, I also asked him to return the Duke's body to the St. Hilde family.
But Horus said that the body of a paladin was extremely important for his research...
Out of selfishness, I didn't ask any more questions.
But who would have thought that a month later, the Duke of St. Hilde, who was supposed to die, came back to life..."
"Back to life?!"
A series of exclamations suddenly sounded in the banquet hall.
"It's not resurrection from the dead, but resurrection from the dead." Colin added lightly, "Franco, don't you understand that Horus' so-called 'resolving the deformity in the Morrison family's bloodline' is simply an excuse , His real purpose is to help Mr. Xi occupy the remains of the Duke of St. Hilde!
You, the Morrison family, have been used by him and Mr. Ji! "
When Franco heard this, he clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling constantly, and a look of pain and struggle appeared on his face.
Perhaps he had guessed this a long time ago, but he still deceived himself with a glimmer of hope, unwilling to believe the cruel facts.
Colin stared at Franco coldly, without any pity for this man in his heart.
Even though he knew that this person's conscience was not lost, he might have struggled, but unfortunately, he always succumbed to the dark side, condoning and covering up evil for a promise with little hope.
"Franco, do you know what kind of disaster your actions have brought to the Glorious Empire?"
Facing Colin's questioning, Franco said hoarsely: "What did they... do?"
Ke Lin smiled coldly, and asked back, "Don't you guys know anything about the disaster that happened in Bailu City?"
Mrs. Grace said in a deep voice: "Count Angelet, we did hear that there was a terrible fire in Bailu City, and thousands of people died because of it... Could it be that Horus did this too?"
Colin nodded, and said: "That's right. Horus is one of the masterminds of this fire. He wanted to reproduce the scene of the Eagle City crash in Bailu City, sacrifice the lives of the entire city, and launch [Judgment Eye], kill Prince Laixi, and then occupy Prince Laixi’s body like Mr. Xi did back then.”
"It's a good thing you stopped him!" Mrs. Grace said sincerely, looking at the corpse of Horus in the crystal coffin with an extremely complicated expression on her face.
"That's right. His evil deeds were stopped, and the tragedy of Falling Eagle City did not happen again. But..." Colin stared at Franco with cold eyes, and said mercilessly,
"Sin must be punished, so that people who come after can be warned!"
Franco raised his head again, looked at Colin calmly, and said:
"Count Angelet, I'm guilty. No matter how you judge me, I have no complaints. However, the existence of Horus is unknown to the rest of the Morrison family, so please don't involve the innocent."
"Innocent?" Colin sneered and said disdainfully, "If there was no Morrison family, how could Horus get the blood of so many St. Hilde family members? How could he steal the remains of the Duke of St. Hilde?" ? And how could they almost sacrifice Bailu City
When you use the resources of the Morrison family to help Horus, the Morrison family can no longer be called 'innocent'!
To say innocent, the millions of imperial people who died in Falling Eagle City and Bailu City are truly innocent!
You want to use your rotten life to redeem the sins committed by Horus, but you don't want to, are you qualified! "
Under Colin's merciless questioning, Franco's face flushed red, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted:
"Count Angelet, I know that even if I go to hell, I will not be able to atone for the crimes I committed, but I will not let my crimes tarnish the glory of the Morrison family, let alone let you use this to punish Horus." who know nothing of their existence."
Colin seemed to be annoyed by Franco's stubbornness, and said, "Oh? What if I want the Morrison family to pay the price
What do you want
Ignite the [Wildfire] in the basement, will everyone die together? "
"Yes!" Franco's eyes became extremely sharp again, and there was a hint of madness in his tone, "Count Angelet, please order the Blood Cavalry to withdraw from Huayu City immediately, and I will follow you. And at your disposal..."
"Enough!" Mrs. Grace suddenly roared, interrupting Franco.
"Mother… "
Mrs. Grace came down to Franco with Nina's support, and said coldly, "What kind of hero are you playing here? When is it your turn to be the master of the Morrison family?"
"Mother, I'm not..."
"Shut up!"
In the face of Mrs. Grace's dominance, Franco had no choice but to die down.
"The Morrison family is a proud family, and even more so, a responsible family!" Mrs. Grace's sharp gaze slowly swept across every member of the Morrison family in the hall, and finally fell on the young Earl Morrison face.
"Saken!" Mrs. Grace called out Earl Morrison's name.
"Grandmother, I'm here!" Earl Morrison woke up from his trance and quickly straightened his back.
"Your father and uncle committed an unforgivable crime. Now, this crime needs to be borne by the Morrison family. So, you, take off your dress!"
"No! Mother!" Franco struggled with excitement, and fell off the wheelchair, but he still moved his body with both hands, as if trying to grab Mrs. Grace, "It's all me One person's fault! I bear it alone... "
"Shut up!" Mrs. Grace raised her eyes and ordered Nina beside her, "Tell him to shut up!"
Nina hesitated for a moment, but still drew out the long sword, and hit Franco on the back of the head with the side of the sword.
Franco immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.
Mrs. Grace turned her gaze to Earl Morrison again, and said coldly, "Take off!"
Earl Morrison trembled, but he also understood what his grandmother meant, and even began to take off the earl's dress on his body.
The hall became extremely quiet, only the sound of Earl Morrison undressing was heard.
Finally, Earl Morrison took off his earl's gown, folded it, and took off the earl's ring on his finger and put it on the clothes, then walked slowly to Colin, half-kneeled on the ground, and held the gown and the ring over overhead.
Colin was not polite either, he stretched out his hand to take it, and said in his mouth:
"Saken Morrison, with the authority of the Guardian of the North, I represent the Duke of St. Hilde to deprive you of the title of earl and take back the territory of the Morrison family. Do you have any complaints?"
Saken Morrison shook his head slowly, but the tears still dripped down.
