Loire Valley, Imperial Coalition Camp.
"He is a regicide!"
Consul Fred rushed like an angry bull into Prince Leahy's camp.
"This is a trample on the honor of the empire and a blasphemy against the "Glorious Code"!"
He had already set off for Yulong City to hold a meeting of the Senate to elect a regent, but he was chased back halfway.
Because, Emperor Reinhardt actually died!
Once the emperor died, there was no need to elect a regent, and the new emperor succeeded directly.
Consul Fred's plan completely fell through.
"What evidence do you have to prove that Colin Angelet killed the emperor?"
Prince Leahy asked lightly.
Consul Fred choked slightly, but then became even angrier, shouting:
"Who else is there besides him? I said how he was so easy to talk at the regular military meeting before, so it turned out that he was well prepared!"
"I'm talking about evidence, not speculation." Prince Lehi continued to pour cold water on it.
Consul Fred suddenly raised his head and glared at Prince Leahy, but he only saw a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.
After panting for a few short breaths, Consul Fred finally calmed down gradually.
Because Prince Leahy is right, they don't have any proof.
Emperor Reinhardt was dead, and he died in the tent guarded by the royal guards. The cause of death was also seriously injured in the Loire Valley battle. Everything was so reasonable.
If it weren't for the great change of Emperor Reinhard's temperament before his death, and the timing of his death was too ingenious, Prince Lech would think that was the case. .
But even if they suspect that Colin Angelet is manipulating everything behind the scenes, there is no evidence.
"Then what should we do?" Consul Fred calmed down and began to rationally analyze the current situation, "Your Majesty has passed away. According to the law of succession, Prince Harrison should succeed him. He is a student of Colin Angelet , the blood of the Saint Hilde family still flows in his body.
If we don't do anything, I'm afraid the people from the north will have the final say in the glorious empire in the future!
Even... the master of the empire will change! "
Prince Leahy fell into silence, seemingly helpless about it.
Consul Fred's eyes flickered, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Perhaps, we can prevent Harrison from successfully succeeding to the throne!"
Prince Lehi was full of doubts and asked:
"How to stop it? Harrison is the first in line to the throne, and he hasn't made any mistakes."
Consul Fred didn't speak, but there was endless killing intent in his eyes.
Prince Leahy immediately understood what Consul Fred meant.
This is to assassinate Prince Harrison to prevent him from succeeding to the throne!
"You want to assassinate a fourteen-year-old child? And this child is your cousin?" Prince Lehi looked at Consul Fred with a look of disdain.
Under Prince Lehi's gaze, Consul Fred felt ashamed, but he immediately suppressed it.
"This is a political struggle, not a duel of knights!" Consul Fred said through gritted teeth, "Here, there are only winners and losers, no honor of justice!
Assassination, poisoning, deception... No matter how dirty the method is, as long as it can achieve the goal, it is the best method! "
Prince Lehi smiled disdainfully, and said:
"I finally understand why you pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even helped them slander me when you knew that Reinhardt and Midella were the real murderers of your father.
Is this what you call a political trick
It's ridiculous! "
Consul Fred's face was flushed red by Prince Leahy's mocking words, and he immediately retorted:
"Prince Lehi, have you forgotten that you were ruined by such a 'ridiculous' method, and left in embarrassment from the political center of the empire?"
"Yes, that's right." Prince Lehi nodded, not feeling ashamed at what Consul Fred said, but raised his chin proudly, "But I dare to face the scrutiny of the Supreme Lord, and I have no shame Confidently declare that I have always adhered to the way of chivalry!
Do you dare? "
"The way of chivalry?" Consul Fred sneered, "Wake up, Lexie, the Supreme Lord has long since stopped paying attention to this world. Even the church has become a place where filth is hidden. What are you insisting on?" What's the point of a shit knight's way?"
Prince Lexi also shook his head, and said solemnly:
"No, the eyes of the Supreme Lord never leave us, this is just a test for us."
Consul Fred curled his lips in disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Prince Leahy continue:
"You have never set foot in the Sanctuary, so you will never understand.
This is not a realm that mortals can enter by relying on their own strength. This is the forbidden area of the gods!
Without the mercy of the Supreme Lord, it would be impossible for me to break through to the sixth level in my whole life.
Therefore, the only thing I can do is to serve Him with the greatest piety! "
Consul Fred looked at Prince Leahy in amazement for a while, and then he said bitterly:
"Don't be stupid, Lexie! If the Supreme Lord is still here, do you think the Pope will be as unscrupulous as he is now? He is the mortal who knows the gods best!
And your stubbornness and ignorance will only lead you to a crushing defeat in this dirty and bottomless political arena! "
Prince Lehi said unmoved:
"Who said that in order to win, you must use any means? Have you forgotten how to defeat your opponent in an open and honest way?"
"Fair and fair?" Consul Fred seemed to be annoyed, "Now that Colin Angelet is full-fledged, how did you defeat him in a fair and fair manner
Do you really think the royal family still controls the most powerful army in the empire
Or are you going to assassinate him
But don't forget, Duke St. Grian has obviously become his lover. Are you sure you can defeat this woman? "
"The strength of the enemy is not the reason for you to avoid it, Fred." Prince Leahy said righteously, "If you don't understand this truth, you will never be able to reach the pinnacle of chivalry."
Consul Fred let out a sigh of relief, and seemed to have given up on persuasion completely:
"Okay, Prince Lexi, then I'll wait and see how you deal with Colin Angelet!"
After saying this, he walked out angrily.
But when he reached the entrance of the camp, Consul Fred stopped suddenly, turned his head, looked at Prince Lexi with piercing eyes, and said:
"You still don't want to assassinate Harrison, it can't be because...he is actually your illegitimate son!"
Prince Leahy suddenly looked up, looked at Consul Fred coldly, and denied it:
"of course not!"
Consul Fred pouted, not knowing whether he believed Prince Leahy's words, turned around and walked out.
