Chapter 523 Framed

In the Hall of Alduin, Crown Prince Garrett stood in front of the throne. Before completing the formal succession ceremony in front of many nobles, he was not suitable to sit on the throne.

There were several rows of people standing below him.

In one row, there were ministers of the kingdom promoted by Bruno, including Minister of Government Arsenault, Minister of Law Texas, Minister of Finance, Minister of Commerce, Intelligence Advisor, etc.

There was another row of knights following Garrett. In addition to old subordinates such as Matt and Laushan, the surrendered enemy Count Ural and Count Arons were also in the list, and there was also a charming woman at the head.

In addition, there were also a group of nobles of all sizes, such as Duke Ferrens and Duke Andrea.

At this moment, many people in the hall had solemn expressions and dignified looks.

In the two days since Bruno suddenly claimed to be injured, Crown Prince Garrett suddenly summoned them here to discuss matters. They always had a bad feeling.

"Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Garrett took a deep breath and said sadly: "My father, Alduin V, was not seriously injured due to a mistake in training."

It was very good that Bruno's death could be delayed for two days. During this time, Garrett had completed his plan and there was no need to hide it anymore.

He chose to speak out now, which would be more conducive to the next step.

"What?"

"What happened to His Majesty?"

"Your Highness, we beg you to see His Majesty immediately!"

"Why did you and the Queen lie to us?"

Garrett's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves. Ministers and nobles asked all kinds of questions, and they wanted to know what happened to Bruno.

Garrett looked sad, "I'm sorry, everyone. My father was assassinated by a Sun-level assassin on the night of the fifth day. He was not lucky enough to survive in the end."

The Alduin Hall was silent.

Garrett paused and continued: "My father died under the assassin's sword!"

Hoo!

This sentence immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

Some people who knew the inside story were fine, but those ministers and nobles who did not know the truth were all shocked and angry.

They could not believe that Alduin V, who had spent the New Year celebrations with them a few days ago, suddenly died suddenly, and died at the hands of an assassin.

"Who is the assassin? We want to avenge His Majesty!" a noble shouted angrily.

"Yes, we want to find the murderer and make him pay the price!" Another minister also echoed.

"Revenge!"

Although Bruno was looked down upon by Ferrens and Andrea, he had a very high status in the hearts of many nobles and ministers.

During his reign, the king won a lot of benefits for ministers and small nobles, and to a certain extent avoided the fate of being exploited by the top nobles.

The Minister of State, Count Arsenault, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what is going on? Why did you and the Queen hide the truth from us before, but now you suddenly tell us?"

To be honest, several ministers close to Bruno knew Garret's virtues. Before, when Bruno was there, they didn't need to face him directly.

Now that Bruno is gone, they are afraid to be loyal to Garret.

"That's exactly what I'm going to explain next!"

Garrett raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Because the assassin's identity is special, I have to delay the arrangement for two days."

He said, looking at Broll below, "Broll, tell us what happened that night."

Broll nodded and told what happened that night.

It's just that when he arrived, he had already entered the bedroom, and the missing part was supplemented by two knights of the Royal Knights who were responsible for standing guard that night.

After a long story, two key pieces of information were revealed:

1. The assassin was very powerful, and it was definitely a knight of the Jiaoyang level;

2. The assassin landed from the sky, and a huge dark cloud was suspended in the sky at night.

Arsenault, Luther and other ministers looked at each other. As Bruno's trusted ministers, they still had political awareness. Moreover, because they were trusted, they also knew about the dispute between Garrett and Ronin.

The two pieces of information revealed now were obviously pointing to Ronin.

There was sorrow in their eyes, but as ordinary extraordinary people, they didn't dare to say something when facing Garrett, who had a bad temper.

At this time, Ferens, who had been standing at the head of the nobles, stood up.

"Although my eldest brother is ordinary in strength, he is impeccable in governing this country. Garrett, tell me, who assassinated him?"

Ferens looked directly at the crown prince, and his eyes seemed to want to cut the assassin into pieces.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Andrea followed up, "You just said that his identity is special, so you already know his identity, right?"

Garett smiled in his heart. So far, everything has gone according to their plan.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, with a hint of heaviness in his voice: "Yes, I already know the identity of the assassin."

The atmosphere in the hall became more tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Garrett's next words.

"It's Ronin."

Garett finally said the name, with a hint of revenge in his voice.

As soon as this was said, the whole hall exploded again.

Ronin, the son-in-law of His Majesty the King, the guardian knight of the kingdom, the conqueror duke who was just canonized by His Majesty Bruno, could he be the murderer who assassinated the king?

This is simply unbelievable!

"Impossible! How could Luo Ning do such a thing?"

A nobleman couldn't help but wonder loudly.

Although he is not familiar with Luo Ning, he is a Knight of the Sun and a rising Duke, enough to make many people respect him in their hearts.

"Yes, His Majesty has always valued Luo Ning very much. Duke Luo Ning has also made great contributions to the kingdom. How could he betray him?" Another minister also agreed.

"Haha, how can a small duke's position satisfy the appetite of the Knight of the Sun?"

Ference sneered and said: "I see that Luo Ning is clearly following the example of the former Emperor Orlanthe and wants to become the only king of this continent. His Majesty's existence naturally hinders him!"

"A twenty-year-old sunshine has no ambitions. Who would believe him if he told him?"

For a moment, the hall was divided into three parties, one questioning, one supporting, and one silent.

The quarrel lasted for a long time, and finally Garrett raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet again.

"Everyone has heard the statements made by Broll and the two knights just now, so I would like to ask you all. Looking at the Kingdom of Alduin and the Kingdom of Tricia, how many Knights of the Sun are there?"

The hall fell silent again.

Knights of the Sun are so rare that they can be counted in one slap.

Taking the Kingdom of Alduin as an example, there are currently only two people, Ronin and Garret, plus the indifferent great mage Belora.

Garrett continued: "This assassin is not only the Sun level, but also has a huge flying monster mount. Although the night makes it difficult for the knights to see the appearance of the monster in the sky, how many such huge flying monsters are there?"

He sneered: "So, if the assassin is not Luo Ning, who could it be?"

The party that was questioning just now now joined the silent party.

Arsenault breathed out, "So, Your Highness, how are you going to handle this matter?"

Facing two Sun-level experts and seven or eight powerful knights above the Meteor level, even if the kingdom's nobles unite, they will still pay a heavy price.

Moreover, the nobles are not monolithic, and some people do not want to face the Conqueror Duke and Thunder Marquis directly.

Orsono's eyes flashed with complicated emotions. The Kingdom of Alduin, which had been stable and peaceful for more than two decades, might be about to break out into civil war.

This is completely contradictory to His Majesty Bruno's desire to conquer Tricia.

"I've taken action."

Garrett sneered, "Maybe there will be results soon."

As soon as he said these words, the sound of dragon roar came from outside.

"Here we come!" Garrett said solemnly.

Everyone's hearts trembled. The appearance of the dragon symbolized Luo Ning's arrival.

High in the sky, Carlos was flying rapidly.

Its speed was very fast, and the moment it left Wubei Territory, it had already left Bob and the other three gryphon knights behind.

Now less than an hour has passed and we have arrived above the royal capital.

Blanche looked at the outline of the Golden Feather Palace in the distance, feeling very anxious.

"I hope my father is still alive!"

While praying in her heart, she begged: "I beg Elrond to do his best to treat me later!"

"Don't worry, madam, I carry antidote potions, and my powerful healing skills are also very impressive. As long as His Majesty the King is still breathing, I will definitely be able to revive him!" (End of Chapter)
