In the bedroom of the palace, General Thomas, who had just arrived, was full of anger. He looked at Cardinal and Rodhart and shouted angrily: "Where is Her Majesty the Queen? Didn't she say that she has invited us to the palace to discuss some urgent matters?
?Why are there just the two of you? How can we arrange the place here? Isn’t it in the meeting hall? And what are so many guards and paladins outside the palace doing in a tense manner? I am not allowed to bring my entourage, for fear that we will rebel.
ah?"
"General, please take a seat. Although the situation is indeed very urgent, we should wait until the prime minister arrives." The cardinal replied calmly. "Because the situation is very serious, we have taken some special precautions and measures. Please don't mind it too much, General."
, you will know why when you wait."
General Thomas glared at Bishop Javi. He had no good impression of the young bishop from this church, and even suggested that Captain Roland find an opportunity to get rid of him secretly. Naturally, Captain Roland and the Prime Minister did not agree, and now
This little guy actually managed to gain a foothold in the royal capital within a few days by curing the queen's illness. He seemed to really want to take over the magic academy. If he hadn't been thinking about Captain Roland, he would have had his own considerations.
, General Thomas had already taken matters into his own hands.
Bishop Javi seemed to turn a blind eye to the anger and murderous intent in the general's eyes. He just smiled faintly and turned his gaze to the distance outside the hall.
The bedroom is very large, and the bed where the emperor and empress rested has been blocked by multiple screens. The other free spaces are still very large. The Marquis of Minsk, Minister Johnson and other ministers of the court have already arrived and are all sitting there.
At the temporarily moved conference table, everyone was whispering to each other in confusion about what this sudden emergency summons meant. In fact, these senior ministers did not pay much attention to the two young men, Cardinal and Rodhart.
But this time, not only the two of them were summoned, but also Her Majesty the Queen's oral instructions, which made it necessary.
"The Prime Minister has arrived." A swordsman from the Holy Knights walked in and reported.
Rodhart and Bishop Javi looked at each other with the same look. This was the person they had been waiting for.
The prime minister in official uniform walked in under the leadership of the swordsman. At the same time, the eyes of the cardinal and Rodhart met hers. Almost at the same time, their eyes met.
Their hearts moved. They all knew that something happened.
The prime minister's face was very calm and his demeanor was very natural. It seemed that nothing unusual had happened. But from their eyes, they could see that this calm was not the shallow surface of the lake, but the deep stillness of the ocean surface.
Although it seems calm now, there may be endless waves and undercurrents hidden underneath.
Rodhart's heart sank. This showed that the prime minister knew something inside and was fine. Naturally, that person was also fine.
Bishop Javi's mood is much more complicated. He is very confident in his father's strength and judgment. He believes that even when facing Gru and Lancelot, the Marquis has enough strength and tact to escape. So he
It's not that I'm worried about the Marquis. Although it seems that the boy doesn't know how to get rid of the Marquis, which does make people a little uneasy, but the current situation is almost under control, and there is no way he can do anything alone.
The entire Holy Knights were on guard in the palace. Not even a fly could fly in. So the questions that moved his heart were about her.
Even though it was just a quick glance, Bishop Javi could feel that the way she looked at him contained hundreds of times more than before. There was no doubt that she already knew who she was and what she was going to do when she came back.
What, what did you do.
But even so, her expression was still so calm, and she could hide so many emotions. Her scheming and scheming were outstanding even among men. And she knew that this might be someone targeting her.
He was summoned urgently, and he also knew that his sister was in the hands of others. But he still came alone. His courage and heart were not even inferior to those of men. So Jia Wei was very moved.
In his eyes, strength and weakness have always been the most important criteria. Those women who can't even control their own feelings, are short-sighted and have no magnanimity, such as her queen sister. No matter how beautiful he is,
Even though she may not be the only one, she is definitely the woman who catches his eye the most, the woman who is most qualified to enter his life path. And he still has regrets for her, she is the most important to him.
A symbol that represents oneself completely transcending the past.
The most important thing is that even he himself is not usually aware of the deepest part of his heart. She does have a position that cannot be replaced by any concept of strength or weakness, and cannot be judged by any values. That is the warmth and softness in his heart that can radiate.
The biggest thing.
Such a woman, and now the two of them are standing in such a strange hostile position with each other. Jia Wei's mood is a little weird. But no matter what his mood is, the current situation is the most important. He smiled calmly at
The Prime Minister bent down and saluted: "I'm waiting for you, Prime Minister."
The prime minister nodded slightly, looked at the cardinal deeply and without revealing any trace, and sat down expressionlessly.
Rodhart immediately signaled all the swordsmen and guards to retreat far away. Then he ordered all members of the Holy Knights to shrink to a hundred meters outside the dormitory for defense, ensuring that they would not hear anything said inside.
He could also ensure that no one would sneak in or get close to him. In this way, he felt more at ease. With the help of the Holy Knights, the most elite swordsmen and high-level magicians in hundreds of empires, even if Gru and Cedros came to resist him personally,
.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, you can invite Her Majesty the Queen to come out." Thomas said in a deep voice, looking at the space behind the screen that was blocked by the screen.
The cardinal withdrew his gaze from the Prime Minister, glanced at the ministers present, and said slowly: "Actually, it is not Her Majesty's intention to have you come here today, but it is just a decision made by Lord Rodhart and I after discussion.
mean……"
"What?" General Thomas slammed the table and stood up, staring at Rodhart. "What are you doing hanging with this guy? Did Captain Roland order you like this when he left? Don't think that
Now you can mobilize the Post Knights to do whatever you want, believe it or not, I will call you right away..."
The cardinal suddenly spoke, and his faint voice interrupted the general's words: "Please calm down, General Thomas. Didn't someone once say to you: Impulse is your own worst enemy? And you yourself know that impulsiveness leads to
Mistakes made are sometimes irreversible...".
This sentence does not seem to be suitable for persuasion now. However, General Thomas's body shook when he heard it. He was stunned, and then slowly sat back in his chair. All the ministers at the table used
He looked at him with very strange eyes, and he couldn't understand how this grumpy general could calm down with such inexplicable words. However, he himself looked at the cardinal with even stranger eyes, and there was actually some fear in him.
Bishop Jia Wei smiled enigmatically. He had lived in this royal capital for twenty years, and had been a deputy under the first politician and conspirator in the officialdom of the royal capital for so long. He knew enough.
There are many, including the fact that the general raped and killed a civilian girl in a fit of impulsiveness after drinking one night. In the end, he was able to hide it under the cover of the experienced politician. And what Bishop Jarvi just said
In short, it was exactly what the well-meaning politician said to the general at that time.
The most important thing that the well-meaning but secular politician and Bishop Javi's former idol taught him is that intelligence and means are the truly useful things in officialdom. That idol once revealed the personalities of all the noble ministers in the royal capital.
He has a clear understanding of habits, hobbies, and even unknown faults. Although he himself will never need these, they are very useful to the current Bishop Javi. This is also the reason why he dares to come to the royal capital alone.
one.
Everyone fell silent. The cardinal sighed softly and said: "Actually, it is a bit abrupt to curse you in my name this time, but the situation is indeed very serious and has reached a level that you cannot imagine, so I
Lord Rodhart and I had no choice but to do this." He paused and raised his voice in an aggravated tone. "You must still remember the incident a year ago when the vampire caused havoc in the Royal Hunting Ground..."
Everyone nodded, and the expressions of several of them changed. They had experienced it personally. The bloody and cruel scene at that time was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
"Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I heard that this vampire was eliminated at the hands of the Prime Minister. Is that right? Then the Prime Minister must have fresh memories of this matter?" Bishop Javi looked at the Prime Minister and asked.
.
"Yes." The Prime Minister replied calmly, and his pair of small but charming eyes looked at him calmly. Only he could feel the things contained in his eyes, but he could not tell them.
Bishop Javi couldn't help but smile in his heart, confronting a woman he vowed to get in this way. This was really interesting and weird. But on the surface, his expression was extremely heavy and muffled.
Said: "The Prime Minister must also remember that the vampire almost bit Her Majesty the Queen on the neck. Yes. All the ministers present at the time must also remember this very clearly..."
Several ministers just nodded, and the Prime Minister just replied calmly: "Yes."
Bishop Javi continued to say in a sad tone: "Everyone should still remember clearly that Her Majesty the Queen suddenly felt unwell a few days ago... and then there was the appearance of vampires in the capital..."
No one spoke. Everyone here was not a dull-minded mediocre person. They all vaguely sensed the strong ominous flavor in the cardinal’s words. Many of them had panic in their eyes, except for the prime minister.
The adults still have that strange flat look in their eyes.
Jia Wei became even more curious. He wanted to know whether there was a way in her space to break this situation, or whether she was too desperate to accept this dead end. If there was a way, what would it be? He glanced at the people present.
The ministers glanced at each other and said in a very sad and heavy voice as expected: "When I was treating Her Majesty the Queen, I discovered that there was an unusual condition in Her Majesty's body. As a result, another vampire was discovered in the royal capital.
Traces. So Lord Rodhart and I jointly investigated, and finally discovered... that the vampire did bite Her Majesty the Queen at that time, and... Her Majesty the Queen had actually become a vampire..."
"What?" "Nonsense." "Impossible." A cry of exclamation sounded among the ministers. Although they were all mentally prepared, they were all panicked. The elderly Minister Johnson stood up and roared:
"If something was really going on, why didn't Bishop Ronis see it at that time? Is there any need for a kid like you to talk nonsense here now?"
"According to my investigation at the Magic Academy, after asking the priests at the time, I learned that Bishop Ronis did not go to inspect it personally at that time, but asked a priest to inspect it." The cardinal did not give in to the doubts of the ministers at all.
In order to roar, his voice suddenly dropped and became even more majestic. "And this priest was the one who later assassinated Bishop Ronis and finally Duke Mrak. He was also the person behind the vampire incident.
The mastermind."
"He was the one who originally released the vampire, and the good show he did was just to get closer to Bishop Ronis. Everyone knows this. The guy also saw that His Majesty had a crush on the then Princess.
Because of his goodwill, he turned the then princess into a vampire..."
Following the cardinal's words, the commotion among the ministers became more intense. These people who were originally wily and scheming people are now like headless flies. This news is not only a huge impact on them, but also on the entire imperial court and the entire empire.
However, these words are very reasonable. The situation at that time was indeed as the cardinal said. Inferring that it would develop like this, it seemed inevitable.
But even if it is reasonable, no one can easily accept this fact. The old Marquis of Minsk said solemnly: "After saying so much, do you have any evidence? Where is Her Majesty the Queen? We need to ask her face to face."
Bishop Javi let out a long sigh, nodded and said: "Of course, this is why Lord Rodhart and I invited everyone here... Now I would like to invite everyone to see Her Majesty the Queen." He turned and walked towards the screen.
, pushed open, revealing the big bed at the back, with Her Majesty the Queen lying on it.
When they saw Her Majesty the Queen, everyone exclaimed because the first thing they saw were the two white fangs protruding from Her Majesty's mouth.
The prime minister's expression was still so resolute and plain, but tears finally came to his eyes.
She already knew all this before coming here. But when she saw the two terrifying fangs on her sister's mouth, she finally couldn't help it. No matter how strong a person is, there is a bottom line, let alone her
He also knew that he had a certain responsibility for this matter. The story he made up to cover up the truth for his father had become a fact in everyone's mind, and now it had become an argument in the mouth of the cardinal.
The tears in her eyes were extremely sad, but her face, which was as calm as possible, looked even stronger.
