In the quiet and solemn prayer hall, only the deliberately suppressed breathing of everyone was heard.

Gregory Mian looked blankly at Fred, who came out of the crowd, and asked after a while, "Mr. Fred, what do you want?"

Facing the Pope's condescending scrutiny, Fred's Adam's apple rolled quickly, and he seemed a little nervous, but soon, he adjusted his mentality and said aloud:

"My honorable Gregory, I don't mean to offend your authority, but my father's death is unclear, and I can't accept him being buried like this!"

"Mr. Fred, I can understand your pain and concerns, but I have also personally inspected the remains of Archon Lattom before, and found no wounds, nor did I find any poisoning.

So, your father is dying! "

"Your Majesty, my father's body has always been tough. He was chatting and laughing with us at dinner last night. How could he suddenly die suddenly for no reason? There must be something wrong with this!"

Gregory's face turned gloomy, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Are you questioning my judgment?"

Fred was shocked by the Pope's sharp eyes, and stammered to explain: "I... I didn't mean it, I just, I just wanted to examine my father's autopsy again to confirm the cause of his death... "

"So, you still think there's something wrong with my test results?" Gregory's tone became colder.

Fred was sweating on his forehead, and he could hardly bear the Pope's real coercion. He opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, someone suddenly made a voice and helped Fred to clear the siege. "I think Mr. Fred's request is reasonable, and we should give Consul Letome a careful autopsy."

His Majesty Gregory turned his eyes, looked at Emperor Reinhardt who was speaking, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, I don't think this is necessary. If there is something wrong with Lattom's death, how can I not find out?"

"That's not necessarily true." Emperor Reinhardt smiled and said, "You haven't figured out what the poison I've been poisoned with?"

Gregory narrowed his eyes and looked fixedly at Emperor Reinhardt.

Reinhard the Great also looked at him without flinching.

The atmosphere in the prayer hall condensed again.

Ke Lin coldly looked at the two people facing each other in the hall, and understood that this was a head-to-head confrontation between imperial power and divine power.

But the question is, why is Pope Gregory so insistent on re-autopsy, does he just feel that his prestige has been damaged?

Or are you worried that something will really go wrong?

At the same time, Colin glanced in the direction of Prince Lehi from time to time, only to find that the paladin remained silent from beginning to end, as if everything that happened on the scene had nothing to do with him.

He doesn't seem to worry about whether this will be a conspiracy against him.

Just when the Pope and the Emperor were at a standoff, Queen Midella smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that everyone present is very concerned about the cause of the death of Consul Laetome.

It's not that we can't trust you, but there are some things that have to be explored in depth to get the correct result. "

Pope Gregory coldly defended: "I don't want to desecrate the remains of Archon Letome for no reason."

Queen Midella said tit for tat: "But we are more concerned about the cause of Lord Lattom's death, and the dignity and authority of the consuls of the Senate! If someone dares to kill a consul, then we must not allow it. He's on the loose!"

Fred also recovered at this time, and quickly said: "Yes, Your Majesty. I also agree to dissect my father's body, and I believe that if my father has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely agree to do so!

When the old man was alive, he regarded the responsibilities and authority of the Senate as more important than his own life! "

Speaking of which, Pope Gregory would not be able to forcefully veto it.

Moreover, he also noticed that the nobles present, especially the members of the Senate, nodded in agreement when Fred spoke.

Obviously, none of the nobles present could tolerate the political order of the empire being so brutally destroyed.

In desperation, Pope Gregory had no choice but to nod and agree to dissect the remains of Archon Lattom.

Soon, a coroner was recruited into the prayer hall. Facing the scorching gazes of so many important figures in the empire, this person was really nervous.

But soon, he calmed down, took out the tool, and opened the chest of the Lattom Archon in front of everyone's eyes.

Whoa!

The dark red blood gushed out suddenly, startling the coroner.

It also made everyone present look surprised.

"The deceased had blood in the chest, the cause of death...a ruptured heart!" said the coroner cautiously.

"Wait! Why did my father's heart burst?" Fred asked hurriedly and loudly.

The coroner was sweating coldly on his forehead, as if he was afraid to answer the question.

Pope Gregory suppressed the shock in his heart and took a few steps forward, but when he saw the exposed broken heart, he couldn't hide a look of disbelief on his face.

Colin stretched his neck, but he couldn't see the situation in the coffin, but he knew that the real good show had finally begun.

And just when everyone wondered what the coroner had found, Queen Midella also stepped forward to look at the body in the coffin, and then showed a shocked expression.

It's just that this shock doesn't know how real or fake it is.

"His Royal Highness Prince Leahy, you'd better come and see for yourself." Queen Midella suddenly said to Prince Leahy with a solemn expression.

Prince Leahy, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to realize that this matter had something to do with him, a bit of confusion appeared on his face, but he also came to the coffin according to his words.

Then, his face also changed.

After a long silence, Prince Lehi frowned and said:

"Yes, this is my sword mark."

wow——

Everyone present opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at Prince Leahy.

Colin was also stunned, how could this Paladin be so... frank?

Is it fearless?

Or disdain to lie?

But at the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Isn't there any scars on the body of Archon Lattom? Pope Gregory will definitely not get it wrong, so how could there be a sword mark on his heart?

What kind of swordsmanship can pierce the heart directly without hurting the skin?

Perhaps knowing that many people present had the same doubts, Queen Midella said half an explanation, half questioning:

"Prince Lehi, I heard that you have a swordsmanship called 'Judgment', which can transcend the limitations of space and stab the enemy's vitals, isn't it?"

"Yes." Prince Lehi's expression remained indifferent.

"Then do you think there is another way to directly pierce the heart without damaging the epidermis?"

"As far as I know, no." Prince Leahy said lightly, "You don't have to beat around the bush. I can tell you directly that the injury of Archon Lathom was indeed caused by my 'judgment'."

hum-

There were various whispers of discussion in the prayer hall.

Apparently no one thought that Prince Leahy would admit it so simply.

But what they didn't expect was that Prince Leahy actually denied it again: "But Lattom, I didn't kill it."

This time, the discussion was louder.

Empress Midella smiled brightly and continued to ask: "His Royal Highness, since you denied killing Archon Lattom, how do you explain this sword mark?"

"I can't explain it." Prince Leahy's answer was still so neat.

Colin was a little speechless now.

Does this prince feel that his military power is the best in the world, so he can run wild with it?

Don't even care about this kind of slander now?

But this is a consul of the Senate!

He is one of several important figures standing at the top of the imperial political arena!

In particular, Letome is also the elder of the San Lorenzo family and the uncle of Prince Lehi!

Once this crime is confirmed, no matter how powerful Prince Leahy is, he cannot avoid the fate of betrayal and separation.

At this time, the eyes of the nobles in the prayer hall gradually changed, especially the members of the Senate. They could not bear such a person who broke the rules, even if he was a paladin.

Prince Leahy also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and said with hindsight, "I said it before, I didn't kill people."

Still so domineering, so direct.

But this sentence alone will definitely not convince the public.

Queen Midella seemed to want to excuse Prince Lehi, and asked, "Then, Your Royal Highness, do you think who else can imitate this sword style and leave such a sword mark?"

"No one." Prince Lehi said flatly, with arrogance on his face.

Colin's mouth twitched, almost speechless.

Should you really be proud at this time?

Perhaps it is because he has always been accustomed to using force to solve everything, and is accustomed to the name of the paladin being revealed, and everyone regards him as the incarnation of the gods. Prince Lehi probably has forgotten how to deal with the treacherous conspiracy and frame-up. .

Maybe he really thought that as a paladin, everything he said should be taken for granted by others.

But such ironclad evidence is in front of the public, even if Prince Leahy said that he did not kill anyone, would he be able to convince the public?

Colin glanced around and came up with a negative answer.

Prince Leahy had a motive for murder, and now that he has irrefutable evidence, he can basically be convicted.

Queen Midella said with a smile: "Your Highness, you're embarrassing us. You said that you didn't kill anyone, but you also said that no one could cause such a wound except you. This..."

Pope Gregory said: "His Royal Highness, the world is full of wonders, how can you be sure that no one can imitate this sword style?"

Prince Leahy glanced at the Pope lightly, but did not follow up, but what was revealed in his eyes was not gratitude, but felt that the Pope's words tarnished his swordsmanship.

Reinhard the Great, who was in a wheelchair, finally spoke up, only to hear him coldly say to Prince Leahy: "Uncle, if you can't prove your innocence, then I have no choice but to convict you."

Prince Lehi stared into Emperor Reinhardt's eyes, but did not speak.

Emperor Reinhardt's eyes were deep, and he looked at his uncle without fear, and said at the same time:

"Lexi San Lorenzo, I hereby deprive you of your princely title and expel you in the name of the Emperor of the Radiant Empire!

Unless you can find out the real culprit, please don't take another half step into Yulong City! "

Facing the emperor's trial, Prince Lehi still had no expression on his face, stared at Emperor Reinhard the Great for a long time, and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the prayer hall gradually became stagnant, and everyone felt a terrifying coercion enveloped them, making them unable to breathe.

Colin raised his throat in his heart, for fear that the paladin would kill him on impulse.

Time seemed to stop.

It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like a long time.

When everyone came back to their senses again, they found that the proud paladin had disappeared into the prayer hall at some point.

Colin frowned, obviously not expecting the Prince Leahy to leave without saying a word.

As soon as he left, he was almost convicted of the murder of Letome.

Unless he can find the real murderer.

But Colin had little hope for that.

And he couldn't think of what methods the emperor and queen used, how could they let Lattom die under the stunt of Prince Leahy's fame?

Even Prince Lehi himself admitted that only he himself could use this sword style.

How could he justify it?

It is estimated that he is speechless, and this proud Paladin chose to leave suddenly.

As a result, Prince Lehi was finally successfully squeezed out of the imperial political arena by Reinhard the Great.

Since then, the Radiant Empire has really returned to the emperor's control!

At this time, the voice of Emperor Reinhardt sounded again:

"Okay everyone, let's continue to mourn for Archon Lattom."
