Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

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

There were several rows of people standing below him.

One row included the royal ministers promoted by Bruno, including Minister of State Arsenault, Minister of Justice Texas, as well as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Commerce, the Intelligence Advisor, and so on.

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

In addition, there are a number of nobles, both big and small, including the Duke of Ferrens and the Duke of Andrea.

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

Two days after Bruno suddenly claimed to be injured, Crown Prince Garrett suddenly summoned them here to discuss matters, and 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 training errors."

It was already 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 any longer.

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

"what?"

"What happened, Your Majesty?"

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

"Why did you and the Queen deceive us with lies?"

Garrett's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. 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 5th. He was not lucky enough to survive."

The Hall of Alduin was in silence.

Garrett paused and continued, "My father died at the hands of an assassin!"

coax!

This sentence immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

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

They couldn't believe that Alduin V, who had been chatting and laughing with them during the New Year celebrations a few days ago, had suddenly died at the hands of an assassin.

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

"Yes, we must find the murderer and make him pay the price!" another minister echoed.

"revenge!"

Although Bruno was looked down upon by Ferenc, Andrea and others, his status in the hearts of many nobles and ministers was very high.

During the reign of this king, he secured many benefits for ministers and minor nobles, thus avoiding the fate of being exploited by the top nobles to a certain extent.

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 suddenly tell us?"

To be honest, several ministers who were close to Bruno all knew Garrett's character. Before, with Bruno around, they didn't have to confront him directly.

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

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

Garrett raised his hand, signaling for silence.

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

He said, looking down at Broll, "Broll, tell me what happened that night."

Broll nodded and recounted the events of that night.

However, when he arrived, he had already entered the bedroom, and the missing part was filled in by two knights from the Royal Knights who were responsible for standing guard that night.

After a brief narration, two key pieces of information were revealed:

1. The assassin is very powerful, and is definitely a Knight of the Jiaoyang level;

2. The assassin descended from the sky, and a huge black cloud was floating in the sky under the night sky.

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

The two pieces of information revealed now clearly point to Roning.

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

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

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

Ferrens looked directly at the Crown Prince, his eyes seeming to want him 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?"

Garrett smiled secretly in his heart. So far, everything was going 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."

Garrett finally said the name, with a barely perceptible hint of vindictive pleasure in his voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall exploded again.

Ronin, the son-in-law of His Majesty the King, the guardian knight of the kingdom, the Duke of Conqueror who was recently appointed by His Majesty Bruno, could actually be the murderer who assassinated the King?

This is simply unbelievable!

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

One noble couldn't help but question loudly.

Although he was not familiar with Roning, he was a proud knight and a rising duke, which was enough for many people to respect him in their hearts.

"Yes, Your Majesty has always valued Roning very much, and Duke Roning has also made great contributions to the kingdom. How could he betray?" Another minister echoed.

"Haha, how can a small dukedom satisfy the appetite of the Prideful Sun Knight?"

Ferens sneered and said, "I think Ronin is clearly imitating the former Emperor Orlant and wants to become the only king of this continent. Your Majesty's existence naturally hinders him!"

"A twenty-year-old Jiaoyang has no ambitions. Who would believe it if they told others?"

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

The argument continued for a while, and finally Garrett raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet again.

"Everyone has heard what Broll and the other knights said just now. So I want to ask you a question. Looking at the kingdoms of Alduin and Tricia, how many Knights of the Pride of the Sun are there?"

The hall fell silent again.

The Prideful Sun Knights are so rare that they can be counted on the palm of one hand.

Take the Kingdom of Alduin for example. Now there are only two people, Rhonin and Garrett, plus the great magician Bellora who does not care about worldly affairs.

Garrett continued, "This assassin is not only a Prideful Sun class, but he also has a gigantic flying beast as his mount. Even though the darkness prevented the knights from seeing the beast clearly in the sky, how many flying beasts of that size are there?"

He sneered and said, "So, if the assassin is not Roning, who else could it be?"

The party that had just questioned now joined the silent party.

Arsenault exhaled, "So, Your Highness, how are you going to handle this?"

Faced with two Jiaoyang-level warriors and seven or eight powerful knights above Meteor level, even if the kingdom's nobles unite, they will have to pay a heavy price.

Moreover, the nobles are not a monolithic group, and some of them do not want to face the Duke of Conqueror and the Marquis of Thunder directly.

There were complex emotions flashing in Orseno's eyes. The Kingdom of Alduin, which had been stable and peaceful for more than 20 years, might be about to erupt into civil war.

This is completely inconsistent with Bruno's plan to conquer Theresia.

“I have already taken action.”

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

He had just finished saying this when the sound of a dragon's roar was heard outside.

"Here it comes!" Garrett said in a deep voice.

Everyone's heart trembled. The appearance of the dragon symbolized the arrival of Ronin.

High in the sky, Carlos was flying rapidly.

It was so fast that it left Bob and the other three griffin knights behind the moment it left Ube Territory and disappeared without a trace.

Now, less than an hour had passed and they had arrived above the royal capital.

Blanche looked at the outline of the Golden Feather Palace in the distance and felt very anxious.

"I hope my father is still alive!"

She prayed in her heart and pleaded, "I beg Elrond to do his best to treat him later!"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I carry an antidote and my powerful healing skills are also very impressive. As long as His Majesty is still alive, I will definitely be able to save him!"
