Keslinton cursed inwardly.

Although this is the case, because he has no physical exercise, no self-control and protection, and no magical talent, Keslinton is now in his 40s and is considered old.

Without the help of the mysterious magician, he would be gasping for breath even when speaking.

But no matter how much resentment she felt now, she couldn't stop Viloria Excelsior from talking.

Viloria stood in the center and said indignantly, "After you fell ill and neglected government affairs, he, Kerslinton Sotoop, began to disobey your royal orders, from giving money to giving food, and from ordinary wheat flour to black flour mixed with sand and gravel to make up for it."

"The flour mixed with sand and stones cannot be filtered out even by sifting, and this has been going on for two years now.

“If I had not been submissive to your majesty’s royal power and maintained awe in you, I would have already broken into the homes of those treacherous officials who were enriching themselves and ripped them open.

"Because of long-term consumption of flour mixed with sand and stones, half of the orcs are now dead or sick due to indigestion. They have long hated certain people."

Veloria took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, in the early years, the orcs submitted to the previous king and have long been part of our country's people. Now they are instigated by traitors who want to lead them to rebel. Please order a thorough investigation and give justice to the people under your rule."

The old man sat on the throne, quietly looking at the ministers below. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, or perhaps he was just in a daze.

The air fell silent, and no one dared to interrupt the person's thoughts. After an unknown amount of time, the tired voice slowly sounded.

"Then, Lord Veloria, this matter is up to you..."

"Wait, father." The young man beside the throne stepped forward urgently.

Keslinton, who was staring at the person below with a dead look in his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person standing up.

If the investigation power of this matter were handed over to that old man Axosenio, there would be no one left alive.

He is the eldest prince's man. Given his importance, the other party is bound to want to rescue him.

Without his help, the eldest prince would not have been able to sit on the throne safely and securely.

"Sodar, what do you want to say?"

Thordar bowed and saluted, then said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, although the orcs say that they are indeed the people of the kingdom, they are a foreign race after all, and they do not produce anything.

"Food, clothing and daily necessities all require supplies from the kingdom. I'm sure that Marquis Keslinton didn't do it on purpose."

This seemingly good remark almost made Keslinton so angry that he choked and passed out.

Although the eldest prince was the dumbest and easiest to control, that's why he sided with this faction, but he didn't expect the other party to be so brainless.

Your father said that this matter still needed to be investigated, but you just convicted me directly.

If he had not been absolutely certain that the eldest prince and Duke Excelsior could not possibly be on the same boat, he would have suspected that they had joined forces to get him today.

Looking at the king's scrutinizing eyes, he knew that this eldest prince who was only able to rely on the power of others would definitely not be able to handle it, so he quickly attracted the king's attention.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Axosenio is trying to frame me with just his mouth. If I leave it to him to investigate, he will have the final say on the outcome."

"Oh, then who will investigate what you said?" The old king said slowly, his scrutinizing eyes never leaving Thordar.

The latter lowered his head and cold sweat gradually seeped out of his back.

“Of course, we need to find a candidate that everyone can trust. His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a good reputation throughout the kingdom.

"Even if it is a dispute between civilians, he will definitely treat it fairly and impartially. Your Majesty, please hand over the investigation power to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

As the saying goes, you can't hang yourself on one tree, and a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Keslinton is well aware of this.

The third prince is usually upright and humble. Everyone who has dealt with him will praise him, and he also has a very good reputation among the common people.

Now everyone may think that the third prince will not get involved in this mess, but only he knows that he is also a very ambitious person.

If the previous king had not established the "succession system" in order to prevent his descendants from killing each other, the eldest prince would never have been able to sit on the throne.

He saw the hesitation in Axosenio's eyes. The other party was probably deceived by the appearance of the third prince. As long as this old man stopped making trouble, he still had room to maneuver.

"Lord Veloria, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is a qualified knight. I agree to let him investigate."

what?

He was hoping that Viloria would agree, but when she did, he started to have doubts again.

Is it that easy?

But no matter what, the result is good.

Hahaha, Axelsonio is really getting old and confused.

But at this moment, he ignored one person.

At this time, Sodar lowered his head, his eyes full of anger. You fat pig, it turns out you had been involved with his brother behind my back.

He would definitely not leave an enemy to fight against him.

"His Majesty."

Keslinton looked up in astonishment, with a bad feeling in his heart. Whatever this ancestor wanted to do, everything was over.

"Sodar, do you have anything else to say?"

“Your Majesty, although my third brother is upright, he is too merciful.

"At the beginning, my brother and I were on the street, and suddenly a thief stole his purse. Afterwards, the thief was caught by the guards. Not only did my third brother not punish the thief, he also gave the money to the thief.

“That’s because the thief has a blind mother, a lame father, and a younger sister at home.

“It’s right to help them, but stealing is a violation of the kingdom’s laws after all.

“No one knows whose money the thief has stolen before. What if it’s a family with even greater financial difficulties than his?

“What if the thief continues to steal afterwards?

"So Third Brother did good things, but he also did bad things."

Kelslington, who was kneeling on the ground, was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Did the prince take the wrong medicine when he went out today?

After I escape this disaster, I will continue to love him and infiltrate the Third Prince's inner circle.

He only wanted to have money, power, and beauties, but didn't want to engage in dangerous escapades that would kill the prince. This pig-brained guy must have thought he was a traitor.

He swore that he would never look for bad teammates again.

He was about to force a word in when the old king spoke first, slowly.

"Oh, you mean, Tapu will bend the law for personal gain?"

Thordar knew that his father hated brothers killing each other the most, so he quickly denied it, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. I was just afraid that my third brother would be deceived by the villain, so I was soft-hearted and let the real criminal go."

"Oh, then tell me, who is the most suitable person to conduct the investigation?"

"Of course it's Duke Viloria. In this incident, he is both a victim and a fair and selfless person. I believe that Duke Viloria will not let the real murderer go."

When the old king heard the eldest prince's words, a meaningful look appeared in his turbid eyes. He finalized the matter without asking any further questions.

"Then so be it."
