Berlin's story to Joseph puts all the blame on Barlow.

He said that the reason why Pound was designed as a magweave servant was because Barlow coveted Pound's beauty, and he was completely unaware of Pound's "special identity" beforehand.Although the magic pattern was provided by himself, Barlow told himself that Barlow found a light magician who had just shown his abilities, and wanted to master the talent as soon as possible, so he cheated the magic pattern from himself !If Barlow insisted that he was the mastermind who framed Pound, he must be planning to bite himself on the matter of providing the magic pattern in order to get rid of the crime!

As for the gold coins that Burritt embezzled and gave to Pound every year, I don't even know about it, and it has nothing to do with me! !Those gold coins have never passed through my own hands.I only became Burritt's creditor because I saw that Burritt was burdened with gambling debts and couldn't calm down to handle affairs for my father, so I kindly repaid the gambling debts for Burritt! !If Burritt slandered himself for instigating and planning Yunyun behind his back, it must be because he did not agree with Burritt's request for debt relief, so he held a grudge and slandered himself!

According to the above statement, Berlin is very smart to first find out the reason why these two people framed him for Barlow and Burritt.Even if Gonza had obtained an unfavorable confession at this time, it was because of their malicious slander.Some links sound credible at first glance, obviously after careful scrutiny.Even Barlow coveted Pound's point, Berlin really guessed the intention behind Barlow's use of the Hook Leopard.

In addition, Barlow is dead, and there is no way to confirm it; even though Burritt was imprisoned by Gonza, he was only an informant in Berlin's plan to entrap Pound (informing Berlin of Pound's existence). Burritt was not very clear about the series of actions to frame Pound, so Berlin was ready to confront the witness plausibly in front of Joseph.

It’s just that Berlin’s statement, even if Barlow and Burritt are solved, the witness and material evidence that Gonza has investigated in Quinn City is more comprehensive and detailed. If it is all placed in front of Berlin, Berlin will also There is only an indisputable part.That's why Gonza has the confidence to execute Barlow first.After all, if Barlow is not dead, Gonza believes that he and his father are not qualified to welcome Pound back home.

"So, father!! My only mistake is that I failed to remind father of Berit's situation!! I thought that after helping him pay off his debts, he would be able to reflect on his actions! Unexpectedly, he still deceived father all the way!!" Berlin's face was full of anger, "It's really disgusting! Does father know where he is!? I'm not afraid to confront him!!"

Joseph lowered his eyes, and sneered at Berlin's remarks, which further exposed Ava's intention to actively win over his cronies.

After all, it was the Jensen family behind Ava who designed Ava to marry him, and Hesti (Jensen is a collateral line of Queen Hess).When the eldest son of the emperor died suddenly due to injury, Hestia had the first heir crisis. Ava was the chosen pawn at that time. A series of schemes made Joseph have to marry her into the door, as an internal response to monitor Joseph.

It's just that Hestia gave birth to a second son later, and with a new heir, Ava became a dispensable means of preparation.Until five years ago, Hesti's second son passed away due to a broken neck bone in a horse accident, and it was too late to save him. Ava's layout became important again.

So for Gonzal's accession to the throne, Joseph knew that he could not completely break with Ava and the Jansen family.

Joseph doesn't want the help of the Jansen family, but if he breaks with Jansen now, it is likely to remind Hestia to pay more attention to his situation of being Gonzale's enthronement.The second vote of the House of Nobles is about to take place in a month. If the House of Nobles successfully rejects the succession of Empress Jane again, based on the arrangements I have made all along, it is almost a foregone conclusion for Gonzal to ascend the throne.

The reason why he is so active in fighting for the throne for Gonza is because Joseph knows from his own experience that as long as he was once a candidate for the throne, even if he has no intention of competing, when the new emperor's status is consolidated, he is likely to return to liquidate the previous competition By.Joseph had so clearly renounced his right of inheritance back then, but he still suffered a series of precautions and suspicions from Hestia. Joseph was not disappointed.

The princess and Gonzale were just like themselves and Hesti back then.And this time, he won't budge.He will fight for everything for Gonzales.This is to protect Gonza, and now there is Pound.

As for Berlin, the son who was born by design and was raised by Ava since he was a child, Joseph really couldn't afford too much father-son affection.Even so, Joseph originally planned to allocate several cities to Berlin to be self-sufficient.Even if the Jansen family is bound to lose power after Gonzale ascends the throne, at least a few small towns in Berlin will still be able to collect their annual income, so that they will not worry about the rest of their lives.

However, this actually gave Berlin a chance to frame Pound, and the reason was only because Pound resembled Catherine...or in that way...Thinking of this, Joseph's eyes became colder.Berlin's evil plan is enough to ruin a person's life, Pound did not ask for Berlin's life, but Joseph knew that he owed Pound more than that.

Facing Berlin's indignant expression, Joseph responded coldly, "Barlow is dead, do you think Berit will be different?"

A hint of secret joy flashed across Berlin's face, "Father, you mean, Berit has...?"

"I can't break through your words anymore?" Joseph's voice didn't fluctuate.

Berlin froze, his expression turned panicked and nervous, "Father really wants to believe me!! Berlin is my father's legitimate son!! The second son of the second prince!! What's the benefit of framing that wild... Pound!? And , Berlin is absolutely impossible to go against any decision of his father!!"

"Really?" Joseph stared sharply at Berlin for a few seconds, "If what you said is true, I will give you a task."

Seeing that Joseph's words seemed to be loose, Berlin responded happily, "Father, please speak!"

"Tell your mother, get everything ready. A month later, the Prince's Palace will need a grand banquet."

Berlin paused, his face changed slightly, "...a banquet?"

"Pound needs an occasion to reveal his identity, and a banquet will be appropriate." Joseph was almost coldly calm, "From now on, Pound will be my third son, Joseph Hess, on any occasion. "

Berlin grunted, "...any occasion?"

"Any occasion," Joseph knew what Berlin was asking; that meant all the entitlement that came with status, "hopefully, I 'really' believed your just-declared statement."

Berlin's face turns green and white.Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, what Joseph said seemed to still doubt himself, but at the same time gave himself a chance to "remedy".Feeling lucky, Berlin gritted his teeth and chose to lower his head, "...Of course. My father has always had my loyalty."

Joseph didn't want to see Berlin's hypocrisy anymore, turned his head, waved his hands, "Go back," and left the living room after speaking.

Leaving Berlin in place, he clenched his fists and stared at Joseph's leaving back with resentment and complex eyes.

Just like in the past, that has never been stingy to stay a little longer for himself.

***

In the palace of the second prince.

"Clang-------!!!" sounded.

The crisp sound of porcelain hitting and breaking broke the quiet afternoon.

"I want to prepare!? A banquet?? That's what he said!!!"

A petite, good-looking brown-haired woman, her exquisite curly hair was a little messy, and she slapped the table with a grim expression.

She is Joseph's current wife, Ava Jansen.

"For an illegitimate child!!?" Ava's beautiful eyes almost got angry, and asked sharply, "You want me, you want me to go..."

"That's right, that's what my father said!" Berlin irritatedly said, seeing a fragment of a porcelain cup on the ground, he mended his feet to vent his anger, "A *'grand' banquet!! Father is officially recognizing Pound!"

"Jane, it's too deceitful!!" Ava was so angry that she swept the rest of the porcelain cups on the table to the ground, and there was another bang, "I'm going to put my face on that!! Banquet!? Impossible! !"

"Mother!! Why worry about face at this time!!" Berlin was made even more impatient, "The point is to let father let go of Pound!! As long as we cooperate, the banquet will be a banquet! There are so many wild species in the nobles, Not bad for Pound!! Tell Grandpa to slow down, if you continue, Father will really start to doubt me!"

"Ha, doubt?" Ava shrieked nervously, "So what about doubt!? What are you afraid of now!? He wants to let that illegitimate child in, so what if I fight him!! Want to take it back!? Just Wait to pick up a corpse!!"

"Mother!! Then what should I do!!" When Berlin heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "Have you ever thought about me!! I must never be caught again!! Don't you want me to Nothing!?"

After being yelled at by Berlin, Ava finally managed to suppress her anger, and said angrily, "So what if you are kicked out of the house? You are still the heir of our Jansen family! How many broken cities are missing!?"

"Broken city?" Berlin sneered, "Jensen can't even give me a broken city!! Can't he!?"

"What nonsense!" Ava reprimanded with an ugly face, "Your grandfather is the queen's cousin! The deputy deacon of the White House in Huangdulang! If the queen decides to succeed to the throne in the future, but the royal minister..."

"Queen!? How much has she instructed us these years, and how much has she actually given us?" Berlin interrupted Ava sarcastically. Xu’s benefits are all empty shells!!”

"So," Berlin said emphatically before Ava opened her mouth to argue, "Mom!! I will never give up on my father's side!! We have to prepare on both sides, so I ask my mother to prepare the banquet "well" as my father said !!learn!?"

Ava glared at Berlin angrily, "I'm your mother..."

"You owe me this!!" Berlin stood up suddenly and growled.

And these words made Ava's face turn pale, and her delicate lips were tightly pursed.

Seeing Ava's silence, Berlin's face was flickering, and he added gloomyly, "Also, don't touch Pound again."

Throwing away this sentence, Berlin left the back to the equally complicated Ava.

***

Compared to the smoky second prince's palace, Pound and Funk have been staying at the sidelines of the crowded arena for the past few days, watching the shining magic competition against the wind.

After the opening ceremony, the organizers didn't waste any more time, and arranged a whole day of competition the next day.Since each game takes turns on the same field, there will be no simultaneous games.This was originally to prevent the spectators from missing any exciting competition, but it also happened to make this rescue assignment feasible, which was suggested by the representatives of the Saint Laurent Prayer Association, and each was responsible for the rescue of their respective colleges.

It's just that I don't know if the contestants didn't appear too aggressive in the first few days of the competition in order to preserve their stunts before the finals.Players with more chances of winning probably have room to spare; players with more chances of losing even if they want to fight to the end, but the difference in strength cannot pose too much threat to the other side.The more dangerous ones are those who are between equal in strength, but so far there has only been one, where the healer from the Saint Laurent Prayer Club released a light shield and saved them safely.

But Pound Kekong ignored the triumphant sight of the old man after the rescue, and then turned his attention to the next competition that was about to start.

Since the beginning of the competition, Pound has turned on the "Meditation Link" on the sidelines every game, carefully observing the flow and changes of all elements in the field.Thanks to Alvato and Saul's homework, Pound's mind is almost filled with the important spells of the entire system of magic, and Pound is proficient in all aspects of attack, defense and containment.

So when he was doing nothing on the sidelines (not under his responsibility), Pang De gave himself a homework.He wanted to try to see if he could predict the players' next moves from the flow of elements.In the previous games, Pound could only guess [-]% correctly, but gradually, as some important spells were cast repeatedly (dozens of explosive spells were cast after one competition), Pound gradually found There are some ways out.

On the third day of the competition, Pound half-closed his eyes and was concentrating on his homework when he was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"Your Excellency Pound, can I take a step to speak?"

Pound looked back, but it was Lance who didn't seem to be in the right mood these days.
