Honkai, the Horror Rabbit Development Plan!

If there is no further progress, the three major families will probably take this opportunity to take a bite back on the grounds of the incompetence of the castle council - the meat cannot be eaten after it is handed to the mouth, then don't blame the archbishop for taking the meat back and eating it again Cut off a piece of your flesh!

Under such circumstances, the nobles of the castle council finally couldn't hold back the pressure and prepared to take a political adventure.

They arrested a large number of civilians who had received Karen's support, gathered them all in the square, and persecuted them on the grounds of sheltering criminals.

That's right, it was a hostage who forced Karen to show up.

If it succeeds and the civilian casualties are not large, then there is nothing to say, everything will go according to the nobles' expectations, but if it fails...

Although with the ability of the nobles, as long as the procedures are correct and the charges are appropriate, there will be no chaos... The price will be borne by the entire system of Destiny.

But this is essentially a political adventure. The persecution of a large number of civilians to death is passing the knife to the three major families. The nobles will definitely be scraped off, and the rights of the parliament will shrink.

The nobles' eyes were reddish, and bloodshot eyes appeared in the corners of their eyes. They hadn't slept for several days.

Will Kallen come?

......

If she didn't come, it wouldn't be Kallen.

In the distance of the square, a figure slowly walked over, wearing the uniform of Valkyrie of Destiny, with braids neatly tied up, looking directly at the soldiers and nobles in the square.

Chapter 46 Conversation between the Archbishop and Otto

Karen was arrested.

In the study room, a glass wine glass was scattered on the floor, and the wine gradually seeped in through the cracks in the floor tiles.

It was supposed to stand firmly on the table for people to appreciate, or to hold the wine for people to taste, but now it is broken on the ground.

The owner of the wine glass accidentally dropped it on the ground, because the news of Karen's arrest was too big a blow to the owner of the study.

He never thought about the circumstances under which, as a Valkyrie with the strongest Destiny, the personal force ceiling of the entire Destiny would be arrested.

It was only later that Otto found out what the nobles had done. Before that, he had been busy exonerating Karen, so he was so busy that he hardly had time to pay attention to other things.

All the plans of the blond man with blue eyes are based on the fact that Kallen will continue to wander outside the control of destiny.

Slandering, smearing... All the public opinion offensives and dirty water against Karen, in Otto's eyes, it doesn't matter, whether it is a saint or a witch, it does not affect a man's love for her.

Everything outside is unreliable. As long as the essence remains unchanged, those nobles who slandered Kallen will not succeed, and the dirty water will eventually wash away.

Under such circumstances, as a powerful person next to the Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apocalypse would have plenty of time to exonerate Karen little by little and bring her life back to normal.

But the premise of all this is that Karen cannot fall into the hands of those nobles. Before hearing the exact news, Otto always thought so-no matter how the situation changes, Karen's minimum personal freedom and life Safety is absolutely guaranteed.

But the reality shattered his fantasy, making all his secret efforts in vain.

Otto moved his steps, the soles of his shoes stepped on the shattered glass slag, and he didn't realize it. In his heart, an uncontrollable sense of panic and palpitations was growing.

Karen was put in prison, and he knew what would happen afterwards without thinking about it. Conviction, and then trial... Everything will be very fast, and he will not give himself any chance to slowly turn things around.

no!not like this!

find a way...

At this moment, Otto, who has been highly integrated into the Destiny, will be unable to hold on when facing the pressure of an entire class within the Destiny... Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is that he is a member of the Apocalypse family , and the identity of the son of the archbishop.

His father is the most powerful person in the entire destiny and in the entire Europe. If he can get his support, Karen will be saved.

It's just... the father is a purely political creature, if there is no conflict of interest, the words of his own son may not be able to enter his heart.

"Try it anyway!"

There was nothing else he could do.

----

Bishop's Hall.

Otto stood in front of his father, looking up at the old man with an old face, his palms were sweating, but he didn't allow himself to shrink back.

All that needs to be said has already been said, for the sake of success rate, he didn't even let go of the emotion card, just for the slightest hope.

The archbishop, Otto's father, Nicholas Apocalypse, looks down on his third son.

"This opportunity is once in a lifetime for the nobles of the parliament." The archbishop said slowly in an old voice, "The aftermath of the failure of the Eastern Expedition has not subsided, and Kaslana's youngest daughter handed over another scandal."

"In the thousands of years of history, the three major families have never been so embarrassed, and the castle council will definitely not let it go."

"They have always wanted to destroy the system in which the three major families share power and force us to cede power to the parliament—and we have never backed down on this issue."

The most powerful old man in Europe said wearily.

"I'm old......"

"As we get older, people become more and more stupid, making big mistakes without knowing it... The fiasco of the expedition should have sounded a wake-up call for me, but I hesitated."

"I'm still too greedy for power." The old man sighed, "I didn't think of retreating as an advance, but instead fell into the trap. The nobles took action against Kaslana, which is the result of my failure to deal with the failure of the Eastern Expedition."

"The nobles' impeachment of the three major families is fierce. I am responsible for this. We cannot avoid the series of turmoil caused by this. We can only try to exchange and stop losses."

"Otto."

"Karen must die."

......

Even though he had expected it, Otto felt as if he had been hit hard, and he felt dizzy all of a sudden.

Before coming here, he had already used all available methods and begged all the people he could think of, but after finally getting no results, he came to his biological father with the last glimmer of hope.

What was obtained was such a result.

At this moment, Otto just kept repeating these six words like an obituary in his mind, and didn't even pay attention to what his father was saying.

......

"Karen is a victim of this political turmoil, not the first, and will not be the last... After her death sentence, I will retire from old age, following the wishes of the Castle Council, but will also let them Caught off guard."

"I will carry out the power transfer when the nobles are not prepared, so that they will not have room to intervene, but the question is, who can succeed the position of Bishop?"

"...the most desirable heir is dead."

"My Ferdinando... If he is still alive, the failure of the Eastern Expedition will never affect this point; Fabian? My second son, who is fierce and weak, is useless."

"And you, Otto..."

Hearing his father call his name, Otto raised his head subconsciously, but found that his father, who he thought was a completely political creature, actually showed a little warmth towards him at this moment.

"I usually pay little attention to you, but I never underestimate you because of this. You are my son no matter what, and I always pay attention to you."

"Of all the children, you are the most complicated..."

"Inherited your mother's intelligence, learned a bit of scheming from me, and the cunning part is very much like your grandfather Frank... People say you are weak and incompetent, but the fact is obviously not the case. You immediately A great effort is enough to prove your ability."

"It's a pity that all your abilities and brains have been used on that woman Karen. If the efforts you made to excuse her were used in real business, I wouldn't have a headache about the heir."

Otto's eyes brightened slightly.

"What? Think I've given you a chance?"

"You are indeed excellent, but your mind is a little crooked, and your prestige, skills and political capital are far from enough."

"...Let me just say it clearly. If you want to be the archbishop, you are not qualified to save your Karen."

Chapter 47 Please tell the bishop that Kallen refuses his request

The hope was shattered, and the archbishop personally blocked Otto's thoughts that had just arisen.

But he didn't get depressed, and planned to continue listening.

After so many years, Otto can be considered to know his father. If there is really no possibility, he will never allow himself to stand here and listen to his nagging.

"But... there are still some surprises."

really.

Otto clenched his sweaty hands tightly.

He knew that what his father was going to say next might really be his last hope, no matter what... no matter what, he had to fight for it!

"You can't get the seat of the Bishop of Destiny, but the position of the head of the Apocalypse family is still yours, but there is a condition, and this condition begins with the accident I mentioned."

"That's why you're still here listening to me talk to you."

......

"Kaslana."

The old man said seriously.

"It is already the biggest hidden danger to Destiny and even the three major families. Today is different from the past. Kaslana is no longer our strong ally."

"If Francis was still alive, he would never let his precious daughter fall into such a field, and the castle council would never want to ride on our heads. Unfortunately, there is no if in the world..."

"Alas..." the bishop sighed wearily.

"The current Patriarch of Kaslana has no ability to match him at all, Luca, he's just useless—"

"A dying sick dog."

"And today, ten years later, the only representative of the Kaslana family is Karen. She is forced to shoulder the burden of the family."

"After all, Francis... died too early."

"Now Kaslana has fallen to the bottom, anyone can step on it, and the three major families have become inseparable for thousands of years, if Kaslana is not brought under our control , it will sooner or later become the Achilles' heel of our three families."

"Otto, I believe you are as smart as you, and you should have already guessed what the price I want to offer you is."

Otto's fingers moved, trembling as if in reflex.

"Karen, Francis' precious daughter, has become one of the few shining pearls of Kaslana's family to the world, Otto...I want you to fulfill your marriage contract with her."

An ambitious smile finally appeared on the archbishop's old face.

"Go and marry Karen, no matter what means you use, no matter how noble or humble, I just want the result."

"I know you are very good at this, Otto, you just need to use the methods you used to help Kallen in the dark, and use it again on Kallen herself. It's not difficult."

"There's Kallen's life and the love you dreamed of on the one hand, and the dirty tricks you used to get to the top of politics on the other. You don't need to think too much about it, do you?"

"In return, I will keep Kallen, hand over the position of Patriarch to you, and clean up Luka for you—it's that simple."

The Archbishop turned his back completely and let Otto go.

He thought he had counted Otto's lifeblood, and after giving him everything he wanted, his third son Otto would fulfill his ambition for him.

As a political creature, he thought he knew Otto well enough, but he still couldn't see the essence of Otto's dirty thinking.

----

Otto withdrew from the bishop's hall and watched the door slowly close.

Now there is a way to save Kallen, and even to fulfill his lifelong dream - to marry the woman he loves.

But he was not happy at all, and there was even a trace of sadness emerging from his heart.

Sure enough, the father is the father, and even a ray of warmth is just a selective expression of huge interests.

This old man has never learned to think about problems from pure emotion, and will never have such an option.

Faced with the choice given by the archbishop, Otto had no ability to refuse, and he also knew that Karen would not agree to such a request.

But so what?

I asked for everything, and I was given a choice. I have done everything I can.

How about not trying?

----

In the dungeon, Otto saw Kallen again.

He did not use all kinds of base and despicable means to achieve his goals as the archbishop said, but chose to tell the truth, including the archbishop's analysis and his own choice.

Kallen, who hadn't seen her for a long time, had fluffy hair at this time, which was caused by not combing for a long time, and her eyes also lost the vitality they once had.

What Tianming did gave her a big blow, and what directly tore away all her feelings for Tianming was the nobles' behavior of taking ordinary people as hostages in order to arrest her.

The organization no longer deserved her respect.

What Otto said just now made Kallen completely give up on Destiny. What she saw was that the top management of Destiny did not care about the life and death of ordinary people. As an organization that swore to defend the people, it has completely deviated from its original intention.
