In the First Prison of the Holy City, Count Koval has been tortured into an inhuman form.

Except for that face, there was not a single piece of skin on him that was good. The count was already insane, he walked on all fours on the ground, and from time to time he stuck out his tongue and licked his own feces.

The smell of the chamber was uncomfortable for Fox's nose, and he waved the foul smell in disgust, which would never escape, and left the chamber after less than a minute.

In the warden's office, Furkes threw aside Count Koval's confession and bluntly questioned:

"How convincing can a madman's confession be? Obviously, you are bent into a confession, and this is hardly convincing, and this is your witness?"

"Of course not. "Frankly, I didn't intend to torture an earl, but he was very close to Sean Connery and probably knew some secrets. ”

"This is not a good reason. "You're wasting my time." ”

"Your Excellency, it has been said that the dirtiest place in this world is not in the brothels, not in the prisons, but in the royal palace. For the first time since the people breached the palace, all its secrets were revealed to the public, and most people were only interested in the magnificence of the palace and the lavish toilets of the queen, and there were some people who were very interested in the treasured works of art in the palace, but I was only very interested in the royal archives. Thompson said.

Fuchs patiently listened to the other man continue:

"A report from a court official has come to my attention, a secret report from this official to Carlos IIS, about the secret dealings of the Grand Prince Jean Sauron with the dancers of the palace, and mentioning the girl's surname. ”

"What's her last name?" asked Fuchs.

"Her surname is Severle!" Thompson said, "and that alone succeeded in piquing my curiosity, and it just so happened that I also had a knowledge of the history of the Europa nobility, a family that had been a baronial family under Carlos I, but had been stripped of his title on suspicion of treason. This family lives in Genoa, and I guess this family is probably sending their daughter to the palace for the sake of restoration. The secret report said that the girl was pregnant at the time, and for the sake of royal face, the official advised Carlos II to take special measures. ”

"Is this report true?" said Fuchs's face turned solemn.

"It was written by Carlos II himself and his personal seal, and he ordered the girl to be killed. But another file says that the crown prince took action to protect his lover by informing Jean Solon and that he succeeded in making Carlos II so angry that he was confined to the palace for at least a year, and said that the crown prince was ill and needed to recuperate. "During the year that the crown prince was in captivity, no one knew the whereabouts of the girl, who probably died, and if she had fled the Holy City, the most likely place to stay would have been to flee to her native Genoa." According to Count Coval, there was indeed a girl of about the same age in the Sevel family who was good at dancing and was sent to the Holy City. ”

"Then you need to check the population records of the palace at that time. "Yet your argument is still far-fetched. There are a large number of abandoned babies in this country every day, and every one of them has a prominent pedigree?"

"Most of the archives are now locked in the safe of the Freedom Commission, and I don't have access to them. The information I have obtained was completely scattered by the chaos of the palace when it was breached, and some people have sold these precious historical archives as royal secrets. "As much as we hate this monarchy, we cannot deny that the history of crime is also a part of history." ”

"Well, I'll send someone to investigate, but the stakes are high, and you must not publicize this without my permission. Fuchks said.

"Yes!"

Thompson watched as Fuchs got into the carriage surrounded by his men, a smile on his lips. Either way, he has managed to concoct a fascinating story.

Two days later, Fuchs appeared at an undisclosed location. This is a place that Sean once visited at the invitation of Joseph Frank.

Carlos II was imprisoned here, and the room to his left displayed the remains of a bloodthirsty man, and the room to his right contained two specimens of a blood warrior.

As a prisoner, he has a good living treatment, and he can even take a bath every three days.

However, to remove his crown is the greatest torture for him. All right

Almost overnight, Carlos II's hair was already snow-white, his eye sockets were deep-set, and his skin was sickly pale due to the long absence of sunlight.

To this day, he still can't believe that he will end up like this. But the haughty and stubborn Emperor will never kill himself, for he will try to live in order to see the day when the traitor falls.

"I'm Anthony Fukes!"

Even in the face of a down-and-out emperor who has taken off his halo, Fukes's mood is still quite complicated. There is a certain pleasure in this, and there is a hint of fear hidden in the bottom of my heart.

"I know you, traitor!"

Carlos II struggled to straighten his back, maintaining what little dignity he had.

"Well, whatever you want!" said Fuchs, looking down at the Emperor in a victorious manner, "Mary-Sevel, do you remember?"

"Marie-Sevel?" said Carlos II dismissively, "I will not remember the name of an unknown person." ”

"Then let's talk about Jean Solon, the marriage of your eldest son. "When he was twenty years old, he had an affair that wasn't public?"

Carlos II's face changed, and memories of the past flooded back to him.

"It seems that Your Majesty has remembered something, and I ask again, do you remember the name Mary-Sewell?" asked Fuchs.

"It was a slut and a whore, an uncultured provincial rotten woman. Carlos said almost in a roaring tone.

At this moment, a trace of remorse arose in the heart of Carlos II, it was because of this unknown man that he turned against his eldest son and became an enemy.

However, the use of the most vicious language does not highlight the correctness of his original actions.

"About sixty or seventy years ago, the Sevier family stripped their knighthood because they offended the royal family, and since then the family has been seeking to be reinstated, and for this reason the family has been getting worse every year. More than twenty years ago, they sent a girl from their family who was good at dancing to the palace, and if she was lucky, she would be favored by a member of the royal family. From this point on, you were right, the motives of this girl named Marie Sewell were not pure, she managed to make your eldest son fall in love with her and became pregnant......"

"Therefore, I ordered her to be sent to hell. Carlos II said nonchalantly.

"But the crown prince stopped your men. "Maybe she and the crown prince are truly in love, and at the critical moment, she fled the holy city just to give birth to that child." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Carlos II, puzzled.

"There was a Genoese priest named Bennet Connelly, who was once a suitor of Marie Sevel, and this was certainly what he did before he became a priest. "One day, the priest found an abandoned baby in front of his room. ”

As if he had discovered something incredible, Carlos II looked at Fukes with the eyes of a fool and said:

"It's impossible, it's ridiculous!"

"But you can't completely deny that it's possible. "Although I can't believe it, because it's such a coincidence." ”
