Chapter 66: Gladstone's Prestige

After Carol's scandal spread throughout the royal city of Monty, it caused quite a stir, and the second prince Faller was imprisoned in the prison of the Holy Temple on the spot.

The royal blood is defiled, and this is not a trivial matter.

In the eyes of the Pope, who holds the divine power, this is more serious than the siege of the city of Monty by a million orcs.

Scandals can't be groundless, there must be a reason.

The Pope sent the Templars to take the blood of the King and Falle, respectively, and put them on the verbecies of a professional high-ranking magician.

The final result confirmed that Faller did not have Monty's blood, and the newly acquired position of prince was permanently deprived, and he was sent to the Lingnan wilderness with the word "prisoner" tattooed all over his body, deprived of all rights, and was not allowed to set foot in the royal city for the rest of his life.

The ups and downs of life come so fast that even Faller himself can't accept it, as if he is having a nightmare that he hasn't woken up yet.

One second he was still a promising prince, and the next second he became an exiled criminal, and his status plummeted.

After the matter was revealed, the Templars surrounded Empress Dale's bedchamber as quickly as they could.

The Pope came to the scene in person and interrogated in public: "Empress Dale, you have fornicated with Carol and tarnished the royal blood, can you confess?"

"Your Excellency, I plead guilty! But all this is the crime of the Lord of Carol, who drunk me ......"

The latter words, Queen Dale wanted to speak and stopped, unable to say it in public.

This is a great humiliation for her!

After returning from the Planet City that day, Queen Dale hid in the boudoir and spent her days fasting and copying divine decrees, hoping to cleanse her soul from Carol's defilement.

But paper can't contain the fire after all, and the secret will be revealed one day, it's just a matter of time.

"Take off the title of queen, demote to a commoner, live in seclusion in the dormitory, and are not allowed to leave half a step from now on. ”

After the Pope announced the verdict, the Knights Templar sealed the Empress Dell's bedchamber and placed her in permanent imprisonment.

King Monty has recently been bedridden and unable to govern the government, which originally belonged to him, but now all the responsibilities are taken over by the Pope alone, and even began to interfere in the selection of the prince.

"Who do you think can be the prince of the children born to the other concubines? But it doesn't matter, even if I violate my wishes, I will not be punished. ”

The Pope summoned several henchmen to ask for their advice.

Among them are the council's Karl Elder and the headmaster Mani of the Shenglan Academy of Magic.

"Your Excellency the Pope, you obviously have the most orthodox bloodline, why do you choose a princess and princess?" Principal Mani was the first to speak, saying what he really thought in his heart.

"Bloodline, you mean Princess Leia?"

At the mention of Leah, the Pope immediately kept a straight face, not wanting to continue talking about her.

"I think Princess Leah is the best candidate at the moment, the orcs are invading on a large scale, and the prince needs to be established early to defend against foreign enemies. ”

"Orcs, a bunch of brainless beasts, don't worry, I'll send a magician to destroy them when I have time. ”

The Pope stroked his white beard, his face was full of anger, and he scolded: "Leah, this stinky girl, dared to preach such anti-theocratic remarks as freedom and equality in front of me, and I didn't kill her for the sake of Monty's face."

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin is unforgivable, and she never wants to become the prince of the kingdom in this life.

I'd rather set up those unorthodox bloodlines than let her leave the temple for half a step, and let her spend the rest of her life in the attic prison. ”

"But those princes and princesses who are concubines are mostly mediocre, and they are not as good as Princess Leah in terms of strength and talent. ”

Karl stepped forward to help Principal Mani, who also hoped that the Pope would make Lea the Prince.

"I will not be allowed to be disobeyed. The Pope interrupted the suggestion, "Whoever wants to do Tilia again, don't blame me for blasting you out." ”

After Principal Mani and Carl looked at each other, the two of them bowed together and said, "Minister, still stick to the opinion just now, we don't need your Excellency to do anything, we will leave on our own." ”

"Then get out of here, I'm up to the point, and I don't need your advice. ”

The Pope waved his purple robes, and Mani and Karl saluted and left, but before they could cross the threshold, they were stopped by King Monty's Praetorian Guard.

But at the head of the pack is Gladstone.

"Commander Gladstone?"

Carl was shocked by Gladstone's surprise visit.

Since Gladstone and Monty had a falling out, he had gone to Petersburg, and since then he has completely cut off all ties with the royal city, and he often shirks the orders given by the Pope and the king, and does not obey them anyway.

After all, he has the advantage of being far away from the emperor, and he is handsome, and the king's order can not be accepted.

The hard stubble in the five main cities, the thorns in the flesh, and the fact that they never take divine power seriously, once made the Pope feel that his scalp was numb, but he couldn't do anything about it.

A large number of forbidden troops armed with Changge poured into the temple and disarmed all the Templars.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to take half a step out of the Divine Temple, and those who violate it will be cut first and then played!"

Gladstone's eyes were filled with bloody killing intent, and he held the Bauhinia Knight Sword, which symbolized the king's power, and slowly walked to the main hall, "I'm here to pick up the prince of the Monty Kingdom, please tell me, where is she being held now?"

"Prince? Joke, I haven't decided yet, where are you going to pick up the prince?"

The four high-ranking magicians in charge of the guards stood in front of the Pope, "Gladstone, what do you want to do? This is a sacred temple, not a place for you to mess around." ”

"Whenever a war is fought, all the military power in the kingdom of Monty must be handed over to me, Gladstone, including the magicians of the Holy Temple, and whoever stands in my way will be considered treason. ”

Gladstone drew the Bauhinia Knight's sword and plunged it into the ground, "This sword, with me, is enough to represent the supreme authority. ”

At this time, an earth magician, using the Escape Technique, sneaked into the ground and slipped to the soles of Gladstone's feet, hoping to assassinate him.

"Commander Gladstone is right! Our Monty Kingdom does have this rule, it has been passed down for more than 200 years, and no one can violate the agreement of the ancestors. Principal Mani teleported to Gladstone's side with a water curtain enchantment.

He slammed his foot on the floor, and his brutal strength shook the magician hiding in the ground to death on the spot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before I came, I received an edict from King Monty, expressing his willingness to pass on the throne to Princess Leia. ”

Gladstone took the edict from his bosom and spread it out to the Pope, "And I, Gladstone, the Supreme Commander of the National Order, am willing to swear to follow and protect the will of King Monty. ”

"Gladstone, you're so arrogant, I hope you'd better not regret what happened today. ”

The Pope withdrew from the temple and was escorted away by four magicians.

Although the divine right is supreme, if someone is unwilling to abide by it, even the pope, there is nothing to be done.

"Principal Mani, lead the way!"

Gladstone and Mani, who had known each other for a long time, didn't say too many polite words to him.

Under the guidance of Headmaster Mani, Gladstone led the Praetorian army to the Attic Prison, where he disarmed and detained any Templars he encountered along the way.

The entire temple, including the Pope's bedchamber, was under the control of the Praetorian Army.
