The carriage to the royal city had not yet reached the city gates, and Todd, who was sitting in the carriage, could hear a noise in the distance.

Cumberland's unique loud voice was the first to reach his ears: "This is a despicable murder! The Holy Cult Army should be regarded as a direct subordinate army of His Majesty, but it has caused such a big scandal! This is all because you are used to being arrogant and indulgent on weekdays!"

As the commander of the Holy Cult Army, Ackerman argued, "Grand Master, no one wants to see what happened today, but this is indeed an accident. ”

Cumberland raised his voice: "Bullshit! Then let me ask you, since the last attack, Jacqueline has been ordered not to leave the Holy Army camp without permission, how did she sneak into the wedding venue, and how did she pretend to be a maid?"

"I believe it was all some work negligence. ”

"Negligence?!You should know better than I do, if it weren't for someone behind the scenes, where might she have a chance to get in?!"

Ackerman was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It was an accident. ”

"Look in a mirror and look at your face! Your expression is telling me that you don't even believe your own words!"

The voice of the kingdom's prime minister, Emerson, rang out: "Don't say it again, since this matter has happened, there is no benefit in blaming each other, how to deal with the aftermath is the key!"

Cumberland said angrily: "Randall has the title of knight, he participated in the battles of Lone Rock City and the Holy Acropolis, and he is a human hero known to the whole city!

Several shamans of different races looked at each other, trying to open their mouths to defend something, but they didn't know what to say.

The Valkyrie leader, Evie, leaned her back against the wall, her arms folded over her chest, watching the group of people arguing there as if she were watching a play.

Finally, with a shout from the guard, this time the argument came to an end.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Todd's carriage slowly approached the gates of the royal city.

However, with the clatter of wheels crushing the slates, the carriage had no intention of stopping.

The crowd watched as the king's carriage passed by and into the inner city.

The anxious Cumberland wanted to step forward, but found a close attendant trotting all the way and said to everyone: "Your Majesty has an order, everyone go to the side hall and wait for a while!"

Ackerman scratched his head, "Wait a minute?"

Emerson called out to his attendants, "Is there anything else Your Majesty needs to attend to?"

The latter shook his head and said, "I don't know, Your Majesty just ordered you to wait." ”

Evie looked at the confused appearance of everyone, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she turned and walked into the inner city.

Walking into the King's Audience Room, Todd changed into civilian clothes, sat down in a chair, and began to open the reports and materials on the table.

There was no knock on the door, and before the guards at the door could make a report, Evie pushed the door and walked in directly.

Todd didn't raise his head: "I warned you before, say it before you come in." ”

Evie snorted, "I've never heard you complain about this when you called me to the bedroom at night. ”

Todd shook his head with a wry smile and waved the guard back.

Evie fell back into the couch, grabbed the snake fruit from the silver plate with her right hand, rubbed it on her body casually, and bit it down directly.

Todd asked as he reviewed the papers, "Barbara's injury?"

"It's not good, it's not bad. ”

"What do you mean?"

"All Holy Army soldiers have regeneration abilities ranging in strength and weakness, and Elves are no exception. Unless it is a direct fatal wound to the head or heart, the Holy Army soldier will not die on the spot. Evie chewed on the flesh of her mouth as she said, "But the dagger pierced a little badly, and it hurt part of the heart muscle." ”

"Heart muscle?" Todd stopped his pen, "What did the doctor say?"

"Barbara will survive, but she won't have any strenuous activity that hurts her heart for the rest of her life. ”

"There can't be any strenuous activity that hurts the heart?"

"Hmm, the day-to-day actions are basically fine, but there is a troublesome ......"

Todd sighed, "Fertility." ”

Evie nodded and said, "That's right, the doctor said that giving birth to a child will cause a huge burden on the heart, and it will make the wound of the heart serious, which may be life-threatening." ”

Todd closed his eyes: "So, the doctor advised them to give up the child in the womb. ”

Evie's expression was a little gloomy: "Moreover, it is recommended not to get pregnant in the future." ”

"What do they say?"

"Randall had already learned the news when I left, but Barbara was still unconscious. As for their decision, I don't know. ”

Todd got up from his chair, looked out the window and said, "Give up the kid......"

Evie whispered, "If it were me, I would never give up on the child." ”

Todd shook his head and asked in a low voice, "What is the reaction of the outside world to this matter?"

"Quarrels, conflicts, chaos. ”

"Be more detailed. ”

Evie put down the snake fruit and said slowly: "Jacqueline was caught by the Knights at the wedding scene and was directly imprisoned in the prison of the Knights' barracks. The shamanic assembly was very unhappy with this and demanded that she be transferred to the prison of the Holy Army. ”

Not only did the Order refuse this request, but they also publicly stated that they would thoroughly investigate the murder, believing that someone must be behind it. ”

Todd asked, "What about the attitude of the people?"

"Some of the human inhabitants who attended the wedding have already protested to the Holy Army, and they have gathered and called on all humans to march against this injustice. ”

Todd nodded slightly.

Evie asked curiously, "Aren't you going to stop these people?"

Todd turned his head to Evie and asked, "What would you do if it were you?"

Evie raised her eyebrows: "The supreme gods do not need restless believers, all troublemakers will be killed on the spot, and their souls will forever fall into an extremely cold hell." ”

Todd shook his head and said, "Doing so is tantamount to pouring a jar of oil on the flame of hatred." ”

"So what should be done?"

Todd didn't answer the question, and asked Evie, "Did you find the person I asked you to look for?"

"He's in the hallway. ”

"Let him in. ”

Evie glanced at Todd, turned and walked out.

Moments later, a middle-aged man followed the Valkyrie into the King's Audience Room.

The middle-aged man has a standard Slavic face, with a long head, a high forehead, low cheekbones, thin lips, a slightly raised chin, slightly pale temples, and a tall but slightly chubby build.

Seeing this person, a warm smile rarely appeared on Todd's face.

An agitated middle-aged man rushed in front of Todd and knelt on one knee for a standard audience.

Todd smiled and said, "Huggins, you've gotten fatter and your hair is a little grayer than before......"
