23us. Earl Arryn's face was angular, the hard lines of the corners of his mouth made him look resolute, and his gray hair was extremely short, making him look very lean. The Count of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion wears www.biquge.info black shirt trimmed with gold trim and black trousers underneath. Right now, the body of the eldest prince is still in the cathedral, and all the nobles are mourning.

At the sight of her, the Count knelt down and saluted, then stood up and straightened up.

Every move shows that he is a well-educated knight. Ivana straightened her clothes and headed to Count Arryn.

"Your Majesty, I am shocked by the affairs of His Majesty the Regent. Count Arryn spoke, frowning, "It's just too sensational. ”

Which side are you on?, Ivana was now suspicious, she knew that Andrés had fallen, but she had to keep him in the Imperial Guard. She didn't know how many other people in Thundercastle could make her trustworthy besides Isaac.

"What do you think?" said Ivana, tentatively.

"I'm afraid that by the time Rundstedt arrives at the Tower, who will do justice to my family?" the Count sighed, and he was again in debt, and sat down to Ivana's left.

He was answering the wrong question. Ivana was wearing a long black dress, and she said unhurriedly: "I swear to you with the dignity and credibility of the royal family that what happened to you will still be judged fairly." ”

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. The current emperor's rightful heir, Prince Caesar, is not yet a minor...... "The count said word for word, "his ruling lacks legitimacy......"

"Yes, but the trial can be held in the name of the emperor, and the emperor can not participate. Ivana shifted the subject to the trial, "The trial attended by the archbishop, the members of the Imperial Council, and some of the nobles of high moral standing will still have legitimacy, and the verdict will take effect." ”

Earl Arryn shook his head and reminded, "There must be a Prime Minister." ”

"Hopefully, before Lundstedt arrives, there will be a new prime minister. Ivana smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, your words have reassured me. May the new prime minister be loyal to the emperor. "Count Arryn," in other words, Sebastian's guilt will not be determined until the new prime minister comes. ”

"No, it won't. Ivana shook her head, "He'll be judged by the church." "Ludwig couldn't wait that long. As soon as he knows that I am stalling for time, he will mutini at any time.

"May the light of the seven gods cleanse his soul. "Head of Earl Arryn.

"He is not a sinner until he is judged for sin. Ivana hinted, "What about you, the Count?"

"Her Majesty's law is very rational and rigorous. Earl Arryn exclaimed.

"If he is not guilty, he is still the regent. Ivana went on to hint, "For the royal family, it is necessary to prepare with both hands, and for Count Arryn, it is also a tormented wait. "I hope my father receives my letter and comes with troops as soon as possible.

"Who knows, only the Seven Gods are wise and just. Count Erryn's answer was still watertight, and he bowed and took his leave.

She had to give up. The Earl of Arryn was sophisticated and steady, and put himself out of the way.

Prior to this, she served as a witness, who swore by a bachelor's necklace and served as a witness. But she was still uneasy. The Minister of Justice, the Commander of the Army, and the Director of Intelligence will do everything they can to get Sebastian to die. She had wanted Count Arryn to be a witness, and the Count had a strong sense of honor, but he seemed wary, or perhaps the Count did not want to wade into the troubled waters.

After meeting Count Erryn, Ivana hurried to the church.

She stared at the massive statue of the Seven Gods. The goddess of wisdom held the holy book in her right hand and the scale in her left hand, looking at her majestically.

"The goddess of wisdom, her eyes are like torches. The archbishop's voice sounded from behind. This fat, old man, dressed in a red robe, with white hair and white beard, was "wise and just." ”

"I hope so. Ivana sighed, "There is so much injustice in the world. ”

"You're questioning the Seven Gods, Your Majesty. The archbishop looked at the scales in the hands of the goddess of wisdom and said, "The gods are always fair, and one end of the scale sinks, and the other end must rise." ”

"Fair? My Caesar is naturally weak, Brand is strong and powerful, and their fathers are the same. Ivana scoffed.

"Your Caesar lives, and they die. The archbishop retorted, "You are high up and feel the pain of losing a family, and a family in the slums is lowly and humble, but it is happy. The gods will not give you all that is good, nor will they give you all the bad. ”

"Is that your justice? I thought the church was about justice. Ivana scoffed, "People come to pray and seek justice and refuge. ”

"And forgiveness and love. The archbishop continued, "The guilty confess their sins, accept the punishment, and receive the forgiveness of the gods." ”

"What if this man is wronged?" said Ivana tentatively, "will the framed person receive a fair trial?"

"Of course, the Seven Gods are always just. "I know that the former regent will choose the church to judge." He can choose to be judged by martial arts, and I'm glad he is willing to believe in the Seven Gods. ”

Ludwig would let the Imperial Guard Knight act as an agent, and Sebastian didn't even have an agent by his side, so Ludwig woke up laughing in his dreams. Ivana smiled, she looked up at the glazed window, and said, "In the province of Orlando, Sebastian designed and built the Great Temple, he believes in the Seven Gods, and he also hopes that the Seven Gods will give him a just ruling. ”

"Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty of hinting at me?" the archbishop's lips showed a subtle smile.

"If Sebastian wants to kill the Grand Prince, why wait until now, you?", he finally picked it out and responded to my hint. Ivana put her doubts out.

"Makes sense. Please continue. The archbishop clasped his hands to his chest, and he seemed interested.

"If he is framed, there is no eldest prince, the second prince is underage, and the empire loses the regent and prime minister all at once......" Ivana deliberately half, "who can protect our people?"

"It's horrible. The archbishop gasped, "Maybe the military department can." ”

"What if the military rebels? Fort Thunder will bear the brunt. She went on to suggest that she had a flash of inspiration and took advantage of the judgment to pull Ludwig down.

"An army of 10,000 men is stationed near Thundercastle, and we all know how many garrisons there are in the capital. The archbishop shook his head, "Honestly, I like Sebastian, he has a high reputation among the poor. He took the scene of everyone's resistance to waterlogging, in his eyes. ”

"Yes, so you'll have to help me. Ivana pleaded, "I know that the Seven Gods are just, but you are the judge of the judgment." ”

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I hope you don't think it's a deal. The archbishop raised his hands and waved, "We need to be ready." If someone really wants a military mutiny, he doesn't care about the outcome of the trial at all. ”

Ivana was stunned, the archbishop was right. Once Sebastian was acquitted, Ludwig must have been angry and immediately mutinied.

"What about your advice?" Ivana struggled to calm her tone, hiding the panic in her heart.

"On behalf of the royal family, please agree to the restoration of the Church's arms. The archbishop gestured to the empty seats in the back row, "Our Knights Templar and Templar Order are enough to resist an army of 10,000 men until reinforcements from other provinces come soon. ”

"No, no. Ivana shook her head.

"I've already guessed who the people who might have mutinied. I guess you don't have control right now. The archbishop shook his head in disappointment, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Seven Gods will make a fair ruling. As for the latter result, I am afraid that it can only be borne by the royal family. ”

"You're threatening me?!" Ivana raised an eyebrow in annoyance.

"I'm reminding you. The archbishop sneered, "00,000 people, their lives are not child's play, there is no need to become martyrs for the fight between the royal family and the military department." If they don't have a leader, they're terrified. On the day of the mutiny, some people killed the guards and opened the gates. ”

Ivana was silent. Her mind struggled, and finally she realized that she had no choice. Sebastian also had 000 people in the capital garrison and 00,000 people. But if Sebastian is lost, who else can lead the capital garrison and 00,000 people at the same time?

She chose to gamble. The news from the flying pigeon is that his father's army may arrive quickly, and then find a reason to bring down the newly formed Knights Templar and Templar Order.

"Yes, Archbishop. I, Ivana Rudolph, the guardian of Caesar Rudolph I of the Rhodes Empire, hereby swears, in the name of the royal family, that the Church should be re-armed against potential threats. She bowed her head, pretended to be serious, and raised her right hand.

The archbishop nodded with satisfaction: "This is not a deal, Your Majesty, this is a win-win situation. ”

When he saw her, his right eye was wide open, but his left eye could not be opened, his left eye was swollen, and there was a bruise at the corner of his eye. He squirmed his lips, and she noticed that half of his front teeth were broken. The long, flaxen-colored hair, which was originally beautiful, was messed around his head like a dry straw nest.

Ivana's heart was torn and dripping with blood.

"Her Majesty ......" he spat out the word with difficulty, curled up in a haystack, his hands and feet shackled.

She crouched down and gently stroked his shoulder, his right arm twisted at the elbow joint. His forehead burned slightly.

"I listened to it all. On the night of Midsummer, you entered the room of the Great Prince alone, and you slit the throat of the Great Prince with a dagger, and blood splattered your face. As you fled, Captain Andres and Guard Knight Neumann walked in. You try to force your way away and are subdued by them. Ivana said slowly, her heart dripping blood, she trembled with shock, she was scared and her back was cold. How many other Imperial Guards were there who were Ludwig's?

Sebastian shook his head, his lips swollen and he slurred words: "Don't tie me ......"

Of course not you. Ivana took Sebastian's hand, his right hand was stiff and unconscious because of the fracture, and his left hand was cold and weak.

"It's not you, I know it's not you. Ivana hugged Sebastian tightly, hot tears falling down his face. He didn't avoid her hugs and hand-holders like he used to, his expression was blank and his eyes were dull.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged. Ivana said softly.

Sebastian was silent for a long time. He shook his head one moment, and smirked the next. (To be continued.) )
