Chapter Seventy-Nine: His Highness's Mother's Uncle

As an old subordinate of Duke Borot, General Iros is well aware of all kinds of rumors about the principality. He took the opportunity to guard the underground treasures of Grid City, and befriended Emperor Deliotot, and was promoted to a registered general of the Tamborance Empire. He stroked the beard on either side of his cheek as he scanned the banquet hall with a terrifying gaze.

Lao Bao was his key target, so this fierce and vicious look finally focused all there. The nobles who attended the banquet all waited with bated breath for something important to happen, and Duke Borot, as the person concerned, spoke very politely: "General Iros, what are you going to say to me? I see that you have been looking at me. ”

The Duke of Loyle smiled slyly on the side, and while in the city of Front, his lieutenant Peake had tried to poison Old Bao, but had been unsuccessful. This incident has always haunted him. It's a wonderful feeling to finally be able to watch your competitors fall.

Emperor Deliot motioned for everyone not to whisper, but to listen carefully to General Iros, and it was clear that what was about to be announced must be very heavy news.

Lecles, who was behind Duke Borot, clenched his fists at this time, he was ready, if the emperor dared to order the arrest of the old duke, then he would have to sacrifice his life to fight.

The bearded general cleared his throat, showed a smile that was very incongruous with the current atmosphere, he took two steps forward, looked around at the nobles attending the banquet again, and then stretched out his right hand, gestured at Lao Bao with his index finger and middle finger, and suddenly roared: "Lord Duke, your son His Royal Highness Albert is not your own flesh and blood!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, the Duchy of Borot, one of the dignified electors, would let a wild breeder who didn't know where it came from to be the heir, which was not only irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to the entire Tamborance Empire.

Duke Borot remained silent, he also replied with a smile: "General, you have been by my side for many years, and this rumor has been spread for more than ten years, and you have never believed it as my subordinate in the past, why did you suddenly ask about this today?"

"Lord Duke!" Iros said these four words very slowly and heavily, "the laws of the empire are very clear, if you want a non-biological child to be the future ruler of the principality, you must immediately cede power to him when he reaches adulthood, and when he dies, the duchy should be elected by the whole empire to elect a new leadership family. I think you know this rule very well, Duke!"

"Your Excellency, of course I know, but Albert's is indeed my son, my own flesh and blood, what are you going to do when you tell me this?"

"Lord Duke, since you are so adamant, then I have no choice but to show the evidence to everyone, so as not to let others think that I am a fool. General Iros said, clapping his hands for someone waiting outside the hall to enter.

Seeing that the man was covered in a gray robe, and his expression and demeanor were like that of a shopkeeper, Duke Borot felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who that person was.

Iros motioned to this key witness to reveal his identity to Old Bao, and as soon as the gray robe spoke, everyone was immediately surprised, and they only heard him say: "My lord, I am Tonya's uncle, that is, the uncle of your wife Charlotte. I opened a medicine shop in the city of Solo, and you forced me to marry my pregnant niece to your mansion, although you gave me some money, but it was not much. Later, the medicine shop did not do well, and my family moved to other places to make a living, and my niece and I have never heard from each other. I have written to your wife several times, but there has been no reply. I also asked someone to come to the house to ask for a meeting, but I was directly bombed away by your subordinates. The general was a good man, and he brought me here, and told me that I would be able to see my niece, and it seems that he did not break his promise, for if he saw you, he would be able to see my poor Tonya. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and the nobles who were originally worried about their heads falling to the ground now had the mentality of watching a good show, since there was a fish as big as Duke Borot on the hook, then there was no big problem for themselves.

General Iros licked his lip with his tongue and smashed it twice, satisfied with his foreshadowing.

Duke Borot calmly looked at the old brother-in-law who didn't know what to do, and secretly scolded him for his foolishness. Mrs. Charlotte was so well versed in righteousness and etiquette, how could her uncle be so stupid.

Seeing that Lao Bao didn't speak, Duke Loyle added fuel to the side and said: "My lord, you and I have known each other for decades, and you must not be careless in such a major matter! The Tamborance Empire has strict laws, and we dukes should set an example. If there is anything unspeakable, even if you say it, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor and all the nobles present will be considerate. But if you conceal it and don't report it, if it is verified, then your reputation in this life will be ruined!"

"Yes, yes!" Those who attended the banquet were like parrots, echoing Royle's meaning, and they knew that following Royle now was helping the Emperor and General Iros.

Duke Borot said with a wry smile: "This matter is actually not difficult, as long as you find my wife, you can find it clear." She was following the Duchy army to the city of Birti in the kingdom of Stinipe. ”

"Lord Duke, what is the intention of His Highness Albert, the son of your moth, to go out under the pretext of exterminating the treasonous Kentan, and even his own mother?" asked Iros immediately.

"All the nobles have come to attend His Majesty's feast with their families, but you are the Duke, who is light and alone. Is this something you're afraid of?" Royle also tore his face to help set the mood.

Emperor Deliot was actually the real mastermind behind all this, but he did not take the initiative to reveal Lao Bao's scars, but observed from the sidelines.

Queen Isabella was originally a little drunk, but now that she was slowly recovering, she was very uncomfortable when she saw the atmosphere of the banquet become like this. While it is admirable for a husband to devote himself to state affairs, it is sometimes easy to overdo it. Duke Borot was an important minister of the Empire, how could he so casually let a guy who came out of nowhere question these private matters?

While the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly the Royal Praetorian Guard came to report that there were people from the Holy See outside the city of Sysar who had asked to enter the city. Due to the attempted assassination in the arena, everyone now needs the Emperor's approval to enter and leave the Imperial Capital.

Del T.L. couldn't help but scold: "Phew! It's the middle of the night, and they think that they will send someone here, so it's better to come back after the meeting!" Angry and angry, the emperor still notified the guards guarding the city to let him go.

"Pope Damassus openly withdrew from the holy city of Ræma with King Richard of Hope, giving Marshal Cripple of the Deseths an opportunity. Although we have succeeded in taking the city thanks to His Majesty's ingenuity, the Pope's sins cannot be written off!" reminded the Duke of Loyle.

"Since I invited them over this time, don't mention the previous matter!" Deliot felt a little impatient when he saw that the old man's head was tendoned.

The pending case of Duke Borot was put aside for the time being. That Tonya's uncle behaved too roughly, although at the beginning of the heavy news that shocked everyone in the hall, but then his actions continued to subtract points for himself. Those jazz aristocrats already looked down on the ordinary people in their hearts, although this matter had nothing to do with them, but if they encouraged this kind of atmosphere of civil prosecutors, then one day they would have to take their turn to walk around without eating. Lao Bao just didn't let go, so that everyone gradually had a pimple in their hearts, how credible is what this vulgar guy said? What's more, he thought of General Iros's nature of being good at drilling camps, and suddenly became enlightened. If they hadn't realized that the emperor might be behind this, they would have started to ridicule the so-called uncle a long time ago.

The joyful celebration banquet that was still singing and dancing in the previous period has now turned into a difficult criticism meeting. At first, a few unlucky counts were the first to suffer, and just now the famous Northern Expedition hero Duke Borot was almost pulled off the horse, so that everyone was in danger, and how could they be in the mood to eat.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the polymath, for there was some sign of a falling out with the Emperor in the Holy See, and that man would be able to distribute all of Deliot's anger on his head as soon as he came.

Due to the imposition of curfew and martial law in the imperial capital of Sisa, the man galloped all the way without hindrance, and soon came to the palace. After a routine security check, he straightened his dusty clothes a little and strode towards the ballroom.

The monk was bald, with a slightly hunched back, and wore red vestments, as if he were a papal bishop.

As soon as Deliot saw him, he immediately greeted him from afar: "Your Holiness is all right? You have worked hard all the way, hurry up and serve wine!"

The hunchbacked old man, apparently not expecting such a warm reception he would encounter, replied in a somewhat hurried manner: "Your Majesty, I have been sent to your feast by order of His Holiness Damasus, but my trip has been delayed due to the vagaries of the weather at the Horror Sea. I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

"Where, the Holy See is very important to the Empire, so why not care about such a trivial matter!" Deliot said so smoothly that Duke Loyle couldn't help but be surprised. Bojiao is obviously an organization that the emperor has long wanted to get rid of, and now he can make this ritual so real, the emperor is really not simple!

"Your Majesty, Benedict the Wick, is the newly appointed Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See. Soon after the withdrawal of the Holy See, the Holy See had already repented of the matter of the city of Roma, and he asked me to compensate you, and if Your Majesty had any punishment, we would have willingly accepted it. ”

"Your Excellency, it is important to say that without the efforts of you and King Hope, we would not have been able to retake the city of Roma so quickly! ”

"Benedict, Benedict...... Benedict!" "The uncle of the herb shop, who was originally nagging and annoying, suddenly burst out, "Do you know Tonya?"

"Donya?" the cardinal archbishop hadn't adjusted his mind for a while, and the three words appeared so suddenly that he couldn't understand them at once.

"My lord, I have a niece who had an unfruitful impulsive affair with a monk named Benedict. Tonya was so stupid that she took all the consequences alone and ran to my herb shop with a big belly. Do you know that Benedict, what a coincidence of things in this world, you happen to be called Benedict! This Duke Borot keeps saying that Tonya's child is his own, and everyone doesn't believe me, can you give me a testimony? That so-called Royal Highness Albert is actually the child of my niece and this monk. ”

After Lao Bao and the cardinal archbishop heard this, they were both stunned, this guy who opened a medicinal herb shop really wanted to cause an uproar!
