At the time of the jousting competition, the powerful magic used by Pope Damasus surprised the people of the entire island of Hope.

Although King Richard verbally agreed to Pope Dammasus's request that he no longer use his brains against Duke Borot, he saw that the erudite spell was so powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a shelf in his heart.

His right-hand men betrayed him one by one, and the strength of the kingdom did not rise but fell.

Richard thought twice and decided to go to the prison to find out the tone of the staff officer Foss and the head of the Knights, Maria, in the name of interrogation, to see if there was any possibility that these two fellows could be used for himself.

He demanded that his sergeants and prison guards keep the secret strictly, that no information should be disseminated, and that the two important prisoners could only be arraigned by him personally.

Foss hasn't said a word since the tournament, his whole body has become extremely 'gloomy', his eyes are very swollen, and you can imagine how much psychological pressure he has endured.

Maria, on the other hand, hadn't changed much, and if it weren't for the prison uniform, it would almost give the illusion that things were business as usual.

Li looked at the two former subordinate generals, and his face was full of helpless expressions of hatred: "You must have thought carefully about it several times in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, I just want to die quickly." Foss unexpectedly grabbed Maria's front and said.

"Strategist, the one I don't understand the most is you.I bought the property in Aston City for you with my own hands.When your old mother died.I also gave you enough pomp and circumstance.Your wife is sick.I didn't miss it either.All the doctors and medical staff were sent to you from the palace.Tell me.I can't help you.When the civil and military officials mention your name of Foss.Then they will immediately think of me Richard.Isn't this honor enough.What good can betraying the Hope Kingdom bring you?Is it because the Emperor of the Tamborance Empire, Del.O.T.,After my father's death? You are the most diligent and conscientious person in my eyes, why did you do such a sad and disappointing thing?" Richard almost pounded his chest, and his tone was full of confusion and anger, plus a little sadness.

Although Foss's eyes were filled with tears, he had been trying to restrain himself from letting the floodgates of his feelings open easily: "Your Majesty, how is the Hope Kingdom and Bodie Continent compared?"

"What are you talking about?" It's a bit of a baffling question, so Richard can't 'figure it out'.

"I was bent on helping Your Majesty dominate the world, but what you have done has given me no hope.

"If these things can make you betray me, then all I can say is that you are really unworthy to be my advisor, not worthy to plan for the future of Hope." Richard was disappointed, and he felt that he was looking up to Fox.

At the right time, the head of the regiment Maria carefully interjected, "Your Majesty is wrong to blame Lord Foss, I can say that, if Foss's wife had not been sick and had not disappeared, then he would never have been with me."

"What do you mean, his wife hasn't been sick for a day or two, not to mention how family and state affairs can be involved." The more Richard listened, the more confused he became.

The former chief staff officer was now silently crouched in the corner, and he behaved like a poor beggar on the street, and Maria had to explain on his behalf: "Your Majesty has ever heard of the reputation of the Crimson Rose?"

"Of course, they once tried to assassinate the emperor in the arena of the imperial capital of Xiza City. This is a well-known killer organization. There was a calmness in Richard's expression that was difficult for others to detect, but Captain Maria noticed it.

"I think it's very likely. Foss's wife suddenly and mysteriously disappeared some time ago, he inquired about his whereabouts in many ways, and even took the initiative to find me, and wanted to use the power of the Knights to help in the search. I had almost no 'intersection' with him in the past, and I didn't say a word.

"Why don't you look for me, Crimson Rose is involved with the Emperor, you have to let me know what." Richard looked at the lonely back of Foss in the corner, and his heart softened a little.

"I had wanted to inform you, but Master Foss insisted that I keep the news down for the time being, and he feared that Crimson Rose would take more harsh measures against his wife because of your majesty's aggression."

"Why are you so sure it must have something to do with the Crimson Rose?"

"Because those guys left a clue, a real five-petal 'flower' mark."

"The killers don't kill a poor person for no reason, they don't just go to a random person to kidnap them, they can't afford to make a profit, Foss's wife is seriously ill, and she has almost no value to use, why would they go to such a bother?" Richard immediately raised his doubts.

"This is also what we all find strange and incomprehensible.To put it a little bit of a way to exalt them.Crimson Rose has always either not made a move.When it does, it is all an earth-shattering spend.The death of the previous emperor is also inseparable from them.Even the 'spirit' and 'woman' king in the Danse Forest are rumored to have been assassinated by these guys.Since they have appeared on Hope Island.Then the target should only be aimed at Your Majesty alone.Why retreat to the next thing.Find such an irrelevant and useless person." What about women."

Richard paced back and forth for a long time, and he finally stopped behind Fox and said, "Strategist, you must have something to hide, of course I will do my best to rescue your wife, but you must tell us the truth without reservation, so that we can gain a glimmer of hope."

"No one can believe it." Foss held his head in both hands, as if trying to dodge a blow that might happen at any moment.

"If you say that I will judge the merits, and if you die in vain because you have been wronged or 'deceived', then not only will you lose your right hand, but your wife will also be affected, and what will you do without her in the future?"

Tears welled up in the Chief Staff's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly and pounded on the solid but dirty ground in the dungeon: "It's His Holiness Damasus, it's the old man who slowly lured me into doing this."

"Pontifical Damasus." Richard couldn't help but take a step back, and gasped deeply into his chest. He's going to let you kill me, and he's going to rebel against Hope."

"He never said that." Foss kept smearing his face with his dusty hands, as if to wash away an indescribable nightmare.

Both Richard and Maria felt that this person had become a little unreasonable, and that he was contradicting himself in the first and second words.

"He never said that, but he didn't say or do it, but it was more terrible than saying and doing." Foss's voice became a little hoarse. He was looking at me in the dark, and his two terrible eyes could 'penetrate' into all my thoughts.I had no hidden 'selfishness' at all.I had no freedom at all.He saw me through.I could feel his presence in my dreams.After a few days and nights.,A very clear thought suddenly popped into my mind for some reason.That is, to find a way to change the status quo of the Hope Kingdom by killing Your Majesty.Yes.It's going to kill you.That's right.It's not wrong at all.Hahahahaha."

The guards outside tried to rush in to silence the presumptuous madman, but Richard motioned for them not to act rashly for the time being, and the king asked seductively, "Why do you want to change the status quo of Hope, and why do you have to kill me?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything, that voice is too powerful, that look is too sharp, I am enveloped by them all the time, I am immersed in these teachings all the time, ah......" Fox suddenly shouted, and put his hand around his neck.

Richard hurried to the rescue, but fortunately, the literati's strength was not good after all, and in the end it was not a big deal.

Seeing that she might have a chance to make a meritorious service, Maria took the initiative to propose: "Your Majesty, if this matter is really related to Bojiao, then we must quickly cut the 'chaos' hemp, strike first, Bojiao's magic is extremely powerful, and only if they still think they are safe and unprepared, they will have a chance of victory, otherwise, it will definitely cause the creatures of Hope Island to suffer terrible misery."

Richard stared at the Grand Master's eyes for a long time, and then said slowly: "In that case, then I will allow you to make meritorious contributions, Crimson Rose, and Bojiao, both of which must be investigated, and all clues must be reported to me as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, you must find an excuse to trap them all together, especially that Valentine." Maria took advantage of this momentum.

Richard smiled slightly, and didn't answer explicitly.

'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
