There was silence in the temple.

No one dared to speak.

Even the sound of breathing was deliberately muffled.

The air was as heavy as ice.

The king looked at Layla with interest, as if disapproving of her words.

"Is that all?" The corners of her mouth smiled.

That's it...... Nothing more?

Layla was slightly stunned, what she had just complained about was really appalling, but the king was so calm.

Olivia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Layla faintly.

"If you're done, please take a seat, or leave."

Olivia said in a deep voice.

Layla looked at the king in disbelief and asked, "Don't you have anything to explain?" ”

The end of her greatsword smacked lightly against the ground.

"Oh, explain." Olivia raised her head and swept lightly over the crowd.

Most people's eyes are full of anticipation.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who watch good shows.

"Of course it has to be explained."

Olivia held the scepter in both hands and leaned forward slightly, looking at Layla.

"So, Duke Layla, I'll ask you a question."

Layla was undaunted, meeting the king's gaze like a victor.

"You, do you have any proof?"

At the end, the Grand Duke was slightly stunned.

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief from the terrible atmosphere that Layla had created before.

Yes, even though Layla had just offered a different perspective on the events of sixteen years ago, giving people a sense of being in the head, everyone was so immersed in that terrible speculation that they forgot—

Archduke Layla never provided a single actual evidence.

They set their sights on Archduke Layla, and many of them even hoped that she would come up with evidence to prove what they had just said.

"Haha, evidence?!"

Layla laughed, and she took a step back, looking at Olivia with a mocking expression.

"I knew you were going to ask, and that's what kept me from speaking for sixteen years." She tilted her head to the sky and took a deep breath, "Yes, I have no proof. ”

Hearing her words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, there are also many people who have a flash of regret in their eyes.

"It was that I had no proof, so for sixteen years I lived in agony day and night.

Back then, you weren't there.

None of you witnessed the killing of the first king.

But I'm in.

As a member of the King's Guard, I collapsed in a pool of blood, and I still bear the scar of the Assassin stab wound at that time.

Face, neck, chest and abdomen......

They all remind me that I must pursue it and find the truth of the past.

So a person who has devoted his life to tracking down is considered insane by you.

During the reign of the new king, while the whole country was at peace, this Grand Duke of the Dead Sword clung to the events of the year and refused to let the truth be buried in the light.

They thought that His Excellency was really foolish.

But—

That was the only thing that kept me alive until now.

The last glimmer in my heart. “

Layla shook her head lightly and let out a sigh.

"Unfortunately, I have no proof, so I can only bury my speculation in silence alone, and live like a beast lurking in the darkness for sixteen years.

If I had evidence, I would not have stood here and made such a pale accusation in words, but if I had evidence, I would have raised my sword and led my people to call on the people of the kingdom to cut off your heads......

However, I have no proof.

Most of them died, and few of the guards in the castles of the entire kingdom survived the bloody night sixteen years ago.

And those who are alive are either insignificant or die unexpectedly.

Like I said before, who can track down the king and the oracle? “

yes, who can track down those who wield power?

Track yourself down, is there such a thing?

Robin bowed his head and said nothing.

However, he was full of curiosity about what happened sixteen years ago.

It was very likely to have to do with why he was here, and at the same time the truth of that terrible dream in the dream.

In Raven's vision

"No, anyone can." Olivia said categorically.

She stood up from her seat, and although she was not tall, she gave people infinite oppression.

On her face, at this moment, there was an incomparable majesty.

It was as if the light of the entire hall had converged on her.

"The power in my hands does not come from my status as king, not from God, not from anywhere, but from my people.

The Kingdom of Itnell exists precisely because of the people of Itnell.

A king cannot be a nation.

So, anyone, you. “

The king's gaze was on Layla.

Then he turned his head and looked at an official from the local god society, "You." ”

Her gaze fell to the guard at the door, "And you." ”

Every time she mentioned it, everyone was slightly stunned.

I don't know why, in the king's simple "you", there seems to be a fire planted and burning in the bottom of my heart.

"Any one of you.

Anyone. “

The king repeated in a low voice.

"They can point me to the faults, and at the same time track down the crimes committed by their kings."

Olivia looked back at Layla with blazing eyes.

"Of course, the premise of all this is that if we really commit a sin, if what you say is true."

When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads and remained silent.

They were thinking about the king's words.

"If you really want an explanation, then I have one, just see if you want to believe it." "Sixteen years ago, my mother died of an illness and I had to go back.

Then her bones are not cold, and before she is buried, I have to go to Haoyue City to avenge the first king and fight hard for the safety of Haoyue City. “

"If you think the price of a pair of legs is nothing...... Calista took the king's words and said in a deep voice, "and what about the lives of the temple guards, I have lost the silver arm of the sun Leda and the little man Moia...... I have lost almost the entire temple of the armed forces on which it depends, as well as many lives.

And also...... My trusting chief priest, Edwina.

I asked her to protect King Severa and her children, but what happened next was far from what we could have predicted. “

Calista's eyes lifted slightly, and there was a pang of gloom.

"If it weren't for Rosalind, if it weren't for Raven and Flora, this place would have been destroyed long ago, and the Tree of Life would have been destroyed by Sirius, how could there be a future for the kingdom?"

She stared into Layla's eyes, "Those bloody facts, I really manipulated them?" Can I really control the blasphemers, can they really cooperate with their sworn enemies to perform such a tragedy? ”

Layla took a step back as if struck by lightning.

She was pale, not knowing what to do with Olivia's words.

It was as if the situation had been reversed in an instant.

And she had known this for a long time.

"Haha......"

Duke Deathsword laughed, his eyes with heavy circles seemed to brighten a little.

"One day, I will find out your sins," she said, holding her head high and glaring the king's gaze, "as long as I live." No, even if I die, someone will pursue it on my behalf.

The truth will come one day. ”

She gritted her teeth like a beast roaring in a low voice.

"On that day, the flames of anger will be ignited by the people you have just spoken, and then the hypocrisy on your faces will be burned!"

"If what you're saying is true, then I'm not going to run away from that day." Olivia replied in a deep voice.

Layla took a step back and looked at the group with a sneering expression.

Then she flicked the wolfskin cloak off her back, turned around, and walked out of the temple without looking back.
