Chapter 397: Blue Blood

On December 13, the year 328 of the continental calendar, the court of Yousi officially announced to the outside world:

Prince Lawrence, with the assistance of Fama Ux, the head of the Academy of Magic, and the director of the Royal Knight Academy, Wilford Lead, staged a palace coup, and Prince Lawrence lured Emperor Vettels to the Royal Knight Academy. One of the masterminds of the coup, Fama Ax, used the Earth Guardian Magic Array to trap Emperor Vettels in the academy, and the other mastermind of the coup, Wilford Lead, deployed superior forces in advance to surround His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage, forcing the Emperor to immediately abdicate to the crown prince.

In the face of the butcher's knife of the coup d'état, His Majesty Vettels showed no fear, and angrily denounced the prince's rebellion in public. Annoyed and enraged, the prince immediately ordered his death, and His Majesty Vettels refused to give in and fought back under the protection of the chief of the guard, Alander. The battle lasted from noon to dusk, and the coup d'état was full of corpses and blood, but the helpless outnumbered guard, Alaand, the exhausted head of the guard, was killed, and Emperor Vettels was so humiliated that he drew his sword and committed suicide.

The second prince who learned the news of the rebellion presided over the counterinsurgency with the full support of Huo Yining, the deputy head of the guard regiment, and Andre, the captain of the guards, and the second prince personally led the army to surround the Royal Knight Academy and encircle and suppress the putschists, after a night of fierce fighting, the rebels finally broke through the magic shield of the Earth Guardian, and most of the putschists hiding in it were either captured or killed, only the coup leader Crown Prince escaped under the protection of Fama Ax, and the other mastermind, Wilford Lead, was captured alive.

The court immediately issued a wanted warrant for Lawrence and Famakes, the leaders of the coup, and those who caught them would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan whether they were dead or alive. Those who provide information will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan once it is confirmed.

In order to maintain the stability of the political situation in Yus, as soon as the coup d'état was pacified, the second prince impatiently asked the former prime minister of the empire, Duke Phelps, who had been idle at home, to re-enter the court to preside over the government, and the officials who had gone down with the prime minister at that time were also reinstated.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked!

And the most fierce reaction came from within the court of Yous. On the third day of the coup, Yusi convened a court meeting, and the second prince ascended the throne of God to preside over the meeting. An important topic of the meeting was the public trial of the coup masterminds.

As one of the masterminds of the coup, the former head of the Knight Academy, Wilford Lead, was escorted to the court by guards and asked to identify his coup coup on the spot.

"Earl Lead, I know that you have been deceived by the crown prince to do such a rebellious thing, and now I will give you a chance to atone for your sins and make meritorious contributions, as long as you are willing to identify your traitorous accomplices in court, I can not only spare you for your capital crimes, but also reinstate you as an official. ”

The prime minister, who was originally sitting next to the second prince, stood up and walked down the steps, came to Count Lead, who was tied up with five flowers, untied the rope for him with his own hands, and then said seductively.

"Of course, Your Excellency, many of you are complicit in this rebellion, and even mastermind. ”

Willford Leader had a somewhat numb arm, his robe was tattered and his hair was disheveled, but his eyes were still shining, like a hawk dog chasing its prey.

"This coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and sells his master for glory!"

The officials understood that whoever Weifu Leader had identified was an accomplice to the coup d'état, with the slightest dismissal from office or the death penalty and seizure of his home, so they all avoided Lead's cannibalistic gaze one by one, and secretly cursed in their hearts.

"Then ask the Earl to point out the mastermind in public. ”

Just when all the courtiers were trembling and worried that Willford Leader would frame him, the second prince slapped the table and stood up.

"Okay, I'll point him out now, so that His Highness and your lordships can give Your Majesty justice. The mastermind of this coup d'état is..."

Wilford Lead's gaze swept over the faces of the officials attending the court meeting one by one, and finally fixed on the second prince who was at the top. For some reason, under his staring gaze, the second prince felt a burst of weakness.

"The mastermind who staged the coup d'état and killed his father and seized power is the second prince - Blake!"

Wilford Lead's halberd pointed at the second prince, and roared angrily, and the second prince stumbled in his roar, barely falling off the throne.

"Willford Lead, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The suicide of Willford Leader caught the planner Duke Phelps off guard, and he had already negotiated with Willford Lead, and the other party promised to cooperate with them to eliminate dissidents in order to save his life, but he did not expect that Willford Leader was iron-clad and regarded death as home, and he was ready to put his life on the line.

"Haha..."

Willford Leader laughed and pointed:

"Blake, Phelps, Hoinen, Andre, Freeman, you guys are the real masterminds of the coup. In order to seize the throne, you lured the wolf into the house, invited the experts of the Holy See to kill Your Majesty, you deserve death!"

Willford Leader made an impassioned statement denouncing the masterminds of the coup d'état led by the second prince.

"Wilford Lead, I give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but you not only do not cherish it, but you frame loyal ministers, and you should be the one who deserves death. Someone comes, take the traitor Weifu Lidra down, and correct the Fa on the spot. ”

The self-defeating Prime Minister Phelps was furious, and as soon as he gave the order, a group of guards came up to arrest Willford Lead.

"Who dares to arrest me!"

Willford Leader roared, and the righteous and awe-inspiring momentum actually made the guards take two steps back.

"Haha..."

Willford Lead's fierce gaze swept across the room, and none of the coup clique dared to make eye contact with him. Looking at the weak-hearted enemy, he laughed sadly:

"I, Wilford Lead, have wasted His Majesty's trust in me, and have been in charge of the Empire's intelligence work for many years, but I don't know that Your Majesty has a group of untrate, disloyal, and unfilial traitors lurking around you. It's really an unforgivable sin, and I can only thank him for my death today!"

After speaking, Willford Leader took two steps forward, and then slammed his head against the pillars of the main hall, staining the court with blue blood.
