Chapter 216: Framed with Conclusive Evidence

The ministers behind Boothman Rolland also whispered to each other, and everyone was speculating about the purpose of the Holy See's presence in Higg. Could it be that he deliberately came to make trouble in a fit of anger when he saw the unprecedented unity of the See? But even if Raphael used such shoddy means to stir up the situation and completely disregarded his personal image, did he not even care about the reputation of the Holy See?

Raphael's reaction fell into Raphael's eyes, and he guessed that Higg must be laughing at him in his heart, but instead of the slightest anger, he was laughing in his heart, because he knew that soon Higg would not be able to laugh, but should cry.

"Your Majesty, I have come specifically to deliver a royal decree from His Holiness the Pope. ”

Raphael waved his hand, and the guard beside him stepped forward with a long, beautifully decorated wooden box.

"Take the edict first, and read it when I get back to the palace. ”

Hearing that it was the Pope's edict, Busman Rolland frowned, as an emperor, he had to receive an order from another emperor, which made him very unhappy no matter how he pondered it, but he didn't have the courage to reject the edict, so he could only use this way to play his temper and vent it.

"I think Your Majesty had better open it now, or you'll regret it. ”

The corners of Raphael's mouth twitched, revealing a sneer.

"Give me the edict. ”

Busman Rolland couldn't understand what Raphael was going to do, but he hesitated, looked at the courtiers on the left and right, and still made up his mind, beckoned to the guard, who handed him the wooden box he had obtained.

Boothman Rolland opened the wooden box, took out a parchment roll from it, tore off the fire paint on it with the Holy See logo on it, spread it out on the small table in front of him, and looked at it slowly, but he only looked at it a few times, and his face changed.

"Impossible!"

Busman Rolland angrily slammed the parchment roll on the table in front of him. When a group of courtiers saw his angry appearance, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in their hearts.

"Your Majesty had better be cautious before you know the truth!"

Emperor Higg's anger did not frighten Raphael, and he spoke in a good manner.

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?"

The Minister of War, Blatter, was the highest-ranking courtier among the courtiers who came to attend the funeral today, and he was also the most trusted minister at present, so he stepped forward a few steps on behalf of everyone and asked in a low voice by the carriage of Busman Roland.

"Explain it yourself. ”

Boothman Rolland glanced up at Blatter, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, and then tossed the parchment roll to Blatter for him to see.

Blatter, who didn't know why, took the sheepskin in his hand and immediately opened it to look at it, but his performance was worse than that of Busman Roland, and after only a few glances, his face turned pale.

The edict is very long, and it is only after the customary chanting of the merits of the god of light that it officially enters the main theme. On behalf of the Holy See, Emperor Schebburn accused a gang of criminals led by the Marquis Blatter, Minister of Military Affairs of the Higg Empire, and supplemented by General Gerant and Viscount Benn and others, of committing a conspiracy to destabilize the Higg Empire, destroy the friendship between the Holy See and the Higg Empire, blasphemy, Massacre of the Holy See guards and other crimes, requiring the Higg Empire to immediately arrest and severely punish all criminals, and also give Higg his own innocence, give an explanation to the Holy See, and prove his loyalty and piety to the God of Light, and the following content is a statement of the details of many crimes committed by Marquis Blatter and other military bigwigs behind the scenes, and Gerantt and Viscount Benn as the executors, including destroying the statues of the Gods of Light, impersonating horse bandits, and massacring the Holy See guards.

After reading the entire edict, Blatter's eyes darkened for a while, "Boom, boom", he took a few steps back, fortunately someone behind him held him up, otherwise he would probably sit on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this is a blatant false accusation, and it is only a one-sided statement of the Holy See, and it is not to be believed. ”

Blatter broke free from his man and rushed to Boothman Roland's carriage again, and said with an angry expression. Hearing his words, the faces of the ministers behind him also changed greatly, as long as they were not fools, they had already guessed the contents of the parchment scroll, and they were afraid that they were only accusing Blatter.

"One-sided?"

Raphael, who was not far away, heard this and showed a disdainful expression.

"Raphael, Blatter is right. You accuse my courtiers of colluding with horse bandits, destroying the statues of the gods of light, and many other felonies, and a royal decree from His Holiness the Pope is not enough, it must be proven, and it cannot be evidence only from your Holy See. ”

Reminded by Blatter, Boothman Rolland finally recovered from his shock and anger.

"Why, yes, here, present the evidence to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Raphael sneered and ordered the guards to hand over the other two sealed parchment rolls. Boothman Rolland took it and opened it, and the two parchment scrolls were two testimonies, one of which was Vicente, the lord of Lua City, and the other was Campu, the general stationed in Lua City. There is no doubt that both men were appointed officials by the Higg Empire, although their attitude had always been biased towards the Holy See.

"Your Majesty, these two witnesses are both courtiers of the Hig Empire, their testimony can be trusted, right?"

Raphael's voice was eerie, with a chilling murderous aura.

"This..."

Boothman Rolland looked at the fake signature under the testimony and the seal representing the authorization of the Higg Empire, and his face was ugly and ugly.

"Your Majesty, Vicente and Kemp's words cannot be believed, the two of them have always obeyed the Holy See's words, and now they are working with the Holy See to frame the old ministers, just to eradicate the courtiers who are loyal to Your Majesty from Your Majesty's side, cut off Your Majesty's right-hand man and replace them, completely empty Your Majesty's power, and let the Hig Empire completely become a slave of the Holy See. ”

Blatter took the two testimonies from Boothman Rolland's hands, looked at them with a single glance, and threw them away as if he were holding two slippery vipers in his hands.

"Don't worry, I understand. ”

Boothman Rolland was not stupid, as an emperor who grew up in the center of power, he certainly understood the truth of Blatter's words, so he reached out and patted Blatter's shoulder and comforted him.

"It seems that you are not giving up yet. ”

Before Boothman Rolland could refute him, Raphael continued:

"Come, bring Ben En the criminal. ”

Under everyone's gaze, Viscount Benn, who was disheveled and tied up with flowers, was pushed from behind by the guards of the two churches. The Higg ministers were in an uproar again, they didn't expect that the Holy See had already arrested Viscount Benn, who was a Hig nobleman, without the permission of the Hig Empire.

"You are..."

As soon as they met, Blatter barely recognized his son-in-law, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the hair of Viscount Benn, who was in his thirties, was half white, as if he was dozens of years old.

"Benn..."

Blatter's voice trembled a little. Although Benn is not a high knighthood and has no power, he is knowledgeable and has a good personality, and he is very affectionate with his daughter, and he is also very loved by himself. So seeing Ben's appearance at this moment, the old marquis knew that he must have suffered a lot, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
