"Fiona. ”

The Great Elder's eyes flashed with a hideous look.

"Have you really figured it out?"

Seeing that his threat didn't seem to make much of a difference, Raul knew that life and death alone might not bring Fiona to her knees.

So he accentuated his tone and involved Fiona's family as well.

"Don't lose your entire family because you carried this inexplicable black cauldron. ”

Fiona was indifferent, just looking at the Great Elder's eyes with a little more indifference.

Seeing the cold light in Fiona's eyes, Raul couldn't help but feel a slight tightness in his heart.

He knew very well how hard this stubborn girl was, and he also knew that it would be difficult for him to induce her to confess to the Grand Duke with such a simple threat as himself.

But he really didn't expect that for the sake of the Grand Duke, she would even care about the safety of the family.

After thinking for a moment, Raul's eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

He saw that it was hard to come, so it was better to come soft.

"Fiona. ”

Putting away the fierceness on his face, Raul's face was full of kindness.

He spoke softly, unusually soft.

"I know you have reasons why you shouldn't say it, and I know you're a loyal and honest child. ”

The speed with which Grand Elder Raul's face changed caught people off guard, and his earnest words in the next moment made Fiona feel even more disgusted.

"But have you ever thought that if you carry your sin like this, no one can help you. If you still care about your family's nurturing, it's best not to implicate them all. I assure you that if you tell me who instructed you to take the Fire Bat Mark, the House of Elders will not blame your family for the past, and you will be dealt with alone. ”

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Raul glanced at the Grand Duke.

"Believe me, there really isn't anyone who can help you in this matter, except the House of Elders. ”

Raul is right.

Although the Duchy of Vladkimir is ruled by the Grand Duke, the power to pardon life and death is actually in the hands of the Elders.

Because the House of Elders has the authority to speak directly to the Demon Emperor, the dukes of the general principality will be in awe.

Besides, the House of Elders is full of big names in the principality, and no matter what, the duke will give three points of face. Therefore, although the Grand Duke holds the power of the Duchy, many things still need to be questioned by the House of Elders.

Although well aware of the rights of the House of Elders, Fiona remained silent.

Because she knew who she was loyal to, and what to say and what not to say.

The Fire Bat Seal is one of the only three sacred relics in the Principality of Vladkimir, and its preciousness can be imagined.

The previous Grand Duke had an explanation for the three holy relics when he was dying, because the power of the holy relics would decrease with use, and finally become a piece of scrap iron, so only when the Principality was alive and dead, the Grand Duke, as the lord of the Principality, had the right to use it.

Although the father of the previous Grand Duke, that is, the Grand Duke of Vlad Kimir, did not say what would happen if he overstepped his authority, according to the attitude of Grand Elder Raul and the Elders' House, this matter will definitely not be settled.

Fiona had been in the Bloodcoat for many years and was well aware of the contradictions between Grand Elder Raul and Grand Duke.

It is said that after the death of the previous Grand Duke, Elder Raul also had a big fight with Grand Duke Vlad Kimir because of the inheritance of the duke's position.

She knew that if she said that it was the fire bat seal given to her by the Grand Duke, it would definitely attract the collective accountability of the Elders' House. This will not only make the Grand Duke's prestige lost, but may also implicate Lord Roy.

Lord Roy has a life-saving grace for her, and she was able to reach the sixth order of dark power, all thanks to Viscount Roy, a fourth-order doctor who is vain and does not seek fame and fortune.

She wasn't ungrateful, so she would never do anything to be sorry for Viscount Roy.

Moreover, Fiona is not a three-year-old child, she knows very well that the guarantee of the Great Elder does not mean anything, and even if she confesses to the Grand Duke, she can only let her last hope be annihilated.

Guilt is not for her family, and she trusts the Grand Duke to ensure the future of her people's lives. Even if the Great Elder and the others wanted to take revenge in the future, with the Grand Duke in hand, it might not be so easy for them to succeed.

What's more, this matter is already inseparable from himself, after all, the fire bat mark has been ......

"Great Elder. ”

Fiona finally spoke, without the slightest hesitation.

"It's not that I received orders from anyone, but that I was worried that I would not be able to protect Viscount Roy, so I secretly carried the fire bat seal with me as a precaution. ”

"You took it secretly?"

With a cold snort, Raul pursed his lips.

"You think it's an ordinary knife and a small sword, and you said you took it casually?"

Glancing coldly at the Grand Duke, Raul said a little proudly,

"The three holy relics are stored in the Grand Duke's storage ring, and he carries them with him, how did you steal them with such a small ability?"

Spreading his hand, Raul looked at the elders with a smirk.

"Mo said that it was a small blood-clothed guard, even if it was as strong as all the elders, he didn't dare to say that he could take away a stitch and a half from the hands of the Grand Duke. ”

Hearing Grand Elder Raul's words, all the elders nodded silently.

They all knew that Grand Elder Raul was right, and if Fiona wanted to steal the Fire Bat Mark from the Grand Duke, it would be a fantasy.

"If it's a robbery, it's definitely hard to get a hundred Fiona. ”

The whispers of the elders could be heard, but Fiona's face was unusually calm.

She opened her mouth slightly, and her pretty face was full of calmness.

"But as the Grand Duke's most trusted servant, it is very convenient to steal. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the elders who were whispering were stunned on the spot.

And when Naraul heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Steal?"

"Yes. ”

Fiona nodded.

"Steal. ”

She said naturally,

"The last time I went back to Hearthstone to see Lord Duke, Lord Philip was discussing important matters with Grand Commander Philip, so he ordered me to wait in the practice room, and while I was waiting in the secret room, I found that Lord Grand Duke's storage ring was placed on the table in the secret room. ”

Raising her head, Fiona looked at Grand Elder Raul.

"Due to the unknown attack on Viscount Roy last time, even I suffered a heavy blow. So when he saw the Grand Duke's storage ring, he wanted to secretly find a self-defense weapon, and he saw the fire bat mark. I originally wanted to report to the Grand Duke, but when I looked back, I thought that the Duke would not agree, so I hid it privately, hoping to wait for Viscount Roy to find a new guardian before returning the Fire Bat Seal to the Duke. ”

This statement was reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable, leaving Grand Elder Raul speechless for a while.

And when the elders heard that Fiona had found such a reason, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they could only choose to believe it.

After all, they are facing the masters of the principality of Vlad Kimir, so questioning alone is absolutely not enough.

Since Fiona chose to bear the black cauldron, then all the sins will be borne by her, and the-for-tat between the Great Elder and the Grand Duke, these elders are not willing to get involved out of thin air.

Looking at the expressions of the elders, Grand Elder Raul knew that today's events had been decided.

Since this Fiona has carried the black cauldron, she can't make a big deal even if she can't do anything.

Grand Elder Raul was a smart man, and since he had seen the results, he would naturally not chase after him anymore. But for the Fiona in front of him, who ruined his plan, he wouldn't swallow it easily.

"Good!"

Gritting his teeth viciously, Raul's face turned pale.

He stared at Fiona, his eyes bursting with fire.

"Since you have confessed your sins, do as you plead. ”

The Great Elder flicked his sleeves, then straightened up.

"Fiona's theft of holy relics is an unforgivable sin. ”

"The Bloody Guards obey orders!"

Hearing the blood-clothed guards guarding outside the hall all respond, Raul continued,

"Put Fiona on death row and be guillotined in three days!"

As soon as these words came out, the blood-clothed guards in the entire hall rarely did not react.

Because they all know who should be obeyed by such a command about life and death.

The Great Elder was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted.

He looked at the Grand Duke with a playful sparkle in his eyes.

"What, does the Duke want to cheat for personal gain?"

As soon as the Great Elder said this, all the elders looked at the Grand Duke.

And the Grand Duke also knew in his heart that if he forgave Fiona like this, he was afraid that he would be covered up, and the laws of the Duchy would also face unprecedented challenges.

"Fiona is guilty of stealing holy relics. ”

After a moment of silence, the Grand Duke spoke slightly.

"However, remembering that she has made many military exploits in the Bloody Guards for many years, and stealing the holy relics is also to complete the mission, so she can avoid death. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the elders nodded secretly.

They all felt that what the Grand Duke said was very reasonable, and it was a pity that such a beautiful and talented girl died.

Grand Elder Raul had expected this outcome for a long time, but he did not say anything to refute it. This time the Grand Duke was not brought down, and he didn't bother to pay attention to other minor details.

But this Fiona is really hateful, it's not good to clean her up, won't anyone dare to do it against herself in the future?

Thinking of this, Grand Elder Raul sneered.

"Since the Grand Duke has spoken, then the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. ”

Looking at the Grand Duke, Raul said in a loud voice,

"It's not too much to keep her in a prison for twenty years. ”

Hearing this, the Grand Duke's face changed.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, Fiona suddenly spoke.

"Lord Duke, Grand Elder. ”

Hearing Fiona interrupt herself, the Grand Duke was slightly stunned.

But Fiona's next words plunged the entire Elders' House into a dead silence.

"Fiona has committed a heinous crime. ”

"Ask for a death. ”
