Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 299 Integrity Questioning
As soon as the Academy Ghost's words fell, Wen Lisi shouted angrily, "You bewitching fellow! Watch me tear off your mask!" Princess Celestia rushed towards the Academy Ghost, and even the chair she was sitting on just now was overturned, but Evan blocked the front of the Academy Ghost for the first time, and the real identity was the Academy Ghost of Cyrannos who was unmoved, but just turned her face towards Bradley, waiting for Bradley's reply.
"This is the capital of the Kingdom of Salins, I have already said it beforehand, even if you are the eldest princess of the kingdom, you can't be presumptuous!"
"Is it okay to spread rumors in public! This masked man slandered Bradley as a dishonest person!"
Everyone was suspicious that they had seen Demps loaded into a prison van and escorted back to Mallot, where he was now being imprisoned awaiting trial, but no one had seen Bradley capture Demps in any way, or see him execute the traitors.
"Brother Wang, the accusations of the ghost of the academy are unfounded, right?" Walter kept paying attention to Bradley's expression, although Bradley was injured, but the eldest prince, who had been silent most of the time, seemed too quiet, he was an important person in this meeting.
The Academy Ghost continued to say in a playful tone: "The remnants of the Snake Spear Knights who fled with Demps into the deep mountains and old forests are not dead, they are placed somewhere in the southern mountains, and the Grand Prince should also have a private agreement with Demps to ensure that he will not die... As for the reason for this, I don't know as a bystander, and you can try to find out the truth. ”
"Still babbling!" Wen Lisi was the only one in the whole meeting who showed anger, obviously the target of the accusation was Bradley, but the person did not refute it, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Master Demps needs a fair verdict, as the Academy Ghost said, Demps was indeed not captured by me, but surrendered voluntarily," Brad admitted the Academy Ghost's accusation in a flat tone, "Those three hundred and twenty-nine followers of Demps are all under the watchful eye of my men, and they are still somewhere in the southern mountains. But the main reason why I did this was to avoid wrongful convictions. ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Bradley to really deceive the entire kingdom of Salins, even his own father. No one but Avi cared about the last sentence of Bradley's words, not even the ghost of the House who had asked Bradley to rehabilitate them by claiming that the Snake Gun Knights were wronged, as if he only wanted to expose Bradley's lies here and make Bradley's credibility ruined.
"It took a very short time to get Demps back to the capital... Now it seems that maybe Demps and the Great Prince have known each other since the beginning. ”
Bradley did not deny the hints of Gronos, nor did he admit it, but the discerning person knew at a glance that Bradley was in a state of loss, and his integrity had been questioned by everyone. Fenrir, who was standing with Avi, had already gritted his teeth, of course Bradley's henchman knew the truth of the matter, but there was no place for him to justify it, and even Winlith looked at her twin brother with a look of disbelief, obviously she didn't know Bradley's lie.
"Hmph! It's a matter of character, if you can't show integrity in front of the people, then you must not be the one who leads the kingdom forward!" Freemon seized the opportunity of Bradley's non-defense and smacked the other party's pain hard, "King Byron was by Demps, if there really was any deal between Demps and the Grand Prince... If you think about it, one of them..."
Bradley stood up, and he shook his head at Winlith, "I admit that I do have something to hide in this matter, and if we must continue to discuss this matter today, then I am willing to accompany it, but I have never done anything to harm the interests of the kingdom, even if my father throws another test to me, I will do my best to complete it." ”
Avi held the new white lion sword tightly, Bradley originally had the credit for repelling Amsol and the identity of the eldest son, and should naturally take over the power of managing the kingdom now, but he didn't expect that these people not only proposed the "five-party council" that divided Bradley's due power, but also used the Demps incident against Bradley. It is true that the eldest prince has hidden some things, but this must be considered by the eldest prince, and he has also met Captain Demps in prison, and the other party is definitely not a bad person, but more like an upright and responsible leader. Avi's heart began to grow tired of the likes of Gronos and Feremont, as well as the others of Jaco, who had a close relationship with the ghosts of the Academy. In front of the knights who Bradley himself canonized, they all became vicious enemies.
"No, it's a crucial question," Gronos shook his head as well, "If there is a problem with integrity, for example, if Heck claims that Prince Amsoil did not die of illness, but was taken away by the eldest prince without permission, or has an inexplicable relationship with the Knights of the Snake Spear, whom King Byron regarded as a traitor, then the seat of the 'Council of the Five' cannot be so easily given to someone whose integrity is questioned..."
"Are you that clean yourselves?!" Wen Lisi asked rhetorically.
"If the Grand Duke is mainly accusing us, then please also show evidence. But the concern now is clearly Prince Bradley's..."
Bradley stood up, he grabbed Winlith's arm, "I am willing to take responsibility for this matter, since I can't confess to everyone, then please deprive me of the seat of the 'Five Parties' that belonged to me, and I am here to renounce my qualification to be the Prince." ”
"No!" Avi shouted in his heart, but there was silence, as if they were all taken aback by Bradley's decision. Gronos was the first to react, saying that he would respect Bradley's opinion, but he would still keep the seat that belonged to Princess Winlith, and at the same time add the young Princess Netney to this seat, and he expected Princess Winlith to ask Princess Netney's opinion when voting on the decision, after all, the latter is also the royal family of the Kingdom of Salins.
The Academy Ghost sat there, hated by Bradley's men, and Winlith sighed after being pulled by Bradley, "Well, since it's your decision, Brother Wang, then I'll follow it." As for their slander without evidence, I don't care about it, even if you didn't kill those traitors, Brother Wang, then there must be your reasons, and I absolutely trust you. The eldest princess in heavy plate armor glanced at everyone present, and her sharp eyes showed murderous intent.
Marquis Roberto did not say anything, although he was on the same side as Bradley in the fight against Amsey, but he represented the interests of the Duchy of Deramain, so Walter was the one he most wanted to be the prince of the kingdom.
"Now that we have reached a consensus, the seats of the 'Five-Party Council' have been decided, and the details can be discussed slowly, but there is one more important matter now," Gronos tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "Regarding King Byron's illness." ”
Bradley was ready to leave, and sat down again after hearing Gronos's words.
"Third Prince, please tell me what you are going to tell everyone. ”
"Here's the thing, my father's condition is very rare, and the royal doctors of the palace are helpless," Walter said and glanced at Evan, "Deputy Commander Evan is the one who knows his father's condition best, so even Deputy Commander Evan said that if there is no way, then there is really no way." And because I underwent a test given by my father before my father fell ill, a test about finding the weapon of life, I have the following gains. ”
As soon as Avi heard the words "Life Weapon", he immediately concentrated all his attention and looked at this hypocritical third prince. The same goes for the others, only the Academy Ghost doesn't react, maybe the face behind the hood has froze.
"According to my investigation over this period of time, I found that one of those legendary weapons is very different, it should be a necklace... Oh no, the key is that gem on the necklace. It is said that the gemstone protects the person who wears the necklace, so I thought that if we could find that necklace, maybe we would be able to heal my father!"
Maybe only Avi knew what the necklace and gems were talking about, because Avi had touched the necklace with his own hands, seen the grave of the owner of the necklace with his own eyes, and saw the past.
"So, that necklace isn't offensive, so why is it called a weapon?"
Walter explained, "As far as I know, there are no more than ten life weapons, they are all the work of the master blacksmith Sivel, all forged from the same raw material, and I guess that gem is different, and even has other abilities, but we don't know... I already have a rough idea of the whereabouts of this necklace, but its owner is no ordinary person, and I'll do my best... Even if it really doesn't have a healing effect, I hope to find it and dedicate it to my father!"
Walter's filial piety made those ministers and nobles standing in the distance admire, many people who originally supported Prince Amsoil were considering which side to switch, after Bradley's integrity was questioned, they began to set their eyes on Walter, who was still young and had no merits, if Walter really found that weapon of life, then he would be more qualified to become the prince!
Gronos: "It seems that we need to pick someone who is capable in all aspects to take charge of this, and Prince Walter has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, so let's think about who else is more suitable..."
"Father's illness... I'm willing to do my part if I can!Amme's rebellion has been put down, and I have no reason to continue commanding the army, I'm willing to look for that necklace!" Winlith is also worried about King Byron's condition, even if she wants to fight for Bradley again, even if Byron is not so fond of Winlith, but she is still the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Salins, and she still loves her father.
