Chapter 550: Ambition
Frey's body fell limply from the air to the ground, and he died with his eyes wide open, as if he still couldn't understand what had just happened.
This scene of cannibalism seemed to startle everyone present, and everyone stopped fighting, and the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
"Sriel, you bastard, how dare you betray Your Majesty and commit such a murderous act!", Lisbon's heart-rending voice broke the silence, and he strode forward, as if to avenge Frey.
"Lisbon, calm down!", Gletchev behind him grabbed him, and while those killers couldn't figure out for a while, he forced Lisbon to retreat in front of the Emperor.
"Frey is dead, Sriel has rebelled, and the plan to capture the leader alive is still failing, and if we go forward, we will only send them to death, and it will not help anything. ", Gletchev said coldly.
"Papapa", the hat-bearer applauded: "It is worthy of being a wise man that His Majesty relies on, and he is very calm and correct in his judgment." Although she still couldn't see her face clearly while wearing a hat, it could be heard from her slightly hoarse but beautiful voice that this hat-man was still a young woman.
"You are ......", hearing the voice of the hat man, Grievous the Great was stunned, and a suspicious look appeared on his face.
The hat man took off the hat on his head, revealing the beautiful face of the country's natural fragrance, "Good day, father, you didn't expect us to meet in this kind of scene, right?"
"Princess Sophia!", Lisbon exclaimed, he never expected that these people who commanded these killers and conspiracy to besiege and kill the Emperor would be the Emperor's favorite daughter, Princess Sophia.
"Hahahaha!", the emperor suddenly burst out laughing, "I see, I see, look at this is my good daughter, my good boy! You also betrayed your father like your three brothers, and you are a beast that is not as good as a pig and a dog!", and then he looked at Sriel, who was standing next to Princess Sophia with a blank face, "So you thief has already taken refuge in her, haven't you?" Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to organize such a huge force, but she didn't expose a single rumor, and the reports you made to me before were all lies!"
"And it's not enough to betray my trust, and even poison your own colleagues, asking for merit from your master, Sriel, Sriel, you are not even as good as a brute. ”
However, despite the Emperor's insults, Sriel had no expression at all, and he stood silently beside Princess Sophia, like an emotionless machine. It's just that the silver sword in his hand seems to be trembling slightly.
Princess Sophia gently took his hand so that the silver sword stopped trembling.
She looked directly at Emperor Grievous with contempt in her eyes, "Betrayal? isn't that what you want?, my dear father, if not......", she pointed to Frey, who was lying on the ground, "Frey disguised as a descendant of the great nobleman Mortier's family. Then she pointed to Lisbon and Gletchev standing in front of the Emperor, "Gletchev the advisor who advised my eldest brother, Lisbon, the Patriarch of the Holy Radiance of the Holy Church, and Sriel, my personal butler......"
"Answer me, my dear father, why the first words of their names are joined together by Grievous, and it happens to be the Violet family name, please don't tell me it's a pure coincidence. ”
But the Emperor did not answer Princess Sophia's words, "This is also what the thief Sriel told you, right?"
Princess Sophia nodded, "If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, who would have imagined that you had made a series of plans more than ten years ago. ”
"You will use means to make my brother meet Gletchev, and with your cooperation, Gletchev's plan is expected, and in the long run, the eldest brother will naturally regard Gletchev as his henchman. And Gletchev has been advocating rebellion in the ears of the eldest brother, coupled with your constant persecution, the eldest brother finally embarked on the road of no return to rebellion. And you've finally got your wish to get your reason to go to war against the Metizi in the South. ”
Then Princess Sofia looked at Lisbon again, "At the same time, you used the prince's competition for the throne as a bait to lure the noble forces and the Holy Sect in the city to join this vortex. The Holy Sect chose the second brother, and the nobles chose the third brother. A few years ago, you planted your own pawns in the Holy Religion and the aristocratic forces, and with the assistance and cooperation of the entire royal family's resources, Lisbon successfully became the Patriarch of the Holy Religion, and the Duke of Mortier became the leader and convener of the nobles. So under the guidance of these two people, the nobles and the Holy Religion fought with each other, and finally the Holy Religion was directly destroyed under the betrayal of Lisbon, and the aristocratic forces were severely defeated and could no longer resist your suppression. ”
As she spoke, Princess Sophia couldn't help laughing, "You still have the face to shout betrayal and betrayal, aren't the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all forced to death by you?
As Princess Sophia spoke, the Emperor also put away the sad expression on his face, and instead became indifferent. He looked at Princess Sophia's hand holding Sriel's arm and said, "It seems that Sriel has told you everything, but there are some plans that he doesn't even know. ”
"Some of them I reasoned out on my own. Princess Sophia continued: "For example, on the night of the eldest brother's rebellion, the bloody incident in the elder's house was not committed by the rebels in the city, but was actually the poisoner you sent, right?"
Now Emperor Grievous has nothing to hide, he nodded and admitted: "That's right, as long as the old immortals in the House of Elders are still alive, and the nobles are all under their leadership, the influence of the Duke Mortier pretended by Frey among the nobles is too small, which is not conducive to future plans." And Lance's rebellion was the best opportunity, and it just so happened that he sent people to the Elders' House that night to control the old immortals, but they had already been killed by the killers I sent. And the soldiers he sent fought with the city guards who rushed over, and all died in the Elders' Courtyard, and now everyone thought that those old immortals were killed by this group of soldiers, and no one suspected me at all. ”
"What does this mean? It means that I am favored by the Heavens, and that good fortune supports me, and that I am destined to become the Emperor of the Ages of St. Teresa, and to accomplish the great deeds that even the heroic kings have not been able to accomplish!", cried out Grievous the Great.
Sophia looked at him and shook her head disdainfully, "You're crazy, you're completely crazy." ”
