Chapter 78: Diary
"Your Highness, when you read this letter, I am sure that I have endured eternal torment in the deepest depths of hell. β
"Don't wonder why, because when I decided to help Duke Stark kill His Majesty together, it was my destined fate. β
"I am not going to ask for your forgiveness, nor am I qualified to do so. Leave this letter in the hope that the truth will not be covered up and that you will not continue to be deceived. β
"The reason why I chose to reveal the truth at such a time is because by this time, there is a high probability that my most cherished family will have suffered bad luck. And I was willing to murder His Majesty with Duke Stark and His Royal Highness Prince Eric because they threatened me with the lives of all my family. Now that the family is gone, the threat is no longer valid. β
"I'm a shameful coward. For the sake of my family, I agreed to this sinful deal with them. Even though I knew in my heart that even if I did, they would still end up putting my family to death in order to cover up the truth. β
"Your Highness, you must be very angry. I understand your anger because my sins are simply unforgivable. I have served His Majesty since I was a child, and His Majesty has always been very good to me, and I should have repaid His Majesty's highest loyalty, but betrayed him at the last moment, and even sent deadly poison into his mouth with my own hands. β
"When I saw that Majesty drink that bowl of deadly potion, I was actually dead. Shortly after His Majesty's death, I chose to commit suicide, perhaps seen by many as proof of loyalty, but it was not. It's just an escape. β
"I couldn't hold back the intense guilt in my heart. I couldn't bear to sleep every night as if I was being watched by His Majesty's gaze. So I chose to run away and finally chose suicide. β
"Your Highness, if you read this letter, it proves that my hunch has come true, and my family has been purged. But it also proved that I was lucky that I should have a family that survived and passed this letter into your hands. β
"I don't expect your forgiveness, but for the sake of the gods. Please forgive me, the only remaining member of my family. He is already the only hope for our family, and I ask you to mercifully forgive him. My family had no idea what I was doing, and they should have paid enough for it. β
"As for me, let me suffer the most painful eternal torment in the deepest part of hell forever, for my sins will never be cleansed. β
After reading the last sentence, Sevigny's hand that was holding the letter trembled slightly.
Anger, surprise, unease, grievance, panic...... The emotions that are usually extremely difficult to appear on Sevigny struck violently, making her whole brain go blank and completely lose her ability to think.
"It turns out that my father did not die of disease. β
"My father was poisoned and killed by Governor Delma!"
"It's actually Duke Stark who killed my father, and Eric is involved!"
The blood on Sevigny's face receded, and his originally fair skin turned pale at this time. It's amazing to look at.
A moment later, the whiteness suddenly flushed again. Sevigny's body shook violently, his lips opened, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Sevigny's reaction, the archdeacon and Gavin on the side were shocked.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?"
Seeing that the archdeacon was about to rush over to support him, Severny quickly put away the letter in his hand and raised his hand to stop him from approaching.
After taking a deep breath, Sevigny's face slowly recovered from the blankness just now, and his eyes became as calm as usual again.
But if you look closely, you will find that her expression and eyes no longer have the usual mild warmth, but a deep chill from it.
Sevini glanced at Gavin, then looked at the letter in his hand, took another deep breath, folded the letter into his bosom, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and opened the booklet.
This pamphlet is a diary of Delmar's director.
The time in this diary begins three months before the death of Lampari XIII and ends on the last day before the death of Governor Delmar.
From this diary, it can be seen that Lampari XIII had actually become seriously ill a few months earlier, and his physical condition had deteriorated extremely quickly.
At the beginning of the diary, Delmar's tone was filled with worry and sadness.
By about a month and a half before Lampari XIII's death, the diary had become alarmed, and the contact between the Duke of Stark and the Governor of Delmar had begun.
A few days before the death of Lampari XIII, the diary began to record the daily changes in Lampari XIII's body, as well as the hesitation in the mind of the head of Helm Demar.
After that, there was a break of several days, and a few days after the death of Lampari XIII, the governor of Delmar left a long diary, which recorded the circumstances of Lampari XIII's death on that day very clearly, describing in detail how the Duke of Stark persecuted him, and how he poisoned Lampari XIII.
In this diary, there is also a mention of the vial left in this package.
According to the description, the vial contained the poison that killed Lampari XIII.
After that, Delmar's diary revealed a clear will to die, and the content of the diary only recorded how he arranged his family and his own funeral.
In his diary, Governor Delmar stated that he knew very well that even if he did not commit suicide, His Royal Highness Prince Eric and Duke Stark would kill him in order to kill him.
If he voluntarily chooses to commit suicide, in addition to wanting to escape from the endless guilt, it can be regarded as for the sake of his family.
However, at the end of the diary, he also stated that Duke Stark and His Royal Highness Prince Eric are very likely to dispose of all his family members for insurance, so that it is easier to hide the truth of the matter.
Severny cursoried through the notebook, but since he had read the letter before, he was not too shocked.
It's just that when he saw the section in his diary about the poisoning of Lampari XIII, Sevigny still couldn't help but tremble a few times.
After reading it all, Sevini thought for a while, and then he loved the diary and the little bottle and put it away carefully, and his eyes fell on Gavin.
"Your Highness......"
Feeling the complicated meaning in Sevigny's eyes, Gavin couldn't help but shake his body, and his heart was a little worried.
I am afraid that the secret recorded in my father's letter is extremely astonishing, otherwise Her Royal Highness the Queen of Severny would vomit blood.
Fortunately, after looking at Gavin with a complicated expression for a while, Sevinny didn't say more, but just turned his head to the archdeacon and explained, "Take Gavin down to rest." In addition, the news of Jiawen's arrival here is completely blocked, and no one knows. See what I mean?"
The archdeacon nodded deeply: "Yes." β
"Go ahead. β
When both the archdeacon and Gavin had withdrawn, and there was only one person left in the room again, Sevigny suddenly shook his body and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
When I released it again, the handkerchief was already a blinding bright red.
Looking at this shocking mass of blood, Sevigny's face finally showed infinite sadness, and he whispered softly, "Eric, you ...... Is it that ruthless?"
###
A pure black magic car speeds down the road to the city of Kuraka, the capital of the Kingdom of Ruersun.
Built three years ago by the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, the road was expanded last year and is now a 20-metre-wide highway and the largest in the kingdom of Ruerson.
The northernmost route of the road goes straight to the border between the kingdoms of Lampari and the kingdoms of Ruersun, and the southernmost part connects the largest seaport city of the kingdom of Ruersun, Nissi, but passes through the city of Kuraka on the way, and runs through the entire kingdom of Ruerson from north to south.
Judging by the non-stop shuttle carriages and the occasional magic locomotive, this road is now definitely the busiest road in the Kingdom of Ruersun.
And that's exactly what happened.
The official Ruersun Kingdom designated this Lulan Highway as the most important transportation artery in the Ruerson Kingdom, and a post station was set up every other section along the way, not only providing travelers with rest and accommodation services, but even each post station was equipped with a small team of the kingdom's regular garrison, responsible for guarding the entire road.
Of course, this has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the existence of this highway connects the north and south of the Ruerson Kingdom, and by virtue of this road, the Ruerson Kingdom has achieved great development.
The disadvantage is that the entire kingdom of Ruersun is now a little too dependent on the transportation convenience brought by this road, and all the development is concentrated in the areas connected by this road, which makes the development of other parts of the kingdom unsatisfactory.
However, the situation will improve dramatically in the next few years.
The Kingdom of Ruersun has signed a new agreement with the AmritΓ© Chamber of Commerce, requiring the AmritΓ© Chamber of Commerce to build three more large highways across the entire Ruhrson Kingdom in the next five years, not only connecting the north and south, but also connecting the east and west.
In addition, dozens of secondary roads connecting these four main roads will need to be built, with the ultimate goal of spreading the road traffic in the Ruerson Kingdom throughout the kingdom, and striving to catch up with the current level of road traffic in the Lampari Kingdom within five years.
"The kingdom of Ruersun may have forgotten an important question. Kennard, who was sitting in the back seat of the magic car, glanced at the large number of carriages running on the Lulan Highway, shook his head to Xu Yi beside him, and said: "It's useless to have a road alone, the important thing is to have a suitable means of transportation." In addition to a large number of paved roads, the Ruerson Kingdom may have to buy more magic locomotives from our Chamber of Commerce. β
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Kennard, do you want us to make a bet?" (to be continued......)
