"How is that possible?!"

"Her Royal Highness is fake, is this an exaggeration......"

"However, Her Royal Highness the princess hasn't come back for so many years, maybe there will really be an accident. ”

Tuttle's words were like a thunderbolt, directly pushing the atmosphere in the entire palace to the limit. I have to say that once the two nobles of Hopus and Tuttle, one strong and one soft, join forces, the energy generated is really unimaginable.

On the one hand, it was Hoppers who persuaded his ministers with words, logic, and reason, and on the other hand, Tuttle, who was silent by nature, made astonishing speculations - if it were Hopus, most of the ministers knew that he was good at reversing black and white, and they might not believe it, but Tuttle was a more fact-oriented person, at least in their opinion.

"Your Excellency, this joke is not funny. ”

Bella's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, questioning the identity of a princess, and it was indeed a big rebellion in normal times, even if Tuttle was a duke, he couldn't question it at will.

But now it's different, the only father who can control him has died......

"Whether it's true or not, it's actually very easy to judge. ”

Hopps also didn't give Bella any room to turn around, and said directly: "A bloodline identification technique is enough - of course, I know that if you go to the Inheritance Temple, you can also detect the results." ”

He smiled, obviously prepared: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is real, then it's fine, but if it's fake...... As you all know, the Legacy Shrine is the most sacred place in the country and must not be defiled. If you let a fake princess enter the Inheritance Temple, you will also let her come into contact with the most sacred divine light......"

"I'm afraid it will cause the wrath of the god of light to no longer shelter us!"

Prince Asaph also seemed to react a little, and he took Hopes's words at the right time.

"That's right, and the person who performed the bloodline identification technique is Bishop Burton of the Dawn Cathedral, the branch of the Dawn Holy See in the royal capital. I vouch for my family's reputation that Bishop Burton is a man of paramount integrity and will never lie in this matter. ”

The words were so unremarkable that even Iroh couldn't help but applaud Hopps.

Human beings are like this, many times, a righteousness that seems ethereal to the dragon clan can play a big role, even subverting the situation...... As for what Bishop Burton?

Whether Bella is a real princess or not, Iroh believes that no one knows better than herself, and Hopps is not a fool to deliberately put herself in a disadvantageous situation. Then the result will be obvious, I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will cheat in the bloodline identification technique.

Reputation, you say?

Although Iroh is not human, he also knows a little about the shamelessness of these great nobles. Interests always come first, anyway, as long as you become the ultimate victor, even if you use some shady means, you will only be glorified into wisdom in the future.

Moreover, he also believed that with the old and refined character of the two dukes, even if anyone suspected the inside story of this matter, it would be impossible to find any evidence to prove that they had done it!

This is the terrible ...... of man

Bella obviously thought of this layer as well, and her pretty face suddenly turned a little pale.

"How, is Her Royal Highness the Princess willing to conduct the test?" Hopps looked at Bella's face and smiled slightly, "If it turns out that we are wrong, then we are willing to accept any punishment from Your Highness." ”

"I ......"

Bella seemed to want to struggle for a while, she desperately thought of a way: "But you don't have any evidence, and no one knows if that bishop is credible! The best way is to enter the Inheritance Temple, if I am really a fake princess, how can I make such a request?"

"Because of psychological tactics. ”

Tuttle spoke unhurriedly, singing and harmonizing between him and Hopps, seemingly without the slightest flaw: "It's a very simple psychological warfare. When I was in the army, I saw a lot of enemies who often used the inertia of our thinking to set some seemingly simple traps - however, history tells us that I don't know how many officers have been defeated by inertial thinking. ”

"That's right, you know that everyone is thinking, 'It's impossible for a fake princess to take the initiative to enter the Inheritance Temple to expose herself', so they deliberately made this request to confuse the public. We can't be sure if you've prepared the means to evade the Inheritance Temple's detection?"

Hopps then added.

"Abominable ......"

is worthy of being two big nobles who have been in charge of the government for many years, and in terms of scheming, although Princess Bella is not bad, she is definitely not their opponent. Seeing that the situation was once again reversed, Bella bit her lip anxiously and turned her attention to Marquis Alec for help.

However, the seemingly reliable man did not give her any response.

The reason is very simple, although Alec's real body is an ancient black dragon, his purpose is not really to help Bella ascend to the throne. Originally, he chose to form an alliance with Bella, just to muddy the waters of the royal capital - and he didn't believe that Bella would admit defeat so easily.

And even though there is a contractual bond between him and Bella, this bondage is also shallow, only mentioning the need to help each other as much as possible. And the current situation is indeed a little difficult for him as a marquis to deal with.

In short, what Alec has to do is to retain his strength and wait and see what happens!

Sure enough, the next moment, a new change happened.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, go!"

Just as Bella opened her mouth to stammer, a gleam flashed in Ello's eyes, and a swift stride came to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Immediately after that, another silver-haired man dressed as a mage appeared behind Bella out of thin air, also placing a hand on her shoulder.

Hearing only a soft sound, the three of them disappeared in an instant!

"Spatial teleportation!"

Tuttle's face changed dramatically.

"Not good, Inheritance Temple!"

Hops also screamed, he didn't expect Iroh to be so decisive and dare to take the princess directly to the Inheritance Temple at the risk of shamelessness.

Because the Inheritance Temple, as he said before, is an extremely sacred place. The general succession to the throne is to choose the heir first, and after a lot of rituals, the last step is to bring the heir to the temple to receive the blessings of the gods.

If Iroh was really just a declining nobleman, he might not dare to do such a thing that clearly violated tradition. It's a pity that Iroh is a dragon, and human tradition is not as attractive to him as a piece of fresh meat.

Years of habitual thinking also made Hopps suffer a big loss this time.

However, he is also worthy of being a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and the inheritance ceremony is not something that can be completed in a while. In less than a second, he calmed down and clapped his hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the result is already obvious: this princess is fake, and she has also colluded with Count Elo in a vain attempt to defile the sacred Inheritance Temple! As a prince of the kingdom, I will never allow this to happen!"

"Me too. Tuttle nodded in the same way, "The current turmoil in the palace is the time for our courtiers to clear the scourge for the future king." ”

As they spoke, they all turned their gazes to Prince Asaph, and the meaning was self-evident.

"This ...... Your Majesty!"

The courtiers looked at each other, but finally decided to go along with the general trend of the trio - after all, even if Asaph was not a suitable new king, he was better than Princess Bella, who might be a fake.

What's more, after witnessing the previous scene, Marquis Alec, who originally supported Bella, actually changed his attitude and did not leave with Iro, but stayed.

His intentions are already obvious.

Since the three nobles have unified their opinions, what do they insist on?

Thinking like this, even if there was still some suspicion and reluctance in people's hearts, they had to kneel down one after another.

Soon, another fact confirmed Hopps's previous claim.

"Oh no, Her Royal Highness the Princess's private forces have just blocked the city gates and put the streets under martial law, not allowing anyone to move around!"

A guard burst in from outside the palace and reported to Tuttle.

"Don't worry, my second legion should soon lift the siege of the royal capital. ”

Tuttle was composed, waved his hand and smiled.

"As you can see," Hopps walked up calmly, "we have long seen the face of that fake, and now please wait in peace, our men are about to take over the palace to rid Bella and Iroh of the two traitors!"

"Mr. Carroll!"

As he spoke, Hopps raised his voice and called out to the outside of the palace.

"Your Excellency, Duke. ”

With an answer, a full thirteen figures appeared at the door of the main hall, ten of them were the lion orcs and their entourage who had rushed to the royal capital that night, and the other three were two men and one woman, all exuding the aura of a strong man, thinking that they were Hopes and Tuttle's subordinates.

"We are the envoys of the Ironstone Tribe, and this time we are ordered by the Star Venerable to eradicate the traitors of the Silver Dragon Clan, as well as those who collude with them!"

The words instantly surprised people again. Even though Falkenridge is a small country, they also know what the title of Star Venerable represents!

Kairol glanced at the somewhat nervous ministers, and said lightly, "Please don't be nervous, the Ironstone Tribe has no intention of interfering in your internal affairs, as long as the Venerable's order is completed, we will evacuate immediately!"

"Looks like Mr. Carole is feeling that smell too?"

Hoppus smiled and stroked his beard and stepped forward to bow slightly.

"Well, when the mage activated the teleportation technique just now, I felt a faint feeling. Even if that mage isn't a traitor, it definitely has a lot to do with it. The young and old lion orc nodded, "With the help of the two dukes, we will report this matter to the Celestial Wings after the mission." ”

"Thank you so much to the messengers. ”

Upon receiving a satisfactory reply, Hopps immediately turned around and said to Asaph and Tuttle, "Guys, you can't continue to let the traitors be arrogant. Let's go to the Inheritance Temple together and return the country to Qingming!"

At the same time, the heart of the royal palace is home to the Temple of Heritage.

"How could it be ......"

Bella's eyes widened and she stared ahead without blinking, her watery eyes full of shock.

You can't blame her for her gaffe, but something unexpected happened today, it's too much!

Not far from her, in the center of the Inheritance Temple, there was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing. If that alone wasn't enough to shock her, but...... The boy was bathed in golden light, apparently already receiving the blessing and preparing to complete the last rite of succession on the throne!
