Chapter 65: The Lost Prince
There were a total of five people in the carriage, His Majesty the father Midonico, the second sister Princess Edwina, the fourth brother Prince Berglay, the fifth sister Princess Essia, and the last sixth brother, Prince Harry, except for the returning eldest sister, it seemed that there was still one person missing.

The third brother, Prince Cezel, the eldest brother of Harry, why is he not here, there is also a big reason for this.
This matter has to start from ten years ago, although the relationship between the empire and the southern Shurima people at that time was not very good, but it did not reach the serious point of war, and the two sides have been lukewarm, but this pattern broke out one day in this year.
That's right, this matter has something to do with Prince Cezel.
At that time, Prince Cizer seemed to be the main culprit of the war, and it is said that he wanted to murder his eldest sister because he was dissatisfied with His Majesty's favor, but it was obviously impossible to do such a righteous thing to kill his relatives in front of everyone, and it could only be solved by an unknown assassination.
So he made a secret agreement with the reactionaries of the southern Shurima to help each other kill some of his own people, and to help each other with the strength of both sides, so that even if he left any trace, he would not suspect himself.
So one day, when Prince Cizer was planning to assassinate his eldest sister, a sudden arrest came to him, and he was labeled as colluding with the enemy country and wantonly starting a war, and was imprisoned in a dark prison.
In fact, the reactionaries of the southern Shurima who had reached an agreement with Prince Cizer were arrested the day before yesterday, and under severe torture, these reactionaries confessed everything, including the assassination of their side by Prince Cizer's men.
Knowing all this, the king of the southern Shurima was still in the throes of his wife, and in a fit of rage, he sent a large army to attack the borders of the empire, and many border towns were bloodied in one day, and at this time they sent messengers to bring such words to the people of the empire.
If they did not hand over Prince Cizer to them, they would go for themselves and approach the capital of the Empire, as the barbaric Shurima Empire wrote in a bloodstained letter.
At that moment, not only the king sitting on the throne was angry, but the people were also angry at this moment, which was completely ignorant of the prestige of the empire, worthy of an uncivilized and lowly race, such barbaric methods and language, leaving no room for negotiation, the precious bridge of negotiation has been cut off by them alive, and the war can only start.
Wang angrily crushed the letter in his hand, the room for negotiation has been completely vetoed by these barbarian people, if at this time the peace is whispered, I am afraid that it will make other countries laugh and be generous.
Under the cries of the people, the king sent his army and the troops of the various realms to fight back politely, and at the same time sent people to arrest Prince Cizer, who was the culprit, and put him in prison, quietly awaiting his own verdict.
The empire fought back with courtesy, and the lords on the border sent their own armies, together with the elite of the empire, to meet these barbaric Shurimas, and after several days of attacks, they finally forced these Shurimas back beyond the borders of the empire, and the imperial army pursued them fiercely, and also violated their borders, and it was on this reason that the war broke out, a war between the two races.
As for the conviction of Prince Cizer, it was jointly judged by the Senate of the nobility and His Majesty, whether he was guilty or not, from the eyes of ordinary people, this is obviously an unforgivable crime, but from the eyes of the nobility, it is another meaning, they see something deeper, and the nobles think that Prince Cizer is not guilty.
So so, the so-called lack of evidence, that is to say, it is very likely that the king of the enemy kingdom Shurima deliberately framed Prince Cezel, and the most important proof of the crime that can establish the crime is not at all, could it be decided by the king of the enemy country with a few words? This is impossible.
Because what the king of the enemy country did was too rude, and the people of the empire did not have a good impression of these uncivilized barbarians, and they were obviously still very resentful, so ah, can the king of this barbarian really believe what he says?
The results of the various debates of the nobles all pointed to the question of whether Prince Cizer had really done these treasonous things, such a question was really not asked, and as a prince of the empire, he would not lie if he was a prince of the empire and shouldered the glory of the empire.
At that time, Princess Anastaya was also participating in the sentence against Cizer, and she had in her hand a sealed note that could determine his fate, which was found in a hidden secret room in Cezel's room, which contained a plan for how to murder herself.
Ironclad evidence as heavy as steel was placed in front of everyone, and everyone was inexplicably quiet, and His Majesty couldn't help frowning at that moment.
Under the questions of the nobles, as well as the gaze of Princess Anataya and His Majesty, Prince Cizer replied, yes, he had the intention of killing the eldest sister, and the purpose of writing this was to kill the eldest sister, because he was jealous of the eldest sister, but there was one thing he did not admit, that is, he participated in the civil war between the Shurima people, and it was not the person who killed Shurima, he denied all this, and did not admit it alive or dead.
The verdict on this matter, which lasted for a week, was given.
Prince Cizer is the son of His Majesty, and he did not trade with the enemy country against the noble spirit of the Manster Empire, but because of the intentional murder of Princess Nataya, after careful consideration, Prince Cizer was deprived of the right to participate in the struggle for the throne, and all the military forces under his control were disbanded.
A series of judgments were thus executed, and Prince Cizer was deprived of the rights of a prince, leaving only a verbal title, but unfortunately the prince was no longer a prince, and was reduced to a spurned existence by all people, exiled outside the imperial capital, like a former rich man who had become a worthless poor.
Although his wealth was not confiscated, most of the important things were left in the imperial capital that he could not enter for a lifetime, and only a few gold coins could be brought out, but these gold coins were enough for him to spend many lifetimes.
Since then, the third prince Cezel has not existed, and his name has been removed from the list of members of the royal family, and this is the price, saving one death, but it is almost like death.
