"Unforgivable!"

Aiden's angry roar echoed through the chambers of Oak Palace, his clenched fists slammed into the table, causing the entire solid wood table to tremble.

Two days after the end of the Order's trial, the body of Eric, the youngest son of the Count Monka's family, was finally found in an abandoned mansion. Of course, it may seem inappropriate to say "found", because finding a corpse in the vast city of oaks is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thanks to the beggars, who could never be expelled, if they had not always changed their new abode, the miserable Count of Monca would never have seen his son again. Although Eric's body had been thoroughly ransacked by the beggars before the report was received, the capital sheriff breathed a sigh of relief. For him, the most important thing is whether he can find it, not some hellish appearance.

If it is placed in the usual days, the aristocratic lord was mysteriously assassinated and finally abandoned his body, it is definitely a sensational big news. But this incident has not set off even a single wave in today's Oak City, and even to the point that no one cares. The reason is simple, because the angel descended into the mortal world at the end of the trial of order.

Ever since the mighty trial team returned to Silver Oak City, this once-in-a-millennium event has spread at a frantic speed, instantly detonating the enthusiasm of the entire city. In both the upper and lower towns, those who attended the ceremony became the most sought-after objects, while those who did not make it to the Forest of Songs beat their chests in frustration.

As a result, in the intentional or unintentional touting and rendering, in just two days, the whole thing has fermented into various unbelievable versions. Some say that angels have given the gospel of the Lord God, some say that angels warn of sins in the world, and some even say that angels have brought a lot of treasures and gold coins.

In short, now as long as the things related to the main god of order, Somu, are on fire, even the slightly related religious ornaments, books, and utensils have been directly looted.

Together, the seat of the Holy See of Order, the Guangming Mountain Cathedral has welcomed countless believers who have come to worship in the past two days, and there is no sign of stopping. When there was no place in the church, he knelt down on the steps outside, and the steps were crowded around the square of order, and countless believers prayed and worshiped in the direction of the Guangming Mountain Cathedral. The whole city was driven into madness by miracles, and the prestige of the Order Sect reached its highest level in more than a thousand years.

Unlike the reactions of the commoners and nobles, the atmosphere that hung over the heads of the imperial ministers was somewhat gloomy and oppressive. The Earl's son is killed, the Trial Cadets are impersonated, and the Crown Prince is attacked in the Forest of Songs. The facts obtained from Soveland's description afterwards made Aiden completely furious, and after Eric's body was discovered, he immediately convened an impromptu meeting of the Imperial Council and announced the whole thing, which led to the scene just now.

"Right under our noses! How dare he on the most solemn state affairs of our kingdom!" the hideous growl continued. Objectively speaking, since Aiden succeeded to the throne, he has always given the impression of his subordinates as a gentle and gentle, generous and steady monarch, and similar situations rarely occur, or rather, there is no such thing at all. "I need a practical suggestion to get that damn guy out! right now, right now!"

Unlike Aiden's anger, the Imperial Ministers in the Council Chamber collectively fell into an intriguing silence at this moment. Donis wisely chose not to say a word, Rogett was still fiddling with the small dagger in his hand, and from time to time he glanced at Colin, Gassula's eyes flickered a little, as if he was thinking about something, not to mention Corno, who was scribbling on parchment, and today was a good day for him, a historian.

The Imperial Ministers understood the reason for Aiden's anger, but the situation in front of them was far beyond everyone's expectations. If they were a little unimpressed when they heard that the Earl's son had been assassinated, then when they heard that someone had impersonated him in the trial of order, their expressions became shocked, and in the end, it turned out that someone had assassinated the crown prince, and there was no trace of laziness on their faces, only sharp eyes.

Yes, they smell the smell of conspiracy, and no one will easily express their stance in front of a conspiracy, especially this kind of conspiracy that will kill you if you are not careful. Whoever was responsible for the near-successful assassination, it was clear to everyone that he was a complete lunatic.

Sirian sighed silently inwardly, and he was also present when Essaoweran recounted his experiences in the Forest of Songs. In addition to the shock, he had anticipated what might happen in the Imperial Council, and it was this silence, the silence that came from the cunning, fox-like politicians.

"Ahem...... Carian coughed softly, he wouldn't let the Imperial Council go on like this, let alone let Aiden fight alone, "Lord Tandra, the commander of the garrison, Lord Gesse, the chief medical officer, and Lord Simonson, the sheriff, have already rushed over, and I believe that news will come back soon." ”

"Waiting, the last thing I can bear right now is waiting. Aiden looked around at the silent crowd, disgruntled on his face. Suddenly, in the corner of the long table, he saw Kadog, the deputy of the Imperial Clerk Victor, who would normally not attend the Imperial Council.

"Where's Victor? why didn't he come?" Aiden asked.

Kadoge immediately stood up and bowed, and Sirian nodded to him and explained, "Lord Victor accidentally fell off his horse on the way back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Imperial Council for a short time. ”

Aiden rubbed his forehead with some distress, as if all kinds of things that didn't go well broke out together. "For the sake of the Lord God, isn't there even a little good news?"

Rogett glanced at Colin, and then said, "Your Majesty, good things are not out of the question. ”

"Say it, but don't let me down. Aiden said with a wry smile.

"The preparations for the celebration are all done," Rogett said with a smile, "as long as you give the order, the day after tomorrow, Silver Oak City will be transformed into a sea of joy." ”

"Well, that's a pleasant thing to do," Aiden finally smiled a little-so-good-looking, "and it's better if it weren't for the moment." ”

Sirian pondered beside him. "Aiden, will the sword ceremony be held as scheduled the day after tomorrow?" he asked softly, "or is it just a celebration and a sword ceremony after the Assassins are caught." ”

"Of course it will be held as scheduled!" Aiden's voice suddenly became high-pitched, as if to vent the anger in his heart, "I want those rats who wander in the darkness to see that no one can shake the will of the kingdom! Not before, not now, and not in the future!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty. Sirian replied in a low voice.

Gasula, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked at Sirian with a little amusement. "Speaking of rats, I do have some ideas," his words immediately attracted everyone's attention, "as you can see, the master of the whole conspiracy does not care about the nobles, nor the Holy See, nor the king. In other words, he trampled on everything at the pinnacle of power in this country. ”

Gasula looked at each of the ministers one by one, and he was pleased with the expressions on everyone's faces. "No one would do such a crazy thing unless this man is crazy," he paused, "but it was clear that this man was not crazy and that the plan was well planned. Gassula said, finally turning her gaze to Sirian, "Who in our kingdom would do this, and yet believe that he is righteous? ”

The atmosphere in the council chamber was solemn to the extreme, and the people who could sit here were not mediocre, on the contrary, they were all outstanding figures in the entire kingdom. Everyone realized for the first time that the situation, whether intentional or not, had escalated from this moment on.

Sirian squinted slightly, and he saw the other man's outstretched claws. "Lord Gasula, you mean that the Assassins are from the province of Sardinia?"

"I beg your pardon, it's not my malicious offense to you," Gassula bowed apologetically, "It's just a reasonable speculation by any means, and it's not unreasonable, isn't it?"

"The results of the investigation have not been released, is your speculation a little arbitrary? Sirian said.

Gasula waved her hand. "The Lord God is above, but I'm just worried," he continued, spreading his hands and with some pain, "for the people of the province of Sardinia, we contribute money and effort to bring them a happy life and build a city for their survival. If it is exchanged for a crazy assassination, it will not only be ironic, but frustration, the saddest of frustration. ”

Without waiting for Sirian to answer, Aiden spoke ahead of him, he would not allow the political struggle that had developed from this incident to expand unbridled, and the target of the attack was still Cyrian who had always supported him. "If that's the case, it's heart-wrenching, but it's just speculation, so let's focus on the case itself. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Gassula replied immediately.

Just then, the door to the council chamber was pushed open, and Tandra walked in. "Your Majesty, the preliminary post-mortem has come out. He bowed slightly and said succinctly.

"How's it going?" Aiden asked anxiously, not only him, but the other ministers also focused their eyes on Tandra.

"One hit, clean," Tandra gestured at the armpit of his left chest, "the dagger pierced the heart through the gap between the ribs, and there was no wound otherwise." He added, "With Eric's force, it wouldn't be difficult to kill him, but it's a bit surprising that he's so sophisticated." ”

"Is this difficult?" asked Colin with his round chin in his hands, a little puzzled.

"Pierce the heart with a dagger?" explained Carian, "It's nice for a normal person not to get a dagger stuck in the ribs, it's almost impossible to be so accurate." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The murderer is strong, very strong. Tandra said in an affirmative tone, "And according to Master Gesse, Eric had been killed at least four days ago. ”

"Four days ago?!......" Hearing this answer, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes, at least four days. Tandra nodded, and although it sounded incredible, he continued: "That is, the assassin disguised as Eric has fooled the instructors of the academy and even his family in a grand manner. ”

"Is it the other party?" Aiden asked.

Tandra shook her head. "There's no certainty," he said, "that Eric's body has been transported to Master Gesai's office, and hopefully there will be other clues." ”

After Tandra finished speaking, the council chamber fell silent again, it seemed that the murderer was not only a madman, but also a madman of extraordinary strength and extreme danger.
