Leon now finally understood why Ulrik had let the Three Prophets and the Lion Knights slaughter Trubrun.

But here's the problem...... That Eren had risen from the dead, and had appeared under Forsette, and had even followed him to fight in Descha - only Leon had broken him down at the time.

Considering that it was the Three Prophets who led the men to slaughter Trubrun, it is not surprising that Eren came back from the dead.

"Eren...... Maybe it's the name, I'm too unsure, I just know that he's the captain of the squadron here, and he is a man under the Duke of Brennus - he was originally sent by the Duke of Brennus to be in charge of extinguishing the mouth, but after he hooked up with the queen, he was transferred to the Lion Knights, so I came in as a cook......"

The fat cook explained things very clearly, full of desire to survive.

"Who knows about the little princess?"

Leon had already begun to figure out how to change his original plan.

"Everyone who knows should be dead...... I killed all those maids. Only last year when Princess Filina was sick, His Majesty had told her, but both she and His Majesty were now dead...... Now, presumably, no one knows about it except Duke Brennus and me. ”

The fat cook thought for a moment and shook her head.

"It's impossible that no one knows...... If no one knows, how did King Ulrik know two years ago? ”

Li Ang also shook his head, drew his sword and sighed: "You'd better think about it carefully......"

"...... two years ago"

The fat cook thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Maybe Duke Alma knows." The year before last, the Duke of Alma had visited him, and His Majesty had hosted a banquet for him, and I was cooking and serving the food. The Duke of Alma tried to betroth his young son to the little princess, but His Majesty refused...... I remember they had an argument at the banquet. After the departure of the Duke of Alma, His Majesty lost his temper for a long time, and from that time on he often killed people, and the walls of the House of Lords were guarded from that time on...... However, Duke Alma and his youngest son are also dead. ”

Alma?

The youngest son of Duke Alma must have died at the hands of Forsette......

However, Alma had planned to marry a young son, who could not inherit the family business, to the king's only daughter?

This means that Alma must have known about this—he probably told the king that the little princess was not his own after the king refused to marry, and that he was trying to convince Ulrique to marry the little princess to his youngest son.

However, the king must still not have agreed—it is estimated that the king was not convinced of this at that time, so the banquet broke up.

But Ulrique's temperament has changed dramatically since then, and that was clearly the turning point.

Since Alma knew, then ...... Will Fawsett know too?

That's why he recruited Elian......

Leon let out a long breath - I see!

Since Eric and Grandlon had reported that something might be wrong with Forsette, Leon was already on his guard.

Before coming to Lion City this time, Leon asked Wentilv to send orders to various places to prepare for war, and let Grandon go to Lion Lake City with the First Banner Guard in advance, all to prevent Forsette - or rather, to prevent heretics from using Forsette's identity to do things.

In fact, you only need to take precautions, after all, you know that there may be a problem with Fusette's identity, and with such an obvious goal, if something happens, it will be easier to control the situation, and there is no need to startle the snake.

Moreover, Wendy will naturally go to Herminerd when she sends orders everywhere, and she should not be long before she reports the situation to Leon.

Since this matter has something to do with Forsette, and it is possible that Fawsett has been replaced by heresy, Leon's plan will have to change.

This cook was really important, and she couldn't die for a while, so Leon imprisoned her in the tower again.

Later, the search in the tower ended, and no other suspicious characters were found, and the bodies in the basement were indeed four maids.

But Leon was disturbed—he hadn't found the prophet who had used Anna's identity, or any other heresy like a blood-sworn witch.

On top of that, the Sersi, the prophet who used the status of a maid, was not able to find it either.

These two prophets ...... Where is it?

There were no secret passages in the old royal house of Pande, because this was not the king's residence, but an office, and there was no need for any escape routes.

So, how did they get out of here?

It is true that the matter of Foxtown has nothing to do with the Three Prophets, but is the matter of Forsette related to the Three Prophets?

Who is the other heresy in Fox Town?

Leon looked at Anna's corpse, the blood-sworn shrinemaiden who had fallen in the garden but was still tied, and fell into deep thought.

…………

The next day, the Throne Room.

News of King Ulrik's death had spread throughout the Lion City, and many nobles had arrived in the throne room, filling the otherwise spacious hall.

As the actual controller of the current Lion City, and as the convener of this 'press conference', Leon stood under the Silver Throne and officially released the obituary of the king's death.

“…… It has been established that Princess Anna is a heretical leader and that her henchman Inna is a spy of the Fields Wills Alliance. Heretic Anna framed Miss Amy in order to seize the throne, and brutally murdered Princess Filina. His Majesty wisely discovered this and killed the heretic in time, but in a valiant battle with Fieldsway's spies, His Majesty died in the King's Road......"

The cause of Ulrique's death, Leon said, 'died in battle'.

Yes, died in battle.

Although every nobleman in the throne room knew that the king had been 'torn up' by a deputy commander of the guard named Inna, no one expressed any objection to the cause of death.

From the guards who 'witnessed this', the nobles already knew that Princess Anna had murdered Princess Filina, and that the king had probably killed Princess Anna in the same way in the Tower of the House of Lords—a good fit for Ulrique's usual temper.

Then, the king is held hostage by Innar and his throat is cut in the street - a proper revenge killing, and everyone knows that Innard is very trusted by Princess Anna, and in this case everyone can realize that Innard is probably a leg with the princess.

But after all, Ulrique was the king they had once been loyal to, and it was really inappropriate to say that it was a love killing......

The king of the knight country died at the hands of the generals of the enemy country, this is the most appropriate way to say.

At the same time, the nobles realized that the Lion Kingdom was about to go to war with Fieldsway, and Leon described Inner as Fieldsway's spies.

But then again, Leon didn't lie nonsense, Inna was indeed from Fieldsway, and he did act like a spy......

Inna was the adopted son of Gondor, Lord of Fieldsway, the Doomseeker.

The prestige and status of 'Doom Seeker' Gondor in Fields are quite high, and his reputation in the Lion Realm is also very great. Although his land territory was limited to the Stronghold of Longbeard, he was recognized as the Grand Pirate Elder - he was even dubbed the 'King of the Western Sea' by the pirates of Van Skerry.

Even the Buckleys who wanted to enter the West Coast had to get on good terms with Gondor – or pay tribute.

Regardless of the ship, as long as the mast is topped with Gondor's Trident flag, it will not encounter any pirates when entering and exiting the West Coast.

The adopted son of such a sea elder came to the Lion Kingdom to be loyal to Princess Anna, which is very doubtful.

It's just that he was deeply trusted by the princess before, and after Princess Anna gave him knighthood, no one said anything about it anymore - no one wanted to offend a favorite concubine who was pregnant with the king's heir.

But even so, the princess could only arrange him to serve in the royal city guards - such a suspicious character could only enter the king's private army.

And now that the king is dead at the hands of Inna, and there is no doubt about it, there is nothing to say, for whatever reason, it has nothing to do with Fields anyway.

In other words, the area around Fieldsway's High Cliff Fort will definitely become a battlefield......

And the location of the high cliff fort...... To the north is Crag Bay, and to the south is Howling Castle......

The place bordering Fieldsway was either Brennus's territory or that of the Three Prophets.

Of course, Leon deliberately published such an obituary - all the nobles would support this obituary, let Brenus and the Three Prophets deal with the Fields Kingdom.

Oh no, it's not a kingdom anymore......

In his obituary, Leon speaks of the 'Fields Alliance'.

He had already stated that he no longer saw Fieldsway as a kingdom, but as a bunch of perfidious pirates.

This is the proper procedure - the Lion Kingdom and Fields were allied before, which means that the Lion Kingdom regarded Fields as an equal country, so Fields should be called a kingdom.

And now, Fieldsway's men 'tear up the covenant and kill the Lion King', it can only be an alliance of pirates and smugglers.

…………

Three days later, Amy arrived in the Lion City.

After receiving the summons from Risadillan as quickly as possible, she did bring only all the cavalry, and rushed over day and night.

She was also the first unit to arrive in Lion City after the incident.

Leon ...... How the hell did my mother die? ”

This was Amy's first question after meeting Leon.

"If I'm not mistaken, she must have jumped off the tower of the House of Lords herself...... She doesn't want the Lion Kingdom to fall into the hands of heretics, and she doesn't want her to be a burden to you and Lord Godric......"

Leon replied.

This was indeed his true judgment, but he could only say it to Amy alone.

That's why Leon deliberately made things look like they are – because that's what Filina wants.

Filina didn't commit suicide on impulse, she knew what the consequences would be if she died in front of Ulrik.

Either King Ulrik becomes suspicious of the princess, or even has a conflict with the princess, and then discovers that the princess's child is not his, or discovers that the princess is a heretic - as long as you are willing to investigate, it is still easy to find, and Ulrik is not stupid.

Or, Ulrique died at the hands of Princess Anna.

Either way, at least Princess Anna will most likely be exposed, and at least the Lion Kingdom will not fall into the hands of heretics.

And, either way, Godric, Amy, and Andrew will be safer.

If Ulrique hadn't died, but had found out that the princess was a heretic or had killed her, he would not have tried to trap Andrew and Amy in the short term - because Ulrique himself knew that the princess was not his own, and he would not let the throne fall to the princess, and Andrew and Amy would be the closest heirs to him.

Unless Ulrique has children again.

And if Ulrik is killed by the princess, then at least the siege of Foxtown will be lifted, because the Lion Knights will definitely withdraw to Lion City, will no longer deal with Amy, and will even protect Amy, who has the right to inherit the throne and is the third heir in addition to the little princess and Andrew.

After the death of the king, there will inevitably be a battle for the throne, and until the dust settles, no one will take Amy's heresy accusations seriously, but many nobles will find a way to clear the accusations on Andrew and Amy.

Because, if the king died, then Amy, who was besieged in Fox Town, was more trustworthy, and this third heir was likely to become the first heir in this case - she was trapped in Fox Town and couldn't do anything, which meant that the king's death must have nothing to do with her.

Then the accusation of heresy on Amy will be easily resolved, and there will be countless nobles who will help Amy defend - whoever becomes the guardian of the little princess will be targeted by the nobles and will be considered the one who framed Amy.

For the little princess was only ten years old, although she had a higher line of succession, and the minor children could not transfer the power of the king, and the authority would only fall into the hands of her guardians—like Alma's eight or nine-year-old niece.

After Alma's death, Ulrik forcibly married the girl and took control of Lion Lake City as a father and guardian. But as the girl's husband, Aranrik had no power at all.

But Amy is just an adult, and she is not yet married - adults don't need guardians, and if Amy becomes queen, she can directly delegate authority to her husband, and whoever marries her can directly become king or regent.

For the nobles, Amy is the best heir to the king, and every nobleman will 'help' her.

Besides, Amy is so beautiful that most of the knights of the Lion Knights covet her.

At the same time, Filina saw Leon enter the House of Lords - just as she had told Princess Anna, Filina knew that Leon would definitely save Amy.

Amy often writes to Filina, and Filina knows that Leon and Amy's relationship does not need to be doubted at all.

Leon is now the marshal of the kingdom, and he has not lost the war in the north and south, as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to protect Amy's safety, just like the blood lion protected Helen back then.

Moreover, Filina knew that both Godric and Amy were willing to make Leon king......

On the contrary, she herself, in fact, has no other way to go - Princess Anna said that she would send her home, which means that she will most likely become a bargaining chip used by Princess Anna to control Godric and Amy.

Filina didn't want to be a hostage at the hands of heretics.

At the same time, Filina must make Ulrique suspicious of Princess Anna - as long as the princess gives birth, then Ulrique will definitely trap Amy and Andrew.

Because Ulrik wants to pave a thorn-free path for his own children, he won't let them follow the same path he did back then—even if he does the same thing as the Mad King.

Therefore, Filina chose to die in front of Ulrik, and that was probably her only chance, and if she missed it, she would become a hostage at the hands of heretics, and maybe even become a madman like Lady Bella.

Only Leon, who knows most of the inside information, can understand why Filina did this.

Therefore, Leon made the outcome that Filina wanted a more fitting one - both the king and Princess Anna died, and both died plainly.

Princess Anna was directly identified as a heretical leader and the murderer of Filina, so Amy's suspicion was naturally cleared - this belonged to Anna's plot to fight for the throne, and Leon had already stated in his obituary, and no one would object to this statement.

At the same time, the king is dead, which means that no one will try to harm Amy again.

"Amy, I'm not sure if that's Aunt Filina's intention, but I don't think she's going to object...... Do you want to be a queen? ”
