Durham guessed correctly, and after a while he saw two cloaked men appear on the other side of the alley.

Judging from the figure, it should be a man and a woman, and the captain of the royal guard is still pondering the identity of the other side.

The woman in one of them had already removed the hood from her head.

"Sir Duran, I'm sorry to have brought you here in this way."

"Priest Cornelia, is that you?" The chief of the royal guard was very surprised, "Your Majesty was poisoned shortly after you left this morning, I sent someone to look for you, but unfortunately it was too late, Your Majesty is ...... now"

"I know what's going on." Conelia Road.

"Also, it's been half a day since the incident, and the word should have spread in the city."

"No, I mean I received an oracle from the Goddess, and I knew early on that this tragedy was going to happen, and I warned Your Majesty just last night, and I warned him again this morning before the joust began, but unfortunately he refused to take my word for it."

"Of course, it's not surprising that this kind of thing will happen." Conelia continued, "The believers are like that, we are like lambs, the goddess tells us not to go to the edge of the cliff to graze, but from time to time we forget her warnings. ”

"Wait, I don't understand, you said you had a hunch that this was going to happen?" Duren's mouth opened wide.

"That's right, and in order to convince His Majesty, I also verified it for him personally, I ...... Got into the head of Count Crane and read his memories.

"But even so, His Majesty still refuses to believe the facts in front of him, and I must admit that I underestimated his trust in his family, especially his own bloodline."

"What exactly are you talking about?" Duren's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You know what I'm talking about, Sir Duran, because you've got doubts in your heart, haven't you?"

"You are afraid of this possibility, and you force yourself not to think about it. You're right, you shouldn't look any further. ”

The Captain of the Kingsguard felt a creep, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

After that, as if after a fierce struggle in his heart, he said again, "Do you have evidence?" ”

"Does it matter? I know you're a great martial artist, Sir Duran, but this is a battle you are not destined to win, and there is no need to make fearless sacrifices. ”

"I am the Chief of the Guard, and it is my duty to protect Your Majesty, and I have not been able to fulfill this only duty, but I can at least make the truth public, even if at the cost of my life.

"But the problem is that Vallia also teaches us that our lives are not just for us."

The priestess said, "You have also seen the winged fellow, the lady lord of the House of Arias is not lying, the storm is coming, Sir Durham, I have consulted the great Vallia."

"The goddess warns me that this time the enemy is stronger than we imagined, and that in order to achieve ultimate victory, everyone must contribute their own strength, rather than die in meaningless political struggles."

"Meaningless?!" Duren lowered his voice and said, "If my guess is true, add ...... The man had murdered his father with his own hands, and the ministers were going to carry a father-killer to the throne. ”

"No, whether you want to be willing or not, all this is a foregone conclusion."

"How could it be, he won't be crowned until two days later, as long as we reveal the truth before then, we can let the imperial ministers elect a new emperor."

"Why?" The priestess asked rhetorically.

"Why?"

"Why would the Imperial Ministers listen to you? Garth was appointed heir by Edward II at an early age, sat in the Imperial Council, and later took his father's place in government.

"He has a good relationship with the Imperial Ministers, and the Imperial Ministers like him very much, and they don't want to accept another emperor at such a time."

"Even if Garth killed his own father?" The captain of the Kingsguard raised his voice a little.

"You're not a politician, so let's stop here, it's not good for anyone to look into it."

"Is that what you're trying to say to me when you brought me here? Let me listen to the hands. ”

"That's right, I'm saving you."

"But I don't need anyone to save me." The captain shook his head, then looked into the priestess's eyes and pleaded.

"You should know how much Your Majesty trusts you and worships the gods behind you, he has offended people a lot for you in the past two years, and even received a lot of infamy for it."

"And I also let him see his heart clearly, become less confused, and I warned him before he was in danger, more than once."

"But there's so much more you can do, can't you?" Durham continued, "You and your sect have great influence in the royal capital, both among the nobles and commoners.

"If you can use this influence to help me, we can uncover the truth of the matter together, and even if the Imperial Ministers try to protect Garth, they won't be able to do so. Most importantly, we can also repay Your Majesty's kindness. ”

The eyes of the chief of the imperial guard were full of anticipation.

The priestess sighed and repeated, "You are not a politician, Sir Durham, politicians are not emotional, they need to keep their heads above water at all times and do what is good for themselves and the overall situation. But ......"

"You have indeed convinced me that Edward II is my sovereign, my friend, and if you really need me, I can testify for you, but you need to find more evidence first." ”

Durham was overjoyed, "Of course, there are still two days before Garth's coronation, and I will continue to investigate." ”

"Then I'll wait for your good news." The priestess said.

After separating from Cornelia, the Chief of the Imperial Guard decided to adjust his previous plan a little.

Don't go to King's Landing for now, as it's likely to scare you.

Although Duren's desire to capture the Assassin was very strong, he also knew how difficult it was to accuse the future Emperor of the Empire, especially if the latter had the support of the Imperial Council.

He is in a very dangerous situation now and must be careful at all times.

Duren plans to meet Wade again, the drinker who is being held in the garrison cell, and this time Duren will focus on asking Wade if he has been doing anything unusual on Garth's side these days.

It's a pity that the birdman named Morn has already been killed by Yin Leia, otherwise he might be able to find a breakthrough from him and find evidence of Garth's collusion with the aliens.

However, the chief of the guard only regretted it slightly, and soon returned to work, he still had a lot of work to do, and he had to complete all the investigations before Garth's coronation.
