Louis V's verdict on the Third Prince fell silent in the hall.

No one would have imagined that His Majesty the King would be so decisive.

Charlotte was also somewhat surprised.

Before the Central Committee meeting, she had also speculated many times about what the outcome of the trial of the third prince would be.

Although Charlotte felt that the death of the third prince was not a pity, combined with the known history of Miria, she always believed that the king's punishment for the third prince was at most to deprive or seal the power of the bloodline, and then exile.

But I really didn't expect it to be a direct execution.

Miria's aristocratic system is still quite strict, and the status of the royal family is higher than that of other nobles, even if the greatest crime is committed, the internal judgment will hardly directly sentence the death penalty.

Throughout the history of the mainland, it cannot be said that there are no executions at all, but they are often carried out in private, announcing the death of illness and the like, and preserving the last dignity of the royal family and related members.

Rather than directly announcing it as it is today.

Charlotte couldn't help but glance at the high platform, the old king was still expressionless, his black pupils were indifferent, as if it was not his own child who pronounced the sentence.

Charlotte didn't know if Louis V was also angry with the three princes, or if he was really selfless.

The only thing that is certain is that this king, known as the "Great One", is decisive and ruthless enough.

After all...... The third prince, Philippe, was Louis V's favorite child until a few months and a strong contender for the throne.

And a few months later, he was personally sent to the gallows by his father.

"The verdict is above, do you colleagues have any objections to this?"

Duke Moongo's voice rang out again, breaking the silence of the venue.

The nobles looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

The third prince is indeed extremely evil, and many evil things are challenging the limits of the nobles, but at this moment, they are really sentenced to death, and they don't know what to say.

Only the tenth seat of the Violet Duke Hubert de Bouart-Lint hesitated.

Obviously, the old duke, who had given up his grandson in the Boulder-Castel War, was a little unbearable after hearing the death verdict at this moment.

I saw him sigh and get up from his seat tremblingly.

For a while, the eyes of all the nobles were focused on him.

"Your Majesty, Philip is indeed guilty of great crimes, but he ...... After all, he is a direct member of the Varva family, and after all, he is ...... Your son. ”

The old duke bowed to Louis V and said in an astringent voice.

Louis V looked at him indifferently:

"He is indeed my favorite son, but he is also the third prince of the new moon, and the noblest nobleman of the new moon."

"Power and duty are equal, the identity of a nobleman is not the capital to do anything wrong, colluding with the Blood Demon Sect is a taboo in our country, not to mention that he has committed so many unforgivable crimes!"

"If you make a mistake, you have to bear the corresponding price."

"No matter what...... Who is he. ”

Facing Louis V's deep and decisive gaze, the Duke of Violet opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh:

"Obey your royal commands."

With that, he sat down tremblingly.

Louis V's gaze swept to the audience, and his majestic voice echoed through the hall:

"Do you still have any objections to this central meeting?"

Be quiet.

No nobles stood up again to raise objections.

Even the nobles who were indignant and had intended to protest against the punishment of the "Great Purge" after the trial of the three princes at the council......

Joke, the king is even going to hang the prince, and can he spare the nobles who colluded with the Blood Demon Order in the "Great Purge"?

If you don't kill people, you're already on the open side!

The nobles were not fools, and of course they heard the pun in the king's words.

At this moment, Louis V has already responded to the nobles in advance with his actions with his attitude!

"Since there is no objection, let it be so decided, the time of execution is set at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and the execution will not be made public, and the royal cabinet and the dukes will witness it."

Louis V said indifferently.

After all, he left the last dignity for the third prince, or perhaps because he saw the face of the royal family, he did not choose to be executed publicly.

But with the dukes and cabinets of the kingdom, they can be regarded as witnesses.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions?"

Louis V looked again at the dukes in the first row.

In today's cabinet, half of the Great Purge has been changed, and the rest are all dukes, so the dukes in the first row also include the cabinet......

After listening to the king's words, the dukes looked at each other, and no one had any doubts.

Louis V's eyes finally fell on Eleanor again.

His indifferent and majestic gaze softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"As for all the property of the third prince...... All of them belong to Pol Deqing as compensation for his crimes. ”

Eleanor paused and bowed slightly:

"Your Majesty Xie is considerate ......"

Louis V waved his hand lightly and stood up from his seat.

"Break up."

He said.

After speaking, he left the venue with the High Priest of the Crescent Moon, surrounded by the royal knights.

And it was not until the breath of the king and the high priest completely disappeared that the quiet hall was in turmoil again.

The aristocrats looked at each other and soon fell into a heated discussion:

"Hanging! It turned out to be hanging! I really didn't expect His Majesty to sentence the third prince to hanging! ”

"I should be angry, although Princess Margaret came from a humble background, His Majesty seems to like her a lot......"

"I thought the trial would last for days... I didn't expect the results to come so quickly. Hey, the meeting ended so quickly, and in the end, I couldn't raise any objection to the 'Great Purge' to His Majesty......"

"Humph! Regret it again at this time? Why didn't you mention it when Your Majesty was there just now? ”

"Who dared to mention it just now! They were all suppressed by the verdict, and besides, the princes were dealt with so harshly, what about the nobles? ”

"Alas......"

“……”

The nobles were talking as they packed up their things and left the table.

Listening to their conversation, Charlotte also sighed to herself.

Maybe...... This was the effect that Louis V wanted.

She greeted several nobles who knew each other well, and also got up and left the venue.

……

This meeting was thunderous and rainy.

A trial that was thought to be likely to last several days or even more than ten days ended in less than a day.

It was time for dinner after the meeting, and lunch was prepared in the council chamber, but most of the nobles were useless and went back in their own carriages.

Charlotte did the same, but before leaving, she verbally agreed with the Duke of the Moon Protector to attend the other party's salon a few days later, and the Duke of the Moon Protector said that he would send someone to Charlotte to send a formal invitation letter soon after.

After rounding out with Sebas and others outside the venue, Charlotte also informed her followers about the meeting.

"It seems that His Majesty the King is determined to strengthen the centralization of power."

Sebas touched his chin and said.

Charlotte bowed slightly, deeply convinced.

It's also interesting to say, originally as one of the fuses of this Central Committee, she was still the protagonist, but she became a spectator from beginning to end.

But Charlotte is also happy, just so that she can keep a low profile and not attract attention.

Today's verdict will soon spread throughout the royal capital and then throughout the kingdom.

But that's not about Charlotte.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day after the trial of the third prince.

At noon, Charlotte heard the news of the execution in the palace, and it is said that the third prince cried and cried during the execution, and urinated his pants, losing the face of the royal family.

But in any case, Philippe de Valva, the third prince of the crescent, died of his own stupidity and sin.

Charlotte can be regarded as understanding a matter of her heart.

And after the afternoon, Charlotte's leased estate finally welcomed new guests.

However, it was not the attendant of the Duke of the Moon Protector who presented the invitation to the salon.

Rather, it is a royal knight from the Crescent King's Palace.

The royal knight brought the king's order.

Louis V...... Call her.
