-79- Shock

The immature voice was full of mockery, resounding in everyone's hearts.

For a moment, the entire ceremony venue fell into an eerie silence.

The people watching the ceremony whispered, and the nobles who had just been admiring on the stage looked at each other.

"Mole ...... Ant? ”

"Thin blood......

"Blasphemy?"

"This ...... Are you talking about His Royal Highness? ”

Whispered chatters gradually resounded in the crowd, and people's eyes were focused on Prince Henry again.

The immature voice was not hidden, and everyone heard it clearly.

Including the self-proclaimed voice just now, and the current mockery of Prince Henry.

There was no doubt that the voice belonged to the summoned Sword of Roman, and Prince Henry, who summoned the Sword of Roman...... It doesn't seem to have been endorsed by the Sword of Romance.

This...... What the hell is going on?

Wasn't the light just now very dazzling?

The expressions of the people were a little puzzled.

Feeling the confused gaze that focused on him, Prince Henry's cold sweat flowed down at once.

Wait a minute...... That doesn't seem right.

Didn't you say that the Sword of Romance wouldn't care about his bloodline?

Moreover, it sounds ......

It doesn't seem like a ten-year-old child!

Prince Henry was shocked, only to feel that today's ritual was faintly out of his control, and the reaction of the Roman Sword was completely different from what was recorded in the ancient books.

You know, although the Book of Romance Contracts hasn't been used for years, it's not the same thing as not using it for years and not using it at all.

The ancestors of the Roman family did not fail to summon in a similar way.

But the situation encountered is not very different from him, but it can also be said to be completely different.

He couldn't help but look at the Duke of Conte on the high platform, and cast a vague look of help at the other party.

However, when he looked over, he found that Duke Kante also had a stunned face, as if he had not expected the current situation.

Prince Henry was numb all at once.

But he knew he had no way out.

Taking a deep breath, Prince Henry once again mustered up the courage to raise his head, looked at the Roman sword that stood out of thin air, he considered his words, and said in a respectful voice:

"Roman-sama, I'...... And I didn't deceive you, it was I who initiated the ritual to wake you up from your slumber! ”

"Now the bloodline of the Roman family is indeed not as good as before, and I must admit that the current strength of our Roman family is indeed not as strong as those famous ancestors in history......"

"But...... But that's why we want to summon you, and we want you to help us regain the glory of our ancestors, as we have contracted! ”

"I have never had a blasphemous heart, I have always been in awe of the great ancestors, and I have never had the idea of blasphemy!"

Listening to Prince Henry's words, the onlookers and the nobles who watched the ceremony were stunned for a moment, and then they all thought thoughtfully.

"Good...... It seems that yes, the Roman family has indeed declined, and the consciousness of so many years has only been a projection of summoning the Roman Sword, but it is the first time in hundreds of years that the Roman Sword has been summoned......"

"Could it be that Lord Roman is dissatisfied with the current decline of the Roman family?"

"So...... If the bloodline is declining, His Majesty the King is the same, so should His Royal Highness not be blamed, right? ”

"Perhaps...... If you explain it clearly, you will be able to gain the forgiveness of the artifact lord. ”

The crowd of onlookers whispered.

Listening to Prince Henry's words, the divine light on the Roman Sword was also slightly stunned, and it seemed that he did not expect him to answer like this.

Seeing the Roman's Sword fall silent, Prince Henry's heart was reassured.

Obviously, although the IQ of the Sword of Romance does not seem to be the same as in the record, it does not seem to be that high.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the childish voice sounded again, with a sneer and anger:

"Humph! Cunning humans, you almost got caught up in it! ”

"Yes, you did start the ritual, but it was the Book of Contracts that succeeded in awakening me!"

"I have always turned a blind eye to the incomplete summons of these Roman descendants such as you, and I have fulfilled the ancient contract, but now you are blaspheming in front of me, which is unforgivable!"

Speaking of this, the sword of romance shone brightly, and the terrifying coercion was released, directly crushing Prince Henry to the ground:

"Humble ants, shameless liars, rampant thieves!"

"You don't really think that the great Lord Roman doesn't know who really activated the Book of Contracts, do you?"

"Say! Blasphemer! Who did you steal the blood you dripped into the Book of Contracts?! ”

The voice of the Roman Sword was incomparably majestic, with a monstrous rage, echoing in everyone's ears.

Hearing the words of the Roman's Sword, the nobles and people who watched the ceremony were stunned.

"Stealing...... Stolen blood? ”

"This ...... Could it be that it wasn't the blood of His Royal Highness that activated the Book of Contracts, so the artifact-sama was so angry? ”

"Dear...... His Royal Highness...... What the hell is going on? Are you really cheating on the ritual? ”

The secret of the contract was revealed on the spot by the Roman Sword, and Prince Henry's expression changed greatly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing his expression, the crowd watching the ceremony was even more convinced of the rebuke of the artifact Roman Sword.

For a while, the nobles who had supported Prince Henry showed disappointment on their faces, and those nobles who were already in the mood to watch the excitement looked at him with mockery and banter.

As for the people of the Principality of Roman, who were watching around, they were already in anger:

"Blasphemy! This is blasphemy! Lord Roman is right! This is a blasphemy against the Romans! ”

"He deceived the ritual! He defiled the glory of Roman! He has blasphemed the ancestral gods! ”

"He doesn't deserve to be Roman's heir! He doesn't deserve to be the heir to the throne! ”

"Depose him! Depose him! ”

The demigod Romanus is a common cultural symbol of the Duchy of Romans and a hero in the eyes of the populace.

Prince Henry, who was exposed to the conspiracy, undoubtedly caused public outrage.

For a while, the people waved their fists and scolded and spat at Prince Henry on the altar.

Looking at the enraged lords and the indifferent nobles, Prince Henry fell into an ice cave.

Finished.

He's done.

He didn't know why the planned ritual had evolved into the way it was, and why the always docile Roman Sword was so furious.

But he knew...... He's done.

Prince Henry looked up and wanted to ask the Duke of Conte on the viewing platform for help, but ...... Duke Kante actually avoided his gaze, and also showed a distressed look.

Prince Henry's eyes widened.

"Hmph, shameless blasphemer, the great Roman Sword has always been merciful! Tell me where your stolen blood came from, and I will forgive you for your offense! ”

The childish voice sounded again, with an unquestioning tone.

Listening to the words of the Roman Sword, the accusations of the nobles and the invective of the people gradually subsided.

Their eyes fell on Prince Henry again, and there was some curiosity in their eyes.

To be able to make the Sword of Romance so angry, obviously...... Activate the existence of the Book of Contracts by someone else.

And if you can directly summon the Roman Sword, it must be a clansman with a higher concentration of blood in the Roman family!

But as we all know, the main branch of the Roman family has long been extinct, whether it is the lilac that now rules the falling star, or the red lilac that is married to the lilac, it is a branch.

And it is impossible to activate the Book of Contracts with a simple branch, and it may still be possible for a Romance descendant like Prince Henry, who strengthened his bloodline after marriage.

But since Prince Henry is not the real activator, it means that his bloodline is probably as problematic as the rumors, then...... Who is the one who really activates the Book of Contracts?

Royal family...... Could it be that he still holds the direct members of the Roman family?

Could it be that the direct members of the Roman family have no heirs?

Maybe the people don't think of so many things, but they are just curious about who really wants to activate the Book of Contracts.

But the nobles of the falling star are all well-informed and active, and they soon think of more things......

Apparently, Prince Henry has been deposed.

After today, his inheritance will certainly not be recognized by the Kingdom Council.

According to the agreement of the two Lilac families, when the current king has no legal heir, he will choose an heir from the Red Lilac family.

But...... What if there were still descendants of the Romans with a more powerful bloodline?

For a while, the eyes of the Falling Star nobles were all focused on Prince Henry, and their expressions became serious.

This is a question worth pondering.

After all, the Red Lilac family is likely to have the support of blood behind them, and it can be regarded as a semi-open secret in aristocratic circles.

Not all nobles in the Falling Star Kingdom are happy to see the Bloodline return to power.

If there really are direct descendants of the Romans who are in exile, it will be an excellent opportunity for the nobles of the opposition.

Obviously, to be hidden or even controlled by the royal family, the strength and power of this direct descendant of the Roman family should still be quite weak.

What could be more surprising than that for the ambitious aristocracy?

If things really go as they guess, they ...... It's perfectly possible to join forces and try to prop up a new king!

And even if they don't succeed, they can use it as a reason to gain more political power in the kingdom!

Meaningful eyes fell on Prince Henry, waiting for his answer.

On the first floor of the square and the small building on the second floor, Duke Yorok's expression also changed slightly, and he subconsciously stood up.

Obviously, he also had this layer in mind.

His expression was unpredictable, and finally he smiled bitterly and said to Jurst on the side:

"Jurst, Lord Castel...... It seems to have a big problem for us. ”

Listening to Duke Joroc's words, Jurst opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

He looked at the divine sword descending on the square, his expression was a little strange and a little hesitant.

The True Ancestor is above......

Could it be ......

Is this what your old man expected?

In front of the altar.

Prince Henry's face was ashen and dejected.

He knew that he was powerless, and he knew that he couldn't hide the truth in front of a completely revived artifact.

It was a real artifact, the same personality as the ancestor Romanus who was a god, even if it was not as powerful as a myth of the same level, it was not something that a mere mortal could deceive.

He opened his mouth, sighed resignedly, and replied dejectedly:

"It's Cass ......"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Just as he was about to say the surname "Castel", a black-red flame suddenly burned on him.

Prince Henry suddenly let out a series of terrible screams.

He didn't have time to continue answering, and his whole body quickly burned in that strange flame, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to ashes......

Seeing this scene, the people were stunned.

The nobles were stunned.

Even the Roman Sword in the air was stunned.

The Duke of Yoroc, who stood up, was stunned, as if he realized something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

After a two-second pause, the crowd in the square screamed in terror.

And the Roman Sword let out a childish roar:

"Ness! You bastards! ”

As he spoke, he saw the silver light of the Excalibur flickering, bursting out with brilliant brilliance, and slashing towards the direction of the church not far away.

The terrifying silver sword light pierced the sky, splitting the clouds like a meteorite falling from the sky, reaching the church and splitting it into pieces.

At the same time, a black shadow flew up in the church, and quickly fled into the distance.

"Stop!"

Roman's Sword was furious.

It turned into a silver rainbow and rose into the sky, chasing after the fleeing black shadow.

This series of shocks only happened in a blink of an eye.

The nobles and populace in the square did not even understand what was really happening.

Duke Yoroc, who was only on the second floor, had an extremely gloomy face, almost gritting his teeth:

"It's Alec's madman!"

"Is he crazy to do it at this time! What nonsense! ”

After that, I saw him throw the goblet in his hand, transform into a black cloak, leap forward, and also turn into a shadow, chasing in the direction of the Roman Sword chase.

And on the viewing platform, Albrecht, disguised as the "Count of Corimo", showed surprise:

"Huh?"

"The breath just now...... Could it be the young Duke of Blood on Luna Island, Alec Ice Ness, and the ...... of the Falling Star Kingdom? Yoroc Ness? ”

"Hehe, interesting...... It's so interesting! Are these two branches of the Ness family lively again? ”

Albrecht smacked his lips with a look of wanting to have fun.

And at this time, a familiar voice sounded in his heart:

"Albrecht, go see what the hell is going on."

It was Charlotte's voice.

Albrecht's heart moved.

He felt that the voice of "His Majesty the True Ancestor" seemed to sound a little tired.

He didn't care to think so much, and replied respectfully in his heart, "Obey your oracle", casually put down the half-eaten VIP slate snacks, and then jumped up in the stunned eyes of the surrounding nobles, and also turned into a black shadow, flying in the direction that Duke Jorok was chasing.

On the square, only the dazed and frightened people remained, not knowing what had happened.

"Just ...... What did Prince Henry say? Was it destroyed? ”

"It seems to be...... Cass? ”

"Cass ......?"

They looked at each other.
