Chapter 444: Caroline's Guess (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Next, the banquet naturally could not be carried out, and all the nobles were escorted by the eldest prince to the manor where the guests rested!
And Gervais is naturally among them, and the second prince wants the allegiance of several earls and some other great nobles who control the various powers of the Duchy of Alban.
A new viscount like Gervais, and he didn't have a family backing up, he just casually said that he was willing to be loyal to the second prince, and the second prince's eyes left him.
After Gervais was sent back to his room, he lay down on the couch rubbing his temples.
"Gervais, you're back? I thought you were going to be late! ”
Caroline was just resting in the bedroom, when she heard the sound of the living room, walked out of the bedroom in some surprise, and asked Gervais on the sofa.
"Something happened at the banquet, so I'm back!"
When he saw Caroline come out, Gervais was immediately a little distracted, and when she came to his side, he stopped her.
"Little villain!"
Caroline exclaimed, then leaned on Gervais's shoulder.
"What happened at the banquet! The king's dinner was interrupted! ”
After sitting down for a while, Caroline ignored Gervais's groping, but asked a little curiously about the banquet.
The banquet of the nobles, as the heir of the count, Caroline knew best that it could not be interrupted without a major change, because it was a matter of the face of the host.
As for the things that are more important to the nobles than face, the seriousness is self-evident.
Caroline is a scheming woman, so she is quite curious about this aspect.
"There was a usurpation at the banquet!"
When it came to tonight's events, Gervais was a little more serious.
Of course, he was not serious about the affairs of the Duchy of Alban.
It's because of the church, Gervais doesn't know what the church is going to do, so he is so uneasy.
You must know that the church is a behemoth to him now, and the reason why he can be his noble lord leisurely now, and then work hard to grow, is because of the Duchy of Jean as a shield for him.
If the Principality of Jean is gone, then Gervais will definitely be unlucky, at least for now!
"What? How is this possible! ”
Caroline seemed to hear the Arabian Nights, and she was even more surprised.
If Gervais hadn't known in advance that it was the church behind it, Gervais might have been as surprised as Caroline.
"I'm also surprised, but it's true, the second prince Alott killed his brother and put King Hayden under house arrest! Tomorrow he will be crowned king! ”
Gervais said with a wry smile.
After listening to Gervais's words, Caroline frowned and fell into deep thought, and only suddenly said after half a sound.
"Gervais, you think this could be a conspiracy of the Church!"
"Huh? How so? ”
Gervais was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Caroline to guess the church.
"Actually, this is just a guess on my part!"
Caroline saw that Gervais's expression was a little strange, and thought that he was very confused about how to get involved with the church, so she slowly explained.
"The reason why I have this guess is actually related to Chater, the second prince of our Duchy of Jean!"
"The eldest prince Derek and the second prince Charterer have been fighting openly and secretly for several years!"
"Over the years, they have all planted eyeliner around each other! Before the southern expedition, a spy placed by the eldest prince Derek beside the second prince Chatt sent back news that a mysterious stranger had been in contact with the second prince Chatt recently. ”
"Later, the spy sent back the news again, saying that this mysterious person is likely to be from the church!"
"Originally, the eldest prince Derek also wanted the spies to find out what was going on with the second prince Chat, but what I didn't expect was that since the second news was sent back, there has been no news from this spy, as if the world has evaporated."
"Later, the eldest prince activated other spies to continue the conversation, but unfortunately no other anomalies were found!"
"Because there is no evidence, the eldest prince is silent, thinking that if he gets the news again in the future, he can rely on this matter to completely make the second prince lose the trust of King Lawrence!"
"So I guess that the usurpation of the Duchy of Alban this time will not be instigated by the church!"
"It's really possible!"
Hearing Caroline's statement, Gervais first sighed that Caroline's intuition was accurate, and it could be associated with it just by that little thing.
At the same time, I couldn't help but be surprised, the second prince Hunt was left in the Duchy of Jean, if the second prince was also bewitched by the church at this time, then the whole continent would definitely be in chaos.
"Hopefully it's not so coincidental! But when you go back, you have to mention it to the Lord of the North! ”
Gervais felt that things were a little different from those in the Duchy of Jean and Alban.
Because Lawrence, the king of the Duchy of Jean, and the other counts were not plotted, the second prince Chat, even if he wanted to usurp the throne, it was impossible to succeed.
However, since the church has been in contact with the second prince, it has to be guarded against, and the church's demagogic ability Gervais now feels it deeply.
Whether it is Alice's former archse, Rohr, or the second prince of the Duchy of Alban, Alot, didn't they all do these things because of the bewitchment of the church.
Next, Gervais and Caroline continued to talk for a while, and then went back to rest!
Because in the next moment, they heard the sound of shouting and screaming faintly from a distance, which should be the unstable factor in the second prince Alot's cleaning up the palace.
All right! Gervais admits that it's because it feels so good! He wanted to rest early, so he ......
(I don't count how many words were omitted!) )
……
Early the next morning, because it was ...... all night. Well...... He was on high alert, so Gervais yawned when he got up.
Caroline, on the other hand, looked at him with a look of resentment.
"Ahem! Cough! Caroline, the second prince is going to be crowned king today, I'll go first! I'll let the maid come in and serve you later, so you can rest!" ”
With that, Gervais fled out of the bedroom.
The bellflower poison on Caroline's body has not been lifted yet, so Gervais's bravery is a little unbearable, and Gervais knows that he is at a loss, so he is embarrassed to escape.
……
Gervais came to the living room, called the servant, and put the maid in charge of Caroline, while he went out of the room after breakfast.
At this time, there were already a lot of nobles gathered outside the manor, and there was a team of hundreds of guards nearby.
They also vaguely heard the shouts and screams in the middle of the night last night, so these nobles did not look good when they woke up in the morning, and they obviously couldn't sleep.
After the nobles gathered, under the 'escort' of nearly 100 guards, the nobles went to the main hall of the palace, where the second prince Alote would ascend the throne and be crowned king.
