Chapter 100: The Scapegoat

At the same time that Gibran met with Colin, the eldest princess, Jima, was also invited to Empress Athena's bedchamber.

Pushing back the rest of the palace, Empress Athena took Jima to sit down beside her, in a rare move. In Jima's impression, she hadn't been so intimate with her mother for a long time, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"A few days ago, I asked you to contact Camila, have you talked to her?" Athena asked with a secret sigh in her heart when she saw Jima's unnatural appearance.

Hima and Athena are very similar, not only in appearance, but also in personality, habits, and even shortcomings, they are very close. They sit together more like sisters than mother and daughter! Probably for this reason, they don't like each other very much, and they are far less intimate than others think.

It's just that Jima herself doesn't quite understand that she will unconditionally obey her mother's various arrangements for her, including even letting her marry the most famous playboy in Khor Fakan!

Hima didn't have a chance to refuse, and Heller had personally confirmed the matter to her. I believe that no father would want his daughter to marry a big carrot, but Jima just chose to obey because it was her mother's will! Afterwards, Jima recalled this incident countless times, and she felt incredible, but she really couldn't refuse her mother. So is marrying Jaes, and so is contacting Camilla.

"According to Master Camilla, she has contacted the upper echelons of the Cult of Light through secret means and relayed my request. They have agreed to my terms to a limited extent, and they have already sent a mission to Khorfekan to discuss concrete cooperation with me in the near future. ”

"Mother, the Cult of the Illuminati has its own church in Khauerfakan, and we have to contact them through Camilla? What is Camilla's identity in the Cult of the Illuminati, and a figure like Weishenme wants to stay in a slave caravan?"

"Ever since Thomas drove the Archmage of the Cult of Light out of Horfakan, the Cult of Light has not had an important person of the Illuminati level resident here, and no special passage can be opened without such a person. However, transmitting information through ordinary channels is not only too slow, but also easy to leak messages. I don't have that much time to waste!"

"I don't know exactly what Camila's position is in the Cult of the Illuminati, but Gibran told me very clearly that Camila has a very high status in the Cult of the Illuminati and can directly meet the Pope of the Illuminati! ”

"As for whether she will stay in an ordinary caravan, I don't know! Masters like them have a lot of unusual performances, isn't Thomas also a chef!"

"There's no time to waste!, what's wrong with your body?" asked Hima with concern.

Himema's relationship with her mother has never been harmonious, but that doesn't stop them from genuinely caring for each other!

"Don't worry about my body, at least I haven't noticed anything wrong with my body right now!"

"That?"

"From now on, don't ask questions for the time being, listen to me first!" Athena said a little domineeringly, but she suddenly thought that her current approach was a little too strong, and immediately explained:

"Anyway, we won't have too many opportunities to chat like this in the short term, so you should let me do it!"

When Jima heard her mother say these words, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and she didn't say a word, waiting for her mother to continue.

"When you go back, you will pretend to be sick and never see anyone again, especially Colin! When you go back, Gibran will soon be at your house, and you don't ask anything, just trust him!"

"You must remember that no matter how pitiful Colin may be, you should not see him, let alone give him any help!"

"Colin, but I'm my brother!" Although Jima is very flamboyant and domineering outside, she rarely treats her siblings like this, especially to Colin, she loves her very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so much of Colin's notoriety on himself!Hearing her mother say this, Hima said with some incomprehension.

Originally, Jima thought that her mother would reprimand her, but what she didn't expect was that Queen Athena actually sighed in a rare way.

"Because Colin isn't your own brother!"

"What?" Hima stood up in shock, her eyes wide as she looked at her mother, not knowing what else to say.

"Don't be cranky, I never betrayed your father!" Athena said with some displeasure when she saw that Hima was actually looking at her with suspicion.

"What the hell is going on?" said Hima, feeling like she was going crazy.

"Colin is just the son of a peasant woman, and he has nothing to do with our royal family!"

Looking at the stunned Himma, Queen Athena told the ins and outs of the matter.

About twenty years ago, Heller's first child, Jima, was born. At this time, Heller was only a prince, and although he very much wished that his first child could be a boy, when he saw Hima for the first time, he was still fascinated by her lovely smile.

Half a year after Hima's birth, the news of Heller's pregnancy broke out at the same time as the first lady and a concubine, and at the same time, Heller was positioned by the old emperor as the heir to the future throne of the Monlin Empire.

Heller thinks that these two children have brought him good luck, and he has put more of his care into the other two ladies, which inevitably leads to a little colder towards Athena's mother and daughter.

The competitive Athena certainly couldn't accept this reality, and she eventually put it all down to the fact that she had given birth to a girl.

On Tiffany's first birthday, Heller became the true ruler of the Monlin Empire, and he favored Tiffany's mother and son.

Athena couldn't help but be secretly anxious when she saw this, but at this moment, she found out that she was pregnant again, and she was very happy, and she thought that if she could give birth to a boy, maybe she would regain Heller's attention.

But what no one expected was that Athena's baby was actually miscarried, and she was told that she would never conceive a child again.

After getting the news, Athena seemed to be hit by five thunderbolts, and she was completely dumbfounded. Cork, who knows his sister very well, is worried that Athena will do something stupid, and for the sake of Athena, of course, for himself, he came up with an idea - Li Dai Taozhuang!

Almost at the same time that Athena became pregnant, Cork's wife was also pregnant, and Heller hadn't been in Athena's bedchamber for a long time since Athena became pregnant.

Coke's idea is to use these two things to let Athena continue to 'get pregnant'! When Cork's baby is born, let Athena 'ripen'!

This matter is too involved, although Athena is bold, but she does not dare to make decisions about such a thing, after all, it also involves the selection of the future successor of the Monlin Empire.

After some hesitation, Athena found her aunt, and she gave Cork's Jihua all the way.

When the Empress Dowager heard this Jihua just now, she was also taken aback. But then she thought that in this way, the throne of the Menglin Empire would most likely be inherited by a member of her own family, and after a while, she finally nodded and agreed to this jihua.

In order to block the news as much as possible, the imperial doctor who helped Athena see a doctor became the first victim!

But what they didn't expect was that Cork's wife actually died in childbirth, and the adults and children left them.

In desperation, Cork had to choose a couple among his servants who happened to be pregnant and had a child, and Colin was their child. Of course, they also became the second victim of this incident.

Hearing this, Hima was dumbfounded, she didn't understand how her mother, grandmother, and uncle could dare to do such a thing! She looked at her mother in amazement, not knowing what she wanted to tell herself.

"Colin is narrow-minded, cruel and tyrannical, and he has no royal blood at all, we must not make him the future heir of the Monlin Empire!

"Anyone has to admit that you are definitely better than that weak and incompetent Tiffany!, and your father recognizes this, and he knows very well that if this development continues, the future of the Monlin Empire will not belong to us, but most likely to Yule's world. ”

"Are you saying that my father is already ready, and then he is going to reappoint Yul and promote Ralph?" asked the eldest princess, looking at her mother puzzled.

"Your father has discovered Yule's ambitions, but he doesn't want to kill a general like Yule without any reason. Especially in the current situation in Monlin, your father doesn't want any turmoil in the army!"

"My father wanted to use Colin's Liliang to assassinate Yule, did he find out about Colin's background?" asked Hima, who finally understood why her mother had summoned her here, with some concern.

"Probably not! Your father asked me to choose an heir among you, a 'scapegoat'!"

"With Colin's abilities, could he have succeeded in assassinating Yule?" Hima saw her mother's eyes and immediately changed the subject.

"Colin, he's just a puppet on the table, your father already has other plans. Anyway, Yule is dead!" a cold glint flashed in Athena's eyes. Not only was Heller prepared, but she also made corresponding arrangements, she didn't believe that anyone could escape such a pursuit!

"You must remember: you must not do anything, and do not see Colin, I want you to stay out of it completely! Colin will become the 'scapegoat' for the whole incident, and all the charges will be thrown on him!"

"I will also be punished for this, but I have already asked my aunt, and she will continue to take care of you!"

"How could you be punished in any way?" asked Hima, puzzled.

"My titular son killed General Monlin, and of course I can't completely get rid of it. But don't worry too much, I'm going to be fine!"

It was meant to be part of the deal, but Athena didn't want Hima to know about it.

"Mother!" said Hima, a little excited.

"This matter has been decided, don't persuade me anymore!"

"Father is a brilliant politician, don't you worry that he will change his mind then?"

"Are you talking about Tiffany, and he won't end well after this incident!" Athena said with a sneer.

"After this incident, you will be your father's only heir! ”

"Remember, don't trust any of your father's promises, it only makes sense to take power completely into your own hands!"

"How I wish I could see my only daughter stand at the pinnacle of power in the Monlin Empire!" said Athena, in a rare gesture of tenderness, as she stroked Hima's hair.

"Mother, since you care about me so much, then you asked me to marry Jays?" asked Jima after waiting for so many years.

When Empress Athena heard Himima's question, her face froze and she let out a long sigh.

"That was a mistake I made back then!"

"You must have heard of Thomas humiliating the Archmage of the Cult of Light, right?"

Jima didn't know that her mother, Weishenme, had suddenly mentioned something unrelated, but she nodded anyway.

"Everyone thought that this was Thomas looking for a challenge, so he took the initiative to provoke the Cult of Light!"

"Isn't it?"

"Although Thomas is wild and uninhibited, he rarely does anything out of the ordinary, and he certainly does not provoke the powerful Cult of Light for no reason. He did this for the Darkmoon Cult, because he was the shadow protector of the Darkmoon Cult!"

"Shadow Protector, what is that?" The Menglin Empire is the weakest place of the two major divine cults, and they have very little understanding of the two major divine cults.

"In order to achieve or achieve some of their own unsightly goals, the Dark Moon God Cult has recruited some secret cultists through some special means. These people are not so much cultists as a bunch of thugs! they don't need to pray like ordinary believers, or even believe in the teachings of the Cult of the Dark Moon God!"

"They only need to help the Dark Moon God Cult solve some problems in the dark, and they will be supported by the Dark Moon God Cult in abundance and the greatest ability of the Dark Moon God Cult!"

"Although Thomas can be regarded as a genius in terms of martial arts, without the secret support of the Dark Moon God Sect, it would be difficult for him to reach the heights he has today!"

"What does this have to do with me marrying Jaes?"

"Jays comes from the oldest nobles of the Monlin Empire, and their family has an infinite amount of energy in the Monlin Empire. And since he's Thomas's favorite apprentice, just marrying him is sharing all his resources!"

"The most important thing is that I found out that Jays loves you deeply! he does a lot of things for you, including pushing the second prince Kevin into the lake for you!"

"Is that him!?" said Hima, looking at her mother in disbelief.

"I'm tempted to say 'no,' but I'm sorry, I can't cheat on my daughter!"

Heller's second prince is a very mischievous child, and he is the only one of Heller's children who dares to tease Jima. The trap he designed made Himma fall off a ladder almost two people high, and at that time, Himma was not only knocked unconscious, but also left a deep scar on her back, and it was this scar that made Himah never be able to wear that kind of backless dress, which was also a regret for Himma.

After that incident, the second prince fell into the icy lake for unknown reasons. Although the rescue was timely and there was no danger to his life, it was precisely because of that time that he fell into the water that one of the legs of the second prince was seriously injured.

After the second prince recovered from his injuries, he fell into tiptoeing problems. Many people say that the second prince was also withdrawn from the list of competing for the throne because of this, and the throne of the Monlin Empire would never be passed to a cripple!

The second prince has always said that he was pushed into the lake, but everyone thought that this matter was the queen's handiwork, and no one really rushed to investigate the truth.

In fact, Jima always thought that her mother did this, because at that stage, she hadn't woken up yet, and she also thought it was her mother's revenge. She has even been a little disgusted with her mother because of that incident, but she didn't expect that today she found out that the person who pushed the second prince to the lake was actually Jia Aisi!

"Jays was only sixteen years old at the time, but he already liked you, and he was willing to do it for you!"

"Everybody thought I did it, and I did want to teach Kevin a lesson. But it was for this reason that I was curious about who did this, and I repeatedly investigated the cause and effect, and when I came up with this answer, I was also shocked. Then I caught my eye on Jays, and I was finally sure that the person he loved the most was you!"

"From the beginning, he kept attracting those girls just for you, and then he saw that you had been ignoring him since you got married, and he thought of other ways to get your attention. But what the poor kid didn't expect was that all he did was make you hate him more. I never dared to mention this to anyone else in order to protect Jaes, but if I don't say it today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future, I hope my daughter is happy!

When Jima heard her mother's words, she was completely dumbfounded! She didn't doubt her mother's every word, Athena could be said to Jima to be a 'tyrant', a 'power', and even a lot of nasty things, but it was by no means a lie! In Jima's impression, her mother had never told a lie to herself, and she didn't realize that she believed her mother very much until this time!

It was precisely because of these reasons that she felt that everything was so incredible!

Gema never imagined that she was actually the dream girl of the first playboy in Khor Fakkan since childhood! She was completely lost for a moment, she had no idea how she had left the palace!

Jima returned to the eldest princess's mansion in a daze, and saw that Gibran was already waiting there.

"From now on, take one pill a day!" Gibran told Hima to pull away from the people around him, and handed a medicine bottle to her.

"What is this?" asked Hima, not understanding what Gibran was doing this, and she looked at him in amazement.

"You just eat it, and after half an hour, your body's temperature will rise rapidly, and you will look like you are seriously ill!"

"I'm going to do this?"

"I'm here with a message from Colin, but I don't want to tell you about it. That's why I came up with this idea!"

Hearing Gibran say this, Jima suddenly came to her senses.

"You?"

"Don't worry, this pill will only raise your body temperature, and besides that, not only will it not cause you any side effects, but it will also have a strong effect on your body!" Gibran said with a smile as he looked at Hima.

"Won't anyone else find out?"

"Why don't you trust Uncle Gibran?"

"That's not true! I'm just worried that once I get sick, the Imperial Doctor will come and check on me immediately, and if they find anything unusual, don't I want to cover it up?"

"Don't worry about this, no one in the palace has been able to discover the effect of this pill, they will only think that you have a bad cold!"

When Jima heard Gibran say this, she stopped talking nonsense, opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill and threw it into her mouth.

"Uncle Gibran, what should I do next?"

Gibran has always treated Jima like his own daughter, and Jima vaguely feels that Gibran has some special relationship with her mother, but this does not prevent her from believing Gibran.

"Your body temperature will rise rapidly, and then you just need to pretend that you're unconscious!" Gibran looked at Hima and smiled, turning to leave, he had to report the situation to Colin.

After Colin accepted such a big task, the first person who came to mind was Hima. Even if Himah can't give him any substantial help, he wants to hear the advice that Himah has given him. Colin originally wanted to come over to discuss the task given to him by his father and grandmother with Hima, but Gibran stopped him, and Gibran came to the eldest princess's mansion instead of him. Of course, Gibran didn't help Colin get Jima's help, but made a special trip to Jima to bring the pill that allowed her to stay out of the situation!

Gibran is a little strange in Jima's eyes, he looks ordinary at times, but sometimes Jima thinks he is particularly powerful, and few people can give Jima such a feeling.

For this reason, Hima once sent someone to secretly investigate Gibran. But to her surprise, this person, who has the absolute trust of his grandmother and mother, lives an extremely ordinary life, so ordinary that he doesn't even look like a chamberlain.

Hima was eager to find out Gibran's background, but she tried several times without success. Resistance came from all sides, and Zuihou had to give up.

Gibran has a very, very special affection for Gema, and Jima even thinks that Gibran is more like her father many times, which is why she believes in Gibran so much.

Watching Gibran leave, Hima hesitated for a while, and immediately arranged for someone to check her body, the reason was, of course, that her body temperature suddenly increased.
