The dormitory was silent for a moment, and even Edward didn't say a word. Just waiting for the king's next sentence.

"As you know, I have only two princes! Prince Freud was of high character and loved by the people...... "King William was not yet finished.

"Father, my son, I got the news that Freud's brother had been killed. Edward cried.

"When......" King William was silent for a while.

"Two days ago, the child was afraid to talk to you about it. This is something that Archbishop Richard of Light can testify to. Edward said, his eyes looking at the archbishop of Arthur's Bright Church on the side.

I saw Richard hold his left chest and salute, saying, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." His Royal Highness Freud was on his way to a date outside the city. On the way, he was assassinated by an Assassin. The Assassin happened to be hiding in the Cathedral of Light, and was then captured by our Cultists, and upon interrogation, it was found that the Assassin killed His Highness Freud for the murder of Love......"

When everyone in the dormitory heard the news, they immediately began to talk about it. After all, the king only had two sons, and one died, so the only heir was Prince Edward. Only Chloe, disguised as a maid, burst into tears when she heard the news. But fortunately, she was standing behind the king and was blocked by the king, so that Edward did not find out.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of my lord, I would like to mourn for you, but yesterday His Majesty the Pope also sent a decree that in order to avoid future civil war in Charlemagne, you should arrange the heir as soon as possible. The archbishop said.

King William nodded politely, and then said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern." However, it is better for the archbishop and the pope to say that we Charlemagne's own affairs, we are better off making our own decisions. ”

The character of the people in Shannan has always been more yearning for freedom and freedom. For a long time, the belief rate of the Cult of the Illuminati was not high. For many years, this place has been a sore foot in the Cult of the Illuminati. The Holy See of Light is still able to have its own archbishop in Arthur, which means that there are at least several dioceses in Charlemagne. In some countries in Shannan, there is not even a single official church of the Illuminati.

"Your Majesty, having said that, the question of the prince is a big problem. The archbishop replied awkwardly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we also believe that the Prince is the most important thing no matter what. Now it seems that the only heir to the throne is Prince Edward. At this time, many ministers stood up and expressed their attitude.

King William looked at it, and even the ministers who had been opposed to Edward began to stop talking.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem, ahem, ahem...... "King William suddenly coughed violently.

Seeing that the king's condition seemed to be getting worse, the people hurriedly did not dare to speak too loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Edward is indeed my only child now. King William paused at this point. Edward's face was overjoyed when he heard this. It seems that he is really preparing to be the king this time.

"However, I have other candidates for the heir. When I died, the throne passed to me...... Nephew...... Billy Johnson Charlemagne. William finished slowly.

"What? Who's Billy?" said Edward, jumping to his feet. This was a big surprise to him.

Edward had long forgotten that he had a cousin named Billy. After all, Edward was still an infant child.

Among the ministers, there was someone who vaguely remembered the name, and it was the prince of the previous king. He was also the first in line to the throne at that time.

"Edward, do you remember that you had a cousin Billy?" said King William weakly.

Edward thought about it before he remembered.

"Father, didn't that Billy die in the underground prison a long time ago?" said Edward.

"No, I let him go. He is, after all, the blood of our royal family. I robbed him of his father's throne, and now I have decided to return it to him. William said, suddenly sitting up to himself. Then the maid beside him helped him to his feet. At this moment, King William changed his declining momentum just now.

"Father, this ...... It's not fair!" cried Edward.

"There's nothing unfair about it, it's just that you don't deserve this crown. William said, pointing to the crown he didn't wear on his head.

"Billy, come out. King William said to the guards behind him.

Edward saw that it was the man who had cut the rope of the wooden door with a knife. That man turned out to be Billy Johnson. Your own missing cousin?

"You're not dead?" said Edward, in amazement.

"Yes, Your Highness Edward. None of us died. At this point, Pete stepped forward.

Only then did Edward take a closer look at the guards behind the king. The man directly behind the king turned out to be Chloe.

"Edward, you may be curious how we got out. Speaking of which, I'm revisiting the same place this time. Johnson said, stepping forward. The maid on the side of him held King William's arm.

William patted Johnson's hand lightly with his hand, "Child, you have been wronged all these years. ”

"Uncle William, don't talk about that. Johnson replied.

"Come on, these people are assassins!" Edward hurriedly shouted. Immediately behind him, Messi, the captain of the Kings' guard, rushed in with several guards armed with weapons.

Messi had just stepped into the door when he suddenly felt that his body could not move. I saw that the beautiful maid just now didn't know when to release the magic. Trapped his hands and feet. After a while, people were disarmed.

This maid turned out to be a water magician. It's just that Wren and the others naturally know how quickly Lizhu followed Krug to learn water magic, and Krug couldn't believe it at all, Lizhu's water magic talent simply crushed all the creatures before. Her water elemental affinity has reached terrifying levels. In just two days, he has learned all the spells up to the middle level.

"The king has an order, and the rest of the King's Guard will not be held accountable, only the captain of the guard, Messi, will be held responsible. Johnson said, and the rest of the guards quickly knelt on the ground.

"Edward, you sent someone to assassinate Floyd, and you took charge of the King's Guard. Do you plead guilty to all of this?" asked King William.

"I ...... I'm not guilty, my father killed your brother to ascend the throne back then. Why can you, but I can't? Growing up, Freud was better than me in everything, even the beautiful daughter of the Trist family in Tia City, you promised him to be married. Why! So I'm going to fight for it. I just did what I was supposed to do as a prince. Hahahahaha!" Edward laughed loudly.

"You're wrong. Edward, I've always been the best for you. Sigmund Freud already had a lover of his own, but I had to go to Tia City to get engaged to someone he didn't love for the sake of the kingdom. As for being king, it's actually not a good thing. I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't help it. For your own good, I decided to make Floyd the crown prince. William said sadly.

"But I didn't expect you...... He would have killed Freud himself......" King William began to weep. The pain of losing a child in old age is, after all, very uncomfortable.

"By my command, Prince Edward, from this day onwards, deprive the prince of his title and imprison him for life in Arthur's Tower. "King William gave the final order.

"Captain Messi of the King's Guard, stripped of his title and official position, and sent to Arthur's Supreme Court for trial. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the crowd.

"You all go down, I have something to talk to Billy...... cough cough. William began to cough again.
