PDLP Chapter 128 The situation is tense
Chapter 128 The situation is tense
The air suddenly became quiet, and the hall fell into deathly silence.
Everyone was looking at Johanna.
Johanna said expressionlessly.
"The Sword of Orchiddale has been sent to reinforce the magic circle of the imperial capital and is not in the palace at the moment."
After hearing this reason, Ronaldo did not pursue it further because it was also valid.
But Brian spoke up.
"We did not receive the Sword of Oran Dell. To be precise, the magic circle of the imperial capital was not reinforced."
Brian's words directly exposed Johanna's lie.
Instantly, all factions looked at Johanna in shock.
If you choose to establish an emperor because you don't have the Sword of Orandel, that would be tantamount to treason...
Many palace guards had already grasped the hilts of their swords.
Leon looked at Caddis in surprise. Caddis shook his head, saying that he didn't know Johanna would be so bold.
Ronald then drew his sword and pointed it directly at Johanna.
"Where is the Sword of Urandel? How did Edward III die?
I seriously suspect that you have something to do with the death of Edward III!"
Johanna panicked instantly after hearing this, but she tried her best to stay calm.
And he looked at the Vatican envoy standing beside him.
The Holy See used his eyes to signal Johanna to bite Leon.
Johanna then spoke up.
"His Majesty passed away last night, and before that only the Grand Duke of Lyon had seen His Majesty!"
When Leon heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
How did it get involved with me?
Before Leon could say anything, the Vatican's envoy spoke.
"The Holy See agrees that Baza will succeed the Emperor of the Holy Empire!"
And these words from the Holy See directly set off the entire audience.
Because this move by the Holy See is tantamount to declaring formal control over the Holy Empire regime.
The nobles of the Vatican immediately followed suit.
The nobles under Brian drew their swords and prepared to go to war with the Vatican.
Ronaldo pointed directly at the Vatican envoy and said.
"Who do you think your Holy See is? This is the Holy Empire! It's not your Papal States!"
The Vatican's envoy straightened his clothes and said with disdain.
"This is the will of the Goddess of Light. At the same time, besides Prince Baza and Prince Will, which other prince has the right to inherit?"
Ronaldo couldn't help but waver when he heard this, but then he looked at Lyon.
"Obviously Duke Lyon can do it too!"
"But Leon is a suspect in the murder of His Majesty!"
The Vatican envoy said with a smile.
"Leon! You still don't plead guilty? Don't you know what you did?"
Johanna is really a good dog of the Holy See. After the Holy See envoy finished speaking, Johanna began to attack Leon frantically.
Leon looked at Johanna who was barking, and then at Brian who was watching the show.
Cadis and Chester stood on Lyon's left and right.
Caddis said quietly.
"Kill him directly, and you will be the emperor?"
Leon twitched his mouth, although Leon wanted to deal with Johanna very much.
But it would be unwise to kill Johanna in the hall.
Leon then spoke.
"I did not murder His Majesty Edward III."
"Then why were you summoned by His Majesty last night?"
Johanna seemed to have watched Leon fall into her trap step by step.
If Leon said that he accepted the Sword of Orlandell, then Johanna could say it.
It was Lyon who took the sword of Orandel and poisoned Edward III.
But what Leon said made everyone confused.
"His Majesty summoned me to the palace to pass on the throne to me."
Leon said calmly.
But the other ministers and nobles were instantly furious.
And the even more exciting ones are yet to come.
"I refused!"
The ministers present, including Johanna, the Vatican's envoy, Ronald and Richard, were all dumbfounded.
Johanna had thought that maybe Leon accepted the Sword of Orandel and became the next emperor.
But Lyon said, I really didn't get the sword from Edward III.
This sword was clearly given to me by Cadis...
"Then how do you prove that you didn't poison His Majesty? And who knows whether you actually took the Sword of Orandel?"
Hearing Johanna's words.
Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Because they also knew that everyone in Edward III's bedroom had been killed.
This is silencing!
After hearing this, Leon finally couldn't help it.
Watching Johanna act like a child playing house.
Everyone knows that Edward III was most likely killed by Johanna.
However, the existence of the Holy See forces them to be cautious.
For this reason, Lyon wanted to take out the Sword of Orandel.
However, Cadis indicated to Leon that now was not the time to take out the Sword of Orandel.
Because taking out this sword in front of the Vatican now is equivalent to directly disrupting the Vatican's plan.
Da Yan is currently fighting on multiple fronts, and it would not be wise to go to war with the Holy See.
Finally, Leon sighed, turned around and left.
Forget it, I’ll go home and accompany Shuangxing (?? _ ??).
Johanna's expression was very interesting as she watched Leon leave like that.
And as Leon left, Brian also said perfunctorily.
"The defense of the imperial capital needs to be urgently deployed. I will take my leave now."
Once there is a first, there will be a second. With Brian's departure, a large number of nobles chose to leave.
Only the nobles from the Vatican and some from the Prince's faction were left.
Johanna was very angry, her heart was filled with anger, and she looked at the Vatican's envoy again.
The Vatican envoy nodded and told Johanna not to worry, the Vatican would deal with Leon.
Then, Johanna raised her eyebrows meaningfully at the Vatican envoy.
The ministers present didn't dare to breathe, even though they could see the abnormal relationship between Johanna and the Vatican's envoy...
As various forces left, tension in the entire imperial capital reached its peak.
Ronald and Richard stationed their troops directly next to the imperial capital.
Brian ordered his soldiers to blockade the imperial capital.
The Lyon army began martial law.
The number of patrols in the city has also increased several times.
According to the Intelligence Bureau.
Basically all the nobles in the capital city of God are actively preparing for war.
My goodness, I’m caught up in a coup!
Despite all the complaints, Lyon still ordered the soldiers to cheer up.
Because there are still many hidden forces in the imperial capital that have not been exposed, Lyon realized that the imperial capital is just as the rumors said.
It's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones...
As all parties were preparing for war, ordinary people in the city also felt the weirdness and murderous intent of the imperial capital.
I returned home consciously and closed the doors and windows...
It was soon night...
As winter approaches, the nights in the Holy Empire are a little cooler and more murderous...
