The Original Vampire - Chapter 678
Time goes back a day.
When Cardinal Mensay returned to Yulongcheng, it was already dark.
There are no pedestrians on the street, and only the occasional guard patrolling.
Mensay lifted the curtain and instructed the driver:
“Go to the Phoenix Palace first.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The carriage immediately changed its course and entered the Phoenix Palace all the way.
Mensay got off the carriage, and after a briefing, he was led by his attendants to Prince Harrison’s bedroom.
After entering the door, Mensay found that Prince Harrison’s eyes were red, and he should have just cried.
Mensay knew that this was because the news of Emperor Reinhardt’s death had reached Royal Dragon City.
“His Royal Highness Harrison, did you not disturb your rest?”
“No.” Prince Harrison calmed down and asked in a deep voice, “Cardinal Mensay, did you just come back from the front?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Where is the father’s remains? How long will it take to return to Yulong City?”
“His Majesty’s body should currently be in Dongquan Town, and it is estimated that it will arrive at Yulong City in three to five days.”
Prince Harrison nodded and said:
“Okay, Cardinal Mensay, what do you have to do with me so late?”
Mensay’s face struggled for a while, he hesitated for a while, and then said solemnly:
“His Royal Highness, there is something… I struggled for a long time, after all, I couldn’t escape the condemnation of my inner conscience, so I want to confess to you…”
Prince Harrison looked at the ashamed Cardinal Mensay, suddenly realized something, and immediately said:
“Is it about my uncle, Marquis Garcia? Is he really in the hands of the church?”
Mensay sighed and nodded silently.
Prince Harrison hurried forward a few steps and hurriedly asked:
“How is he doing now, uncle? Why did your church detain him!”
Mensay bowed his body, as if he did not dare to face the prince’s eyes, and said in a difficult tone:
“His Royal Highness, Marquis Garcia… is dead…”
“What!” Prince Harrison’s expression changed greatly, “Who did it?”
“Yes… Your Majesty Gregory…”
“Why!” Prince Harrison asked angrily, but then he asked himself, “Did he start to be afraid when he saw that the North dominated the Loire Valley this time?”
Mensay nodded.
Prince Harrison waved his arms like an angry little lion: “Gregory, is he crazy! Killing a marquis, an imperial hero in the Cathedral of the Holy Light! Isn’t he worried about retribution from the North! ”
Mensay raised his head and said gloomily:
“Yes, Gregory is very worried, so, he will continue to attack the North until this threat is completely eliminated…”
“What other conspiracy does he have?” Prince Harrison asked, staring.
“Gregory has united Prince Leahy and Archon Fred. They have secretly detained Count Angele in East Spring Town, and are going to send him to Royal Dragon City for trial…”
“Judgment?” Prince Harrison almost jumped up in anger, “Teacher, he is now the hero who commanded the defeat of the orcs, why did Gregory judge him!”
Mensay sighed and said:
“His Royal Highness, the Pope, as the spokesperson of the gods in the world, he really wants to fabricate a crime for a person, how difficult is it…”
“Ridiculous! Blasphemy! It’s shameful!” Prince Harrison was so angry that he circled back and forth in the hall, his red eyes as if he was going to devour someone, “and Prince Leahy and Archon Fred, who are also with Gregory. Collusion?”
“Yes, Your Highness. Prince Leahy and Archon Fred also believe that the forces in the north are too powerful now and are a threat to the royal family…”
“Shit!” Prince Harrison yelled, “Count Angele is my teacher, Marquis Garcia is my uncle, how could they threaten me!
I got it, I got it!
Leahy and Fred are worried that the North will threaten their own power!
No, not only that!
Leahy is afraid that he wants to take back the power that belongs to him!
He wants to eliminate the forces that support me, and then treat me as a puppet and become the real master of the empire, right! ”
Mensay lowered his head and did not speak.
Heart is secretly proud.
Prince Harrison is more deceitful than he thought, and it is inconvenient for him to say many things, but Prince Harrison himself can make up his mind so much…
After venting for a while, Prince Harrison forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice:
“Cardinal Mensay, you say, what should I do to save the teacher?”
Mensay sighed and said helplessly:
“His Royal Highness, I advise you not to be impulsive. This time Prince Leahy and Archon Fred have managed to win over the southern border and the eastern border. Coupled with the power of the church, you can’t fight…”
“Then I’ll just sit back and wait?” Prince Harrison roared angrily, “San Lorenzo will never back down!”
Mensay seemed to be infected by Prince Harrison’s fighting spirit, and finally said:
“His Royal Highness, the most important thing right now is not to let Gregory wantonly smear Count Angele in the name of my lord.”
“Then how to stop Gregory?”
Mensay looked up at Prince Harrison and said solemnly:
“His Royal Highness, Gregory has killed Marquis Garcia, and he has nowhere to go, so there is only one way to stop him—
Assassination! ”
“How?” Prince Harrison asked immediately, as if they were talking about the execution of a criminal, not the assassination of a pope.
Mensay’s eyes flashed and he said:
“His Royal Highness, in fact, it is not difficult to assassinate Gregory. He doesn’t have much combat power. As long as he can call up the Templars who guard him and kill him when he is not prepared, it is not much to kill an ordinary old man. The difference. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
but…”
“but what?”
“But he is the Pope after all. It is not difficult to kill him. What is difficult is that after killing him, who will take the responsibility…”
Prince Harrison understood what Mensay meant, his breathing became heavier, and finally his eyes became firm:
“I come!”
“Your Highness…”
“No need to persuade.” Prince Harrison said coldly, “As a San Lorenzo, this is my responsibility!
I only hope that after you take over the position of Pope, you can work with the teacher to help Judy well. ”
Harrison is very clear that if he kills a Pope outright, he will not be able to succeed the throne again, and the next heir will naturally be Princess Judy.
Mensay bowed solemnly and said:
“Your Highness Harrison, please rest assured! I will do my best to save your life. I will also crown Princess Judy and make her the new master of the empire!”
…
Time goes back to the present.
When Cardinal Mensay led people into the palace of the Phoenix Palace, he saw the Pope who had lost his breath and Prince Harrison, who was covered in blood.
“Your Highness…”
Prince Harrison took a deep look at Mensay, then said nothing, just walked outside the hall with a blank expression, and opened his hands as if to embrace the bright sun.
In the shadows behind him, Mensay took advantage of the opportunity to lean over to examine Gregory’s body, and quietly picked up the golden horn.
