Chapter 504 The truth is always cruel

Inside the palace, six palace guards protected Emperor Bradley and Queen Astrid in the inner circle. They stood in six directions, facing outwards with their hands on swords, the tips of their swords inserted into the floor, and the rays of light extending from them formed a group of six-pointed stars.

There were also two guards standing beside Irina, all facing inward. As long as the person being protected made the slightest movement, they would kill him without hesitation.

The sounds of fighting continued to come from outside.

Queen Astrid was fidgeting and extremely anxious, while Emperor Bradley slowly calmed down.

"Take Councillor Irina to safety."

The guards took Irina out of the room.

Bradley the Great asked, "Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

"Explain?" Queen Astrid: "What to explain? The most important thing now is to rescue Leon."

"The palace's best guards have already gone. But I can't understand why this attack happened in your chambers."

Astrid was clearly panicking: "How should I know?"

"Aestried, you accompanied me through the most difficult time of my life, so I trusted you the most. I thought you were the purest flower because you were so innocent and kind, and you would never do anything to hurt me. But I seem to be wrong..."

Astrid became even more flustered: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about?"

"The power coming from the direction of your bedroom is the power of golden blood. That aura is so familiar! Terenas told me that Duke Claulund is going to use the tungsten needles in his hand to make a deal with the executioner. When all the tungsten needles are gathered together, some truths will be revealed.

Although Duke Claulund's approach is somewhat risky, I am willing to take the risk for the truth.

Astrid, this is your last chance! For Blemero, for Leon, tell me what you know."

"I..." Astrid sat weakly in the chair: "After marrying you, the life I imagined and the real life are completely different."

Emperor Bradley waved his hand, and all the guards left the room.

The door is closed.

Astrid continued to speak in a daze: "Because I am a commoner, countless eyes stare at me and countless mouths talk about me. They say that I forced the former queen to death and my blood tainted the noble golden blood. I thought I married for love, but what I got was a cage.

Aleister found me that day. He suspected that his mother did not commit suicide as you said. I also wanted to know the truth about the death of the former queen, so we secretly investigated together.

I have to say that you and your son are really alike. You fell in love with me and he fell in love with me too.

And so Leon was born!"

Bradley didn't expect the truth to be so cruel. Veins popped out on his forehead, but he rationally suppressed his anger: "Leon is not my son!"

Astrid smiled bitterly, "I thought I could hide it, but I didn't expect that when Leon's bloodline awakened, it was actually the mighty bloodline. That's when I learned that Aleister possessed a rare double bloodline, but it was a pity that Leon didn't inherit the golden blood."

"Why did you kill Aleister?"

"I, I didn't kill him on purpose." Astrid was in great pain, tears rolling down her eyes: "The torturers found me, they found out about me and Aleister, and said they could suppress Leon's mighty bloodline and obtain the golden bloodline. They did suppress the mighty bloodline, and I believed them. They also said: In order for Leon to obtain the golden bloodline, he needs to extract a little power from his father's bloodline.

I didn't know what kind of people the torturers were at the time. They said that extracting a little blood power would not hurt Areister. I was so panicked that I couldn't think, so I exchanged it for the gold that Areister used for training.

......"

Astrid did not continue.

Bradley closed his eyes. He already knew what was going to happen next.

With Aresta dead, the queen was naturally completely controlled by the prisoner. Although she never took the initiative to ask about palace affairs, she could make the prisoner make targeted strategies by simply telling him what she heard and saw.

No wonder the empire is infiltrated like a sieve by the torturers!

"What happened in your chambers?"

"I don't know. The prisoner candidate Deep Blue said that when he gets the complete golden bloodline, he will transfer it to Leon. Leon is... the son of Aleister, who can maximize the power of this bloodline.

He will win your favor and become the crown prince of the empire.

Maybe they can't wait to perform a blood transfer on Leon now that they have obtained the complete golden bloodline. The eunuch Pierre is their man."

"The prisoner also asked you to push for the marriage with Tomorrow Group, right?"

Astrid, who had already revealed her biggest secret, did not hide anything on this matter: "Yes! The prisoner wants to kidnap Irina's son and force the Tomorrow Group to hand over the fourth-generation mechanical transformation technology."

"Ah..." Emperor Bradley sighed deeply, and after a while he said weakly, "Sometimes I feel that being an emperor is too tiring! Too tiring!"

Astrid knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I will take all the blame. Leon is innocent. You must save him!"

Bradley lifted Astrid's head and looked at her face. "Bringing you into the palace was the biggest mistake I made. Go, go to a place where I can't find you, and start a new life with a new name. I will do my best to rescue Leon, but I can't let you take him away regardless of life or death."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"His Majesty!"

"This is the greatest punishment I can give you, but it is also the greatest protection I can give you. Go away, I'm not sure if I will change my decision in the next moment."

"Thank you, thank you."

Astrid got up and staggered out of the room.

King Bradley sat there alone, looking even older.

"Somebody come!"

An eunuch pushed the door open and walked in: "Your Majesty."

"Have Terenas and Duke Claulund arrived?"

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Excellency the Duke have already entered the palace. Since they were not summoned by you, they led the team to the Queen's bedroom first."

"Tell them to do their best to rescue Prince Lyon. After rescuing Prince Lyon... have Duke Claulund take him to his manor. They are not allowed to leave without my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Remove Princess Blamelo from all her duties and have her live in the Royal Academy. She is not allowed to leave the academy without my permission."

The eunuch was surprised, but he quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"National obituary: Queen Astrid was assassinated by her torturer... dead!"

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch was very frightened, but after feeling Bradley's murderous eyes, he immediately said: "I, I will go to the Telegraph Office immediately to announce the obituary..."

"Go!" Emperor Bradley waved his hand. "After Terenas and Duke Claulund eliminate the attacking torturers, come here to see me immediately."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch retreated in a panic.
