The Original Vampire

In the quiet and solemn prayer hall, only the deliberately suppressed breathing of everyone could be heard.

  Gregory looked at Fred who was coming out of the crowd expressionlessly, and after a while, he asked: “Mr. Fred, what do you want?”

  Faced with the Pope’s condescending gaze, Fred’s Adam’s apple quickly He scrolled for a while and seemed a little nervous, but soon he adjusted his mentality and said loudly:

  ”Your Majesty, Your Majesty Gregory, I have no intention of offending your authority, but my father’s death is unclear, and I cannot accept that he just died. Such a hasty burial!”

  ”Mr. Fred, I can understand your pain and concerns, but I have personally inspected the body of Archon Lattom before, and I did not find any injuries, and I did not find any signs of poisoning. “

So, your father died at a healthy age!””Your Majesty, my father has always been in good health and was chatting and laughing with us at dinner last night. How could he suddenly die for no reason? There must be something wrong with this!”

Gao Rui’s face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, “Are you questioning my judgment?”

  Fred’s heart suddenly trembled when he saw the Pope’s sharp eyes, and he quickly stammered and explained: “I…I don’t have this. I just want to do another autopsy on my father to confirm the cause of his death.”

  So, you still think there is something wrong with my test results?”Gregory’s tone became colder.

  Fred’s forehead was sweating, and he could hardly bear the Pope’s substantive pressure. He opened his mouth, but could no longer say a complete sentence.

  ”Your Majesty!” At this time, someone suddenly spoke up and helped Fred out. “I think Mr. Fred’s request is reasonable and reasonable, and the autopsy should be carefully examined by Consul Lattom.” His Majesty

  Gregory, turned his eyes and looked at Emperor Reinhardt who was speaking, and said calmly: “Your Majesty, I don’t think this is necessary. If there is something wrong with Lattom’s death, why can’t I find out?” “

  That’s not necessarily true.” Emperor Hart smiled and said, “Don’t you never understand what the poison I have been poisoned by is?”

  Gregory narrowed his eyes and looked at Emperor Reinhardt intently.

  Emperor Reinhard also looked at him without flinching.

  The atmosphere in the prayer hall condensed again.

  Colin looked coldly at the two people confronting each other in the hall, understanding that this was a head-on confrontation between imperial power and divine power.

  But the question is, why was Pope Gregory so insistent on re-examination? Did he just feel that his prestige was damaged?

  Or are you worried that something will really go wrong?

  At the same time, Colin glanced in the direction of Prince Leahy from time to time, only to find that the paladin remained silent from beginning to end as if everything that happened at the scene had nothing to do with him.

  He doesn’t seem to be worried about whether this might be a conspiracy against him.

  Just when the Pope and the Emperor were in a stalemate, Queen Midela came to the rescue with a smile: “Your Majesty, I believe everyone here is very concerned about the cause of the death of Archon Lattom. It’s

  not that we can’t trust you, but there are some things that must be done Only through in-depth research can we get the correct results. After all, you have not dissected the body, and I am afraid you will overlook some key things.”

  Pope Gregory defended coldly: “I don’t want to desecrate the body of Archon Lattom for no reason. “

  Queen Midela said tit for tat: “But what we are more concerned about is the cause of death of Lord Lattom and the dignity and authority of the consuls in the Senate! If someone dares to kill a consul brazenly, then we must not Allow him to get away with it!”

  Fred had recovered at this time and hurriedly said: “Yes, Your Majesty. I also agree to conduct an autopsy on my father’s body, and I believe that if my father is alive in heaven, he will be able to do so. Will agree to do this!

  When he was alive, he valued the responsibilities and authority of the Senate more than his own life!”

  For this reason, Pope Gregory could no longer forcefully veto it.

  Moreover, he also noticed that all the nobles present, especially the members of the Senate, nodded in agreement when Fred spoke.

  Obviously, the nobles present could not tolerate the political order of the empire being so brutally destroyed.

  In desperation, Pope Gregory had no choice but to nod and agree to conduct an autopsy on the body of Consul Lathom.

  Soon, a coroner was recruited into the prayer hall. Facing the burning eyes of so many important figures in the empire, this person was really nervous.

  But soon, he calmed down, took out the tool, and opened Archon Lattom’s chest in full view of everyone.

  Wow!

  Dark red blood suddenly gushed out, startling the coroner.

  It also made everyone present look shocked.

  ”The deceased had hemorrhage in his chest, and the cause of death was… a ruptured heart!” the coroner said carefully.

  ”Wait! Why did father’s heart rupture?” Fred asked loudly.

  Cold sweat broke out on the coroner’s forehead as if he didn’t dare to answer this question.

  Pope Gregory suppressed the shock in his heart and took a few steps forward, but after seeing the exposed broken heart, he could no longer hide the look of disbelief on his face.

  Colin stretched his neck, but could not see what was going on in the coffin, but he knew that the real show had finally begun.

  And just when everyone was wondering what the coroner had found, Queen Midela also took a few steps forward to look at the body in the coffin, and then she also showed a shocked expression.

  It’s just that I don’t know how much of this shock is true or false.

  ”His Royal Highness Prince Lehi, you’d better come and take a look for yourself.” Queen Midela suddenly said to Prince Lehi with a solemn expression.

  Prince Lehi, who had remained silent, seemed to realize that this matter was related to him. There was a bit of confusion on his face, but he followed the instructions and came to the coffin.

  Then, his expression also changed.

  After a long silence, Prince Lehi frowned and said solemnly:

  ”Yes, this is my sword mark.”

  Wow –

  everyone present opened their mouths and looked at Prince Lehi blankly.

  Colin was also confused. How could this paladin be so…frank?

  Are you confident?

  Or don’t you even bother lying?

  But at the same time, he was also a little confused. There were no scars on the body of Consul Lattom. Pope Gregory must have seen this correctly, so why was there a sword mark on his heart?

  What kind of swordsmanship can pierce the heart directly without damaging the skin?

  Perhaps knowing that many people present had the same doubts, Queen Midela said half in explanation and half in questioning:

  ”Prince Lehi, I heard that you have a sword skill called ‘Judgment’, which can transcend the limitations of space. Stab the enemy’s vitals, right?”

  ”Yes.” Prince Leahy’s expression remained indifferent.

  ”Then do you think there is another way to pierce the heart directly without damaging the skin at all?” “

  As far as I know, no.” Prince Leahy said lightly, “You don’t have to beat around the bush, I I can tell you directly that Archon Lattom’s injuries were indeed caused by my ‘judgment’.”

  Buzz –

  Various whispers suddenly rang out in the prayer hall.

  Obviously, no one expected Prince Leahy to admit it so simply.

  But what they didn’t expect was that Prince Lehi actually denied it again: “But I didn’t kill Lattom.”

  This time, the discussion became louder.

  Queen Midela smiled brightly and continued to ask: “Your Highness, since you deny killing Consul Lattom, how do you explain this sword mark?” “

  I can’t explain it.” Prince Lehi’s answer is still so crisp and clear.

  Colin was speechless now.

  Does this prince think that his military power is the best in the world, so he can do whatever he wants?

  Now you don’t even care about such a frame-up?

  But this is a consul of the Senate!

  He is one of several important figures standing at the top of the imperial political arena!

  In particular, Lattom is the patriarch of the San Lorenzo family and the uncle of Prince Lehi!

  Once this charge is confirmed, no matter how powerful Prince Lehi is, he will not be able to avoid the fate of betrayal and separation.

  At this time, the eyes of the nobles in the prayer hall gradually changed, especially the members of the Senate. They could not stand such a person who broke the rules, even if he was a paladin.

  Prince Leahy also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and said belatedly: “I told you, I didn’t kill the person.” He

  was still so domineering and direct.

  But such a sentence alone will certainly not convince the public.

  Queen Midela seemed to want to excuse Prince Leahy, so she asked: “Then, Your Highness, who else do you think can imitate this sword move and leave such sword marks?”

  ”No one.” Prince Leahy, He said decisively, with a proud look on his face.

  The corners of Colin’s mouth twitched and he was almost speechless.

  Should you really be proud at this time?

  Perhaps because he has always been accustomed to using force to solve everything, and is used to the fact that when the name of the Paladin is revealed, everyone regards him as the incarnation of the gods. Prince Lehi has probably forgotten how to deal with cunning conspiracies and frame-ups.

  Maybe he really thought that as a paladin, everything he said should be believed by others.

  But with such irrefutable evidence in front of him, even if Prince Leahy said that he did not kill anyone, would he be able to convince the public?

  Colin glanced around and came up with a negative answer.

  Prince Leahy had the motive to kill, and now that there is irrefutable evidence, he can basically be found guilty.

  Queen Midela said with a smile: “Your Highness, you are putting us in a difficult position. You said that you did not kill anyone, but you also said that no one can cause such wounds except you. This…”

  Pope Gregor Rui said: “Your Highness, the world is full of wonders, how can you be sure that no one can imitate this sword style?” Prince

  Leahy glanced at the Pope indifferently but did not continue, but the look in his eyes revealed But instead of being grateful, he felt that the Pope’s words had tarnished his swordsmanship.

  Emperor Reinhardt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, finally spoke. He said coldly to Prince Leahy: “Uncle, if you can’t prove your innocence, then I have no choice but to convict you.”

  Prince Leahy stared at him. He looked into Emperor Reinhard’s eyes but said nothing.

  Emperor Reinhard’s eyes were deep and he looked at his uncle without fear. At the same time, he pronounced his verdict:

  ”Lexi San Lorenzo, in the name of the Emperor of the Glorious Empire, I hereby deprive you of your title of prince and expel you.” Leave the country!

  Unless you can find out the real culprit, please don’t step into Yulong City again! “

  Prince Lehi faced the emperor’s trial, but his face still showed no expression. He stared at Emperor Reinhard for a long time and remained silent.

  The atmosphere in the prayer hall gradually became stagnant, and everyone felt a terrifying pressure. It shrouded them, making them unable to breathe.

  Colin’s heart was in his throat, fearing that the paladin would be impulsive and kill.

  Time seemed to have stopped.

  It seemed to be an instant, and it seemed to have been a long time.

  When everyone came back again When God came, he found that the proud paladin had disappeared into the prayer hall at some point.

  Colin frowned, obviously not expecting that Prince Lehi would leave without saying a word. Once

  he left, he was almost convicted of murdering Lattom.

  Unless he could find the real murderer.

  But Colin had no hope for this.

  And he couldn’t figure out what the emperor, the queen, and the others were using. How could Lattom die under Prince Leahy’s famous stunt?

  Even Prince Leahy himself admitted that only he could use this sword move.

  So how could he defend it?

  It is estimated that this proud paladin chose to leave suddenly because he was really speechless.

  As a result, Prince Lehi was finally successfully squeezed out of the imperial political arena by Emperor Reinhardt.

  From then on, the Glorious Empire really returned Under the control of this emperor!

  At this time, the voice of Emperor Reinhardt sounded again:

  ”Okay everyone, let us continue to mourn for Archon Lattom. ”
