Tome of Blood

This is the first time Charlotte has seen so many nobles from the kingdom.

In the entire venue, there were more than 600 nobles participating in the meeting, all of whom were fief nobles directly under the kingdom and court nobles without fiefdoms.

Charlotte also felt the background of the New Moon Kingdom for the first time.

Of the more than 600 nobles of the kingdom who participated in the conference, all of them were extraordinary, and the weakest were Fanxing. Most of them were in the rank of Yinyue. From the sense of breath alone, there may be more than 70 people in Chiyang.

On top of this, there are three more auras that make Charlotte feel quite dangerous.

That's legendary.

Among them, one legend is the third Duke of Chebwaite, while the other two are a marquis and a court nobleman.

Among the three legends, the Duke of Boit sat on the duke's throne, while the other two legends did not take their seats, but sat on separate seats on one side of the venue.

That is a legendary seat, which also has the seat of the Duke of Boit, but the Duke obviously values ​​his status as a Duke more than his status as a legend.

Charlotte noticed that there were a total of four legendary seats reserved, and one was empty except for the Duke of Boitt. He probably didn't come to the meeting, and it was probably the chief of the New Moon who was rumored to be obsessed with magic research. Mage Engelhardt.

When Louis V and the Priest of the New Moon entered the venue, all the nobles stood up consciously and saluted the two:

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty the Chief Priest..."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty the Chief Priest..."

"..."

Charlotte also moved with the crowd, and at the same time quietly looked at the king on the high platform.

Louis V, King of the Crescent, was a majestic-looking old man.

He was wearing a luxurious royal robe, with a golden crown shining under the crystal lamp, and his curly long gray hair made him look a little more rough and unrestrained.

Although there is an old look between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a sharp light hidden in a pair of black eyes.

When his eyes swept across the venue, everyone quieted down unconsciously, and no one dared to look at him.

I don't know if it was Charlotte's illusion, she felt that Louis V's eyes seemed to pause slightly when he glanced at her, but he continued soon.

"Sit down."

Louis V nodded to everyone.

The king took his seat first, followed by the duke and the legends, and after the duke and the legends sat down, the rest of the nobles took their seats again.

After the sound of chairs moving, the venue was quiet again.

Louis V's eyes swept across the audience again, and the old and majestic voice sounded:

"It's almost time, An Luoqing, let's get started."

Instructed by Louis V, the Duke of Yuehu got up and saluted to accept the order.

He boarded the high platform and sat in the seat belonging to the speaker, with a solemn voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I am the thirty-ninth speaker of the Central Council of the Kingdom, Duke John de Anro, the guardian of the moon."

"This Kingdom Central Meeting is an interim meeting of the Kingdom's eighty-third session. It was proposed by Duke Auror and passed after urgent deliberation by the cabinet."

"The theme of this meeting is the joint trial of the nobles of the third prince of the new moon, His Excellency Philip de Valva. His Excellency Philip de Valva is suspected of colluding with the Blood Demon Sect and blatantly violating the "Holy Code" and the Kingdom's "Royal Contract." , according to Article 18 of Chapter IX of the "Holy Code", the Noble Council has the right to conduct a joint trial and judgment against the Third Prince of the Crescent Moon, Philip de Valva..."

After finishing speaking, Duke Yuehu paused and said:

"Bring up His Excellency Philippe de Valva."

Soon, the heavily armed royal knights brought up the third prince Philip who had been imprisoned with extraordinary power.

This is the second time Charlotte has met the third prince Philip.

Compared with the high-spirited first time, at this moment, he looks much weaker and thinner, and his whole person is also a little bit lost.

His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were a little dull. He didn't recover a little clarity until he passed by Charlotte. Anger burst out in his eyes instantly, and he subconsciously stopped.

"Charlotte... de Castel!"

He almost gritted his teeth.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

However, he ignored him.

"Bring His Excellency Philippe de Valva, this is the Central Council, please be quiet."

Duke Yuehu frowned slightly and said solemnly.

The third prince Philip glared and wanted to say something, but he glanced at Louis V who couldn't see his emotions clearly on the stage, and finally endured it.

Duke Yuehu didn't pay attention to the third prince's venomous gaze at all.

After the other party was forced into the trial seat by the royal knights, he picked up the gavel and knocked on the table:

"The suspects are already in place, so... I now announce that the joint trial of the nobles of the third prince of the New Moon, Philip de Valva... will begin now!"

...

This is the first time Charlotte has participated in the joint trial of the nobles of the New Moon Kingdom.

After announcing the start of the trial, the Duke of Yuehu took out the parchment and read out the criminal evidence about the third prince listed by the noble council.

Seizing the property of nobles, violating the royal contract, colluding with the blood demon cult, overthrowing the kingdom's regime, abusing blood relatives nobles, murdering kingdom vassals, desecrating sacred marriages, buying and selling women and children...

One by one, one by one, the charges are countless, more than Charlotte imagined, and heavier than Charlotte imagined.

The nobles had obviously prepared a wealth of materials. Each charge was accompanied by a large amount of evidence, and there were even witnesses to prove it.

Charlotte thought she'd be asked to testify about something, but it turned out that she didn't even need to end up.

Not only that, some of the evidence prepared by the nobles even made Charlotte click his tongue.

For example, abusing blood-related nobles and murdering kingdom vassals, some nobles even accused that the third prince Philip not only abused his wife, but even abused his half-sister, Princess Margaret of the New Moon Kingdom, and even directly led to the final depression of the other party suicide.

Charlotte was stunned by the sudden melon.

As far as she knew, there was indeed a princess in the New Moon Kingdom, named Margaret, who was only born of a maid and was not valued by the king. She died of illness before she was fourteen years old.

I really didn't expect that there are such secrets!

Although there was no evidence for this accusation to completely kill the third prince, the explosive news was enough to make the nobles in the entire parliament hall discuss a lot.

When the melon popped out, Charlotte noticed that Louis V's face on the high platform was about to turn black, and he looked at the third prince with frighteningly gloomy eyes.

As for the murder of the kingdom's vassals, the charges are equally explosive.

Because the noble accused the third prince of murdering none other than one of the nine Dukes of the kingdom, the former Duke of Bold!

As soon as this charge was brought out, the entire venue was about to explode.

If it was just murdering a kingdom vassal, although it would arouse the anger of the nobles, it would not explode like this.

The key is that the three princes stack too many buffs.

First of all, he is a royal family himself, and the murder of vassals by the royal family is originally a tyrant-like taboo.

Furthermore, what he murdered was not ordinary vassals, but the great nobles of the kingdom, and he was also a hero who made great contributions in the Star-Moon War.

Secondly, the nobleman is still his father-in-law, and the heir to the title is his wife.

In the end, his wife was also abused by him, and even suspected of being forced to kill her...

The True Different World version is extremely popular, and it is also the buff Jenga version.

When these accusations were announced, the entire venue was boiling, and some angry nobles even cursed and spurned them directly.

And on the high platform, Louis V's gaze became even more depressed. Even the air pressure near the high platform seemed to be much lower, and the nobles nearby did not dare to vent their atmosphere. They were depressed, like the calm before the storm.

Hearing the insults from the nobles below, and seeing the gradually indifferent eyes of Louis V, the third prince Philip finally panicked:

"No! No! This is slander! These charges are all slander!"

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something. He looked at Eleanor below, and said sharply:

"Eleanor! Tell them, it's all slander! I never abused you! I never abused Margaret! I never murdered the Duke!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Eleanor again.

"Boom—"

Duke Yuehu knocked on the gavel and said in a deep voice:

"His Excellency Philippe de Valva, according to the allegations, you are suspected of mentally manipulating Her Excellency Eleanor de Bold, Duke of Bold."

"According to the regulations, any testimony about your exculpation issued by Her Excellency Eleanor will be deemed invalid at this meeting."

After hearing Duke Yuehu's words, the third prince's eyes widened, and he cursed angrily:

"John de Andro! You traitor to the royal family! Eat dog food inside and out! Have you forgotten what your clan is!"

Hearing the third prince's abuse, Duke Yuehu frowned slightly.

However, before he could say anything, an angry shout from the high platform came over:

"Bastard! Shut up!"

A vast and terrifying coercion came from the high platform, wrapped in monstrous anger, and swept everything in an instant.

In an instant, the venue was silent.

The nobles kept silent one after another, not daring to vent their anger, and all of them turned pale under the terrifying coercion.

Only a few legends are still indifferent.

With the divine power of blood, Charlotte is actually fine. Although she feels the coercion is terrifying, she can still bear it.

However, she also imitated other nobles to act in shock.

It was King Louis V who spoke.

Under that angry shout, the third prince's face turned pale, his legs trembled, and his whole body fell limp.

If it wasn't for the Royal Knights forcibly detaining him, I'm afraid he couldn't stand anymore.

The coercion subsided slowly, Louis V gave him a cold look, and then calmly said:

"continue."

Duke Yuehu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then sighed, and said with a serious expression:

"Your Excellency Philip, of course I know what my surname is. The An Luo family is a branch of the Varva family. It is naturally my duty to maintain the glory of the Varva family."

"No one can desecrate the glory of the royal family, even you as a prince!"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then looked at the nobleman below:

"Then... Regarding the charges against the third prince, Philip de Valva, please..."

"I can testify."

Before Duke Yuehu finished speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.

It's Eleanor.

For a moment, the eyes of the nobles focused on the duchess again.

Duke Yuehu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Your Excellency Boulder, the testimony you mentioned refers to..."

Eleanor got up, looked at the third prince indifferently and disgustedly, and said:

"I can testify that I was indeed abused by Philip. At the same time, Princess Margaret was also bullied by him during her lifetime."

"Not only that, he seized the property of the nobles, colluded with the Blood Demon Cult, kidnapped and trafficked people, and killed civilians...I can testify to all of them."

After hearing Eleanor's words, the third prince's eyes widened, and he roared angrily:

"Eleanor! You bitch! Traitor!"

"quiet!"

Duke Moonguard shouted.

He glanced at the royal knights, and the knights quickly controlled the third prince with magic, so that he could not speak anymore.

Then, Duke Yuehu said to Eleanor:

"Your Excellency, any trial at the central meeting must have evidence. Do you have any definite evidence?"

Eleanor nodded:

"I have. But... before I testify, I have a question I want to clarify."

"Please tell me."

"I want to know how my father... died."

Duke Moonguard sighed:

"Of course, according to the testimony we obtained, your father was poisoned by His Excellency Philip."

"The witness is the maid of the old duke, who participated in the conspiracy personally, and fled from Boulder because she was afraid of being silenced, and was finally rescued by the nobleman during the hunt."

After hearing what Duke Moonguard said, Eleanor fell silent.

After a long time, she nodded:

"I see."

She glanced at the third prince with a dull expression and a pale face, and then gently lifted her clothes, revealing a series of criss-crossing scars.

Seeing the hideous scar, the nobles talked a lot and fell into commotion again.

And Eleanor looked indifferent:

"Then...let's come one by one, let's start with the third prince's abuse of me..."

...

The third prince is finished.

It's really over.

The moment Eleanor chose to be a witness, it meant that he was completely finished.

Eleanor was the object of long-term abuse by the third prince.

But also, she is also the wife of the third prince.

She who has witnessed the many filthiness of the third prince, once she chooses to stand up, it is enough to send him to hell.

One by one, Eleanor clearly listed all the criminal evidence of the third prince.

Listening to her shocking narration, the nobles looked at the third prince with even more disgust.

And when Eleanor finished exposing all the evil deeds of the third prince, an hour had passed.

The venue fell into silence again.

There is no need to continue to collect evidence.

Because of all kinds of evidence, it is enough.

Duke Yuehu tapped the gavel again, and said in a deep voice:

"The testimony is over, then... Next, the Central Conference Jury will try Philip de Valva's crimes!"

After finishing speaking, the deliberation group composed of the cabinet ministers of the kingdom and the dukes and lords began to discuss in a low voice. After a while, the draft trial letter was submitted to Duke Yuehu.

The Duke of Yuehu took a look, and then presented it to King Louis V respectfully.

Louis V glanced at it, frowned slightly, then took the quill pen and revised it a few times, and handed it back to the Duke of Yuehuo.

Looking at the king's revised verdict, Duke Yuehu widened his eyes and hesitated:

"Your Majesty... this..."

"read."

Louis V said coldly.

The Duke of Yuehu swallowed his saliva, bit the bullet and read:

"After investigation, the third prince of the new moon, Philip de Valva, seized the property of the nobles, violated the royal contract, colluded with the blood demon sect, subverted the kingdom's regime, abused the blood relatives of the nobles, murdered the kingdom's vassals, desecrated the sacred marriage, bought and sold free people and innocent people. The nobles of the land...the evidence is conclusive."

"According to the provisions of the "Holy Code" and the "Contract of Kingship", after the joint trial of the Central Conference Council and the New Moon King Louis de Valva, the third prince Philip de Valva was sentenced to—"

"Hanging!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall fell silent, and all the nobles looked at His Majesty the King with a calm expression on the high platform in shock, with incredulous expressions on his face.

Philip's eyes widened, and the blood on his face completely faded.

He trembled, and then his neck tilted, and he passed out directly.
