Working Prophet

Duran's guess was right. Not long after, he saw two cloaked figures appear at the other end of the alley.

Judging from their stature, they should be a man and a woman, and the chief guard of the imperial forest is still pondering the identity of the opposite party.

One of the women had taken off her hood.

"Sir Durham, I am sorry to invite you here in such a way."

"Priest Cornelia, is that you?" The head of the royal guard was very surprised, "Your Majesty was poisoned shortly after you left this morning. I sent someone to look for you, but unfortunately it was too late. His Majesty has already... "

"I know what happened," Cornelia said.

"That's right, it's been half a day since the incident happened, and it should have spread in the city."

"No, I mean that I got an oracle from the goddess. I knew this tragedy would happen early in the morning. I warned His Majesty just last night, and I warned him again before the start of the competition this morning, but unfortunately he Refuse to take my word for it.”

"Of course, it's not surprising that this kind of thing happens." Cornelia continued, "Believers are like this. We are like lambs. The goddess tells us not to graze on the edge of the cliff, but we forget her from time to time. warning."

"Wait, I don't understand, you said you had a premonition that this kind of thing would happen?" Du Lun opened his mouth wide.

"That's right, and in order to convince His Majesty, I personally verified it for him. I... entered Earl Clyde's head and read his memory.

"But even so, His Majesty still refuses to believe the facts before him. I have to admit that I underestimated his trust in his family, especially his own blood."

"What are you talking about?" Du Lun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You know what I'm talking about, Sir Durham, because you already have doubts in your heart, don't you?"

The priestess said lightly, "You are afraid of this possibility and force yourself not to think about it. You are right, you should not investigate any further."

The chief guard of the Imperial Forest only felt his hair stand on end. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.

Afterwards, he seemed to be having a fierce struggle in his heart before he spoke again, "Do you have evidence?"

"Is this important? I know you are skilled in martial arts, Ser Duren, but this is a battle you are destined to fail to win. There is no need to make fearless sacrifices."

"I am the Chief of the Imperial Guard, and it is my duty to protect His Majesty, and I failed to fulfill this sole duty, but at least I can tell the truth to the public, even if the price is to sacrifice my life.

"But the thing is that Vallia also teaches us that our lives don't just belong to us."

The priestess said, "You also saw that guy with wings, the mistress of the Arias family did not lie, the storm is coming, Sir Duron, I have consulted the great Vallia.

"The goddess warned me that the enemy this time is stronger than we imagined. To win the final victory, everyone must contribute their own strength instead of dying in meaningless political struggles."

"Meaningless?!" Du Lun lowered his voice, "If my guess is true, plus... that man murdered his father himself, and the imperial ministers are going to put a patricide on that card Bone Seat.”

"It's not necessary. Whether you are willing or not, this is a foregone conclusion."

"How come, he will be crowned in two days. As long as we announce the truth before then, the imperial ministers can elect a new emperor."

"Why?" the priestess asked.

"Why for what?"

"Why do the imperial ministers listen to you? Gals was designated as the heir by Edward II early on, attended the imperial meeting, and later handled government affairs in place of his father.

"He has a very good relationship with the imperial ministers, and the imperial ministers also like him very much. They will not want to accept another emperor at this time."

"Even if Garth killed his own father?" the captain of the royal guard raised his voice a little. .

"You are not a politician. Let's leave it at this. It will not benefit anyone if we continue to investigate."

"Is this what you wanted to say to me after you brought me here? Let me listen."

"Yes, I am saving you."

"But I don't need anyone to save me." The captain of the royal guard shook his head, and then he looked into the eyes of the priestess and begged.

"You should know how much His Majesty trusts you and how much he worships the god behind you. In the past two years, he has offended many people for you, and even bears a lot of infamy for it."

"And I also made him see his heart clearly and become no longer confused. I also reminded him more than once before he encountered danger."

"But you can do more, can't you?" Duran continued, "You and your sect have huge influence in the royal capital, no matter the nobles or the common people.

"If you can use this influence to help me, we can reveal the truth of the matter together. Even if the ministers want to protect Garth, they will not be able to protect it. The most important thing is that we can also repay His Majesty's kindness."

The eyes of the captain of the royal guard were full of expectation.

The priestess sighed and repeated, "You are not a politician, Sir Duren. Politicians are not emotional. They need to keep their heads clear at all times and do things that are beneficial to themselves and the overall situation. However, …”

Cornelia changed the subject, "You did convince me that Edward II is my monarch and my friend. If you really need me, I can come forward to testify for you, but you need to find more evidence first. "

Du Lun was overjoyed when he heard this, "Of course, there are still two days until Garth's coronation, and I will continue to investigate."

"Then I will wait for your good news." said the priestess.

After separating from Cornelia, the captain of the royal guard decided to slightly adjust his previous plan.

Let's not go to the Tower of King's Landing yet, because it will probably alert the enemy.

Although Duren wanted to catch the assassin very strongly, he also knew how difficult it was to accuse the future emperor of the empire, especially when the latter had the support of the Imperial Council.

He is now in a very dangerous situation and must be careful at all times.

Duren planned to meet with the sommelier Ward, who was imprisoned in the garrison prison again. This time Duren would focus on asking Ward if there had been any unusual behavior in Gars these days.

It's a pity that the birdman named Moen has been killed by Ilea, otherwise maybe we can find a breakthrough from him and find evidence of Garth's collusion with the alien race.

However, the captain of the royal guard only felt a little regretful and quickly got back to work. He still had a lot to do, and he had to complete all investigations before Gars was crowned.
