After Eldred finished talking with the war mason "Mad Woman" Fabriche, he hurried back to his room, washed his hair and wet his upper body to avoid being noticed.
But as soon as he walked out of the bathroom shirtless, the faint vibration from the ground made him stunned for a moment.
Then, the double door that he had locked was suddenly slammed open.
Two robots that were obviously not human, made of metal parts from head to toe, with blue and white lights flashing on their bodies, rushed in and pinned Eldred down.
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?" Eldred cursed and struggled hard, but was horrified to find that he had no room to resist at all.
Just a moment later, he was pushed to the ground and felt something pricking his neck. His whole body instantly lost all strength.
"You fucking...Guards, where are the guards?!" Eldred shouted at the top of his lungs.
Later, he did not see the shadow of the Fearless Vanguard, but instead saw a pair of golden iron-plate boots, leg armor, white knee-pads with gold edges on the hips, and a white cloak that fell to the heels - that was the king's attire.
"His Majesty?!"
Eldred raised his head and saw Jarvan III standing in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Behind him were Li Lin with a faint smile on his face, Prince Jarvan IV, General Zhao Xin, Tiana and a group of fully armed fearless pioneers. Even Pete was among them with a cold expression.
The two robots that just broke through the door and rushed in were the mechanical engineers that Li Lin had previously used to add a nuclear fusion reactor to Galio.
They injected Eldred with a special sedative that could make a person feel weak but not mentally.
"What are you doing?" Eldred asked in surprise.
"At this point, are you still pretending to be stupid in front of me?" Jarvan III's tone was extremely cold.
Could it be that those three idiots were really exposed and gave me away?
Eldred was horrified, but he pretended to be innocent on the surface.
"This, this isn't right? Who's framing me? As the leader of the Demon Hunters' Association and a councilor of the Crown Guards, if I were really like my subordinates who were planning a rebellion, how could I still be here instead of running away... Don't you agree?"
He forced a smile and looked at his wife, but what he received in return was emotionless hatred, which was not even as disgusted as before.
Damn, am I really exposed?
The one most likely to be exposed is Camilla, the bitch who just succeeded her father's position. She has no scheming at all and likes to show off her sour face to others every day...
Or it could be that impulsive guy Clemens.
When I first contacted Newman to discuss the mage issue, I clearly told him not to drag this reckless guy into the water, but Newman just wouldn't listen. He's such a stupid old man who's halfway to death!
Eldred cursed in his heart.
What he didn't know was that it was Newman who was exposed first, and under the influence of the truth serum, the crime of colluding with Noxus was put on him.
"Tiana, you see, we're a couple, you should be very..."
"Don't get involved with me!" Tiana didn't give Eldred a chance to speak, causing his expression to freeze.
Then, the crisp sound of metal boots hitting marble reached his ears. Jarvan III took a few steps forward and squatted in front of Eldred.
"I never thought, Eldred, that the reason you chose to abandon your own declining family and marry into the Crown Guard family was simply to take advantage of my trust in the Crown Guards and climb to a higher position, thereby providing convenience for your Noxus."
"How can you..." Eldred's eyes shrank. "This is pure slander! I never told No..."
Before he could finish his words, Jarvan III, who had already turned around and greeted Li Lin, was holding a miniature projector in his hand and projected the scene from a few minutes ago on the floor in front of him.
The images and voice messages of him pressing the mechanism on the bookshelf to open the door to the secret room, then walking down the stairs and communicating with the female war mason named Fabrice, the so-called Noxian spy, appeared in his mind one by one.
The entire scene is kept in the first person perspective, except that the camera is slightly higher than Eldred.
It was not until the end when he clamped Fabrice's neck as if to vent his anger that an ultra-high-definition full-body "photo" was taken.
This is exactly the picture captured by the nano drone following Li Lin, who was in optical camouflage.
Eldred opened his mouth wide, but still stubbornly argued, "This is fucking fake!"
Then, he looked at Li Lin viciously and turned the tables, "Your Majesty, haven't you noticed that since this old man from Piltover came to Demacia, we have been having incidents every now and then?
"Considering his sudden appearance on the battlefield near His Royal Highness, perhaps he and Noxus staged a conspiracy to infiltrate Demacia, alienate our top brass, and throw us into chaos!"
There was no need for Li Lin to respond. Jarvan IV frowned and slammed the end of the dragon spear in his hand on the ground, creating spider-web-like cracks in the marble.
"You are not allowed to slander Li Lin!" the prince shouted angrily, "He is my savior. Without him, I would not be who I am today!"
In contrast, Jarvan III was much calmer and composed. He simply smiled without any emotion and said, "We'll know if it's slander or not after we try it."
