Chapter 442 Caroline's Speculations (Monthly Tickets Plus)
Next, the banquet naturally could not continue, and all the nobles were escorted by the second prince to the manor where the guests were resting!
And Gervis was naturally among them. What the second prince wanted was the loyalty of several earls and other great nobles who controlled various powers in the Duchy of Alban.
A newly promoted viscount like Gervis, who had no family to back him up, just casually said that he was willing to be loyal to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince's eyes left him.
After Gervis was sent back to his room, he lay down on the sofa, rubbing his temples.
"Grevith, you're back? I thought you were going to be late!"
Caroline was probably resting in the bedroom when she heard the noise in the living room. She walked out of the bedroom in surprise and asked Gervis who was sitting on the sofa.
"Something happened at the party, so I came back!"
When he saw Caroline coming out, Gervis immediately became distracted. After she came to his side, he embraced her.
"Little scoundrel!"
Caroline exclaimed, then leaned on Gervis' shoulder.
"Something unexpected happened at the banquet! Even the king's dinner was interrupted!"
After sitting down, Caroline ignored Gervis's dirty hands and asked about the banquet with a little curiosity.
As the daughter of an earl, Caroline knew best that aristocratic banquet could not be interrupted without a major incident, because it concerned the host's reputation.
As for things that are more important to the nobles than face, their seriousness is self-evident.
Caroline is a scheming woman, so she is quite curious about this aspect.
"There was a usurpation of the throne at the banquet!"
Talking about what happened tonight, Gervais became more serious.
Of course, he was not serious about the affairs of the Duchy of Alban.
It was because of the church. Gervis didn't know what the church was going to do, so he was so uneasy.
You know, the church is a behemoth for him now. The reason why he can be a noble lord leisurely and work hard to grow is because he has the Principality of Zeon as a shield for him.
If the shield of the Principality of Zeon is gone, then Gervis will definitely be in trouble, at least that's the case now!
"What? Usurping the throne? How is this possible?"
Caroline seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary and was even more surprised.
If Gervis hadn't known in advance that the church was the mastermind behind this, he might have been as surprised as Caroline.
"I'm surprised too, but this is the truth. The second prince, Alot, killed his brother and put King Hayden under house arrest! He will be crowned king tomorrow!"
Gervis said with a wry smile.
After listening to Gervis' words, Caroline frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly spoke.
"Grevith, do you think this is a conspiracy of the church?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Gervis was a little surprised. He didn't expect Caroline to guess it was the church.
"Actually, this is just my guess!"
Caroline noticed that Gervis had a strange expression on his face and thought he was confused about why it was related to the church, so she slowly explained.
"The reason why I have this guess is actually related to our Principality of Jean's second prince Chat!"
"The eldest prince Derek and the second prince Chat have been fighting openly and secretly for several years!"
"They have been planting spies around each other over the years! Before the southern expedition, a spy planted by the eldest prince Derek next to the second prince Chat sent back news that a mysterious stranger had been in contact with the second prince Chat recently."
"Later, the spy sent back news that this mysterious man was most likely a member of the church!"
"Originally, the eldest prince Derek wanted to send a spy to find out what the church members were talking about when they contacted the second prince Chat. But unexpectedly, after sending back the second message, there has been no news about this spy. It's as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth."
"Later, the eldest prince activated other spies to continue the discussion, but unfortunately, no other abnormalities were found!"
"Because there is no evidence, the eldest prince did not make it public. He thought that when he got more news in the future, he could use this incident to completely make the second prince lose the trust of King Lawrence!"
"So I guess the usurpation of the throne of the Duchy of Alban was instigated by the church!"
“It’s really possible!”
After hearing what Caroline said, Gervis first sighed that Caroline's intuition was accurate, and she could make the connection based on just a few things.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be shocked. The second prince Chat was left in the Principality of Jean. If the second prince was also bewitched by the church at this time, the whole continent would definitely be in chaos.
"I hope it's not such a coincidence! But I have to mention it to the Lord of the North and the others when I return!"
Gervis felt that things in the Principality of Jean were somewhat different from those in the Principality of Alban.
Because King Lawrence and a group of earls of the Principality of Jean were not ambushed, even if the second prince Chat wanted to usurp the throne, he would not be able to succeed.
However, since the church has had contact with the second prince, we have to be on guard. Gervis is now deeply aware of the church's ability to deceive people.
Whether it was Alice's former commander-in-chief, Roll, or the second prince of the Principality of Alban, Alot, weren't they all doing these things because of the instigation of the church?
Next, Gervis continued to talk with Caroline for a while and then went back to rest!
Because after a while, they heard faint shouts and screams coming from a distance. This should be the unstable factors that the second prince Alote was cleaning up in the palace.
All right! Gervis admitted that because the feel was so good, he wanted to rest early, so...
(I didn’t count how many words were omitted!)
…
The next morning, because he had been... um... on high alert the whole night, Gervis yawned when he got up.
Caroline looked at him with resentment.
"Ahem! Ahem! Caroline, the second prince will be crowned king today, I'm leaving first! I'll have the maid come in to serve you later, just have a good rest!"
After saying that, Gervis fled from the bedroom.
The bellflower poison in Caroline's body has not been removed yet, so Gervis's bravery is a little unbearable. Gervis knows that he is in the wrong, so he escapes reluctantly.
…
Gervis came to the living room, called the servants, asked the maid to take care of Caroline, and then he had breakfast and left the room.
At this time, many nobles had gathered outside the manor, and there was a team of hundreds of guards "guarding" nearby.
They also vaguely heard the shouting and screaming in the middle of the night last night, so these nobles did not look very well when they woke up in the morning, and it was obvious that they could not sleep.
After the nobles gathered, under the "escort" of nearly a hundred guards, they went to the main hall of the palace, where the second prince Alot would ascend the throne and be crowned king.
(The second prince did not participate in the southern expedition. It seems that this was mentioned in a previous chapter. I have revised it!)
Still 7 chapters to go!
I'll post this chapter first! I won't have time to write tomorrow morning, so the chapters from noon may have to be posted in the evening! Please forgive me!
