Chapter 241

The procession of citizens blocked the way of the burial procession, and Alsace was unable to use force to suppress it. He could only ask Pope Levi to persuade this group of citizens to go home, but Pope Levi said he was powerless.

How could one deploy a hundred thousand troops to protect his daughter's safety?

At this point, Alsace also saw the attitude of the church.

He also wrote it directly in the letter, just like showing off his muscles.

The church just wants to remain neutral on this matter, and there is even the possibility of leaning on the wall and falling to Elsa's side.

This was followed by letters from Orléans, Aragon and Lucia.

However, at this time, the remaining problems in the history of the empire came again.

The three dukes all expressed neutrality and condolences, and even the Duke of Orleans wanted to join Elsa's side.

The church has its own papal guards. Although the number is small, the elite level is even comparable to that of the Forbidden Army. In this case, it is obviously unwise and unfeasible to control the church by force.

And he attacks the palace demon

Although the mission of the mage station was completed, the court magicians escaped with Elsa.

Moreover, the pope also has the power to excommunicate secular rulers, just as he had previously excommunicated Giovanni.

He just drove them out of the palace and did not catch the person he wanted to catch.

Although there is no precedent in history for excommunicating an emperor, it does not mean that the pope cannot do so.

Alsace really couldn't imagine how his sister could have such a high personality charm that attracted so many people to help her.

When Alsace thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on his back again.

It is precisely because of this news that the news in Alsace in the next few days will definitely not be good.

Back in the palace, Alsace was not in a good mood.

However, at this moment, the door was knocked by the guard. After getting a response from Alsace in the room, the guard opened the door and walked in.

Rosalin walked up and gently massaged Alsace's shoulders.

"Who is going to send troops to fight again? Let's just say it." Arthas closed his eyes and said unhappily.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"No, Your Majesty, during the trial of Orson in the Imperial Court, Sherlock suddenly appeared and said that the evidence we had prepared before was all false. After she did this, the Imperial Court directly announced that the trial would be set for another day. We are here today. There is no way to bring Orson down."

She said this in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Alsace sat up from the sofa, frightening Rosalin who was massaging him to scream.

Alsace also felt a rare warmth.

"ah!"

Ever since he decided to fight for the throne, he has never felt the warmth from his family for a day.

"Feel sorry."

But now, after his father passed away and he had a complete break with his sister, he felt the long-lost warmth in Rosalin again.

Arthas first apologized to Rosalind, then stood up and came to the side of the guard.

Perhaps because of the excessive pressure from the outside world, I just wanted to find a safe haven here, so I naturally regarded Rosalin as that person.

But no matter what, my current mood is real, and that's enough.

"You just said that Sherlock suddenly appeared?"

With this thought in mind, Alsace stood up on his own initiative, and for the first time in his life, he hugged Rosalind with the love of a man and a woman.

"Well, that's right. Her evidence led to some of the evidence we gave becoming perjury. It's hard for the judges to judge, so they can only choose a date..."

Rosalin's eyes widened in surprise, but then her body softened and she hugged Alsace back.

"This is not easy to judge. This is clearly giving me eye drops."

As Alsace said this, his expression felt as if he had eaten a fly.

"Are you tired? Next, do I want to help you go to bed?"

He arranged for people to keep an eye on Sherlock, but now it seems that his people are most likely to have rebelled.

"Um."

Arthas nodded.

…

On the other side, Orson was brought to the Imperial Court for trial. The trial lasted for two days. The first day was to determine the guilt, and the second day was to judge the guilt.

On the first day of the trial, Orson was characterized as a traitor to the king for his involvement in the murder of Francois, Duke of Orleans, and the murder of Emperor Odysseus, and then deliberately framed the murder of Alsace. Si, trying to overthrow the rule of the empire.

Any one of these crimes would be enough to make Orson lose his head if he were finally tried.

However, Orson just smiled in court and did not defend any of the charges.

Everything is waiting for the next day to have enough materials and start a trial based on the materials and evidence.

Orson's life seems to have come to an end.

At night, high-ranking knight Owen knocked on Orson's door, then opened the door and walked into the room.

Orson was lying on the bed now, still looking very comfortable.

"Orson, tomorrow is the final accusation. Can you still sleep now?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "I have a clear conscience, why can't I sleep?"

"It's you, I haven't seen Sherlock these days. Has she been arrested by you too?"

"I don't know." Owen shook his head. "I don't know what your Majesty did."

"I suggest you don't call him Your Majesty for now, otherwise you will feel awkward if you change your name later."

Owen heard what Orson said. Although he felt a little unhappy, he didn't say much.

After all, he also knew that there was something fishy about Alsace's rise to power. If someone were sent to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation.

"However, I have to give you a piece of advice, Mr. Owen."

Orson said this, closed the book in his hand, put it on the bedside table, and then looked at Owen.

"I suggest that you better pay attention to the raven these days, otherwise, he will easily 'escape'."

With that said, Orson turned off the bedside lamp.

"I'm going to rest. I hope I can be like a raven when I get up early tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Owen immediately exited the room, closed Orson's door, and then came to the cell where Raven was being held.

Several guards at the door saw Owen coming and quickly let him go.

Owen used the lock to unlock the key to Raven's cell, and the scene before him froze him in shock.

There was no one in the cell at the moment.

Raven, who was once a felon in the empire, is now missing.

Upon seeing this, Owen quickly came to the door of the cell and looked at the two guards at the door.

"Where are the prisoners inside?"

Owen suppressed the anger in his chest and asked.

"A group of knights came today and brought an order from His Majesty, saying that the raven was to be taken away and executed, so we asked them to take the raven away."

"Do you know where he was taken to be executed?"

"have no idea."

The guard shook his head.

When Owen heard this, he was so angry that he punched the wall so hard that the two guards at the door broke into cold sweat and trembled.

He was afraid that Owen's next punch would fall on him.

Thinking back to what Orson just said, Owen instantly thought of a person.

So, he went to the palace at night, preparing to meet Alsace.

However, at this time, he saw the sound of fighting coming from the palace magician's station not far away. Fireballs exploded in the air and swords struck the barrier. The original royal guards were now in civil strife and fighting together. .

In Owen's eyes, only a few days had passed, but the situation in the empire had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He paused for a few seconds, then ignored the battle in the distance and insisted on heading to the palace.

However, he was stopped at the entrance of the palace.

"I'm going to see His Majesty. I have something important to discuss!" Owen said to the guard at the door in a serious tone.

But the guard just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Sir Owen. Your Majesty is resting with the Queen right now. Please don't disturb the two of them, otherwise it will be difficult for us."

Hearing what the other party said, and with such a firm tone, Owen could only turn around angrily.

The next morning, he saw Orson again.

"Am I right? Is the raven missing?"

"He has been executed."

Owen said.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and he looked much more haggard than before.

"Have you seen his body, or do you, a smart man, want to believe one side of the story? Then it seems that I am going to change my view of you."

"..."

Owen was silent.

"There is no other way. Arthas has gone crazy. At this point, he is willing to use any trump card, even using felons."

Orson said this and stood up.

"Okay, I know you don't want to believe me, so take me to the court now. I want to see what the judges are going to use to convict me."

"You don't have to go."

Owen said.

"What? But weren't you the ones who caught me here?"

Orson raised an eyebrow.

"If you go now, you will only die in vain. It is not worth risking your life for political struggle."

"So, you want to betray Arthas?"

"I will not betray the Empire."

Owen said so.

"Oh, the Empire?"

Orson said this with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Then it seems you are quite a smart person."

Orson stood next to Owen.

"However, you should take me to the court. I am sure that they will not be able to deal with me."

"I, Orson, am not someone who will just surrender when I encounter danger."

…

On the other side, in Sherlock's room.

These days, she cooperated with Phil to record a batch of confessions, and she knew that these confessions would be used against Orson.

Once her evidence is presented in court, coupled with Alsace's management, Orson will definitely avoid trial.
