Alien Knights

Chapter 372: The Queen's Succession (Part 2)

"Why did the King of West Side come here?!"

The people in the hall watched Todd slowly walk into the hall, and they talked a lot.

Walking to the front of the main hall, Todd turned around, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet. I believe many people will be curious about the reason why I am here..."

Glancing at the throne next to him, Todd continued: "Holy Acropolis and Muxicheng are neighbors and a pair of allies in the diocese. It is well known that when the Holy Acropolis was in a food crisis, Muxicheng was the first to reach out. Give a helping hand..."

"As for why I came here? The reason is simple. I heard about the election for the throne of the Holy Acropolis. I originally wanted to congratulate the new king after he succeeded. But the old king went crazy and delayed the election of the throne, and I The timing of the visit has also changed from congratulating to observing."

"Watching?" Earl Gordon shook his head and said, "King Muxi, I am afraid that you will be disappointed. The two candidates for the election of the Holy Acropolis, His Royal Highness Sinclair and His Royal Highness Mattid are currently unknown, so the election is only Can be postponed indefinitely."

The smile on Todd's face stagnated: "Two candidates? Wrong? How did I hear that there are three?"

Earl Gordon opened his eyes wide and froze in place: "Three?!"

Outside the door of the hall, the sun has already set, and the confused moonlight is faintly spilling on the earth.

Under the bright and cold moonlight, a stunning woman in a white dress walked into the hall. Her skin was as white as falling snow, and her beautiful face gave people a dreamlike feeling in the night.

In the exclamation of everyone, Mary stepped on the stone slab under her feet and walked into the hall with her head held up and her chest high.

Earl Gordon looked at the woman he had seen when he was a child, and opened his mouth wide. He didn't know what to say for a while.

"This is ridiculous!"

A shout came from the crowd.

Todd looked at the sound, Cardinal Jacob pointed at Mary and reprimanded: "She is not qualified to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis! She is the queen of the silver ring kingdom. After marrying the king of silver ring, It should have nothing to do with the Holy Acropolis!"

Jacob's words made everyone present unanimously agree.

In their eyes, although the Kingdom of the Silver Ring is already subjugated, the queen is the queen after all. How can it come to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis?

Mary's posture is still tall and straight, and her expression is still arrogant, but Jacob's words have already opened up the scars in her heart.

Her teeth were biting her white lips, her nails were deeply embedded in the palms of her hands, and she looked shaky.

Todd turned his face to Mary and gave the latter a warm smile, which made her mood slightly better.

"Master Bishop, there seems to be something wrong."

Hearing Todd's words, Jacob, who was still triumphant, turned dark, and said angrily: "What's wrong?"

Todt rubbed his chin and thought while saying, "If I remember correctly, when the Silver Ring Kingdom colluded with the barbarians, the church had a piece of sacred text and expelled the Silver Ring King from his membership. In other words, since then, The King of Qiyinhuan has become a pagan, and Heavenly Father no longer recognizes the sacred marriage between him and the queen..."

Jacob's eyes opened wider and wider, and his mouth opened enough to lay an egg.

Todd pointed to Mary and continued: "Since the church no longer recognizes this marriage, she naturally no longer has any relationship with the Silver Ring Kingdom, and naturally has the right to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis..."

Jacob's mood now was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

What he never expected was that the church completely shot himself in the foot this time. Expulsion of the King Yinhuan’s membership was tantamount to ending the marriage between the king and the queen. This enabled Mary, who was a Christian of the Father, to regain the right of inheritance.

Jacob deliberately wanted to refute one or two, but he couldn't think of any reason to explain this matter, so he could only hesitate in place.

After thinking for a while, people also nodded their heads and approved this statement.

Todd smiled and turned his face to Earl Gordon: "I think, as to whether Mary has the right to succeed to the throne, no one has any more objections, right?

Gordon glanced at the lonely woman next to him, and sighed lightly: "No objections."

"Then let the candidate..."

Jacob jumped out at this time and said: "Now that the other two candidates are absent, how can the election be conducted?"

Todd looked at the people in the hall and said shockingly: "Both candidates have been disqualified."

Gordon asked in surprise: "Disqualified? What do you mean?!"

"First talk about His Royal Highness Mattide." Todd took a report from Dion, who was limping, and said to everyone present: "I have a record here. It is clear and plain. The record of His Royal Highness Mattide’s crime of selling food."

Gordon frowned, picked up the handed report, and looked at it carefully.

The paper records in detail how Matide used his power to sell and embezzle relief supplies after the food crisis to meet his personal luxury needs. Looking at the long list of numbers, it was shocking.

Watching the report circulate in the hands of the nobles and officials, Gordon looked at Todd: "Are these figures true?"

"Absolutely true." From the corner of Todd's eyes, he glanced at Tristan in the crowd, and then said to Gordon: "The handling of these goods has passed through several Western Chambers of Commerce, and all sales data are well-documented. check."

Listening to the people in the temple loudly reprimanding His Royal Highness Mattide’s actions, Jacob rolled his eyes and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Mattide is deficient in virtue and may not be suitable for the king's throne. This is also the reason that the Holy See gave up supporting him. The reason... But what about His Highness Sinclair?!"

Gordon also reacted at this time: "Yes! His Royal Highness Mattide is not a good choice, but His Royal Highness Sinclair loves the people like a son, is kind, and diligent in government affairs. How can you deny his inheritance rights, Lord Twilight?!"

Todd raised his eyebrows: "From my point of view, His Highness Sinclair seems to be inferior to His Highness Mattide when it comes to character..."

"What did you say?!"

Todd's words caused an uproar in the hall, and Gordon was the first to roar: "Lord of the West, please speak clearly! Even if your status is noble, you can't slander the heirs of the Holy Guard at will!"

Todd looked around the angry people around him, and exchanged glances with Cumberland.

The latter waved his hand, and a small group of soldiers from the Knights immediately carried a basket of papers and books.

"If Matide’s crime was simply because of greed, then Sinclair’s actions were almost brutal." Todd pointed to a page that was hundreds of times more than before and said: "Because the latter was doing trafficking. People are bought and sold, and they are sold to the people of Holy Acropolis!"

Shocks and roars almost lifted the roof, people questioned Todd loudly, everyone scolded him for being alarmist.

There was only one exception. Cardinal Jacob looked at the documents stacked up to half a meter high on the ground, and seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Todd asked Earl Gordon to find several kingdom clerks, and picked out several documents from the middle for them to read aloud.

From the names of the refugee family members, to the arrangement of the fleeing organization, then to the log and memos of the ship's voyage, to the sales records of the slave market, and finally to how the sales proceeds were washed white and entered Sinclair's pockets. These documents even describe the appearance and size of each slave in detail.

People's questioning voices gradually lowered, and there was an expression of shocked chin on everyone's face.

Gordon looked at the book in his hand with tears, and slowly closed his eyes, letting it fall to the ground, and muttered in his mouth: "His Royal Highness...How could this be? How could this be?!"

Seeing this scene in front of him~lightnovelpub.net~ Jacob knew that things were gradually developing in the worst direction, and he had no choice but to give it a go.

"These documents can be forged! None of them are true!" Jacob waved his arms and exclaimed excitedly: "The Muxi Kingdom must have been prepared for this day for a long time, in order to confuse the audience! Don't believe it! he!"

Todd looked at the jumping and screaming cardinal with a mocking gaze, snapped his fingers at Cumberland.

The latter asked the adjutant of the Knights to lead two people up.

A man and a child are like father and son.

Gordon looked at these two people and suddenly exclaimed: "Pilal! Why are you here?!"

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the people around, Gordon quickly said: "This man is a gardener in my manor, and that child is his son, but they should all have fled to the Duchy of Fenton...your wife Vera Where did you go?"

"My master!" Pilar knelt on his knees and hugged Gordon's legs, crying and narrating his experience in the past six months.

With vision and hope for a new life, Pilar took his wife and children aboard the merchant ship that evacuated the refugees. Unexpectedly, a family of three was treated as slaves and sold to the ancient city of Ulster.

After that, his wife committed suicide in an unbearable humiliation, and his son was permanently disabled because of the buyer's brutal beating...

Listening to this person's statement, Jacob sat limply on the ground.

There are both human and physical evidence, and the general situation is gone.

After the storm, the throne election proceeded smoothly.

This night, it is destined to be recorded in the history of the Holy Acropolis. This martial and militant country, hundreds of years after its founding, gave birth to its first queen. (https:)
