537 Cooperation (2/2)

Natasha, Russell and Camil looked more or less the same after hearing David's reply. The only difference was that the latter two did not even have the strength to frown.

Noticing Duke James' awful face, David smiled even more delightedly, ”Very angry and very desperate about the Church? Then, let me tell you something even more infuriating.”

”What is it?” Duke James demanded.

David laughed very happily, ”Think about it. Is it easy for me, a noble who was close to the Congress of Magic, to get in touch and conspire with someone who ranked top ten among the night watchers? Could my fury have burst out so soon? Let me tell you. It was all because of the nobles who were inclined to the Church. They triggered the devil in my heart. Hehe. They did not want the kingdom to fall into a civil war. Therefore, they asked Grunwell to pretend to be 'Poisonous Devil' of the Dark Congress. After everything was over and you elected me as the king, you would find that the most conservative nobles also supported your opinion!”

”By then, you would've thought that they were doing it to appease you and to maintain 'solidarity' in order to live through the difficulties!”

Duke James said gloomily, ”Who was it? Any noble who attempts to kill their liege must be hanged!”

It would matter if such a thing was done in secret, but if it was revealed, it would be the most severe crime that challenged the entire noble class.

”Count Barady, Duke York, and perhaps President Rex.” David replied with a smile, selling them out without any hesitation, and even adding more.

Now that I'm about to die, what's the point of keeping Holm complete and prosperous? You should die. Let a civil war reduce Holm into ruins. That will be the best offering for me!

Duke James couldn't have looked more awful. He declared, one word after another, ”I'll ask sorcerers, knights who are adept at interrogation, and the members of the inquisition to question you in turns. I hope you're not lying.”

If it was only Count Barady, it would've been easier. However, behind Duke York had Kritonia, a legendary knight, and Rex was the leader of the conservatives. If they were involved in the matter, it would have to be handled with caution. Also, David was not necessarily speaking the truth.

”You won't be disappointed, Duke. Did you ever wonder why the prince died so coincidentally? Haha!” David burst into laughter, not bothering that they saw through his exaggeration in the end. After all, the seed of suspicion had been planted!

Hearing him pointing out the problems about Prince Patrick's death, Duke James looked so awful that his face seemed to be dripping water. Natasha, however, continued focusing her willpower as if she did not hear anything, but coldness did beam out of her silver eyes.

Lucien was less puzzled after learning that it was done by night watchers. They were 'professionals' to eliminate sorcerers and evil forces. Naturally, they had their ways to avoid the detection of the Host Star of Destiny. Also, he was levels lower than the criminal.

At this moment, the Host Star of Destiny of 'Alferris' glittered on the crystal ball, implying that it was unhurt and not far away.

What surprised Lucien, however, was that two clusters of powerful projections of fate lay next to the Host Star of Destiny of the Little Crystal. They were very fuzzy but they did not cover themselves, allowing Lucien to identify them very easily.

”Master? Your Excellency Hathaway?”

What exactly is going on?

......

In midair, Fernando, the Lord of Storm, stared at the void before him with his red eyes wide open. On his left side was the indifferent Hathaway, and behind him squatted the clever Alferris.

It informed his master the moment it noticed that something was wrong.

”Sard, why did you ask us to watch this? To let me see how my student makes a comeback?” Asked Fernando solemnly.

The air not far away seemed to have been gathered into the shadow of a person, who smiled peacefully, ”How would the liberals seek another way of balance, and how would they abandon the Church at the critical moment without any hesitation, if they had not been through life-and-death dangers that made them desperate about the Church first?”

”What do you want exactly?” Fernando squinted.

”Cooperation. I want to cooperate with you.”

Sard's projection spoke concisely.
