The childish voice was full of sarcasm, resounding in everyone's hearts.

For a moment, the entire ceremony venue fell into an eerie silence.

The people watching the ceremony whispered, while the nobles who had been admiring on the stage just now looked at each other.

"Ant... an ant?"

"Thin blood...?"

"Blasphemy?"

"Is this... are you talking about His Royal Highness?"

Whispering discussions gradually resounded among the crowd, and people's eyes focused on Prince Henry again.

The childish voice was not obscured, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Including the self-proclaimed voice just now and the current mockery of Prince Henry.

There is no doubt that the voice belonged to the summoned Roman Sword, and Prince Henry who summoned the Roman Sword... did not seem to be recognized by the Roman Sword.

This...what happened?

Wasn’t the light just now so dazzling?

The people looked a little confused.

Feeling the confused eyes focused on him, Prince Henry broke into cold sweat.

Wait...this doesn't seem right.

Didn't it mean that Roman's Sword wouldn't care about his bloodline?

And, it sounds...

It doesn’t seem like a child with the intelligence of a ten-year-old!

Prince Henry was shocked and confused. He felt that today's ceremony was slightly out of control, and the reaction of Roman Sword was completely different from what was recorded in ancient books.

You must know that although the Book of Roman Contract has not been used for many years, there are two different things between not using it for many years and not using it at all.

It is not that the ancestors of the Roman family have never used similar methods to summon.

But the situation he encountered was not only very different from him, it could also be said to be completely different.

He couldn't help but look at the Duke of Conte on the high platform, and cast a vague look at him for help.

However, when he looked over, he found that the Duke of Conte also had a stunned face, seemingly not expecting the current situation.

Prince Henry suddenly became numb.

But he knew he had no way out.

Taking a deep breath, Prince Henry plucked up the courage to raise his head again and looked at the Roman sword standing out of thin air. He considered his words and said in a respectful voice:

"Lord Roman, I... did not deceive you. It was indeed me who initiated the ritual to wake you up from your deep sleep!"

"The bloodline of the Roman family is indeed no longer what it used to be. I must also admit that the current strength of our Roman family is indeed not as strong as those famous ancestors in history..."

"But...but this is exactly why we want to summon you. We hope that you can help us according to the contract and regain the glory of our ancestors!"

"I have never had any blasphemous thoughts. I have always been in awe of our great ancestors and have never had any blasphemous thoughts!"

After hearing what Prince Henry said, the people watching and the nobles watching the ceremony were all stunned, and then they all became thoughtful.

"Okay... it seems to be true. The Roman family has indeed declined. The consciousness for so many years has only been a projection of summoning Roman's sword, but it is the first time in hundreds of years that Roman's sword has been truly summoned..."

"Could it be that Mr. Roman is dissatisfied with the current decline of the Roman family?"

"So...if your bloodline is declining, so is His Majesty the King. His Highness should not be blamed, right?"

"Perhaps... if you explain it clearly, you can gain forgiveness from Master Artifact."

The crowd of onlookers whispered.

After hearing Prince Henry's words, the divine light on Roman's Sword also paused slightly, as if he did not expect that he would answer like this.

Seeing Roman's Sword fall into silence, Prince Henry felt at ease.

Obviously, although the IQ of Roman Sword seems to be different from what is recorded, it does not seem to be much higher.

But just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the childish voice sounded again, with a sneer and anger:

"Hmph! Cunning human being, you almost got me in!"

"Yes, you did initiate the ritual, but it was the Book of Contract that successfully awakened me!"

"I have always turned a blind eye to the incomplete calls of you, the Roman descendants, and complied with the ancient contract. But now you have blasphemed in front of me, which is simply unforgivable!

"

At this point, Roman's sword shined brightly, and the terrifying pressure was released, directly pressing Prince Henry to the ground:

"A humble ant, a shameless liar, and a rampant thief!"

"You don't really think that the great Lord Roman doesn't know who actually activated the Book of Contract, do you?"

"Speak! Blasphemer! From whom did you steal the blood that dripped on the book of contract?!"

The voice of Roman's Sword was extremely majestic and filled with monstrous rage, echoing in everyone's ears.

After hearing Roman's Sword's words, the nobles and people watching the ceremony were shocked.

"Stealing...stealing blood?"

"This...could it be that it was not His Highness the Prince's blood that activated the Book of Contract, so is Master Artifact so angry?"

"Dear...your highness the prince...what is going on? Are you really cheating on the ceremony?"

The secret of the contract was exposed by Roman's sword on the spot. Prince Henry's expression changed drastically and his face instantly turned pale.

Seeing his expression, the crowd watching the ceremony became even more convinced of the rebuke of the artifact Roman Sword.

For a time, the nobles who had supported Prince Henry all looked disappointed, and those nobles who were in the mood to watch the excitement looked at him with even more mocking and joking expressions.

As for the people of the Roman Principality who were watching around them, they were already in anger:

"Blasphemy! This is blasphemy! Master Roman is right! This is blasphemy against Roman's ancestors!"

"He cheated on the ceremony! He tarnished Roman's glory! He blasphemed the ancestral gods!"

"He does not deserve to be Roman's heir! He does not deserve to be the heir to the throne!"

"Depose him! Depose him!"

The demigod Romanus is the common cultural symbol of the people of the Roman Principality and a hero in the hearts of the people.

Prince Henry, whose conspiracy was exposed, undoubtedly aroused public outrage.

For a moment, the people waved their fists and scolded and cursed Prince Henry on the altar.

Looking at the angry people and the indifferent nobles, Prince Henry felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

It's over.

He's finished.

Even after racking his brain, he didn't know why the planned ceremony turned out like this, and why the usually docile Roman Sword became so furious.

But he knew...he was finished.

Prince Henry raised his head and wanted to ask the Duke of Conte for help on the viewing platform, but... the Duke of Conte actually avoided his sight, also showing a distressed look.

Prince Henry's eyes suddenly widened.

"Huh, shameless blasphemer, the great sword of Roman has always been merciful! Tell me where the blood you stole came from, and I can forgive your offense!"

The childish voice sounded again, with an unquestionable tone.

After listening to Roman's Sword's words, the accusations from the nobles and the curses from the people gradually subsided.

Their eyes fell on Prince Henry again, with some curiosity in their eyes.

To be able to make Roman's Sword so angry, obviously...there is someone else who activates the Book of Contract.

And those who can directly summon the Roman Sword must be a member of the Roman family with a higher blood concentration!

But as we all know, the main branch of the Roman family has long been extinct. Whether it is Lilac, who currently rules Luo Xing, or Red Lilac, who is married to Lilac, they are all branches.

It is impossible to activate the Book of Contract by a simple branch. It may be possible for Roman descendants like Prince Henry who have strengthened their bloodline through marriage.

But since Prince Henry is not the real activator, it means that his bloodline may be as problematic as the rumors say. So... who is the real activator of the Book of Contract?

The royal family...could it be possible that they still control direct members of the Roman family?

Could it be that the direct members of the Roman family had no heirs?

Perhaps the people have not thought of so many things and are just curious about the real person who activates the Book of Contract.

But each of the Luoxing nobles was well-informed and quick-thinking, and they quickly thought of more things...

Apparently, Prince Henry is dead.

After today, his inheritance will definitely no longer be recognized by the Kingdom Council.
To be continued...
