After Carroll's scandal spread throughout the royal city of Monti, it caused quite a stir, and the second prince Peleg was imprisoned in the prison of the sacred temple on the spot.
It is no small matter that the royal bloodline has been tarnished.
In the eyes of the pope who holds the power of theology, this is more serious than a million orcs besieging King Monti's city.
Scandals cannot come out of nowhere, there must be reasons for them.
The Pope sent the Templar Knights to obtain the blood of the King and Peleg respectively, and submitted them to professional high-level magicians for verification.
The final result confirmed that Farrar did not possess Monty's bloodline. The newly acquired crown prince position was permanently deprived of him. His body was tattooed with the word "prison" and sent to the wilderness of Lingnan. He was deprived of all rights and was not allowed to set foot in the royal city again for the rest of his life.
The ups and downs of life came so fast that even Farrar himself could not accept them, as if he was having a nightmare from which he had not yet awakened.
One moment he was a promising heir apparent, and the next moment he became an exiled criminal, and his status plummeted.
After the incident was revealed, the Templars surrounded Queen Dale's palace as quickly as possible.
The Pope came to the scene in person and asked in public: "Queen Dale, you had an affair with Carol and soiled the royal bloodline. Can you plead guilty?"
"Your Holiness, I plead guilty! But all this is the crime of Lord Carroll. He got me drunk..."
Queen Dale was hesitant to say the next words and could not say them in public.
This is a great humiliation for her!
After returning from Star City that day, Queen Dale hid in her boudoir, eating fast all day long and copying divine decrees, hoping to cleanse the soul stained by Carol.
But paper can't cover up the fire after all, and the secret will eventually be revealed. It's just a matter of time.
"Remove the title of queen, demote her to a commoner, live in seclusion in the palace, and will not be allowed to leave even half a step from now on."
After the Pope announced the result of the trial, the Knights Templar sealed Queen Dale's palace, set up a magic barrier, and imprisoned her forever.
King Monti has been bedridden recently and is unable to govern the government. His responsibilities that originally belonged to him are now all taken over by the Pope alone, and he has even begun to interfere in the selection of the heir apparent.
"Which one of the children born to other concubines do you think is qualified to be the crown prince? But it doesn't matter. Even if it violates my wishes, it will not be punished."
The Pope summoned several of his closest magicians and wanted to seek their opinions.
Among them were Mr. Carl Ge of the Council and Principal Mani of Shenglan Magic Academy.
"Your Majesty the Pope, you obviously have the most orthodox direct bloodline, why would you choose a prince and princess who is a concubine?" Principal Mani was the first to speak, expressing his true thoughts.
"Direct bloodline, you mean Princess Leia?"
When Leah was mentioned, the Pope immediately became serious and did not want to continue talking about her.
"I think Princess Leia is the best candidate at the moment. The orcs are invading on a large scale, and we need to establish a prince early to resist foreign enemies."
"Orcs? A group of brainless beasts. Don't worry. I will send magicians to destroy them when I have time."
The Pope stroked his white beard, his face full of anger, and scolded: "This stinky girl Leah dared to preach freedom and equality in front of me, which is contrary to the divine right. I didn't do it for Monty's sake."
Kill her.
But death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be forgiven. She will never expect to become the crown prince of the kingdom in this life.
I would rather establish those unorthodox bloodlines than let her leave the sacred temple for even half a step and let her spend the rest of her life in the attic prison."
"But those princes and princesses who were born as concubines are mostly mediocre people. In terms of strength and talent, they are not as good as Princess Leia."
Karl stepped forward to rescue Principal Mani. He also hoped that the Pope would make Leah the crown prince.
"My wishes are not allowed to be violated by others." The Pope interrupted the two people's suggestions, "If anyone mentions Leah again, don't blame me for kicking you out."
After Principal Mani and Karl looked at each other, they both bowed and said: "My lord, I still insist on my opinion just now. You don't need to take action, we will leave on our own."
"Then get lost! I have made my own decision and I don't need your advice."
The Pope waved his purple and gold robe. Mani and Karl saluted and left one after another. However, before they could cross the threshold, they were stopped by King Monti's imperial guards.
But the leader was Gladstone.
"Commander Gladstone?"
Carl was shocked by Gladstone's sudden visit.
Ever since Gladstone broke up with Monty, he went to Petersburg. Since then, he has completely cut off contact with the royal city. He often evades the orders issued by the Pope and the King, but he just doesn't comply with them anyway.
After all, he has the advantage that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The handsome man is outside and the emperor's orders are not ignored.
The five major cities were in trouble, a thorn in their side, and they never took the divine power seriously. For a time, the Pope felt numb, but he was powerless.
A large number of Imperial Guards armed with long swords rushed into the hall and disarmed all the Templar Knights.
"No one is allowed to step out of the sacred temple without my order. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed first and then punished!"
Gladstone's eyes were filled with bloody murderous intent. He held the Redbud Knight's sword, which symbolized royal power, and walked slowly towards the main hall. "I'm here to pick up the crown prince of the Monty Kingdom. Please tell me where she is being held now."
"The Crown Prince? What a joke, I haven't chosen yet? Where are you going to pick up the Crown Prince?"
The four high-level magicians responsible for guarding stood in front of the Pope, "Gladstone, what do you want to do? This is a sacred temple, not a place for you to mess around."
"Whenever a war breaks out, all military power in Monty's kingdom must be handed over to me, Gladstone, to command, including the magicians of the sacred temple. Anyone who stands in my way will be regarded as treason."
Gladstone will pull out the Redbud Knight Sword and insert it into the ground, "This sword, plus me, is enough to represent the highest authority."
At this time, an earth magician used the earth escape technique to sneak into the ground and sneaked under Gladstone's feet, hoping to assassinate him.
"Commander Gladstone is right! Our Kingdom of Monty does have this rule. It has been passed down for more than two hundred years. No one can violate the agreement made by our ancestors." Principal Mani teleported to Gladstone with a water curtain barrier.
next to ston.
He slammed his foot to the floor with such arrogant force that he killed the magician hiding underground on the spot.
"Everyone, before I came, I had received an edict from King Monty, and he expressed his willingness to pass the throne of king to Princess Leia."
Gladstone took out the edict from his arms and opened it to face the Pope, "And I, Gladstone, the supreme commander of the National Knights, am willing to follow and protect King Monty's will to the death."
"Gladstone, you are really too arrogant. I hope you don't regret what happened today."
The Pope withdrew and left the hall, and four magicians protected him from leaving.
Although divine authority is supreme, if someone refuses to abide by it, even the Pope has nothing to do.
"Principal Mani, lead the way!"
Gladstone and Mani were old acquaintances a long time ago, and they didn't say too many polite words to him.
Under the guidance of Principal Mani, Gladstone led the Imperial Guards all the way to the Attic Prison, but all the Templars he encountered on the way were disarmed and detained by him.
The entire sacred church, including the Pope's palace, was under the control of the Imperial Guard.
