Griffin died. On the most glorious day of his life, he died in the hands of his former wife wearing a crown.
The context of this assassination is very clear.
Elena used her familiarity with the palace to disguise a group of assassins as palace guards. The unsuspecting silver mane king was attacked when he was drunk. He was controlled by magic and then stabbed at the key by a highly poisonous dagger.
The silver mane king died in the arms of Queen Carol.
Elena denounced Griffin for being unkind to herself, took all the responsibility on herself, and finally committed suicide with a dagger.
Danling City shook.
Those who are still intoxicated with the establishment of the Kingdom did not expect the bad news to come so quickly.
Their new king is dead. Who will sit on that throne?
Then the nobles and ministers found that the choice did not seem to be in the hands of the insiders of the silver mane palace, but depended on the attitude of the eternal leader.
Will Lord Yanxing support Carol to become queen because of his relationship with queen Carol?
But Queen Carol didn't give birth to the former king.
And the silver mane Kingdom has a more suitable candidate... Prince Kaya.
But Yanxing has not made a statement on this issue. He is very enthusiastic to help queen Carol prepare for the funeral of the former king.
Prince Kaiya kept his door closed because of excessive sadness, and kept receiving visiting nobles and ministers.
Then there was a rumor in the aristocratic circle that master Yanxing loved queen Carol.
Now the first king is killed, but Queen Carol is in full bloom.
If queen Carol can marry master Yanxing, she will certainly strengthen the relationship between the silver mane Kingdom and the eternal collar.
It seems that queen Carol will soon marry eternal collar.
Yanxing did not respond to the rumor, just as he acquiesced in the authenticity of the rumor.
Carol found Yanxing.
When the silver mane king was assassinated, Yanxing's words to her kept ringing in her ears these days.
"I want to know what happened? How did you know Elena was going to assassinate Griffin?"
At this time, Yanxing was feeding the birds outside the window. He sprinkled the bread crumbs evenly outside the windowsill and watched the birds peck.
"Kaya came to me... I told him that I liked you very much, but you loved his father. I chose to be your brother because I couldn't get you.
The rest, with your wisdom, combined with the recent rumors... Should know what happened? "
Carol quickly figured out the key after Yanxing's reminder.
Elena assassinated Griffin not because she was abandoned, but for her son Kaya.
Griffin died and married Yanxing himself.
He is the new king of the silver mane kingdom.
"I can't believe it... Griffin is his father and Elena is his mother. He... How, how can he do such a thing!"
Yanxing spilled all the remaining bread crumbs, patted the residue on his hand, turned to Carol and said, "how do I know what Kaya thinks? I just give him an incentive. How to make a decision is his own business.
Is it safe to be a Duke away from the politics of the silver mane Kingdom, or to fight for the throne at all costs?
It's beyond my expectation that Kaya can do so simply. "
Carol took a towel from the hand of the attendant of the alchemy puppet and gave it to Yan Xing. She asked, "I'm very unhappy that I can't kill Griffin myself. His death is too easy to make up for the trauma he has brought to me."
Yanxing wiped his hands, then looked at Carol and replied, "I think this is the best punishment for Griffin. On the day he became king, he was killed by his closest person.
I don't know what he was thinking when he stabbed the dagger into his chest. He must be very unwilling... "
Thinking about what Griffin would think when he died, Carol was in a better mood.
"Yes, there is no more cruel punishment than when he died. At that time, he opened his eyes and held my hand tightly. I can feel how unwilling he was to die.
It's just his death that makes my whole heart have no place to put... I've been living in disguise for revenge in recent years, and I've forgotten what I really look like?
I feel really tired... I don't know if what I've done is worth it. "
As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Carol's eyes.
Then she threw herself on Yanxing's shoulder and cried bitterly.
Revenge is her belief in supporting her to live. For revenge, she completely changed herself. But when I look back on myself, I find that I have lost a lot of things in the process of revenge.
Yanxing stood and let Carol cry. He couldn't feel Carol's mood, but he could feel her sadness and helplessness.
When Carol's mood eased a little, Yanxing patted her on the shoulder and said, "everything is over. You will decide what you want to become in the future.
If you feel unhappy here, I can take you back to eternal collar... "
Carol stepped back, looked at Yanxing and asked, "don't you need me to rule the silver mane kingdom for you?
This is our previous agreement. "
Yanxing gave Carol the towel and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that some things would develop so fast before.
If you don't want to sit on that throne, let Kaya sit.
If he doesn't obey, I'll change another king. I think Kaya knows that. He will only rely on me more than his father. "
When he came to Danling city this time, Yanxing saw his influence outside the eternal collar for the first time.
To be exact, he underestimated the impact of eternal alchemy on the world. Just as we are used to using mobile phones now, it is hard to imagine the status of mobile phones.
The extensive promotion of alchemy products for life by eternal link has a subversive impact on the cognition of the world.
The more noble people have more eternal alchemy items, the more they can feel its delicacy and magic, so as to raise a psychology that they can't fight it anyway.
Griffin had such a mentality that he decided to keep his favorite son away from the political center of the silver mane kingdom.
This practice also showed to the noble ministers that Yanxing was qualified to decide who was the king.
Carol also wants to understand this.
Whoever is on that throne should maintain the relationship between the present and the eternal.
"What can I do when I go to eternal collar?"
Looking back on what happened these days, Yanxing couldn't help sighing: "you can do whatever you want... Put down everything and start over. You are still young and can pursue a better life.
The court struggle is too cruel. "
Griffin's sudden death is bound to trigger a power struggle within the silver mane kingdom.
Yanxing can push Carol up and get rid of Kaya.
However, he cannot eliminate all those who covet rights.
If Carol stays, she will have to face all kinds of conspiracies.
Carol wiped the tears on her face with a towel, took a deep breath and regained her elegant appearance.
"What I lost can no longer be found. I am used to this life, and those who follow me place their hope on me, and I can't escape.
Please support me to become the queen of the silver mane kingdom.
I will continue to fulfill my promise to you, and the silver mane kingdom will unreservedly support the eternal collar. "
Yanxing didn't say much. Carol's future road was up to her.
"Well... If Kaya is obedient, it's better for me to rest assured that you are on the throne.
Catch Kaya as soon as you get back.
When Griffin's funeral is over, put Kaya on the gallows. "
Carol was shocked: "catch Kaya directly? But we don't have any evidence to prove that he was the mastermind of Griffin's assassination."
Yan Xing said: "we must be quick and ruthless in catching Kaya. If we let him run away, there will be endless trouble.
Charge, wait until you catch him.
If you want to convict him, you can always find his guilt. "
Carol nodded and replied, "yes, I'll go back and send someone to catch Kaya now."
After returning to the palace from the eternal concession, Carol immediately announced that she had the evidence that Kaya bewitched Elena to assassinate the former king, and sent the palace guard to arrest Kaya.
And Kaya also has a dream that Carol is taken away by Yanxing and becomes king himself.
The palace guards raided his residence. Kaya, who didn't know what happened, was subdued on the spot.
Then he was quickly taken into the dungeon of the king's palace and strictly guarded by heavy soldiers.
After the assassination of King Griffin, Prince Kaiya was arrested, which once again triggered a huge earthquake in Danling city.
And the reason why queen Carol ordered Kaya to be arrested was that Kaya ordered her mother to kill her father.
This... This is ridiculous.
But Lenovo recently spread rumors all over the city.
If Mrs. Carol is really taken away by Yanxing, Kaya is the biggest beneficiary of King Griffin's assassination.
Is this true!
Most people are on the sidelines.
It is not easy to make a premature statement about the assassination of the former king and the right to inherit. If you stand in the wrong team, you will lose your head.
But Kaya had ministers and nobles loyal to him. They gathered in the palace and asked queen Carol to show evidence.
Otherwise, release Prince Kaya immediately.
Carol ignored these people and concentrated on preparing for King Griffin's funeral.
These people contacted officials everywhere to put pressure on Carol.
Even to Yanxing.
"Master Yanxing." after several elderly nobles were received by Yanxing, they immediately asked, "the former king regards you as his closest brother. Why did you let the queen arrest Prince Kaiya.
And charged him with assassinating the former king.
How is that possible!
The first king is the father of Prince Kaiya. The relationship between the two of them has always been very good. "
Yanxing sat in his chair and looked at these indignant old men.
He said, "this is your internal affair. How can I, an outsider, get involved in the capture of Duke Kaya.
Since queen Carol ordered the arrest of Duke Kaya, she must have enough evidence.
You can go back and wait for the news of the palace. What are you doing here? "
An old nobleman stood up and said, "master Yanxing, we all know that you have great influence in Danling city. Queen Carol would never dare to arrest Prince Kaya so recklessly without your permission.
However, Prince Kaiya is the first heir to the throne. Are you not afraid of the collapse of this country if you convict him without evidence? "
"You want evidence?"
"Yes... If you can't produce conclusive evidence, release Prince Kaya immediately!"
"What are you and dare to threaten me!" Yanxing shouted angrily: "don't think I don't know... Where did the rumors about me and queen Carol come from.
My sister and I are innocent. You bastards say we are a couple. I can see what you think.
Sister Carol doesn't want to cause a bloody storm in the court because of this. She doesn't want to involve too many innocent people to die with Kaya.
You want to see evidence?
sure!
I don't know which of you really participated in the assassination of King Griffin, but as long as the evidence is made public, the people inside are wronged or not.
Must copy the family and destroy the family.
Do you still want to see it? "
Yan Xing's words startled the old nobles and almost fell to the ground.
They have indeed been summoned by Kaya these days.
Kaya let them do things, which is really spreading rumors about Yanxing and queen Carol.
At that time, Kaya vowed to these nobles that Yanxing had a very keen love for Queen Carol.
Now that the former king has died, Queen Carol is alone.
If Yanxing can bring Carol back to the eternal leader, the throne is his Kaiya.
What Yanxing said to Carol at the coronation ceremony is almost equivalent to confession, which has been spread through various channels.
So the nobles who followed Kaya believed in it.
They also thought that Kaya could inherit the throne and prosper with himself and his family.
So he worked hard to spread rumors and asked Yanxing to pick up Carol as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect it to become such a deadly handle.
These nobles didn't know whether Kaiya had ordered the assassination of the former king. But it is true that they accepted Kaya's interview and spread rumors about Yanxing and queen Carol.
If Kaiya is really the mastermind of the assassination of the former king, if he goes to see Kaiya these days, he is bound to be involved in this big case.
Once the evidence is made public, even a thousand mouths can't explain it clearly.
The principal and accessory of assassinating the king must be dead, and the whole family will be involved.
Even if they are not exterminated, future generations will bear the stain of "regicide" for generations.
Did Kaya organize the assassination?
These nobles are not sure.
But if Elena kills King Griffin for abandoning herself, the reason is indeed far fetched.
Aristocratic marriage is normal, and everything is political service. Elena has no reason to take herself in to kill Griffin.
In this world, Kaya is the only one who can let Elena assassinate Griffin and choose to commit suicide.
A mother can really do anything for her children.
In addition, Kaya's performance after the death of King Griffin is also a planned competition for the throne.
Is this what a normal son would do?
The old nobles' backs were cold, and Yan Xing's faces were sweating.
If Yanxing and Carol don't have evidence of a real hammer, they can fight for Kaya.
If they really have evidence, they and the whole family should get in.
