CH 55

The Jackson family is a veteran aristocrat of the empire, with a wide network of contacts and many vassals. It was completely different from the small family that was wiped out by Yelder before. Even the king of the empire felt a headache for the scene in front of him. 

Glancing at the silver-haired Pope with a frosty face, Lasilis coughed twice, and after drawing everyone’s attention, he spoke slowly. “Phil and Ruyi are both members of the empire. I will handle this matter and promise justice to Ruyi,” he said.    

“Luyi is my disciple, a member of the Holy Palace.” Yelder didn’t take a step back.    

King Lasilis: “She is the Earl of the empire.”    

“Oh! An Earl with an empty territory and no real power.” Yelder taunted without hesitation, not saving face for King Lasilis at all. 

But even so, the other party didn’t dare to break the skin with him. No one wanted to fight against the Holy Palace of Light. With the strength accumulated for thousands of years, it must be far above the empire. 

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Catherine suddenly interrupted. “Father, His Excellency, I have a proposal. I wonder if the two of you can listen to me.”    

Yelder: “Huh?”

King Lasilis : “Tell me.”

“The prisoner, so far, we have not investigated the warehouse of the Jackson family, and why did Phil do this?” Catherine sneered at the stiff Phil, her eyes were like poisoned knives, “I suspect, There is an even bigger conspiracy behind this, and it is proposed that all members of the Jackson family be detained and tried later.”    

King Lasilis: “…”    

Yelder thought for a moment: “Yes.”    

“Of course, in order to let the Pope Rest assured, my lord, these sinners will be taken care of by the knights of the Holy Palace.” Catherine slowly made up the knife.    

This is a good way to say that they are detained, but they are all in prison. Will the people of the Holy Palace release them? hehe! No matter how you go, it’s a dead end.    

At this moment, Phil’s face was gray and pale, and it looked like a corpse. He bit his cheek, summoned up his courage and said suddenly: “This matter is all my fault. I couldn’t get what I asked for. Love gave birth to hatred, so I did such an outrageous thing. The elders of the family didn’t know about it at all.” ——”    

“Hey? Your lovely fiancée is still here, is it really okay to say this now?” Princess Catherine interrupted the man’s words, looked down at his embarrassed appearance, and felt a burst of pleasure in her heart.    

What happened this time, even if Angus didn’t die, he would still have to peel off a layer of skin severely.    

“It’s okay.” 

Lingnuo, who had been standing on the side, her body stiff and unable to speak, showed a melancholy and pitiful smile: “Actually, I always knew that Phil still loved Miss Yiyi, and the reason why he got engaged to me was because of that. In order to deal with the family.”    

At this point, she still wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes decently: “But true love is innocent, I have discussed this matter with him a long time ago, as long as he chases Miss Yiyi, I will quit voluntarily, and wish them happiness.”    

Catherine: “…Miss Lingnuo is really kind and generous?”    

Lingnuo’s words are supporting evidence that Phil murdered for love, trying to get rid of the Jackson family.    

This is obviously to find that Phil must be hopeless, so he abandons the past to save the family.    

People in this world have a long lifespan, especially those who know magic and are powerful. It is no problem to live for two to three hundred years. The Jackson family has enough time to cultivate a new heir.    

The members of the Jackson family are also good people. Seeing the situation, they all echoed Lingnuo’s words, crying and screaming that the family was unlucky and wanted to expel Phil from the family.    

He is clearly the noble duke of the empire, but he looks like a street shrew at the moment, which makes King Lasilis a headache.    

“Yelder, now that you have the testimony, if you execute Phil, the matter will be over.” He made peace with it, “Jackson is not disciplined well, and you will be fined for a year of taxes, and you will retreat at home and think about it.”    

“Thank you Your Majesty’s grace.” The patriarch of the Jackson family, a middle-aged man who looked only about thirty years old, climbed down the stairs without hesitation.    

Yelder: “Hehe.”    

Catherine also had a headache. For her, the longer the matter of Ruyi’s injury was delayed, the better. 

At this time, if the battle is resolved quickly, there will be no benefit at all. She could see all these things clearly, so why couldn’t Yelder fail to understand them.    

The man moved extremely fast, walking around the Jackson family almost in the blink of an eye. 

After everyone present reacted, they stared at the empty hall in bewilderment. “Where are people?” King Lasilis yelled.    

Yelder: “I have sent them all to the dungeon of the Holy Palace. Anyone who hurt Ruyi must not be spared.” When he said this, his expression was calm, as if he was just stating a fact.

The more frightened King Lasilis was. 

Yelder noticed Catherine’s delicate expression, and felt more depressed in his heart. It was because of this woman that his little apprentice was injured. Not in the mood to entangle with the people of the empire anymore, he directly returned to his palace in the Holy Palace with a space scroll.    

He summoned the archbishop in red and told him about the Jackson family being sent to the dungeon with a scroll: “They are prisoners of the Holy Palace, and they must not be taken away by the people of the empire, do you understand?”    

“Yes, Your Majesty.”    

“Continue to investigate along the Jackson family, focusing on investigating Angus Lasilis. As for Catherine… help if you can.”

Yelder’s voice became lower and lower, and in the end he was talking to himself “She’s from Ruyi after all.”    

Huh! accurate.    

“Obey.” The archbishop in red got the order, and quickly withdrew to torture Phil and the others.    

Yelder returned to his palace along the snow. The originally straight footsteps stopped in an instant, turned around, and came to the side hall on the right.

Before the person walked over, he heard the girl’s crisp chirping voice.    

It’s not Ruyi’s. Noisy. Pushing open the door, a silver-haired young man stood at the threshold, his white robe was spotless, forming a silent background with the ice and snow behind him, he interjected with a natural expression, “What are you talking about?”   

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty!” Ling covered her mouth, her eyes widened, her face was flushed red, and she looked very surprised.    

She saluted in a panic, twisted her dress, and talked shyly, completely different from her cute and straightforward appearance before.    

There was a sneering smile on the corner of Ruyi’s mouth, she was thinking why the other man had already left before, and Ling insisted on staying? 

She kept looking for topics, so it was all for this moment?    

Pope Yelder.    

Thinking about it carefully, this guy really has the charm to attract thousands of young girls. His appearance, status, and strength are all top-notch.    

Yelder: “Who are you?”    

Ling Wenyan showed a shocked look, tears welled up in her eyes, and revealed her identity aggrieved.    

“Oh, it’s you.” Yeld nodded, and under the girl’s expectant eyes, he said very ruthlessly: “It’s getting late, Ruyi needs to rest, if there is nothing else, then leave.”
