Working Prophet.

Chapter 554 I Have Witnesses
The head of the imperial guard continued, "At that time, there were not many people who had the opportunity to poison wine without arousing suspicion. I think the murderer was among them."

If Durham's earlier statement had been merely rude, his present statement was downright audacious.

Because he almost pointed directly at the few people who were closest to Edward II at that time.

This includes Garth who is currently sitting on the Bone Throne.

The latter looked at Du Lun not only coldly, but also with a faint killing intent.

But the head of the royal guard didn't seem to feel the threat in Garth's eyes, he paused and said, "Two days ago I went to Lard Street and found a merchant who sold poison.

"According to him, His Majesty was poisoned by a poison called the Blood Feast. This poison came from a small sect called the Blood Moon Society. It first appeared in the Western Region and killed hundreds of nobles and others in one go. Several high priests of Silvermoon Church.

"I believe that many of the people present today have heard of this appalling incident, and the person who bought the poison is suspected to be from the Wendell family."

"You are slandering!" Earl Clyde blushed and scolded angrily, "My family has always been loyal to the royal family, how could I do such a rebellious thing, if you talk nonsense, I will fight you !"

Du Lun didn't quarrel with Clyde, but said calmly, "Sir Clyde, you bet heavily on that Wing Race contestant not long after the tournament started, right?"

Earl Clyde's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to deny it. He consciously did it very carefully. He didn't go when he placed the bet, but found a middleman to buy it for him.

But there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and it is still in Lionheart Castle. Since Du Lun dared to say that, he must have some evidence in his hands.

In the final analysis, he was too careless and greedy before, and he shouldn't be obsessed with money and cause trouble, but it's too late to regret it now.

Earl Clyde cheered up, "I can swear on the honor of the Wendell family, I never thought about and would not assassinate His Majesty, it was he who gave me this job as a swordsmanship teacher when I was most difficult, I will always remember this kindness in my heart.”

"I trust your oath."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the head of the royal guard did not refute, but nodded and said, "I believe you never thought of assassinating His Majesty, but the people behind you probably don't think so."

"Priest Cornelia performed a divine spell four days ago, penetrated into your heart, saw the secret you kept hidden in your heart, and also had a premonition of the tragedy that was about to happen.

"That's why she came to the arena early the next morning and warned His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't take Priest Cornelia's warning to heart this time because of his trust in that man.

"Because His Majesty would never have imagined that his dearest relative, the most favored son, would collude with those Yi clansmen to murder his biological father."

After all, the chief guard of the imperial forest said these words, and then raised his head to look at the figure on the bone pedestal.

As the eyes of the two met, the hall fell into silence.

For a long time no one spoke.

But this time Gals was not as furious as before, and just looked coldly at the head of the royal guard at the foot of the stone steps.

"You are crazy. Your current mental state is no longer suitable for continuing to investigate the death of the late emperor."

"I'm not crazy." Duran shook his head, "And I've completed almost all the investigations."

"What investigation, I murdered my father?" A sneer emerged from the corner of Gals's mouth, "I just listened to your nonsense from the beginning to the end, you ask the people present, how many people believe you? Ridiculous conjecture."

After Gals finished speaking, Du Lun glanced around, but no one agreed.

Everyone he saw either lowered their heads or looked away, even the imperial ministers whom he had placed high hopes on were no exception.

Du Lun was not discouraged, and continued, "I have witnesses."

"Who?"

"Priest Cornelia can confirm my words. She is a priest of the Church of Life. Everyone in the capital knows everyone. As a priest, she will never lie."

This time, Du Lun's words shook many people, because, as the Chief of the Royal Guard said, Priest Cornelia had a great reputation among the nobles and commoners of Lionheart Castle.

If she is willing to stand up and testify for Du Lun, then Gals can no longer treat Du Lun's words as falsehoods and deal with them lightly.

This can also be seen from Earl Clyde's slightly panicked expression.

However, Gals didn't seem to be worried at all. He leaned forward a little bit, held his chin and said, "Really, then where is she?"

"I don't know." Du Lun took a deep breath, "I made an appointment with her to come to King's Landing Tower to meet you, but I didn't see her this morning, which is why I was late.

"I have searched around the city and asked a few of her followers, but no one can tell where she is, since the priest of Cornelia disappeared last night, and the guards guarding the city He also said he hadn't seen her leave the city.

"So I have reason to suspect that you sent someone to arrest Priest Cornelia in advance because you were worried that your murder of His Majesty would be revealed."

"You are really sick, Sir Durham." Garth said softly, "Does it mean that as long as someone doesn't want to see you and believes your crazy and funny imagination, you will think that I kidnapped him."

"Your Highness," the head of the royal guard took another half step forward, and said sincerely, "Priest Cornelia has an extraordinary status, and even His Majesty respects her very much, and half of the people in the city are believers of the Goddess of Life." , and please be sure not to hurt her, so as not to cause a catastrophe."

"Forget it." Gals seemed to have lost all interest suddenly, and waved his hands, "I still have to continue the coronation ceremony, and I don't have time to quarrel with a lunatic. You can go, since you have served the royal family for so many years For the sake of it, I won't embarrass you either.

"Just hand over your title of nobility as you said, leave the capital, and never come back."

"But... the murderer who murdered His Majesty has not received the punishment he deserved." The head of the imperial guard said after a long silence.

Gals seemed to be amused by this stubborn knight, put away all the jokes on his face, and said solemnly.

"I gave you a chance. You asked for it. If I can prove that your accusations against me are all slander, you will also be whipped according to the laws of the empire."

Du Lun nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

After saying this word, he saw Gals and said to the subordinates beside him, "You, go and invite the priest of Cornelia, now, immediately."
