Chapter 677 Imprisoned again

Caught in prison again, Eden stared at the ceiling above his head silently.

At that time, rituals restricting the ancient words had already been set up in the palace, and outside the palace, more priests who mastered the path of divine creation were secretly ambushing them. After weighing the balance, Iden understood that even if he resisted, it would be difficult to escape from here.

Since Prince Flo's confession only mentioned Iden, most of Althea's other entourage were released, and only a few were imprisoned with Iden.

Eden guessed that this was because Prince Devine did not want to escalate the situation, let alone anger the empire. For the empire, if the princess and most of the entourage were arrested, it would undoubtedly damage the empire's face and interests. The convoy The leader of the army, Bright, would certainly order the siege of the prison and rescue the princess.

However, if only a few people such as Eden are arrested, then after weighing the pros and cons, the leader of the convoy, Brett, will definitely abandon them and choose to protect himself wisely, thus showing that this assassination has nothing to do with the empire.

When thinking of this, Eden suddenly realized that it was impossible to count on Deschanel's royal guards to save him.

"The only good thing is that... Althea should be fine. Prince Devine doesn't dare to do anything to her."

Althea...and Verdo, if the two of them are not controlled, there is still hope for everything.

Compared with the last time he was taken to jail, Eden was calmer this time.

After all, the last time, I didn't know that someone would run back and forth for me, and I was already prepared to be martyred.

"Prince Devine must be related to the Last Shaman Society. He is most likely a member of this organization."

Eden thought so in his mind.

He recalled that when he and Althea were leaving the place where the shamans gathered, Prince Dwayne happened to show up there with someone.

In addition, the interrogation led by the royal family, Prince Flo's "testimony", the chronic poison in the king's drink, and various coincidences all point to Prince Devine.

So what to do now?

Testify against Prince Devane?

"No, no one will believe me."

Even if he claims that the real murderer is none other than Prince Devine, and he is most likely a member of the Last Shaman Society, no one will pay attention to his statement. They will only regard it as crude. A clumsy frame-up.

Moreover, doing so will make Prince Devine nervous and secretly send someone to get rid of him.

"Besides...the Shaman Council...maybe they don't value me that much."

After recalling for a moment, Eden made a guess.

He almost never confronts the Ultimate Shaman Society head-on, but only pursues this mysterious organization secretly.

Rather than being regarded as an enemy by the Last Shaman, he was more like being used as a scapegoat by Prince Dwayne for murdering the king.

"If I am regarded as an enemy by the Last Shaman, Prince Dwayne should get rid of me directly in the palace, so as to avoid long nights and endless dreams."

When thinking of this, Eden was sure that there should still be hope for him to be rescued.

..........................................

Althea looked at the street through the window of her study.

She was keenly aware that more and more people were monitoring her house these days.

There is no doubt that Prince Devine ordered to strengthen the blockade of himself and his residential area, and other Deschanel people were also included in the scope of supervision.

"Your Highness, as you expected, Prince Devine declared that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Sister Cassandra reported quietly.

Prince Devine did not dare to provoke the empire, and he did not want the empire's army and night watchmen to be involved, so he just sealed off the residential area where Althea was located and declared that the murderer was Iden. In this case, not to mention the emperor, those who accompanied him The night watchmen of the convoy did not have to fight for a pawn.

This method of handling was very clever, but it also made Althea conclude that there must be something wrong with Prince Osenko.

If Prince Devine really wanted to find the murderer, punish the assassin by any means, and avenge his father, he wouldn't be afraid of so much.

Prince Dwayne is so restrained, on the one hand because of the power of the empire, and on the other hand, because he knows very well that Eden is the scapegoat.

"there's one more thing."

Sister Cassandra spoke hesitantly when she mentioned it.

"Say it, don't worry about anything." Althea said.

Sister Cassandra took a deep breath and said:

"Cassius V... sadly passed away this morning."

Althea's pupils shrank sharply, and her white hands trembled slightly.

"what?"

"His Majesty Osenko died because he hit a pillow when he turned around. Prince Devine declared that it was an accident and a misfortune, and the Lord Privy Seal also supported this view."

"Damn it!"

There was a little anger in Althea's voice.

It was really unimaginable for her that the king of Osenko, Uncle Cassius, who had visited the capital of the empire, died so suddenly.

"There must be something fishy about this, it must be Devine..."

Althea paused.

"But... who would believe it? Who would have thought that the heir to the kingdom would murder his biological father?"

If Prince Devine had a long-standing rift with his father, it would be okay if the father and son were at odds. But the problem is that there have never been such rumors in the kingdom. People who are against the king or those who support the king all think the same way. They are the perfect example of a noble father-son relationship.

Before Althea had time to feel sad about the death of Cassius V, she silently clenched her fists and thought of another thing.

"Uncle Cassius is dead... In this case, Eden will be in danger."

Sister Cassandra heard this and shook her head in pity.

She knew the meaning of Althea's words.

If Cassius V is not dead, after he wakes up, Althea is sure to persuade him to re-open the case and give Eden a fair result.

However, Cassius V is dead, which means that there is no possibility for Iden to escape guilt. Even if the entire kingdom knows that Iden is not a murderer and is an innocent person, the king cannot be in vain like this. When someone dies, someone has to pay the price.

What's more, the entire kingdom does not believe that Eden is really an innocent person. People are either deceived by Prince Devine's clever words, or they side with the prince after weighing the pros and cons.

Althea took a deep breath, punched the window frame, and then said forcefully:

"This wedding can't go on any longer. Let Bright organize the royal guard..."

The nun was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the princess by the shoulders.

"Does His Highness want Bright to go to prison?!"

Althea shook her off violently and asked:

"Do you still want me to marry a murderer? Cassandra!"

For the first time in years, Althea addressed Sister Cassandra by her first name.

Sister Cassandra knew the princess's indignation, and she said slowly:

"Your Highness, I am on your side. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. Except for God and your mother, no one has been by your side like me.

I know why you are angry, but you have to calm down. Brett will not listen to your orders. He is not on your side, he is on the emperor's side. "

Sister Cassandra's patient words finally calmed Althea down. She took a few deep breaths and sneered:

"Yes, he is my father's Paladin."

Not many people know Deschanel's The Emperor better than Althea.

The powerful monarch has always sought to make Osenko a tributary of the empire. Once successful, it will be one of his greatest political achievements since he came to power.

Althea squeezed her thighs angrily, and then slowly sat on the chair.

"Now...what should we do?"

The princess muttered helplessly.
