Chapter 291 The Secret Revealed by Duke Holman
Duke Holman, one of the twelve founding dukes of the Glory Oath Empire, has the title of Violet Duke and is the only duke whose title has nothing to do with family power.

The reason is that the Holman family is full of handsome men and beautiful women, generation after generation.

For this reason, the first generation of the Duke of Holman was beaten by his brothers who could only give up his favorite "Duke of Mighty" and accepted the "Duke of Violet" with tears.

After hearing this story, the descendants of the Holman family all agreed that it was right for their ancestors to be beaten, and they were sincerely grateful to the ancestors of the other twelve families.

However, the "mighty bloodline" was preserved due to the unyielding insistence of the first Duke of Holman.

The mighty bloodline gave the Holman family the purest physical strength. While they had the enviable figure, they also possessed unimaginable strength. If they competed in the most direct power output, even the War Mad Duke was no match for the Violet Duke.

During the Red Rebellion, the Violet Family chose to marry the Bradley Family and stood firmly in the camp of the Imperial Army.

Over the next few hundred years, the Violet family and the Bradley family had many intermarriages, and blood ties closely connected the two families.

The current Duke of Holman is the uncle of the eldest prince and the third prince.

Of course, he is also the uncle of the deceased crown prince.

Helot didn't know why Duke Holman suddenly wanted to see him, but since the other party had invited him, he must go and meet him.

Following the corridor on the servants' level, leaving the main hall and passing through a long corridor, Helot met Duke Holman in a lounge.

He had the Holman family's standard purple hair, a carefully trimmed beard, deep eyes, and an angular face that exuded masculine charm.

A pure white dress with silver patterns on the shoulders.

Seeing Helot come in, Duke Holman stood up and bowed, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Claulund..."

Helot returned the greeting: "I am glad to see you too, Duke Holman."

"Please sit down!" While inviting Helot to sit down, Duke Holman waved to the servant to let him go out. After the door was closed, he sat down and said to Helot: "First of all, I want to apologize to you. When you first returned to the Covenant City publicly, I sent people to monitor you. Fortunately, they were driven back by Princess Maelubelli."

"That happened a long time ago, and you sent the guards because you were concerned about my safety."

Helot didn't think that Duke Holman had called him here just to apologize. If he wanted to apologize, he would have apologized long ago. He didn't ask the purpose of this meeting, but waited for Duke Holman to tell him himself.

The banquet is about to begin, and as the only duke in Covenant City today, Duke Holman will definitely not be absent.

Therefore, Duke Holman did not say any more nonsense to test the issue, and asked directly: "Your Majesty asked you to investigate the murder of the crown prince?"

"Yes." Helot asked, "Do you have any clues to tell me, Your Excellency the Duke?"

Duke Holman showed a very tangled expression, and after hesitating for a while, he said with recollection: "Aleister is very good, and I have always believed that he will become a great emperor of the empire, and his achievements may even surpass your majesty.

But he died so inexplicably... I was very sad. I often dreamed of my dead sister, who asked me why I didn't protect her son. So I always wanted to investigate who killed Aleister, but His Majesty stopped my investigation and sealed up everything related to Aleister's death.

These things should all be in your hands, right?"

Helot observed Duke Holman and answered casually: "Your Majesty gave me some things related to the case, but I don't think it was all."

Duke Holman asked, "Are there the tungsten needles that killed Aleister?"

Helot asked in return: "Will those tungsten needles be helpful in investigating this case?"

Duke Holman shook his head, looking confused. "I don't know. I only know that everyone who came into contact with those tungsten needles died, including the senior court physicians. I feel that His Majesty concealed the cause of the Crown Prince's death not only for the sake of the stability of the empire, but also for other deeper reasons."

Helot asked, "What do you think is the reason?" Duke Holman looked at Helot and said seriously, "Are you doubting me? If there is one person in this world who wants Aleister to live the most, that person must be me! I am his uncle, and I am the only one who will support him without reservation!"

Helot said in a relaxed manner: "Duke Holman, to be honest with you... I know there must be many stories behind this case, and any one of them may cost me my life. Therefore, I do not intend to find out the truth. I think His Majesty will not punish me for not being able to find the murderer."

"If you don't want to check, just give me everything His Majesty gave you and I'll check it out!"

"I'm sorry, Duke Holman, I can't give you the things. You will cause me trouble... The banquet is about to begin, and we should wait for His Majesty to arrive in the main hall."

Helot stood up and was about to leave, but Duke Holman suddenly said, "Those tungsten needles contain the secret of the golden bloodline. Whether you investigate the murder of Aleister or not, Bradley will not let you go!"

Helot stopped and asked Duke Holman: "It seems that you know what secrets those tungsten needles hide."

"Aleister has dual bloodline..."

Although Duke Holman's answer was irrelevant, he successfully aroused Helot's interest.

He sat back down. “Are you sure?”

"I watched Aleister grow up, of course I'm sure!"

Bloodline is a very special power system. It is passed down through the direct bloodline of a family, and all direct blood relatives can obtain the complete power of bloodline. In the process of reproduction of female family members and collateral descendants, the family bloodline will gradually fade and cannot exert the full power of bloodline.

When two bloodlines are mixed together, the purer bloodline will be preserved, and this is the uniqueness of bloodline.

But there are always exceptions. Although double bloodline is theoretically impossible, there are sporadic legends of double bloodline in history, but the authenticity of these legends cannot be confirmed.

If Areister really has dual bloodline, then it would explain why his strength increased so quickly.

Helot asked: "Do you think the Crown Prince's death...is related to his dual bloodline?"

Duke Holman asked in return: "If Aleister becomes the emperor of the empire, will his son's bloodline be golden blood? Or mighty blood?"

This is a taboo question!
The probability of having double blood is so low, the probability of Arestar's son being of normal single blood is very high, and the probability of inheriting golden blood is only 50%. If he is unlucky and has several sons of "mighty blood", who will own the Glory Oath Empire?

Helot asked: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Crown Prince is of dual descent?"

"He didn't know at first. The Holman family's bloodline is not obvious externally, and golden blood also greatly enhances strength. The first person to discover Aleister's dual bloodline was my sister, and then she told me about it.

We decided not to tell His Majesty about this, because Aleister was the second prince, and the crown prince should be the eldest prince according to convention, and he was also the son of my sister. No one expected that His Majesty would give the crown prince to Aleister... At that time, my sister had already passed away, and I kept this matter a secret. "

Double bloodline is a good thing for an individual, but for a family, it means the bloodline is polluted.

The royal family especially values ​​the purity of bloodline.

For the sake of Aleister's growth without prejudice, it was understandable that the late Queen and Duke Holman kept this matter secret.

But Aleister was named the crown prince, and this became troublesome!

Sure enough, the case became more dangerous the more we investigated it.

When Duke Holman knew that Aleister would be named crown prince, why didn't he tell Emperor Bradley about his dual bloodline?
Why did he tell me this secret?
Did Emperor Bradley know that Areister was of dual descent?
If so, when did he know?

Oh...it's terrible!
