Chapter 121 Is His Majesty still alive?

The pattern of a rose-red disc was engraved on a huge flag that stretched for dozens of meters.

The golden and white flag fluttered in the wind and stood in front of the magnificent palace.

That is the holy symbol of Lathander, the Lord of the Morning.

Below the flag, a priest covered in a golden and white hood was surrounded by several majestic paladins. He lifted his hood, revealing an old but wise face.

“Dear guest of the Church of Dawn, respected Bishop Conrad, on behalf of His Majesty the King, the royal family would like to pay the highest respects to the Lord of Dawn.” Regent Chief Justice Leorel stood in front of the old man and said with a smile.

“Oh, and you, respected Bishop Lawrence. It’s rare to see distinguished guests from the Church of Knowledge in Imbutu.”

Leorel then seemed to have just remembered something and apologetically welcomed Bishop Lawrence standing beside him. This different treatment made Bishop Lawrence snort coldly, but he did not get angry. After all, the protagonist today was Bishop Conrad in front of him.

Bishop Conrad nodded politely, then smiled and said, “The last time I came to Imbtu was fifty years ago. Haha, I was still a young boy at that time, following my mentor to preach in Gobelan. I didn’t expect that fifty years would pass by and all the things I was familiar with would be gone.”

Leorel smiled calmly and said, “What happened in Gobern City is indeed a tragedy. I never thought that my sister would be a spy for the Red Robe Wizard. I am so disappointed. I never thought that she would become a traitor who betrays her country and her people!”

Bishop Conrad’s eyes gleamed with a gleam of light: “Oh yes, about your sister Mitzili. This is the main reason why I came here, Your Excellency the Grand Chancellor.”

He stroked his graying beard with a smile and patted Leorel on the shoulder.

“You have a good sister, Your Excellency the Grand Justice. Fifty thousand people, fifty thousand followers of the Lord of Dawn, with the help of your sister, fell into the mouths of the demons of the abyss. Do you know that this incident caused a great response in the church?”

“Red robe wizard, hehe.”

After Conrad finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and became extremely cold.

“I have been investigating in Gobenland for so long, but why haven’t I found any clues about the Red Robe Mage? On the contrary, the royal family’s letter of authorization for her to be stationed in Gobenland is well preserved!”

Nemesis was trying not to laugh in his heart. Here they are, all of them are great actors in the Dawn Church. If Bishop Lawrence had not told him how Bishop Conrad had destroyed all the evidence with his own hands, he might have believed it.

Sure enough, Conrad’s words made the faces of the ministers following Leorel change.

The Dawn Church is coming at them with great force. It is obvious that they want to shift the blame to the royal family. Not to mention others, the military minister is obviously more clear about this matter, which can be seen from his changing expression at this moment.

On the other side, those who were opposed to Leorel and the ministers, including Prince Ryan and Duke Gavin, stood there calmly and did not participate. After all, they had the advantage now. It was a pure advantage. All they had to do was follow the big man and cling to him.

Nemesis was curious and began to inquire about what these people were thinking at the moment. Leorel’s memory was indestructible, but the other ministers were obviously unable to resist the invasion of his mental power.

“Damn it, Leorel, that bastard, he clearly said that the Dawn Church would not really do anything. How can he just let it go in this situation? I’m done for. I personally sent General Cologne to Goebenland to die. If he’s discovered, I’m done for.”

Nemesis raised his eyebrows at the military minister’s inner thoughts. Wasn’t it an accident that General Cologne went to Goebbels?
That’s right. If I’m not here, General Cologne will be the biggest obstacle to the Cel army. Of course, he must be eliminated in advance. Nemesis thought so in his heart, and looked at the memories of other ministers again, but there was nothing good to see. Everyone had the same idea as the military minister. Why did Leorel clearly promise that nothing would happen, but the attitude of the Dawn Church was completely opposite?

Yes, why? What on earth does Leorel rely on?
Nemesis suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

At the same time, under the questioning of Bishop Conrad, Leorel shook his head helplessly and said, “You mean, the royal family themselves led this disaster? This is really alarmist. What good will this do us? Your behavior makes me suspect that you are using personal excuses to persecute the royal nobles!”

Bishop Conrad laughed contemptuously. He wanted to pull himself onto the ship of the God of Nobility? Long before this investigation team set out, the Dawn Church had already discussed it with the God of Nobility Church.

“Persecution of the royal family? Your Excellency the Chief Justice really put a big accusation on me. I came here today, and basically all the churches know that the priest of the God of Nobility did not appear here. Don’t you know what it means?”

“You are a traitor who is colluding with the devil!” Conrad suddenly accused in a harsh voice.

Leorel remained calm in the face of this verbal attack: “Do you have any evidence to prove that this was done by the royal family?”

Bishop Conrad sneered. He really had no evidence, because the red-robed wizard was the one who did it, but he knew how to make a fuss.

“Evidence? Today, right now, immediately, let the King of Imbutu, His Majesty Saint Delis, appear before us and tell me in person that he did not preside over this conspiracy, then I will believe it.”

Leorel frowned and said, “As you know, His Majesty the King is seriously ill and cannot move. He is not fit to see anyone.”

“Then I’ll go see him!” Bishop Conrad immediately said in a loud voice.

Leorel sighed, as if helpless, and the others also felt that he was at his wits’ end. Bishop Conrad even raised the corner of his mouth, ready to begin sentencing the “royal family’s guilt.”

“Well, His Majesty will come to see you.”

His words stunned everyone, whether it was Prince Ryan or the ministers around Leorel, they couldn’t believe Leorel’s answer.

Let His Majesty come out? Can he really come out? Is he not dead? Has he really been seriously ill in recent years?

Countless questions arose in everyone’s mind, but no one spoke.

Yes, these nobles all believe in conspiracy theories. Before today, no one believed that the king was still alive. They just thought that the king might have died a long time ago, but the queen’s family did not want to lose power, so they kept using this statement to avoid the truth of the king’s death being discovered.

But now Leorel actually said that His Majesty the King would appear? Did he really have to be too ill to see anyone in the past few years?
For the first time, these nobles wondered if they were being too conspiratorial.

“What did you say?” Conrad was also a little confused. He looked back at Bishop Lawrence and exchanged glances, as if to say, “This is different from what you said, brother!”
