Chapter 509 Distrust

When the body of Shenlan, one of the candidates for the executioner, was carried out, it declared the end of the organized attack on the palace by the executioners.

All the people in the Queen's chamber were killed.

Among them are Queen Astrid and Prince Leon Bradley.

Announcement: The whole country is in mourning, and all celebrations and performances are suspended.

After the war, Duke Claulund and the third prince Terenas were summoned by Emperor Bradley.

In less than an hour, Emperor Bradley seemed to have aged more than ten years. He sat there expressionlessly, his right hand twitching uncontrollably.

Terenas didn't know the truth, and he sat upright, not daring to breathe.

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Bradley asked, "The executioner was able to sneak into the palace and cause the death of... the queen and the prince. The palace guards and the royal guards have an unshirkable responsibility. Your General Police Department is also responsible. How did they enter the Covenant City and lie in wait?"

Terenas replied hastily, "Father! The Covenant City is too big, and the General Police Department does not have the manpower to check every person entering the city. But I guarantee that the prisoners did not enter the Covenant City on a large scale this time. This was an infiltration by a small group of elites.

When I return, I will immediately increase the intensity of screening for people entering the city to prevent similar incidents from happening again.”

Emperor Bradley was just venting his anger.

Covenant City is an international metropolis with sea routes, railways and roads connecting to the hinterland of the empire, and airships taking off and landing constantly. There are hundreds of thousands of people entering and leaving Covenant City every day, and the imperial military police cannot check everyone. Moreover, excessive scrutiny will cause panic and be detrimental to trade and production.

"The intensity of the investigation must be increased to ensure that the normal order of the city is not affected." Bradley calmed himself down. "But the palace guards and the royal guards must be thoroughly investigated. Without the cooperation of some of them, the executioner would never be able to dig a tunnel under the Queen's bedroom."

The palace guards are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of royal family members in the palace, while the royal guards are responsible for guarding the entire palace.

The executioner was able to set up a barrier in the Queen's bedroom, and even with the Queen's protection, it would be impossible to do so without the cooperation of the people in these two departments.

There is also the palace’s internal official system.

There are problems!

Bradley felt overwhelmed and felt like he was sleeping on the edge of a knife every day.

Terenas: "The palace needs to be purged, and the captain of the guard and the captain of the royal guard need to be replaced."

Bradley the Great asked, "Do you have the right person?"

Terenas turned his head to Helotte, but was glared at by Helotte and quickly turned back: "I don't have any. These two important positions must be held by the people that father trusts the most. If it weren't for the job at the Imperial Military Police, I would be willing to serve as the chief of the guards for father!"

"Captain of the Guards cannot bring out your talents. I will select them myself. It would be best if they were outstanding children from the Bradley family." Emperor Bradley then asked, "Has Aleister's golden blood been recovered?"

Terenas did not enter the Queen's chambers.

Helot knew he was being asked, so he answered, "His Highness Arestar's golden bloodline has mutated. It has transformed into a set of golden armor and has taken the initiative to protect His Highness. Now the golden armor has completely penetrated His Highness' body. I can only collect the remaining consciousness of His Highness Arestar."

Helot stood up and presented a golden shuttle to Emperor Bradley.

Emperor Bradley held the golden shuttle, feeling mixed emotions.

Terenas lowered his head, pretending he heard nothing.

Bradley stroked the patterns on the golden shuttle, then reached out and grabbed a box from the air, placed the golden shuttle in it, took another look at it, and closed the lid.

The golden armor protected Leon, which was very reasonable!

"Keep an eye on him, and do not let the torturers know, nor let the Duke of Holman know."

Helot: "I have accepted him as my godson. I will teach him the necromancy of the Claulund family. He will become a qualified gravekeeper."

Emperor Bradley was still a little surprised to hear that Helot had adopted Leon as his godson.

"Becoming a member of the Claulund family is probably the best fate he can get. It's a pity that you are unwilling to come to the palace to help me. If you had come, we would have eliminated the executioner long ago."

Helot said, "Your Majesty, please do not underestimate the executioners. Their strength is only stronger than the intelligence we have. And I think their infiltration into the Covenant City this time should not only attack the palace. Therefore, Your Majesty, your eyes should not only be in the palace, but also look at the court."

One of the key figures in this royal scandal was the Duke of Holman.

Duke Holman knew that Arestar was of dual descent, but he chose to conceal it. The former queen might have been coerced by Duke Holman and also chose to conceal it.

So, did Duke Holman know about Aleister's affair with Queen Astrid?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Leon is the son of Aleister. Does Duke Holman know about this?

This attack...how much does he know?

Once the seeds of doubt sprout, trust will be difficult to maintain!

Although reluctant to admit it, the prisoner achieved his goal... a rift appeared between the Bradley family and the Holman family, a rift that could not be bridged in this generation.

Now Duke Holman is in charge of the court. If things are not handled properly, the empire may be divided again.

King Bradley wanted to bring the Claulund family into the court to check and balance the Holman family.

But Helotte has always shown that he has no great desire for power, which makes Emperor Bradley happy and a little disappointed.

Marriage has always been a means for the royal family to strengthen its relationship with the Holman family. At this time, marriage can stabilize the Duke of Holman.

Bradley the Great thought of Bramelo.

Blamelo must be her daughter. Astrid gave birth to her before she became queen. Blamelo also showed the power of direct golden blood.

But because of Astrid and Leon, it was hard for Bradley to like his daughter anymore.

Just using Blamelo to bring Tomorrow Group under the control of the royal family is also very tempting.

Of course, it would be even better if Blamelo could marry into the Claulund family!

"Herod, I think you will receive an invitation from Duke Holman after you leave the palace. Please express my trust in him to Duke Holman on my behalf, and hope to marry Bramelo into the Violet Family to deepen the relationship between the two families."

Helot asked: "Don't you want to ask whether Blamelo is willing to marry into the Violet Family?"

Bradley: “No need to ask her.”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I will express my trust in Duke Holman on your behalf, but regarding the marriage... I don't want to do anything that goes against my friend's wishes."
