Sanctuary Huazhang II The Nightmare

Chapter4

I stood in the glorious hall, surrounded by ministers, nobles and guards who had always respected me, surrounded me like watching a trapped beast.

The ancient and solemn hall was full of light, and everyone's eyes were fixed on me.Elliot sat tall on the throne, a section of stairs depicting a long distance, suppressing his heart.

He was too far away from me, with an alienated smile on his lips.

It was raining heavily, and the sound of the rushing rain hit the depressed mood.The curtain is like a streamer, and the raindrops are beating the leaves, crumbling.

Yesterday a group of waiters rushed into my Rose Island with weapons and searched my bookcase without any explanation.

I was so angry: "Hey, hey! What are you doing! I am also your Royal Highness after all, please explain to me what you have to say. Be careful that you violate the royal family law by doing this!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Eden. But our Supreme Military Council has just received an anonymous notice indicating that you have the possibility of collaborating with the enemy." The team leader took out a search warrant, "According to the law of Aitz, any suspect who committed this crime , regardless of their status, they are subject to a thorough search."

"Nonsense! The term collaborating with the enemy is a term used in wartime. Now that all countries pay attention to friendly development, how can there be any enemy or non-enemy!"

No one listened to my protest, and a tall and burly guard came up and took out the books I had placed on the top shelf before I had time.

"Hey, check it out, don't mess up my book!"

"Wow, look, what is this!" At this moment, a soldier was surprised as if he had discovered a new world. He was holding an old magic book in his hand. I have read it for a long time, and there are many interesting magic artifacts in it. .

I just threw the books I read on the bottom of the bookshelf, and I haven't sorted them out for a while, but I don't think there is anything worth paying attention to.

So I leaned over, and what he was holding was a letter. Ordinary envelopes can be seen everywhere, and there is nothing special about it.

I don't remember writing it myself, and my heart sank, and I had a very bad premonition.All the other people cheered up and scrambled to open the envelope.

There is only a piece of paper inside, with a few numbers.

"The current military situation in Aates is stable, and he recently had a secret meeting with the envoy Grace. The consensus that Orson is his biggest threat has been formally reached. Aates held a summit meeting and did not rule out that there will be new spies entering Orson. Sen. Please be cautious."

My face changed, I definitely didn't write this thing, and even if it was trying to frame me, this text message was full of loopholes.

Leaving aside whether this information is true or not, just saying this content is obviously nonsense.If all spies can only talk nonsense, then this spy might as well not have it.

It's a pity that it's useless for me to say such things at the moment, so I had to be taken away by the triumphant soldiers, all elated as if they had made a great contribution.

Someone wants to frame me, and no one can be indifferent to this kind of thing. They just want to get Brother Elliott to help me clear up the grievance as soon as possible, and then arrest that nasty guy.

Ordinarily, in my position, I should be transferred directly to His Majesty for interrogation, but who would have expected that I would be taken directly to the confinement room, where I stayed all night and no one paid any attention to me.

The more you think about it, the worse it gets.

Even if I am a minor and have not formally participated in politics, everyone knows that I will be the second-in-command of Aicz in the future. Who would have the guts to send people to my private island and conduct a search?

Unless there is a greater force in command.

It wasn't until this time that I really realized the seriousness of the problem. It wasn't accidental or poorly planned, but I fell into a trap and someone laughed.

After all, I was still a child, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became.As a result, he was solemnly taken to the auditorium the next day, and the entire senior management of Aitz participated in the interrogation.

The venue was full, as if I was the only one so helpless.

─────────────────────────

Although I am mischievous and willful, I have never been judged when I grow up, and now I am standing in the hall, and my legs will inevitably become weak.

"Eden, do you know what the accusation is this time?" Because my brother was sitting at the top, my mood was still slightly relieved.

I nodded: "I know. Collaboration with the enemy in the first degree."

"The evidence is an unsent letter, which was found in the house on your private island, do you admit it?"

The term "evidence" was obviously used after the conviction, but I didn't realize it at the time. Of course, it was impossible to admit it, so I quickly shook my head: "Although it was found in my room, it was definitely not written by me."

There were voices of doubt in the hall.

I tried to tell, "Obviously someone set me up this time!"

"As far as I know, Rose Island is your private domain, no one can come in and out at will, right?"

I was speechless and realized something was wrong.

Elliott should help me out of both emotion and reason. I am his younger brother. As His Royal Highness, I have no reason to betray Orson.And I'm only over 300 years old, a child who hasn't grown up in Sanctuary, how can I have the ability to betray?

I was in a hurry, Elliott's figure sitting on the throne seemed too far away, and the probing eyes nearby made me involuntarily timid.

"Brother Elliott, I really did not cooperate with the enemy. My private life is extremely simple. Wherever I have come into contact with any enemy, it is difficult for Aates to even see people of different races. Even if I think about it, I will never have a chance!"

"Eden, please call me Your Majesty." Elliott's voice was so cold that it froze the surrounding air.

I was silent for a moment, regained my senses, and said sarcastically, "Your Majesty, you don't doubt that I want to replace you?"

I just made a wild joke, but Elliott sneered: "It's just a kid, do you think you can do it?"

The atmosphere froze, and everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.I thought it was just a misunderstanding, but I didn't want it to seem that the trap was set by Elliott.

I just don't understand why my brother, who has always had a good relationship, suddenly came to such a trick.

I am loose by nature and like a quiet life, and I once considered helping him defend Aates as an ideal.I don't have any extra thoughts, I just want to learn magic well or be a powerful warrior to fulfill my responsibilities as His Royal Highness Eden.

I don't understand why Elliot, who has successfully ascended the throne, is targeting me.

Born in the royal family, it seems that he had a vague understanding of political struggle at that time, but in fact he didn't have any concept.

When encountering something, his thoughts are simple, and he doesn't think so far-reaching at all. After all, he is a child, and he panics when encountering a little thing.

It is indeed very cowardly, but it is the only way for everyone.No one can grow up perfectly and naturally without experiencing some setbacks, and no one can reap a perfect love without knowing love.

The warm light flowing outside the window is like a deliberate mockery of me.

I was full of anger and grievances and had nowhere to vent, and I couldn't cry when so many people watched.

I still understand that this kind of loss of face can only be ridiculed, but my heart is full of mixed emotions and I feel so uncomfortable that I will die.

Elliott straightened his body: "Eden, the summit meeting mentioned in this letter is only known to a few high-level people in Aitz. How did you know about it?"

I was furious: "What the hell do I know? I told you I've never seen this damn letter! If anyone of you wants to frame me, can you use some level of reason? This kind of stupid excuse can be seen at a glance. Really. I have no grievances or grudges with Aates, isn't there no good result for Aates to ruin me?"

"But there is no storm without waves. It is impossible for me to continue to indulge you now. Eden, remember that human endurance is limited. If you violate my bottom line again and again, I will not forgive you lightly next time. "

I spoke angrily, "Your Majesty Elliott, the person who reported me only said that I was collaborating with the enemy and ruling the country, and you believed it. If they said that I tried to assassinate you secretly, are you planning to execute me on the spot?" Woolen cloth?"

"If you want to assassinate me, you have to have that ability." Elliot snorted, resting his forehead on the back of his hand in disdain, and looked leisurely at the high-ranking figures of Aates around him, "However, is it possible that among these people at this moment? You might even arrange someone."

Now it was the turn of the ministers who were shocked and flustered.

"No, Your Majesty must be careful in making choices, we have no second thoughts about Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty can't listen to the suspect's one-sided words, it's unfair!"

"Since the secret letter of collaborating with the enemy was discovered in His Highness Eden's private territory, His Highness Eden has an unavoidable responsibility anyway, so he should investigate it carefully."

The noise of their voices made me sick, and I became a suspect so quickly, and because of a small text message, I was in danger of being imprisoned.

I laughed when I heard it, and couldn't help ridiculing: "Your Majesty thinks too much. You are right. Even if I have any ideas, I must have the strength to implement them. I can't even install a person, let alone collaborating with the enemy. What about Aates' major decision-making exposed to Orson?

Elliott's voice was indifferent and serious, "Eden, you are my younger brother. Of course I can't trust you at all, but I can't trust you completely. It's good for us to calm down. Guan Heita should do a good job of self-reflection."

"I don't want to! Not going!"

The black tower of confinement is a place where life sentences are imprisoned.It seems that the environment is beautiful and the view is wide, but in fact there is only a small garden in front of it. You can see the freedom and openness but you can't experience it yourself. This is the most torturous place in the confinement of the Black Tower.

I don't want to go to that place at all, not even for an hour.

"Come here, take His Highness Eden to the Black Tower of Confinement." Elliott clapped his hands, and a group of personal guards approached from outside.

One of them came and twisted my wrist, easily pulling my arm behind me.The stalemate made my elbow hurt.

"Stop, let me go!"

I yelled vigorously, the sound of the rain outside the window was chaotic and irritable.

"Be rational, okay? How could I betray Aates? Let alone communicating with them, they won't believe me no matter how much I want to betray Aates!"

Elliott looked down at his finger. A ring was worn on his powerful finger, which was like a scepter, the symbol of Aates' supreme power.

Complicated and complicated patterns, ancient totems and characters carved in the language of the Eldar, generation after generation, the ultimate power and status.

The people in the sanctuary seldom usurped power and seized the throne. Many higher positions can be obtained through hard work, but there is only one way of kingship.

"Eden, I will consider your rebuttal, but you cannot be special before the law. It is also a good way to keep you calm and calm in the black tower of confinement. After you calm down, maybe you can think of something, such as who might Frame you and so on... I will not intentionally make things difficult for you, even if you are imprisoned, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly, if it is false, I will punish the person who spread the rumor, but at present, this is the only way I can do it."

Elliott gestured again, and the soldier who had just backed away grabbed me again.

I feel so disheartened that I don't even have the strength to continue to refute.

Elliott has always been my closest family member, and I still miss the time when I was a child when he held me and told me stories.I was too young at that time, and I can't remember many things clearly, but my gentle and kind brother in the past still remains in my heart forever.

Because of that memory, I have never hated or hated His Majesty Elliott, and I have always respected him even with deceit and concealment.

But at the moment, I just hope it's just a nightmare.
