Chapter 796: Chapter 309: I Choose Austin, for He Is the People’s Choice_3

As the Death Knight made his moves, members of the Tulip Family gradually realized that something was amiss. Looking at the Death Knight and Austin, they couldn’t help but suspect that these two were the real allies.

"I am the knight of the Goddess of Death on this earth, representing the interests of the Death Church. I only cooperate with the King, and as for who is the King, I don’t care, but today..."

Wayne, sword in hand, bowed deeply before Austin, "I choose Austin, he is the people’s choice!"

Hefei: Is this kid too filial?

Philomena: Who am I, where am I, am I going to be a queen consort now?

As her voice trailed off, a few seconds of brief silence followed, only to be shattered when the banquet hall erupted into chaos.

Members of the Tulip Family were inwardly cursing, stepping back from the center of the hall, each one fearful that their former close allies might get ahead and were now desperately protecting them.

"Death Knight!!"

Sophia’s eyes widened in surprise. She had felt that something was amiss halfway through her sentence, and even so, she was inevitably shocked when the truth finally emerged.

The Death Knight actually supported Austin’s rebellion?

When had they established such an alliance, during the time when Austin was the liaison?

That’s not right, if Austin had such a powerful ally, why was his attitude so humble before, and why did he look so distressed now?

Austin, blink if you’re being threatened.

"Knight Lord, please don’t talk nonsense."

Austin’s eyes bulged, his tongue pressed against his teeth as he spoke, nearly dying of anger as he placed the head of the household’s position into the hands of the Death Knight.

To make him King, how dare you voice such a thought, is he material for a King, does he have a suitable heir?

What, Wayne?

Then forget it, with Lundan the Second the nation would be doomed.

"Mr. Austin, I’m not talking nonsense. You don’t know your own strength," Wayne said with a grand gesture.

"Not only do I support you as King, the Dark Saintess of the Dark Church thinks the same..."

With that, he proceeded with a series of hair-raising rebellious statements.

Douglas, the commander responsible for the rise and fall, persecutes the nation’s loyal and good. Sophia turns a blind eye, letting him get away with his outrageous actions. Today, he, the Death Knight and the Dark Saintess, under Austin’s leadership, rise up to overthrow this treacherous couple.

The statements were so shocking they turned all the members of the Tulip Family pale.

They had guessed that Austin would have a card up his sleeve to turn the tables, but weren’t these two cards a bit too strong, outright stealing the Queen’s ally, leaving her with nothing.

A complete reversal of the poles.

And what about the Dark Saintess of the Dark Church, was the Death Knight spouting nonsense, or did she really support Austin?

As everyone looked on, Anastasia, who had been silent, slowly stood up from her seat. Under the incredulous gazes of the Queen and the Prince, she approached Austin and bowed deeply before him.

"The Dark Saintess of the Dark Church, Anastasia, offers you her sincere respects. In my personal capacity, I endorse you as the new master of Windsor," Anastasia said quietly.

Her voice was soft, but left no room for doubt.

Austin’s scalp tingled as he hurriedly said, "Your Holiness, why are you joining the Death Knight in this folly? You should understand, you have no private identity, your every word and deed represent the Dark Church."

"The Pope will support you fully," Anastasia continued in the same tone.

Indeed, the Dark Church does not support the Dark Knight, but who does? The Life Alliance?

Oh, the Life Alliance had sent two High Priests, having supported him a long time ago.

Especially the Naturalism Church, eager to be the first, pressing their High Priest to quickly become the Queen Consort. The Moonlight Church was the second, with their High Priest being the queen consort today, and the Queen tomorrow.

Anyway, with Austin as King, everyone stood to gain.

Hefei’s scalp tingled. Others might not know, but she had a hunch. Hearing Anastasia’s resolute tone, she suspected that the Death Knight’s identity had been exposed.

After some meticulous reasoning, following the Old Witch, another older woman became her son’s lover.

Good heavens, the family’s future was assuredly thriving!

Philomena lowered her head in a daze, murmuring to herself about the queen consort and the Queen Consort, and if one looked closely enough, one could see she was unable to contain her smile.

The Death Knight representing the Death Church, the Dark Saintess representing the Dark Church, along with Hefei representing the Naturalism Church, and the Moonlight Church she represented—when these four churches joined forces, by what right did Sophia remain as Queen?

She might as well be a maid!

So where exactly was the Prince hidden? Step out already!

Douglas stood aghast with his mouth wide open, turning to confirm that indeed, his allies had sided with Austin.

He couldn’t understand how things had come to this, how they had developed to this point?

Wasn’t it agreed that he would signal and Austin would have no place in Lundan any longer? Why did everyone choose Austin?

Douglas was baffled. He couldn’t comprehend why, as he watched Austin, supported by the four churches, envy filled his eyes.

He was the Prince and was entitled to his pride, but at that moment, all he was fit for was envy.

A sliver of black thread spread from Douglas’s cheek, too faint to notice, the pain making his body tremble, his face contorting. In everyone’s eyes, this looked like the ultimate expression of rage.

"Austin, is this your trump card?"

Sophia stood up, gently shaking her head with a hint of disappointment, "I thought you, of all people, wouldn’t betray me, yet you’ve prepared so much just to betray me."

"Your Majesty, I pledged my loyalty to you and that oath still stands. This is the Death Knight and the Dark Saintess’s wish, it has nothing to do with me," Austin calmly explained.
