Chapter 990: Chapter 507_2
Suddenly, soldiers from the United Kingdom surrounded the deck, encircling the Superior Knight who had killed the leader of the Blossey family, and isolated him from the presence of Lord Ivita and the other two kings.
Ivita finally understood the intention of the Emperor of Frank.
The United Kingdom was not a nation where the king alone made all decisions; the nobles held significant influence. Now, with the family leader of the Blossey clan slain by an Alsasian knight on the deck of the ship, there was a possibility that the United Kingdom would join the Kingdom of Frank’s camp and attack Alsace.
This was a grave diplomatic blunder.
So, this was the plan of the Frankish people.
Ivita eyed the Alsasian knight. "What benefits did they offer you to betray your own country?"
"You shouldn’t have any connection with Jalen and those Pseudo Kings. Why, not welcoming me?"
The Alsasian knight immediately knelt before Ivita, "Your Majesty, you are the finest king in my heart. But... my wife and children are in the hands of the Frankish people, I had no choice... I..."
Louis XI interrupted him, "Knight Gao Wen, why did you kill the Baron Blossey of the United Kingdom? Good heavens, by the God of All Things, it’s too cruel. Why would you commit such a cruel act?"
"Lord Ivita, you are the most powerful wizard here, you must be able to prove that Knight Gao Wen was not under the control of magic."
"All of these actions were his own choice, weren’t they?"
Ivita did not speak.
The Hearthstone Witch screamed at Louis XI. "Little wizard, how long do you plan to hide? Aren’t you a Wizard King yourself? Does manipulating the mind require magic? Even those controlled by magic, their minds have been altered; they are not normal people. You don’t need magic to manipulate someone’s heart. That Knight Gao Wen is definitely your spy."
The Hearthstone Witch spoke bluntly, voicing the suspicions that everyone present had guessed but dared not say. "I see, this Knight Gao Wen is your man. Why did you have this little spy kill your ally of the United Kingdom? Truly a cruel person. Just drop this hypocritical facade, and I’m certain I’d like you more. Why not simply admit, that you are indeed this wicked?"
Hearing the Hearthstone Witch call him cruel, a hint of anger flashed across the face of Louis XI.
No one had ever dared to call him cruel, even if it was true, no one dared to say it.
Louis XI suppressed his anger and said, "I don’t know what you, witch, are talking about. But I am a cultured person, and I will not stoop to your level. Lord Ivita, your man has killed one of our Emperor Stuart III’s men, how cruel. Was it because Baron Blossey disagreed with you? Yes, your witch had hit him before."
The Hearthstone Witch laughed sarcastically. "You kill allies, truly worthy of an emperor. Anyone who allies with you must consider the possibility of being killed. But then again, you are so high and mighty, you wouldn’t care about just an ordinary baron."
"But what are you doing here on this deck, deluding yourself?"
Louis XI clenched his fists but still wore a smiling face, as he addressed Gao Wen Knight, "Then tell me, why did you kill Blossey? Was it under Lord Ivita’s instructions, or those of the lady witch?"
Knight Gao Wen opened his mouth, not daring to meet Ivita’s gaze, "It was Lord Hearthstone Witch who told me to do it. She instructed me to secretly follow Baron Blossey, who had been expelled from the meeting, and then to kill him because Baron Blossey had insulted His Majesty Lord Ivita."
"Lady Hearthstone Witch..."
The Hearthstone Witch suddenly interjected. "I never left the meeting, how could I have instructed you?"
Knight Gao Wen, nervous, hastily blurted out a statement with a logical loophole.
Louis XI immediately retorted, "Using magic to communicate doesn’t require leaving the meeting place. Now that everything is clear, to assist both His Majesty Lord Ivita and Emperor Stuart III, it would be best to execute this foolish knight quickly."
"This would settle the feud between the two majesties."
Saying this, he took a pen from his shirt pocket and threw it at Knight Gao Wen. Under the enhancement of Frankish Law, the pen transformed into the world’s most formidable divine weapon, and the dreadful pen smashed towards Knight Gao Wen’s forehead, intending to make this matter a headless ironclad case.
Just then, Ivita stepped forward three paces and pinched the pen between her index finger and thumb.
This action demonstrated the highest level of magic Ivita currently possessed. The powerful and consolidated national law was almost unstoppable, but under Ivita’s manipulation, all its force was guided by spatial magic into the Great Void outside the Black Magic Forest Universe.
Louis XI could not help but glance sideways; he had not expected Ivita to possess such formidable power, which unexpectedly disrupted his original plan.
Such opportunities were rare, a once-in-a-lifetime chance that had to succeed in one go. Otherwise, Ivita would surely be on guard, and there would never be another chance.
Moreover, people like Knight Gao Wen, who could be controlled and had penetrated the core of Alsace, were truly unparalleled.
Sacrificing such a person even made Louis XI feel somewhat pained.
Once Louis XI made his move, the Alsasian soldiers and Frankish soldiers all drew their weapons and faced off against each other.
The Hearthstone Witch even grabbed Knight Gao Wen by the neck, both imprisoning and protecting him.
Louis XI knew it was impossible to forcefully kill Knight Gao Wen and turn the situation into an irrefutable case, so he quickly came up with a clever retort, "In this conference, Baron Blossey did indeed offend Your Majesty Ivita, but you cannot simply resort to killing."
"That’s too excessive."
"Your Majesty Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch is your subordinate; please give us an explanation."
Ivita looked at him coldly. "What explanation do you want?"
Louis XI responded, "Not providing an explanation—that’s unreasonable."
Ivita smiled and said, "I originally thought you were an upright man, but to my surprise, you are not even comparable to our Emperor Aoyue III. Baron Blossey is your ally, yet you sacrificed him to prevent the potential alliance between the United Kingdom and Alsace and to stop the United Kingdom from directly sending troops to help Alsace."
"That’s your cruelty."
"Now you are playing these petty games here, showing your shortsightedness. Let me speak frankly, the Kingdom of Frank was not unified and centralized under your leadership. Your father and your grandfather had already done most of the work, and you merely inherited the political assets they left behind. You behave like an arrogant landowner, recklessly managing your own property, reforming your kingdom. Your manner of using people is extremely cruel."
"Your country might appear strong, but it already has underlying problems."
"Have you not realized that your cruelty is causing your country to become riddled with problems? What explanation do I owe you?"
Ivita looked at him with a cold sneer.
"That’s your cruelty."
