A slow and rhythmic round of applause sounded from the other end of the long table.

King Nun clapped his hands expressionlessly.

But no one answered him.

"This is worthy of applause," the old king clapped while using an unsettling rhythm and tone: "For our star guests..."

Thales rolled his eyes helplessly - he could feel that the eyes looking at him in the hall were full of deep thoughts and worries.

"And for you, the ally of the Walton family, the leader of the Perfitt family, and my most trusted Grand Duke of Fengzhao City, Conkley Perfitt."

The eyes of the Gongzhu King and the Grand Duke of Fengzhao City finally met in the air.

One side is complex and angry, the other side is numbness and indifference.

"Say something, Conkli," King Nunn's voice became dull and depressed, echoing in the fire-lit conference hall, giving people an inexplicable sense of suffocation: "Before you can no longer speak.

"

"At least, you can try to choose your own way of death?"

Archduke Perfitt suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister and terrifying smile.

"How to die?" he murmured.

Behind Perfit, a disarmed attendant whispered with worry: "Sir, maybe we should..."

The next moment, Perfit turned his face and said coldly to his subordinates with an angry face:

"Shut up."

The attendant stopped talking and sighed and stopped talking.

Perfit turned back, his facial muscles twitched, he gritted his teeth, and his expression kept changing between dissatisfaction and annoyance.

"Humph." The young Grand Duke sneered.

"You want me to say something..." The young archduke's laughter grew longer and longer.

Thales frowned.

King Nun's expression did not change.

"Hahaha," Perfitt shook his head mockingly, "What else can I say?"

The next moment, he turned around suddenly, his eyes like a hawk, scanning the whole place sharply.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Perfit's cold words made everyone's expressions change.

"I received an invitation from His Majesty to come to Longxiao City to discuss major matters related to the relationship between the two countries." Perfit looked around with a sneer and extended his hand to Thales: "Then, I respect you the most and cannot resist.

To raise the king together, unite with an enemy prince who has a blood feud with him, and accuse me of being the murderer of Prince Morar?"

"And what's the reason?" Perfit turned his head suddenly with a ferocious look on his face, which startled Thales.

"Because I want to leave the banquet early? Because I want to rush back to the territory early? Because my people had unnecessary conflicts with the White Blade Guards at night? And even sacrificed an extreme guard!"

Perfit gasped and beat his chest hard.

"This is a shameless slander!"

"Fuck you, Perfit!" A subordinate next to the king snorted disdainfully: "A coward's self-defense!"

"Ah, ah, ah," Grand Duke Trudida squinted his eyes and chuckled, "This is really not the little Conkli I know - what a surprise."

"We have all heard the child's words and seen your reaction. Even now, do you still want to quibble?" Olesiu frowned, "Don't forget, you are a Northlander."

"Sophistry?" Perfit asked loudly, his eyes widened, as if he was crazy.

"From the beginning to now, this damn kid has been talking nonsense all by himself!" Perfit pointed at Thales and roared loudly:

"And you idiots are being fooled by him alone, by a prince of the stars and a remnant of an empire!"

Thales shrugged helplessly and looked at Putilai behind him.

Next to him, Marquis Slyth whispered with a smile on his face: "Wow - seeing this scene in the Exeter Palace is really worth the travel expenses."

Perfit turned around and looked at King Nun angrily.

"I murdered Prince Morar?"

"Me and Rumba?"

"I took the lead in assassinating this brat?"

The Grand Duke shouted angrily with a distorted face

"Is there any evidence?"

"Everyone knows that Morar and I are about the same age and have a close friendship. What reason do I have to murder him?" The young Grand Duke's words made others frown and whisper to each other: "As you said, Grand Duke Olesio,

The Perfitt family is the most powerful supporter of the Walton family!"

King Nun looked at Grand Duke Perfitt's actions without saying a word, but his eyes became colder.

"And you, the great and foolish His Majesty Nunn VII, are you going to execute me here?" Perfit shouted at everyone: "Only with this ridiculous and ridiculous charge? Just because I want to return to the territory as soon as possible.

?”

"Because of this damn brat's bullshit?"

"If I die here," Grand Duke Perfitt gasped, raised his right index finger, and gritted his teeth: "Perfitt will not forget, Fengzhao City will not forget..."

"Northland will never forget!"

Amid everyone's frowns, Perfit roared crazily:

"Everyone will know that the king who has lost his heirs and Walton who has reached a desperate situation has gone crazy! He favors traitors and enemies, persecutes loyal ministers and friends, and accuses me without reason, without evidence, and without reason.

And openly slaughtered the Grand Duke in Longxiao City!"

"Everyone will know that this violates Nekaru's oath of co-governance!"

The other princes watched his performance silently, with sadness in their eyes.

Perfit adjusted his breathing, and there was a threat in his words: "When I die, my brother will inherit the position of Grand Duke, and the Perfit family will attack Longxiao City..."

But at this moment, King Nunn’s applause sounded again.

Interrupting Perfitt's words made him slightly startled.

"Nice try," King Nuen's old and thick voice contained a deep chill: "Thankfully, I always thought you were a polite sissy."

"I underestimated you. It seems that you are still a good actor - you should go to Dragon Kiss Academy or Mingye Temple, not here."

"Bah, this is simply your deliberate plan to kill me and weaken the grand dukes," Grand Duke Perfitt said fiercely to his king: "Besides speculation and slander, do you have any evidence?"

King Nuen sneered.

"Of course, maybe you have lost your mind a long time ago. You don't care about the evidence or who the murderer is. You just want to weaken us grand dukes!"

Perfit raised his hands, exposed his chest, gritted his teeth and stared at the king: "Then what are you waiting for? Come on, kill me!"

"Let the Exeters see what kind of king they have!"

"I will tell Moral when we get to the prison river," Perfit gritted his teeth and said word by word: "His father went crazy after his death - Walton died in this generation.

!”

"Boom!"

Hearing the name of his dead son, King Nun slammed his fist on the table.

Perfit ignored him.

"And you, sit back and watch this trial without evidence, you who sit and watch all this," Perfit turned around and glanced at each of the Grand Dukes, with anger in his eyes: "You are next!"

Grand Duke Ronny shook his head disdainfully, with disgust in his eyes.

Jarhead's Trudida gave him a friendly smile, showing eight teeth.

Olesio looked back at the young archduke without saying a word.

Grand Duke Lecco didn't even raise his head, seeming to be particularly interested in the long table in front of him.

The ministers and advisors around the king all showed thoughtful expressions.

They are not the only ones aware of the problem.

Thales, who was watching, also frowned slightly: Although Perfitt seemed to be using quibbles as a last ditch effort, he was not unreasonable.

A grand duke came to Longxiao City, but was executed by the king...

What will the people think? How will Fengzhao City react? Are the princes really indifferent?

and.

Although everyone knew it was him, Perfit.

But there is really no evidence.

Unless Lombard comes forward and identifies Perfitt while admitting his guilt.

Thales' worried eyes kept going back and forth between the tense-faced Perfit and the stern-faced old king.
