Alien Knights

"Why did the king of Muxi City come here?!"

Everyone in the hall watched Todd slowly walk into the hall, talking a lot.

Walking to the front of the hall, Todd turned around, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, I believe many people will be curious about the reason why I appear here..."

Glancing at the throne beside him, Todd continued: "Holy Acropolis and Muxi City are neighbors, and they are also a pair of allies who have a good relationship in the diocese. As we all know, when the Holy Acropolis was in a food crisis, Muxi City was the first to lend a helping hand..."

"As for why I came here? The reason is very simple. I heard about the election of the Holy Acropolis. I originally wanted to come to congratulate the new king after he succeeded to the throne. But the old king's madness delayed the election of the throne, and the timing of my visit changed from congratulations to watching the ceremony."

"Watching the ceremony?" Earl Gordon shook his head and said, "King Muxi, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. The two candidates for the Holy Acropolis election, His Highness Sinclair and His Highness Mathilde, are now missing, so the election can only be postponed indefinitely."

The smile on Todd's face stagnated: "Two candidates? Isn't that right? How did I hear it was three?"

Earl Gordon's eyes widened, and he froze in place: "Three?!"

Outside the gate of the main hall, the sun had already set, and the bewildered moonlight lightly sprinkled on the earth.

Under the bright and cold moonlight, a stunning woman in a white dress walked gracefully into the hall. Her skin is as white as falling snow, and her beautiful face gives people the feeling of falling into a dream in the night.

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Mary stepped on the stone slab under her feet and walked into the hall with her head held high and her chest held high.

Earl Gordon looked at the woman he had taken care of since he was a child, and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"This is ridiculous!"

A shout came from the crowd.

Todd followed the sound, and Cardinal Jacob pointed at Mary and reprimanded loudly: "She is not qualified to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis at all! She is the queen of the Silver Ring Kingdom. After marrying the king of the Silver Ring, she should have nothing to do with the Holy Acropolis!"

Jacob's words made the people present unanimously agree.

In their eyes, although the Yinhuan Kingdom has been destroyed, the queen is the queen after all, how could they come to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis?

Mary's figure was still tall and straight, and her expression was still proud, but Jacob's words had severely exposed the scars in her heart.

She bit her white lips with her white teeth, her nails were deeply embedded in her palms, and her whole body looked precarious.

Todd turned his face to Mary and gave the latter a warm smile, which made her feel better.

"Master Bishop, there seems to be something wrong."

Hearing Todd's words, Jacob, who was still complacent, turned dark and said angrily, "What's wrong?"

Todd rubbed his chin and said while thinking: "If I remember correctly, when the Silver Ring Kingdom colluded with the barbarians, the church expelled King Silver Ring from the church with a holy document. In other words, King Silver Ring has become a heretic since then, and the heavenly father no longer recognizes the sacred marriage between him and the queen..."

Jacob's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide enough to stuff an egg.

Todd pointed to Mary and continued: "Since the church no longer recognizes this marriage, she naturally no longer has any relationship with the Silver Ring Kingdom, and of course she has the right to inherit the throne of the Holy Acropolis..."

Jacob's current mood was as disgusting as swallowing a fly alive.

What he never expected was that the church shot itself in the foot this time. The expulsion of the Silver Ring King's membership was tantamount to terminating the marriage between the king and the queen, which allowed Mary, who was a disciple of the Heavenly Father, to regain her right of inheritance.

Jacob wanted to refute one or two, but he couldn't think of any other reason to explain this matter, so he could only hem and haw on the spot.

After thinking about it for a while, people also nodded in agreement with this statement.

Todd smiled and turned to Earl Gordon: "I think there should be no objection to whether Mary has the right to inherit the throne, right?

Gordon glanced at the lonely woman beside him, and sighed softly: "I have no objection."

"Then let the candidates..."

Jacob jumped out again at this time and said: "Now that the other two candidates are absent, how can the election be held?"

Todd looked at everyone in the hall, and said in a shocking sentence: "The two candidates have lost their qualifications."

Gordon asked in surprise: "Disqualified? What do you mean?!"

"Let's talk about His Royal Highness Mathilde first." Todd took a report from the limping Dion, and said to everyone present: "I have a record here, which clearly and clearly records the crime of His Royal Highness Mathilde selling food."

Gordon frowned, picked up the handed-in report, and looked at it carefully.

The paper records in detail how after the food crisis, Matide took advantage of his power to sell and embezzle relief supplies to meet his personal luxury needs. Looking at the long series of numbers, it is shocking.

Watching the report circulated among nobles and officials, Gordon looked at Todd: "Are these figures true?"

"Absolutely true." From the corner of Todd's eye, he glanced at Tristan in the crowd, and then said to Gordon: "These goods have been handled through several Muxi chambers of commerce, and all sales data are well documented."

Listening to the people in the palace loudly reprimanding His Royal Highness Matide's behavior, Jacob rolled his eyes and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Matide has a lack of virtue and may not be suitable for the throne of the king. This is why the Holy See gave up supporting him... But what about Your Highness Sinclair?!"

Gordon also reacted at this time: "Yes! His Highness Matide is not a good choice, but His Highness Sinclair loves the people like a son, is kind and honest, and is diligent in government affairs. Lord of Muxi City, how can you deny his inheritance?!"

Todd raised his eyebrows: "From my point of view, His Highness Sinclair seems to be inferior to His Highness Mathilde when it comes to character..."

"What did you say?!"

Todd's words caused an uproar in the hall, and Gordon was the first to shout angrily: "Master Muxi, please speak clearly! Even if you have a noble status, you cannot slander the heirs of the Holy Acropolis at will!"

Todd looked around at the angry people around him, and exchanged a look with Cumberland.

The latter waved his hand, and a small group of knights immediately brought several baskets of documents and books.

"If Mathilde's crime is only due to greed, then Sinclair's behavior is close to cruelty." Todd pointed to the hundreds of times more pages than before and said: "Because the latter is engaged in human trafficking, and the sale is the people of the Holy Acropolis itself!"

Shouts and yells nearly knocked the roof off, and people shouted at Todd, everyone calling him alarmist.

There was only one exception. Cardinal Jacob looked at the documents stacked half a meter high on the ground, and seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Todd asked Earl Gordon to find several kingdom clerks, and selected several documents from among them for them to read aloud.

From the names of the members of the refugee family, to the route arranged by the refugee organization, then to the logbook and memorandum of the ship's voyage, to the sales record of the slave market, and finally to how the sales proceeds were laundered and entered Sinclair's pocket. These documents even described the appearance and body shape of each slave in detail.

People's voices of questioning gradually subsided, and everyone had a jaw-dropping expression on their faces.

Gordon looked at the book in his hand, tearing up, slowly closed his eyes, let it fall to the ground, and murmured, "Your Highness Sinclair...how could this be? How could this be?!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jacob knew that things were gradually moving in the worst direction, and he had no choice but to give it a go.

"These documents can be completely forged! None of them are real!" Jacob waved his arms and shouted excitedly: "The Muxi Kingdom must have carefully prepared for this day for a long time, just to confuse the public! Don't believe him!"

Todd looked at the jumping and screaming cardinal with a mocking gaze, and snapped his fingers at Cumberland again.

The latter asked the adjutant of the Knights to bring up two people.

A man and a child are like father and son.

Gordon looked at the two and suddenly exclaimed: "Pilar! Why are you here?!"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the people around him, Gordon quickly said: "This man is the gardener in my manor, and that child is his son, but they should have all fled to the Principality of Fenton...Where did your wife Vera go?"

"My master!" Pilar knelt on his knees, hugged Gordon's leg, and wept loudly, describing his experience in the past six months.

With longing and hope for a new life, Pilar took his wife and children on a merchant ship evacuating refugees. Unexpectedly, the family of three were treated as slaves and sold to the ancient city of Ulster Kingdom.

After arriving there, his wife committed suicide due to the humiliation, and his son was permanently disabled because of the beating by the buyer...

Listening to this person's statement, Jacob sat on the ground limply.

The witnesses and material evidence are all there, and the situation is gone.

After the turmoil, the election for the throne went smoothly.

This night is destined to be recorded in the history of the Holy Acropolis. Hundreds of years after the founding of this warlike country, the first queen was born.
