"Impossible! I clearly left three Archmage to protect me!" Klee shrank back in fear.
"Just those three losers?" Claire waved his hand, and three corpses appeared on the ground. Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't suffer much torture before they died.
Then Claire looked at the white-clothed Pope who was sitting aside and pretending to be calm, and said with a frivolous smile, "Your Majesty, we meet again."
"I remember that the contract signed after the end of "Holy War" stipulated that clergy are not allowed to interfere in the country's internal affairs. Is this a blatant breach of contract?"
The pope in white remained silent, then Claire raised the crystal ball, pointed at the men in gray and said, "Are these the people from your Church of Light tribunal?"
The Pope finally spoke, "I don't know them. I came here to discuss some things with Prince Klee. I don't know anything about this."
"Oh?" Claire took out another transparent crystal and injected it with magic power. What was broadcast inside was the image that Klee had just asked the church to do.
The pope in white finally closed his mouth, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that he was at an absolute disadvantage, Klee stiffened his neck and said, "You can't kill me, I am a child of the royal family!"
Claire pointed at the crystal ball and asked, "Oh? Then what are these people you sent doing? To give Irene a surprise?"
"You've been in a position of power for a long time, and you can only do it yourself and not let others do it to you?"
"I..." Klee was speechless.
After Claire finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then a black ball-like thing rolled down to Klee's feet, "Before I come to you again, I first went to Prince Vito's place."
"Come, say hello to your big brother."
Klee looked at his feet, and sure enough... it was Vito's deadpan face, that expression of defeat and fear.
Scared, Klee quickly retracted his feet, his whole body shivered with coldness, and his lips could not help but tremble slightly, which was a sign of extreme fear.
"You can't kill me..." Klee said incoherently. After seeing Vito's head, he was really scared. You only have one life. When someone really wants to kill you, no one can calm down.
"I, I, I..." Klee panicked, and suddenly pointed at the crystal ball and shouted out.
"If you kill me, Irene won't be able to survive!"
At this time, at the Duke Charlie mansion, the mages and warriors protecting Irene had been completely defeated, and those sent by Klee also began to enter the mansion.
Claire was not in a hurry, sat on the sofa, put the crystal ball on the table, and said softly, "Okay, let us continue watching."
An unpleasant feeling arose in Klee's heart, and the people he sent out had already arrived outside Irene's room. They kicked the door open and swarmed in.
But the moment they entered, they were dumbfounded. There was no sign of Irene inside at all.
At first, they thought they had found the wrong room, but after they searched the entire mansion, they suddenly realized that Irene was not in it at all. In an instant, not only Klee was panicked, but they were also panicked.
"This..." Klee said with a surprised look on his face, "How could this happen!"
"Did you never think about whether Irene was inside before attacking?" Claire asked, "Or are you really stupid enough to think that there are so many people protecting this place and Sword Saint Hubert is here, so Irene will definitely be here?"
Klee: "..." He indeed thinks so, not just him, but almost everyone thinks so.
"Where is Irene?" Klee asked unwillingly.
"She is a girl who must have gone to play with other girls." Claire said.
Klee quickly thought, "Archmage Merlin's house..."
Klee asked crazily, "He has violated the agreement with my ancestors. Isn't he unable to participate in the succession of the throne?"
"Yes, but does this conflict with Irene going to his house to play with Edith?" Claire said matter-of-factly.
Hearing Claire's explanation, Klee showed a self-deprecating smile. Damn it, there was no possibility of his side winning from the beginning. Even if he found out that Irene was on Merlin's side, who could contain him?
"Why did you go out of your way to help Irene?"
"Don't ask so many questions about a dead person." Claire said, throwing a dagger at his feet, and continued, "Do you want to show your dignity? Or should I help you show your dignity?"
"Your brother splattered my blood, so I hope you can behave yourself."
Klee slowly lowered his head and picked up the dagger. When he slowly picked up the dagger, looking at the sharp and shining dagger, Klee closed his eyes tightly in fear, his expression twisted into a look of painful struggle, and tears kept falling from his eyes, one drop at a time on the floor.
He really never thought that he would die in this situation, quietly and so powerlessly.
After holding the dagger in front of his chest for a long time, Klee still couldn't muster up the courage. Then he threw the dagger back to the ground, closed his eyes, opened his hands and said to Claire, "Help me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wind blade slid across his neck, and then there was a "clunking" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. After Klee's head rolled on the ground a few times, he "met" with his eldest brother.
Claire stepped forward and raised the two heads, then glanced at the frightened Pope in white who had lost all strength and slumped on the sofa, and said with a smile, "The evidence is conclusive, please be prepared, Lord Pope."
After saying that, Claire's figure fluctuated like water waves, disappearing from here in the next second, and was already in the crystal ball when it appeared.
Claire inside shouted, "Klee and Vito are already dead and will not die now! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing the two heads falling from Claire's hands, everyone present was stunned. A few seconds after they came over, a knight took the lead and dropped his weapon and lay on the ground. Then the same voice kept coming, and the mage in the air slowly landed with his head in his arms.
Klee and Vito are both dead, so why are they resisting?
As for escaping? The next King is already confirmed to be Irene. The power of the entire country belongs to her. Can they escape? Moreover, it is impossible to kill all the combat forces on his side, otherwise the kingdom's power will definitely be greatly reduced. Therefore, only those above him will die. As long as he is still alive, there is still hope.
The dozen or so men in gray stopped entangled with Hubert after seeing what happened, and quickly left the scene.
Claire didn't stop them either. These people were dead members of the church. Even if they stayed, it was impossible to pry anything out of their mouths, and the evidence had just been recorded.
At the same time, in the Klee mansion, the Pope in white fell into a deep panic when he looked at Klee's body that had not been revealed.
Church of Light does not allow mistakes, so the fault can only be his own. Then he will be pushed out as a scapegoat, and the Pope will have a new white bishop appointed by the Pope.
As for escaping? The entire continent is Church of Light's sphere of influence. Where can he escape? Moreover, as an abandoned son, he has no way to use the power of the church to take out this kingdom. He may even be detained by those men in gray and the Judgment Office as soon as he returns.
