After traveling through time, I want to become a magical omnipotent saint

Chapter 283 White Moon Night Part

An underground prison in Orland Heights.

The prison is not big, and is covered with negative magic stone brick walls from the ground to the underground, which can prevent magicians of national level strength from casting magic here.

Those below the third level of the national level who come to this prison are as weak as those without any magic power.

The third prince, Padukan, was taken to the interrogation room by four prison guards.

"I'd like to state in advance that our conversation will be very short, only ten minutes, because the negative magic stone magnetic field in this room can only maintain strong suppression for ten minutes to prevent you from escaping from prison. The next time we meet will be next month."

Zevaang looked at his pocket watch and realized that he had wasted a minute before the game even started.

"The black crystal dragon that attacked the king's bedroom is the same dragon that attacked the western battlefield of Corey Roman. The flow of magic power controlled by the magic power is also aligned with the fluctuation of your magic power source, so what is your reason for attacking the king?"

The third prince, Padukan, had heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and was guarded by four tall prison guards behind him. Facing Zewanang's interrogation, Padukan had a melancholy look in his eyes, but there were many things in his mind that he had not sorted out yet. He hoped that by the end of the interrogation, Zewanang would have time to answer a few questions.

Padukan did not answer directly, but asked: "It is the Lord Chief who is here to interrogate me. Since there is still time in front of you, there is no need for me to waste my breath reading stories to you."

"...I want to know why the king didn't die? What about the eldest prince who was in the same bedroom?"

"Why did you deploy so many people in advance? With the strength of the Black Crystal Dragon, it won't be a problem to flatten the Palace Mountain in two minutes!"

Zewaang took up his pen and wrote quickly, saying, "You flattened the Palace Hill within two minutes. This sentence means you admitted that it was you who did it. So what is your reason? The right to inherit the throne?"

"Given your achievements and reputation among the people, you have a great chance of inheriting the throne."

Padukan placed his shackles on the table and said arrogantly, "I am not the heir to the throne, so everything I do is just to think about how to leave a good reputation, and then naturally become..."

"What a logical conclusion," Zewaang interrupted, "So... were you also the one behind the sandworm demon control in Anshan Town four years ago? I already suspected it was you at that time, but unfortunately I lacked some logic. The evidence we collected is still kept in the archives of the headquarters of the Almighty Eye."

Padokan: “I did it.”

Zevaang: "What's the reason?"

Padocan took a deep, melancholy breath and confessed everything.

"Of course it's to assassinate the Seventh Prince Xia An."

"What a pity that he is not in the camp, otherwise I would not have wasted my energy attacking Palace Hill in the future."

Zevaang continued to record and asked, "Also, two years ago in the northern plains, I need to confirm once more, were you also the one behind the intermediate monster sandworm?

Padokan: “Yes.”

Zevaang held the pen, stared, and continued to ask questions: "You drove the monster to attack the king, but you were also present at the time. How did you play a self-directed and self-acted game? How to clear yourself of suspicion?"

Padokan: "It's not to clear my name. The reason is simple. I need a chance to show my abilities and gain the trust of Charlemagne's royal family and many ministers."

"You are very ambitious," Zewaang commented. If I had directly exposed you, even if I had arrested you, you might not have paid a greater price. "

As Zevaang spoke, he quickly wrote down the words, but his eyes did not move. He looked at Padukan and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else to add or any questions? Or anything you want to say?"

"Do you think I am the only one carrying out these plans?" Padukan gave a weird smirk.

Zevaang looked at his pocket watch and saw that there were still three minutes left.

"Princess Bai Yue was giving me some details..."

When Zewaang heard him say that Princess Baiyue was also involved, he immediately became excited.

"To make a long story short, I'll give you a minute."

Padukan: "One minute is not enough. Her plan may not be for the sake of a few territories of the empire. I doubt that you can quickly counterattack the Black Crystal Dragon. Did she betray me in advance?"

Zevaang thought this matter was indeed a bit strange: "What did she... do?"

"She poisoned..." Padukan said softly, and succinctly described the process of Princess Baiyue's crime.

"…But you don't have any evidence, so there's no way you can catch her! Once you start investigating, she will destroy any evidence. I'm only reporting her. I can't be the only one dragged into this."

With that, the interrogation time was about to end, and without saying a word, the four prison guards dragged Padochan into the deep underground prison.

Zevaang watched Padukan leave, and there was no trace of lies in his eyes.

Maybe what he said was true? Was it a palace infighting? These invisible bloodbaths, all the investigations launched by the All-Seeing Eye were an encroachment on the imperial power, and all they could do was look to the king's advice.

Charlemagne's Palace Hill at dusk.

The king's apartments were being demolished, and the news of the eldest prince's death had not yet been announced.

The second floor of the rear hall of the garden has been converted into the king's temporary bedroom.

Zeewaang is giving the king a detailed report.

Upon learning that Princess Baiyue was involved behind the scenes, the king was furious: "Impossible! Baiyue has always been kind to everyone. She exposed Padokan in advance, provided an arrest trap, and captured Padokan."

"Is there any evidence that Bai Yue also framed me?"

Zewaang said calmly, "The first time I met His Majesty the King was when I was investigating the poisoning incident at Palace Hill. The royal family members were all victims. From that day on, all food was strictly tested. Even in the palace laboratory, there were only five testers. Only those who were approved by the Almighty Eye and several ministers could stay in the palace to work."

"It may be that Padukan maliciously framed Princess Baiyue, because I have never heard of any toxicity that cannot be detected. It is simply nonsense."

At night, Princess Bai Yue looked horrified when faced with the investigation of the Almighty Eye.

But I wasn't panicked at all.

The royal tea had some other potions added to it, which had different effects, but could be used to refresh the mind. When brewing tea, adding some sugar would dissolve the potions. Unfortunately, the king didn't like adding sugar, and there was still poison left in his body from more than a decade ago. When he drank the tea, he was poisoning himself, and he only added a little potion to it.

In the initial conversation with Padukan, I just misled him into thinking that I, Bai Yue, was also secretly operating and poisoning the king, until he capsized and would definitely accuse me.

He is a man who has made great achievements under the guidance of Princess Baiyue. Since he can be deified, the conditions also allow him to take advantage of others' misfortune.

Within a month, Princess Bai Yue cooperated with the investigation of the Almighty Eye and searched the palace mountain more than a dozen times inside and out, including everything Princess Bai Yue ate on a daily basis. The investigators of the Almighty Eye followed Princess Bai Yue like a shadow, checking again and again, but did not find anything unusual.

One month after the eldest prince's death, Princess Baiyue was cleared of suspicion and was able to take over the government with the second prince.

After Princess White Moon was cleared of suspicion, Padukan was executed in prison by the Chief Paladin.

It's a bright moon sky again.

The King's Chamber has been rebuilt, and the incident involving Padukan will be made public tomorrow. The eldest prince's accident was caused by him being buried by the collapsed King's Chamber.

A month ago, when the Black Crystal Dragon landed, the violent vibration and sudden dragon breath fire destroyed the palace.

The king was protected by the Holy Messenger and was not affected by the fireworks, but was nearly buried by the ruins.

Participating in the reconstruction were twenty court architects, all of whom had more than ten years of architectural experience and were high-level earth element magicians. They restored the appearance of the king's bedroom in just over half a month.

Apart from some changes in the furniture, the comfort level is no different from before.

The King's bedroom, first floor hall.

There were only a few members of the royal family at the gathering this time, and the palace maids were temporarily asked to wait outside the bedroom.

The Chief Paladin and the palace guards were all standing outside the palace to facilitate vigilance and deployment.

"Xi'an, Apoka..." the king said earnestly, "The allocation of officials in the North has been arranged in every aspect, but Shirenoga needs a member of Charlemagne's royal family to be stationed there. Who of you two is willing to step forward?"

Apoka felt that no matter who went, Xia An would eventually inherit the royal power.

But after experiencing this incident, Gong Tingshan always felt a little uneasy.

"I won't go," Xia An said in a negative tone, "I know I don't have the ability to govern the country."

"Well, let Apoka go to handle the affairs of the North," the king sighed, letting out a sense of relief. "I originally thought I would arrange for your little boss to go."

However, the king was also relaxed in his heart: a month ago, he was still worried about the eldest prince's outstanding ability in state affairs, and that passing the throne to Xia An would definitely cause internal strife in the royal family.

Now that the eldest prince has died in the assassination plan of the third prince Padukan, he will not have to go to great lengths to frame him with false charges or make him deliberately offend the nobles, ultimately destabilizing his position as emperor.

Several people chatted for a long time...

On one of the rare occasions when no one was around, Apoka took the liberty of asking, "Grandpa King, how did you survive?"

The seventh prince Xia An and Princess Bai Yue hid their smiles.

The king whispered back, "Why do you ask that?"

But the king only looked at Princess Baiyue and Xia An. Obviously, the two did not let out the news that they were under the "protection of the Holy Envoy".

"It is probably thanks to the blessing of the late emperor that the chief paladin rescued us in time."
