In the palace of a royal resort in the south of the Duchy of Carmel, His Royal Highness Liandre George was watching a clown's performance with the queen and a few confidants.
The clown's extremely exaggerated performance in the field made the queen cover her mouth and chuckle. The confidants were also laughing, but the owner of this place, His Royal Highness Liandre George, didn't know why, but he always had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness!" A servant rushed in and interrupted the clown's performance. Before the queen and several confidants could get angry, they saw a Knight in golden armor had come in.
"His Royal Highness is here, how dare you come in wearing armor with a sharp sword?" A confidant saw the golden armored Knight coming in and couldn't help but shout.
"I am Lord Lowell, the deputy leader of the Duchy of Carmel's National Guard. I am ordered by King Algernon George of the Duchy of Carmel to announce the king's order!" Lord Lowell looked calmly at the King and Queen who used to be high and mighty. He ignored the confidant who was speaking and spoke to the former King.
"What?" Liandre George stood up fiercely. The huge force in front of him knocked over the table in front of him, and the wine and food on the table scattered on the ground.
"You are rebelling. Don't you know how the Kingdom of Saint Ellis deals with rebels?" Liandre George pointed at Lord Lowell and shouted, but there was a hint of cowardice in his voice.
The basic reason why a duchy could exist for countless years without decline in the Holy Continent was that the nobles ruled the country, and the king managed the nobles. At the same time, all the human nobles had to abide by the same principle, which was the human convention. The convention guaranteed that the ruling family of each duchy would not be violated.
Of course, if a duchy had no power, then it was possible to change the dynasty naturally. As long as the duchy's power did not decrease to a certain extent, then the king of the duchy would be protected by the convention.
This was also where Liandre George's confidence came from. Any rebellion would be strangled by the suzerain and the other duchies.
Lord Lowell smiled faintly and said, "This is your abdication letter, you can check it yourself!"
"Abdication letter!" When Liandre George heard this word, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He took the abdication letter and read it with trembling hands.
There was not much content written in the abdication letter, but it clearly stated the reason for abdication. Because of forcibly removing the title of Baron Abel, the hero who fought against the orcs, and occupying Baron Abel's property, all these crimes had threatened the survival of the duchy, so Liandre George abdicated himself.
"It's fake, I didn't write this at all!" At this time, Liandre George understood that this was his revenge for stripping Abel of his title and taking back his territory, but he didn't expect it to come so fast and so violently.
"Of course it wasn't written by you, but please look at the seal below!" There was a trace of disdain in Lord Lowell's eyes. This kind of behavior was really chilling to see a Grandmaster Blacksmith of the Duchy stripped of his title just because he was frightened by someone.
"This is … This is the seal of the late king. How is this possible? Isn't it sealed?" Liandre George looked at the seal and found that it was the seal of the old king, Spender George. This set of seals should have been sealed with the death of the old king, but now it was taken out.
At this time, Liandre George thought of a family tradition. If the king did something that threatened the survival of the kingdom, with the unanimous consent of all the elders of the George family, the former king's seal could be used to forcibly abdicate the reigning king.
For a long time, Liandre George thought that this rule was just a joke because it was basically impossible to get all the elders of the George family to agree unanimously. Among them, there were two elders who were on his side, and the other elders would not be united.
"Is Master Abel really so terrible? How could all the elders agree to let me abdicate? " Liandre George's voice was a little low, and a deep sense of powerlessness made him almost unable to stand.
"Master Abel? It seems that your information is really behind the times. You should call him Grandmaster Blacksmith Abel! "Lord Lowell's voice was like a giant hammer hitting Liandre George's heart.
At this time, Liandre George understood why the elders of the George family unanimously agreed to forcibly abdicate him. He murmured, "I should have known that he is a dragon, even if he is suppressed, a dragon is a dragon!"
"Head Commander Hoover was going to kill you, but the elders decided that since you like this place so much, you should stay here for the rest of your life. And you guys!" Lord Lowell said as he looked at everyone in the room.
The gate of the holiday palace slowly closed, and behind Lord Lowell were several Knights who were originally protecting Liandre George. Now that the Kingdom Guard had a new target, a new king, Liandre George would never need the protection of a Knight.
A heavy lock locked the gate of the palace, and His Highness Algernon George's confidants would personally guard the palace until Liandre George died of old age.
On the first day that His Highness Algernon George became the king, he issued a king's order to restore Abel's title and return all the recovered land to Abel. The manor and villa were not only returned to him, but also some manors that were compensated by the nobles who took over his manor.
If it wasn't for the cumbersome process of being a baron and above, Abel's title would have been directly promoted that day. Perhaps in the near future, Abel's title would have become a viscount.
Of course, Abel didn't care about this title. At least, he didn't know that the great Knight Hoover had already avenged him. He was currently on Bai Yun's back, flying towards the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
Abel was reading a full set of information about the Kingdom of Saint Ellis Wizard Union provided by the Goff family. There were 4 elite wizards in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis Wizard Union. They were Wizard Cliff, Wizard Edmond, Wizard Anthem, and Wizard Dunn, who was in retreat.
According to this report, the one who was in retreat should be his teacher, Wizard Dunn. Wizard Edmond was in charge of most of the affairs of the Wizard Union, and Wizard Anthem was in charge of the logistics of the Wizard Union, which meant that he was the one with the most power in terms of finances.
Abel's enemy, Wizard Cliff, was the head of the investigation department. The scariest thing about the investigation department was that they took advantage of the power of wizards and forcefully planted a large number of spies in the underground organizations of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis and the 7 affiliated duchies. They also had a certain number of spies in every social class, which made the investigation department a terrifying organization.
Especially after Wizard Cliff became the head of the investigation department, the investigation department began to take on more assassination missions. Many merchants, nobles, and even wizards who had conflicts with him would be assassinated with a crime. Sometimes, they wouldn't even need to be charged with a crime.
According to the analysis of the investigation department, Wizard Dunn, who was in charge of all the affairs of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis Wizard Union, was in retreat. That was why Wizard Cliff dared to make a move on Wizard Dunn's disciples.
The reason was that the wizards of the Duchy of Keyen were all wiped out at the same time as Elite Wizard Cliff. Also, Elite Wizard Cliff was 120% sure that Elite Wizard Dunn was in a retreat, and he would never be able to come out of it.
It was because of this that he dared to use Wizard Dunn's disciples as a scapegoat. The first reason he chose Abel was that Abel's identity was just right. For such a big case, he couldn't just let a nobody take the blame. No one would believe him.
The second reason was that he could suppress the arrogance of Wizard Dunn's disciples and show off his power to all the wizards in the Wizard Union. If he dared to suppress Wizard Dunn's disciples, the other wizards would naturally feel his power.
