Chapter 269: Restricted Movement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Most of the ministers were in support of the Elder Prince, except for Earl Bell, who had gained favor due to his straightforward nature and significant donations to the empire. His generous contributions were appreciated by most officers.

Many people had pleaded on behalf of the Bell Family, and the ministers saw it as an advantageous opportunity, especially considering the compelling evidence they possessed.

“Your Majesty, Earl Bell annually donates half of his profits to the army. I believe he has been framed, ” one minister asserted.

“Yes, Your Majesty, Earl Bell provided the flying devices to combat the interstellar space robbers,” another minister added.

“If Earl Bell had aligned himself with the rebel army, Planet Dynasty would have been conquered long ago. It is highly unlikely that he would rebel,” a third minister chimed in.

Loya, lacking influence within the ministerial circle, found solace in the support of the Sam Family. However, she now stood alone.

“Father, this time it is you who has been poisoned. If anything happens to you, what will become of us?” Loya stepped forward, her gaze fixed on the ministers. “During your coma, discussions were held regarding whether my brother should assume the position, and now you are siding with Earl Bell. What is your true motive?”

The ministers turned their attention to Loya, yet she remained composed and had been performing well as of late, leading to a deadlock between the two factions.

“Enough! Silence!” The king’s head throbbed. He turned to Liao Ning and said,

“Present all the evidence you possess. Olift, verify it!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Zhou Ling approached Liao Ning, who retrieved the memory chip provided by Minnie.

Subsequently, the contents of the memory chip were analyzed and presented to everyone, with the royal family’s technical team scrutinizing the videos.

“Your Majesty, the videos and photos are authentic,” Zhou Ling reported.

Loya fixed her gaze on the video’s contents, relieved to find that she was not implicated and her voice was inaudible.

Fortunately, she lacked evidence linking her to the Sam Family, otherwise her reputation as a princess would have been irreparably damaged.

“Is there anything else you wish to add?” The Elder Prince asked arrogantly.

Then, he directed his attention towards the king. “Father, this is all part of the Sam Family’s scheme. As you can see, the elves must have obtained the pollen from the Sam Family. Otherwise, the quantity wouldn’t be so substantial. They had planned this in advance. The Bell Family has been wrongly accused!”

The evidence was indisputable, and the king himself had started to doubt Earl Bell’s betrayal.

The king nodded solemnly. “I hereby declare that Earl Bell was framed. All previous judgments are to be overturned, and the Bell Family’s members are to be released, their honor restored.”

Observing the king’s decision, Loya chose not to say anything further.

“What about Earl Sam’s residence? It is clearly visible in the video that the man is Sami.”

“Yes, and we must uncover the identity of the person who framed Earl Bell along with her!”

“Perhaps this is an attempt to poison you, Your Majesty!”

“Yes, we must get to the bottom of this!”

Upon hearing the ministers’ remarks, the king’s gaze turned cold. He turned towards Loya and questioned, “What did you say when I asked you to investigate this matter?”

Loya felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing his words.

With utmost respect, she replied, “Father, I was blinded by the superficial evidence. You know that my intentions were solely focused on your well-being. I only sought to apprehend the individual responsible for poisoning you.”

Observing Loya’s reaction, the Elder Prince sneered, while the Second Prince maintained a stoic expression. Only the Third Prince came to her defense.

“Father, my sister has never been involved in the power struggles between the royal family and the nobles. She was not deceived. Please find it in your heart to forgive her this time.”

“Yes, Father, I was truly deceived,” Loya sobbed uncontrollably. “Please find it in your heart to forgive me this time, as I acted only to save you with the antidote.”

The King sighed, his expression filled with helplessness. “Leave this matter to your Elder Brother. You may go now.”

As they prepared to depart, the king’s voice suddenly halted them in their tracks. “Completely deactivate Lady Liao’s Al. She is not permitted to utilize it any longer, nor is she allowed to roam freely within the castle..”
