Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 65: Fainted with Happiness
"Grandpa Fran."

In the dim dungeon, Eli watched the old man who had taken care of him since he was a child tightly strangling his neck, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Ugh." His eyes widened instantly because he couldn't breathe, shock and pain intertwined on his face.

He really couldn't understand why the grandfather who took care of him would kill him with his own hands?

He clearly didn't do anything wrong. He just opened a few brothels and formed a gang. He paid his taxes properly!
"Why." His voice trembled as he tried to ask the reason. He grabbed Fran's arms in vain, and the touch felt like he was holding a piece of rotten oak.

He kicked his feet wildly, trying to break free from the deadly restraints, but all efforts seemed in vain.

The air grew thinner, his vision blurred, and Eli's consciousness gradually faded.

Memories of the past flashed by like a kaleidoscope.

Before the age of six, he lived a luxurious life in the castle that was envied by countless people, and had a bright future of becoming a lord in due course.

Until his father had an affair with his aunt and was hacked to death by his uncle, and he was thrown out of the castle like garbage.

Fortunately, he was adopted by Grandpa Fran. At that time, he also thought about revenge, and for this reason he swung his sword all day long regardless of fatigue.

Until one day he saw the naked body of a maid.
Sword practice, woman, sword practice, woman, woman, woman.
He didn't know when he had become addicted to women, completely losing all his energy and even forgetting the revenge for his father's murder.

"Perhaps this is the punishment for my laziness."

Eli Hughes gave up struggling, and soon his consciousness was completely dissipated in the pain of suffocation.

"Alas." Looking at the young man who was no longer making any sound and was strangled to death by his own hands, Fran was stunned for a long time, and finally just let out a long sigh.

He pushed open the cell door and walked over to Karen and Danielle.

"Uncle, do you need my help?"

Danielle's slender fingers lightly outlined the air, and a ball of hot fire condensed in the air.

The Martha family has been masters of playing with fire since ancient times, and they have even tamed the fire-controlling magical beast, the Red Flame Fox.

"Forget it, so that you and your wife won't have to quarrel in the future."

Fran stretched his muscles.

"Under the second cabinet in the last room on the third floor of my house are all my coins and a bottle of strength-enhancing potion, which I will leave for Haydn to use when he grows up." Fran said lightly.

"Karen, the glory of the Hughes family rests on your shoulders. You must promote Hughes to earl!"

"I will always be watching over you from the underworld!"

He roared and slammed into the stone wall beside him.

Bang, bang, bang!
Accompanied by several heavy impacts, even a hole was knocked out in the stone wall. The old man finally fell to the ground with blood all over his head and soon stopped breathing.

Seeing this bloody scene, even the tough guy Karen couldn't help but shed tears.

"Uncle!" Danielle had already thrown herself on Fran's body, crying.

For the sake of the strength-enhancing potion, she decided to cry more seriously.

Black Wolf Castle.

It was late at night, but the candles in the huge chandelier in the main building's lobby were still burning brightly.

Xia Mingyu sat in the main seat, while Karen and Danielle stood respectfully on both sides of him.

Two young maids stood under the main seat, each holding a wooden box.

"Your Highness, these are the culprits responsible for creating brothels and gangs in the territory—Elie Hughes and Fran Hughes."

As Danielle spoke, she raised her hand and gestured to open it. The maids opened the wooden box, and a strong smell of blood emerged.

There were two heads in the wooden box, one of an old man and one of a young man. One had his eyes closed peacefully, while the other died with his eyes open.

"Close it." Xia Mingyu suppressed the nausea in his stomach and said in a deep voice.

The two maids quickly closed the wooden box. If they opened it again, they would be irritated by the bloody smell and would feel nauseous and lose their composure.

"Hughes. Are they also members of the Hughes family?" Xia Mingyu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Your Highness. They are considered branches of the Hughes family. In terms of blood relationship, one is Cullen's uncle and the other is his nephew."

"Please don't blame the Hughes family for their sins." Danielle replied softly, her pretty face full of apology.

Dear uncle, dear nephew!
Isn't this parricide?
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu looked at Karen in shock and found that although the other party was a little forced, he still forced a gentle smile under his gaze.

Xia Mingyu: “.”

He realized that he seemed to have underestimated the allure of the world's nobles to have the heir to a kingdom of 1.4 billion people become the godfather.

In order to achieve this, they would not hesitate to kill even their blood relatives.

But at least the outcome was for justice.

"Your Highness, this is the information of all the villains currently in the dungeon and the crimes they have committed."

Karen handed a thick stack of papers to Xia Mingyu.

"Your Highness, to confirm the crimes of the villains, I used torture and identification by the people of the territory and personally supervised to ensure that no good person was wrongly accused." Danielle added.

She had been staying in the torture room and dungeon these past few days, and sometimes even tortured the prisoners herself, and her body was almost stinking!
"I am quite confident in judging the truth of words. Please believe me, Your Highness." Danielle said with a smile.

She learned to lie since she was a child. The lies that those villains racked their brains to make up in order to escape punishment were full of loopholes in front of her. She could easily see through them just by looking at their expressions without even listening.

Xia Mingyu casually flipped through a few pieces of paper, and the numerous crimes committed by the villains on them made him frown.

"Very good, very good, you are really so righteous!" Xia Mingyu exclaimed sincerely.

If all the nobles in the world could be as righteous as the Karens, then this continent filled with countless sins and blood and tears would surely become brand new in an instant.

It’s a pity that this cannot be replicated. After all, he alone cannot promise to become the godfather of all the nobles on the continent.

"Your Highness, the judgment of these villains is entirely left to you."

"What do you think about little Haydn?" Danielle leaned over and asked cautiously.

Her beautiful cyan eyes stared nervously at the black-haired young man sitting on the main seat in front of her, and her pretty face was full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Her shoulders were tense, her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and her breathing became short.

It involved the fate of little Haydn's life, so even she, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel panic as if someone was pinching her heart.

until
"I will keep my promise and be Haydn's godfather at his baby honor ceremony next month," Xia Mingyu said calmly.

She heard His Highness Mingyu's promise with her own ears.

Ah!
What happiness! What glory! What beauty!
Thinking that her child would become the godson of the future master of the vast kingdom that would rule the entire Eastern Continent right after birth, an unprecedented sense of happiness washed over her entire soul.

boom.

Danielle fainted on the ground because she was too happy.
