Chapter 747: Memories of Windsor Castle
"So the secret you want to tell you is that Her Majesty was not stabbed to death because of her illness?" In fact, all the people on the mainland thought so at that time, but there was no evidence.
"You guessed it right. Rebecca nodded at Alfie, "But the empire was so powerful at the time that it controlled all the propaganda mouthpieces, so despite the suspicions of the world, there was no evidence. Not even the Holy See's Divine Retrospective and Oracle Techniques could do it. ”
"The two secret techniques that can block the Lord of Light bestowed on the Holy See, could it be that the main envoy after this incident is also a main god?" asked Tenelle, puzzled. She was already at the peak of the Mithril Sanctuary before she lost her black dragon body, and at that time, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would be able to avoid the two secret arts, so she had this question.
"Because the assassin who assassinated the Holy Maiden was armed with a 'soul blade'!" Rebecca's reply startled Alfie. As long as anyone is cut a little skin by the parts of this soul chapter, the soul will be immediately extracted by it, no wonder with the strength of Otto the Great could not save the life of the saint in time.
"I remember that the Soul Blade was originally a weapon of the Joker, and then it seemed to have fallen into the hands of Franco O'Brid, Otto the Great should have settled accounts with Franco, why did he choose to hand over the imperial power to Franco during the retreat?" Alfie asked confusedly.
"Because the soul blade has been lost on the battlefield of the final battle near the end of the Great War of All Races, this matter has been forgiven by Otto the Great at that time, but it has not been announced to the public. Therefore, when the assassin used the soul blade to assassinate the Holy Maiden, he cleared the suspicion of the O'Bright family, so Franco was more trusted by his father. Rebecca replied.
"It makes sense, but I always feel that something is not right. Alfie pondered for a moment, if Celent was around, he could take out the Soul Blade and study it to see if there were any clues left on it, "I want to ask, was the Soul Blade intact or already in a fragmented state at that time?"
Rebecca had a strange expression on her face, "How would you feel if I told you that it was because of the assassination of the Holy Maiden that my father made a breakthrough in a fit of rage, and after killing that assassin, he broke the soul blade with his own hands in his anger?"
"Being able to break the artifact created by the God of Souls with his own hands, could it be that Otto had already advanced to the Demon Gold Sanctuary by then?" Tenelle let out an incredulous exclamation.
"Perhaps. I wasn't born until ten years after that, so I've only heard of it, but I'm sure my father hasn't shown that strength since then. Rebecca shrugged, in fact, she was also curious about the state of Otto the Great at that time.
"It turns out that the Soul Blade was broken by the hands of Emperor Otto the Great, and then somehow it fell into the hands of the skeleton warrior who attacked me and Serent, and was then shattered by Celent with an arrow of holy light. So the question is, who repaired the broken soul blade, and who handed it over to the skeleton warrior? It shouldn't be Lucas? He should have taken the soul blade very seriously, and couldn't just give it to a minion. Alfie muttered to herself, frowning. He has gradually strung all the threads together, but there are still a few key links that are very important.
"You said you were born ten years later, and that was the time when the Kingdom of Claire and the Edding Federation were founded, and Otto was in retreat?" asked Turnelle.
"That's right. During these ten years, the Emperor hardly left Windsor Castle and accompanied the coffin of the saint in the castle. It was not until after I was born that my father came out of the grief of the loss of the saint, agreed to bury the saint, and returned to the imperial capital to handle government affairs, and Windsor Castle was given to me by my father after my birth. My childhood can be said to have been spent at Windsor Castle. Rebecca said with a little pride.
Judging from Otto the Great's actions, there is no doubt that Rebecca is regarded as a substitute for the Holy Maiden, and because of that well-known secret, it is not surprising that Rebecca is favored no matter how much she is favored. No wonder Otto wanted to pass the throne to Rebecca at that time.
"So you've always grown up at Windsor Castle?" Alfie asked casually.
"That's right. Before I was accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Bischut, I lived at Windsor Castle and almost never returned to the palace in the imperial capital. Rebecca nodded. At least for the part of her memories she recovered.
"I have a question. Rebecca, who is your mother?" asked Turnelle suddenly.
"My mother, probably one of my father's many concubines, right?" Rebecca said with a puzzled look on her face, which she had almost never thought of before Tenelle asked.
"You don't even know who your mother is?" said Tennair's face in disbelief.
"My memories have been sealed, and the memories of my mother happen to be within the bounds of the unsealed. Rebecca's answer was calm on the surface, but deep down it was a storm, why had she never thought of it before, as if something was stopping her from doing so, making her subconscious deliberately avoid the existence of her mother.
"If it weren't for the ten-year time difference, I would really doubt that you are the daughter of Otto and Jessica~" Tenaier covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes were fixed on Rebecca's face, trying to catch a hint of strangeness from her face.
"It's a moving guess, but unfortunately when I was born, Jessica was buried in the back garden of Windsor Castle. Rebecca shrugged, she still remembered how she had slipped into the cemetery more than once as a child that was unusually simple in appearance, but the actual material was made of very valuable and rare cryolite.
"It's a shame. Seeing that Rebecca's face was not fake, Tenell couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, "Originally, I thought that the terrifying best pair in the War of All Races would become an enviable pair, but I didn't expect that Otto guy would give up Jessica, who is extremely good in all aspects and has a tacit understanding with him." ”
"Huh, do you think that Otto the Great and the Holy Maiden Jessica should be a match made in heaven?" asked Alfie, surprised. The peachy scandal about the two supreme leaders of the Terran coalition two thousand years ago is still talked about today.
"If it weren't for Jessica's little hoof interfering in my duel with Otto, Otto would have been beaten to the ground by me!" Tenelle glanced at Alfie and fell into deep memories, her summit duel with Otto was arguably the proudest of her past years.
