Chapter 291 The secret told by Duke Holman
Duke Holman, one of the twelve founding Dukes of the Glory Oath Empire, has the title of Duke of Violet, and is the only Duke whose title has nothing to do with the power of his family.
The reason is that all members of the Holman family are handsome men and beautiful women, and this has been true for generations.
For this reason, the first Duke Holman was so beaten by his brothers that he had to give up his favorite title of "Duke Mighty" and accepted the title "Duke Violet" with tears. In the end, he was forced to give up using the King Kong orangutan as the family emblem and chose to use violet.
After hearing this story, the descendants of the Holman family all agreed that their ancestors were beaten well and were sincerely grateful to the ancestors of the other twelve families.
However, the "powerful bloodline" was preserved due to the insistence of the first Duke of Holman who would rather die than surrender.
The mighty bloodline gives the Holman family the purest physical strength. While they have the enviable figure, they also possess unimaginable strength. If it comes to the most direct power output competition, even Duke Zhan Kuang is no match for Duke Violet.
During the Blood Rebellion, the Violet family chose to marry the Bradley family and stood firmly in the imperial army's camp.
In the following hundreds of years, the Violet family and the Bradley family had many marriages, and the blood relationship closely connected the two families.
The current Duke Holman is the uncle of the eldest prince and the third prince.
Of course he is also the uncle of the deceased crown prince.
Helot didn’t know the purpose of Duke Holman suddenly wanting to see him, but since the other party had sent out an invitation, he would definitely go and see him.
Following the corridor on the first floor of the attendants to leave the main hall, and after passing through a long corridor, Herot met Duke Holman in a lounge.
He has the standard purple hair of the Holman family, a carefully trimmed beard, deep eyes, and an angular face full of masculine charm.
A pure white dress with silver patterns on the shoulders.
Seeing Herot come in, Duke Holman stood up and took the initiative to bow and salute: "Nice to see you, Mr. Claude..."
Helot returned the greeting: "I'm very happy too. See you, Duke Holman.”
“Please sit down!” While inviting Herotte to sit down, Duke Holman waved to the attendant to let him out. He waited until the door was closed before he sat down. He said to Helot: "First of all, I want to apologize to you. When you publicly returned to the Covenant City for the first time, I sent people to monitor you. Fortunately, they were driven back by Princess Maelubelli."
"This has been a long time ago, and that was the escort you sent because you were worried about my safety."
Helot doesn't think Duke Holman just called him here. Just for the sake of apologizing, I would have apologized long ago if I wanted to. He did not ask about the purpose of this meeting, but waited for Duke Holman to tell him.
The banquet is about to begin, and as the only duke currently in Covenant City, Duke Holman must not be absent.
So Duke Holman stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "Your Majesty asked you to investigate the murder of the crown prince?"
"Yes." Helot asked: "Duke, do you If you have any clues, please tell me.”
Duke Holman showed a very troubled expression. After hesitating for a while, he said with memories: “Aleister is very good. I have always believed that he will become a leader. The great emperor's achievements could even surpass His Majesty's.
But he died so inexplicably... I was very sad. I often dreamed about my dead sister, and she asked me why I didn't protect his son. Therefore, I have always wanted to investigate who killed Aleister, but His Majesty blocked my investigation and sealed everything related to Aleister's death
These things should be in your hands, right? "
Helot observed Duke Holman and replied casually: "Your Majesty gave me some things related to that case, but I don't think it was all. "
Duke Holman asked: "Are there those tungsten needles that killed Aleister? "
Helot asked back: "Are those tungsten needles helpful in investigating this case? "
Duke Holman shook his head, looking confused: "I don't know. All I know is that everyone who came into contact with those tungsten needles died, even the senior palace physicians. I feel that His Majesty concealed the cause of the Crown Prince's death not just for the sake of the stability of the empire, but also for other deeper reasons. ”
Herot asked: "What do you think is the reason?" Duke Holman looked at Herot and said seriously: "Are you doubting me? If there is one person in the world who wants Aleister to live the most, that person It must be me! I am his uncle, and I am the only one who will support him without reservation!"
Helot said very relaxedly: "Duke Holman, to you! To be honest... I know there must be many stories behind this case, any one of which may kill me, so I don't intend to find out the truth. I don't think His Majesty will punish me because I can't find the murderer. "
"If you don't want to check, just give me everything your Majesty gives you, and I'll check it out!"
"I'm sorry, Duke Holman, I can't give it to you. What caused me trouble... The banquet is about to start, and we should wait for His Majesty's arrival in the main hall now."
Helot stood up and was about to leave. Duke Holman suddenly said: "The secrets of the Golden Bloodline are hidden in those tungsten needles. Regardless of whether you investigate the murder of Aleister or not, Bradley will not let it go." You!"
Helot stopped and asked Duke Holman: "It seems you know what secrets those tungsten needles hide."
"Aleister possesses double needles. Bloodline..."
Although Duke Holman answered the question incorrectly, he successfully aroused Helot's interest.
He sat down again: "Are you sure?"
"I watched Aleister grow up, of course I am sure!"
Bloodline is a very special power system that follows the direct lineage of a family. All direct blood relatives can obtain complete lineage power. . In the process of reproduction of family women and collateral descendants, the family bloodline will gradually fade and the full power of the bloodline will not be exerted.
When two bloodlines are mixed together, the purer bloodline will remain. This is the uniqueness of the bloodline.
There are always exceptions. Although double blood is theoretically impossible, there are sporadic double blood legends in history, but the authenticity of these legends cannot be confirmed.
If Aleister is really of double blood, then it can explain why his strength grows so fast.
Herot asked: "Do you think the death of the crown prince... is related to his double blood?"
Duke Holman asked: "If Aleister becomes the emperor of the empire, then the blood of his son is Golden blood? Or mighty? "
This is a taboo question!
The probability of double blood is so low. There is a high probability that Aleister's son will be a normal single blood, and the probability of inheriting golden blood is only 50%. If you are unlucky and have several sons with "mighty blood", whose family will the Glory Oath Empire become?
Helot asked: "Does Your Majesty know that the Crown Prince is of double blood?"
"He didn't know it at first. The external manifestations of the Holman family's bloodline were not obvious, and the golden blood also greatly enhanced the strength. The first person to discover Aleister's dual bloodline was my sister, and then she brought this I was told.
We decided not to tell His Majesty about this, because Aleister is the second prince, and the position of crown prince should belong to the eldest prince by convention, and he is also the son of his sister. I thought that His Majesty would give the crown prince position to Aleister... At that time, my sister had died of illness, and I kept it hidden."
Double blood is a good thing for individuals, but for others. As far as the family is concerned, the bloodline has been contaminated.
Especially the royal family values the purity of bloodline.
In order for Aleister to grow up without prejudice, it is understandable that the late Queen and Duke Holman kept this matter a secret.
But Aleister was named crown prince, and this matter became troublesome!
Sure enough, this case became more and more dangerous the more it was investigated.
When Duke Holman knew that Aleister would be crowned crown prince, why didn't Duke Holman tell Emperor Bradley about the double blood?
Why did he tell me this secret?
Does Emperor Bradley know that Aleister is of dual blood?
If so, when did he know it?
Oh...it's terrible!
