"Your Majesty, is it them?" Although Derian did not directly say who these "they" were, who among the people present was not a smart person? How could they not hear who he was talking about?

"Apart from them, who else would be so bold?" Shao Qian leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "How did they tell you about my disappearance?"

After all, His Majesty Prince Ansel disappeared after the banquet. There were not many people attending the party at that time, only the seven elders and a few dukes. After his disappearance, the prince's subordinates would definitely not let it go. So, how did the seven elders hide it from these prince's subordinates?

"The day after you attended the banquet, Elder Leighton sent us a letter, saying that you were tired of the endless darkness and wanted to sleep." Derian looked angry. "Because the letter was covered with your blood, we believed Leighton's words at first. After all, you also expressed the idea of wanting to sleep a few years ago."

They had always known that His Majesty the Prince had the idea of sleeping for a long time, but they never thought that it was Leighton who came to tell them.

"But later on, Leighton and the others acted more and more outrageously, so we felt something was wrong." In the first year of the prince's disappearance, Leighton and others did not do anything out of the ordinary. After observing for a while, they really thought that His Majesty the Prince had found another place to sleep, so they felt relieved.

However, in the second year, they noticed that Leighton and his men seemed to be a little aggressive. At first, Derian thought that it was because the prince was asleep and no one could control their relationship, which was a little different from before.

However, they were obviously wrong. Several elders began to gradually swallow up the prince's power. Two earls were attacked by the Church when they were out, and one was seriously injured and the other died.

This really made Derian and others alert. They felt that the disappearance of His Majesty the Prince was not that simple and there must be some conspiracy behind it.

However, they did not dare to act rashly. If His Majesty was really imprisoned or even trapped, they might put the Prince in a more dangerous situation. This was also the main reason why His Majesty's subordinates had not dared to take any action until now.

After what happened to the two earls, they always believed that the elders had some connection with someone in the Church. However, they had no evidence, and even if they said it, it would not be accepted by other members of the blood clan. After all, the disappearance of His Majesty could not be the work of one person, and the seven elders might have been involved.

It must be said that Derian and the others were right, and the other elders were indeed involved. Although Jerris had some reasons after all, it could not cover up the fact that she betrayed.

"They cooperated with the Church." Shao Qian briefly recounted what happened, and then said in a cold voice: "The blood clan is the king of darkness, and it has been difficult for them to coexist peacefully with the Church since ancient times. Since they dare to cooperate with the Church, they must be prepared to be expelled."

As soon as Shao Qian finished talking about expulsion, he saw disapproval on the faces of Derian and others, and then he heard Derian say dissatisfiedly: "What they are doing now is undoubtedly a betrayal of the entire vampire clan. How can expulsion alone erase the crimes they have committed?"

Derian has always been somewhat opposed to the prince's actions. He didn't think that the prince's actions were wrong, but he thought that the prince, as the king of darkness, was too soft-hearted. However, even if the prince was soft-hearted, he was still the one he was loyal to. Such a prince would only make people want to protect him more.
