Age of Arcane

Chapter 273 The First Prince's Trust
The carriage that Luke and Sinclair were riding in drove directly into the hall of Silver Manor. The guards immediately closed the door, the windows were closed long ago, and the surroundings were full of shaking magic barriers.

If it wasn't for the red carpet outside the open car door and the welcoming servants, Luke would have thought that the eldest prince, Fania, was going to close the door to fight..., caught in the urn...

At the other end of the red carpet, Fania was wearing a costume that would only be worn for a celebration, and was waiting for the distinguished guests with a smile that did not lose her power.

Luke and Sinclair got out of the car one after another. Seeing this scene, Sinclair was still a step behind Luke, knowing that his father would never greet him with such a specification.

To get such a solemn corporal from the great prince of the empire, another person would definitely bow his head and swear allegiance.

Luke walked across the red carpet to the eldest prince Fania, and greeted him from his subjects to the royal family: "Grand prince, good day. Meteor is here on invitation. I am flattered to receive such a grand welcome. I hope No trouble for you."

Fania patted Luke's shoulder with both hands, with great strength.

"A very strong body, and amazing wisdom... If you join the army, you will definitely become an invincible general. Now that the empire is facing many wars, it is a great time to build great achievements."

The eldest prince had a certain evaluation of Luke's military power, and he expressed his favor for Meteor, hoping that he would join the Southern Front War.

Facing Fania's blatant poaching, Luke said euphemistically: "I'm already overwhelmed with trivial matters in Rage City, and the tasks assigned by the headquarters of the Bureau of Secret Affairs are also very heavy. I really don't have the energy Join the army again, thank the First Prince for his appreciation of me."

Fania was not dissatisfied, he never thought that Meteor would come to work so easily.

This meeting is for the two sides to explore the bottom line and discuss conditions.

Fania dragged Luke to the prepared room, saying good words along the way, praising his achievements in Raging Waves City.

"Almost every day now, people tell me that the economic vitality displayed by Raging City is much, much better than that of Grover. Raging City is full of opportunities and wealth... I already know that there are several lords , to go to Rage City to open a factory, and gradually transfer the production capacity of the factory here in the imperial capital.

At the cabinet meeting, Chief Assistant Gabriel also mentioned an intention...that is to merge the five towns around Raging City into Raging City, and then relocate the population to Raging City to double the size of Raging City. "

Entering the room, the two sat down separately. Luke asked curiously: "Master Chief Assistant really mentioned this intention?"

Fania waved everyone out, including Sinclair, and said to Luke after the door was closed: "I didn't expect that! But it's just an intention, far from being submitted to my father.

Even if I don't tell you this news, it will reach you soon. Gabriel wants to negotiate terms with you. "

Luke was interested in the subject.

Right now, only land and population are limiting the development of Raging Waves City, especially land.When the existing idle land has been developed, urban development has reached a bottleneck, and land expansion must be prepared for a rainy day.

As for Gabriel wanting to negotiate this issue with himself, let's talk about it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me about this. Raging Waves City's next economic growth requires more land to be realized. The intention proposed by Chief Assistant Gabriel is a great thing that is beneficial to the empire.

I think your Highness will definitely support you. "

Fania laughed and said: "Whether it is a good thing or not needs to be discussed by many parties. And I am not a cabinet minister, and Agatha's opinion has more weight than mine.

By the way... Agatha probably didn't know that Governor Meteorite came to my place. "

"she does not know."

Fania asked again: "From your performance in Raging Waves City and after you came to the Imperial Capital, you should not hide from her the important matter of your coming to Silver Manor."

Luke leaned back on the back of his chair with a wistful expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has the talent of an emperor, and I also intend to assist her to become the first empress of the empire. But this time she refused to listen to my dissuasion, and must form an alliance with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. I can't help but worry about the future."

Fania asked: "Father entrusted me with the war on the southern front, and many ministers in the court have voted for me. I have almost sat on the position of crown prince. Alec and Agatha want to check and balance me, is it right to join forces?" The best way?"

Luke looked at this room, which was tall and magnificent, and the large murals told the heroic stories of the founding period of the empire.Crystal chandeliers cast soft light, and the air is filled with luxurious magic spices.

Fania saw Meteor's worry and said, "Please rest assured, there are only you and me in this room, and no one can hear a single word we talk about."

Only then did Luke say: "The eldest prince should know that His Majesty is very concerned about the life extension experiment recently. The war arrangements on the southern front, he is not favoring you, but has to use you.

You should know what I mean. "

No one dared to say such words to Fania, so when Fania heard these words from Meteor, she was immediately enlightened!
As the eldest prince, Fania insisted on not marrying a new wife after his wife's death for so many years, in order to win over the Joshua family, which has a very strong influence in the military.

In this battle against the Tedgar Hills of the Celtic Grand Duke, the Northern Legion in the north mobilized troops to fight on the southern front, which increased the military power controlled by Fania.

If Augustine the Great just wanted to choose the Crown Prince, then this was clearly in favor of the First Prince.But Emperor Augustine still wants to live another 500 years. It is not a good thing for you to have so many troops in your hands.

Fania felt his neck was chilly, and he asked Luke, "Did you tell Agatha these words too?"

"I said it... I told her that it's best to do nothing at this time and reduce His Majesty's attention. Whether the war on the southern front goes well or not, it's just a waste of His Majesty's evaluation of the First Prince.

Moreover, the two princes did not go to the front line after receiving the appointment, and they all guarded the imperial capital, as if they were waiting for His Majesty to die. What would His Majesty, who still wanted to prolong his life, think? "

Fania felt that her neck was being tightened, and she felt a little suffocated.

If it wasn't for the meteor to wake me up today, I really don't know how I died.

"You have analyzed so thoroughly, why didn't Agatha listen to you?"

"Because she thinks it's just a matter of luck... She joins forces with the second prince and will persuade him to go to the western front to cultivate an army loyal to him.

If the eldest prince sees the inside story and chooses to go to the south line, then no one in the imperial capital will compete with her.Once there is a change in the palace, neither you nor the second prince can rush back.

And even if you still insist on staying in the imperial capital, then you can enjoy His Majesty's suspicion..."

"Since Agatha took over the Bureau of Secret Affairs, she has become more and more vicious!" The eldest prince, who knew Agatha's strategy, couldn't help scolding, and then asked Luke, "Don't you support her doing this?"

"Of course I don't support it!" Luke said firmly: "His Royal Highness only cares about the throne, but doesn't care about the consequences of doing so.

The court has changed, she can proclaim herself the emperor of the empire, but the two princes have troops outside.The empire fights for the sake of the three, the hereditary nobles will surely counterattack, and the enemy country will also take the opportunity to invade.

I have tested in Rough City that my development concept is correct, and I want to promote it throughout the empire.I want to assist a Ming Lord to create an unprecedented prosperity and open up a large territory for the empire.

Instead of wasting the rest of your life in civil war! "

The more Luke talked, the more excited he became, as if he had millions of strategies for governing the country in his chest and had nowhere to use them.

Fania was also very excited.

The ancient national warrior Wushuang is nothing more than this!
Fania grabbed Luke's hand across the table and looked at him affectionately: "I spent the first half of my life preparing for the empire you imagined. Come and help me, and we will become the most shining emperors of this era And Shoufu!"

Luke drew his hand back.

"Your Highness, I'm here... not to be effective."

Fania froze for a moment, then laughed: "I understand, I'm just impatient. Being able to hear your true heart is my biggest gain this time, and the door of my place is always open to you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I don't want to disappoint the Eldest Princess. I hope that His Highness can forgive her for her mistakes after she ascends the throne."

Fania thought of the rumors related to Meteor and Agatha, and said with a smile: "Except that Agatha should not covet the throne, other talents are the capable ministers that the empire needs. Don't worry, as long as Agatha When Sha confesses to me, I will definitely forgive her."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"And if you want me to forgive her, even if you don't pledge allegiance to me, you still have to serve me. How should I break the trap that Agatha set for me?"

Luke replied: "This trap arranged by Her Royal Highness is very clever and cannot be completely cracked. My suggestion is... to launch several large-scale main force duels in the Tedgar Hills. While causing large-scale casualties between the enemy and ourselves, The battle line remains stagnant.

The loss of the elite of the Northern Legion will reduce His Majesty's suspicion.A stalemate in the war will increase His Majesty's dependence on you.In this way, if you stay in the imperial capital, His Majesty will endure even if you feel uncomfortable.As long as there is no major victory or defeat on the southern front, you are safe, Your Highness. "

Fania nodded.

Taking the elite of the Northern Legion to fight recklessly means that he is not greedy for military power.There is no decent result even if you fight hard. The army representing the Celtic Grand Duke is indeed very strong.As long as the southern front remains invincible and fights from time to time, the empire will not easily change its strategy on the southern front.

Even if his father knew that he was waiting for him to die, he would endure it for the sake of the overall situation.

"It seems that we can only procrastinate like this, waiting for the court to change. I will write to General Joshua immediately to inform him of the situation here."

Fania and Joshuaer began to formulate a strategy for the southern front, which was to use the original garrison army on the southern front to consume the barbarian army, and the elite northern army would wait for the opportunity to pick peaches and win a few beautiful battles.Consolidate his influence in the court with successive good news, and improve his father's rating of himself.

By the way, he can also promote his own people to the lost southern defense army.

Now it seems that this is a minus point.The more beautiful the northern army on the southern front fought, the more dangerous they were.If he swallowed up the southern defense army again, he would still be waiting for his father to die in the imperial capital... It was really courting death.

Out of fear of Augustine the Great, Fania changed his strategy on the southern front. Instead of taking the opportunity to expand his military power, he wanted to reduce some of his own military power.

Luke's purpose of coming to Silver Avenue is mostly completed, and the rest is to talk about jointly destroying the abyss mages in the imperial capital.

At this time, Fania has trusted Luke to help her out of the potential crisis, and naturally believes that Luke wants to sweep away another crisis for herself, the future Mingjun, and close the case of attacking Princess Del.

I also just took advantage of this good opportunity to make some people shut up forever, and it is normal to kill some people by besieging the abyss mage.

After everything was settled, Fania, who was assisted by Meteor, felt that she was infinitely closer to the throne.

"Don't worry, Governor, I will definitely use my influence in the court to promote the passage of the proposal to expand Raging Waves City at the imperial meeting. Saint Lun City is the brain of the empire, and Raging Waves City is the heart of the empire. An empire with a healthy brain and a strong heart In order to continue to become stronger.

When we settle the internal problems of the Empire, we will swing the Iron Fist of the Empire to the world.

At that time, I will tell him in front of my father's tombstone: His era is not the peak of the empire, I am the greatest emperor of the empire! "

Luke recognized it very much: "A great emperor needs to have extraordinary wrists and a heart that only accommodates the world. It was Princess Dai who let me see these elements in you, and it also made me make up my mind to visit this time."

Fania asked: "Have you seen Princess Dai?"

"I found her and placed her in Miss Weatherlight's museum. I can confirm that the person who attacked Princess Dai was the abyss mage, and it was Princess Dai who provided me with a little clue.

Please rest assured, Your Highness, Princess Dai'er did not know that the abyss mage did it. "

Fania finally knew how the meteorite found her head. It must be that the gang of assassins did not clean up, and Daier found the clue.Fortunately, it was Meteor that found Dai'er. If someone else found her, it would be a very troublesome matter.

This time, those who failed to achieve success and failed to succeed should be completely eliminated.

"Great! I've been worried about Dai'er's safety since she disappeared. Knowing that she's safe and sound this time, I can finally sleep in peace.

Thank you, Governor Meteorite!

After eliminating the abyss mage, Dai'er can return to the palace, and our father will be very happy.

Oh... I also want to congratulate you!
You rescued Princess Dai and lived a happy life with her, which is simply a fairy tale that can be sung forever.

We'll be family too! "

Fania was really happy, and even thankful that the assassin she sent messed things up.The result is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing... When Meteor marries Dai'er, it will naturally alienate Agatha.

One day I will gain your loyalty!
