Chapter 1047 Chapter 278. Digging with the Councillor
Annan leaned forward slightly in his seat, showing that he was listening attentively.

"Do you know Princess Sayles?"

It really is this matter...

"Have heard a little bit."

"Princess Sayles is the king's sister. She was imprisoned in the dungeon because she was involved in the case of the second prince..."

The chairman of the parliament talked about the secrets of the royal family in the lounge where only he and Annan were.

Annan had heard these things from Princess Sales herself, but this time from a different perspective.

Princess Sayles believed that she was deliberately abandoned by the kingdom and tortured by the ratmen. But according to the head councillor, this was an accident.

Someone deliberately left Princess Saiers to the rat people. In other words, they left Princess Saiers, who has pure royal blood, to the rat people. Or... they left the blood of the Montreal Golden Family to the rat people...

This was so horrible and indescribable - from negligence and forgetfulness to the existence of rat-men spies in the kingdom's high-ups - Annan had known about it a long time ago, wasn't he the king?
"I need you to investigate and find out the culprit who betrayed the princess and the rat-man spies lurking in the upper echelons. This matter is far more important than catching a few Free Blades." The head senator looked solemnly towards the east, as if he could see through the snow and mountains and see a ruined old capital.

There was confusion on Annan's face, but it was not fake.

Had the Councillor not been corrupted by the Skaven like his brother?

But shouldn't he have noticed that Clo was different?
Or are these two waves of ratmen from different tribes trying to sabotage each other?
"Why me?" Annan couldn't help but ask.

"I need someone who is as loyal to the royal family as I am. That's you."

The Councillor said with an approval that would make all the young talents in the kingdom tremble with excitement.

"And you're pretty good at catching mice."

Annan couldn't refute it.

"How long will it take you to find clues?"

"About seven days."

In fact, Annan already has a clue, but he would maximize his benefits by not telling it now.

"How many days?"

The chairman of the parliament, who had originally planned to give Annan a month to investigate, withdrew his gaze from the distance.

"Uh... five days?" Annan thought the Speaker was dissatisfied.

The chairman of the parliament looked deeply at Annan's face for a moment and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

Annan stood up, turned around and tried to leave, then turned back: "Uh... Mr. Councillor, what if someone tries to stop me?"

The head of the parliament exuded the majesty of a superior: "I will give you an order. You can ask Agarwal to cooperate with your investigation."

"That's not necessary..." Although it was nice to give orders to Agarwal, Annan was worried that he would not be able to control his fist and hit that ugly face.

"Can you give me a talisman so that I can summon you to help me when I need it? In fact, I have admired you for a long time..."

Annan still had a glimmer of hope: Olmedo's uncle seemed to be uncorrupted and still cared about his family... What if? What if he could join Liberty City?

That’s 4:4!
The councillor smiled and said, "Okay."

……

"That's it. Now the Speaker of Parliament is my backer." Annan said in a boastful tone to his stunned subordinates.

"Do you think I can become the youngest councillor in the kingdom?"

The men closed their mouths and said, "Wake up, Lord Annan. Do you really intend to have a place in the kingdom?"

That being said, Annan's advancement in status was so fast that it made people jealous.

It's understandable that the king values ​​Annan, after all, he is young. But the chairman of the parliament is the protector of the kingdom. The kingdom didn't die at the hands of ratmen and demons because of the chairman of the parliament. Even he values ​​Annan... No young man in the kingdom will think "I can do it too" anymore.

Back in his room, Annan opened the portal to Liberty City.

In order to improve efficiency, Olmedo kept a heavy horse in the office to ensure that Annan could see him as soon as he opened the portal.

"Why are you in touch again so soon?"

"Do you know your uncle?" "Have you ever asked this question once..."

"Because I met your uncle again." Annan recounted their conversation: "But the point I want to talk about is not this. Go ask Gale whether the Stoon clan has any conspiracy against the empire."

Olmedo asked Ingrid to ask, and she came back soon after to say that it was true.

"It's actually true..."

Annan talked to himself and told Olmedo his guess.

“Let’s notify Montreal first,” Olmedo said.

I don’t know if it’s a good idea to bring the Empire into this…

It would be fine if the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Rekanel was confirmed, but I am afraid that the Empire will stop the war... There has always been a force within the Empire that prevents Liberty City from declaring war on the Kingdom.

Annan did not hesitate and contacted Ou Lin again to tell her his findings and conjectures.

"Please help me tell Princess Sayles. Maybe she can figure out who the murderer is."

"it is good."

Olin's style of doing things revealed the efficiency of a knight. Later, Olin returned from the palace garden around the mountain with a reply from the palace: Got it.

"knew?"

"understood."

It seems that he really only answered with one sentence.

This is interesting to ponder...Does the Empire mean that they know, or have they known it for a long time?
As for Princess Sales, she provided several names, including a prince.

"Olin, have any strange people appeared near the manor recently?"

“They don’t dare.

How blind must one be to dare to cause trouble for our ancestors?

"Got it. I'll go ask Xianna and the others."

Annan contacted the Waters family of Seltovis. They were collateral descendants of the Golden Family and should also be the target of the ratmen.

At this time, Xianna and her daughter were staying in the manor.

As soon as their mother saw Annan, she hurriedly got up and left. Annan had to ask Xianna and Ai Xue if there were any strange things or bad people nearby.

Xina said that there were indeed some strangers wandering around the manor, but they disappeared soon after.

"I see."

It seems that the Empire also knows about it, so Annan doesn't have to worry about it...

"Annan! When...when will you come back to visit?"

When the portal was about to close, Xianna asked expectantly, holding her hands.

"I'll go back after the war is over." Annan smiled.

Finally, Olmedo was told that they didn't need to worry about this matter, and Annan focused on catching the ratmen.

He first compared the names Princess Sales mentioned with the list, and actually found a duplicate name: Graton, the warden of the old royal capital.

Then let's start with him to cover up the truth.

……

"Master Olme is coming towards us?"

Gratton's eyes widened as he listened to the housekeeper's anxious words.

"Master, the people that Olme arrested were all nobles who cooperated with us. Could it be that Milburn was the one who bit us out..."

"Who else could it be? He really doesn't know how to live or die..." Although he said so, Gratton believed that he was no match for Master Olme: "Go find Grand Duke Barbatod and ask him to help!"
