Monster gazed in the direction the black shadow disappeared, silently praying that this news would reach Gustav's ears as soon as possible, bringing new hope to the Empire's drought. He deeply knew that the discovery of the purple melon might be the key to solving the Empire's food problem.

Shadow Guard Ryan Connor, as an elite specifically used by the Empire to transmit urgent intelligence, shouldered a great responsibility.

When he felt the urgent letter on his chest, a sense of excitement and pride welled up in his heart.

This was the first time since he became a Shadow Guard that he had escorted such important intelligence, and he knew that his every action and every decision was related to the safety of the entire Empire.

The moment Ryan Connor entered the palace, the light of the Illusion Breaking Magic Tower illuminated his figure like daylight. His invisibility technique was exposed under the light of the magic tower, immediately arousing the vigilance of the palace guards. They acted quickly, some drawing their long swords, some drawing their bows, locking onto Ryan Connor's figure.

Ryan Connor didn't panic at all. He quickly and skillfully pulled open his black cloak, revealing the bright red new cloak inside.

Embroidered on the back of this cloak was a warhorse with four hooves stepping on fire, which was the symbol of the Shadow Guard. Seeing this symbol, the captain of the palace guards immediately recognized Ryan Connor's identity, and he quickly waved his hand to signal his men to lower their weapons.

Ryan Connor didn't stop; he knew the urgency of the time. He passed through the guards' defense line and walked straight towards the depths of the palace. In his heart, there was only one thought—to deliver this intelligence to His Majesty as soon as possible. He knew that this intelligence might change the fate of the entire Empire, and he was the key figure in this turning point.

Ryan Connor arrived at the entrance of Gustav's bedroom, his heart filled with a sense of urgency.

Just then, a guard in silver armor appeared in front of him, it was Sophita.

Ryan Connor immediately recognized this Shadow Guard Captain directly under Gustav's command. He quickly saluted and presented the urgent intelligence from his chest.

Sophita nodded, took the letter and a wooden box. Her eyes revealed solemnity and determination. Without hesitation, she immediately turned and rushed towards the Radiant Palace next to the Imperial Palace bedroom.

The Radiant Palace was where Gustav usually worked and met with ministers, and it was also the political core of the entire Imperial Palace.

Sophita knew that only by reporting the intelligence directly to Gustav could she ensure the fastest processing and decision-making.

She walked through the long corridor, came to the door of the Radiant Palace, pushed the door open and walked in.

The Radiant Palace was brightly lit, and Gustav was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. Seeing Sophita rushing in, his brow furrowed slightly, but then relaxed, because he knew that Sophita's appearance must mean there was something important to report.

Your Majesty, urgent intelligence from the Wenk Royal Manor!

Sophita's voice revealed an undeniable urgency.

Gustav put down the document in his hand and took the letter handed over by Sophita.

The other ministers who were in the meeting couldn't help but look solemn. Neumann looked at Breyer and asked in a low voice, "Has there been any minor activity from the foreign races on the border recently?"

Breyer thought for a while and shook his head, saying, "If there was, I would have reported it long ago. Could it be that other feudal nobles are making small moves?"

Neumann was choked by the question, only because the two issues of disaster relief and drought had already made him overwhelmed.

Horns appeared to be sitting upright, but his ears clearly heard the content of their conversation.

The current Imperial Chancellor Robert snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the two for such a major oversight and still being unaware.

Gustav opened the envelope and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the sender was Monster.

He began to read the contents. As he read, his expression gradually became solemn. The importance of this intelligence exceeded his imagination.

Everyone, take a look! This is the message that Monster just sent on horseback. I heard that that kid Soren has stirred up another earth-shattering thing.

Gustav's words were full of excitement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more difficult to conceal.

When the ministers present heard this, their originally tense nerves relaxed as if relieved of a heavy burden, and they exchanged a reassuring look with each other.

Immediately afterward, everyone's curiosity was completely ignited. What important matter could possibly require such urgent delivery?

Horns, the shrewd minister who had had many dealings with Soren, acted the fastest. He deftly reached out and snatched the letter into his hand, leaving Chancellor Robert, who was slightly slower, only able to widen his eyes, his beard almost twisted with anger.

In the Holy Prague Empire, the official system was unique. A chancellor with power over the court, ministers of the four departments each performing their duties, plus eight chief officials with both literary and military talents, together constituted the power core of this country.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the letter in Horns' hand, looking forward to revealing what new tricks that kid Soren had come up with.

After Horns finished reading the letter, he couldn't help laughing heartily and handed the letter to Chancellor Robert next to him.

Minister Neumann glared at Horns dissatisfiedly, seemingly unhappy with his behavior.

Although General Breyer was full of curiosity, seeing Horns' appearance, he guessed that the content of the letter was probably related to civil affairs and had no direct connection with the affairs of their army, so he was no longer so eager to find out.

Chancellor Robert took the letter, studied it carefully, and then slammed the table and laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, this is really great news! Your decision to send the Seventh Prince to the Wenk Royal Manor was really wise." His laughter was full of joy and excitement, as if the content of the letter had brought him great joy.

The other ministers and chief officials also came forward to check the letter.

At the same time, Sophita, who had just gone out, came in with a maid carrying a plate of purple melon cakes. She placed the plates in front of each minister.

They already knew what purple melons were. The people present were either royalty or great nobles, how could they eat this kind of livestock food?

Gustav didn't care about this. Sophita had confirmed that these purple melon cakes were very safe and edible. As the most powerful foodie in the empire, he was very interested in any delicacy.

Gustav only tasted the first bite of the purple melon cake, and his eyes immediately lit up. The purple melon cake was soft and glutinous in the mouth, with a delicate texture, with a faint, unique aroma, and a slightly sweet taste that slowly spread on the tip of the tongue, making people have endless aftertaste.

He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Not bad, really not bad." His words were full of praise and love for this snack.
