"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Wait, Mi Lu, don't move."
"Ok?"
Facing Fei Ya's sudden request, Mi Lu, who had just finished breakfast, tilted her head, and Fei Ya stood up, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of Mi Lu's mouth across the table.
"Claire will be here soon. Mi Lu hasn't seen Claire yet, so she needs to pay attention to her image."
"...I'm not a child."
"Hasn't Mi Lu always wanted to know about Claire? Why does she seem unhappy?"
Mi Lu is similar to Claire in some places, if Claire sees Mi Lu, she should like her very much.
"Not unhappy."
"No, no, this expression is already unhappy."
As usual, Mi Lu's heart is unpredictable.
Fia didn't spend too much time on this, and she soon began to explain to Anastasia what happened in Aurora City.In addition, although Fiya really wanted to call Liti over, but considering that the current timing is more critical, if she took the initiative to ask Liti to meet, she might involve Liti in an incident that she shouldn't be involved in, and the third princess It's one thing to be willing to let someone go, so Fia gave up and asked Liti to come over.
Prince Xia Yin should rebel quickly, so that I don't have to bother so much.
Praying in her heart, Fia happily told everyone what happened with Claire.
Chapter 49 Prince Shane's Trouble
Snapped!
"Damn things!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the cup being smashed and the man's roar, the atmosphere in the whole room was so tense that it almost froze. The people standing by the wall looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to go forward to comfort Prince Xia Yin who threw the cup.
However, Prince Xia Yin never thought that someone would persuade him, he just paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not caring that his trousers were wet with water, and kept breathing heavily.
"Who the hell! Who leaked the news! Why doesn't that stupid woman, Erin Slate, die!"
The roar was so loud that even the windows were shaken and buzzed, as if he finally couldn't see the past, a bald man with the same bad complexion and a fat body stepped forward, he was Count Reinhardt, In the early years, he was favored by Prince Xia Yin before he successfully competed with his brothers and sisters, so he became Prince Xia Yin's helper.
Count Reinhardt put his hand on Prince Shane's shoulder and forced him back to the sofa.
"Aldridge, none of us want things to develop into today's situation. The most urgent thing is to think about what to do next, instead of losing your temper at everyone here. You must be steady."
In order to adjust his emotions, the red-eyed Prince Xia Yin took a deep breath. He knew that what Earl Reinhardt said was reasonable, but he still couldn't contain the anger in his heart. He glanced at the door of the room as if he was looking for the prisoner. Nobility lined up.
Most of these nobles are young elves, and all of them are small nobles who are located in the capital and have a bad status and family background. Nobles provide monetary support.Now it was time for Prince Xia Yin to use them, but they had problems one after another.
When Prince Xia Yin knew that the Eldest Princess had lost her memory, he did not come to the capital immediately. Instead, he first summoned his elite troops and ordered them to disguise themselves and sneak into the capital to make preparations.
These people brought a large number of magic weapons and crystals and hid them in the homes of the little nobles, just waiting for the moment when Prince Xia Yin gave an order. They were found out one after another. At first, there were only one or two families. Today, as many as five families were found out in just one morning.
Even if this group of little nobles were discarded pawns from the beginning, with such a large number, it was enough to shake Prince Xia Yin's capital.Although the guards led by Eileen Slate searched from house to house and along the streets, and did not precisely find a specific nobleman, the house-to-house search of the nobleman was strange enough in itself.
Nobles are no better than civilians. They are the face and mainstay of the empire. Unless the evidence is convincing, the military will not issue an order to stand up for the imperial guards. Now Erin Slate's actions have told Prince Xia Yin one thing. There are ghosts, there are nobles who betrayed themselves.
This is also the reason why Prince Xia Yin called these little nobles. Of course, this group of people is not all, they are just the nobles that Prince Xia Yin thinks are more suspicious.
Thinking of this, Prince Xia Yin felt angry again. He glanced at the nobles standing at the base of the wall with their heads bowed silently, as if to find clues from their actions, but in the end, he didn't recognize them. No one was suspected, everyone looked very scared, with a look of fear that they were afraid that disaster would happen to them.
Even cross-examination failed to find out the results, and it was even more impossible to find the suspect by sight alone. Thinking about it carefully, although these little nobles had some communication with each other, they were not to the point of knowing everyone, not enough for Irene. Lei Te provided detailed information, perhaps the mole came from a more terrible upper echelon.
Prince Xia Yin let out a heavy cry with his nose, and he waved his hand towards the door.
"It's none of your business here. Everyone goes to the housekeeper to get three gold coins, and just say I said it. Also, be honest recently, and move everything that can be transferred to other places. Don't be fooled by that stupid woman." Find it!"
"Thanks, thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
Not only did they not get troubled, but they also got three gold coins for nothing. The young nobles all showed gratitude and hurriedly left this luxuriously decorated noble room.
After a short period of busy work, there were only four people left in the room, besides Prince Shane and Earl Reinhardt, as well as Earl Reinhardt's third daughter Roka and Prince Shane's male confidant.
An eerie calm with only the sound of breathing enveloped everyone.
Until Rocca—an elf girl with red streaks in her long white hair broke the silence. She rested her right hand on her chin, looking like she was thinking.
"Everyone has no possibility to inform. It seems that the ghost is not a small nobleman, but someone above them."
Roca's conclusion coincided with Prince Xia Yin's thoughts, but Prince Xia Yin, who was sitting on the single sofa, still replied out of rational thinking.
"These little nobles only know that I hide weapons and some people with them, and they don't know what I'm going to do. The only people who know the whole process are the Earl of La Faria and a few other nobles. They and us It’s a grasshopper on a rope, it’s impossible to betray us.”
"Is it possible that their family members leaked the news?"
Seeing Prince Xia Yin taking out a pipe, the male confidant who was guarding behind Prince Xia Yin hurriedly stepped forward to light it for Prince Xia Yin.
"Hiss..." Prince Xia Yin took a deep breath, and he looked back at his cronies in surprise, "It's possible, but what good will it do them to reveal the crime of treason? With the amulet of domination, the Imperial Guard is not our opponent, let alone There are still many of us in the fourth and fifth teams, and we are not without chance of winning."
"Who knows, that princess is so thoughtful, she might have planted an introduction among us a long time ago."
Prince Xia Yin's brows suddenly frowned. What the cronies said was not unreasonable. If it was the seed that had been planted a long time ago, he would betray himself without too many reasons.
However, family members are no better than servants. Prince Xia Yin can believe that the housekeepers or maids of Earl Lafaria and others are bought, but he never believes that the family members will also be controlled by the eldest princess. Think carefully, his son will betray his father and help Princess?As long as he dies, his son can take his place, and the benefits of helping himself are far greater than the benefits of helping the eldest princess.
Although you can't believe in blood ties too much, you can't underestimate blood ties too much. Unless the eldest princess can buy people's hearts from the mother's womb, it is impossible to learn the secret from her family. After all, if the eldest princess knows what she is going to do, why not Just jump out and stop yourself?It's just that Eileen Slate searched the nobles instead of directly finding her door, which shows that the information the eldest princess has is not complete, and she actually doesn't know that she intends to seize power by force.
As if knowing what Prince Xia Yin was thinking, his confidant added again.
"For example, those family members who are now or have been unsuccessful, they are most likely to be taken advantage of by the Eldest Princess."
"Hehe... Is Mr. Helian suspicious of me?"
With the back of her hand covering her lips, Roka, whose white hair was highlighted red, said with a smile.
Prince Xia Yin waved his hands repeatedly as if he found it troublesome.
"Roka, you know that Helian didn't mean that. If you were the one who betrayed us, our secret would have been known to the eldest princess long ago, not even the underwear left."
Immediately following Prince Xia Yin, Earl Reinhardt also quickly touched Roka's head, his fat face was full of embarrassment.
"You still haven't forgotten the past... Luoka, my father didn't treat you like that on purpose back then, you know, the dark descendant disease is contagious, and besides, those maids who framed you back then, I also killed them one by one in front of you It's..."
Facing Earl Reinhardt's apology, Roka just stretched out his hand to block Earl Reinhardt's hand, and the haughty face that rejected the courtship of countless nobles was full of disdain.
"If it wasn't for good luck, I would have died on the street long ago. I didn't have the dark descendant disease but was falsely accused of dark descendant disease. Now I have to be dragged by you, father, to make suggestions. This is a head-scratching thing."
"Haha..." Count Reinhardt rubbed his hands and smiled shyly when he saw his daughter making a fuss.
"Humph."
With her hands folded in front of her chest, Roka turned her head reluctantly, leaving only Count Reinhardt awkwardly stroking his bald head.
Generally speaking, even a father who dotes on his daughter would not indulge his daughter so much in front of outsiders, but Earl Reinhardt and Roka are special existences. Abandoned to the orcs of the Cold Moon Alliance as a cursed person, after a while, Roka, who escaped by chance, was found not to have the dark-born disease.
Although Earl Reinhardt was determined to abandon Roka after seeing the dark-born disease lines on Roka's back with his own eyes, but when he saw Roka's back without lines again, he couldn't help but doubt that he had seen it before. Wrong, Roka does not have dark-born disease, plus what Roka said - she was framed by a maid who hated her with drugs, and then took Roka into the house again.
It is worth mentioning that because "Luoka suffered unbearable abuse from the orcs", after returning home, Luoka's mind is much more mature than her peers, and she thinks things more comprehensively.
In just a few years, she has become an extraordinary helper who can advise Earl Reinhardt, so Earl Reinhardt is very fond of Roka, and as long as Roka moves out of the past, Earl Reinhardt will not be able to lift her up. At first, I could only giggle.
Seeing that the father and daughter started to quarrel again, Prince Xia Yin smacked his lips.
"Okay, you father and daughter can go back and talk if you have something to say. No one knows how long Erin Slate will go after, we must first think of a countermeasure. Although Graian's death has helped me, let Godlei promised us, but those people in the royal city didn't grow up vegetarian, and our strength is not enough, especially my dear brother on the opposite side. Whether we should seize the opportunity of his absence or lay dormant for a while, we have to be serious consider."
Seeing Prince Xia Yin getting back to business, Luoka also cleared her throat and put on a serious expression.
"In my opinion, Anastasia no longer serves as the second captain of the Imperial Guard. This is our opportunity. We can use a little relationship to let our people sit in that position. Although he will not be able to order The people under your command can help us, or you can stand still. There are only two troubles, one is the eldest princess herself, and the other is the group of people guarding the back gate of the king's city. As for the Elf King, as long as you get the blessing of the holy tree, Prince Xia Yin protect..."
Luoka secretly glanced at Prince Xia Yin, who was frowning and hesitating, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, it's better to lie dormant for a while. The current situation is complicated and confusing. We are not absolutely sure of winning. In the final analysis, we lack the combat power to fight against the eldest princess. If she is not in the capital, everything is easy to say."
"But I missed the opportunity for Dophelia to lose her memory. Her position will only become more and more stable. The longer the time drags on, for us..."
"That's impossible, right? Father, don't try to compete with someone who can defeat General Greian in a frontal battle. It's courting death."
The communication between Earl Reinhardt and Roka made Prince Xia Yin's face even more gloomy. As Earl Reinhardt said, the longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be for him.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, as if something important had happened.The people in the room first glanced at each other, and then Count Reinhardt stood behind the door and asked.
"Didn't you tell me not to disturb us?"
"Yes, it is a very important matter! Earl!"
Hearing the servant's anxious voice, Earl Reinhardt opened the door. The person who knocked on the door was his confidant, and the confidant said out of breath as soon as he entered the door.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty fell into the abyss for several days and did not return. Maybe... maybe died!"
Chapter 50 The Cobweb
As if finally unable to withstand the heavy pressure, the impenetrable dark clouds slowly spewed out a drizzle, and although the fine ox hair sprinkled on the body did not have much strength, the coldness of the moisture quickly evaporating under the breeze was combined with the chill of autumn Invading the upper body still makes people feel uncomfortable. No one likes the cold and sticky touch.
However, Prince Xia Yin was not unhappy because of the weather at this time. On the contrary, apart from surprise and suspicion, he only had nervousness, excitement, excitement and the pleasure of getting revenge.
At last he had waited for the day when his dear brother, Yeledo Alexia Florence, died.
Although according to the servants, Yeledo is only "possible to die", but everyone knows that once he enters the abyss, he will not be able to return. The explorers who went down have never been able to come back after falling directly into the abyss, even if they were the quasi-eighth-ranked elf kings covered in protection.
Even the gods and dark descendants were forced to move to the World Tree Continent. How can a mere quasi-eighth rank compete with the abyss?
Thinking of this, Prince Xia Yin felt an unstoppable ecstasy in his heart. He seemed to have seen the empty throne beckoning to him. His hands trembled with excitement, and he even quickened his steps. Even the cronies holding the umbrella behind him became unable to keep up with his footsteps.
——He was on his way to the royal city.
When he came out of Wangcheng in the morning, he was still full of hesitation. He didn't expect that his mood would change drastically in just a few hours. He couldn't help but sigh that fate is so ironic.
"My lord, please go slowly!"
Because Prince Xia Yin walked too fast, his cronies had no choice but to plead in a pleading tone, and this voice suddenly reminded Prince Xia Yin that he was walking at the gate of the royal city full of eyeliners, so he shouldn't be so excited, at least Can't put a smile on your face.
He pretended to stroke his chin to slow down his pace, then raised his head and glanced at the people around him with the whites of his eyes.
A few meters away, those familiar southern nobles were rushing towards the gate of the royal city with serious expressions. The preoccupation and uncertainty on their faces showed that they had also heard the news of the emperor's death.
If the Eldest Princess hadn't lost her memory, the sudden collapse of the Elf King wouldn't disturb the southern nobles. All they had to do was follow the procedures. But now that the Eldest Princess has lost her memory, how much weight do they still have in the Eldest Princess' heart? Then they become unknowable, and they will naturally feel uneasy when the bright future at hand suddenly becomes blurred.
Thinking of this, Prince Xia Yin couldn't help feeling proud. The southern nobles had always been at odds with the northern nobles. As the leader of the northern nobles, Prince Xia Yin was naturally happy to see his opponents defeated.
Wait, now that Dophelia has lost her memory, shouldn't she pretend to be sick and not show up?
Prince Xia Yin suddenly frowned and stopped.
The death of the emperor is not a trivial matter. According to the rules of Shiliwal, even if the king dies when he is established as the crown prince, the crown prince is not allowed to carry out the enthronement ceremony immediately. This is a basic etiquette. At this time, the crown prince can act on behalf of the king. , but is not a real king in name, and as long as there is no enthronement ceremony, there is room for mediation in many things.
At this time, my dear niece lost her memory and her foundation was unstable. If Dophelia was in a hurry and risked the crime of being stabbed in the back and put her under house arrest, wouldn't it mean that she took the initiative to enter the wolf's den at this moment?
Prince Xia Yin broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and he began to feel that those southern nobles passing by were actually monsters pretending to be by Dophelia's cronies who were eyeing him.In case of being placed under house arrest by Dophelia, he really can't come up with a good solution except for his cronies to quietly lead someone to rescue him, and once the time is delayed until Dophelia completes the enthronement ceremony, all his efforts so far will be in vain .
He has indeed accumulated a lot of troops, but this is not enough to be used as the capital for a direct rebellion and separation from Hillival. If he wants to use his troops to confront the southern nobles head-on on the battlefield, the chance of winning is less than [-]%.
He felt that his throat was dry and burning like he had a bad cold, and he subconsciously reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Seeing his livid face, the confidant at the side asked with concern.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Go back, go back quickly, just say I'm sick."
"But you've already come here... Isn't it good to say you're sick now? Everyone else is looking at you."
As the aide said, those nobles who were walking beside and behind Prince Xia Yin stopped suddenly because of Prince Xia Yin, and looked sideways at Prince Xia Yin.
Like a thick impenetrable barrier, it oppresses people so that they cannot breathe.
The sight of the nobleman gave Prince Xia Yin such an impression.He came to King City to confirm whether the news of the Elf King's death is true or not. If the Elf King dies, then now is the best time to act. He must confirm with his own eyes that the Elf King is dead before he can act with confidence. Think of the possibility of being detained.
The sight of the surrounding nobles is like a whip that urges a person to go to the gallows, pushing him to move on—no, it’s just to lose face and be suspected, it’s better than taking the risk of being detained, if he is under house arrest, No matter how good the opportunity is, it can only be missed.
Fake illness on the spot, take the opportunity to go home, and hand over the confirmation to Lafaria and Earl Reinhardt.
After making up his mind, he acted immediately, and Prince Xia Yin whispered to his cronies with movements that would not be noticed.
"Afterwards, they said that I was in too much grief and sent me back to the mansion."
"You are going to..."
Before the cronies could finish speaking, Prince Xia Yin's legs went limp, and he fell towards the cronies holding the umbrella.
And at this moment, the confidant also understood what Prince Xia Yin meant, and he showed an extremely flustered look. First, he threw the umbrella aside, supported Prince Xia Yin who was bowing his head with both hands, and then shouted Prince Xia Yin's name loudly. He didn't forget to wipe the rain on Prince Xia Yin's face, making Prince Xia Yin look even more embarrassed.
"My lord, my lord!"
