The atmosphere in the King's office in the inner hall of Kawalburg is very serious.

The three intelligence chiefs of the kingdom buried their heads in their chests, their eyelids drooping and looking at the heels of their desks, breathing briefly. The killing intent exuded by the young ruler sitting upright on the office chair in front of him, and a chill that was so cold to the heart that the three of them couldn't help but shiver.

After a few seconds of silence, the corners of Baron Hanina's mouth twitched, and when she was about to say something to ask for details and persuade appropriately, Don Wright-Dick next to her hurriedly replied: "Within half a month, I guarantee that the old mulberry tree outside the city will be full of their corpses!"

"Then do it!" Pedi pointed to the door of his office, and he looked at Baron Hanina, "You are solely responsible for this matter, and you will exercise the king's power on my behalf!"

Baron Hannina glanced at Don Wright next to him, nodded decisively, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you will get everything you want." With that, she bowed and departed with Don Wright-Dick.

"Pedaling"

Danmen Green listened to the footsteps of the two leaving, and his nervousness could no longer be suppressed. He could clearly feel the anger and dissatisfaction of the young ruler opposite, and he didn't want to face this master alone at this time.

"Bang!" the door closed.

Despite a cold wind rushing into the office between the doors and the doors, Danmen-Green was suddenly sweating profusely.

"What are you nervous about?" Pedi frowned, "You're my MI, the Kingdom's MIO! As he spoke, he pulled a pair of papers from his desk and pressed it with both hands, "The way you look makes it hard for me to trust you anymore, what are you afraid of?"

Danmen Green was about to cry when he heard Pedy's words, and he didn't know what he was afraid of, let alone when he began to fear the young ruler in front of him.

Maybe... It was when he wielded the butcher's knife in the place of the other party, maybe... It's a long time and intrigue in the company. And these made him slowly grow fear in his heart as time passed, and he was afraid of everything related to His Majesty!

Pedi let out a cloudy breath, he didn't feel the pleasure of dominating his subordinates when he looked at Danmen-Green, and the uncontrollable fear from the other party made his mood suddenly become more irritable. But he was a king, and he couldn't show his annoyance, so he suppressed his irritability and walked to the window of the office and looked at the knights who were training outside.

After a long time, Pedi said:

"Maybe... Perhaps the number of nobles executed by me may be more than the total number of nobles executed by all the ancestors of the Reagan family in the past two hundred years!"

"I don't know why so many nobles died at my hands... I just wanted to do something, but there were always people who jumped out and restrained me with the laws of my ancestors! Some nobles would have rebelled, such as Bell Cade and Bane Lockton, but in the end I won, and there was more blood left. ”

"They say I'm a tyrant, they say I'm as brutal as the puppet Emperor Barit, they say I'm a dictator!"

"I don't know why things are the way they are..."

"Trust me, Baron... I don't like killing, I sometimes think, forget it, it's okay to get by, everyone can just compromise with each other and get by, there's no need to make it look like the sky is going to fall... I know that the noble ancestors I executed had fought for Kru for countless days and nights, and that their legendary adaptation city could fill this room!"

"So, I always give them a chance, give them a chance to change!"

"However, they took the opportunity I gave them as my weakness and took it for granted!"

"From the beginning of the commercial reform to the later reform of the local territory, every time I have consulted with our ancestors in accordance with the laws laid down by them..."

"But they can't see tomorrow in their eyes, they only see the benefits of the present..."

"Well, I admit that there is some dictatorship at this point, but I don't recognize my tyrant, because I don't kill indiscriminately... Maybe in the eyes of most people, there is no difference between my behavior and indiscriminate killing, but you shouldn't be unaware. ”

Pei Di withdrew his distant gaze and turned to look at his Chief of Military Intelligence, "The work of the Military Intelligence Department has almost stood still in the last six months, what are you doing?"

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, I—" Danmen-Green suddenly felt stupid in the face of these words.

"The duty of MI is to keep my eyes from darkness, and although Baron Hanina is in charge of all the intelligence of the kingdom, I have given you the right to meet you directly... But you haven't come to me once in months, and I've almost forgotten what you look like!" Pedi's voice was stern and angry, "I trust you, and you're doubting your king!"

Danmen Green was already prostrate on the ground by this time, unable to utter a word.

"Stand up for me!" Pei Di scolded, "As a minister of the kingdom, you have to look like a minister!" he looked at Danmen Green's appearance at this moment, and he was so angry that he walked quickly to his desk and rang a bell that led to the door.

Four or five seconds later, Knight Otwood, the secretary general of the kingdom, pushed the door in, he glanced at Danmen-Green, who was standing tremblingly, closed the door, looked at Pedi and shouted "Your Majesty" respectfully, and waited for the order.

Pedi pointed to a document he had pulled out of his desk, "You take a look at this document first, and then show it to our Chief of Military Intelligence!" With that, he took two steps in the direction of his office chair, but his irritability made him turn back and sit down on the guest couch by the window, and open the cigar box on the coffee table.

By the time Pedi began to swallow the clouds, the Atwood Knight was already reading the contents of the papers.

As time passed, the stiff expression of the Atwood knight began to change slightly. Ten minutes later, he read the document and handed it to Danman Green as Pedi had told him.

As soon as Danmen Green opened the document, Pedi said, "Okay, I know you can tell the back of this document at a glance... This is the follow-up investigation report of Baron Aemond's embezzlement case, everyone knows the truth, and I am the only one who does not know the truth!"

"This case is under the direct responsibility of my secretariat. Pedy stared at Danmen Green, "MIA is fully cooperative... Half a month, I will give you half a month, and after half a month, the truth on this document will become the real truth!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Otwood didn't hesitate to take the order.

Danmen-Green bowed down and was about to say yes, but Pedi waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, let's go down." ”

The moment the two of them retired, Petdy threw the cigar in his hand into the ashtray and walked to the office fireplace, sat down on the upholstered wooden chair, picked up the tongs and skillfully stirred the charcoal fire inside.

Between the flames, a scorching fire roasted the pavement. But Pedi still felt cold, so he began to add charcoal to it, and when sweat was oozing from his forehead, he put down the tongs in his hand.

After leaving the dormitory in the backyard garden, Pedi felt a chill seeping into his bone marrow with him at all times. The flames can't dispel it, and no matter how thick your clothes are, you can't take it.

In this short period of time, Pedi thoroughly understood the meaning of 'cold in high places'.

As the ruler of the kingdom, he has a vast land and rules over tens of millions of people.

He is high up and seems to be omnipotent,

But in reality, it was difficult for him to even get out of the castle.

Everyone in the kingdom is trying to deceive him with lies, and he can only observe the whole country from reports under flowery words.

In the past, Pedi always thought that Emperor Rubrot was too stupid, because everyone knew that the empire was rotten to the bone, but Laubert, as the emperor, did not know at all.

He secretly spat on the rule of Laubert and Sinda,

He was confident that he wouldn't follow the same path as the two men, because he thought he was very smart.

And in fact, he is really smart. Because of that strange crossing thirteen years ago, he had excellent insight that no one else could have, and later his research and learning allowed him to gain countless knowledge, which made him wise.

When he was a child, others would praise him for being smart, and when he became an adult, everyone said that he was wise, and when he was crowned queen, this praise accompanied him all the time.

Everyone likes to listen to the language of praise, and Pedi is not a sage, he also does. In the midst of these compliments, Pedi himself slowly felt that he was omnipotent.

As an all-powerful king, it is natural to think that no one can deceive him, and no one dares to go against their will.

But he didn't know that under the high platform he was on, there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him every moment. They would look at every part of him with a magnifying glass and study the meaning behind his every word.

When these people studied him thoroughly, lies began to appear...

As a ruler, when you choose to believe these lies, bigger lies will be compiled around you. When everyone gets used to lies, the country slowly decays.

Pedi had previously dismissed his father's admonitions, as he felt he could discern a lie. But when the lie really came to him, he didn't even notice it.

"Is this what it's called 'doubt everything, and believe everything?'" Peidi muttered, and suddenly his own performance from some time ago suddenly sounded in his mind, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The flames rising inside the wall fire were slowly decreasing, and Pei Di no longer added charcoal fire to it, he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and there was no one behind him. His subordinates and subordinates are no longer around, or he has trusted subordinates and subordinates at all.

After a long time, he got up and left the warm fireplace, walked to the door, and opened the door. Ser Willy, the captain of the guard at the door, and the knight Rory-Grida immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

"Go and tell my queen that I will go to the queen at noon to-day to dine at the queen's. ”

When Rory Greda nodded, Pedi continued: "Let Sir Sir Cilla Marne and Sir Edwin Flynn come as well. ”

...

The Kingdom Police Department, which had supreme power during the old Kru Lordship.

But with the establishment of the kingdom's power and the formation of Daisy-Pombo's cabinet, the authority of the police department is diminishing day by day. Later, after the chief Don Wright lost the right to meet the king directly, the status of the police department fell to the bottom.

The establishment of the urban garrison corps has made the police officers on the streets of various cities disappear without a trace.

But has the police really lost their former authority?

This may be the case in the eyes of most of the nobles in the kingdom, as they no longer need to rely on the police to defend their interests after the emergence of the cabinet.

In the psychology of the people at the bottom, the police station is still high in the morning.

Today, His Majesty summoned the Chief of Police again after a three-month absence.

When Baron Hanina and Don Wright returned to the police station's headquarters next to Twilight Square, all the officers began to guess the purpose of the king's summons.

Office of the Director-General,

Don Wright invited his clerk and secretary out, and when he and Baron Hanina were the only ones left in the room, he opened the soundproof magic circle in the room.

"Why are you so impulsive, can you take this task casually?" Baron Hanina, with a little dissatisfaction in her words, walked to the wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, pulled out a red potion from the drawer, skillfully bit the cork on it with her mouth, and tilted her head to drink.

"We have no choice, teacher. Don Wright looked at Hanina, "This time, His Majesty the King is serious, although you know His Majesty better than me, but you don't know him, he is no longer the sheriff of the imperial capital... Do you know how many nobles he executed in the last year?"

Hanina frowned, and Don Wright continued: "Last year, around this time, someone provided a list to His Majesty, and His Majesty gave me that list, asking me to arrest the people he had flagged above... I did so, and in the end, all of them were put to death, and we announced that only thirty-six were put to death... Yes, it was true that we only executed these people at that time, but then I received the list of people from His Majesty one after another... For a while, I even wondered if I had arrested the entire nobles of Crewe!"

"You..."

"I thought you knew that. Don Wright interrupted his teacher, "But now it seems that you don't know, you don't even know what kind of person His Majesty the King is in our service, maybe he is still a child in your eyes, and I thought so when I first saw him... Choose a child who is easy to control, and then achieve our ideals..."

"Teacher, you better give up these unrealistic ideas. "Your Majesty is beyond our control, he may make some extremely stupid and naïve decisions at some point, but when he gets serious, no one can disobey his will..."

"This is not the Imperial Capital, and His Majesty is not Laubert or Sinda, his kingly power comes from himself. You see Daisy-Pombo's maturing authority, but in my eyes their authority could fall at any moment. ”

Hanina frowned, "Even if you are a king, you can't be an enemy of the entire kingdom!"

"This is the Kingdom of Kruria, not the Old Empire... You only see the old Kru Realm, you only see the representatives of the nobility behind Daisily Pombo, but this kingdom has a much greater power, and they have been gathering power in the shadows..."
