After Prince Sinda left the courtyard, Emperor Rubot walked to a nearby cluster of flowers, and took a white ice orchid in his hand at random.

"The white Binglan is like a holy goddess. Queen Diper whispered.

The Emperor smiled and threw Binglan into the dirt among the flowers, "But it was never the holy goddess. ”

"Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to me today. The queen stared at the ice orchid, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, "Why, didn't those little lovers of yours come to you today?"

Ignoring his wife's sneer, Laubert glanced at the empty courtyard and said, "Let your brother, Duke Eric Jean, come to the imperial capital." ”

"He won't listen to me. The Queen's eyes flickered slightly.

"Then you invite him in the name of the Empress of the Empire, I don't think he will refuse the Empress of the Empire's invitation, right?" said King Laubert in a deep voice.

Empress Diper smiled faintly, "What happened?"

"Half a month later, the Duke of Chester of the Cliff family in Cullen City, the old Duke of Baoge of the Dhora family in Crane City, the Duke of Garner of the Barrett family in Watt City, and the Duke of Enxi of the Ella family of the Hoko Islands will all arrive in the imperial capital, what, does the Jean family want to be absent from this meeting?"

Laubert stared at his wife with half-squinted eyes.

"Oh, plus our Prime Minister, Duke Nick, the six major dukes of the Empire are all gathered in the Imperial Capital, what do you want to do?" the Empress returned to her seat and sat down.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to ask some questions. Emperor Laubert patted the water droplets on his hands because of the ice orchid.

"I've heard that the barbarians and orcs are gathering their armies, so don't be afraid if you're in a hurry for them to come to the imperial capital at this time..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Emperor Laubert interrupted his wife, "There are people who are more terrible than orcs and barbarians, and they can dismantle the foundations of the empire, such as the Marquis of Fett. ”

"Fett has long been kicked out by the Jean family, and everything he did in the imperial capital has nothing to do with the Jean family. The queen said categorically.

"Break it off with him in such a hurry, my dear, he's your own brother. ”

"The mistake he made is unforgivable, the Jean family has long since denied his bloodline, his marquis title was installed by you, I objected at the time, he is not worthy of being a nobleman at all. ”

"I wish your brother thought the same way. Laubert shrugged.

"It's my brother's own exile, and you shouldn't doubt my brother. Dippel gritted his teeth.

"Huh. King Laubert chuckled, "I hope I'll see him in half a month." ”

With that, he stopped and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the hallway.

"Samp!" Dippel shouted.

"Your Highness. ”

"Fett is still in contact with the Gene family?"

"This... I'm not very sure. ”

"Where's Scott?"

"He shouldn't be aware of it, we rarely leave the Prince's side. ”

"Hmph!" the queen stared coldly at Semp, "don't let me know the truth, or I'll make you fertilizer for these flower clusters." ”

"I really don't know. Senpu's tall body instantly fell to his knees, his face pressed against the ground.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful!" the queen scolded, "tell my brother that he must arrive in the imperial capital in half a month, and say that the queen of the empire invited him to the banquet." ”

......

......

Time was in a hurry, and two days passed quickly.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the 24th, Pedy came to the headquarters of the Security Service to meet with the Chief of Guards, Sir Gus El.

In the break room outside the Commissioner's office, Sean, the Commissioner's assistant, greeted Pedi warmly, but stopped him at the door and made him wait for nearly an hour.

The furnishings in the Commissioner's office are the same as they were when Pedi first reported to the security office more than a month ago, with a simple set of desks and a set of reception sofas.

Assistant Sean brought a cup of black coffee, which the guards loved, and then walked out of the office in a playful manner.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" said Guselle, putting down the quill in his hand and looking at Pedi who was sitting on the other side of his desk.

"After Sergeant Owa was killed, his family received a special allowance," Pedi pushed away the coffee on the table.

Gus El smiled, "He is one of my secret agents, and I have already entrusted him to secretly investigate the case of the deputy military officer, otherwise you think it is really such a coincidence that the adjutant of a small police station can find such an important clue?"

Pedi spread his hands, and he looked like he was exactly like that.

Gus El stood up and shoved the coffee in front of Pedi again, "You should have found some clues." ”

"That's what you're here for," Pedy said, picking up his coffee, "Is there really a ghost in the guards? ”

"After three hundred years of development, every department is full of rottenness, even the guard and the court. Gus El looked like he was right.

"So, are you rotten? ”

Pedi stared into the other's eyes, trying to spot something in the other's gray pupils.

"What do you want to see in the eyes of the Chief of the Imperial Guard?" said Gus El with a self-deprecating smile as he pulled a cigar out of a drawer, trimmed and lit it expertly.

Pedi frowned as the familiar smell of tobacco invaded his lungs.

"Would you like to give it a try?" asked Gus El.

"No, thank you, I'm afraid my salary can't support it. Pedi shook her head in refusal.

Old Sir shrugged, "That's a pity. ”

"Suck!"

"Whew!"

Tobacco grew brighter and brighter in Old Sir Smoking.

Pedi didn't speak again, he waited for the old knight's inquiry to ask again.

But the old knight was silent, and consciously told him that the case was close to the truth.

After a few minutes, the old knight asked again, "Tell me what you found." ”

"I've found the ultimate owner of that dagger!" said Pedi's holy power, and he probed his surroundings for all possible eavesdropping methods.

"Pure and peaceful holy power, it's been a long time since I've seen such a powerful holy power, young man, I hope you can stick to your beliefs. ”

"I don't have any faith!" Pedi shook his head, "I just believe in divine power. ”

"Divine power never lies, and you will find the faith in your heart that you will fight for all your life. Gus El said with a smile: "So, now let's talk about the 'last owner of the dagger' in your mouth." ”

"A magician, a disciple of one of the twelve councillors of the Drake Mage Tower, however, he seems to have been expelled from the Mage Tower now, and before the murder, he was in the black market of the imperial capital, and there is information that he worked for the Marquis of Fett for a while. ”

"Where is he now?"

"A gathering place on the outskirts of the city. ”

"Are you sure? You've been exposed?"

"There are more rats behind me than in the sewers these days, and there's no way to confirm it myself, but I have my way. Pedi said with a smile.
