Section 46 Laubert
Emperor Laughbot didn't seem to hear the words of his prime minister, he shook the wine glass in his hand, the blood in it turned regularly in his shake, his eyes stared at the spinning red wine, his expression was very fascinated.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing that the emperor ignored him, Duke Nick called out unceremoniously, and his voice was a little louder.
As if recovering from his contemplation, Laubert looked up at Duke Nick and then lay down lazily, looking at the blue sky through the huge window, and asked, "My brother, do you remember the great battle thirteen years ago?"
Duke Nick was stunned by the question, apparently he did not understand why Emperor Laubert had suddenly mentioned the Great War, which he remembered as his childhood friend having rarely mentioned since he was crowned Emperor.
The Duke followed the gaze of His Majesty the Emperor, and there was a boundless sky.
The two of them were thinking back to the great war thirteen years ago.
Duke Nick said, "Of course I remember, my two sons almost died in that war!"
"Click!
The emperor turned his stiff neck, and at the same time withdrew his gaze from afar, he stared at the red wine in his hand again, and said in a low tone: "At that time, the puppet emperor ordered the guard office to arrest us, which was a violation, but at that time, the security office in Yekjar town followed the puppet emperor's order to search for the two of us in the whole city...... So, fuck the fuck violation!"
"But your current Emperor, the ruler of the Empire!" said Duke Nick, "your duty is to keep the Empire running effectively before the laws of the Empire. β
"That's your duty and right, my Prime Minister!"
"No, it's all yours, I'm just looking after it for you!" Duke Nick looked very serious.
Laubert smiled noncommittally, "Do you remember who saved the two of us in Yekjar at that time?"
Duke Nick was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had guessed something.
The duke did not immediately answer the emperor's questions,
And Laubert is not in a hurry.
After a few minutes of silence, Duke Nick said: "I will not forget that it was Sir Gus El who saved us, he was the liaison officer of the military port security office in Yekjel Town at that time, and he lent us the liaison ship of the guard office, so that we had the opportunity to escape back to Crewe City by sea, and only then did there be a war between the Zora family and the Jean family of Felde Territory and the puppet emperor in the future to unite Klan City!"
"But these are two different things, you can't..."
"It's one thing, my brother!" interrupted Nick with a grin, the Emperor sipped down the wine in his glass, "I secretly summoned Gus El after my coronation, and he swore allegiance to me in the presence of the gods... Six years ago, he became the chief of the Security Service at my instigation, and this time, I was simply using Gordon Ayle's case to take over the authority of the Security Service. β
Duke Nick's heart froze when he heard this, although he was a little surprised, but he was not surprised, he had had such a conjecture when Gus El had risen from a small liaison officer to the highest commander of the guard service six years ago.
The Duke observes His Majesty the Emperor, who has grown up with him almost since childhood, from the side.
In the eyes of outsiders, His Majesty Laubert enjoys all day long, and women and wine never leave him.
But what outsiders don't know is that His Majesty the Emperor holds the most important lifeblood of the empire: the empire's financial revenues and the intelligence network of the governor, Bailly.
And now, he is in control of the guards.
"You're still so stingy!" Duke Nick said with a sudden smile.
"I've always been so stingy!" Laubert admitted, gazing out the window at the endless sky again.
The same goes for Duke Nick, who is lying on the couch, feeling the cool summer breeze and half-squinting out the window.
The two were silent.
After a long time, the Duke said: "Your Majesty, Gordon Eyre's case is not so simple, there are a lot of implications behind it, even the Marquis of Fett is just a pawn in the hands of others. β
"You mean the people who call themselves the Tower of Dawn? they're just a bunch of clowns... The guards will take care of these issues, Gus El reported to me yesterday afternoon!" Laughbott said confidently and haughtily, "these people will pay for their stupidity. β
Duke Nick turned his head sideways, looked at the confident emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the people of this organization are very dangerous, Gordon Eyre even claimed to be one of them before he was killed, if it weren't for the accident, he would be the next supreme military officer, that is to say, the people of the 'Tower of Dawn' have been able to influence the promotion of imperial cabinet officials." β
Laubert stretched his arms comfortably, his eyes staring at the ornately decorated ceiling, "Gordon Eyre is indeed capable, this is obvious to everyone, and he is the husband of the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Fit, he was able to rise all the way through the Imperial Military Department, and it was only because of the stupid Marquis of Eden!"
"Both the Marquis of Fett and the Marquis of Eden are nothing more than insignificant pawns, and we need to find out who is really behind the scenes!" Duke Nick insisted on his opinion.
Laubert glanced up at the Duke noncommittally, and then turned over comfortably, "Then you can check, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, this kind of thing is your duty." β
"Your Majesty, Sir Gus El..."
"Gus El is of great use now, don't touch him for now. β
"But he has a problem!"
"Do you have proof?"
"Not yet. β
"Then let's do it firstβ" Laubert looked impatient.
"Your Majesty, the guard is not up to Sir Gus El alone... This kind of department is different from the other institutions of the Empire, it is independent of the Lion Castle and the cabinet, if there is no one within it to restrain Gus El, even if there is no problem in the short term, but in the long run, there will be problems!" Duke Nick stared at Laubert with blazing eyes, "He has three squadrons of fully armed military forces in his hands, all of them have formal military training, and they are stationed near the Lion Castle. β
"But I need such a guard now!" Laubert was unmoved.
Need such a guard service?
Duke Nick was stunned, and secretly repeated this sentence, then his heart beat violently, and the thumb of his right hand shook slightly, he subconsciously played with the ruby ring on his thumb, stared at Laubert and said, "The meeting of the six dukes?"
"Yes, the best thing you should do now is to prepare for this meeting!" Laubert closed his eyes and began to fall asleep, obviously not wanting to talk any further.
If others are naturally gone.
But Duke Nick won't.
He will continue to persuade.
