Imperial capital, late at night on May 11.

On the first day of the meeting of the six dukes, the proceedings finally came to an end.

Ten minutes earlier, the main terms of the 'free trade agreement' had been largely finalized in the presence of the five dukes, Count Ron and Count Stu, who was now making the final presentation on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.

When the dust settled, everyone's faces showed a tired look, especially Duke Nick, who seemed to age ten years in an instant, and there was not the slightest trace of blood on his face.

"Hey, my brother, you're all right. Duke Gna looked at Duke Nick in astonishment, and he suddenly spoke in the middle of Earl Stu's recounting work, and the concern on his face did not seem to be a fake.

Duke Gna's voice immediately attracted everyone, and everyone present followed his gaze, and when they saw Duke Nick's sickly face, they were all stunned.

And Count Stu, who was meticulously making the final statement, couldn't help but stop his work and look at Duke Nick, he looked at the other party's pale face, subconsciously took out his pocket watch and looked at it, now, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

"I think that's it for today. Duke Eric frowned, his magic sensing that Duke Nick was a little weak at the moment.

"No problem!" said Count Stu, smiling as he closed the stack of papers in his hand, "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the meeting will continue." With that, he bowed and took the lead off the table.

"Are you all right?" Duke Enxi couldn't help but ask Duke Nick.

"Don't worry, I'm a paladin, although I haven't used my holy power for almost ten years. Duke Nick shook his head, "It's just a little out of strength just now, and it will recover soon." ”

"I think you should look at your body with the academy master, my magic senses that your vitality is very weak for a moment!" Duke Eric said in a voice that only a few of them could hear.

"Does it matter?" said Duke Gna's eyelids fluttered.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, don't forget, I'm a paladin, and the Holy Force keeps me from all diseases!" Duke Nick said as he stood up, "I just need to go back and rest for the night, and tomorrow morning I'll be more energetic than any of you." With that, he beckoned to a few people and left the table.

"It seems that the Prime Minister of our empire is no more relaxed than that. Duke Enxi muttered as he looked in the direction of the door.

"Of course!" the Duke of Chester nodded heavily, "The war for the throne thirteen years ago tore the entire empire apart, and now the empire is still able to maintain such national strength is all due to Duke Nick!"

"You're actually going to help Duke Nick speak, when did the Cliff family and the Reagan family become so good!" Duke Gerner made a very exaggerated expression.

"I'm just telling the truth. The Duke of Chester shrugged, ignoring the Duke of Gna's teasing.

"But the truth is that the empire is slowly rotting in the hands of Duke Nick. The Duke of Gnawner, perhaps because of the Duke of Chester's indifferent appearance, subconsciously retorted: "For Nick's sake, and for the sake of the Empire, I think we should consider changing the Prime Minister." ”

"That's not Duke Nick's reason at all, and if it were someone else, it would only be worse. Earl Ron smiled faintly and appropriately rejected the proposal.

Duke Enshi glanced at the statue-like Governor Bailly and Baron Camp at the door and said, "Although Duke Nick has really handled some things badly over the years, it is undeniable that he is a qualified prime minister. ”

The successive opposition of the two made the Duke of Gna slightly stunned, and he looked at the other two.

"I've made my attitude clear, haven't I?" said the Duke of Chester.

"Humph!" Duke Eric let out a heavy snort from his nose, "The Empire has become what it is now, and all of us are responsible... Also, Duke Gna, there are some things that anyone can say, but you can't. ”

With that, Duke Eric stood up abruptly..."clang" The back of the chair behind him made a dull thud as he suddenly moved to the ground, and then, ignoring the crowd, turned and walked quickly away from the conference room.

"I—" Duke Gnar was stunned, looking at Duke Eric's back and trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything until the other party walked out of the conference room.

"I'm just saying what you want to say. Duke Gna muttered.

"That's not what I want to say. Duke Enxi turned his stiff neck, "Besides, who do you think is suitable for the position of prime minister in the current empire? You must understand that the prime minister of the empire is not just the head of the cabinet. ”

Count Ron nodded, "Right now, we're at war with the orcs, and changing the Prime Minister will only make things worse. ”

"But I think that the more times like these, the more Duke Nick, as the ruler of one of the six autonomous territories of the Empire, should not continue to remain in the position of Prime Minister of the Empire... Don't you feel that he is in this position now, which makes us a little embarrassed. Duke Gna was blunt.

"There are two sides to everything, and I feel that at such a time, the Prime Minister of the Empire must be one of the six dukes. "The Duke of Chester has a different opinion.

"That's what I think. Count Ron said immediately.

"I..."

"Oh, well! alright!" Duke Gna waved his hand to stop Duke Enxi, "let's stop talking about this damn topic!"

"Haha!" Duke Enshi walked over and patted Duke Gna on the shoulder, "We don't understand the so-called ideals of Duke Nick and Duke Eric, and don't try to figure it out, we should learn to be realistic... How about staying up until the end of the meeting, do you want to party all night?"

"This is your reality?" said Duke Gna with a strange look at Duke Enxi.

"Sure, very realistic, isn't it?"

Duke Gna was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed 'haha': "Okay, then we will drink all night tonight, the sunset red of Felder Collar was just extorted from the Chamber of Commerce of Felder Collar yesterday, two large barrels!"

"Then what are you waiting for!" Duke Enshi's eyes lit up, and then he turned to Duke Chester and Earl Ron and asked, "Are you going?"

"You're sure you're going to Duke Gna, he smells so good you'll vomit all the day's food!" said Duke Chester with a teasing laugh.

"What do you mean!" said Duke Gna, for he saw the ugly faces of Duke Enshi and Count Ron.

"Literally. The Duke of Chester shrugged.

"Knock knock" Earl Ron tapped the table to attract the attention of several people, and interrupted the 'quarrel' between the Duke of Gna and the Duke of Chester, and when the crowd looked at him, he proposed, "Go to me." ”

"Great idea!" The Duke of Chester's eyes lit up.

"That's it. Duke Enxi smiled and patted Duke Gna on the shoulder again.
