The child of darkness is Cleverley, so the soul that has just awakened is naturally Cleverley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cleverley looked a little dazed when he just opened his eyes, but his eyes immediately regained focus and quickly locked on the dark shadow in front of him.

"It's you."

"It's me."

It sounds like an inexplicable answer, but it seems to have some kind of tacit understanding.

Cleverley stood up and moved his muscles for a moment before he sighed pleasantly, "It's good to be alive." ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Prime Minister Paul walked over from the entrance, completely ignoring the surrounding "sacrifices" who had fallen to the ground and died, and his face looked a little serious: "This is not the place to talk, let's go." ”

The dark shadow spoke again: "I don't have time to waste on small talk, it's about to dawn, and I must return immediately." ”

After saying this, the black shadow turned into an extremely faint puff of smoke again, and instantly floated out of the underground hall.

Cleverley shook his head and walked out of the underground hall side by side with Prime Minister Paul.

"Bang!" The heavy iron doors of the hall were slowly shut, and if nothing else, the underground hall with thousands of corpses would be sealed forever after today.

The two walked out of the exit of the rockery, and it was the morning light on the horizon, and the fresh and cold air gently brushed on their cheeks, which made people involuntarily feel refreshed.

There was a faint sound of people shouting and neighing horses from the next manor, as if a young master was about to set off to hunt with his friends, but the Rose Night Manor across the wall was deserted, and no signs of human activity could be heard or seen except for Cleverley and Prime Minister Paul.

The two of them walked into the manor's dining room, where two delicate breakfasts were already on the table, and on the guest side were veal steaks, fruit salad, and a glass of wine from the Bordeaux region of the Kingdom of France, all of Cleverley's favorite meals on weekdays.

Cleverley had a smile on his face, "I have to say that you have a careful enough butler. ”

The two of them sat down, Cleverley picked up the knife and fork in his hand, cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, and then sighed contentedly: "The days without food are a nightmare, if you can't enjoy the food of the world, what's the point of living?" ”

Prime Minister Paul smiled and did not speak, but raised the glass in his hand.

The morning sun rises over the horizon, and the warm sunlight shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows into the dining room, shining on the young and old.

The relationship between the two does not look like the relationship between the elders and the juniors, but more like the intersection of the peers.

After a while, all the food in front of Cleverley was swept away by him, and the resurrected son of darkness burped and patted his belly with some satisfaction, and then said, "Dear Prime Minister, let's talk about business, how are we preparing for tomorrow's election meeting?" ”

"The Electoral?" Prime Minister Paul smiled slightly: "You and I both know very well, it is just a gimmick used to deceive those naïve princes and princesses, our Spany Empire established the country by force, and the successive emperors are all high in the world and dominate everything, when will it be the turn of ministers and generals to dictate the choice of emperor?" ”

"But this gimmick proposed by you, Prime Minister, has deceived everyone, and even made many people participate in it with all their might." Cleverley smiled, "To be honest, this makes me a little confused, is there not even a smarter person in the officialdom of the Empire?" ”

"No, you're wrong." Prime Minister Paul grimaced and said, "Aren't the only two smart people in the imperial officialdom sitting in this restaurant at the moment?" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the laughter was full of the thrill of the conspiracy succeeding.

After a while, the laughter gradually stopped, and Cleverley said, "Actually, I think our plan may be able to make some changes. ”

"Oh? Please speak. ”

Cleverley unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, an action he liked to make when thinking: "Actually, it's okay to make this Elector come true." ”

Prime Minister Paul frowned slightly, but there was a glint of interest in his eyes: "Go on." ”

Cleverley said: "We all know that there are only two ways to inherit the imperial throne in the empire for three hundred years, one is that the previous generation of emperors appoints a candidate with excellent performance, and the emperor dies to smoothly transition to the throne, and the other is that after the emperor's death, the sons compete for the throne, and the final winner ascends the throne. ”

"These two ways are essentially the princes' civil and military fights, and ministers and generals like you and me are just the objects and pawns used by the princes in the fight. And the model of the Elector that you proposed can change this situation. ”

The more Cleverley spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes flashed with a glint called ambition: "If the model of the Emperor Elector is really successful, so that the ministers and generals can dominate the selection of the emperor—"

"Then we will be able to have more power." Prime Minister Paul picked up the conversation and continued: "If the candidates for the emperor want to ascend to the throne, they must exchange something for the votes of the ministers. ”

"And what do the ministers need? What ministers need, of course, is more power. In this way, the power of the emperor was effectively weakened after the exchange, while the power of the ministers was strengthened. ”

"Yes." Cleverley smiled: "Prime Minister, although we all have the blood of the royal family in our bodies, the fact is that we are not members of the royal family, and we will never ascend to the throne. If that being the case, why not let the emperor on the throne give us and our children and grandchildren some of their powers? ”

The two looked at each other again and laughed.

Prime Minister Paul thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then our original plan should have to be changed somewhat." ”

"Yes, it has to be changed." Cleverley said, "If we can put our puppet prince on the throne during the Electoral Council, then there is no need to use the means that we have prepared, but if it fails-"

Cleverley smiled slightly, and the meaning of his words was self-explanatory.

Prime Minister Paul nodded and said with great certainty: "Then do it." ”

"That's right." Cleverley seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Prime Minister Paul: "I heard that the second prince has been poisoned by some strange toxins, I wonder how he is doing now?" If the second prince is no longer good, then you should have prepared another puppet, right? ”

Prime Minister Paul shook his head and said, "That group of quacks lied to me, not only was the second prince's soul completely corroded, but his fire of life has also been completely extinguished, but fortunately, we have another better candidate." ”

At this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Prime Minister Paul's face, and he took something out of his bosom and put it in Cleverley's hand.

Cleverley looked at the mirror in his hand, which was as smooth as new, and suddenly his whole person was stunned.

The mirror was facing Cleverley, but the face reflected in it was not the face of Cleverley, which was familiar, but the face of another young man, whose owner was supposed to be Julian.

The second prince, Julian.

Cleverley suddenly regretted what he had just said to Prime Minister Paul.
