The next day, at noon.

Richard returned to the reception, and Duke Cyril Sack, the honorary duke, had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and hurried out to greet him, and when he met him, he asked, "Lord Richard, where have you been?"

Richard glanced at Cyril Sark, did not answer the other party's words, guessed something, and asked, "Is it His Majesty the Emperor, has you already set a time to meet me?"

Cyril Sakelen paused for a moment and nodded without denial: "Yes." ”

"Then don't tell me, Your Majesty's set time is today. ”

"Not really, not in such a hurry. Cyril Sark shook his head, "Your Majesty's time is the morning after tomorrow, I just want to make sure that Lord Richard will be on time, don't suddenly disappear again." Anyway, what are you doing, I asked almost the entire reception desk, and they don't know where you are going. ”

"I just walked around Char City. Richard said lightly, "Okay, Duke Cyril Sack, I can assure you that I won't go out again when I come back this time, and I won't wait until I meet Your Majesty, how about it?"

"Thank you, Lord Richard. Cyril Sax sighed with a sigh of relief, "Then I'll pick you up in the morning?"

"I'm tired. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Cyril Sack departed.

Richard looked at Cyril Sack's back and blinked.

After that, Richard did what he said and really didn't leave at the reception until the day after tomorrow.

......

The day after tomorrow, early in the morning.

Not long after he got up for breakfast, the Honorary Duke Cyril Sack arrived in a carriage.

Richard didn't hesitate, got into the carriage with him, and drove towards the palace.

More than twenty minutes later, when he arrived at the location, Richard stepped out of the carriage and, led by Cyril Sark, walked through the palace gates and went deeper. As he walked, Richard observed the changes in the palace.

Speaking of which, he had been to the palace before, twice in total.

The first was a meeting with the previous emperor of the Union - Pyotr Romanov.

The second time was to participate in the succession ceremony of the eldest prince, Div Romanov, and witnessed the tragic death of the eldest prince on the spot, which in turn triggered a struggle for the throne of the alliance, leading to several years of chaos in the entire alliance.

Compared with the succession ceremony of the eldest prince, the palace as a whole has changed a lot in more than three years.

For example, the outer walls have been thickened many times, and the city gate has changed from red to gold, and the thickness has also been increased.

The stone slabs on which the feet are stepped on are all newly paved, and several palaces are also newly built.

The reason for this is that the emperor likes the new and hates the old, and spends the people and money for his own selfish desires. According to the intelligence, this is because over the past three years, there have been more than one battle inside and outside the palace, and with the participation of wizards, the palace has been turned into a battlefield, causing so much damage that it has to be repaired.

Speaking of which, the people of several parties who fought inside and outside the palace at the beginning should not have imagined that although they worked desperately, none of them succeeded to the throne later, but a person who had never paid attention stepped forward...... Richard looked at the newly renovated palace of the palace and sighed a little.

Sighing, he walked through the palace and continued deeper.

Along the way, the number of court servants he saw was increasing, most of them working quietly, and when they saw him approaching Cyril Sak, they immediately saluted respectfully—but without saying a word, for the new Emperor of the League hated noise, so all the court servants did their best to keep themselves alive as if they were ghosts.

This led to rumors from the outside world that the current Soma Alliance court may be the quietest place in the entire main continent.

In silence, Richard and Cyril Sark passed through several new palaces and reached a square.

On the other side of the square, an extremely majestic palace stood, the palace door opened, and many court officials stood inside, as if they were waiting.

This meeting is indeed very grand...... Richard moved his eyebrows.

Cyril Sack next to him walked here, already subconsciously lowered his voice and urged: "Lord Richard, it seems that His Majesty and everyone are waiting for us, let's hurry up." ”

Richard glanced at Cyril Sack and exclaimed, "Are you sure, Mr. Duke, if I want, the next time you inhale, I will be able to cross this square and enter the palace and meet Your Majesty, only...... Can you keep up?"

Cyril Sark was stunned, the flesh on his face twisted, obviously not expecting Richard to have this answer, and only after two seconds did he say, "That...... Lord Richard, you'd better slow down, wait for me, just a few minutes faster than now. ”

"Okay. Richard quickened his pace slightly, and walked with Cyril Sach across the square, ascended the steps, and stepped into the palace gates.

The moment he stepped into the palace, the nearly hundred palace officials waiting in the palace all turned their heads to look, and the new alliance emperor on the throne in the innermost part of the palace also cast their eyes.

Speaking of which, the new Alliance Emperor who has succeeded to the throne today is really an outlier.

In the past competition for the throne, many successors were regarded as the best candidates for the new emperor, such as the second prince, such as the fourth prince and the fifth prince.

Even the third prince, who is seriously ill and can only move in a wheelchair, is not different, and even has received more attention, many people speculate that the third prince is hiding clumsy and using his physical defects to cover people's eyes and ears, and will suddenly make a move at a critical moment and become the new emperor of the alliance.

In fact, the third prince really did this, and when the second prince and the fourth prince were fighting at their fiercest, they suddenly sent their elite forces that had been hidden for many years to join the struggle, winning a great advantage, and when they were most successful, they were almost one step away from the throne.

But at this step, the third prince did not take a step - he was pulled down by the sixth prince, and the entire force was "pressed to death".

And the sixth prince did not get a good result, after "pressing" the forces of the three princes, his heart swelled, and he surrendered the forces of the five princes who had been hit hard before with a high profile, trying to lay down the victory in one fell swoop. Who knows, the fifth prince pretended to give in, and suddenly turned back halfway, and a precise "backstab" made the six princes' forces fall apart.

In this way, in the past three years, Char's situation has been constantly changing, and various forces have emerged one after another. In the end, what everyone didn't expect was that a very ordinary existence quietly defeated all competitors and became the final winner.

That is the Ten Princes - Byron Romanoff.

Speaking of which, the tenth prince is not a very weak existence, and he is ranked ninth in succession, and he also has a certain identity. But the tenth prince is too ordinary - so ordinary that he doesn't have any characteristics, what others do, he will follow, what others don't do, he will definitely not be special.
