People in the palace may not be able to see it, but from the outside of the palace, the sky above the palace is like an invisible glass cover, and the cyan tornado sweeps back and forth in it, and people who are not in it can't personally feel the majesty of the wind pillar, but seeing this vision, it is enough to know that something is wrong in the palace.

"That's ...... Azure Field! ”

Dozens of miles away from the palace, on the high ground of Sumisipi City, the bell tower above his head has just struck the bell at four o'clock in the morning, and in the hazy and dark winter night, there are already pedestrians who have come out with a faint background, and Byron who returned to the guest room to rest drunk in the night banquet of the city lord's mansion, at this time there is no trace of alcohol in his body, standing at the height of the attic and looking into the distance.

He wore a morning coat, a loose linen shirt half open to his chest, and held a brass telescope more than a foot long in his hand.

When the hazy cyan wind was reflected in the lenses, Byron's dark green eyes with a hint of dark silver flashed with shock, enlightenment, and many other feelings, and finally calm:

"It seems that my father has been prepared for a long time...... It's fine, as long as it's not Odin...... Even the Azure Spear has been shot, and it seems that Odin's action this time is not small. Lynn's warning to me was correct...... I just don't know if my other two brothers survived......"

Byron muttered to himself, when the mirror tube was accidentally lowered, and he saw a carriage coming from the direction of the city gate and entering the lord's palace, the carriage system was evidently the one used by the courtiers to deliver the decree.

After thinking for a moment, Byron turned around and walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of Jinli wine, uncorked it, and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

The cold, high-strength liquor flows down the esophagus and into the stomach pouch, where there is almost no food at the bottom. Immediately there was a contraction and churning of instinct, and an urge to vomit immediately rushed from the hot stomach to the throat.

"Vomit ......"

Byron put down the bottle, covered his mouth, and rushed into the bathroom. After a burst of vomiting sounds, he reappeared, his face was already white and yellow, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and he knew that he had experienced a drunken hangover.

His hair was ruffled, his collar was torn open, and Byron listened halfway through, and there seemed to be a slight movement outside, as if someone was tiptoeing outside the door.

Byron knew that this was an anomaly in the palace and had reached the lord's mansion in the city of Sumisipi, and his subordinates were going to report it.

He lay back on the bed. I waited a little longer. The wandering footsteps outside the door became more and more frequent. He raised his hand and gently tugged on a thin rope with a white tassel hanging from the head of the bed along the wall line, and the door immediately tapped twice and opened silently.

"Your Highness. There is news in the palace that the courtiers of Godley have just entered the palace...... Oh, he's already here. ”

Master Green opened the door and smelled a strong smell of wine, and he knew in his heart and whispered.

As soon as Master Green's words fell, a voice behind him had already interjected in a little hurriedly, and suddenly raised his voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you to enter the palace urgently. Please hurry up and prepare! ”

A hangover and chaotic hoarse voice came from the place where the bed was, "...... Godley? I haven't heard it, who are you, why haven't I heard your voice? What about Count Jayfar? …… Oh, by the way, he should be by his father's side, Sir Nasori, Lord Pan...... What about them? ”

Byron said the names of several courtiers who were usually quite trusted by the emperor, and these people were distinguished guests even in the mansions of the major nobles, not ordinary courtiers.

Godley knew that this was Byron venting his dissatisfaction after being woken up drunk, in the past, this was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face for the courtiers, but this time Godley was just silent, "Several adults should be in the palace, Your Highness, Your Majesty is urgently summoned, please hurry up and enter the palace." ”

Smelling the smell of wine in the room, Byron didn't care about him at this time, but Godley was a little more convinced that His Highness had a hangover last night in the City Lord's Mansion and didn't know the situation in the palace.

Urged again, Byron seemed to be a little more sober and no longer angry, "...... Okay, call someone in, and I'll take the car into the palace immediately. ”

Not long after, a carriage drove out of the city lord's mansion in a low-key manner, and under the presentation of the token, the soldiers defending the city opened the gate without hindrance and quietly left the city.

As he approached the palace, the villas and manors along the way were closed and the lights were quiet, but Byron, who was in the carriage, could feel many eyes following the carriage through the curtains and the corners of the doors.

When he saw the moat of the palace, he saw many nobles gathered outside the palace gate, but there was not a single soldier at the head of the palace wall.

There is a legendary strong man who makes a move, of course, there is no need for army soldiers to insert it, and those words in front of the palace gate leaked into Byron's ears, and Byron immediately knew that these people still didn't know what was going on in the palace.

Of course, Byron didn't know what was going on in the palace, but because of Lin An's reminder and some speculation later, Byron knew very well that after Odin returned, the seemingly calm situation had developed to a critical moment.

This is also one of Byron's advantages as a prince, he has convenient access to the palace, and it is easy to get news and changes in the palace, from which he speculates and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, but the cause and end of this change happened in a short and confidential manner, even if it is an important minister who gets along with the emperor day and night, he may not know that the emperor has the intention of changing, so when an accident occurs, most of the ministers are blinded in the dark and do not know the inside story at all.

Since being pointed out by Lin An's words, Byron has understood his father's intentions, and he intends to limit the changes to a limited range, and when people finally understand the inside story, it is a foregone conclusion, and the impact on the situation and the situation of the country can of course be limited to a minimum.

The guards surrounded the carriage, keeping the nobles from approaching, and Byron did not show up, deaf to the voices of inquiry.

The courtier who delivered the decree came out of the corner door, and the palace gate that seemed to have no soldiers at the head of the wall slowly opened the gap, and after Byron and his party entered the door, Byron saw that there was also an acquaintance behind the door - Leonardo. Bencent.

Both Leonardo and Byron smelled alcohol on each other, and Leonardo's eyes flashed.

After he left, he returned to the villa, drunk himself, and waited until the emperor's courtiers banged the door. When he got out of bed, naturally no one would ask him why he didn't show up last night.

After Leonardo entered the palace, he didn't see the emperor, so he directly received the task. Tell him to take over the palace gate guards, and no one is allowed to enter except the summoned person.

Byron and Leonardo were tacitly aware of each other's drunkenness, ostensibly simply nodding their heads and not having any superfluous conversations.

After entering the palace, although it was only a wall, there seemed to be some kind of tense atmosphere, everyone quieted down, the soldiers were silent, and even the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be much softer.

Leonardo and Byron were silent, and the courtiers were not surprised. Present the token handover. Leonardo motioned for clearance. Byron's carriage rolled towards the harem.

Byron was not able to see the emperor this time, and only outside the door of a palace dormitory, he heard the emperor's slightly tired but still steady voice:

“…… You go to the side temple. Watch him. ”

Byron was stunned for a sentence without a beginning or an end, and immediately knelt down on one knee, "Yes." ”

After turning and turning, Byron was led by another courtier to a narrow and remote side hall in the far corner of the palace, and there was not a single palace guard in sight along the way, Byron almost thought that the courtier leading the way was Odin's man, and he was going to trick him into some desolate corner.

But when he entered the door of the side hall and saw a golden sword saint with a familiar face sitting cross-legged in front of the door, he finally confirmed who the person in the side hall was.

A strong feeling welled up in Byron's heart.

He couldn't tell himself. Whether this kind of emotion is fear or excitement, the mountain that has been pressing on his head and almost impossible to push down was finally overturned, but when it came true, he realized that he didn't seem to be so excited, but instead gave birth to a sense of confusion that he couldn't see the goal:

Odin fell, but he didn't know what to do.

The Golden Sword Master was very calm, propped up his eyelids and glanced at the visitor, and did not give Byron any special treatment, as if Byron was just an ordinary guard, and fell on the courtier who led the way.

"Master Fran, His Majesty has ordered His Highness Byron to take over and guard this place with you." The courtier said, showing the token.

After Master Fran inspected it, he nodded imperceptibly, and with a wave of his hand, a string of metal keys of various sizes were held flat by a force and sent to Byron's hand.

Byron hurriedly took it, and before he could speak to Master Fran, Master Fran closed his eyes again, obviously not planning to pay attention to the others.

The courtier didn't care, and whispered respectfully to Byron:

"Your Highness, there is a shortage of manpower in the palace, for the sake of safety, this place will be handed over to you, food and water and other things will be delivered on time, your residence has also been cleaned up, the subordinates will come over every two magic hours, you can tell the ministers if you have any needs."

A shake flashed in Byron's eyes.

The current situation in the lower palace, for the sake of safety, is understandable, it is nothing more than the fear that Odin will commit suicide or be killed by someone taking advantage of the gap, so he is asked to guard it, and Master Fran is also put here to guard.

But the lack of manpower means a lot.

Byron remembered that after he entered the palace, there was no one at the palace gate, and most of the courtiers he saw all the way to his father's bedroom were also unfamiliar and not usually used much, and he did not see a palace guard along the way, and his heart set off a storm.

This night, he lived in the City Lord's Mansion very peacefully, but he didn't expect the drastic changes in the palace to be so earth-shaking!

He has always regarded Odin as an insurmountable mountain, but he didn't expect Odin's secret methods to be more terrifying than he imagined, and even the most trusted person around his father was plotted against and betrayed his father.

From this point of view, Master Fran is not overkill when he sits here, in addition to guarding Odin, he also has the meaning of watching and guarding Byron, after all, he is also the son of his father.

Byron smiled bitterly in his heart.

After this drastic change, he could understand his father's state of mind that was both worried and jealous of his son, and finally understood the reason why his father sent him here because he didn't even see him in the dormitory just now.

"I wonder what happened to Charles and Douglas...... And the queen mother, I hope she is not frightened. ”

Byron thought silently, not asking Master Fran what he meant, knowing that even if he asked, he would not get any answer.
