After much deliberation, Albert finally brought two fierce generals to the banquet, one was Adrian, whom Tarun had a crush on at a glance, and the other was the dwarf Kagun, who volunteered and could not be stopped no matter what. Although his injuries have not fully recovered, when he heard that His Royal Highness was going to the imperial capital, he immediately came to his senses, and he didn't know if it was for the sake of drink, or really to protect Xiao A's safety.

Adrian parted ways with the Countess d'Estini and the deceased Bishop of Mirière in the church of Birty, and he was almost free from the shadow of ten years of hard labor, thanks to which he owes all of them. He vowed to do something and accomplish things to comfort the bishop's soul in heaven.

Although his temper is not very good, he can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to Kaigen. The two of them are matched together, which is just right and beneficial to each other. Kagan is inseparable from wine and meat and an axe, and Adrian, although sometimes carried away by hatred, can be called calm in general. Moreover, because he had already caused Bishop Mirière to suffer by his own impulses, so that he would not make the same mistake a second time.

Albert took the two men with him, and a few other personal guards, and took advantage of the fine weather the next day to leave the city of Birty early and hurried all the way east.

His Highness has only one greatest goal in his heart now, and that is to see his father's loving face as soon as possible. The old Duke Borot was a very mediocre man, and his style of conduct was very steady, and although he did not do anything earth-shattering, he would hardly make any special mistakes or mistakes. He was loyal to the empire all his life, whether it was the current Emperor Defot or the previous assassinated emperor, the old Duke Borot treated everyone equally, and conscientiously did his part. His city of Solo, with its convenient transportation and developed trade, always paid the most taxes to the empire. Although rumors that the emperor was going to move him were rampant, the old Duke Borot was like a saint who knew that there was a tiger in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountain, and he slammed into the muzzle of the gun. It is difficult for anyone to understand his mind thoroughly, even his dearest wife and children.

Albert kept recalling his childhood, his father's voice and smile, and playing with his two half-sisters. The two men were sent to foster care by Duke Borot when Albert was still a minor, and now they are already married.

Kaigen and Adrian are not very familiar with each other, they first think about their own things with His Highness, but after a long time, they can't help but start talking and understanding, the first person always has to put a little shelf, as the words go deeper, the two gradually break the barrier. Kaigen was born bold, and Adrian was also trained in life, so it didn't take long for the two to have a little sympathy for each other. Sympathetic to Adrian's plight, he admired his natural ability to save people from under the carriage, and praised him for his bravery against the Black Elves. Adrian also expressed his affection for Kagun's bravery on the mangling of the pier. The singing and harmony of the two is combined with Albert's musings, forming a slightly incongruous picture.

The further east you go, the flatter the terrain and the larger the population, and from time to time you will come across some small market towns. In order to be in a hurry, Albert and others often had a hasty meal, and set off at four or five o'clock in the morning, and this state was maintained for several days, and when they came to the Panlong River, they could finally take a breath.

As soon as Adrian saw the river, he immediately remembered life as a prisoner. The Emperor secretly ordered the construction of ship accessories in the vicinity, which would be of no use other than to attack the Hope Kingdom. The emperor was scheming, and he had already planned his future actions when he first took office. If it hadn't been for the sudden interruption of his deployment, it is likely that the current war would have burned into the territory of Hope in the northwest.

Adrian is now a person close to Albert, so he explained the situation to His Highness one by one, and Xiao Ah did not show any special emotions because he put all his thoughts on his father, but nodded slightly flatly: " The emperor is scheming, it is really worthy of his reputation, we should be more cautious when we go to the banquet this time, everything must follow the plan arranged by the military advisor in advance, remember not to be the first bird, everything can be endured, as long as it does not involve our core interests, just let it go. ”

Kaegon and Adrian agreed, even though they were muttering in their hearts.

It was evident that the city of Cesar had recently been undergoing a major renovation project, and the Emperor had in his hands the wealth and manpower of the entire empire, which, together with his recent victory, had made it easier for him to carry out his will without hindrance and as he pleased.

When the general defending the city heard that it was Borot's son, he immediately welcomed them into the city respectfully, and said as if he was very proud: "Your Highness Albert, you have come at the right time, almost all the electors have arrived except for the rebellious Duke of Kentan, and many Earl States and some scattered nobles have also rushed over one after another. Recently, we have gathered so many dignitaries in our city, it is really the first time in hundreds of years that the Tamborance Empire has been gathered!"

Albert smiled and said a few polite words, and then rode into the city with his men.

It was a joyous scene, and the city of Xisar was lit up everywhere, and even the original seat of the Holy See was also stained with this joy, and many banners with auspicious words were hung from the top of the tower, which was nothing more than the emperor's longevity and longevity. The church is still guarded by polydoc friars, and although Deliot did not invite the Holy See back to settle down, he still acquiesced in the preaching of polydocio here as a buffer.

Adrian and Kagun's eyes were simply not enough, and they looked east and west, eager to take in all the beautiful scenery and see it all at once. Kai Gen had basically forgotten about the task of defending His Highness in his heart, and he was now beginning to look forward to the jar of old wine at the banquet, and his mouth couldn't help but smash it. Adrian was also full of admiration for this rich scene in the world, but he also recalled the terrible environment in the penal labor field by the Beaulong River outside the city, and he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists and crush the steel teeth.

In order to save money, when the emperor renovated the imperial capital, he made extensive use of those hard labor that did not require any pay, and a large part of these people were like Adrian in the past, because they were forced by life to steal just one loaf of bread and were arrested at will by the imperial judicial authorities, and then tried at will, and contributed their good youth to the hard labor field. Some of them who were not bad-hearted have gradually become heinous, they have formed cliques in the hard labor field, and after serving their sentences, they cannot return to the normal track of life, so they have to be imprisoned again, they are real victims, but no one will throw a tear of sympathy to them.

Because of the extraordinary nature of the banquet, the Emperor arranged for the dukes and counts to live in a number of elaborately decorated residences. The old Duke Borot was one of the Electors, and a key figure in the expedition north to stop the heretics of Desset, so the honor was even more prominent, and his residence was located in the first place, which was used to show his merits and the emperor's special respect for him.

If the city of Solo in the Duchy of Borot is a model of commercial prosperity, then the current city of Cesar is the seat of powerful and wealthy emperors.

One is a gathering place for private capital, and the other is a stage for royal nobles to show themselves.

Not far from the palace, it was surrounded by magnificent civic facilities such as the Hippodrome, the Beacon Tower, the Great Library, and some places imitating the extravagant style of the Old Vien Empire, bringing the intricate but delicate decorative arts to the extreme.

The old Duke Borot was actually looking forward to reuniting with his son whom he had not seen for a long time. He was in a good mood, both because of the successful end of the war in the north, and also because His Majesty the Emperor had recently favored him. The duke is well versed in the world, and it is not that he is unguarded against the emperor, but people always have inertia, or to put it nicely, a strange ability to adapt. The situation he encountered before was tense and his life could be in danger at any time, but now he has suddenly transformed into a hero in the gentle and wealthy country. The emperor used these things to paralyze his courtiers, and those courtiers were happy to be paralyzed, as long as everyone did not pierce the thin layer of window paper, it would be a happy one.

This gathering is one of the few grand events in the empire for hundreds of years, and no matter how wary you are, it is impossible to pull your face down and think about anything else. Everyone seemed to have decided that the emperor would not be able to start at such a banquet, and it would not be possible to risk the condemnation of the world and become a loner. Of course, these are common sense, and in addition to the reason why Duke Borot has no worries, the bigger factor is that he can see his son who he thought he would never see again. He was so overjoyed that he barely considered the risks.

The reunion of father and son was so enviable that Adrian could not hold back his tears, and he thought of Bishop Mirière of the church of Birty, the kind old man who seemed to be his father.

To find out what grievances will come next, let's continue to break them down next time.
