In about an hour, the carriage carrying the coffin of the Emperor of the Alliance reached a hill outside the city.

It is said that it is a small mountain, but in fact, it is not accurate, the inside of the hill has been hollowed out completely, and a huge imperial tomb has been built.

There are four such imperial tombs in total, in addition to the reef fort, the other four capitals of the Soma Alliance - the northern capital, the central capital, the eastern capital, and the southern capital each have one nearby, and the initial plan was that if the emperor of the alliance died, he could be buried nearby.

However, because almost everyone thought that the emperor of the alliance would not die violently in the prime of life, the four imperial tombs were under construction except for the Char Emperor's Mausoleum, which was the first to start.

It is also for this reason that many people in the funeral procession are discussing, this must be the alliance emperor has a hunch: he knew that he would die soon, so he stayed in Char for more than half a year and did not leave, so as not to run after death.

The members of the royal family were as serious as before, standing at the front of the funeral procession, silent, with an extremely sad expression on their faces, until they watched as the coffin entered the imperial tomb and the wizard sealed the imperial tomb with a spell.

The eldest prince, who was about thirty years old, reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes after seeing all this, wiping away the tears that did not exist. Then he turned around, swept his gaze with a little scrutiny over the many brothers standing with him, and after sweeping, walked towards the court ministers who were slightly behind.

Walking up to one of the ministers, the eldest prince called out the other man's name and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Astor, did my father discuss the matter of the heir with you during his lifetime?"

The minister who was called by name was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and replied: "Your Highness, you know, although Your Majesty's health is not very good, most people think that you can maintain the alliance for at least a few decades, and I am the same." Therefore, this issue was not discussed with His Majesty. ”

"So, my father didn't say which of my younger brothers would replace me as the new first heir, did he?"

"Nope. ”

"Well, there's Lord Rausto. The eldest prince tapped the minister on the shoulder, and turned to walk in front of the other minister.

"Your Excellency Rose, may I ask if my father had discussed with you about the heir during his lifetime?" asked the eldest prince the same question.

The second minister shook his head decisively: "No, my Highness." ”

"In that case, you are in favor of the laws of the Soma Alliance, right? In the absence of a special will, and without the influence of the vicious assassination interference, then the inheritance should be carried out in order. ”

"This ......" The second minister hesitated, but under the burning gaze of the eldest prince, he finally nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

"That's good, there's Lord Lawros. The eldest prince pursed his lips and said that he could see that he wanted to smile, but considering that he would be reserved at the funeral, he only patted the minister on the shoulder and walked towards the third minister.

In this way, one after another, soon the eldest prince walked up to the black-faced old man Oscar.

"Your Excellency Oscar. The eldest prince had a little more respect on his face that he hadn't had before, looked at Oscar and asked, "You are the old man next to my father, he has always valued you, and most things will be discussed with you." I thought, if he had a plan to adjust the order of the heirs, he must have told you, right?

"Your Highness...... Your Majesty really hasn't told me about this. Oscar shook his head.

"In that case, I am still the first heir, and I have the right to direct inheritance according to the law, right?"

"If nothing else, legally, that's true. Oscar thought for a moment and said cautiously.

"Very well, thank you, Your Excellency. The eldest prince nodded and walked towards the back.

When the eldest prince was far away, Richard, who was standing next to Oscar, blinked his eyes - as a command adviser, he was present at the funeral as one of the representatives of the military. In fact, it can also be excused, but considering that it may be possible to see the scene of the alliance emperor coming back from the dead, regaining power, and punishing crimes at the funeral, the other party may directly fulfill the original reward promise after the play, so he rushed over.

It turned out that the funeral was uneventful, just in time for the Blue Lion Kingdom that he participated in, and he was slightly disappointed.

Tilting his head slightly, facing Oscar, he asked in a controlled voice: "Is that one so calm? The stand-in has already been buried, and it won't come out yet? If it's a little later, if it comes out, some people won't recognize it, right?"

After Richard finished speaking, he found that Oscar didn't answer for a long time, and when he looked carefully, he saw that Oscar looked preoccupied, and he didn't know what to think about.

This......

Richard's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

After more than ten seconds, Oscar finally came back to his senses, noticed Richard's gaze, paused for a moment, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Richard said, and then repeated the question he had just asked.

After listening to this, Oscar was silent for half a second, and anyone said seriously: "Don't think about it, it's all in the plan, everything is going well." ”

Mr. Oscar, even if you don't count your distraction just now, the half second of your silence alone is enough to explain a lot of things...... According to you, I'm afraid that something big will happen...... Richard said in his heart, but he didn't debunk it, just nodded, which can be regarded as agreement.

After that, he gently reminded: "The original promise was five days, but after today, there is only one day left." ”

In fact, he didn't care too much about what went wrong with the Alliance Emperor, he only cared about whether his reward would be successfully obtained.

Oscar listened, his expression stiffened slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, and replied, "Don't worry, your things will definitely be obtained normally." ”

"That's good. Richard nodded, no more.

After that, the funeral went according to the process, and after the procession, the accompanying procession gradually dispersed.

Richard returned to the reception desk and continued to refine the Medium and Long-Term Research Plan, finalizing the last few details.

Oscar, on the other hand, hurried back to his mansion in a carriage, then entered the study and began to pace back and forth.

He is not Richard, but the Minister of Intelligence - Richard only cares about his own research and does not know the changes in the outside world, but he, as the Minister of Intelligence, is very aware that the last few days in Char City have been very unpeaceful, and even extremely chaotic.

Several princes' private armies were secretly fighting and eradicating dissidents, some of which had greatly touched the red line set by the Emperor of the Union, Pyotr Romanov. According to his prediction, the emperor should have summoned him a long time ago and cooperated with the army to clean up the situation, but he did not wait until the funeral was over.

He wanted to go to the emperor's hideout, but the emperor told him that he was not allowed to be disturbed without summoning it, so as to reduce the possibility of exposure before the operation.

So what the hell is he going to do now?
