The bustling street scene, the moment the car entered the forest, disappeared in front of Chenming's eyes, replaced by the prostrate mountains like a giant dragon and the vigorous and upright giant tree forest.

Because of their own suspicions in their hearts, along the way, the three of them did not have much conversation, only a trace of depression in the silence.

As yesterday, the sedan stopped at the gate of the manor, and after the three of them got out of the car, they went directly through the iron gate and entered the palace manor.

Because it was summoned by the emperor, they did not walk slowly as they did yesterday, but each stepped on a scooter.

"Today's palace is much more lively than yesterday......"

Silently feeling the aura around him, Chen Ming found that there was more life in the palace, and most of the people were concentrated near the emperor's dormitory in the deepest part of the palace.

Riding through the palaces, the figures around the three of them began to slowly emerge, some of them were nobles in luxurious dresses, and more were soldiers in heavy armor, patrolling the surroundings.

"The atmosphere is not right......

Seeing this scene, Tirestin and Miller's faces sank, under normal circumstances, the palace would not have so many soldiers, only when welcoming the magic visitors of other countries, would it be so grand.

Today, if you want to say that there are guests from other countries, there is only Chen Ming, and he is not from the human world, such a lineup is obviously prepared for him alone.

"Your Pope really thinks highly of me. ”

The corners of his mouth outlined a teasing smile, of course Chen Ming knew that most of the soldiers here were knights from the church, but the armor on their bodies had been replaced.

Just changing the armor couldn't hide Chenming's exploration of magic power, so he knew that today's scene was obviously arranged for him.

On the left side of the emperor's dormitory is the government hall that deals with court affairs, and on the right side is the pope's palace where the pope is located, which shows how much the emperor values the powerful pope.

Came to the front of the government affairs hall, the three of them stopped, handed the scooter to the attendant behind them, Chen Ming looked around, there were already many nobles waiting there at the door of the government affairs hall at this time, and their eyes glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Most of these nobles who came today are above the marquis, and it seems that the father has something important to announce. ”

Forced to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, Tirestin's eyes scanned the surroundings vaguely, he wanted to see his mother, but he looked around, but he didn't see the slightest trace of her.

"Don't worry. ”

Miller sensed Tirrestine's panic and put his arm on his shoulder and comforted, "The Queen Mother is the strongest Valkyrie in the realm, she won't be fine!"

"Hmm!"

Tirestin nodded vigorously, as if telling himself to brave the storm that followed.

It was like the eve of a storm, and after the three of them arrived, the voices around them were much quieter, and only the slightly rude gaze still looked at them like the tip of a needle.

"These nobles seem to be believers in heaven. ”

Chen Ming frowned, he glanced at the crown prince who was relaxed on the surface, but was actually dignified, "You also noticed it, right? ”

Of course, Miller noticed that although he had been away from the center of power for five years, there was not a day that he did not pay attention to the changes in the royal family, otherwise he would not have rushed back to the palace today when the demon was about to fall.

Looking around at all the nobles, none of them were his close ministers!

Even though he guessed the intention of his father's arrangement, he still behaved so easily, even if the next verbal and written criticism might make the demon clan completely in trouble, but so what? With him, there is still a glimmer of hope in the future of the demons.

"Knock! knock!"

The ringing of the bells of the distant church broke the disturbing silence and opened the door of the closed government hall.

The nobles swarmed in, and Chen Ming and Miller followed behind without hurry and walked in.

The empty hall was filled with people at this time, and after everyone entered the hall, the guards who had been standing in the distance stood neatly on both sides of the doorway, as if to prevent what was about to happen.

The main colors of the hall are gold and white, and four white jade-like marble pillars support a high dome, and the stone pillars are carved with reliefs of angels.

In front of them, there are three empty seats, on either side are temporary seats, and in the middle, there are thrones made of pure gold, showing the authority of the emperor.

When everyone was quiet, five or six delicately dressed servants came out on either side of the throne, kneeling on the ground, and then a woman in a green dress came out of the passage on the left, and an old man in a white robe on the right side, with a staff on the ground, bending slightly.

After a while, behind the old man, a young man with a scarlet crown appeared, but the strange thing was that the man was obviously a young man, but his hair was gray.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor of Hestyford, Elvica?"

Chen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strangeness arose in his heart, if it was a middle-aged man or an old man who came out, he would not be surprised, but the man in front of him who was obviously an ordinary human but did not have a corresponding age and appearance made him a little surprised.

"Ministers and other mortals, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

The moment the emperor walked out, all the nobles, including the crown prince, knelt on the ground, of course, except for Chen Ming, he was not a citizen of the country, so he had no sense of awe.

Although he saluted, his gaze was still flat and unwavering.

Elvika's eyes wandered, and he stopped on Chenming's body, and without saying anything, he moved away, waved his hand, and sat down on the throne, "Get up, Attila, Your Majesty, you can also sit down." ”

"Yes. ”

Attila and Hested straightened up and sat down on either side of the throne, and only after they had taken their seats did the nobles stand up, their heads slightly bowed, not daring to look at them directly.

Waiting for the ministers to get up, Elvika slowly spoke, "Originally, today is the ministers' discussion, but I don't know what's wrong, many ministers are sick today, even my sons are like this, I don't know if it's true or not, but since they can't come, forget it, when the political affairs are over, you can tell each other." ”

"Yes!"

The ministers bowed their heads and saluted.

Elvica nodded, then withdrew her gaze to look at Chenming who didn't make the slightest movement, and smiled, "This must be the one that Tirestin and Miller told me about, right?"

Chen Ming saluted and said, "Yes." ”

"Yes, if nothing else, your momentum is neither humble nor arrogant, it is worth them to put down their bodies and become friends. ”

The emperor smiled slightly, and then said, "Actually, the main purpose of starting the court council today is to meet this gentleman who is full of praise even for the proud Miller, and since the goal has been achieved, let's disperse." ”

Having said that, the ministers did not dare to move, above the court meeting, the emperor did not leave the throne, and the ministers did not get up, this is the rule.

However, today, there is a person who does not need and disdains to follow the rules, and when the emperor speaks, Chen Ming directly turns around and walks past everyone to the outside of the hall.

The ministers frowned, and the two princes wanted to remind them, but they caught a glimpse of the emperor's interested gaze, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Bang Bang!"

When he walked to the door of the hall, the soldiers on both sides drew their swords one after another, blocking the front of Chen Ming, and the tip of the knife pointed to Chen Ming.

However, Chen Ming still ignored it, as if he didn't see the menacing soldier, and still approached unhurriedly.

The soldier did not retreat, Chen Ming did not stop, and just as the two were about to make contact, a voice sounded.

"Wait!"

It was Attilla's voice, her gaze was cold and abnormal, and the long skirt on her body was windless, "The emperor will not leave the table, and the ministers will not retreat!" Chen Ming, although you are not a citizen of your country, you should come back first!"

Chen Ming stopped, turned around and saluted, "Your Majesty let me go, how can I not go?" Just like Your Majesty asked me to die, I must also die, the emperor, higher than the people, higher than God, above everything, so the Demon Queen, I can't listen to your orders!"

With that, he turned around again and walked towards the blade.

"Mr. Chenming, come back. ”

At this time, Elvika's voice sounded, and he beckoned, "You are not a citizen of your country, everything is optional, but I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to say, why don't I ask you to stay and listen?"

"Whatever Your Majesty says, I will agree. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly, and returned to his original position unhurriedly.

When he was ready, Elvika stood up, spread her hands in front of the throne and spun around, and said with a smile, "Before getting down to business, I want the ministers to see how my new clothes are doing?"

"New clothes?"

Chen Ming frowned slightly, and looked at the robe on Elvika's body slightly, although it was gorgeous, judging from the degree of wear and tear of the precious metals decorated on it, it was by no means novel.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, what tricks are you playing?"

He lowered his head and pondered, and at this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked out and said loudly, "The minister thinks that Your Majesty's new clothes, luxuriously decorated, fashionable, and decently measured, low-key and luxurious, lining Your Majesty's majesty, couldn't be better!"

Such words of praise were uttered, so that Chenming, Tirestin, and Miller's brows were furrowed, and the fool could hear that this minister was praising falsely!

"Uh-huh. ”

Elvica nodded with satisfaction and said, "Duke Theo has a very unique vision, and I like my clothes very much......!

He glanced at Miller without a trace, and quickly retracted it, "Miller, you don't seem to think so. ”

Miller stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Father, the child thinks that although Duke Theo's vision is good, it is inevitable that there will be times when he will lose his eyes......"

Before Miller's words were finished, Chen Ming, who was on the side, noticed that something was wrong, and stepped forward and deliberately said loudly, "Your Majesty's new clothes ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, Elvika's cold voice interrupted him, "Your Excellency Chenming, I didn't let you speak!"

As the emperor spoke, Chen Ming felt that a magical force had locked him, making it difficult for him to speak, he knew that this was the Pope's hands and feet!

"The Emperor's New Clothes...... This emperor is not simple......"

Chen Ming, who couldn't speak, couldn't even move, his eyes were heavy, he guessed, he reminded, but ......

Under Chen Ming's reminder, Atilla and Miller also guessed, a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and it was too late to redeem it.

After drinking Chenming, Elvica looked at Miller with a smile and said, "You go on, but remember, I ...... Listen to the truth!"

The last four words that were obviously aggravated made Miller's body tremble violently, and he looked at the same pale Attila as if asking for help.

Atira hesitated slightly, and said, "Your Majesty......"

"I didn't let you speak!"

Elvika snorted coldly, sat back on the throne, and said, "Concubine Ai asked to listen to the government, and I agreed, but listen to it, please don't make a sound!"

The indifferent tone of voice was like a dagger, suffocating Attila as her words became like a choke in her throat, and finally, she leaned limply back in her chair, her eyes dim and devoid of color.

However, the emperor didn't care about the change in her mood at all, and looked at Miller, who was still bent over, "You continue." ”

One wrong step, one wrong step, a momentary omission, but his situation became more worrying, and the emperor's forced gaze made Miller like carrying a huge mountain, and he didn't dare to relax.

Breathing soothingly, Miller's eyes lowered, and said, "Father, today, the clothes he wears are old clothes, although they are luxurious, very flattering to his father, but the child does not want to deceive, Duke Theo, it should be wrong!"

"Oh?"

Elvica frowned slightly, raised her hand and looked down at the clothes on her body, and then suddenly patted her head as if she realized, and said with a smile, "It seems that I am confused, this dress was obviously given to me by the queen last year, and it was actually worn by me as a new dress, which really makes everyone laugh." ”

The ministers bowed their heads and said cautiously, "Your Majesty said that it was a new clothes, that is a new clothes, of course the ministers will not laugh!"

"Hmph, a bunch of sycophants!"

Elvika snorted angrily and said, "It's still my crown prince, and I like it very much." ”

Miller saluted, "The child just doesn't want to deceive his father." ”

"As the crown prince of the royal family, the next controller of imperial power, be cautious in your words and deeds, don't believe it, this is what you should do, it seems that you are attentive. ”

The emperor seemed to be very happy, and he smiled and said, "In order to reward your intentions, I have decided that from today onwards, you will no longer need to defend the frontier, nor will you have to manage those demons and soldiers, stay by my side, and when I abdicate, you can inherit the throne." ”

These words made Miller's face turn pale instantly, and he quickly knelt down and bowed his head, "Father, the child is still young, he knows that his ability is limited, and he still needs to experience outside, and it is even more inappropriate to temporarily change the generals of the frontier, in case ......"

"What I gave you, you can't fail to take it, this is also the prince's obligation. ”

Elvika's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a ruthless flicker in her narrow pupils, "You are my son, I should feel sorry for you, this matter is so decided, as for the person who replaces you, I have also found it for you, just Duke Theo, I think he can speak well, and he should soon be able to make the border soldiers surrender, which can be regarded as a punishment for him for lying and deceiving me!"

The undoubted words made Miller's pupils constrict, and he looked around, as if he saw that the ministers had turned into evil ghosts, pounced on him, and his own father, the emperor, was the king of these evil ghosts, dragging him into the abyss!

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Atira, who was sitting next to Elvika, suddenly got up, walked down the steps, came to Miller's side, and bowed.

"Didn't I say that my concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

Elvika was impatient, but when she saw Atira's grief-stricken face, a trace of waves flashed in her indifferent eyes, and finally she sighed helplessly, "Forget it, just listen to what you say." ”

Taking a deep breath, Atilla tried her best to calm her face, and said hoarsely, "Duke Theo is a foreign minister, and he has been trained since ancient times, and the power of the demon army cannot be released, otherwise there will be a disaster, the royal family will fall, and the concubines of other armies will not care, but as the guardian of the royal family, the contemporary patriarch of the demons, the concubines have the obligation and the right to take back the frontier troops of the demon clan!"

Elvica lowered her head and thought for a while, and then looked at Hasted next to her, who had been silent, and after the latter shook his head, he said, "In this case, then withdraw the demons to the royal capital, but please also ask the princess to remember the lesson of twenty years ago, I won't mention the reason why the demons are guarding the frontier, if this kind of thing happens again, then don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings, and the demons will be in the Hesty Fuyi tribe!"

As he spoke, he consciously or unintentionally focused on Chenming and Tirestine, "In addition, the crown prince is also twenty-five years old this year, and he has reached the age of marriage, in order to deepen the connection between the royal family and the demons, I have decided that from today onwards, the demons Lilith will be Miller's fiancée, and this decree cannot be changed!"

When the last sentence fell, Tirestin's eyes instantly turned red, and he stepped forward quickly and shouted, "Father!"

"There's no place for you to talk here!"

Elvika shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeve robe, and without looking at the pale Tyristin and the wooden-faced Miller, he left the hall directly with Hasted.

The emperor left the table, and the ministers also receded like a tide, and everyone's eyes were full of ridicule and disdain, like monsters devouring the mother and son.

"It's so ruthless......"

Regaining his freedom, Tatsunami looked at the place where the Emperor had left, and at this moment he began to understand a little that Elvica had never been controlled by the Pope, but used this reason to weaken the position of the Majin in Hestifo and thus consolidate the imperial power.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Tirestin who was slumped on the ground again, Atilla and Miller, and between the words, there was an irreparable rift between the three people who were originally deeply emotional.

"The Emperor's Mind Technique, unfathomable!"

All of this is just a play directed and acted by Emperor Elvika, Chen Ming faintly has a feeling, he seems to have found the twenty-five faces, between the church, the demon and Heather, that imperceptible tacit understanding, who caused it......

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's a little difficult to deal with......"
