"Victoria!"

[Wake up, wake up......] Xiaowei called softly, [His Royal Highness Lin Na is calling you. 】

"What's wrong?" The girl opened her eyes dissatisfied.

At night, when the girl's consciousness falls asleep, she hands over the control of her body to Xiaowei. After Xiaowei completes the cultivation of the spell alone, she will meditate until the early hours of the morning, and then return her body to the girl and fall asleep by herself. Can be ...... today

[It's not morning yet.] The girl complained.

[Her Royal Highness Lin Na must be in a hurry. Xiaowei said kindly.

"Victoria...... "Lina said anxiously, "Huh." Didn't you sleep? Xiaowei was sitting and meditating, and for convenience, the girl didn't even wear pajamas.

"Leave it alone," said the girl stiffly, "what the hell is going on, Linna?" ”

"Marquis Marquis Marguerite may be missing," said Linna, "and you only saw her in the afternoon, did you?" ”

[How could it be......] Xiaowei was shocked.

"Wait......" The girl was also taken aback, "you said Margaret is missing?" ”

"Yes," Linna nodded solemnly, "her carriage should have arrived at Engor Manor a few hours ago, but it was nowhere to be seen until now. The people of the Engor family have already started searching everywhere......"

"Is it only the Ngor family?"

"The Imperial Capital's battle mage forces are searching in the sky. No clues were found. ”

"When I said goodbye to her, I saw her get into the carriage," said the girl, "if she had an accident on the road...... I was probably the last person to see her. ”

"Let's go," said Linna, "to the side hall over there." Dimi: They're over there, too. ”

--------------------

When the girl and Lina stepped into the side hall, Dimiteao, Victor, and Bina were already there.

"Just a few of us?" The girl was surprised.

"The civil servants were woken up, and they were deliberating in another place," explained Bina, "Father ......

"Your Majesty will be there soon," said Victor, "and until then, at least a few of us should be unanimous." ”

If something happened to Margaret, counting the eldest son of the old marquis, the Engor family would have lost three patriarchs in a row in a few days. Not only is the Engor family panicking, but even the powerful royal family will be affected.

Vassals owe allegiance to the monarch, and the monarch provides protection to the vassals. can't even protect his own courtiers, so what kind of emperor is it?

Dimi sighed. In the past ten years, the imperial capital has purged many nobles internally, and has also participated in the world-famous battle of the Black Floating City externally......

"The chaos continues." Dimi also felt pressure in his heart. I must learn to share more for my father.

"The other party is acting against the Ngol family," Dimiran said, and the others turned to look at him, "We must be clear, the enemy has a grudge against the Ngol family?" Or is the Engor family just a springboard or a front for them to attack the Engor family to the detriment of the royal family and even the entire empire? ”

"To kill the old marquis," Victor sneered, "they burned down the entire Imperial Capital Library. Whatever they want...... We must all crush them completely. As long as we find their traces......"

"Victor," the girl whispered, "stay calm. ”

Victor's teacher, Broken Fang, was killed, but Victor never came out of the shadows.

"Victoria is right," Dimi also glanced at Viktor worriedly, "Victor." You have always been the calmest of us. We should not act rashly until we have figured out the strength and true purpose of the enemy. ”

"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light," Bina said in a low voice, "and they can't mess with themselves because they provoke again and again."

"I will." Victor took a deep breath.

"There are many professionals working on the search for clues," the young prince paused slightly, "the library was burned, the old marquis father and son were killed, and the Marquis de Margaret disappeared this time...... The enemy will never stop there. As long as they want more, sooner or later they will show their feet. The more they move secretly, the more they fear the power of our empire. ”

Everyone nodded.

"So we actually have a big advantage?" Lin Na said jokingly. She wanted to talk to Goth, but seeing that her sister didn't bring her fiancé Cliff, she dispelled the idea. But she didn't know...... Bena had approached Cliff before she came, but Cliff was not in the palace at all.

"We should be cautious," Dimi said, "and we must deter the enemy without making people feel that we have fallen into ...... of anxiety"

"Well said, Dimi." A loud voice came from outside the temple.

"Your Majesty!" ("Father!") Everyone said in unison and bowed to the golden-robed emperor. The little dwarf Chancellor Friedrich Engor followed closely behind him. This is the first time the girl has met the prime minister. She had already heard that the Prime Minister of the Empire was a dwarf, and that his appearance was uglier than the maiden had imagined.

"Well said," said Emperor Dietford III, "worthy of my son." ”

It is known that Dimi's biological father was the younger brother of the emperor, and the emperor rarely said "my son" unless he was really very satisfied.

"Father." Dimi also had a smile on his face.

"What do you think of Dimi?" The Emperor asked.

"It's great." Lin Na was the first to speak.

"I agree with that." Victor said.

"No problem." Bina looked like she wanted to say something.

"Victoria," the dwarf vizier suddenly turned to the maiden, "and tell me what you think. You haven't talked much. ”

The girl clenched her fists. How ruthless, the girl thought to herself. You guys even know that I haven't spoken much, dare to love the two of you, one is a legendary mage, and the other is a legendary secret ritual warrior, and you are standing outside eavesdropping on the conversation of juniors?

"Yes," the girl's heart was like lightning, "His Royal Highness Dimiteo is right about the general strategic direction. However, there are still imperfections. ”

"Tell me about it."

Dimi did not talk about specific measures. It's not enough to just show an attitude to deal with this situation. ”

"What else?" Dietford III's expression was indifferent.

"His Highness Dimiteo thinks on the premise that the two incidents were committed by the same group," the girl said respectfully, "the suspect in the disappearance of the Marquis de Marquis Marguerite may not be the murderer of the old Marquis. For example, is it possible that there are people within the Engor family who covet power and secretly attack it, and instead shift the blame on another wave of people? This possibility has to be guarded against. ”

[Attention! Your Excellency the Prime Minister is also a member of the Engor family! Xiaowei reminded.

[It doesn't matter. He didn't seem to care much, either. The girl looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. She stole a glance at the Prime Minister's expression, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

"You're right." Dietford III was expressionless, but his tone had softened.

"Before the case is investigated, speculation may be the trap of the real murderer," the girl said, "even if the two incidents are really committed by the same force, they hate the empire or the Engor family very much, have the strength to directly cause trouble in the imperial capital, and can kill the powerful secret warrior 'Broken Scale'...... Enemies who meet such conditions are only afraid of a limited number. We might as well also screen which force is the most suspicious. ”

"Who do you think is the most suspicious?" The emperor looked like a young woman.

"It depends on which force has benefited the most from the two incidents," the girl said, her mind racing, "I suspected that the Okadian Federation was behind it, but when I think about it, the Federation has not received much benefit from it. If there are clues left on the scene and the forces behind the scenes are directed to Elrios, we should consider whether it is the federal blame. After all, the relationship between the Okad Federation and the French State of Errios is bad at the moment, but our empire is leaning towards Errios. ”

"On another note, the Federation has sent two envoys here these days," the Prime Minister said sharply, "one is a general, and the other is a close friend of the Speaker." ”

The girl was shocked: "If the Federation planned the incident, it should not have openly sent these two people to die. And now, even if there is a clue to Okad next, we have to be careful. Maybe the enemy is a fake hand for us to frame those two and make the empire and the Okad Federation completely rupture? ”

Emperor Dietford III had a satisfied look on his face: "You seem to have always assumed that the enemy would set up false clues and disrupt the line of sight?" "The Emperor is well aware of the Maiden's relationship with the Okad Federation...... The maiden did not suspect Okard out of personal vendettas, but "judged impartially", much to the emperor's delight.

The girl smiled helplessly: "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, except for people within the Engor family, no one has profited from these two incidents. This incident is either a disruptive plan by a major force, or a struggle for power within the Engor family. Finally, there is the possibility of simply revenge against the Engor family or the empire. The enemy's hatred for the Empire is so great that it is possible to carry out such an attack in order to make the Empire fearful. This last one is the least likely, but the most tricky. ”

"There are so many people in this world who hate us," said Dietford III indifferently, "and this last one is not surprising. Fred? ”

"Yes." Zai said. The girl was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the emperor was calling the prime minister.

"I will take care of the security of the imperial capital," said Dietford III in a low voice, "as for Elrios and Okad...... It's up to you to put it to the test. Especially the two messengers of Okade, you should also pay attention. ”

"Yes." The Prime Minister received the order.

"As for your own family, leave it to you," instructed Dietford III, "you have not paid much attention to your family all these years, and they have made a miasma under your banner...... You should also clean up on them. ”

"I understand." Zai Ying agreed, but he sighed secretly in his heart. He had high hopes for Margaret, but ......

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency," the girl stepped forward, "I still have one thing to ask." The two messengers of Okad ......"

"Don't worry," the Prime Minister snorted, "they haven't mentioned you yet." And, even if they knew you existed, there was no evidence that you were Victoria Douglas of Ocard. Even if there is evidence, they have no right to take the people of my empire! You are more important to the empire than ten thousand gold. ”

The prime minister's words were loud, and the girl couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"Let's go, Fred." The golden-robed emperor didn't say anything more, and turned around and went out. Everyone watched the two go away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Every time I meet my father, I always feel very nervous." Lin Na sighed.

Dimi was very ashamed: "It turns out that when I cheered myself up, Victoria had already thought things through. I'm still very immature. ”

The young prince didn't know that what the girl said just now was actually what the emperor and the prime minister were forced to say and think on the spot. As a 21st-century online keyboard warrior, it's really good to come up with a specious political analysis on the spot.
