Chapter VII: Chaos

After Angus and Vega hurriedly left, Allen, who was standing behind the door, was silent and did not say a word.

"Huh? Uncle Ellen, what's wrong? ”

Behind him, a girl in a fluffy white gauze robe poked her head out suspiciously: "Aren't you going to find Grandpa Vega?" ”

"Something suddenly occurred to me."

Alan turned his head, looked Lily in the eye, and nodded slightly, "Now I'm going to go out." You're waiting at home for me or your dad to come back. If you don't know what to do, go and read the book of "The Commandments" in my study. ”

"Uh......h Well......"

Hearing this, Lily let out a lovely sorrowful sound, shook her body, and hung her arms weakly: "People obviously want to go to Grandpa Vega to play......"

"I'll take you there when I get back." Alan hesitated slightly, then answered solemnly.

"Huh? Say yes! ”

Lily's eyes lit up suddenly.

Seeing this, the corners of Allen's mouth subconsciously raised slightly, but before his smile was completely revealed, his expression narrowed, and he nodded: "Naturally." When it comes to it, it's a tradition of the Ketuguya family. ”

"Then, I'll wait for you to come back."

Lily lowered her head and thought about it, looked up at Allen, and replied seriously.

At that moment, Eren seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes, and the figure of his deceased wife seemed to coincide with Lily at that moment, showing a gentle smile at him.

"...... Li"

Alan's words came to an abrupt end. His eyes shook violently, his mouth wide open like a suffocating fish, and his throat rolled slowly in the depths of his throat, emitting an inaudible scream.

"Huh?" Lily tilted her head, puzzled.

“…… No, it's fine. ”

Alan paused, replied in a hoarse voice, and then slammed open the door as if fleeing for his life, and hurried out of the Viscount's Mansion, and went around to a no-man's corner, and then Zhen Zhi took out a black crystal plate from his pocket, and drew a complex symbol on it with some stiff movements.

After waiting for a while, the black transparent crystal plate suddenly lit up. The voice of the Marquis of Lyria came from inside: "Alan? Any news? ”

"It's all in your plan."

"So, who was that guy they went to?"

"It's Viscount Oakliford."

"Viscount Oakleford......

Marquis Lyria was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Sure enough, it's him." ”

"So, do you want to contact the garrison to arrest him directly?"

Alan asked softly, with no emotion in his eyes: "I'm worried that his words will affect my brother's judgment of you." ”

"It's all right, Alan," the Marquis vetoed his offer directly, "Angus, he's far smarter than he appears. As long as he talked a little to Viscount Oakliford, he would understand that there was something wrong with this man. ”

“…… Is it already so obvious? ”

Hearing this, it was Alan who showed a surprised look: "Then why didn't you arrest him earlier?" ”

"It's simple."

After a slight pause, the Marquis of Lyria replied lightly: "Because Viscount Oakliford is the man of Prince Robert...... And if nothing else, Prince Robert will become the next Emperor Titan. ”

"But since you said that, there must have been an accident?"

"And rightfully so!"

The Marquis couldn't help but laugh out loud: "An emperor who swears that he will never believe in any god and will never accept the favor of any god? No kidding, in this day and age, Robert will never be the Emperor of Titan! ”

Hearing this, Alan suddenly realized.

Never believing in any god was undoubtedly one of Robert's strengths.

- That's right, you read that right, it's an advantage. And it's quite a huge advantage.

Titan is a land of gods, with countless temples and almost every citizen having their own beliefs. And with faith comes prejudice, and pride and prejudice are born from it.

There is no doubt that faith does not have any side effects on mortals. But an emperor who always looks at problems with a biased view can never be supported by everyone. And a king without any faith can at least guarantee justice. He doesn't favor anyone, but rather makes it easier for people to accept his decisions without taking into account his personal position.

Even the old king believed in the god of domination and torture. When people judge him in any way, they take into account his beliefs and then make subtle adjustments to their own evaluations. And when the god of domination and torture was criticized, he had to stand up for his faith.

And Robert's lack of faith means that he will not receive support from the temple. But again, he won't be stopped by rival temples.

The gods who saw that the throne was hopeless could only make Robert emperor. After all, Robert's position here is on the side of justice, and it is better to make him emperor than to have a prince supported by other gods become the ruler of Titan.

The former is not a loss or a profit, while the latter is a loss of capital, and it is clear at a glance how to choose.

However, now, when all the false gods have lost their authority and the only faith has become Saint Laurent, Robert who once vowed never to entrust his faith to others is in a very awkward position.

- But even so, he is a prince. The authority of the royal family is unquestionable.

But just now that everyone is ready to dilute Robert's existence, he is still actively brushing his presence. This sense of dislocation is unsettling.

It was as if he had absolutely sufficient confidence that he could take the throne of emperor in the end.

…… But, how is that possible?

Not only did others not understand why, but even Alan himself did not know.

But there was only one thing he knew, and that was that after Robert got involved, it started to get complicated.

Is Viscount Oakliford the Ember Bringer? What exactly is the relationship between him and Robert? Why does the Marquis of Lyria look like he has a chance to win? What exactly do they want to do? What do they want?

All this, as the entanglement between the two sides deepened, the situation began to become more and more chaotic.

Thinking of this, Alan sighed secretly, and hung up the communication after saying a few more casual words.

He has done everything he can do, and the next thing he has to do is to wait quietly for the final result. After that, Alan felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Thinking of Lily, Alan couldn't help but put on a gentle smile, and his steps home were a little tighter.

It was precisely because he was in a little anxious that he didn't notice the black-robed man who passed by him, and the silver-white hair that was showing under his hood. (To be continued.) )
