The Emerald Capital is calm on the surface, but it is turbulent in the dark.

And it was at this time that Dean returned to the Emerald Capital.

Without any delay, Dean made his way to the Emerald Palace.

"Lord Guardian of the Northlands!"

Looking at Dean who fell from the sky and walked out of the moonlight, the surrounding guards saluted one after another.

"I want to see Your Majesty!"

Dean said what he meant.

"Please wait a minute, we'll pass it on right away!"

After the captain of the guard saluted again, he ran towards the kingdom.

After a while, a figure appeared with the captain of the guard.

The fat body, the bare top of the head, the beard, and the two war hammers with the size of a watermelon hanging on their waists at will, swaying left and right with the movement of the fat body.

"Eli!"

Looking at the acquaintances who came by, Dean greeted with a smile.

As one of the silver guards the Emerald royal family, he will not give up on Emerald in the most difficult time, coupled with the identity of a commoner, which makes Dean even more admired.

"Lord Zelgaon!"

Eli touched the top of his smooth head, showed a simple smile to Dean, and then, after a long time, he remembered what he said: "Your Majesty ordered me to turn around His Excellency Zelgaon, the battle against Siti has reached the final stage, and he is too busy to find time to meet you!" So, if you have any request, just say it, Your Majesty will say that anything will be promised to you! ”

Promise anything?!

Eli didn't deliberately lower his voice, and his loud voice was almost heard by the guards around him.

As a result, the guards looked at Dean with more envy.

Meantime. I also silently cheered for myself in the bottom of my heart.

Since their Majesty is willing to make such a promise for Dean. So. They have achieved Dean's merits, will they also be given such treatment?

For a moment, the guards became excited.

Dean looked at the guards with excited expressions on their faces, and he was dumbfounded.

Ike. Nick is buying people's hearts!

Dean naturally came to a conclusion.

Because, the other party knows very well that it is impossible for him to make excessive demands.

Whether it is for the sake of the face of the Jade Grand Duke or because of his own character.

However, Dean will not be broken.

Imperial power. That's what a king should be.

As for the Imperial Mind?

Of course, there will be, but it will take time to build.

And, don't care about Dean's business.

So, the next moment, Dean said straightforwardly: "I want to go to the royal family's library to read!" ”

"Well, follow me!"

The honest Eli nodded, turned around and led Dean towards the royal library.

……

"How?"

In the small study in the side hall of the palace, Ike. Nick stood in front of the window, as if admiring the view. But no one would think so simply when they saw that gloomy gaze.

"As your majesty had expected. A lot of people are reporting to those guys! In just one day, there have been four people who have died at my hands! ”

The pale young nobleman stood in the shadows on one side and said truthfully.

"Humph!"

The young king snorted coldly.

With a deep sense of dissatisfaction!

Dissatisfied with the behavior of these ignorant people, and dissatisfied with their own status in the hearts of the other party, they are not as good as a few swordsmen and guard chiefs, of course...... And Dean.

At the thought of Dean, the young king snorted again.

Unlike the previous grievances, this time it was angry and cold...... Killing Intent.

"Where's Zelgaon?"

"I have already entered the library, and according to our spies, Lord Zelgang is investigating the matter of the 'Sea God' because his friend Long Lang has a curse in his body and needs the immortal spring water to contact the curse!"

The young king didn't mean to hide it, and asked the people behind him.

And the people behind him did not disappoint him.

After all, this is one of his thousands of selected teams, the second son of the Kuster family of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a young man with talent and hard work, but no chance.

It's exactly like him.

So, the young king gave the other side a chance.

And everything was just as he expected, as soon as the opportunity was given, the young man immediately shone and never let him down.

Of course, there are a few remaining candidates, and this is also the case.

This made the young king even more sure that he could reach the heights of his sister and Dean, and the reason why he did not reach them was only because he did not have enough opportunities.

Not enough, no chance, can be created.

In the past, he was constrained by the royal family's internal troubles.

Now that everything has been cleared, it is natural to give it a go.

"Well, let your people help us, the Guardian of the Northlands, collect more books—starting with the various families of the Emerald Capital, and you stay where you were!"

The young king nodded in satisfaction and commanded lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The young nobleman bowed, did not get up and leave, but maintained a bowed posture and walked backwards into the shadows.

And such a gesture made the young king very satisfied.

He picked up the glass on the table, took a sip, and let out a low, hoarse laugh.

"It's all started!"

……

The capital of jade, the residence of the Grand Duke of Jade.

The Grand Duke Swordsman, who was flipping through a book, was interrupted by his friend.

"Shall we go back to the South?"

The Grand Duke's chief of guard said this, with bursts of dissatisfaction and anger in his words.

"Your Highness is gone, how can we go back to the south?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at his friend and asked rhetorically.

"But the South is our hometown?"

The Grand Duke's guard looked at his friend in bewilderment.

The woman, who was no less rough than any man, clearly did not understand the meaning of her friend's words.

"There is a place where His Highness is. is where we are. And once His Highness is gone. Where we are is gone, and even, we ourselves are not allowed to exist, let alone home? ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman sighed faintly, put the book in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, slightly stroked the silver hair in his ears, looked at his friend who still didn't understand, and explained very bluntly: "Your Highness is gone." Then the three southern counties headed by His Highness will be gone, and all that His Highness will have left is this empty mansion, and this is where we can stay! ”

"Your Highness is gone, will they rebel?"

The chief of the Grand Duke's guard was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily.

"Whether it's Count Katyu, Count Merry, or my aunt, of course they won't do it, but that doesn't mean the others won't!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman shook his head with a wry smile.

"Who? Who is it? I tore him! ”

The Grand Duke's chief of guard yelled in annoyance.

"Your Majesty!"

The Grand Duke Sword Master said this answer, which made the Grand Duke Chief of the Guard stunned again, and then the rough lady shook her head in disbelief. "How so?" Your Highness and Your Majesty are brothers and sisters! Moreover, when His Highness did not have the slightest concern for the throne. Giving up this throne to him, how could he ......"

The chief guard was halfway through his speech, and he couldn't say any more.

Because, judging by what happened in this paragraph, His Majesty was indeed doing such a thing.

First of all, we will support a group of gifted children from major families.

Then, these young people were placed in various positions in the Emerald Kingdom, from the army to the locality, from the financial department to the intelligence department.

Moreover, these young men rose very fast because His Majesty the King stood behind them.

And, more importantly, these young people did not disappoint.

He is capable and loyal to the king.

Even some old ministers and nobles can't find fault with it.

In addition, these young people are from big families, even if they are side children, such bloodlines also exist, and as these young people rise to the status like rockets, those big families that value interests naturally stand behind these young people, and they also stand on Ike. Behind Nick.

Maybe it's better now.

These young people have only risen rapidly, and have not yet reached the position of being at the heart of power.

Once that point is reached, a bloody storm is inevitable.

And the ultimate winner can only be these young people.

Because, standing behind them was the king of the Emerald.

"Shuffle?"

Although the chief of the Grand Duke's guard was rude, he was not stupid, and he reacted after a little thought.

"Well, shuffle! Therefore, the Count of Katyu, the Count of Merry, and my aunt will not make any moves, but will remain as they are! After all, even Count Merry, a nobleman born as a commoner knight, has the flaw of Merry, even if it is for his daughter, Count Merry will not object to His Majesty! Not to mention, Count Katyu and my aunt, they are both family-oriented people! ”

"I'm afraid that as soon as I return to the south, I will have to be placed under house arrest by my aunt to death, and Irene, you? Your clan will do everything they can to stop you! You can't face your loved ones with a sword, can you? ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman nodded, with a hint of bitterness on his delicate face.

"Then stay here and get angry? Edith, you're a gold-level powerhouse, can't you do anything about it? ”

The Grand Duke's guard slammed the table in frustration, and suddenly, smashed the solid wood table.

And her eyes are looking at her friend, hoping that her friend can have a solution.

"Staying here is the best thing we can do right now! A gold-level powerhouse? It seems to be powerful, but it is not without it in the kingdom, have you forgotten the Marquis of York? He will definitely stand firmly behind His Majesty! ”

"What's so great about the Marquess of York? We can find Dean! With Dean's strength, he can also beat that old guy with one hand! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman's words were directly interrupted by the chief guard.

However, the chief of the guard remembered something and smiled wryly at his friend.

"It's okay! I said I wouldn't give up! ”

The Grand Duke swordsman waved his hand, and his soft face was steadfast.

"Dean that guy ......"

"Oh no! Oh no! ”

Before the chief of the guard could say something, the young lady of the Baron de Tyre hurried in.

"What happened? Speak slowly! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at his disciple with a soft gaze, and the young lady of Baron Tyre's family, who was shocked, calmed down and slowly said the news she had just gotten: "Dusico. The gang under Kuster said that they wanted to help Dean and get the major families in the Emerald Capital to donate all the books in the family collection! ”

"What?"

The Grand Duke's swordsman's face changed and he stood up suddenly.
