Turin, Royal Palace.

His Majesty Bedford was still lying in bed, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was on the verge of death.

The ladies were wiping the Emperor's body, and Queen Hyrule sat to the side, still admiring her well-maintained nails, even though most thought they had grown to the point of being unsightly.

The palace ladies quickly cleaned up the emperor's body, one of them dressed the emperor, and the other took a towel and carefully wiped the dirt on his face for His Majesty.

Retracting her gaze, Hyrule happened to see this scene, she sneered, and waved her hand.

"Let's go down."

Hearing this, the two palace maids quickly straightened up and left the dormitory with small steps.

Hyrule shouted.

"Badr!"

As the crown prince of the Okasim Empire, Badr did not like to be called around like this, even if it was his own mother.

He strode in with a gloomy face.

Retracting his gaze, Hailar said in a strange manner.

"Why, after a tiring day of working outside, don't you even have time to see your father?"

Badr didn't want to bother him, he turned around and shouted out the door.

"Come in."

Hyrule raised an eyebrow, she sat up slightly straighter, and then asked.

"What kind of attitude does he have?"

Badr still had no intention of talking to Hyrule.

"The man has been brought, ask him yourself."

"Huh."

Hyrule sneered, but Badr's guest had already walked in, and she immediately restrained her sarcastic smile and replaced it with another face.

Someone walked in, his red hair almost covering half of his face.

When he came in, he knelt down on one knee at the person in the hospital bed and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty."

Let him kneel for a moment, and then Hyrule said.

"Get up."

Nodding, the man saluted.

"Queen."

Hyrule nodded slightly.

"Gaia, where are Raidia's people?"

Gaia replied.

"They have arrived in Turin, scattered on Fifth and Sixth streets, about two thousand people."

Hyrule scoffed.

"Isn't it strange that Rhodia has been in the north for three years, and he has two thousand dead soldiers."

She spread her nails, looked at the setting sun, and said after a moment.

"What do you want to say about that day?"

"Queen's ......"

Gaia hesitated, "I don't remember what happened that day. ”

"I know this,"

Hyrule waved his hand, "Tell me what Rhaedia wanted to do that day." ”

Gaia subconsciously glanced at Badr, who nodded slightly, and then he said.

"From what I've observed, Lydia is definitely murderous, he really wants to slaughter the dragon. But...... I don't remember what happened next, but Master Rackmond said I had fallen under magic. ”

Hailar said with a frown.

"There are only two dragon's eyes in the continent of Aikasina, and they are both in Turin?"

Gaia nodded.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Griffon Legion can definitely subdue an adult dragon, let alone a pseudo-dragon that borrows the dragon's eye."

"Is that so......" Hyrule nodded, then said knowingly.

"I heard that Eden is dead?"

Gaia said quickly.

"Yesterday evening, his family found out that he had not returned home, and the City Patrol was nowhere to be found. Later, I heard from the City Patrol coachman that he got into the City Patrol carriage, and the carriage ended up on Fourth Street. ”

"Definitely something to do with prostitutes."

Hyrule sneered, and then changed his mind.

"Didn't Eden say that there was always a pair of eyes spying on him in the dark, where were those eyes?"

Gaia paused.

"On Back 3rd Street."

Without waiting for Hailar to reprimand, he hurriedly added. "Eden has been investigating the incident since August this year, but his people have never infiltrated the back third street, which he said is like an abyss.

I have also heard the terrible rumor that all the prostitutes, all the poppies, all the thugs in Turin are under the jurisdiction of the same man, who is revered by the people of the back three streets as the underground emperor. ”

Hyrule turned and looked at Badr.

"My son, can you tolerate the existence of another emperor in Turin?"

She bit the word emperor very hard.

Sure enough, Badr's temples bulged at the hearing of these two words, but his tone remained calm.

"It's just a bunch of untouchables who obey people's orders, and they can't afford to make any waves."

"It's a bunch of untouchables,"

Hyrule said slowly, "But what he used to deceive those untouchables is worth thinking about." ”

Badr said disdainfully.

"It's too simple to bewitch the mercenary villain, and since Eden's death is just right, I will take the opportunity to let the underground emperor show up and see if those bewitched untouchables will sacrifice their blood for their emperor."

Hyrule's eyes narrowed, as the de facto ruler of Turin for so many years, she was not unaware of the situation on the back three streets.

As Gaia said, the back third street was like an abyss, and the more you looked inside, the more terrifying it became, and the underground emperor's methods were far more sophisticated than they appeared, and she didn't think that Badr could successfully eliminate him.

But it's also a good thing to take the opportunity to knock on Badr, lest he understand the fur of the trick and think he has a plan.

After staring at Badr for half a second, Hyrule whispered.

"Okay, Your Majesty the future Emperor, your father is going to die, if you don't want to be stuck in the back again, I suggest you get rid of that underground emperor first."

"I've always planned to do so, but I see that the celebration is approaching and I don't want to put Turin in a panic."

Throwing down the words, Badr walked out quickly.

Gaia hesitated for a moment, but said goodbye to Hyrule, and then followed Badr.

Walking out of the dormitory, Badr looked at Gaia.

"Commander Gaia, do you think our dragon slayer is really as powerful as rumored?"

Gaia replied firmly.

"He is indeed very strong, and with his hands alone, there will be no one in the entire continent who is his opponent."

Hearing this answer, Badr did not feel discouraged, but said with a smile.

"Looks like you have faith in yourself?"

Gaia nodded and said heavily.

"Absolutely, Your Highness."

"Good."

Badr folded his hands behind his back and looked satisfied.

"Father-sama won't last long, we need to focus on dealing with Redia. As for the Underground Emperor, I think Lord Racmont will be able to clean him up. ”

Gaia asked, confused.

"Why is the Prime Minister interested in this?"

Badr waved his hand and said lightly.

"Prostitutes and poppies have been in the hands of the Rackmond family for generations, and of course he will be interested."
