The Rocal Empire was in turmoil, with soldiers with a friendship of robes killing each other, and the common people were terrified all day long to avoid unwarranted disasters. The center of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info has been in a mess, and the place has fallen into chaos. This ancient empire, which has a history of thousands of years, looks like a towering tree with lush foliage, but in fact, the inside of the tree pole has long been hollowed out, and it is empty and crumbling.

And at the time of this national crisis, the people who planned this civil war behind the scenes were in a villa by a beautiful small lake in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, comfortably and safely avoiding all war.

The villa's parlor was converted into a war room, with a large sand table in the middle, showing the imperial capital of Alexandria and the nearby battlefield. The small flags representing the armies of the two princes were pulled out of their original positions one by one and then planted in new positions, while in the center of the battlefield, where the imperial capital was located, the flags representing the third party remained untouched. The hands that wielded these little flags were a pair of delicate and smooth hands that could be blown apart, but it was also these hands that played with the chaos of the Empire, playing with the fate of the two princes and the empire.

After thinking carefully about the situation of the battle, Empress Ipeia sat down at her desk by the sand table, took out her quill pen, wrote two identical lines on two sheets of paper, and then packed them in two envelopes.

"Send it out, on both sides. Ipeia instructed Nanokei, who had been standing by her side.

"Yes. Nanokhai picked up two letters from her desk, said yes, and turned to walk towards the door.

Originally, the intelligence work has been in charge of the third sister Milalie, but in the Battle of Antigorin, Milali and the second sister Sasha were both seriously injured, although they barely saved their lives, but there is still a period of time before they recover to be able to work, so Nanokai, as the eldest sister, has to take on the work of intelligence. She knew what Ipeya's ambiguous words meant, Empress Ipeya had already installed her own people around the two princes, and the location of these eyes and ears was enough to influence the decisions of the two princes—for example, the ancient tunnel, hidden beneath the town of Black Pines, which no one could know, was conveyed to Prince Busubao through these eyes and ears.

Therefore, it can be seen that Ipeia's stirring up of this civil strife that caused the wall had been planned and deployed many years ago, and Julian's arrival at this time was nothing more than a key to open the door.

"Wait a minute!"

Ipeya raised her voice and summoned Nanokei, who had already walked down the hallway, back to herself.

"For the Prince of Busubao, it's 12 hours late. Ipeia added.

"Understood, Miss, what else do you have to order?" Nanokhai further confirmed.

"Well, there you go. Go and come back quickly, just stay safe. ”

......

After Nanokhai took the order, there were only two people left in the war room.

"Snort. ”

The man sitting in the corner, the "man by the river" - Prince Harun laughed out loud.

After returning from Antigorin, Ipea took over the villa from the Grand Duke Rousseau, and the guards and servants who had been in the villa were disbanded and replaced by members of the Fernández family. In other words, the only male in this huge house is Prince Harun himself.

Prince Harun is not at all interested in how Ipaya is stirring up trouble in her empire, he only cares about the "Key of the Stars" and "Eternal Victory", and as long as Ipeya's actions do not conflict with his purposes, Prince Harun does not bother to interfere. However, not interfering does not mean that he has not done anything, and by using his status as a "superior", Prince Harun forcibly marched into Xi Yipaya's every deployment, and firmly monitored her every move.

"Your Royal Highness, do you think there is anything inappropriate about the arrangement of concubines? Ipeya smiled politely at Prince Harun.

"What comment can I have? Looking at your handwriting, it would not have been possible if it weren't for the people who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. I used to think I was a battlefield killer, but compared to the eldest lady, I really didn't dare to do it. ”

"Then why did His Royal Highness the Prince laugh just now?"

"I wasn't laughing, I was just curious.

"Curious about what?"

"You don't look like a puppet empress in the boudoir at all, how can I smell some weathered tough guy smell in you?

"What do you mean 3,000 years ago, Prince?"

"Nothing else, it's just that every time you notice that you seem to pass by that oil painting in the hallway, you can't help but look sideways. ”

"Oil painting, what oil painting?"

"It's the oil painting that praises your country's 'Sage Emperor Zhongxing' 3,000 years ago. You know I wouldn't mean otherwise. ”

"It's because ......"

"Forget it, it's your own family's business anyway. As long as you don't delay the great cause of the organization. ”

Before Ipeya could give her explanation, Prince Harun interrupted her, putting an end to his own question. After saying that, Prince Harun did not linger in the war room and left alone.

She was the only one left in the war room. Ipeia sat in her chair, thinking wistfully.

The man seemed to sense something. Do you want to shut him up?"

A slender old woman suddenly appeared out of thin air and asked in an old voice.

"Don't. Once I started to do so, I would be saying that I would openly break with the Truth Society, which would be harmful to us at this stage, and would go against my original intention of joining the Truth Society in the first place. Ipeia waved her hand, disagreeing.

She was not at all surprised by the old woman's elusiveness, for Ipeya knew that the woman had been by her side all along.

"Whatever you want. Leaving this sentence, the old woman's body gradually faded.

"Wait a minute, Fudilokaya. Ipeia called out the old woman's name, "You dragons can change into the appearance of humans or other intelligent species at will to facilitate their movements. But I don't understand why you've made yourself so old? You weren't like that before. ”

"Alas...... Yes, as dragons, we can transform into the form of any animal, but no matter how we change, the appearance of the transformation reflects our true heart. ”

"I can't believe that 3,000 years of time has worn down the tenacious fighting spirit in your heart into such an aging and miserable mentality. ”

"It was before, and now it is now. When you came to the Undercity a few days ago to contact me again, you should have noticed that I was not the same as before. But you can rest assured that no matter what my heart is, since I have made a pact with you again, I will continue to help you until the last step. ”

With that, Vodilokaya's figure disappeared into thin air, as if she had never existed.

......

Underneath the villa, on the other side of the thermal baths, there is an ice cellar where food and wine are stored, and even on dog days, it is in a cold and dry state for a long time.

Today, all the food and wine in the ice cellar have been moved elsewhere, and the vacant space has been filled with more ice. A large ice cellar was used only to store, or rather imprison a living person.

Ray, under the refrigeration of ultra-low temperature, his heartbeat has dropped to 1 beats per minute, which has reached the minimum limit of life. Not only is it imprisoned with ice, but there are also several powerful magical enchantments set up outside the ice cellar. But even with such a tight guard, Ipeia seems to be worried that Ray will suddenly break free from the cage and escape, so before putting Ray in the ice cellar, she actually administers multiple drugs on his upper body, just in case.

This magical golden dragon knight is too important for Ipeia's next plans, which is why she must capture Ray before escaping the Antigorin Sea.

Taking advantage of the gap between the guards at the gate and the short period of unguarded, Prince Harlan came to the door of the ice cellar.

"What's so special about you?" said Prince Harun, looking through the surveillance hole in the iron door, as he looked at the thunder that had been sealed in layers of ice.

Then, he pulled out a key he had just stolen from Ipeia and inserted it into the keyhole in the iron door.

"Boom"!

Prince Harun spotted the danger from behind in time and quickly dodged, causing the spear that had been thrown at his back to slam into the iron door with a dull sound.

"Master Harlan, this is not the place for you to come, please leave. The two female soldiers who had returned from the new guard glared at him viciously, full of hostility.

One of the female soldiers was shorter and armed with a sword and shield, while the other was taller and had her hands free, and it seemed that she had thrown her spear.

"I'm going to go in and have a look, and you just have to keep watch outside. Harlan spread his hands and said.

"No! No one is allowed to approach without the order of the eldest lady. The shorter female soldier said solemnly.

"Hey, you eldest ladies have to listen to my orders, you two yellow-haired girls dare to stop me?"

"Please-you--go-go!," the taller female soldier warned word by word, as she drew the dagger pinned to her waist.

The two female soldiers took a fighting stance.

Although Ipeia is Prince Harun's subordinate in the Truth Society, the Fernandez family is not a member of the Truth Society, and their allegiance is to Ipeia herself, not the Truth Society. Even if Harun has no subordinate relationship with Ipeia, he has at least shared hardships, but the second concubine is so unsympathetic and refuses to give an inch, which somewhat surprises Prince Harun.

He glanced at the spear at his feet, and then measured the distance between them, he knew that with his own strength, it would be easy to kill the two female soldiers in an instant, but it would not do him any good to do so.

Anyway, I'm just a little curious about Lei, and there's nothing to lose if I don't get in touch.

"Okay. After weighing the pros and cons, Prince Harun took the initiative to make concessions.

With a nonchalant expression, he retrieved the key and walked straight past the two highly-guarded female soldiers, stepping up the spiral staircase to the ground.

"I'd like to see what you can do?"

Before the shadows covered his figure, a sneer crossed Prince Harlan's lips.
