Chapter 193: Preparation

Counting the dynasties of the human empire, if you want to compete for the throne, it will be very difficult.

First of all, it depends on whether you are a prince or a princess, whether you have the right to inherit the throne, if there is one, it is the best, and then there will be a justifiable meaning in it, but in this process you need to go through countless open and secret battles, it can be said that the battle between the crown princes is much higher than the war in terms of ornamentation.

War, to put it simply, is strategy and troops, who has more troops, who has an advantage, and then the gap in strength can be made up by strategy to a certain extent, but this is only to a certain extent, the specific degree depends on the subtlety of the strategy, there is no shortage of talents in history, but that is only a minority after all.

To take the simplest example, the opponent has 1,000 people, and you only have 10 people, as long as the opponent is not stupid, just push it over, no matter how clever your strategy is, it is impossible to make up for such a huge numerical advantage.

On the contrary, the battle of the crown prince requires Omoses Roy, who is vertically and horizontally, assassination, assassination, and open and secret fighting, and if all these are recorded, a "Encyclopedia of Court Struggles" can be published for the reference of those who follow.

The Star Empire is barely the most gentle one, and the current crown prince has properly fallen on Song Xin's body, and the other princes and princesses are either weak and incompetent, or they have already died on the throne and know that they are not worthy of the throne, or those who are intoxicated with wine and have no delusions about the throne at all, so Song Xin can sit firmly in the position of the first heir.

However, this is also the misfortune of Xingchen, Song Xin's ascendancy is somewhat "willing" in the eyes of others, the general competition for the throne of the country is to go through the blood fight between the outstanding heirs, and the last winner can get the laurel, to put it bluntly, it is a Gu worm, this process of fighting is a process of choice on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a process of growth of a prince and princess, the guy who survives must be the strongest, so that he can lead the entire empire.

However, if you don't have royal blood and are just a powerful minister, then you need to form a party in the court, form a faction, and develop a party.

What, you said that as long as half of the people in the court are yours?!

Naive, you think it's stocks, if you want to ascend the throne yourself, there are only a few people who are not yours to sit in the court, in addition, there are military powers, the royal family also has all kinds of hole cards, and finally you have to ask those people if they agree.

In short, the throne is indeed a good thing, but it is not a hundred and eighty years of hard work to get it.

But here the elves are different, most of the elves think very highly of themselves and are unwilling to deal with political affairs, so almost all the things that manage the elves fall on the head of the elf queen, and most of the older elf elders don't care about the world and live in seclusion in a corner of the elf forest.

So, isn't that a good time?

As Carol's bodyguard, Roxanne naturally knows all this, so he thought that as long as he controls the elf princess, it is equivalent to controlling the elf race, when the elf queen was there, he didn't dare to be presumptuous when he gave him two guts, but now that Her Royal Highness the queen is missing, it happens to be a good opportunity.

As long as he can touch the power of the elf race, he can push all the elf queen disappearance cases to that group of humans, and then judge those humans in front of all the elf races, wouldn't he be able to brush up on his own prestige and force the elf princess to marry him, and declare to the outside world that "the elf princess is grateful to herself for finding out the truth, so she promises to herself", and further control the elf race with this identity, and finally incite the entire race to attack the human race.

Thinking about her actions, Roxanne obediently stayed in the confinement room until Carol let herself out, and then came to her home.

But just when he was about to act, he encountered a problem, he had thought about threatening the elf princess, so what threat should he take

That's a problem.

Not only was Roxanne a little scared at this time, but what if Carol didn't accept the threat?! What if she doesn't agree?! If this plan is revealed, he will be finished, and whether he kills Carol to keep his mouth shut or escapes from the elves overnight, he will become a sinner who has been stinking for thousands of years.

But after killing Carol, blame the humans.

As soon as this idea came out of his mind, he was vetoed by Roxanne, although he may have escaped, but the ruling party will definitely change to a side of the royal family, and it is even more impossible for him to be in power as Carol's escort at that time.

Recognizing that she was incapable of being alone, Roxanne turned to her friend, Brown, who was also a court guard like him.

At this time, Brown was sitting in his own home, and he was resting today, holding a pot of fine moon flower tea and savoring it carefully, when an inexplicable knock on the door came.

Brown got up and opened the door, and outside the door was someone he hadn't expected.

"Roxanne, you, why are you here?!"

Of course, Brown knew about Roxanne's confinement, or everyone in the palace knew about it, and Brown thought that Roxanne must be remorseful or scolded at home, but the other party actually came to visit him.

The comer is not good!

"Hello, Brown."

Brown cautiously stepped back, distanced himself from Roxanne, and asked cautiously:

"Hello, Roxanne, I don't know what I'm here for?"

Roxanne pretended to look around casually to make sure there was no one else around, and then said with a smile on her face:

"I just want to chat with you, after all, you also know that I was recently punished by His Royal Highness Carol, so I am a little depressed, and I want to chat with you and express myself."

There was nothing wrong with this reason, so Brown didn't refuse, but served Roxanne a cup of moon flower tea as well.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about the disappearance of Her Royal Highness the Queen, after all, this matter is very tight, and even the group of humans are detained here."

Brown's heart tightened, this kind of thing was not something that people like them should be involved in discussing at all.

"Roxanne, don't talk about this kind of topic casually, it's better not to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, we just need to do a good job of guarding."

Roxanne waved her hand:

"It's just the two of us here, and if you tell the truth, you won't be heard."

Brown, who was sitting opposite Roxanne, listened to his words, and the vigilance in his heart reached its apex, generally when he said the phrase "only you and I hear", the other party would definitely want you to say something that could not be made public, but Brown was not a fool, and of course he would not follow his wishes, so he pretended to be stupid and said:

"The Empress's affairs are not something we can intervene in, so it's better to talk less about this kind of thing."

"It's just a small talk between two people, or do you not even have the courage to say two words, Brown?"

"So what do you want to talk about?!"

Brown is very single, and if the other party doesn't speak, he will blindly talk to the other party, anyway, you have a request for me, not for me.

Roxanne was in a hurry now, he knew that no matter how much he guided the cautious Brown, he would not say anything decisive, so he had to speak first.

"Don't you think this has something to do with the humans? Why did Her Majesty the Empress disappear when they came, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a coincidence. ”

There is a lot of controversy about the disappearance of the Elven Queen, and Sally and the others think that they have come to the Elven Race at the time of the Elven Queen's disappearance, and some people in the Elven Race, as Roxanne said, think that it is too much of a coincidence that Her Majesty the Empress disappeared after the arrival of this group of humans.

Brown is more or less an elf, and he must hate humans for the elven race in his heart, and the main thing is that Roxanne makes sense to say this.

"That's right, I always feel that Her Majesty's disappearance is inseparable from human beings, and it's difficult for Her Royal Highness the Princess, so the Empress who loves her is missing, and the heavy responsibility of the elves is all on her."

In the elven race, the blood bond between parents and children is not as strong as that between the human race, after all, the elf clan claims to be the son of the forest, and thinks that everyone is the son of the forest, but this does not include the elven queen, and her love for Carol can be regarded as doting in the human race, which also causes Carol to have not taken on much responsibility since she was a child.

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the princess is really not easy, and my punishment this time can be regarded as deserved, but ah"

"But what?"

"But I can't swallow this breath, since I regard you as my friend, I'll talk to you today, you probably don't know why I was punished, I just think I angered Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ke Dong didn't say anything about that incident, and Carol was of course even more impossible, so no one except the person concerned knew about it, and now that Roxanne wanted to tell himself, Brown couldn't help but feel a little moved, and even felt a little guilty with his previous suspicions about Roxanne.

"After all, as Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal bodyguard, my duty is to protect the princess's safety, but when the princess interrogated one of them, that person, that person turned out to be."

"What the hell."

Brown asked anxiously, humans have a bad reputation among the elves, and in his mind, humans can't do anything too much.

"When he saw the beauty of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he actually had the idea of flirting with the princess, not only speaking disrespectfully, but also trying to touch the princess's body in vain, I missed and injured him because I wanted to protect the princess, but he actually used this as a threat, and said that he was the heir of a certain big country, if Her Royal Highness the princess did not punish me, it would cause disputes between the two races, and His Royal Highness, who cared about the entire elf race, had no choice but to punish me."

"But that's not what I heard, I heard that you punished you for acting recklessly and angering the princess."

"Did Her Highness tell me that I had done anything wrong?"

Brown frowned and pondered:

"Not really."

"So you should be clear, it must be that Her Royal Highness the princess didn't dare to tell the truth to find such an excuse."

Roxanne's reasoning was convincing, and Brown believed it in his heart.

"Then what should we do, hey, but even if we want to do something, we don't have the ability, after all, we are just a guard."

Brown sighed, the rigid hierarchy limiting them, force, in many cases only a fraction of their strength.

"Yes."

"What! What did you say! ”

Brown shook Roxanne's body, his tone anxious.

Brown's reaction played into Roxanne's heart, and he said with a secret smile in his heart:

"I said that we have a way to change all this, not only Her Royal Highness, but even the entire elven race."

"This."

Now it was Roxanne's turn to take Brown's shoulders and stare into the other's eyes and say:

"I now have a way to save the whole race, can you help me?"

Brown, who was at his peak of emotion, nodded:

"Of course, as long as you can get rid of those humans, you can do anything."

"Listen, we're going to go down through Her Highness the Princess now to convict those humans."

Brown hesitated:

"But, what is the crime, they can stay in the living room and never go out."

"Isn't the crime ready-made, that is, they took away and killed the Empress, and we are the heroes who found the real culprit, and then we took this opportunity to declare war on the human race, and with the strength of our elven race, we will definitely be able to kill those despicable guys."

"Will the other elves believe it?"

"They, how could they not believe it, if that group of humans didn't live in the palace, they would have been dismantled by now, you know, rumors are the fastest spreading thing, the truth is never important."

But Brown eventually asked the same question as Roxanne at the time:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is so kind, she won't agree to us doing this, right?"

Roxanne's eyes flashed, and she said:

"You know, Her Royal Highness has not been involved in political affairs since she was a child, and now she has been frightened by those humans and cannot rely on her."

"But but."

Ignoring Brown's questioning, Roxanne continued:

"We are going to threaten the princess, and threatening that the best thing for a person is what she cherishes the most, and we will say that Her Majesty is in our hands, and if she is disobedient, we will kill Her Majesty."

Brown was speechless in shock, he thought that Roxanne just wanted to take revenge on those humans, but he didn't expect him to have such a rebellious idea.

Brown shook his head like a rattle:

"No, no, no, there's no way I'm going to cooperate with you to do such a crazy thing."

As the bodyguard of the royal family, he knows best what the consequences of betraying the royal family are.

Roxanne was not in a hurry, but showed a strange smile:

"However, I have already recorded all of what we just said, so don't blame me if you don't cooperate with me."

Thanks to that human for teaching me this trick.

In the end, Brown compromised, and there wasn't much to talk about with a madman, and if you didn't go crazy with him, he would destroy you, so man, admit it when it's time to admit it, and so do elves.

"Since you agreed, Brown, then without further ado, let's go to Her Royal Highness the princess now."

Roxanne couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the thought of her grandeur, and if she didn't hurry, it would be all in vain if the Elven Queen returned.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of a wave...........

Brown, who got on the thief ship, was very helpless, he could only follow Roxanne now, if he succeeded, he would be rich and rich, and if he failed, he would have nothing.

"Well, everything is up to you."

Brown and Roxanne grabbed their swords and headed for the palace in a menacing manner, but were unsurprisingly stopped.

"Excuse me, what are Lord Brown and Lord Roxanne here for?"

The other guards of the palace asked, after all, they were not allowed to set foot in the palace except for their own working hours.

"We have found clues about the disappearance of Her Majesty the Empress, so we have come to inform Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"What! Then go in quickly. ”

Roxanne smiled coldly, I knew that you would react like this, and when I took down that group of humans, wouldn't it mean that I knew the clues?

Guided by the guards, Roxanne and Brown quickly passed through the levels, and since the Elven Empress's disappearance, they had tripled the palace's vigilance, and if no one was to guide them, they would probably be beaten into a sieve after a few steps.
