While the two deans, Willford Leader and Fama Ax, were discussing how to promote the exchange and cooperation between the two colleges, the majestic palace in the middle of Boulder City also welcomed a guest from the Higg Empire.

The guest was personally sent by Viscount Fabre in the south of the empire, according to Fabre's report, this guest was a smuggler caught by the imperial border guards, but unlike other smugglers, he claimed to be an envoy sent by the Emperor of the Higg Empire, and had a special mission to meet His Majesty Yous in person, and did not go through diplomatic channels for the purpose of secrecy, and the border guards did search for the seal of the Emperor Hig on his body, and Fabre couldn't help but believe it, when Fabre asked what the envoy's mission was, the envoy said that he was only responsible for transmitting the letter, and he did not know the content of the letter, so Viscount Fabre did not dare to delay, and personally escorted the envoy to the north in the name of debriefingand made the matter known to His Majesty Yuss in the early days.

Since it was not through the official channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting was not in the main hall where the Emperor Yuss held the court meeting, but in a council hall where the emperor usually handled the affairs of the court.

Even the side hall is decorated with the grandeur of the imperial family, the house is made of marble, and the floor is covered with fine wool carpets from the Northwest. The hall is 50 feet long, 20 feet high, and 30 feet wide, with four gates leading to the emperor's chambers in the center of the east side. To the west are fifteen large floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the garden, allowing plenty of natural light, and to the north are huge marble walls adorned with fine stone carvings and paintings. The pillars of the hall are made of green marble, and the capital, base and parapet are all gilded with brass, and the motif is the theme of the scene of the founding campaign of Julius the Great. On the ceiling are fifteen huge Cancia crystal chandeliers (rumored to have been invented by a man named Cancia), as well as landscape paintings. Most of the furniture in the hall is made of boreal oak from the northern wilderness, exuding a faint fragrance, and a small number of furniture and flower bonsai decorations are made of sterling silver, and the bonsai is mainly made of sherry poppy.

At the top of the innermost part of the hall sat a large throne, and at this time the master of the Yus Empire, Wittels-Yus XI, sat on a high throne. He dismissed the unrelated personnel, leaving only a few personal guards, and then looked down condescendingly at the Higg envoy who had come to meet him.

Forty-five years old, Vettels Youss is in the prime of life, and compared with the frail body of ordinary emperors, because Vettels had carried a sword on the continent when he was a teenager, he really cultivated a strong physique, sitting on the tall and wide imperial chair more and more exuding the momentum of the world, and on his broad forehead he wore a crown that showed his imperial status, and on it was inlaid with rubies from the depths of the Britstran Mountains that symbolized the coexistence of wisdom and strength.

The envoy walked into the hall, faced the high Emperor Yus, closed his right arm to his chest, gave a deep bow, and then said a word of respect and blessing. Emperor Yus waved his hand and motioned for the other party to be excused.

"I don't know what the envoy is doing here?" Emperor Yuss the Great did not have too much politeness and went straight to the topic.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Emperor of our country, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to look at it. ”

The envoy spoke with a unique accent from the southerners of the mainland, and after speaking, he took out a pair of parchment scrolls from his sleeve and handed them to the guards in the palace.

Julius the Great took the scroll handed by the guard, unfolded it, and looked at it, then frowned, and wrinkled more and more.

After a few moments, Yuss the Great finished reading the scroll and re-rolled it up, then set his eyes on the envoy.

"Is there anything else that Your Majesty Higg has to say for you to bring with you?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty of our country has not explained more, but I hope that Your Majesty will reply as soon as possible. ”

"The stakes are so great that I have to think carefully before I can give you an answer, you stay in Boulder City for a while, and I'll let you know as soon as I've decided. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but before the official came, His Majesty of our country had specially told him that because of the importance of the matter, he also asked His Majesty to keep it secret. The subordinate retired, waiting for His Majesty's will. ”

After the envoy finished speaking, he saluted Emperor Yus the Great again before leaving the side hall under the guidance of the guards.

Emperor Yuss watched the back of the envoy leave with Hig, then picked up the parchment scroll again, and thought for a moment with a solemn expression.

"The decree is that the Minister of War and the President of the Knight Academy will enter the palace tomorrow morning to discuss matters. ”——

The little man was from the southern part of the Empire, and his father worked in the official residence of Viscount Fabre, the consul of Yorkshire in the southern part of the Empire. Due to the same age, since he was a child, Matthews has been playing with Arman, the son of Viscount Fabre, due to the difference in status between his parents, he has been a follower of Arman's son since he was a child, and has been followed to the Royal Knight Academy of the Empire. Whoever allowed him to enter the Royal Knight Academy of the Empire is also a matter of asking Viscount Fabre to go!

It's just that Arman, the boss, hasn't seen Matthews since he was called to the dean's office to see the military secretary yesterday afternoon. Even this morning's tactical training class Arman did not go, which not only made Matthews feel a little strange, could it be that Arman was directly asked to leave by the military department before he graduated, this kind of thing seems to have never happened as far as he knows, although Arman has performed well in the academy, but it is far from reaching the realm of being unique and dominant, so it is unlikely that the military department can't wait to take him away. And last night, the people from the law enforcement team also found him and carefully asked about the details of what happened yesterday afternoon, especially the student on duty in the principal's office, Robert, who asked him very carefully, including every word he said was repeated by Matthews word for word, which made Matthews feel that yesterday's incident was not so simple, and it seemed that there was something else, but I don't know if it was related to the disappearance of the boss Arman.

By lunchtime, Matthews had not seen Arman appear, which made him feel inexplicably worried, but just as he was suspicious, suddenly a student ran up to him and stuffed him with a note, which he opened and read, "Come to my lodgings alone after lunch." "It's Arman Fabre. Seeing that it was the boss's handwriting, Matthews finally relieved himself, at least nothing happened to the boss. It's just that what puzzled him was why the boss didn't look for him directly, but let him go to the boss's residence quietly. But since he was fine, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, everything would be clear when he saw the boss in a while. So he hurried to pick up a few bites of food and hastily ended lunch.

Arman lives in a bachelor apartment in the living quarters at the back of the academy and enjoys a separate room, which is not something that every student can get and requires Arman to pay an additional fee to the academy.

Matthews stopped in the hallway outside Arman's bachelor apartment and knocked on the door, and a moment later, Arman's voice came from inside the room, motioning for him to enter the door, and Matthews pushed the door open, walked in gently, and then froze.

Matthews thought of many possibilities for Arman to skip class in the morning, but never thought that his boss would not be able to go to class because he had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Boss, this... What's wrong with your face?"

Arman's face under the golden curls was quite handsome, but at this time it was blue and purple, and the eyes were black and red and swollen into a slit, and the cheeks were swollen and large, and there were still cracks at the corners of his mouth. However, it was all skin trauma, not a bone, so Arman could still speak.

"Don't mention it, we were all fooled yesterday......" Arman briefly explained yesterday's tragic experience to the younger brother.
