Seeing that Arnold agreed to his request, Harold III finally smiled with relief.

"Then I'm relieved. As you can see, my body is really useless now, and I can't continue to talk to you, so let me rest for a while. ”

Harold III's words clearly conveyed the intention of ending the conversation, and Arnold also offered to take his leave with great interest.

"Alcott, you stay. ”

Seeing that the eldest son also seemed to want to take the opportunity to slip away, Harold III's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he called out to Alcott.

Alcott had no choice but to grimace and obediently return to his father.

Arnold, who was already about to reach the door of the dormitory, stopped when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at the father and son, and then turned back and left the emperor's dormitory.

Alcott didn't pay any attention to Arnold's departure, but Harold III kept an eye on Arnold.

It was only after he was sure that Arnold had really left that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his tense face was loosened.

"Father. ”

Alcott thought that the emperor was going to make a long speech, so he stood honestly in front of his father, bowing his head like a child who had done something wrong, ready to listen to his father's teachings.

Harold III looked at his son and sighed again.

"Alright, let's find a seat. ”

Alcott looked up in surprise, not understanding why his father's tone had suddenly become so gentle.

"Stupid. Seeing that his son didn't understand what he meant, Harold III couldn't help but scold, "Tell you to sit down, there are no outsiders here, why are you still standing there stupidly!"

As soon as he was scolded by his father, Alcott's face improved, and he sat down on the chair where Arnold was sitting just now, and sat down obediently.

"When you came, did you see the Praetorian Guards in the palace?"

"Nope. Alcott shook his head, "I was brought by Farage through a secret passage in the Archon's Mansion, without passing through the gates of the palace. ”

After thinking about it, Alcott cautiously asked his father, "That secret passage...... You should know that, right?"

"Iscariosius's one, right? I know. Harold III's expression was calm, as if he didn't take this secret passage leading directly to his dormitory seriously, "After you entered the palace, did you feel that there were fewer Janissaries in the palace?" ”

"It's a lot less. Alcott nodded repeatedly, "I guess I was transferred to the Archon's Mansion by Farage, and I didn't meet some Praetorian Guards until I came here in front of your dormitory." ”

Harold III was silent, but his face was very unsightly.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Alcott didn't quite understand why the Emperor was asking this question, but when he saw his father's face, he could roughly guess that it would not be a good thing.

"Haven't you ever wondered how that Figlaf got in?" Harold III glared at his son with some annoyance, "I didn't receive any notice until he appeared in front of me, and he just came in." You say, how did he get into the palace?"

Alcott's eyes widened, surprised and a little scared.

"Then, it's hard to do it, it's ...... outside the palace now"

"Don't talk about the outside of the palace," Harold III snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's full of people from the Cold Mountain Territory now, Arnold Svan Fegraf not only wants to take care of the defense of the imperial capital, but now he even has to take care of the defense of the palace." ”

"But, it doesn't make sense, how did he be able to mobilize an army to defend the palace so quickly?" Alcott couldn't help but scratch his head, "Obviously Ian is fighting him, how could he get rid of Ian so quickly and rush to the palace." Isn't he as fast as he is in the secret path? Is he really so powerful that even the Grand Magus is no match for him?"

Harold III pondered for a while, and then said to his son: "Tell me the ins and outs of this matter in detail." Don't miss out on the details, there's still time, are you sure he went to the consul's mansion and then surrounded the palace?"

Alcott knew that he was not as experienced as his father, so he explained the matter of 1510 as it was, just waiting for his father to come up with a reason.

Harold III thought, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrests of the couch.

"It's strange indeed, according to what you said, when he arrived at the Archon's Residence, he must have already arrived at me, and he couldn't have come from the Archon's Mansion to the Palace. Could it be that there are two Arnold Svan Feglaf?"

"Could it be magic?" Alcott guessed.

"Unlikely, you said that Ian Profmo was also in the Consulate at the time, and if it was magic, he shouldn't have been unable to see it. Speaking of Ian, the Emperor suddenly remembered, "Send someone to the Archon's residence to see how the situation is going over there, and if Ian is not dead, call him quickly, and ask him and you should be able to figure things out." ”

Alcott was still a little worried. "However, if the palace is really surrounded by the cold mountain army, will they allow us to send people out of the palace?"

"Don't worry about that. Harold III looked more confident, "Federlaf's purpose is not us, he and the royal family, at least not directly contradict us." It is true that he is an ambitious person, but his ambition is not here, not in the imperial capital, not on our territory, and we can still negotiate terms with him. Moreover, the help we can provide to him now is exactly what he needs, and if we can make a deal with Figraf to a certain extent, it will be very beneficial for us and for him. ”

Alcot thought about it for a moment and kind of understood. "So you just asked Fegraf to 'help get through this,' is that?"

Harold III glanced at his son, although stupid, Alcott was not really hopelessly stupid.

"That's right, you remember, the next step is to stabilize him as much as possible, although he only has 10,000 men at his disposal, and many of them are Northville and Tamska men, but for the imperial capital that is so empty at the moment, Fegraf has everything in his hands. In the worst-case scenario, if Feglaf had turned against the White Guys, the empire would have perished. ”

"It should ...... Probably not, right?" Alcott was so frightened by his father that his face turned white.

Harold III shook his head very solemnly.

"Nothing is impossible, in this world, everything is possible. Haven't you wondered why Iscario sent Feglav to stay in the Imperial Capital?"

"Why?" Alcott asked, subconsciously.

"He's deliberately using Fegraf to divert our attention!" Harold III sighed, "Now he has more than 200,000 heavy troops in his hands, which is the greatest strength that our Storor family can show at present, such a huge military power, even my own sons and brothers can't be trusted, so I want Felix to follow him, and I can't let him monopolize the power." Obviously, he understood my intentions, so he deliberately left an ambitious Feglav to cause trouble for us, in order to prevent us from interfering too much in the affairs of the front. If you think about it, he has delegated the position of acting ruler to you, but has he really relinquished this power? Everyone around you has the shadow of Iscario behind him, especially that Farage, this unruly and self-righteous guy, he only listens to Iscario's orders, where does he really regard you as his boss? So, be careful of your brother, Feglaf is much less of a threat than Iscario, you would rather treat him as a brother than a brother. ”

Harold III's words made Alcott's heart extremely heavy, he had never thought about his brother like this, and even at this moment, he did not want to think of Iscario with such insidious thoughts.

"I see. Alcott bowed his head and replied sullenly.

——————————————————

After leaving Harold III's bedchamber, Arnold swaggered through the ranks of the Praetorian Guard and into the ranks of his own troops.

Michelia sat in the carriage, looking at Arnold through the window.

Arnoldra opened the door, paused, and glanced back.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the toy that fell into my hands. ”

Michelia couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems that your goal has been achieved, and now you are indeed the most powerful person in the imperial capital, but the prince of Iscario, who still has an army of 200,000 on the side of the Mirror Lake Territory, you can now dominate the imperial capital with 10,000 people, but the cat that catches mice is not at home. ”

"Iscario is too busy to take care of himself, does he really have what it takes to defeat the White Guys?" Arnold got into the carriage and motioned for the coachman to leave, "Stalemate with the White Guys is the best he can do." He will not be defeated, but if he wants to defeat the white people, even if he has the ability, there are not enough conditions for him to use. ”

"What if he is defeated by the White Lands and the barbarian chiefs of the northerners drive straight in?"

Arnold was silent for a moment.

"Then let's go back immediately, an army of 10,000 people may not be able to compete with the Baidi people, but if you want to leave the chaotic Wangji safely, it will not be a problem. ”

"So......" Michelia asked, narrowing her eyes and a little ill-willed, "what about Bishop Juan of Harbor of Azur?"

Arnold and Michelia looked at each other, neither of them speaking, but they already knew it.

In silence, the soldiers of the brigade drove out of the palace in a crowd of Michelia's carriages, and they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, because the palace was now controlled by the army of the Leng Shan Leader, and Arnold's subordinates were stationed in every corner except around the emperor's bedchamber.

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate, and it happened that a carriage also came in front of it, and the other side was also surrounded by a large number of people, but the pair of men and horses were not wearing armor, but the black robes of the priests.

Seeing the carriage, the corners of Arnold's mouth couldn't help but curl.

"Oh, did you do it on purpose, just in time to see the face of another of his defeated men?" Mithelia teased Arnold, who, as a participant in the plan, knew the ins and outs of the whole plan.

"It's not like a defeat yet. Arnold knocked on the door and motioned for the coachman to stop, "but I do expect his expression." ”

The two carriages met at the palace gate, and both had to stop due to the narrowness of the gate and the large number of guards of each other.

The men in the carriage on the opposite side were the first to come down, and Francis and Ian appeared together, but the expression on Francis' face was confident, while Ian was more worried.

Seeing the coat of arms of the Tamska family on the carriage, Francis subconsciously thought that Michelia was sitting alone in the carriage.

"I'm very sorry, honorable Miss Michelia. He came to the carriage, still with the same respectful demeanor, "It seems that my carriage is blocking your way, but in such a narrow place, it is difficult for the carriage to turn around, can you please ask your entourage to give way?"

"Why don't you let your men back off?" Arnold smiled at Francis' shocked expression as the door opened, "It's not convenient to get my entourage out of the way, after all, the whole palace is now full of my people, and there is no place to retreat." ”

Francis looked up in a daze, only to see the rows of soldiers armed with bows and arrows on the walls of the palace, all staring at him equally.

He finally understood that he was being calculated.
