Duke William's carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace.

"Your Excellency. ”

Duke William stepped on the back of the coachman and got out of the carriage, ignoring the soldiers in front of the palace who nodded to him slightly, and walked straight down the wide avenue towards the palace. Out of respect for the royal family, even the dukes of the empire had to stop here and walk into the palace.

The avenue in front of the palace can be seen without walking a section of the soldier standing guard, as the strongest and largest empire in the mainland, the defense of the Westhale Palace can be said to be armed to the teeth, William is very clear, although there are only a few guards on the surface on this road, but there are a large number of mechanisms and defensive magic hidden in the dark, and if you want to attack the palace directly in the imperial capital, unless the entire empire has fallen.

Wishaler City is located in the north of the mainland, the time has entered autumn, the temperature of the imperial capital is also slowly dropping, Count William's eyes on the gutter nose flashed with a gloomy look, today's council meeting is the first time that the imperial regent has attended - before it was done by the prime minister, along the way, Count William has been constantly thinking about what special meaning this meeting has.

The affairs of the Maylis family have not yet been decided, and the war between the north and the Kingdom of Rosa has also fallen into a stalemate, and the Divine Casting City is worthy of being the first Xiongguan in the mainland, even if it has several times the strength of the enemy, but under the pass of the Bailing Mountains, they are still met with stubborn resistance from Lothar.

William often cursed frantically when no one was at home, venting his temper, and according to his words, it would not be long before he would become as bald as another duke of the empire.

"Isn't this Lord William?"

William walked with his head down, not paying any attention to the person in front of him - a middle-aged man with a somewhat slanted top, the muscles on his face were piled up because of obesity, a few gray hairs on the top of his head drooped haphazardly, and a thick black beard on his upper lip, this person was Crespo, the finance minister of the Wishale Empire, and he was also his political enemy.

Although he seems to be a rather sloppy person, his status in the Wishaler Empire is even higher than his.

"Master Crespo. A gentlemanly smile appeared on William's face: "I didn't expect to meet adults here, my lord, you are—"

"The Prime Minister has preached that we should go to the regent. Crespo spoke, the fat on both sides of his cheeks trembled: "I guess it's a princess." ”

William's eyebrows moved slightly, and his gloomy gaze swept to both sides, and he found that there were no guards around.

"In any case, the state must have a symbol of supreme power, and the majesty of the royal family must be there. Crespo sneered: "Whether it's a princess or a prince - oh no, it's better for the princess, as long as the power is on the side of the prime minister, today's conference room is still the old place." ”

Duke William glanced at Crespo, and then the two ministers walked side by side in the wide corridor, towards the residence of the royal ladies.

......

Hedwigh Wishaler sat quietly on the edge of the soft and spacious large velvet bed, the long golden hair that symbolized the royal blood of the Wishaler family drooped down to her waist, and the soft sunlight shone through the blinds on the princess's bedroom, making the princess's milky white dress more feminine.

"Guards. ”

Hedwig's soft voice rang out, and the clanging of armor rang out outside the door, and the door to the bedroom opened, and the guards fell to their knees on one knee, waiting for the princess's orders.

"You go and inform the Queen Mother, the council is about to begin. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers left the dormitory respectfully, even though they could only hear the princess's voice every day, which was the best reward for the guards.

For those of Wishaler who have seen Hedwig, their princess is like an angel - a smile can make their souls tremble, the princess of Wishal, without a trace of aristocratic shelves, she is like a pure blank paper, even then no one wants to drip a little ink on it, and today, this young girl who has never left the palace is about to become the regent of Wishal.

The Queen's bedchamber was not far from Hedwig's residence, and the knights were carefully selected to be loyal to the royal family of Wishal, even if Hedwig ordered them to die, these guards would not hesitate in the slightest.

"The Queen—"

The guard had just reached the door of the room, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and suddenly a man appeared in front of him—from the room, to be exact, and the two men almost collided.

The guard subconsciously wanted to go to his waist and pull out his weapon, but when he saw the face of the man in front of him, he quickly took two steps back and knelt on the ground in panic.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. ”

Rey, the prime minister of the Wishale Empire, his figure is not tall, he loves a head more than the guards, his short black hair is neatly tidied up, combed into a middle part, his handsome appearance even has a hint of feminine femininity, even in the entire imperial capital, Rey is also one of the most beautiful men, Rey always has a smile on his face, it is the smile of a superior who can control everything, but there are definitely a lot of lives left in Rey's hands, even if it is like the Maylis family, it also fell on his hands, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the back of the guard, and the whole body began to itch。

Due to his height, he saw the scene in the room just now, although Rey was the only one who walked out of it, but on the luxurious big bed, the cup was crumpled and kneaded, and the folds of the quilt vaguely outlined the shape of a person.

The guard's gaze fell on Rey's boots, the black leather boots polished and polished, without a trace of dust on them. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the guard could even hear the sound of his own Adam's apple sliding up and down.

With a snap, a drop of sweat fell directly on the ground in front of him, slowly shattering.

"There's a woman in there, do you want it?"

Rey's feminine voice rang out.

"I, I, my lord, you're kidding, there's no one in this room. The guards' bodies trembled.

"Get out of here!"

It seemed that a century had passed, and the guards finally heard Rey's voice again, and suddenly they fell directly on their sides and rolled outward along the corridor for some distance, and then hurriedly got up and walked quickly in Rey's sight.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and a woman's head came out of the cup.

"Rey, you're too careless—"

"Don't worry, I'll see this subordinate's head when the meeting is over. Rey gently straightened his collar: "I'll go to the front hall first, you clean up immediately, today is the day when our daughter, Hedwig, takes the throne......"
