Chapter 136: Inquiry 2
"They are all officials of the Viton Empire, and they often come to their father's study to discuss some things!"
These are all normal, as the prime minister of a country, it is his scope of work to associate with officials.
"Did you come and go back and forth too often, or did there be anything unusual about your father after he was sent away?"
"Frequent and unusual?" Dale recalled, looking down.
Flandi didn't bother her and told her to think about it.
"It seems that once the second prince came to the house and had something to do, and when he saw him off, his father was very angry!"
"Second prince?"
Flandi really didn't know who the royal family of the Witton Empire was.
Seeing that Flandy didn't know, Dale explained: "His Majesty Mandel of the Witton Empire has a total of four princes, two princesses, and the eldest prince has been outside all the time I don't know where to go, and it is the second prince who helps His Majesty deal with state affairs. ”
"The second prince is helping to deal with state affairs?" Flandy was a little strange. As an emperor, why don't you handle such a major matter as your majesty's national affairs yourself?
"Well, I heard my father say that His Majesty the Emperor has a disease of wealth and wealth, always lying in bed, and his spirit is not good, and most of the state affairs in the past few years have been handled by the second prince. ”
"Then since everything has been safe for the past few years, why is your father suddenly angry?"
"I don't know, that time my father dropped one of his most beloved cups, and I couldn't even persuade him, so I was impressed. ”
Dale is just a girl, and the most Prime Minister Philip is to tell her some interesting things, and the real political affairs will not tell her.
Since she didn't know, Flandi had to ask something else.
"Tell me about His Majesty the Emperor, what disease does he have?"
"My father said that it was a disease of wealth, because His Majesty the Emperor was too fat, and after suffering from this disease, he would lose weight very quickly, but he would become unenergetic, and his body would rot everywhere. ”
Flandi was not a doctor, and he did not know what disease His Majesty the Emperor had.
"Since you're sick, why isn't the eldest prince by your side, but let the second prince assist you?"
"Because the eldest prince is not there, my father said that he seems to have gone to some battlefield, and I don't know where the war is, so I never asked. ”
"Battlefield?" Flandy often gets along with the high-ranking personnel of the Oskaia Empire, and of course knows that it has been a long time since the Viton Empire and the Oskaia Emperor had fought a major war.
"Is it the Duk Mahon Battlefield?" asked Franky.
"It sounds familiar, maybe. I don't remember exactly. ”
Flandi was speechless, no way, if Dale was a boy, she might know better, but unfortunately she was a girl.
"Ahh
Flandy's eyes lit up, and he finally heard something valuable from Dale's mouth.
"Are you saying that the eldest prince has returned? and has been made a crown prince? And then I don't know why, the second prince and your father are angry?"
Dale nodded her little head.
Flandi asked, "And not long after, your father died mysteriously?"
Dale nodded her little head again. Then it dawned on him.
"Are you saying that my father's death has something to do with the second prince?"
It seems that the little girl is not stupid, and can associate these things with Flandy's questioning.
"Quite possibly. ”
"But, but why did the second prince harm my father!" Dai'er's eyes moistened a little.
Although there are some vague speculations, I am not sure.
Seeing that Dale was a little sad again, Flandi changed the subject.
"You said that the emperor has four princes, so in addition to the eldest prince on the battlefield of Dukemahon and the second prince who is in the imperial capital, there are two princes, what about them?"
"The third prince died when he was very young, and the fourth prince was a magician, and he was never in the imperial capital, so he liked to travel in the mountains and rivers. ”
"Magician?" said Frandy, surprised.
"Mmmm, the fourth prince is six or seven years older than me, and I also call him brother, he is the only botanical mage in our Viton Empire!"
Flandy was a little surprised: "Plant magician, is the fourth prince named Dennis?"
"Huh, Brother Flandy, how do you know that the fourth prince is called Dennis?"
Dale was a little surprised, she knew that Flandi was from the Oskaia Empire, and he seemed to have a good status, and she didn't know why he recognized Dennis.
"Hahaha, I saw you see him before in that primeval forest between the Vedon Empire and the Oskaia Empire. ”
"Hmm. Dennis's brother likes to run into the forest. ”
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Flandi comforted the little girl and let her live here in peace, and left her room.
Turning and walking a few steps forward, this was the room assigned to Malcoln and Woodlow yesterday, and Brandy knocked on the door a few times, only to see the super strong man Woodlow open the door.
"Benefactor, please come in. Woodlaw saw that it was Flandy and hurriedly invited him in.
The old man, Malken, was also in the house, and when he saw Flandy coming, he stood up and asked Flandy to sit on the bed.
It's a small room, and due to the haste of coming yesterday, there is no furniture or anything, just two beds.
"Thank you benefactor, for Woodlaw is willing to give you faithfulness. The super strong man gave a samurai salute to Flandy, which was supposed to be a salute for the samurai to lose to the winning side when the samurai competed, but it also represented submission.
Flandy picked him up and said, "Woodlow, it doesn't have to be this way, I only saw you there." ”
"There were a lot of people passing by there, but you were the only one who saved us, and thank you for your help," Malken said. ”
"Old man, you really don't have to do this. If you weren't from the former Prime Minister's Office, I probably wouldn't care. ”
"Oh, benefactor, do you know Prime Minister Ferry?"
"Hehe, I don't know, I just wanted to ask you about something. ”
Malken is the butler, and Woodlaw is the guard, both belong to the subordinates, and they don't know much more than Dale.
"Benefactor what you want to ask, tell me directly, as long as we know, we will not hide it. ”
"I want to know the cause of Prime Minister Ferry's death!"
"To tell you the truth, benefactor, after the death of Prime Minister Ferry, many people have been investigating, and several magicians and alchemists have examined the body of the Prime Minister, but nothing unusual has been found. ”
"Oh, have magicians and alchemists checked it?"
This is still unknown to Flandie.
"Yes, His Majesty Mandel did not even send several groups of men to check on the situation, as if the Prime Minister had died suddenly without warning. ”
Flandy knows that with the medical technology of this world, there are still many causes of death that are not clear, such as cerebrovascular diseases and heart diseases. In his capacity as Prime Minister Ferry, it was simply impossible to perform an autopsy on his body.
"Dale said that Prime Minister Fei Rui was very angry once before he died, do you know about this?"
"I know, I know, it was the second prince who came to discuss things with the prime minister, and the two of them quarreled! I was not far away, and I heard them quarreling fiercely. ”
Flandi asked, "Oh, do you know why they're arguing?"
"It's not clear, they were in the study with the door closed, and they could only hear a loud voice, but it wasn't clear what they were saying. ”
"So how is the relationship between the second prince and the eldest prince?"
Malken frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be good." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"After the Great Prince returned from the battlefield of Dukmahon, the Prime Minister suggested that His Majesty Mandel make the Great Prince the crown prince, which will definitely make the Second Emperor very angry. ”
"Oh, the eldest prince has been made the crown prince, or did Prime Minister Fei Rui suggest it?"
Freddy got some more clues.
"Then why do you have to go back to the territory, isn't it good to be in the imperial capital of the Viton Empire?"
"Alas, benefactor, you don't know that since the death of the Prime Minister, the Earl's Court has never been at peace.
Even if the servant went out to buy some ingredients, he would be inexplicably injured, either hit by a carriage, or hit on the head by a stone flying from nowhere, and even if some of the dishes that could be bought back were not good, it was simply difficult to swallow.
Not only that, but when we go to bed at night, some people will throw some rotting corpses such as dead cats and dead dogs into the Earl's Palace, so that we can't live at all. ”
Someone must have been targeting them, and Flandy was almost certainly the second prince.
Even if he was kidnapped by robbers twice, it may have been planned by the second prince.
