Chapter 64: The Palace's Strategy
It wasn't until they ran out of the Earl's Mansion that the murderous aura that shrouded the two of them gradually dissipated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info panted, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Marella apparently forbade Anthrite from going out. After all, the danger outside is unpredictable, and she needs to stay with the six-pointed star to be safest. Padpitt apparently knew this, so he ran out of the gate with Eric like crazy.
Eric wondered, and he became more and more curious about the magical family of Pelos. In this way, I am afraid that the heir of Pyros will not be killed by the Assassins from all over the country, and he will die at the hands of his sister first.
"Why are you so scared of your sister...... It's clear that the heir is you. He asked Papitt.
Papitt clearly didn't want to answer the question. "You'll get to know it slowly. Okay, don't think about that, it's important to solve the case now. ”
The young master forcibly changed the subject.
......
At this moment, in the palace of Odin.
Inside a private office.
Queen Elizabeth, who is over middle age, has grown silver threads on her head, and the wrinkles on her face are gradually becoming prominent. But these still can't hide the compelling heroism between her eyebrows.
"So the suspect hasn't been caught yet?"
Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and she questioned the man not far away.
"Yes. But I've assigned the case to Edith, the detective who solved the Ode tragedy. I believe that he will have results soon. Locke, the commissioner of the Santos Police Department, clasped his hands in front of him and reported the matter with humility.
Elizabeth was sitting in a chair with a back behind her desk. Unlike when she met the minister in the main hall, she was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, and she seemed to exude a unique smart temperament.
"Locke, you see, we can't put all our expectations on him. Unlike the last 'gardener', this time the missing people have civilians, which is undoubtedly a disruptive to Oude's stability. If he can't solve the case within the allotted time, I'll have to trouble those guys. Although such trifles will make them angry...... But civilians are our most precious asset, and we cannot allow them to live in fear. ”
As a king, it is his duty to defend his people. Locke revered such a monarch.
"Understood, I'll get Edith to solve the case as soon as possible. Try not to trouble those adults. He replied respectfully.
"I'm sure you won't let me down. Okay, you're good to go. The queen waved her hand.
Locke saluted, stepped back to the door, and opened the door softly to leave. But the door wasn't closed, and one of the guards stepped in.
He reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Char Knight of the City Defense Army has asked to see you. ”
What an eventful time.
The queen frowned: "Let him in." ”
The guards who heard the order exited the room, and a burly figure walked in. "See Her Majesty. Char, the knight, took his helmet at his side and bowed Elizabeth on one knee.
"No need to be polite. But now that you're here, Char, you must have some bad news for me. ”
"Not badly, my Majesty. My men reported to me not long ago that Jusis had arrived in the Holy Capital with the heirs of Pelos. Char stood up and said word by word.
When the queen heard the news, she was not surprised: "After all, the son of the Duke of Pelos has just come of age this year, and it is normal for him to come to take the succession exam. However, looking at this gnashing of teeth, I'm afraid I can't wait to beat up your ex-boss right now. ”
When Char heard this, he hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing." But as soon as he heard the news, he came to the palace to report it to you. As for dealing with that traitor, there are more opportunities in the future. ”
"Actually, you should be grateful to him, if he hadn't left the Holy Capital to join Pelos, you wouldn't have taken charge of the city defenses in his place, and naturally you wouldn't have become one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. Elizabeth said lightly.
I only heard Char hurriedly say: "This is all Your Majesty's weight on me, and it has nothing to do with that traitor." ”
The queen suddenly looked at Char with a straight face: "It's good that you know." You can't do anything to Jusis this time. After all, whether it was for the royal family or the Pyros family, he was nominally serving the Empire. You can't let the House of Lords get the talk. ”
"That's nature," Char replied.
The queen continued, "Don't forget that our main target is the son of Duke Pelos. Generations of kings have not fulfilled their ambition to reclaim the autonomy of Pelos, and I hope it will be fulfilled in my generation.
Now, I officially inform you, Char. This time, the heir exam will be supervised by you, who are in charge of the city's defenses. So, we're going to have to figure out a way to mess up Primus Boy's exam. ”
Char was already sweating profusely at this time, and if he heard correctly, His Majesty seemed to want him to find a way to solve the eternal problems of the Holy Capital.
The queen saw Char's embarrassment and sighed. There is no way, who made Char become a general by virtue of martial arts, and it is simply difficult for him to give advice.
"Don't worry, I'll have the Empire's best strategists come and advise you, you just need to implement it. ”
There is only one person who can be called the best adviser of the Empire.
"Come out, Cavihill. She suddenly zoomed up.
Char was startled and turned his head to look to the side, only to hear footsteps behind another door in the office.
Char had rarely been summoned alone by the Queen before. He had only heard that in Her Majesty's private office, there was an ensuite. The Empire's Prime Minister, Cavishir, was usually in this suite, listening to the queen's deliberations with the other courtiers. At the end of each meeting, the Prime Minister will come out to expound his opinion and give advice to His Majesty.
It's a treat that no one else has ever had. This represents Her Majesty's immense trust in that Lord, and at the same time, it is also the power of Prime Minister Carvehill under 10,000 people.
And now, Char seems to be sharing this honor as well.
Soon, the side door opened completely, and an old man stepped out. His beard and hair were gray, but they were neatly combed. It can be seen that he pays great attention to his image on weekdays.
Char hurriedly saluted. He had only met the Prime Minister a few times before at some holy great ceremonies, and he had never been so close to each other.
Prime Minister Cavishir also returned the salute, without any big swag.
"What do you think, Secretary Cavihill?" the queen asked.
The old man stroked his long beard, as if he had already made up his mind: "The current problem is actually focused on how to make Papit, the heir of Pelos, fail the exam. If he fails the exam, he loses the right to inherit his father's title. Then the next Duke of Pelos will never appear. Naturally, the city of Pelos will return to the rule of the royal family. ”
"Wait," Char's brainless mind suddenly thought of something, "We can do it once and for all?" As far as I know, Duke Pelos also has a daughter, and in the laws of the Empire, the daughter also has the right to inherit. "For him, being able to ask questions means that he really thinks very hard.
Her Majesty is pleased with this.
Faced with a question, Cavihill replied, "Indeed, the Duke has a daughter. But if even a man can't pass the heir martial arts exam, how can the eldest lady who is physically weak pass it. Taking a step back, even if the duke's daughter did come to take the exam in a few years, it would only be more difficult to take the exam at that time. ”
Char nodded repeatedly, he thought that the Prime Minister was witty and wise.
"As for the specific method, I think it is necessary to start with the examination project. ”
"Oh?" the queen looked at Cavihill with interest.
"We have always followed the tradition of using swordsmanship, which is compulsory for the nobility, as our examination program. But now it's the age of rampant guns. Therefore, our exams must also keep pace with the times. Change to shooting!"
"Shooting?" Char was at a loss when he heard this. He was a knight, and although he could fight enemies with guns, he knew nothing about shooting himself.
"Yes, shoot. Imagine, the heir of the Pyros family must have been practicing swordsmanship hard to cope with the exam, but in the end, he learned that the exam item was a frustrated expression when he was shooting. ”
Cavishir is indeed worthy of the imperial brains. What a poisonous ploy.
"It's funny to think about. Queen Elizabeth agreed.
