Belmar, the royal capital of the United Kingdom. (A kingdom of dozens of autonomous communities, also known as the Duchy of Belmar.) ）

Located in the center of the royal capital, the royal city of Mosaka, more than 40 square minarets with round seats built at equal intervals form a square geometry, and the minarets are connected by city walls. The Krim Palace is at the heart of it.

There is a very ornate and almost extravagant room in the palace, which is the place where the queen meets with many nobles and important ministers and holds court meetings.

Among them is also the voice of Duke Lacey Thales*. He was reporting to Queen Heatriath Thales on the throne on what had happened in the Quarter of the Greatlands. (There are seven special districts, including Lilan, which are the territories of the Thales family to the royal family.) ）

The queen seemed to be even more haggard at this moment.

This is how Lacey compares to his sister, Queen Hesteria, to the last time they met.

As a man in the royal family, he couldn't share a single burden for his sister, which made Lacey feel very ashamed. (The Belmar royal family has always been a woman to inherit the throne, and by the time of Hesteria she was already the seventh queen.) ）

Lacey understands that he can grow up peacefully and become this duke because of his sister's blessing. You must know that the all-out competition between the royal families of the past generations is the most brutal.

As the most beloved grandson of the previous queen, Lacey is undoubtedly the happiest, but also the most unfortunate. first experienced the assassination of his parents, and then he also grew up in a constant assassination. Until Histeria succeeded to the throne, the assassination of Lacey within the royal family never stopped.

He reigned for thirty-seven years, and now he is fifty-seven years old. It was almost time for the throne to be given to the heir, but at this time, there was a disappearance of the traveling princess, Ximena, and her guards.

It doesn't have to be Ximena. Although Ximena, as the eldest daughter, is the best, several other members of the royal family are also established by Jiwei. It's just that if he gives way like this, Belmar may really become a puppet kingdom of another country.

The old man let out a weak voice, "Lei Qing, as my royal brother, you have done a very good job, and you have worked hard." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Lacey bowed deeply and responded. He was ashamed of his powerlessness.

"Hmph! There have been incidents of robbers breaking into and killing people in my own jurisdiction, and now I haven't even touched the shadow of the murderer. Sister Wang really loves this younger brother!"

On the side, Alma, as the prince, said very dissatisfied. (Alma sent a report from his men who received the Imperial pursuers, both of whom were dead.) ）

"Didn't Brother Wang belong to Disiot, also robbed important criminals after being captured by a mysterious person, but there was no news?"

"You ......!" said Prince Alma, unable to find a reason for his explanation.

"Also, although we have concluded a non-aggression pact with Ayametris, everyone here knows that the Empire has always coveted our land, so why did you rashly invite members of the Empire's special pursuit force to enter the country?"

"It's not that I want to catch the prison robbery felons quickly," Alma felt gritted his teeth at the mention of Disliot, which was the place he had been operating for many years, and the thing that the empire gave him was even more enriching his experimental data.

But......

"Our heavy troops are all deployed on the border lands of various places, and the only garrison corps that maintains law and order can't even solve the cases in their own territories, can I count on them?"

When Alma exonerated herself, she still did not forget to hit Lacey.

"I heard that the commander of the garrison corps was also removed from his post because of what happened last time, which is really bad. Sister Wang, I don't think Lacey has the ability to lead the legion. It should be considered, a change of leader. ”

Alma said, looking at the young man closest to her, and continued, "I suggest that Hecarim take over. With his intelligence, it is believed that it is also a matter of time to find Ximena's niece. ”

When he fell in love with Queen Sisteria on the throne, Alma deliberately put the word "Ximena" very seriously. He's threatening Heatria, telling the queen that if he doesn't take his advice, his only daughter might be in trouble.

But.......

Heatheria frowned, her face turned ugly, and she didn't speak for a long time. It seems that there is a violent struggle in the heart.

The existing army of the Principality of Belmar is controlled by the royal family at 30%, the nobles at 30%, and the nobles from other places at 40%.

On one side is the pro-king faction, and on the other side is the great aristocratic faction that includes the six nobles of the principality. In the current situation, the six nobles are one-sided, and the main armies within the principality are controlled by them.

Most of the pro-king faction are ministers such as prime ministers, and the only one who can handle it is the garrison corps under Reis. Although the garrison corps has only one corps on the surface, in fact its establishment has long exceeded that of a full corps. Moreover, the garrison corps was mainly aimed at people. This was also feared by the great aristocratic faction led by Alma.

Histeria looked up to the Hekarim mentioned by Alma.

The one in front of him has all his blonde hair tied behind his back, and he has a pair of slender blue eyes. The complexion is as pale as the one that has not been exposed to the sun, and the slender body makes people feel more like a poisonous snake.

He should be about thirty years old, but his unhealthy complexion makes him look very old.

Heatheria vaguely remembered that he was one of the six nobles, and his own brother, the only son of Prince Raven.

Hecarim was taught by his father that for his own benefit, he would curry favor with both sides.

Sisteria thought to herself, if he betrayed his country, this kind of guy would definitely be one, right?

"In this matter, I still need to think about it, the sudden change of the chief officer of the legion will cause panic. ”

The queen on the throne let out a hoarse voice like a sigh.

"Hmm...... Since Your Majesty has said so, I reserve my opinion......"

Alma retorted unexpectedly, and the other nobles temporarily put away their sneering faces.

Reis breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Sister Wang on the throne, and sent a look full of tenderness.

The queen, who felt Lacey's eyes, also nodded lightly at him.

Restana looked at the man who had regained her human form and asked cautiously, "Class senior, have you gained anything?"

Ban, with his eyes closed, made a "huh?" sound, and his long tongue licked the exaggerated mouth in the mouth that had not yet been fully closed.

The moment the giant mouth closed, Ben suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the location of Cunningham, Xue Ni and the others on the third floor with a smile.

"What a big surprise!"
