Abyshuania, the imperial capital of Verdoria, was surrounded by tall and majestic walls, on which stood guards wearing leather armor and swords at their waists, and guards standing straight in front of the city gates carefully checking the carriages entering the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Abyshuria was bustling with people, shops, neatly paved roads, and aristocratic carriages passing by from time to time.

At the foot of Abyshuria there was a high mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there was a road that was so smooth and wide that even a horse-drawn carriage could pass. On the hill stood a building surrounded by a tall and thick wall, and in front of the door leading to the interior of the building stood several tall and stout guards wearing leather armor and holding spears.

The building enclosed by the walls is the royal palace of the royal capital of Verdoria, and through the guards guarding the gate is the vestibule, the atrium, and the emperor's harem, in addition to the royal guards who patrol the palace, and the knights of the "Royal Order", there are also maids, handymen, grooms who take care of the stables, and gardeners who prune the flowers in the palace garden......

In the study room of the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire, Joxiu, sat on the chair behind the desk, looking at the old man standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

In addition to desks and chairs, there are also bookshelves in the study, on which books are neatly placed, and on the walls are precious paintings.

The flowers placed in the study exuded a good fragrance, and smelling the fragrance of the flowers, Joshua narrowed his eyes as if he was enjoying it.

"The father was really too cautious, although he agreed to start a war against Alcxiu and Cunel, but he actually let the spies who infiltrated Alcreeu have a secret meeting in advance, Alcreeu's Arida Chancellor, and General Luke, so that they agreed to speak to the king of Alcreeu in our envoy's persuasion to surrender. ”

The old man standing in the study was wearing a well-fitting magic robe, with a gray beard, a full head of white hair, his old face was full of wrinkles, and his back was slightly tuo, he did not speak, and listened quietly to the words of Joxiu.

"The father thought that if he could accept Alcreo by persuading him to surrender, he would reduce the losses that would be incurred after the war, and then after receiving Alcreu, Alcreeu would send troops to flank Honel, and even if he wanted to clean up Jacksa later, Alcreeu could send troops to flank him. ”

The smile on the handsome crown prince's face diminished, and he continued: "It's not that I hate cautious approaches, but my father's approach is too boring, and I have a hunch that Kaye Shul will do something, and my father's plan will not succeed." ”

Knocking on the desk, the sound of fingers tapping on the desk rang in the quiet study.

"Between the thrones, the "House of Nobles" those idiots actually dare to question their fathers, those idiots who just squandered the exploits of their ancestors and brought them glory. ”

The silent old man frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart.

The old man Buzz Kevin, the chief magician of the Imperial "Council" and also the title of duke, as he lived for more than a thousand years, he could see at a glance that although Joshua was smiling, the smile on his face was a smirk, and he was also slightly dissatisfied with his declaration of war on Alcreo and Schunel, who were not hostile to him.

There was dissatisfaction in his heart, but after all, Joxiu was the emperor he wanted to serve in the future, and the slight dissatisfaction could only turn into helplessness.

The nobles of the Imperial House of Nobles are a group of nobles composed of the descendants of the followers of the founding emperor of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor of the past dynasties treated the nobles of the noble councillors very favorably, and they were all great nobles with fiefs and had considerable influence in the empire.

Joshua was originally an envoy to Honel, but when he returned, he told His Majesty the Emperor on the throne between the thrones of the palace that he had declared war on Alctheus and Honel.

The scene at that time recalled in the old man's mind, the nobles between the thrones were very puzzled, and of course there were also nobles who bowed their heads and were silent. Joshua made a request for his father's emperor to agree to a war between the two countries, and His Majesty the Emperor, who doted on his son, agreed, but was questioned by the nobles of the House of Nobles.

The reason for the suspicion was that the enemies of the empire were the critics, and they were not hostile to Alcreo and Honel, and there was no reason to go to war.

Bas frowned, and the wrinkles on his face increased. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is dissatisfied with the nobles of the House of Nobles, seems to have the idea of attacking them in his heart.

His Majesty the Emperors of the past dynasties have been too tolerant and preferential to the nobles of the House of Nobles, so that they already have the courage to question the emperor, you must know that the empire is different from other countries, the empire has been centralized since the founding of the first emperor, and the authority of the emperor of the empire is absolute.

His Majesty the Emperor on the throne is not an idiot, he is a very shrewd emperor, and he would agree to the covenant without thinking, also because he knows that there are many nobles in the empire who are eager for war. You must know that because of the infighting, there is no possibility of war between the Empire and the Commentator until the infighting is over.

Wait, there seems to be a misunderstanding in my thinking, and I remember in my mind that I am about to forget, His Majesty the Emperor once muttered to himself the name of his imperial brother, the Grand Duke who was far away in his own principality.

His Majesty the Emperor on the throne is not a brother who loves his younger brother, would he meaninglessly say the name of the imperial brother? A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Bass's eyes widened, and all his thoughts were connected, he finally knew the reason why His Majesty the Emperor on the throne had agreed to Joshua to go to war with Alcreeu and Honel.

The Lord I serve usually has a smile on his face, but is it really worthy of His Majesty the Emperor who can sit on the throne?

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire never seemed to be reassured by his Emperor Orch, if the Empire launched an invasion of both countries at the same time, then a considerable number of troops of the Empire would inevitably be dispatched, and what would Orch react to, and even do?

It's really scary, the crown prince with a deep mind is still a little immature compared to his father, but in the future, he will become the same emperor as his father.

Looking at Buzz's constantly changing expression, Joxiu felt that his empty heart had been filled a little, and it was really pleasant to see such a wonderful expression of Buzz, who was stable and the strongest magician in the empire!

"Dear Duke, if the Empire's war against Alcthius and Honel falls into a protracted war, then if those idiots in the House of Nobles dare to put pressure on their father, you know what to do. ”

The smile on the face of the handsome crown prince turned into a dangerous one.

"The empire doesn't need nobles who question the emperor, and wouldn't those idiots be able to vacate a lot of land if they were disposed of?

Smiling and saying dangerous words, the old Duke Bass subconsciously took a step back, and at this moment he felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting was dangerous in another sense.

"Although if you deal with those nobles, the empire will be affected to some extent, but it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't take long for the empire's national strength to recover. ”

As if he thought her husband's reaction was amused, Joshua resumed his usual smirk.

"The Empire's simultaneous invasion of Alcreo and Cunel will send a considerable number of Imperial troops, don't you think it's worth looking forward to when my uncle, Grand Duke Orchi's reaction and actions come?"

Bas took a deep look at Joshua and retracted his opinion of Joxiu in his heart, it seems that this young crown prince is not inferior to his father at all, has such a deep mind, and can say like a casual chat that the crown prince who attacked the nobles of the noble council, is it really a blessing for the empire after inheriting the throne in the future?

"You won't let me down, Duke, I plan to rely on you in the future when I succeed to the throne. ”

If he was hundreds of years younger, he would be very happy to hear the words of the crown prince, because being relied on by His Majesty the future emperor is the glory of the nobility, but he seems to have lost the sharpness of his youth after living for too long.

"Don't worry, if the nobles of the House of Nobles are really like that, I and the magicians of the Council will settle it. ”

"That's reliable, I trust you. ”

There is no need to continue the conversation at this point, the Empire is already preparing for a war of aggression, the war will come soon, and then I am really looking forward to the performance of Kaye who is far away in Alcreeu, I am really looking forward to it.
