The news of the Imperial Army's victory over the rebels reached the central capital, but while everyone in the central capital was rejoicing in the victory, one person was in trouble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Klopt was thinking, and the heavy atmosphere continued to dominate him, and what appeared on the emperor's face was a stiff, as if stuffed with a coptis expression.

None of the servants dared to disturb him, and they all knew what would happen to them if they disturbed the emperor at this time. Klopt was not without such a situation, and the last time he was like this was when the previous archbishop wanted to depose him.

The result of the deposition was naturally a failure, and the latter was finally executed for treason by the scheming Klopt, although he was not very good at governing the country, but Klopt was extremely good at political struggles, and how to calculate the enemy skillfully was the magic weapon that Klopt learned to win in the long power struggle.

It is indeed not easy to be an emperor, an incompetent emperor will make his subordinates lose confidence, and if his head of state is strong, he can bring a sense of security to the people. Fortunately, Klopt still has the means to make the people confident in himself, but he has not been able to give his people any substantial benefits, but now that there are people who can give all kinds of benefits to the people, what kind of feelings will the subjects of the empire have for themselves?

Klopt looked at his bloody hand, which had been clenched by himself, and Vis Stirling, who had risen to the rank of general in such a short time after the magic had disappeared, had won the hearts and minds of a large number of people with his political skill. There is no doubt that he will threaten the existence of his throne. Depending on the situation, he may also force himself out of office.

No, it's not over yet, not yet, a decisive defeat.

Now that his think tank is dead due to Count Mel's rebellion, he can only rely on himself to formulate a plan.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Klopt's mind, can the man who rose up immediately after the magic disappear really make people not suspect that he has something to do with the magic disappearing?

A sinister smile appeared on Klopt's face, the one befitting that had been the emperor for many years.

After making up his mind, Klopt's tense nerves in his body finally relaxed.

I don't know if I was waiting for that slightly ironic smile, a bald middle-aged man appeared in front of Klopt's eyes with a smile that didn't look like a pretend.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. The middle-aged man knelt down.

"No courtesy. ”

"I wonder why His Majesty summoned his subordinates here?"

"Hahaha, Baoerhou, you've all arrived here, are you still pretending not to know?"

"Oh, since your Majesty said so, there is only one possibility, and it was because of Vis Stirling that I was summoned, right?"

"Yes, can you really tolerate such a lowly-born fellow being on the same level as you?"

"Naturally, my subordinates can't tolerate it, but depending on what Your Majesty means, I'm afraid he will not only be at the same level as me, right?"

"Yes, because of the victory in this battle, his becoming a marshal is already a foregone conclusion. ”

"Then Your Majesty, the purpose of your summoning me is to deal with him?"

"Yes, I'm not sure I'm sorry," the Emperor lowered his voice suddenly, "I'm afraid that Vis is behind the disappearance of magic, right?"

Indeed, judging by his actions after the magic disappeared, it was hard to imagine that he really had nothing to do with the magic disappearing. ”

"So, now I want you to secretly investigate his suspicions. The Emperor said with a wicked smile.

Marquis Paul, who read the emperor's true meaning from that smile, smiled slightly, the so-called investigation is just in name, in fact, what his master wants to do by himself is not an investigation, but a blame, even if Weiss didn't do it, he must make everyone feel that it was he who made the magic disappear.

"Obey the order, the subordinates will start the investigation, and when the empire has gained a firm foothold with his strength, they will take him down in one fell swoop. ”

Klopt, who was very satisfied with Paul's answer, nodded.

"Don't let him find out you're investigating him," the Emperor advised, "that man is a formidable character, a rare strategist whose every step counts, and if he becomes hostile to you, you yourself may not know how you died." ”

"Thank you for your trouble, your subordinates must be careful. ”

"Well, step aside. ”

"Your Majesty, can you allow your subordinates to take the liberty of asking?"

"Say it. ”

"Next, Your Majesty, are you going to hold a celebration banquet for him?"

"And rightfully so?"

Paul's expression changed in that moment, and the cyan and purple faces alternated on his face, and it was a long time before Paulhou returned to his normal state, which was a manifestation of his inner vanity, jealousy, and the thoughts that seemed to knock over the five-flavor bottle.

"Understood, my subordinates will try to be patient here. ”

"Yes, please. "The Emperor knew that Paul was a very tolerant person, and he did not think that Paul would lose his mind just because Weiss was above him for a while.

There are too few people who can use it. It was only after Paulhou's departure that Klopt understood this fact. Originally, the empire focused on magical talents, and its own think tank was slaughtered in the mutiny.

"It's time to promote a new think tank," the emperor said, thinking about new questions.

"These people who have been promoted as a new think tank are to hate Weiss as much as Paul, they will not tolerate the existence of anti-water, and now, the enemy of the empire is not the rebel army, but the man who is getting higher and higher. Although he said that Weiss was an enemy of the empire, he couldn't deny the fact that without Weiss, the empire would have perished by now.

"That's it, I'm afraid that the Emperor is going to start dealing with us with the false accusation that we are the culprits responsible for the disappearance of magic, and if he is a little more stupid, there may be a possibility of unpredictable action. But that chance is quite low, after all, the emperor is not a fool, but an existence who likes to show off his cleverness. ”

On the way back to the city, holding up a finger, Weiss said, he did not have even the slightest trace of loyalty to Klopt.

"So what are we going to do?" said Visser in a somewhat speechless tone, apparently having lost the last of her faith in the Emperor.

"Let it be, even if the emperor wants to bring me down, it can't be now, if I fall at this time, the empire will probably perish immediately, and the emperor can't think of this. ”

"......" Weiser fell silent.

"Alright, have some confidence in your master, that kind of trick will not stump me, now let's enjoy the celebration feast. As he spoke, Ves's expression became excited, like a child seeing a birthday cake.

Weiser smiled bitterly, she believed in her master's strength, but she was still worried that her master would be defeated because of carelessness. In a worried thought, Weiser followed the army back to the central capital without saying a word.
