The Imperial Prime Minister, who was temporarily summoned to the palace, Grand Duke Angie Rissa had a bad premonition.

was slapped in the face by that man with a blood flag, and there was only one reason he could think of. But the end of that matter, not only did he deal with it thoroughly, but it has not been discovered for so many years, why is it today?

What worried him even more was the attitude of the emperor. For the elderly emperor and himself who are close to his age, basically the government affairs will be handled in the morning, and they only control the general direction. Naturally, young officials will complete the details, and their own task is to review and check. In other words, this kind of summons near the evening is very abnormal.

If it is an important military event, there is nothing wrong with a temporary summons. But what country around it dares to provoke the Empire? It's been a long time since there has been such a person who doesn't have long eyes. If a king-level demonic beast suddenly appeared on either side, this kind of disaster that might be a disaster, in the eyes of other small countries, may be a disaster, but the empire also has a standard process for handling related affairs, and this level of matter is simply not qualified to be put on the emperor's imperial case.

So...... What will it be for?

Thinking of the consequences of that incident being discovered, Rao is an old fox who has been immersed in politics for a long time, and his cheeks have been cultivated to the thickness of a city wall, and he can't help but feel a splitting headache. In my heart, I hoped that the man would hold the blood flag high for other reasons. The problem was something else that shouldn't justify him doing it.

The automobile industry seems to be huge, but for a grand duke's net worth, it is just the icing on the cake. Even if it's gone, it won't hurt your muscles and bones. I took a lot of things from him, and I didn't see him clinging to them if they were more valuable than the automobile industry. So this shouldn't be a reason for the Blood Flag. That...... Is it to settle some old accounts?

The old man who is lucky is not willing to think in the worst direction. Instead, he kept finding reasons for this old opponent he knew very well, but he was denied by himself one by one.

Before finding the final answer, Angie Risa had already led the palace attendants to the emperor's imperial study. A gentle voice brought his attention back to reality.

When he stepped through the door, it was as if he had come to a different world. In the study at dusk, the servants were lighting up the lights everywhere. However, the emperor sitting behind the imperial case seemed to be shrouded in a haze, with only a pair of eyes that did not look like an old man, staring at the person who entered the door.

The bad premonition in my heart leaned a little bit towards the bad side. The Grand Duke of Risa still said with flawless court etiquette: "Your Majesty, I don't know what is the important task of summoning the ministers here?" ”

One of the big reasons why the old emperor would appreciate him was that there was not much nonsense. So after a brief greeting, Angie Risa went straight to the point and tried to dominate the topic. But a lot of the time, being smart doesn't make a difference. Even though the magic light in the study could illuminate the room as bright as daytime, the shadow that hung over the emperor's face did not dissipate.

"What have you done?" Emperor Almin Cazarnia said in a cold voice. The words seemed to be questioning, but there was no intention of wanting an answer. But this level is enough for Jing Angel Risa to understand that everything is exposed.

Even though he belonged to the sequence of the peak of power in all the kingdoms of the Lost Land, the old duke still had a solemn face and was speechless. Cold sweat broke out on his head and back. I was thinking about how to deal with it, but I was not sure of any of them.

The old emperor didn't seem to think about it, waiting for the person in front of him to respond. He continued to speak coldly: "Speaking of which, I am really old, and my judgment of many things is not as good as before. You'll be glad I smashed everything on the table just now. In retrospect, I should have kept a few of them, and now I can hit you on the head. ”

"Your Majesty......" said Risa Gong dryly.

"I just don't understand, is it worth doing this for a woman?"

Like a broken jar, the old duke shouted out the dissatisfaction that had accumulated for a long time: "Why can he get everyone's favor and affection!" And I did everything I could to support him, but I was still criticized as a despicable villain who hindered and pulled his legs? Including Elena, and the woman who looked like Elena, they were all taken in by their father and son. She was the first thing I fell in love with! Why should I be the one who loses everything? ”

"Oh, that's it. Happy? The old emperor said coldly: "He is just a sword, and you are a person who is qualified to play chess, so you can be jealous of the sword in your hand?" The stupidity you showed made me think I had a high opinion of you before. ”

The cold words made people understand that in the eyes of the old emperor, there was nothing but power. This is the mentality of a person who is really at the peak, but the old duke still has the jealousy of being a human being, which is undoubtedly inferior.

Recognizing the weakness of the person in front of him, Emperor Armin said in a flat voice: "Duke Lisa, I think that in the future, the affairs in your territory will be very busy, so take off the brooch on your chest." I will entrust the responsibility of the empire to others. You just concentrate on your own troubles. ”

When the old duke heard this, he gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to give up on me and choose that person?" ”

"No, I've always made the right choice because I've always been on the winning side. After all, only those who survive can continue to help me, right? So before you go, remember to leave the brooch behind. The old emperor lightly tapped his finger on the imperial case, and then waved his hand, making the intention of leaving quite clear. At the same time, he beckoned the attendants who had brought the clerical utensils to come forward and rearrange the table.

"Isn't the pursuit of power just to satisfy one's own desires? It's just that your desire is power itself, and compared to me, how noble is it! The old duke snapped.

"Oh." For the person in front of him to change the humble attitude of the past, the old emperor showed an interesting gaze as if he had discovered something new. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he sneered.

And the old duke, who said what was in his heart, continued to criticize without any scruples: "You said that you didn't choose anyone, but if you don't help me, doesn't it mean that you have made a choice between me and that person." One side is an invincible commander, and the other side is a conspirator who only knows how to play tricks. ”

"Do you think so. So before today, you suppressed that old thing from Ricardo all the way, and even kicked him out of the court, did I stop you? ”

"Don't think too much about how clever you are at playing with power. There is no bottom, even the demon dares to enter the harem, and gave birth to that big trouble, which is relatively strong? ”

"First of all, I want to state that the imperial princess you speak of is a succubus, not a demon. Besides, that son is my most proud masterpiece. Look at none of you who can help him, can you say that my son is not good. If you can only play the chess pieces in your hand, then I can only say that it is a joke to regard you as my mentor and friend in this life. Leave, my old friend. You'll have to figure out how to get through the rest of the level yourself before you're qualified to stand here and talk to me. Until then, it's all redundant. ”
