Snow Moon Collar.

"Franz, you did a good job on this trip to the imperial capital. The situation is unclear, and it is the best policy to protect yourself first!

As for His Majesty's situation, most of it is calculated. There are only three people who can calculate him in the palace.

It is impossible for the queen to make a move against His Majesty, so the only ones who can hide from the guards and secretly attack His Majesty are Alpha I and Princess Madeleine.

This is the price of its own lack of strength!

If Caesar IV was also a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, these little tricks were all jokes.

Several of you must take this as a warning, no matter how high and powerful you are, this world is a world of the strong after all. ”

used the emperor as a negative teaching material, in order to shape the strong hearts of his sons, Hudson also fought hard.

The current Coslow family, as long as they don't toss around, is one of the top nobles in the mainland.

The situation of the royal family is similar, and the family background is much thicker. It's a pity that there are too many hidden dangers inside, and Caesar IV is not skilled enough to control the scene.

When Alpha I revealed his ambition to usurp power, he should have taken action as soon as possible and killed this guy directly.

Even if he missed the first time, there were several opportunities to make a move in the middle, all of which were missed by Caesar IV.

It's easier to deal with Princess Madeleine, just throw it out of a fiefdom, and the matter will be settled.

For example, throw it to the side of the Coslow family and arrange a semi-enclosed territory.

It can not only balance him, the marshal of the Terrans, but also restrict Princess Madeleine from becoming bigger, killing two birds with one stone.

I don't know if it's because my brain is not enough, or if my self-confidence is bursting, I dare to put two hidden dangers under my nose.

If it doesn't happen, it's the biggest accident.

"Father, you can rest assured, we will work hard to cultivate!

It's just the situation in the empire, how do you think it will develop next? ”

After making assurances on behalf of his younger brothers, Franz asked with concern.

"Rest assured, the situation in the empire will not get out of control. Whoever did it, their goal was only to seize power.

But the court is going to shuffle the cards!

The fact that conservatives are in power alone has already caused discontent on all sides. It is estimated that there are many people who will wait for the opportunity to take action against the six ministers and let His Majesty take the blame.

In addition to these two in the court, the emerging aristocracy, the real power in the royal family, and even other large families within the conservative faction are likely to wait for an opportunity to make a move.

They've got in the way of too many people, and if it weren't for the fact that your brothers were too young to hold power in the court, maybe the Coslow family would have done something to them! ”

Hudson's answer directly startled the sons. Politics is also too terrible, and the six ministers in charge of the court actually have so many people who want them to die.

In times of peace, the court is a battleground. Everyone is fighting not only for a position, but also for the right to speak in the empire.

It was a very dangerous thing for the great nobles to stay away from the center of power for a long time.

In the past, the situation in the court was stable, and everyone did not dare to act rashly. Now Caesar IV is out of control and suddenly overturns the table, giving everyone an opportunity to take advantage of.

After succeeding, the basin was buttoned on the emperor's head. If all goes well, he can also wait for the opportunity to coerce Caesar IV into abdicating and replacing him with a young lord who is not a threat.

Under normal circumstances, royalty should step up to prevent this from happening. It's a pity that there are two careerists in the royal family at this time, and there is a direct internal division.

Hudson did not think that Princess Madeleine and Alpha I had no supporters within the royal family.

In the event of Caesar IV's abdication, it is likely that the two will become auxiliary ministers in place of the young lord in political affairs.

"Father, what about Your Majesty, is there no one to ......?"

Before Franz could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted directly: "Remember, the world of nobility is always determined by status.

Your Majesty's personality has changed suddenly, you can see that something is wrong, didn't the old foxes in the court notice it?

None of them coveted this saving effort, and there were only two possibilities: either it was beyond their capabilities, or it was contrary to their own interests.

Wait, the nobles loyal to His Majesty will act soon.

Judging from the information gathered so far, His Majesty has not completely lost his mind. If he didn't ask us for help in the first place, it only proves that I am also within his suspicions.

After all, I have all of them now, both in terms of ability and motivation! ”

The merit is high and the lord is inevitably suspicious.

In the eyes of the outside world, Caesar IV had an accident, and Hudson's suspicion was definitely at the top of the list. At this time, if you go up to the top, you will definitely get into trouble.

Even if he solved the trouble for Caesar IV, the suspicion he faced would not diminish in the slightest, which was the instinct of a monarch.

From the standpoint of the Coslow family, it is undoubtedly more in the interests of their own family to change the young master.

Unless the royal family still trusts him and comes to the door for help, he will not get involved.

……

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The six ministers, who had just left the palace, were attacked by Assassins on their way back.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to meet the battle, and the nearby city guards arrived at the scene as soon as they received the news.

With the hard work of the crowd, the Assassins were quickly repulsed. As the city guards were preparing to hunt down the remnants of the Assassins, Becktress in the carriage immediately ordered: "No need to chase, they won't live long!"

Escort me back to the mansion first. The road ahead is not always smooth. ”

Escorted by the city guards, the convoy set off again. The atmosphere of slaughter, as the convoy advanced, continued to spread to the outside world.

"The situation has changed, the plan is cancelled!"

"The situation has changed, the plan is cancelled!"

……

Seeing a large number of city guards traveling with them, and realizing that the opportunity had been lost, the Assassins who had been ambushed in the buildings on both sides chose to retreat one after another.

This scene made Alpha I, who was hiding in the clouds and watching, very disappointed.

From the first wave of assassinations to the arrival of the city guards, the connection was completely seamless, and it was obvious that there was preparation in advance.

The power of the Assassins lies in the fact that they are taken by surprise, and the enemy is on guard, and if they continue to attack, they will turn from assassination to assault, and no experienced group of Assassins will do such stupid things.

Unless Alpha I personally intervenes, Prime Minister Beckett will not be left today. There is no doubt that he would not do such a stupid thing.

There are many sergeants and guards below, and once the fight starts, there will definitely be traces on the scene.

Even if all parties were willing to let Caesar IV take the blame, they would not let him go as an assassin. The conservative camp retaliated, but it didn't care who he was.

……

Similar assassinations were constantly staged in the imperial capital. However, without exception, all assassination attempts ended in failure when the six ministers were prepared in advance.

The assassination failed, but the situation in the imperial capital became tense. The city guards directly blocked the city gate to arrest the murderer, opening the mode of allowing entry and exit.

If something is slightly wrong, I will be arrested directly, and the cell will be overcrowded for a while.

The small and medium-sized nobles who were stranded in the imperial capital to watch the situation could only secretly regret at this moment. I thought I could wait for the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, but I never expected that the struggle at the top would be so fierce.

The emperor's detention of the six ministers was already very explosive news, and there was a scandal of the collective assassination of the six ministers.

Looking at the entire history of mankind, there are only a handful of political events that can be compared.

The occurrence of the assassination case directly put the camp disputes hidden in the shadows on the table at once.

Emerald Palace.

Caesar IV, who received the news, was stunned on the spot.

In the process of detaining the six ministers, his people were not idle.

The files of the conservative administration were directly extracted, and the "spears" suitable for launching attacks were selected from them.

The edicts for the dismissal of the six ministers had been drafted and were about to be sent out, but this happened.

As the emperor, he actually became the biggest suspect.

The emperor sent someone to assassinate the minister, and if this crime is confirmed, it will be a strange story for the ages.

Caesar IV's changes could not be concealed from the pillow people, and after realizing that something was wrong, the queen hurriedly asked for help from the holy domain powerhouses in the royal family.

With the exception of Alpha I, all the powerhouses of the royal family gathered.

They can ignore the political struggle, but directly attack the emperor, which breaks through the bottom line.

"It looks like the power of a curse, and it seems to be deliberately amplifying emotional desires.

If you want to gather a group of high-ranking priests before the gods fall, you can also join forces to expel them.

Now in this case, it's a big trouble! ”

Venerable Taryn said with a frown.

As a former archbishop, he has been exposed to many curses, but this is the first time he has encountered such a difficult one.

His instincts told him that it wasn't like something that should be on earth.

"Ancestor, maybe you can gather a group of light magicians and join forces to cast the Great Purification Technique of the Forbidden Spell.

If it's convenient, it's better to bring Marshal Hudson over and have a look.

As the number one magic potion master in the mainland, he may be able to save the life of the imperial brother. ”

Madeleine openly proposed.

It's not okay not to be active, now that she's the sister of Caesar IV, then she has to do something that matches her identity.

She was the only one of them who knew the curse of the god of desire, and knew very well how difficult it was.

In the early stage, it can be expelled, but the further it goes, the easier it is to get out of control.

If you can't expel it, a scene like a fainting will happen more often in the future.

Essentially, this curse kills people by amplifying emotional desires.

The advice given is a solution, but only theoretically.

Fortunately, the god of desire has fallen, otherwise Caesar IV would have almost confessed the moment he suffered the curse.

Of course, while the God of Desire was alive, no one could bring out the cursed power of his guardian kingdom.

"Gong Xiang, immediately activate the magic array and send a message to Marshal Hudson, be sure to ask him to come over!

In addition, the speed of summoning high-level light mages in the empire must be fast. ”

The queen on the side immediately ordered.

As an exemplary couple in the monarchy's circle, she had a very good relationship with Caesar IV.

For her and the little prince, if Caesar IV had an accident, her sky would fall.

The major factions will happily put her son on the throne, but the real power or something can be counted on, and who can expect a child of a few years old to handle government affairs.

With the special national conditions of the Alpha Kingdom, once the emperor is overthrown, it will be difficult to regain power.

Caesar IV was not completely elevated, and life was quite hard.

"Empress, the six ministers were assassinated as soon as they left the palace, and they will definitely launch a counterattack.

While they haven't started yet, pass on the news of His Majesty's curse to eliminate the impact of the coup farce in front of them, and don't give them a chance to attack! ”

The Newfoundland Grande on the periphery proposed.

After all, he is a person who has been prime minister, and he still has the sensitivity to political struggle.

From the perspective of the royal family, the fall of Caesar IV at this moment is also their best means of defusing the crisis.

All the blame was pushed to the curse, and the six ministers who had been wronged could not continue to investigate.

The emperor lying on the hospital bed is the best explanation in itself.

As for the estrangement that has arisen, it will only take time to repair it. As long as this kind of thing happens, it is impossible to return to the same state in a short period of time.

"Just do what the Grand Duke wants!"

The queen replied in a panic.

Politics, she has always been very little involved.

Now she is suddenly asked to make a decision, which in itself is embarrassing.

However, according to the rules, in the event of an accident with the emperor, the empress can obtain the power of temporary regent.

If you don't want this part of the power to be lost, the empress must go up on behalf of the emperor.

……

The news spread, and the imperial capital boiled again.

First the six ministers were assassinated, and now there is news that the emperor has been cursed and plotted, and the nobles are enraged.

Within a few days of the establishment of the Alpha Empire, one after another accidents occurred, and it was impossible to have no black hand behind it.

For a while, all major forces were tracking down the black hand, lest they be accidentally calculated.

In an uproar, Hudson, who had been invited, quietly entered the palace.

In order to avoid suspicion, he couldn't take the initiative to get involved, but if he was invited by the royal family, the situation would be diametrically opposite.

As a courtier, you must not sit idly by and watch your feudal lord have an accident.

After a brief understanding of the situation, Hudson appeared at the bedside of Caesar IV.

"Your Majesty's physical condition is very bad, a temporary coma is the best choice, and once you wake up, I am afraid that you will lose control of your emotions again.

I can configure some magic potions to help His Majesty regulate his body, but there is still nothing I can do to expel the curse! ”

Hudson said with a pretended sadness.

The way to expel the curse, he didn't think of it, but it was risky to operate.

A little carelessly, while expelling the curse, he also took Caesar IV away.

Hudson could not afford the responsibility for the failure of treatment, let alone others.

High-risk treatment methods can only be proposed by people from the royal family.

"Marshal, you should be able to refine the law of fate and temporarily seal the curse, right?"

Hearing Madeleine's question, Hudson frowned and said reluctantly:

"It's true that you can temporarily seal the curse, but the more ruthlessly this thing is suppressed, the more powerful it will be when it explodes.

The main reason is that it has dragged on for too long, and if it had been a few days earlier, it would have been reluctantly evicted.

Forcibly seal the curse now, and when it breaks out again in the future, it will be fatal!

With His Majesty's current condition, I can at most help him suppress the curse for a few months, and there is nothing I can do about it if it breaks out again.

His Highness is well versed in the law of doom, and has studied a lot of curses, but there is a solution? ”

A wave of mutual revelations, everyone's eyes focused on the Archduke of Madeleine.

The name of "Doom Girl" is like thunder. Under normal circumstances, Caesar IV was cursed and plotted, and she should have found out as soon as possible.

"The curse in the Imperial Brother is suspected to be a curse left by the God of Desire. It is not visible at the beginning, and it will only be revealed after it begins to erupt.

Judging from the symptoms, the imperial brother was not cursed for the first time, but someone brought the power of the curse through the medium.

The power has been weakened a lot, and it can be expelled by the Great Purification Technique. It's just that now the priest can't play a role, and can only rely on the light mage instead, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Even if the banishment of the curse is successful, Shouyuan will be drastically reduced. I'm afraid it's hard to survive for three years, and maybe even a year! ”

Madeleine said calmly.

She did have her own calculations, but Caesar IV was not her plot, and now she has a complete conscience.

"I can't wait, the power of the curse is spreading, I'm afraid I can't wait for the mage group to arrive.

Marshal Hudson, the two of us working together to drive the Scepter of Glory and expand the power of the forbidden curse as much as possible, should be able to expel the curse. ”

As he spoke, Venerable Tyran directly took out the Scepter of Glory.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly retreated to make space. The queen, who lost the ability to think, also left the hospital bed.

After a moment's hesitation, Hudson took out a vial of life-saving potion and stepped forward and poured it into Caesar IV's mouth.

The originally pale face soon appeared a hint of redness. The outside world only thought that the potion had played a role, but in fact, it was Hudson who took part of the curse and entered the compass.

"Now it's time to go!"

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light filled the room. A peaceful light fell on Caesar IV and then began to wander around, soon covering the whole body.

Caesar IV, who was the one who was healed, began to decline rapidly. When the forbidden spell was released, the whole person was twenty years old.

"The curse expulsion was successful, and Your Majesty will wake up in a moment. The next thing is to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise there will be another accident in the future......"

After saying that, Hudson stepped aside.

Caesar IV had an accident in the palace, and it was difficult for outsiders to put their hands in, and it was basically certain that it was the inner ghosts, and the culprits behind the scenes could only be traced by the royal family.
