In the study...... Scold me?

The second prince was a little inexplicable for a while.

Knowing that you have no power to return to the sky, you can only be impotent and furious? That's too uncompromising, isn't it?

Don't even want the decency of the royal family?

"Humph! What stupid brothers......"

The second prince snorted disdainfully, and his evaluation of the two of them was a few points lower.

"I thought that deliberately provoking the eighth guy and prompting the two to join forces would bring me a little surprise, but now it seems that I really look up to them."

"Your Highness, then we will clear the plan of the two princes in advance......"

"Let's put it aside for the time being, if the other party doesn't take the lead, our division is unknown, and at this time, there is no need to completely anger the one above for the sake of these two wastes.

Anyway, they can't escape the palm of my hand. The second prince sneered.

He picked up the glass again and shook it, his eyes deepening. "It's the ninth brother, who has been jumping up and down lately."

The Nine Emperors have been making frequent moves recently, and they have also taken over a large number of connections and resources controlled by the emperor, and it is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor intends to abolish the elders and establish young, and pass on the throne to the Nine Emperors.

Many nobles gathered in the past when they heard the news, but they were also quite powerful, as if they were the fourth largest faction after the second, fourth and eighth princes, and became a dark horse competing for the throne.

"But it's only now that you're going to enter, don't you think it's too late? Father, he seems to be delirious and confused......"

Drinking all the wine in the cup, a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the second prince.

"Pass my order, take Lao Jiu first, kill the chickens and make an example!"

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

……

And just when the imperial capital was changing, the Iron Wall Fleet finally returned to the direct territory of the Grand Duke of Houghton after a long journey of nearly 3 months.

"Have you cleaned all the tails?"

Viscount Tiebi put down the communicator in his hand and asked as he put on the commander's combat uniform.

"Yes, Lord Viscount, the Chamber of Secrets has been thoroughly cleaned to ensure that not a single cell or DNA is left." The adjutant sweated profusely on his head.

killed a second prince's secret guard, and completely evaporated him from the world.

It's not a heartbeat, it's a life!

Although he didn't know what Viscount Tiebi was torturing the other party, his intuition told him...... It's dangerous, it's dangerous!

"Don't worry, you will treat this incident as if it never happened, if the matter is revealed in the future and someone comes to investigate this matter, I allow you to put the blame on me."

"Lord Viscount, what are these words, my subordinates would rather die than betray you!" The adjutant looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Viscount Tiebi nodded noncommittally.

"Next, I will go to the Duke's Palace alone, and I will take the blame for the failure of this mission, and after you lead the Iron Wall Fleet back to the station, repair it in situ and stand by.

Remember, no one is allowed to move without my orders.

If...... If I do not return after three days, then you will lead your brethren and obey the orders of the Duke. ”

Although the secret guard didn't say anything in the end, the anomaly he showed was already telling.

Seduction...... It is very likely that it really exists!

Judging from the fact that the secret guard was completely brainless, he was afraid that his trip would be a life of death, and if the operation failed, he naturally did not want these brothers who had followed him for many years to be buried with him.

Hearing these words, which seemed to be his last words, the adjutant's heart jumped violently.

"Lord Viscount, my subordinates will accompany you!"

Thinking of the Viscount's kindness to his promotion, the adjutant's head was hot, and he immediately blurted out.

Viscount Tiebi turned around, looked at him very seriously, and suddenly grinned the next moment.

"Okay!"

"Uh......" The adjutant's head was stunned, and the sweat came down directly.

That's what you promised?

How can you say yes?

At this time, according to the routine, shouldn't you be moved to encourage me, and then pat me on the shoulder and gently refuse, and finally leave a chic back?

He almost wanted to give himself a big mouth in his heart.

Impulsiveness is the devil!

"Hahaha!" Viscount Tiebi suddenly burst out laughing.

patted the adjutant on the shoulder and waved his hand without looking back.

"I heard that you are going back to your hometown to get married this time, if there is a chance, I will go to the wedding!"

The back is indescribably free and easy.

"Lord Viscount......"

……

Duke Houghton's Duke's Mansion, located on the third planet of the Houghton system, has been around for nearly a thousand years.

Although it is not as magnificent as the Emperor Star, it also occupies nearly one-fifth of the planet's land and sits on an entire independent continent.

It took half a day, through layers of checkpoints, and after all the weapons were confiscated, the small shuttle that Viscount Tiebi was riding was allowed to land on the tarmac.

When Duke Houghton walked into the parlor, he saw the Viscount with a straight waist and a solemn face.

"Your subordinates, see Lord Duke."

Seeing Grand Duke Houghton, who had not seen him for a long time and his temples were already gray, Viscount Tiebi's tone inevitably brought a trace of fluctuation.

Duke Horton, who was keenly aware of this fluctuation, looked at Viscount Tiebi with a somewhat complicated gaze, and quickly restrained the emotions in his eyes.

"Hmmm! Now that you're back, let's take a good rest for a while, and it's hard to go back and forth during this time.

As for the fleet, you don't have to worry about it, I'll arrange for someone to take over. ”

Listening to the cold tone that seemed to be caring, but there was no trace of warmth, Viscount Tiebi was a sigh in his heart, and raised his head to look at Archduke Houghton in surprise.

What kind of running around is tired, he is a 180-pound person, and he still needs to be distressed?

This is obviously to reduce his military power!

Even if he had expected that he would definitely be punished for failing the mission, it was undoubtedly the worst-case scenario to take away his military power as soon as he came up.

Seemingly...... Dealing with the secret guard by yourself will have more serious consequences than you imagined......

Did you touch the nerves of that person?

His eyes casually swept over the stone sculpture of "Janice with a Broken Arm" in the center of the living room, and Viscount Tiebi bowed his head and said.

"Yes! I have ordered the fleet to return to its station, and the Duke can send someone to take over at any time, and speaking of which, I have not been on vacation for a long time, thank you Lord for your kindness. ”

He didn't resist, because he knew that in the Duke's territory, his little strength couldn't make waves at all.

Resisting with the fleet in your hand is purely looking for death.

He came over today, and he was not prepared to use force at all.

Seeing that Viscount Tiebi was so cooperative, without even questioning a word, Duke Houghton finally showed a smile.

In this case...... Maybe you can even ask Your Highness for mercy.

It is impossible to continue to hold the power of the army, at least, let him live......

"Lord Duke, Viscount Pluto is out asking to see you."

At this moment, the butler suddenly came in and said.

Pluto? What is he here for?

Glancing at the iron-walled Viscount who was sitting precariously and his face was as usual, Duke Houghton frowned.

He knew that Pluto and Viscount Tiebi were hardcore friends, friends of life and death, could it be that they came to intercede?

"Let him in."

A short time later, a large man in military armor and a scruffy beard walked in, followed by an entourage.

The person who came first saluted Duke Houghton, "Black Flagship, Commander of the Second Fleet Pluto, I have seen Lord Duke. ”

"Hmm!" Duke Houghton nodded faintly.

"What are you doing here instead of staying at your station?"

"Hahaha! The Duke forgives me, didn't I hear that Alfonso had lost the battle, so I came over to laugh at him!

I want to see what will make Alfonso deflated, what will be the three heads and six arms! Pluto laughed heartily and winked at Viscount Tiebi.

Viscount Tiebi glanced at the other party with a faint gratitude.

That's right, that's what he's going to do today...... A witness who is very important.

In addition to being a staunch royalist like him in politics, Pluto was also his friend in life and death, and one of the few people under the command of Archduke Houghton that could be trusted.

On top of that, he has another identity.

That's one of the commanders of the garrison fleet in the Horton system!
