Chapter 162: Reaction (II)

Convinced of the speculation that the initiator of the assassination was definitely a conservative, the princess Dorosia immediately used her own channels to inform several liberal high-ranking officials of the news of Xia Lin's assassination on the streets of the Central District and the next plan.

She then took a carriage to find the city guards and questioned them about the assassination that had taken place on the streets of the Central District.

"Your Royal Highness, at the time of this incident, we were in the process of assessing the martial arts of the city guards, so we neglected the patrol work in some places, even if you want me to hand over the murderer now, I can't do anything!"

In the face of Dorothea's rebuke, Nicholas Biviston, the captain of the City Guard Brigade, showed a helpless look, but his words seemed a little unhurried.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how angry the Dorothea princess is, it won't have much effect on him, but he doesn't realize that the purpose of Dorothea's move is not just to show her anger to the conservatives.

"Captain of the Nicholas Brigade, this assassination took place in Hurghana, and under the gaze of my father, I don't think I need to remind you of how bad this nature is.

Besides, the person who was assassinated was actually Sir Charleen Carr, whom my father and I admired, and if you city guards do not come up with an explanation, then do not blame me for explaining to my father what happened today, and I will ask my father to deal with you, the brigade commander, for dereliction of duty."

Empress Dorothea made an angry look and said to the Captain of the Nicholas Brigade in a cold tone.

"Martial arts assessment is originally a monthly routine work of the city guards, and even if Her Royal Highness the Empress uses this reason to let the Great Majesty punish me, I don't think Your Majesty will blame me.

I have already sent a letter of assistance to the Mage Guild to assist in the investigation, and I will soon be able to investigate the real culprit of the incident when the prophecy mage is in place, and I also ask Her Royal Highness to vent her anger on the real culprit at that time."

Regarding the threat of the princess, the captain of the Nicholas brigade tapped his finger on his desk indifferently and said.

"Really? As far as I know, the city guards' monthly martial arts assessment is set at the end of the month, and the martial arts assessment urgently notified by Brigade Captain Nicholas this morning has caused a gap in the city guards' patrols."

"The end of the month is the New Year's celebration, and it is something that must be adjusted, so what's wrong with me adjusting to today?

Well, Your Royal Highness, this kind of thing happened today, and I, as the brigade commander of the city guards, am also deeply regretful and remorseful, but we still have a lot of investigation work to deal with in the future, so I will not accompany you anymore!"

Nicholas Billis pulled himself out of the center of the incident without a leak, and got up to issue an eviction order to the princess Dorothea.

"Really? I hope my father will accept your words!"

Empress Dorothea knew that it was impossible to get what she wanted from him, but she was only expressing her attitude through this meeting, so she only gave Captain Nicholas a mocking look, and then left the city guard garrison with her retinue.

……

"Hahaha! Dorothea, a fool, didn't arrange guards around the people he valued, so we could easily get it!

That Charin Karl, who brought all kinds of influences, is now dead, and that Xinglan Industrial Park is like a big piece of fat, even I am a little tempted, I see how long this family-like business alliance can maintain unity in front of this piece of fat!"

In the study of Arnold Castle, the Prince of Fairmode could not help but get up and laugh after reading the secret letter he had just sent and placing it on the desk of the Earl of Hutt.

"Your Royal Highness, I think that in this way, Viscount Robin and them will also be satisfied, and they can use that new loom to set up a textile factory at such a time, and I think it can also deal a painful blow to the business alliance.

When the time comes, the Enlightened faction will be too busy to take care of themselves, and we will be a little more confident in the implementation of our plan at the end of the month!"

Earl Hurt took the secret letter, looked at the contents carefully, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's nature! In this way, they are interlocking to fight the enlightened

The plan is only our Minister of Agriculture...... No! Now it should be said that His Excellency the palace minister was able to propose it!"

The two would-be monarchs looked at each other and laughed heartily.

But in the court, the news of the assassination of Charlem Carr caused a shock far beyond the imagination of conservatives.

"What did you say?! Ahem...... Mage Charlem Karl was assassinated by an unknown high-ring mage?!"

Lying on the bed in the Winter Palace, Emperor Plit, who had been reading a freshly printed paper book, heard the news from the mouth of the Empress Dorothea, and his eyes immediately widened and his face was full of shock.

"Yes, Father, this morning Captain Nicholas happened to gather most of the city guards for the monthly martial arts assessment, so there was a gap in the patrols in the Central District.

It was during this time that after Sir Charlene had visited me, he passed through the streets of the Central Side from the Eastern Side and was assassinated by a mage who was at least the fourth ring or above.

According to the civilians who were present as investigated by the city guards, the mage had shouted a word to Ser Charling before the assassination.

It seems that it was because of the recent publication of the journal Runes and Magic that the research results of the high-ring mage, who should be over sixty years old, were rejected by the magical theory of Charlem Karl published in it, and he came up with the idea of assassinating Charlem Karl."

The goddess Dorothea sat on the side of the bed with a sad face, and explained in detail to Emperor Pulit what she had obtained, causing Emperor Pulit to cough violently again:

"Ahem, ahem! Examine! Ahem! Find out who this high-ring mage is, and I'm going to hang him, his family, his apprentices, and everyone who is close to him!

Ask Archmage Agnes Fidrettrica to use the prophecy of the Six Rings! I want to get all the information about the assassin in plain terms!"

Hearing that the person he valued had died at the hands of a high-ring mage for such a ridiculous reason, the cold-looking Emperor Pulit coughed violently and let out a suppressed roar at his chief attendant.

The thought of the new steel-making technology, muskets, artillery, and so many other achievements that had all been combined in one for a two-ring mage who was only sixteen years old actually died, Emperor Plitt couldn't help but be filled with anger in his chest.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

It had been a long time since the chief chamberlain had seen Emperor Plitt show such an angry look, and a cold sweat could not help but flow from his forehead, and he hurriedly promised to leave the Winter Palace and go to find Archmage Agnes in person.

"Father, what should the city guards do? They assessed their martial arts in advance, but did not coordinate Hurgana's patrol in advance, resulting in a gap in the central area, and it took almost ten minutes to arrive at the scene afterwards.

If the usual city guards had arrived at the scene within three minutes of the attack, then Sir Charling would have survived!"

Empress Dorothea asked Emperor Prit with a grief-stricken look.

"Indeed, Nicholas seems to have relaxed a little! Ahem! Helgana is the face of the Empire, and this is where such a thing happens.

Squire, record my decree to remove Nicholas Beavis from his post as captain of the City Guards Brigade and let the deputy brigade captain Ron Colin take his place for the time being! Ahem, ahem!"

Hearing the words of Empress Dorothea, Emperor Plitt was dissatisfied and angrily ordered.

The princess Dorothea couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and then the smile disappeared immediately, and she continued to soothe her father's back, making him feel a little better from the fierce cough.
