Boom!

The doors of the palace slowly opened, and a crowd of nobles and courtiers poured in.

With the help of the servant, Auberly slowly approached the throne and sat down on it.

As soon as the aristocratic ministers entered, their daily quarrels began.

They seem to have a bunch of things to report to the emperor every day.

But among them, the most noteworthy thing is the fact that the second prince was beaten.

The prince was injured, and this kind of thing can't be hidden.

Several ribs were broken......

It's already an assassination.

The nobles simply put aside their own affairs and discussed the matter of the prince's injury.

"This matter must be strictly investigated!"

"The face of the prince is related to the majesty of the entire royal family!"

The old emperor rested one elbow on the armrest and supported his face with his fist.

Quietly looking at the ministers below, he kept talking.

It's a little boring.

But soon, a report caught Oberly's attention.

"Your Majesty! The mansion of Count Victor was demolished ......"

This incident has almost become the pleasure of the entire royal capital.

The dignified Count of Victor, and a member of parliament.

is strong and acts resolutely, and will even be demolished.

It was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Think about the last time there was news that someone's house had been demolished, it was Victor who demolished Jace Lesser's mansion.

As a result, the Rayser family publicly surrendered to the Clayvenna family and made compensation.

And Jace also stayed away from the royal capital directly, and never dared to come back.

But that's not the point, the ministers below are still reporting.

"The residence has been destroyed, and the Earl of Victor and his family are preparing to return to Breston."

Blesson, that's Victor's territory.

Hearing the news, many nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

To put it bluntly, they don't know why.

Just hearing the name Victor makes them feel a sense of oppression.

After all, it's only been a few months.

It took only a few months for Victor to go from being infamous to being admired by 10,000 people.

With his existence, the geniuses of the entire royal capital will be suppressed and bleak.

Now, when they heard that Victor had left the royal capital, many people were relieved.

Hearing this news, the emperor just nodded casually and didn't say anything more.

The emperor has not spoken, causing the atmosphere of the entire palace to be very heavy.

The ministers also kept their mouths shut.

Only then did I feel that there seemed to be something wrong with today's emperor.

Finally, Oberly spoke.

His first sentence was to ask the ministers below.

"Oweyser, are you awake?"

When a minister heard the inquiry, he hurriedly stepped forward and reported to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is awake, and his injuries have been basically controlled, but he still needs to rest."

Oberly nodded and straightened up.

"Bring Oweyser and tell him."

"There's a guy who wants to meet him."

"Yes."

One of the guards got the order and hurried away.

The other noble ministers couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding what the emperor was going to do.

Why, Your Majesty, did he call the seriously wounded Oweyser up?

Soon after, the guards pushed the wheelchair and pushed Oweyser up the palace,

The badly injured Oweiser had bandages on his chest and looked miserable.

"Father's ......"

When he first came in, he still wanted to get up and salute the emperor, but he couldn't move because of the pain in his body, so he could only smile bitterly at him.

When Oberly saw the appearance of the second prince, he waved his hand indifferently.

"The number of courtesies will be waived."

"Give him a seat."

The servants around brought a chair, and the guards moved the second prince to the chair.

Oweyser sat down in his chair with a heavy body, and then faced the Emperor again.

"Thank you, Father."

The Emperor turned to look at Oweyser and asked:

"Oweyser, how many years has it been since your mother left the palace?"

The second prince was a little puzzled, but still opened his mouth to respond.

"Father, she's been gone for sixteen years."

Oberly leaned back in his chair, leaned back, and sighed:

"Yes, sixteen years."

"So, have you ever thought about her?"

The second prince was stunned.

Sixteen years after his mother left, to be honest, he had almost forgotten what his mother looked like.

Not to mention what feelings I still have for her.

However, after all, the father asked in front of a group of nobles and ministers.

Thinking like this, his expression suddenly became a little bitter.

The slightly furrowed eyebrows seemed to convey his painful feelings because of longing.

"Sixteen years after my mother left, I have always missed her."

"I always wish the days would go back to the way they were."

Hearing this, Oberly laughed, but the laughter made it impossible to tell whether it was fun or ridicule.

"Really?"

He sat up straight again, and said unhurriedly in the confused eyes of the courtiers:

"Claudia, meet your child."

Hearing the name, the whole palace fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, especially the second prince, whose facial muscles were completely stiff, and only a pair of eyes were huge.

Under the gaze of everyone, in the passage on the side of the throne, a woman slowly walked out.

She wore a rich garment embellished with gold threads, the hem of which was inlaid with thin, flowing emeralds, and the golden earrings and bracelets sparkled as well.

Behind her were several maids, their heads bowed respectfully.

A graceful and luxurious temperament emanated from her body, and the crown above her head glittered in the sunlight.

She just stood beside the emperor, lowered her head, looked at the second prince with a kind smile, and said lightly:

"Long time no see."

"My child."

……

The nobles' faces were filled with shock when they saw Claudia.

Majesty overflowed from Claudia's eyes, and all the ministers present were completely enveloped.

That breath can't be wrong!

After fifteen years, the queen is back!

The ministers froze in place, looking at the queen, their mouths open, and none of them could even say anything.

If you calculate her age, Claudia in front of her is already close to sixty years old, just like Oberly.

But she was still young, and she looked like a young woman in her thirties.

And the most shocking thing was the second prince.

He sat down in his chair, his mouth wide open, and looked at the luxurious woman in front of him with dementia.

It was his mother, Claudia.

He still remembers.

At that time, the father and the mother were at odds, and the mother resolutely left the royal capital and left the empire.

He was fourteen years old.

And now, she's back.

He still came back with that noble and elegant appearance, just as he had been fifteen years ago.

"Mother...... Mother? ”

The second prince's voice trembled a little, and he let out an unbelievable sigh.

No one knows why Claudia is only coming back now.

But even after Claudia left, the position of empress was still reserved for her.

Claudia approached the second prince and circled around him a few times.

The pupils constricted slightly, as if confirming something.

The second prince didn't understand her behavior very well.

To be honest, he didn't have much emotion in the face of this long-lost woman.

The mood is calm to the extreme.

But being looked at by Claudia like this, the second prince felt an inexplicable abnormality.

The body was like being pierced by bursts of steel thorns, but in the pain, there was a little more emptiness.

Claudia finally stopped in front of the second prince, stretched out her hand, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of your wounds, child."

"We'll continue to get along in the future."

With that, Claudia put her hands in front of the hem of her dress, her eyebrows slightly lowered, and a dignified aura lingered around her.

Then, with a slow bow to Oberly, he turned to leave.

Leaving the second prince in the chair, his eyes looked at Claudia's back, and slowly watched her leave.

……

Claudia's appearance in the palace caused an uproar in the royal capital.

The streets were talking about it, and the headlines of countless newspapers were about "the return of the Empress of the Empire".

In just a few moments, the news had already spread throughout aristocratic circles.

After all, the empress's iron-blooded methods impressed all the nobles.

After all, she personally pushed her family members to the execution rack.

The real culprit who led to the extinction of the entire 'Stoker' family.

It has been fifteen years since the Empress cleaned up the Stoke family with her own hands.

No one knows why she left the empire after the 'righteous annihilation'.

But just as the Empress left the Empire, another piece of news came.

The Emperor's other wife, the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kante, died in childbirth after giving birth to Aurelian.

For a while, all the spearheads were pointed at Oberly.

Again, no one knows.

Why did the emperor's two wives leave him one after another overnight......

……

In the morning, Aurelian was walking in the garden.

She adjusts her mood in the garden of the palace every day, and at this time, there is hardly anyone around her to follow.

Today, a little different.

Aurelian, who was picking flowers, felt a strange breath and approached behind her.

This made her look up and turn away.

Behind her, a richly dressed woman with a shining tiara stood looking at her with a smile on her face.

Wearing a tiara...... Aurelian noticed this emphatically.

However, she didn't know the person in front of her.

Before she could ask, Claudia spoke first:

"You're Aurelian, aren't you?"

Listening to the gentle voice of the woman in front of her, Aurelian felt a little relieved and nodded ignorantly.

"You are ......"

"You've never seen me before."

Claudia walked up to Aurelian, looked at her, spoke softly, and held out a hand that caressed her face.

In his eyes, there seems to be a little more nostalgia.

"It's beautiful...... You are prettier than your mother. ”

Aurelian blinked.

Mother?

This word, for her, is very far away.

Because since childhood, she was told.

Her mother, who gave birth to her, died in childbirth.

So much so that she has never received maternal love since she was a child, and naturally has no concept of her mother.

But the woman in front of her was a little too gentle.

Under the sun, all around her seemed to shine with the brilliance of motherhood.

Aurelian couldn't help but be in a trance.

If it's a mother.....

What will you do to her?

So, she asked:

"Do you know my mother?"

Claudia just smiled, and then said:

"I know not only your mother, but I also know your father and your two brothers."

"And, your teacher, Victor Klevenna."
