PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

For a while, the high-ranking members of the Luz Empire gathered in the council hall of the palace, each saying insincere words, perfunctorily proposing a plan to rescue the emperor for those die-hard factions, but secretly, they had already begun to secretly instruct their subordinates to inform the family to gather strength and be ready to break out at any time.

In the midst of the high-ranking officials of the empire, time passed little by little, and the nobles and officials who were loyal to the royal family glared angrily at those who had bad intentions, but they had nothing to do with them, because at this moment when there was no royal family and no emperor, the rights of these die-hard factions were obviously weaker than others, and they could only do it in a hurry.

However, these die-hard loyalists were not idle, and after a dozen people discussed it, they secretly sent the most powerful guard force in the family to quietly rush to the border city to protect the only hope of the royal family, Prince Nathaniel returned to the imperial capital to preside over the overall situation.

The nobles and officials of the die-hard faction could think of welcoming Nathaniel back to the imperial capital, and of course those with ill intentions also thought of this, secretly sending news to intercept and kill the only survivor of the imperial family by various means, and as for the abducted emperor, they had no hope of reporting at all.

In the early morning, in the palace of the city lord of the border city, Nathaniel, who had just received the news that the royal family had been purged by the Assassins and that the emperor had been abducted, hurried back to the imperial capital under the escort of those die-hard factions.

Because of the long distance, and for various reasons, the border cities did not have a teleportation array directly to the imperial capital, and returning to the imperial capital required three cities to transit. And it is these three cities, from the receiving teleportation array outside the city to the teleportation array in the city, Nathaniel with more than a hundred expert guards has been assassinated and sneak attacked more than a dozen times, and even more daring and reckless actually sent a not weak force to forcibly intercept and kill, however, Nathaniel, who had been prepared for a long time, was assisted by the seaside intelligence officers. Escaping deadly attacks again and again, when he successfully reached the imperial capital, only a few of the original more than 100 guards survived, and Nathaniel himself was also injured in many places, but his life was not in danger.

In fact, along the way, Nathaniel was not injured, but under Wang Yong's arrangement, in order to clean up those nobles and officials who would not be loyal to Nathaniel. Nathaniel endured the pain and stabbed himself several times with a dagger, so that, after he stabilized the situation, he had enough reason to destroy those factors that were not in his favor. It can also be regarded as a kind of bitter meat meter.

When Nathaniel entered the palace under the protection of the Praetorian Guards, he came to the council hall. The originally chaotic hall suddenly fell silent.

Nathaniel did not speak. He walked straight to a chair under the throne and sat down, glanced coldly at the nobles in the hall, closed his eyes and let the court doctor help him bandage the wounds on his body.

Nathaniel's safe return was a joy to the nobles who were loyal to the royal family, while the ill-intentioned ones were silent one by one, they knew it. What will be the result of the failure of their operation to assassinate Nathaniel. However, these people still had luck in their hearts, betting that His Royal Highness the Prince, who only knew how to eat, drink and be merry, and did not do his job, did not know who sent someone to kill him, and these nobles who did it also had a certain degree of certainty in their hearts, because the people they sent did not know the identity of their employer. But. These people are now not as arrogant as before, and they are honestly standing aside.

After a long time, Nathaniel opened his eyes, took the hot towel from the guards and wiped his face, then stood up and glanced coldly at everyone present, and said in an extremely stern tone: "The empire has suffered such a great disaster, I don't want to say anything more about the rest now, the top priority now is to rescue my father, so everyone, don't do what you shouldn't do, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you." After saying that, Nathaniel said in a cold voice to the top officer of the Praetorian Guard, "Ibu, tell me all about last night. The top officer of the Praetorian Guard stepped forward and explained the matter in detail.

After listening to Ibu's account, Nathaniel pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found out the identities of those assassins?"

When Ibu heard this, he replied: "Your Highness, we have killed more than thirty of those assassins, and we have found a clue on their corpses, that is, the underwear they wear is all made of cloth from the Lacey Empire, and two of them have been confirmed to be junior warriors and magicians of the Lacey Empire. When Nathaniel heard this, he secretly admired Wang Yong's plan for being seamless, and he could leave him such direct evidence at such a chaotic moment.

At this time, a nobleman stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what Ibu said may be true, but I don't think there is a contradiction between the Lacey Empire and our Luz Empire, and the relationship between the two countries has always been very harmonious, so they have no reason to attack us at all." I think that the identity of these assassins should be another mystery, maybe someone from other countries or forces framed the Reis Empire, and I hope Your Highness will think twice. ”

Nathaniel frowned, nodded and said, "What Duke Raul said makes a lot of sense, which empire do you think these assassins were sent?"

Raul thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these people should be from the Coastal Province of the Empire. ”

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and said, "Reason." ”

Raul said without hesitation: "Now that more than a dozen of our countries have jointly sent troops to attack the Coastal Province, they have enough motivation, and only the Coastal Province can mobilize a wing of elite soldiers to sneak into the imperial capital in such a short time. ”

Nathaniel pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "I don't think so, according to the previous style of the Seaside Province, they would not bring so many ordinary soldiers to carry out such an operation, their style is that all the masters go out together and forcibly behead them with absolute high-end force, they are like this to the Eternal Empire, and the same is true to the previous emperor of the Lawson Empire, with their high-end strength, if all the troops are dispatched, we will not be able to stop it, so there is no need for them to let their soldiers come to death." Hearing this, Raul felt that what Nathaniel said was not unreasonable, and for a while he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Nathaniel did not give Raul another chance to speak, and said to Ibu, an officer of the Praetorian Guard: "As the sole heir of the royal family, I have promoted Ibu to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and I hope that you can lead the Praetorian Guard to protect the safety of the imperial city." ”

Hearing this, Ibu forcibly held back the surprise in his heart, stepped forward and saluted, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Nathaniel continued, "You send someone to the Ryth Empire's office in the imperial capital, and bring them all, and I will personally ask if they did it." ”

Ibu bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Ibu was about to leave, Nathaniel said: "By the way, I want to live, if it is really done by the Lacey Empire, we also need them as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Lacey Empire to rescue my father." Ibu took the command and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
