Chapter 144: The Decision of Emilius
Looking at the villa, which was lit up in the darkness, Klein made several seconds of mental preparation before stepping out of the carriage, walking up three flights of steps to the gate, and entering the house surrounded by the generals' guards and attendants on both sides.
Seeing that Cynthia was conservative in her household clothes because someone else was there, Klein breathed a sigh of relief silently, kept her serious expression unchanged, and slowly approached her.
Cynthia's smile became more pronounced, and she lifted the few strands of hair that fell behind her ears, revealing a slender and white neck with no trace of the necklace on it.
Seeing that the secretary Lu Eran and the members of the general's guard were either going to their own rooms or spreading out outside the guard house, Klein rushed to Cynthia to give him a hug, and said in a deep voice:
"No need to prepare hot water, give me a quiet room, I need to be alone for one night. ”
"......" Cynthia expressed her confusion and confusion with her eyes.
Klein looked around and said in a low voice:
"Something went wrong and I had to go into a very calm state to recover. ”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pulled the cuff slightly, revealing distinct light-colored granules.
In poor physical condition and a certain abnormal reaction, Admiral Emilius prepared an excuse for the previous homeless man's stand-in to help him evade Cynthia's request for closeness without revealing the problem, and Klein deliberately used the "Faceling" technique to give "evidence" in order to enhance his persuasiveness.
Cynthia's mouth opened and she almost screamed, but fortunately, she reached out in time to block her voice.
"Is that okay, do you need a doctor?" Cynthia relented slightly, and immediately asked nervously, her concern overflowing.
"No, it's a necessary price to pay for gaining great power, and I can return to normal after two or three days of calm. Klein also found the reason for the follow-up.
"Okay, okay. Cynthia hurriedly led Klein up to the second floor and led him into the quietest room.
As for the master bedroom, she didn't let it go because she lit a few sticks of incense and sprinkled some delicate dew.
Watching the door close, Klein exhaled slowly, changed into the general's gown, and lay down comfortably on the bed.
In the master bedroom not far away, Cynthia, who was worried and lost, took a hot bath and also entered the bed.
Her eyes were unfocused on the ceiling, and she couldn't help but think of what her father and mother had told her a few days earlier.
They told her to curry favor with Admiral Emilius, preferably with his child, so that the family could gain more of the Central Sunian naval fleet.
The general seems to have a lot of things hidden in his heart, so much so that there is a certain abnormality in his body...... Cynthia thought endlessly, her thoughts drifting away.
She fell asleep unconsciously.
Vaguely, she felt a little hot in her stomach and a little hot in her body, and in her dream she seemed to see a dark night sky dotted with bright stars.
One of them seemed to feel her gaze, and it shone even brighter.
............
The next morning, refreshed Klein, having enjoyed a hearty but unremarkable breakfast, once again went to Olave Naval Base, surrounded by the General's Guard, and requisitioned the most luxurious and spacious office.
According to Admiral Emilius's habit, he would spend some time alone every two or three days in order to study and master his extraordinary abilities at a deeper level, and to develop more and more practical skills, so that Crane would have most of the day undisturbed, and the rest would be treated only with some simple official business.
In the quiet and spacious office, Crane paced leisurely back and forth, or pulled books from the shelves to flip through them, and occasionally reached into his coat pocket and touched the "Ninth Law" charm, which exuded an unusually deep majesty - this was to convince the blonde secretary outside that Admiral Emilius was normal.
I don't know how long it took, but Crane was a little sleepy and planned to take a nap.
Just then, he heard a knock on the door.
There are very important things...... Crane's brow furrowed.
It will definitely not be easy to let Secretary Lu'an disturb Admiral Emilius to concentrate on practice!
"Come in. Crane reined in his emotions and replied in a deep voice.
The good-looking blonde young man Lu Er'an twisted the handle and opened the door to enter, seemingly holding a telegram in his hand.
He lowered his voice and said:
"Your Excellency, Beckland's telegram.
"Mr. Alston was relieved of his position as governor and replaced by the Speaker of the City Council.
"It is said that the new governor will arrive today. ”
Alston Levitt has been relieved of his position as governor?their plot has been discovered?Also, the "Dusk Hermit" has come to warn me, no, Emilius, that they have long been aware of the situation, and through the operation of certain members, it is likely that the matter will be eliminated by a series of changes in positions...... They were warned only the night before yesterday, and they started to act today, they have been preparing for a long time...... Well, that's just because the new Governor will arrive today...... Klein was startled at first, and then felt that this was reasonable,
He paced back and forth a few steps back and forth, following the posture of Admiral Emilius when facing a major problem, and said with a serious expression:
"I see. ”
Klein did not say anything, did not give any orders, and looked extremely deep.
However, in fact, he didn't think about what to do at all.
There is a saying in our big foodie empire that "it is better to be still than to be still", I wonder if Russell has translated it...... Klein thought half self-deprecating, half complaining.
Lur'an glanced up at Admiral Emilius, didn't say much, and quietly exited the office.
Call...... Klein paced again, thinking about what choice the real Admiral Emilius would make standing here.
This was an unexpectedly important event, and there was no corresponding plan, so Klein could only bring in and speculate based on Emilius's character, experiences, and certain self-statements in the materials.
He is a conservative man, and even in the middle and low ranks, he rarely takes risks when mixing with various ships...... He considers himself a Ruen nobleman who values his family, his relatives, his children, and his emotions, and he is a gentleman who is very personable and pleasing to women, well, this is debatable, with his rank and status, even if he changes to a curly-haired baboon, he will be loved by women and men, no, even more loved, at least the curly-haired baboon will not tell outdated jokes...... Klein's mind flashed messages and intertwined into the image of Admiral Emilius.
In the midst of such immersion, he heard a knock on the door again.
"Come in. Klein's spirit tensed all of a sudden.
The blonde secretary Lu Er'an opened the door and came in, pointed outside, and said:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Alston would like to see you. ”
What happened to Auston? He wondered if Emilius was looking for protection, or was he going to die and struggle? Crane's eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized that he had to make a decision for Admiral Emilius.
"What will he do? After receiving the warning of the 'Twilight Hermit Society', he should understand that the matter has been exposed, the target has been prepared for a long time, and with his conservative character, the choice can be imagined......
However, he also attached great importance to family affection, and even described some interesting facts about Alston Levitt in detail in the materials, and it is not difficult to see that there is a concern and affection for his younger brother in it...... He doesn't like marijuana or cigarettes, and drinking alcohol is just socializing, except for being a little addicted to beauty, there is nothing wrong with it......
"He values the family ...... Family ......" Klein quickly recalled, allowing himself to fully integrate into the identity of Emilius, and realize the emotions and things that the other party contains.
Clan...... At this moment, he seemed to be incarnated as Emilius, but he analyzed all kinds of problems in a detached attitude.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Klein heard himself say in a somewhat unfamiliar cold tone:
"Tell him that I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to see him.
"Also, buy him a ticket back to Beckland. ”
As if he had expected it, Lu Er'an retracted his gaze and replied without abnormality:
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
Watching Luran exit the office and go outside to look for Auston Levitt, Klein sighed softly, just like the real Emilius Levitt.
He knew that if the other party came back early, he would make the same choice.
Because the most important thing is the family!
In the case that the plot has been exposed, Emilius will not fight the last bargaining chip and put the family in danger of destruction, as long as he is not involved, as long as he is still a demigod, even if he is no longer the supreme commander of the Central Sudanian Navy in the future, the Levitt family will not be too badly damaged.
Asking the secretary to buy the ticket on his behalf shows that Emilius still regards Auston as a brother, warning the others not to hurt each other until the problem is clarified.
Nearly a minute later, the blonde secretary Lu Er'an returned:
"Your Excellency, Mr. Alston has departed. ”
Emilius valued family affection...... Klein was silent for two seconds, turned his back to the secretary, and asked in a low voice:
"Did he say anything?"
Lu Er'an replied truthfully:
"He said you were a cold man by nature. ”
Klein listened quietly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile without a smile.
It was his instinctive reaction, but having integrated into Emilius's identity, he believed that the admiral would have the same expression.
That feeling, that emotion is the same!
For the rest of the day, Klein sat in his office, not seeing any guests or attending to a single official business, except for the occasional silent listening to Secretary Lur'an's report on the situation on Olavi Island.
Nothing happened until the arrival of the new governor.
In the evening, he turned down the scheduled dinner party, returned to the garden villa, looked at Cynthia, and hugged the other party.
Then, he calmly said:
"Auston has been relieved of his position as governor. ”
All the sighs, all the sighs, all the pains were condensed in this emotionless sentence.
"I've heard that, it should be fine, right?" Cynthia asked nervously.
Klein closed his eyes and didn't mention it again, only a soft "um".
That sentence just now is the most obvious emotional outpouring that a serious, old-fashioned, conservative and introverted person in a high-ranking position can make.
