Volume 1 The Awakening of the Lion Cub Chapter 10 Conspiracy

"Transaction...... What deal?" Glia's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and he looked at Fiona with interest, waiting for the latter's explanation.

"The current decline of the Roman Empire is only the beginning, and the senate's greed for power has been undisguised, so the emperor ...... That is, my father, who is trapped in Rome and has no ......time to take care of himself," Fiona looked at Glia with a smile, paused and continued: "It is precisely because of the civil strife in Rome that we can make some small moves in the north of the empire. ”

"Huh...... I thought you had forgotten who you were as the Imperial Princess...... But it doesn't matter, tell me, what are your little gestures referring to?" Gloya smiled back at Fiona, but Fiona didn't feel any smile in his eyes...... There was only a cold silence.

Glia's terrifying eyes made Fiona's originally calm heart suddenly become extremely flustered.

In her eyes, Gloya had suddenly turned into a hideous-looking, ferocious and brutal beast that was staring at her greedily, like staring at a piece of delicious fat......

She wanted to run away, yes, run away......

Desperate to escape...... Just to stay away from this terrible man!

"Calm down!" Palci stood between Glia and Fiona, and as Fiona calmed down and began to gasp for breath in fear, he stared coldly at Glia and mocked, "I didn't expect that with your noble status, you would use such despicable means." ”

"I just used a normal dreadful spell...... And the reason for this is just to see what difference the so-called saints of the Holy See are...... Now it seems that she has not left the category of 'human' and has become what you 'god' call an 'angel'......" Gloria shrugged her shoulders, pretending not to see Palci's gloomy face, and continued: "Alright, let's continue with the topic just now, then Fiona...... Your father and I are old friends, what would he do if he knew that you had come to my castle with your husband not in the North, but with a few lackeys of the Holy See?"

“...... There is no doubt that he will send me to the Colosseum with his own hands, my lord. Fiona took a few breaths to calm herself down, and with a little fear on her face, Fiona continued, "However, he will also learn about your contact with the emissary of the Kingdom League, and the close relationship between the Senate and you...... Otherwise, they won't buy time for your meeting with Baron. ”

"However, this does not pose any threat to me, and the reason why I am on the side of the emperor is because he has given me enough benefits...... However, the status he has given me, and the rights he has granted me, will not allow me to serve him to death......" Gloria looked at Fiona faintly, as if she had seen through her inner thoughts, Gloya smiled lightly and said, "If I am not mistaken, you are persuading me to side with the Kingdom League, right?"

"That's right......" Fiona took a deep breath and looked firmly at Glia and said, "Once you are on our side, then the fall of the Roman Empire is only a matter of time. ”

"Yes, if an Archduke of the Empire, who is also the guardian of the southern borders of the Empire, betrays the Empire, then the entire Empire will face the danger of collapse, and this crisis is even more terrible than the one when the Kingdom Alliance established itself independently - at that time, Rome only lost on the battlefield and paid some provinces on the border. But if I claim to join forces with the Kingdom League, even if Augustus is reborn, it will not be able to prevent the fall of Rome. ”

As he spoke, Gloria's eyes suddenly became a little more playful, because he found that the expressions on the faces of the three in front of him had basically not changed, which showed that he was not a fool in their hearts...... Well, it's time to try their bottom line.

So Geo pointed to the door where they came, smiled politely, and said, "Go back, a complete Rome, a Rome full of infighting, not my ideal Rome, but the most suitable Rome for me." You don't know what I want, and even if the League of Kingdoms, or the Holy See, promised me half of Rome's territory, or gold coins that could fill the Sea of Aeson, I would not betray Rome, nor would I betray my ally of interest, the tyrannical Roman Emperor in your eyes, Caligula. ”

"Is that so? What if we made you the head of the Holy See Templar?" Fiona looked down for a moment after hearing Gloya's refusal, then looked up decisively.

Palci on the side had a puzzled look in his eyes, how could the position of the head of the Holy See be comparable to the benefits that Glia had said? Presumably Glia would have rejected Fiona's proposal, right?

The other, Baron de Smirton, the prince of the Kingdom of Smirton, took a deep look at Fiona......

Just when the three of them were thinking differently, a huge coercion suddenly appeared in this secret room, this coercion almost made Palci vomit blood, but he still relied on his own strength to resist. And Baron is a layer of light blue arc halo appeared around his body, with the invasion of coercion, the halo continued to appear violent ripples, and it looked like it was about to shatter.

But a strange thing happened, Fiona, the weakest of the three, was standing in the secret room like nothing at the moment.

The composure on her face contrasted sharply with the paleness of the other two.

"You don't have to worry, we've got it all arranged. A young man from the self-proclaimed Holy Clan, with black hair and yellow eyes and yellow skin on almost every member, and my husband, Richard, gave me a bottle of a rapidly debilitating potion that was said to have been concocted by the elders of their clan himself, but it was extremely imperceptible...... I bribed a Praetorian Guard to pour the potion into the glasses of my father, Caligula, and his sister, Yulia Drusilla...... She later died...... My father became known as a tyrant, and to this day he still believes that the Senate poisoned his sister...... Suffice it to say, our plans started very early and we arrived at Kadlinburg until we were fully prepared. If you agree to join us, you will be protected by the Holy See and continue to maintain your family...... Or rather, the continuation of the race!"
