After receiving Emperor Chrysostom's promise, Crown Prince Nawaf glanced back at the imperial ministers who were going to cooperate with him. Everyone had the same serious expression without hesitation. This was because everyone secretly made a decision.
We have made a decision and will work hard to implement it without retreating. That is - never interfere in the dispute between the two Grand Dukes!
In the two major systems of military and government, the two grand dukes each have their own supporters. It is very easy for them to use their scope of authority to provide convenience to their benefactors. But just as the emperor was worried, it is difficult for those involved to have a taste of it.
Instead, it will go into the abyss step by step, and eventually it will be involved in this situation and it will be impossible to get out.
However, these people have never thought about this problem before. For them, whatever they pay, whether tangible or intangible, will eventually be rewarded. If the party they support fails, then all their previous investments will be lost.
There is no return. You may even have to pay more in exchange for forgiveness from the winner.
So once you take the first step, you can't escape. This is not just about repaying the favor of promotion, or expressing your position, but about your own personal interests.
But none of these benefits are more serious than the rise of the Demon Prince Azad! That uncontrolled prince can be fatal, and he is the kind who cannot resist. Without the power of the emperor, just his standing
It's enough to make people tremble in front of them.
If such a person is allowed to take control of the entire empire, as the old emperor said, people standing in the palace today, even most of the nobles in the imperial capital, will flee back to their own territories for refuge. Who doesn't cherish life? What if
If someone is willing to come forward, let that person come forward. Anyway, it won't take long, and he will probably be dead.
As for whether the empire will get better? To be honest, what the old emperor said is a joke! It is just a beautiful delusion born out of doting emotions because the person in question is his own son. If governing a country is really like that
It's easy, so everyone in the palace works hard every day to deal with government affairs from all over the empire. Is it a joke?
The so-called country is a group that, when no one cares about it, will happily fall into the abyss and never recover. Only the officials who lead the country work hard and control the direction of the country.
Only by deviating too far from the right path can the country survive.
No mistakes can be made in any link! Otherwise, it will bring disaster. It is precisely because of this that officials in high positions have their importance and necessity. It is not because of their ancestors that they enjoy high positions.
The inheritance of the family only allows them to become familiar with the complicated affairs faster than ordinary people who know nothing about it.
If the most important link, that is, the emperor, suffers an unreliable disaster that can even be said to be the same as destruction, what is the difference between that and seeking self-destruction? But at that time, it probably won't happen.
When people have no time to worry about other things, it is more important to think about how they are going to survive.
In order to avoid falling into such a situation, the best way is to comply with the old emperor's request and never get involved in the bloody flag battle between the two grand dukes. Even any formal connection must be avoided. Everyone
I was afraid that I would give the emperor an excuse to flirt with the crown prince who was still able to negotiate, and directly promote the natural disaster to the throne.
So one day later, Grand Duke Rizal, one of the parties involved in Blood Flag Revenge who was no longer in the palace, suddenly realized that he had become unable to move forward in the capital. All the relationships he had managed in the past seemed to have disappeared overnight.
.
Although all the couriers and envoys sent out were treated with the same courtesy, none of them completed their tasks. Everyone politely declined their requests, even if their envoys took out the favors that the Grand Duke's family had given to each family in the past and asked them to respond.
, and no one is willing to give a positive reply.
Such an abnormal state certainly attracted Duke Rizal's attention. And it was easy to find out the reason behind it, because no one deliberately tried to hide it. The initiator of everything was the one sitting on the supreme throne in the palace.
Using the emperor's fourteenth son as a threat really hit everyone's weak point. Even Duke Rizal himself did not have a good solution. At first, he was deprived of his succession rights and driven out of the imperial capital, but everyone in the palace
I only got the result after working with one mind and exerting my strength from top to bottom at the same time.
Although the old emperor complied, he still let his dear son go. The reason he used was very simple. I did what I could, but I couldn't control his behavior. Whoever does it will win!
…
The good upbringing of the nobles left everyone with a lack of curse words. This was probably the only shortcoming of being a superior person. However, the old emperor's actions still made all the nobles use all the curse words in their lives.
In short, when the Demon Prince and himself were put on opposite ends of the scale, Lord Rizal could understand everyone's choices. But understanding did not mean understanding, and the anguish and indignation in his heart were still there. That old bastard had nothing to offer except his bloodline!
It was only the third day since that incident happened, but the old Duke felt as if he had been stuck in a quagmire for three years. There was no good news, only bad news one after another, and the bad things that extended from the bad news.
.
The old Duke, who was rubbing his temples and pinching the bridge of his nose, was interrupted by several gentle knocks on the door. Without waiting for a response, the knocker came directly in. This is the privilege of the old Duke's personal attendant. Knock on the door.
Just a reminder, not a request.
"Master." The visitor bowed in greeting, and then said what he wanted to convey. "We have found the whereabouts of Marquis Farshed. Now we are sending people to track it down."
After exhaling a long breath, Mr. Rizal said: "Finally there is good news. Where did that kid go?"
"Enter from the northern secret forest and run into the range of the Pibis Mountains. We are contacting nearby gathering points to organize a search force and prepare to enter the mountains." The waiter talked about the follow-up arrangements.
Because the task of hunting down the Marquis has been assigned, everything can be carried out without the permission of the Grand Duke, and someone is responsible for the relevant planning. However, the progress of the matter still needs to be rewarded. Sometimes the Grand Duke will have additional requirements, but most of them
Only then will we know the result.
However, this time, I am afraid that there were too many frustrating things that made the old man unable to relax. After hearing this rare good news, Mr. Rizal raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Well done! Let us inform you and catch those people."
There will be a big reward for the boy. Also, I want to live, and I only want to live. I won't care about such small things as missing legs and hands."
The little extra request and the promised reward seemed to indicate that the future development of the fugitive marquis would not be a happy one.
The attendant bowed and was about to hand over the task ordered by the grand duke. Duke Rizal called the people down again and said: "Tell the others that we are leaving and returning to the territory. Don't leave behind anything that should be taken away."
, just leave the necessary manpower to maintain the mansion."
Although the attendant was surprised by this sudden decision, he had no right to question it, so he could only follow it. For the old duke, one of the main reasons for staying in the imperial capital was to use the connections he had managed to target himself.
Old enemies formed a siege network.
But since this plan was ruined by the bad old man with the crown, there is no need to stay. The duchy is the foundation of oneself.
