Chapter 918 (1/2)
Silently walked into the ward, the black haired wizard said nothing.
Brandon, sitting in the chair, looked numb and could not see any brilliance in his bright red pupils.
”Say something,” Brandon said in a hoarse voice
”As my wizard adviser, the Duke of Byrne... What do you think of the death of the Imperial Emperor?”
Stop and stand on the floor tile three steps away from Brandon. Loren is still silent.
Quiet, like a tacit understanding, floating between them.
”Don't tell me... OK, I'll come first.” he raised his eyes rigidly and looked at the dark haired wizard. His royal highness pulled the trembling corners of his mouth:
”I'm very excited and afraid now... It's such a contradictory mood, but no matter what kind of contradiction, there is no sadness of losing my father!”
Clenched his lower lip, Brandon's teeth trembled: ”I don't know why, but there's always a voice telling me - it's a scam, it's impossible! The man is lying to you. How can he die so easily, and still die in his bedroom?!”
”I, I don't understand why, but there is an unreal sense of living in a dream. It's like a group of people around me opening an old, stereotyped and particularly funny joke.”
”When I calmed down a little, I immediately understood where this untrue feeling came from - because I wasn't prepared, and I never even expected this to happen!”
”Ridiculous, I think it's ridiculous! I, who vowed to become the emperor of the empire by any means, never thought of what my father's death would be like!”
”I... Never thought he was human and would die!”
Brandon, who had a gray face a moment ago, was hysterically excited at this time.
Trembling tone and hurried words echoed in the dimly lit ward, but it seemed more lonely... Like a madman talking alone in a world without anyone.
”I don't think it's funny.” the dark haired wizard, who whispered, shook his head and said:
”With Eckhardt II's pattern, vision and plan, even if someone tells me that he intends to live forever, it probably makes me feel more credible than this information now.”
”But the truth is that he died... And the news that he died in the sky palace and in the hands of Azor elf assassins will spread throughout the Empire in a month.”
”One month... How to use this short period of one month is the most important thing right now.”
But Brandon is obviously not thinking about this at the moment.
”Do you think it's possible... That is to say, all this is just his plan, deliberately pretending to be dead to deceive us?” nervous Brandon looked cautious when he even said a word:
”Maybe he just pretended to be dead, maybe it's all part of his plan, maybe even the elf assassin has been arranged by him, maybe even Peter FASA... Forget it, just think I didn't say it.”
The shameful prince said to himself. In the end, even he thought it was too bullshit.
At least... He doesn't think he is important enough to let his father ”fake death” to test.
Azores? Although Brandon finally stopped belittling them after listening to the explanation of the dark haired wizard, he still didn't think that these guys would embarrass his father who won two demon invasions (one of which was due to me).
As for the demons of the North... If Eckhardt can win once, he can win the second time; Twelve generations of emperors of the Empire have won more than a dozen times. Pretending to be dead at this time can only reduce the prestige of their father.
After all, not every de sallion can be as brazen and shameless as himself.
What on earth... What enemy can force the omnipotent father to do this? Or is it part of his plan that everyone was cheated by him?
”No matter what happened, the 12th generation emperor of the Empire... My omnipotent father is dead, and it seems that he should be really dead!”
Brandon, numb, spread out his hands as if explaining and talking to himself: ”Oh, by the way... LUT infinite, the guy you hate to the bone, he's probably dead.”
”The sky palace, which has been famous for 12 generations, was made a big fuss by ELF assassins. The night watchmen of the imperial capital were destroyed, and none of the 600 royal guards were spared. It is said that several of the oath Knights of the imperial capital Cathedral were killed in battle... If it was really the plan of his Majesty's father, I wonder who could have such an 'honor'?”
Brandon spoke more and more quickly, from the beginning of silence to eloquence. He didn't get any response and talked endlessly, and his lips trembled faster and faster.
Only the eyes, still as dull as just now, there was no brilliance in the dim red flame and red pupil.
Lauren gave a low sigh.
Brandon... He still didn't come out of the excitement and fear, just trying to cover it up, trying to make himself look calm again.
He doesn't care about his image, can be humble, can be arrogant, and can make himself funny like a clown or a dandy; But I still don't want to expose my weak side to others... Even friends.
”So what should we do now?” Brandon kept changing the topic: ”assemble the two principalities and the Legion in my hands, go north, become the master of the sky palace before the cabinet and the nobles in the imperial capital react, and then beat my dear imperial brother into an anti thief?”
The tone of self-talk was not like asking Lauren, but like persuading yourself.
”Then the nobles in the imperial capital were blocked under the city gate, and were declared as anti thieves by the temporary Regent's front cabinet, waiting to be 'crowned across the air' and surrounded and suppressed by his Royal Highness the crown prince, who was far away at the duanjieshan fortress, right?”
He moved a chair and sat down. Loren deliberately joked: ”the premise must also be that the loyal Archduke of ellemans is willing to let us pass, or the prince of saxophone and his royal highness can watch us pass through his territory without stopping.”
”Hmm...” frowning Brandon curled up in the chair without image, biting his thumb nail: ”that's true.”
”The second way is to call on all the Dukes of the Empire to march to the imperial capital to defend the sky palace attacked by the enemy; finally, by your identity as heir, you will be recognized by all the principalities.” Loren stretched out two fingers:
”This is also a way, but the question is who will respond - Arles probably wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the Duke of veltz of ellemans will remain neutral until the new emperor appears;”
