Chapter 144 (1/2)
”Are you saying that… Bayan wants to be the Crown Prince?” Rody frowned and asked in a soft voice, ”This does not seeh the Emperor has no son, he is not that old!”
Myka showed a profound expression and shook her head She slowly said, ”Rody, you are too simple minded Since the Emperor has no son, then Bayan is the only suitable candidate Very few people could resist the temptation of I now They ht even make sure it stays that way in the future”
Rody was shocked ”What do you mean?”
Myka looked at Rody, with a worried expression and softly said, ”Rody, right now, you are in a high position Your actions are the center of everybody's attention There are a lot of people that treat you with ulterior ”
She sighed, and her face bore a frightened expression ”In the history of the Ele for the throne, there would be an enorn of terror When Abbas the Great rose to the throne two hundred years ago, the entire palace was stained red with blood People would do anything for the throne!”
”Do they want to attack the Emperor?”
Myka faintly replied, ”In the past few years, Bayan had gathered the support of the nobles in the Imperial Capital Think for a moment If there were no conspiracies, ould he need to win the support of these young aristocrats? Even Didi, the son of the Finance Minister, is following by his side There is also the Imperial Capital's Garrison General's son, Dardaniel Have you already forgotten? They were originally Seth's friend, but now they are Bayan's supporters He has won the support of the young nobles, and through these young nobles, he has gained the support of the rest of their faht of this?”
Rody sighed and gave a wry smile ”I a The fights a to do with s”
Myka shook her head and whispered, ”OthersSeth told o I know that the Eht that the influence of the Tulip Faht overshadow the Royal Family The Emperor does not know that you are an iion His idea was to let the playboy get killed by Reuenthal Even if he did not die, he would bring shaly in the Northwest The result was that the Tulip Faer He then sent you to the South so that the rebellion of the mountain people would trap you there and keep the Tulip Family's banner thousands of miles away, forever His Majesty wants to reht why he suddenly changed his attitude and why he proposed to Miss Nicole?”
Rody frowned and said, ”Is it not because the Iinally wanted to marry Jojo and then later…”
Myka sighed and gently pulled Rody's hand She showed concern and asked, ”Rody, do you think so?” She bit her lips and whispered, ”This concerns the descendants of the Royal Family Do you think this would be so sinificant people as to whom he should marry? The Emperor's sisters and uncles may be respected people, but they do not have any influence! Do you think His Majesty would listen to them and propose to Seth's sister? If it was because of pressure, why did the Eive up after Nicole turned down the proposal? If he does not sincerely want to marry Nicole, why did he not take this chance to cancel the iven up?”
Rody showed a thoughtful expression and said, ”You ed his attitude He wants to win over the Tulip Family?”
Myka showed some doubts in her eyes and replied, ”His attitude has certainly changed However, I do not know the reason” Myka suddenly laughed and showed a strange expression ”All the sling oaf Hmph Abbas XI does not even have one tenth of Abbas the Great's talent If it were the other E the loyalty of a powerful subordinate like the Tulip Fa the Empire No matter what, they would try and provide the best treatment so that the Tulip Family would forever remain the pillars that support the E He is persistently trying to s worse for himself”
Rody was silent for aabout these things” He laughed reluctantly Although it was laughter, there was no pleasure in it
Myka gently sighed ”I know… You are still thinking of Nicole Are you worried about her? Are you more worried when I said that the Eh the Tulip Family?”
Rody looked into Myka's deep gaze For some reason, he felt an ache in his chest He then slowly nodded his head
Myka was startled for a while, and then she smiled ”It is unfortunate that you came here secretly The last ti that I have been practicing However, it looks like this is not possible today”
Rody also s Make sure you leave and go to that place tomorrow There will be ”
Myka turned red and whispered, ”I know”
Rody looked at Myka He suddenly flushed and whispered, ”Myka, on ry I felt dizzy as if I was a headless housefly However, I have cal you Really really thank you”
After saying that, Rody glanced at Myka and then turned around to leave Myka followed him to the door She then opened the door to make sure that was nobody outside After that, she let Rody out
When Myka was once again alone in her room, she leaned on the door and showed a cohed and whispered, ”Fool!”
Rody kept his head low as he quickly walked through the corridor Other than two drunks, nobody else noticed him However, just as he reached the stairs, he saw Mada up Rody was shocked and immediately turned towards another corridor Unexpectedly, there were two guards in front of a closed door at the end of the corridor They were looking around and beca
In front of Rody were the two guards, and behind hi the stairs Rody gritted his teeth and immediately saw a door next to him He desperately walked over and firmly pushed it open
When the door opened, Rody immediately exclaimed in his heart Lucky! Rody then entered the room and closed the door
The guards at the end of the corridor saw the person entering another door and thought he was just another guest They then stopped paying attention to that person After that, they saw Madam Sophie arrive and immediately moved out of the way for her to enter

Outside the building and below the , there was a narrow ledge Rody stood on the ledge and ht time, and he was in the backyard of the brothel nobody from inside would come here Occasionally, there were one or two servants, but they would also not look up

As Rody carefully hter andfroot closer to the iron pipe
His current health was far froradually becoht He seemed like a useless person Not to iven to hiy He felt weak after htest movement He could not help but curse Andy
Finally, he was relieved when he reached the iron pipe He was about to slide dohen he sao servants walk by Rody immediately turned stiff and did not dare to move However, the two servants stopped and stood below Rody They started joking with each other It looked like they were goofing off
Rody felt anxious He suddenly heard a familiar voice
”Your Excellency the Earl, goodbye!1”

Rody's mind went blank for a moment and then immediately recovered The voice ca on
Rody was startled However, he pressed his ear to theFrouessed that there were a lot of people in there
”Young Master Bayan, please send ards to the Prince Thank you for your hospitality today I will return the favor sohed Rody felt that his voice sounded familiar He then realized it was the Empire's Finance Minister, Didi's father, Earl Merlow
He realized that the reason Bayan got close to Didi naturally was to win the support of the Finance Minister Obviously, it was not surprising for them to be here

After a while, the room slowly quieted down Suddenly, Bayan said, ”Send two people to follow the dumb I don't feel at ease with them”

As soon as Rody squatted down, the as immediately pushed open Bayan stood there and looked around before closing the

There will trouble if someone hears what you just said!” Bayan voiced his dissatisfaction He was displeased at the va 'mere human' Bayan snorted coldly and continued, ”Our relationshi+p is, after all, a secret When you are outside, do not speak like a 'va to attract the attention of the priests?”
The vampire was unhappy and rebutted, ”Why are you worried about those religious trash?”
Bayan gave a weird tone and replied, ”Trash? I asked you to get rid of Seth, but only a few of you ed to return Let us see how Simao would punish you when he returns from the South”
The vaer spoke
Bayan then realised that his words were too harsh and gently said, ”My father was also disappointed that this was not well ed However, it see Seth The Tulip Family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years Naturally, they would have connections This was our miscalculation We cannot blame you entirely However, you must still be careful not to reveal your identity as a vampire If it were known that our fa with each other, ould all die together
