Chapter 150 (1/2)
Bayan's father, Prince Barond, lives in a mansion located at the western side of the Imperial Capital
That area here all the rich and powerful families in the Empire live They were unlike the common nobles and ministers of the Empire Those families all had many kinds of connection with the Imperial Family
The law for inheriting the titles of the nobles in the Radiant Empire was strict The nobles could not inherit their titles if they were incoo by the Sage Dandong to ensure that the people working at the upper class of the E with many enemies
Alest enemy That was the case when he was alive, and even after his death, he was still hated
Of course, like all things, there were nobles ere happy and those ere unhappy That law that Dandong implemented was hated by the common nobles, but it was like a wonderful dream to the Imperial nobles
Why?
That was because the inheritance law only applied to the ordinary nobles and did not apply to the Imperial nobles
In other words, the Imperial nobles were not within the jurisdiction of that law The inheritance of the Imperial noble titles were unrestricted
In the Radiant Empire, there were nuiven birth to two generations of useless children That laas implemented to ensure that the Empire's center of poould have a healthy renewal and to ensure that the empire's poas not dominated by any particular powerful fanity of the Imperial powers
Similarly, to work as a senior official in the Empire, one must have an equally powerful title For example, the Finance Minister was an Earl, the Military Minister was a Marquis, and the Commander was the Duke
Officials without titles were minorities, and most of them were only low ranked officials
Without any title, a person would be unable to enter the high ranks of the Eh it was not written in the law, it was so understood by all
The existence of that law greatly limited the opportunity for the ordinary nobles to obtain power and authority in the Empire On the other hand, the Imperial families were not restricted by that law As a result, the Imperial families of the Empire flourished faster than the Imperial families of other countries
In fact, when Rody was training to become a Duke, Andy had also secretly complained that Abbas the Great also hoped to use this decree to preserve the Imperial families' power and limit the development of the other nobles
As a result of this, they wereof the nobles
The ordinary nobles lived at the East of the Victory Square while those with relationshi+ps to the Imperial Family lived at the West of Victory Square
Rody alking through the streets at night The streets ide enough to accoed to the rich and powerful fae doors Those doors were decorated with their fanias were golden They were symbols of the Imperial Families' honor
In the Enia The only exception to that was the Tulip Family However, if the Eolden insignia would be worthy of its name
Prince Barond was the Eer brother from the sah there were other princes and uncles in the family, none of them had as much influence as Prince Barond
Besides that, Prince Barond was aathered a lot of support fros Naturally, the only person who did not know that was the stupid Emperor He tried too hard to suppress the Tulip Faht As a result, he did not expect the biggest threat to be within his own family
”Let hed He was already standing in front of the door to Prince Barond's mansion
Prince Barond's inations The building was really not just a mansion - it was actually a small castle, a small palace!
It had a tall fence with a huge gate ate It seenia was cleaned every day As a result, it shi+ned brightly even in the night
Not far froh it was very luxurious, Rody, as a soldier, could also see that the small castle played a militaristic role
The sold Rather than calling it a luxurious residence, it would be olden military fortress
Rody shook his head and sighed ”Such an obvious move, yet the Emperor could not see it Why else would a Prince turn his home into a military fortress?”
Based on a general estimate, Rody was sure that, previously, if he wanted to capture this place with his elite Wolf Fang soldiers, he would need several h provisions inside the castle
The strong and bulky rock was not so that could be destroyed by ordinary arrows and catapults Besides that, arrow crenels was built on the surrounding of the castle
Rody jumped over the walls from outside
After he landed, he realized that there were aluards on patrol However, he also noticed that by standing in the roos could easily be seen
The outside was lax, but the inside was strict No wonder there was no need for patrols
Rody did not bother to hide hiht to the castle
On one side, not far froe pond Like all the other noble mansions, there were a lot of ornalance, Rody found a problem
Surrounding the castle was a deep trench A row of a kind of tall, flowery plant was planted to hide the trench from public eyes The entire castle appeared to be surrounded by an ocean of flowers However, if so open the pond, and the pond water would flow into the trench and turn it into a natural moat
”It is certainly not so sined this castle ood military talent They probably had already planned to usurp the throne when they started constructing this castle”
As Rody walked forith both his hand behind hiroups of soldiers rushed out from the sides of the castle With swords in their hands, they charged at Rody
Rody then heard a loud rebuke and suddenly laughed He looked at the surrounding flowers and lightly said, ”I wonder ill happen when these flowers are covered in blood”
Bayan had returned very early that night
He had immediately left the moment he was eavesdropped on at the brothel He was extremely confident of Madam Sophie
This person needed to climb the wall to eavesdrop and is likely to be someone without ability But why hasn't Sophie returned?
Rody, the Vaht far away froh the battle was earth-shattering with thunders and lightnings, the people in the city did not notice At ood weather suddenly turned bad There were a few flashes of lightning before the weather turned back to normal
Bayan held a glass with one hand and a prettyher face
However, his heart seeht of that person in the brothel I will go there again tomorrow This time, I will not let her escape!
In front of Bayan was a grulass filled with red liquid However, this was not wine
The vampire licked the blood from his mouth His blood red eyes continued to stare at the maid in Bayan's arms Bayan smiled coldly before he suddenly stood up and forcefully pushed the maid in his arms to the vampire ”Take it!”
Having said that, Bayan leisurely walked out, still holding the glass in his hands He then heard a short and miserable cry from behind him
Bayan held the glass as he stood at the corridor and looked at the sky His heart felt weird
Why a is about to happen…
He then looked at his surroundings and laughed This place is extreuards and even strong vampires What am I afraid of? This place is even safer than the Imperial Palace!
Just as Bayan was thinking about that, he i that surprised him
He saw a figure lightly ju like a leaf into the prince's residence
The figure then leisurely walked around the pond and looking at the flowers as if he alking in his own garden
