Chapter 154 (1/2)
A few of the Bishops and Elders laughed as they praised, ”We did not expect that the warrior of the Imperial Family was truly so powerful It seems that our Radiant Empire finally has a new Sacred Swordsnity of the True God in his sanctuary These heathens in the north better be careful! Our strength will be greatly increased in the next holy war”
The Pope remained calm as he listened to the praises of the others There was not a trace of adht be powerful, but is he really a pious believer? Moreover, is he really just a simple Sacred Swordsman?”
The Pope then looked at the Dracula Spear on the ground and raised his eyebrows Whatever the case, we have killed a vaendary artifact This is a happy outcome
Half the streets outside Prince Barond's mansion were torn apart In addition to that, the round The outer walls were already destroyed Even half of the sturdy castle was destroyed and the re Bayan and hundreds of his private warriors were either dead or scattered everywhere The other Imperial nobles' luxurious mansions that were near the Prince's palace were also affected Many buildings collapsed and even the walls were destroyed Some of the rock-slabs in the half of the street nearest to the fighting site had been lifted off the ground
Rody and Master Autumn walked out and saw that several teams of security soldiers in the Imperial Capital had already arrived They had arrived a little bit late, and at that moment, the place was in a mess
The leader of the public security soldiers was deathly pale The last time, there was an assassination attempt on the Duke of the Tulip Family, which had almost forced him to commit suicide Finally, he aled to solve that crisis The current situation orse The whole Prince Barond's mansion had already turned into scorched earth, and that actually happen inside the Imperial Capital From the looks of it, there were not many still left alive
A group of low ranked uard outside They told hi demons The leader of the security soldiers then started to silently pray He prayed for the Prince to be safe Otherwise, as the one in charge of public security, he would have no choice but to slit his own throat
As thetowards him from the end of the street The leader of the security soldiers rushed forward as if he saw his savior and clung to Master Autumn
Master Autumn looked at hi havoc in there and had been killed You do not have to worry about this matter It is not your responsibility”
Thewords once again made him turn pale
Master Autu Master Bayan had died for the nation”
These words round immediately His Majesty the Ery, would I, the person in charge of the Empire's safety, still be able to live?
Master Autuhed and said, ”You don't need to be afraid In this ry In fact, he would be quite happy”
After that, Master Autumn left behind the baffled leader of the security soldiers and continued on with Rody ThatMaster Bayan His Majesty's blood nephew? Why would His Majesty be happy about his death?”
This kind of higher rank stuff was not so a mere low rank leader of the security soldiers could understand
Master Autumn's words were later confirmed when His Majesty did not pursue the leader of the security soldiers Instead, a written co the matter properly and for his meritorious service The confused leader of the security soldiers then thought to hi in the Imperial Academy, my teacher had told er These words are true The Emperor's actions are hard to understand
Naturally, that is another story
Rody followed Master Autuhter Outside of the residence of the Imperial nobles, the other people on the streets were continuing their days nor strike the night before When they heard the news that the noble mansions were destroyed, they felt happy Hant! This is a joyous occasion
The people in the streets and the alleys continued to gossip The only difference was that there were more security soldiers than usual
Now that the sky was bright, they could no longer just fly around Rody simply followed Master Autumn all the way out of the city to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital
They then stopped in front of a small house outside of the city
”This is my home” Master Autumn spoke calmly ”It is my former home”
They walked into the courtyard and found it depressing and rundown The ground was filled with fallen leaves and looked as if nobody had been there for a long tihtly said, ”Now, I mostly live inside the palace I don't come here as often as before However, this place is quiet It is safe here…” Master Autumn suddenly looked sharp and said slowly, ”… Duke of the Tulip Family”
Rody was startled His expression ied as he stepped back He then looked at Master Autumn in surprise
”Is it strange?” Master Autue Why did the talentless Seth suddenly became an invincible warrior in the Northwest and the new Duke of the Tulip Faht and your swordsmanshi+p, I remembered that Nicole had asked ure it out by then”
”Are you so sure of this with just that inforilantly
Master Autuh and said, ”At first, I could not confir”
”What is it?”
”Do you remember the assessuard, but I was hidden in the dark At that tiy froure it out, but now I could understand it This is because your body's fighting energy was cultivated frohed calmly as he reassured Rody ”Do not worry I will not harm you”
Rody looked at Master Autuained a sense of trust He then relaxed and stopped clenching his fist
Master Autuon on your body?”
Rody shook his head and replied, ”That is a long story… I… ”
Master Autu you You do not have to give me an answer In fact, I liked you since the first ti warriors I have er”
Master Autumn paused for a while and then spoke in a pleasant ht now This radually became serious and said, ”However, you should not have created such a ruckus in the I such a ruckus here would give you a lot of trouble”
Rody's became more stubborn He raised his eyebrow and shouted, ”Why not? I want to make a lot of trouble and destroy those scoundrels!” Rody paused for a ht to Master Autumn
Master Autumn calmly listened to Rody Even when he heard the news of Jojo's death, he only raised his eyebroithout interrupting Rody
”Is that why you recklessly created havoc?” Master Autumn shook his head when Rody had finished his story ”You are still too young There are a lot of things that cannot be solved with just the drive to do so I was like you when I was younger I had thought that I could solve anything with my sword However, this is not the case in reality”
He then showed a bleak expression and laughed hesitantly ”I cannot explain to you much about this… I… do not have much time left here” There was a moment of silence before he s over his stubborn son as he asked softly, ”Let me ask you You had returned from the South for Miss Nicole However, what do you think would be the consequences of your rash actions?”
Rody froze for a moment and did not speak
Master Autumn continued, ”Miss Nicole placed a lot of importance into the family Otherwise, she would not have e In fact, this was a mistake For your sake, Miss Nicole refused the Emperor's proposal This is already a difficult matter If she really only wanted to revive her fae, she would have already accepted his proposal However, why did she not send word to you? This is because she was afraid that you would go back to the Imperial Capital and make the Emperor anxious What do you think the consequences of your actions would be? What are the charges for generals that returned to the Imperial Capital without the Emperor's orders? This was an iron-cast law that has been in place since Abbas the Great's rule!”
”Once you have created such a ruckus, you are no longer the Duke of the Tulip Family You threay that identity to be with Miss Nicole That is a good thing But what do you think would happen after that? Will you elope with Miss Nicole? Will you allow the Tulip Family's name to fall?”
