The Imperial Capital was in chaos for a few days Besides the news of the death of the Emperor's nephew, there was another news that inally in a fairly goodthe news The neas that the Empire's most famous beautiful wo
After ations, they finally found that Miss Jojo had left the city with soht just before the surprise attack at the Prince's residence She was supposed to leave the city for her family residence outside the city However, there was no news after she had left the city
The guards at the city gates had reported that they saw Miss Jojo's carriage leaving that evening However, they did not see her return Those at Miss Jojo's small family residence also said that Miss Jojo had never returned to the residence
So, Miss Jojo and her teauards had just disappeared into thin air
The leader of the security soldiers had just received two orders from the Eood work for dealing with the aftermath of the attack at the Prince's residence The second order was for these soldiers to immediately search for Miss Jojo's whereabouts
Besides that, the Emperor had also dispatched thousands of the Imperial cavalrymen out of the Imperial Capital to search for Miss Jojo in all directions It was said that even the personal guards of the Iicians and warriors were also dispatched to look for Miss Jojo
Master Autumn stayed silent as he watched these people busy themselves He already knew that Jojo was dead Her body was also hidden by Rody However, he did not knohere Rody hid the body Rody had never told hi
After the uproar, His Majesty the Ee with Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family Instead, almost the entire Imperial Capital was turned upside down Naturally, this was not because of Bayan's death Bayan's death was not exactly good news for the Eh to escape, he no longer entered the Imperial Palace Instead, he left the Imperial Capital to hide in one of his private residences on the outskirt of the city
The nobles that knew about the secret fight for the throne and had originally taken Prince Barond's side now all tried to express their loyalties to the Emperor They did that to protect thenored them The Emperor's eyes were red as he continued to wait for Miss Jojo to return
”The Emperor is a fool”
In a certain corner of a certain roolass He laughed as he slowly said, ”Although I am not too sure who destroyed the Prince's residence, but that fellow Rody had suddenly disappeared This incident is most likely related to him”
Mark was lazily leaning on a chair as if his entire body ithout energy He shook the ehtly said, ”The Emperor has always been an idiot, but what is the point of saying this?”
Seth's handsoe expression ”If I were the Emperor, this would be the best time to rebuild my influence and uproot the opposition! The Prince's residence had been destroyed by soain for the Eht now is that he does not have an heir Bayan is a descendant of royal blood His father is also one of the late Emperor's son If the Emperor still does not have a son in the future, the throne would belong to Bayan The E, even if he was unwilling Prince Barond's efforts in arrogantly winning over the support of the nobles in the Imperial Capital meant that he knew the Emperor's weakness!”
Mark coldly replied, ”In my opinion, that Prince Barond has an intellectual proble to his son in the future, what is the point of all the petty tricks? Aren't they unnecessary?”
Seth sighed and shook his head ”It was not unnecessary at all!” He exposed a cold s in the battle for the throne? His Majesty the E up the throne to others Naturally, that means he also wants an heir to inherit the throne Unfortunately, he has no son That hy he had to suppress the Prince and his faction Sigh…” Seth sighed ”Prince Barond also had no choice but to desperately expand his own strength The Emperor was like a thorn to both Prince Barond and his son He also knew that the E rid of the Tulip Family and had not noticed their actions Prince Barond was ood use of tiain more influence in the Iainst the Emperor in the future”
Old Mark sighed again He knew that the bottle in his hand was e the bottle to his mouth
Seth's gaze looked a bit complicated ”What a pity All the people I st idiots He had the Tulip Family to support the Empire as pillars, but he did not kno to make the most of that Instead, he intentionally tried to pull down those pillars Now, he is not using the opportunity to strengthen his position He ignored Prince Barond and was putting all his resources into searching for Miss Jojo Besides that, there is also Rody! I tried so hard to persuade him that day, but that fool did not listen! Now the Ih…”
Old Mark suddenly looked at Seth and coldly said, ”Don't you think that your words are very strange?”
”Oh?”
Old Mark lightly said, ”I don't care if the Emperor is a fool Whether he wants the throne or that woh… You said that you had persuaded hi a Duke For whose sake did you try and convince him? Isn't it for your own sake? This is because you want to escape your own responsibility!”
Seth laughed His expression did not change ”Do you think I am too selfish?”
”Yes” Old Mark was still lazing on the chair, but his eyes had turned sharp ”Who is Rody? He is just someone that is unrelated to all these You intentionally made him the Duke of the Tulip Family for the sake of the Empire and for the sake of the survival of the Tulip Faht, he had to kill… For what? Now he is a skilled person that could defeat Reuenthal in the Northwest He could also use the 'Lightning God's Whip' to get rid of all the rebels at the Westwood province Do you intend to chain this person up and force him to work himself to the bone for your family for the rest of his life?”
Seth's s as he quietly listened to Old Mark He then slowly said, ”Do you think I have gone too far?”
Seth suddenly sighed and walked to theHe looked at the sky and murmured, ”Am I really too selfish?”
He then gave a strange laugh ”But, why does the Tulip Family forever have to be the one to protect the Empire and the Radiant continent? Why must the Tulip Family bear this heavy burden? Everyone says that the Tulip Family will protect the Radiant Continent but ill protect the Tulip Family? For centuries, the Tulip Family has been the fence, the castle and the pillars! But… For what? Why does that stupid thorny flower fauards1? Abbas XI is obviously a fool! Why do we need to risk our lives for him?”
”Is that why you hed coldly
Seth's expression was cal for centuries It is about time for it to co with that?”
”Don't you think you are contradicting yourself?” Old Mark frowned ”You do not want to risk your life for the Emperor So why must Rody risk his life instead? I also don't see any new banner If Rody continues to pose as the Duke, it will still be the Tulip Fa!”
Seth shook his head and said softly, ”You do not understand… You do not understand” He then laughed and said, ”Rody is a very suitable person for this He is brave but soft-hearted He is determined, but he has his own principles Such a person is suitable to be the Regiment Commander of the Empire The Empire also still needs the Tulip Faer have a need for the Tulip Family At that time, the Tulip Family can safely disappear”
”A few years? Disappear?” Mark shook his head ”What are your intentions?”
Seth lightly replied, ”I will not harm Rody, and I will also not chain hi hihed and continued, ”Unfortunately, I cannot become like him I have already said this before I cannot becoiiment Commander of the Tulip Family is someone that stands under the sun and is an idol admired by iment Commander of the Tulip Family needs to be brave It is a pity that I am not brave I do not even want to see blood Even if you take iht, but I prefer to use irregular ht now, if there was an enemy in front of us, e their opponent They would use the proper way to defeat their opponent That is the heroic way However, I prefer to use different methods”
He turned to look at Old Mark and lightly said, ”So I like wine and pretty wo Unfortunately, to be a hero and to be admired by millions of people is out of bound for me”
”Nonsense!” Old Mark snorted in contempt ”Who said heroes cannot like pretty wo affairs with pretty women?”
