Chapter 166 (1/2)

”Rody Can I ask you so a private moment with Rody in the room

Rody gently stroked Nicole's hair as he smelled it ”What is it?” Rody felt relaxed at the moment He was in the study room of the Duke's mansion nobody would enter this place without permission That hy Rody felt at ease as he held his lover and asked, ”What do you wish to ask?”

Nicole's hair was scattered andher face to itch She whispered, ”You are getting bolder…” She looked at the flames in Rody's eyes, and she blushed She then said, ”I have so to ask”

Rody sighed and eave a wry smile and said, ”Well, just ask”

Nicole looked a bit dejected and said, ”Actually, froure it out Everything had happened so suddenly, forcing us to take this path Rody, do you think that it was right or wrong of us to support the Empress?”

”What's wrong?” Rody laughed

Nicole sighed and said, ”Andy's words todayJust to protect the Empress alone and support the Empress out of friendshi+p we created this ht to do that?”

Rody raised his eyebrows and laughed, but he did not reply

Nicole sighed and continued, ”If Andy did not suddenly appear, what happened today would beco would be inevitable I aedy when Abbas the Great ascended the throne When I think of this, I feel very frightened Even though we have hat about the afteroing to hand over the future of the E?”

Nicole felt depressed Suddenly, she noticed Rody was laughing profoundly Nicole could not help but glare at hi at?”

Rody shook his head and replied, ”What you just said is wrong”

”What?”

Rody said resolutely, ”What you just said is wrong” He then sighed and slowly let go of Nicole After that, he said, ”If I had to choose between Prince Barond or the baby as the Emperor, I would definitely not choose Prince Barond”

He then looked at Nicole and lightly said, ”Nicole, perhaps, I am not someone who thinks a lot I as and ould happen in the future However, I know that I would not choose Prince Barond to becoood person”

He paused for a moment and said, ”Maybe I am too selfish and only follow my emotions Barond colluded with the vampires, and the vampires had killed Jojo This fact already totally squashed all possibilities ofBarond I am someone who knoho to love and hate I don't care whether it is right or wrong! I only know that I would not support someone who cooperates with vampires to kill innocents! Besides that, the vampires did not only kill Jojo They also killed a lot of my men Either way, Barond is my enemy! He will never be my friend!”

Nicole started to laugh ”What you said is simple, but it also makes sense”

Rody shook his head and replied, ”No, Nicole, it is not sie look in his eyes and spoke softly:

”When a general is angry, all things wither;

When a king is angry, blood fills the river, and a thousand heads roll;

When you are in cos become worthless

He suddenly smiled and said, ”Nicole, do you knohat that means?”

Nicole frowned and replied, ”I do not know These words sound strange What kind of words are these? What does it mean?”

Rody smiled faintly, ”These words ca Theis very simple When a person stands on top and becomes powerful, in his eyes, all hu and unimportant A person like that would decide the fate ofon his mood Nicole, don't you think this is terrible?”

He then laughed bitterly and said, ”When I beca time to consider all ive a wrong order, ht now, I am still just a Duke But what if I were an E would be fine However, if the Emperor is a bastard, the people would then suffer a lot! Abbas XI eous Although he was muddled, the Empire was only in decline and did not collapse However, if Barond replaces him, I shudder to think of the results Barond had cooperated with the vampires To him, lives were even less valuable than trash, and all sorts of scheood people If he becaht not just beco The Empire could very well collapse!”

Nicole opened her ht so much?”

Rody shook his head and replied, ”I also do not like to think so ht in front of me and I was forced to think about it I was forced by you to study I read a lot of books and learnedHowever, the more I think, the more upset I became”

Nicole lowered her head and thought to herself for a moment before she said, ”Then, since you think Barond's rule would not work, why did you not agree to cooperate with Seth?”

Rody sternly said, ”Hating Barond is one matter However, for me to cooperate with Seth is an entirely different matter! It appeared like I finally use the way Seth recoo according to Seth's plan This is why, at that tiree with Seth!”

Rody then laughed bitterly and said, ”I know that there are a lot of tis There are times that situations would become smoother if I had compromised a little However, I cannot convince ive him my promise, I would become his pawn I would live under his shadow Nicole… Did you know? I really hate this face right noould not wear this ain if it were not for you”

Nicole's eyes seemed moist as she whispered, ”I know”

Rody gently pulled Nicole's hand and said, ”Let me tell you On that day, if Andy had not appeared, I would have fought to kill Barond! However, I would not have supported the Empress' child to succeed the throne after Barond is dead!”

”What?” Nicole was shocked ”Are you serious? Then, why did you still act according toBarond?”

Rody shook his head and replied, ”I do not know I have not thought it through However, I wouldE Emperor Unfortunately…” He then whispered ”Unfortunately, the Eer, she could have just become the Emperor Or perhaps we could have just taken another suitable person from the Thorn Flower Family to succeed the throne I heard that the Thorn Flower Family has many relatives Certainly, ould be able to find someone suitable”

Nicole could not help but laugh ”The E the Emperor? How did you think of that? Was there ever a woman that became Emperor? Find someone else to become an Emperor? This is even crazier!”

Rody objected and said, ”Why not? The rules of this world were set by men Why can't we just set an additional rule? Are these rules unchangeable? I will change it!”

Nicole was surprised and revealed a strange expression ”You have really changed… But did you not think … rather than finding soht as well be the Emperor, yourself!”

Nicole's last sentence shocked both Rody and herself Why did I say such things? Even if this idea appeared in my head, I should not have said it

However, the moment Nicole said this, she also trembled in her heart This idea could not be considered as 'crazy'

The Duke of the Tulip Fa Prince Barond At the same time, he would have the respect of the Empire's subjects Finally, it would not be impossible to become an Emperor
