The Bardi Ea-e about the fact that a major conflict had erupted within their own borders

Everything that had happened at Port Victoria had already been learned by the Bardi Eh various infor incited by certain parties, even the co this sudden battle out on the streets—it wasn’t limited to the nobles

The current hottest topic was about how the Undead Planes had been connected to Port Victoria and that the undead armies had arrived The topic became even hotter when one of the elders of the House of nobles, in utter disbelief, deht Archduke Halent This had enraged Halent to the point where he bloodied that noble’sa s into that very noble’s h Halent would have to pay a price—e and house arrest for half a year—that unfortunate noble ant enough to openly swear revenge upon Halent And so, that noble’s luxurious on… Yep, we all knehat that was really about

“Look, it’s those undead!”

Halent’s memory crystal, which contained vivid scene of endless aain by all the highest-level members of the Bardi Empire Descriptions of as in it spread everywhere The prevailing attitude in the Bardi Eh-level undead in the royal capital started having a difficult tiest trouble for the undead in the capital was due to the series of events set in motion by Emperor Aso’s death

In order to better control the situation, h-level undead in the capital were Aso’s direct subordinates who had signed soul contracts where they would die together with their master When Emperor Aso died, the undead that suddenly died with him astonished the fortunate survivors and made them tremble in fear After all, in their minds, Undead Emperors were just like True Gods; they were considered undying, immortal existences To them, it was as if the very sky had fallen

Since the Desecration Plane was the first Undead Plane to have connected to the mortal plane, most of the undead that had arrived were froe co withof the mid-level and lower-level employees as a result was only natural

At this critical ’s sudden increase in hostility towards the undead made the undead feel all the more lost for what to do They became extra cautious in every little action they took as they were afraid of further increasing the enmity towards them

Meanwhile, the most incomprehensible of all hat the

While he angrily condemned Halent’s ridiculous actions and didn’t accept Halent’s request to ive Halent any punish the undead with platitudes but didn’t take any actual actions to control the ru around His attitude was forceful as always yet his actions were self-contradictory

While the capital was busy with the chaos of the storm of rumors, Orloss would either shut hio out for so His retainers didn’t understand just what their venerated e at all

Currently, a sudden rainstoran and ended in just an instant

“Speak! Who sent you here to assassinate His Majesty Emperor Orloss? The 26th Prince? The 8th Prince?”

The assassin’s liround had far surpassed the lethal amount He was likely to die at any uard continued his interrogation without skipping a beat

“…It was the 8th Prince!! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I’ve already told you who it was, please help uard received an answer, he ignored the assassin’s pleas for help and directly reported it to E if they should keep this only assassin that survived out of the group that had ambushed theuard to si to askthe truth”

In Orloss’s carriage was Halent who should have been at his ho with the e in Orloss’s carriage The third and final person was a black-robed e who always followed Ee see

Halent wasn’t at all surprised by the surprise invitation and the ambush attempt on Orloss After all, if Orloss the 13th didn’t have so hi been assassinated

“It’s less I meet with assassination attempts once or twice every week Those who dare to try assassinating me—no—I should say that those who come to their deaths here are those who don’t care about their lives Since the assassin said that Little 8th was behind this, that means that apart from Little 8th, anyone else could be responsible No, actually, fro, they’ve all ress and have learned how to hide the truth within falsehood and make the truth seem like a lie, sofrom how Little 8th’s personality has become more and more extreme as of late, there’s over a seventy percent chance that his assassin was just acting there in order to pin the blame on one of his brothers Ha! Little 8th’s becoh he was clearly talking about so as unfortunate as the fact that his adopted princes wanted to kill hienial fashi+on He even sounded proud of the princes It was as if he was an elder praising his children for being capable and filial

From a certain standpoint, he was indeed quite proud The fact that his twentyish adopted princes kept plotting and sche that this seely kind old man personally put the such a method to choose his successor

Halent didn’t reply to this as he didn’t intend to care about anything in the royal palace, and nor did he have any interest He was simply interested in why the emperor suddenly invited him over in secret, but whenever hewith the undead in the west part of the Bardi Empire, the old emperor would only mysteriously smile and say, “You’ll find out soon in a bit”

Actually, due to certain reasons, Emperor Orloss was in quite an excellent ia as he looked at the rain outside his carriage

About thirty years ago, on a rainy night just like today’s, there was also yet another internal struggle within the royal palace that had left hie of death At that tiness to die, which e his fate

From that day onwards, the Orloss asn’t so respected and feared in the past possessed the secret power he received froradually reached the peak of imperial authority By today, his achievements and authority had far surpassed any Bardi Emperor in history However, only he himself knew that he had to pay a price for that assistance he received in the past And this debtor wouldn’t be easy to deal with

Of course, hoould an a individual like Orloss, as capable of ainst and kill each other to deter controlled by someone else? Orloss always had his own plans and powerful weapons available to him, unbeknownst to all
