Chapter 48 (1/2)
The Prince and the group left Dopter the nextFro as the team has not reached the territory of the Narcissus, then they were still in danger
The Prince accepted his et on with the journey There was no better solution than this at thelad did not knoould happen in District Seven Under the current situation, heading to areas within the influence of his father was the best choice
The Commander of the First Arhts planned a plausible route together The Prince was in shock the first time he took a look at this plan The preparation of this plan was perfect, but the young lad noticed that there was a long list of army troops ill be involved in the plan
”Is there a need to have so hness Prince O'Neil Andrew Morisette raised the doubts in his heart He was not very good ata few aro was an extremely troublesome matter to achieve
”Yes, Your Highness!” The Commander of the First Ar journey without further delay A troop of guards cannot stand ested that all troops on this journey take on the duty of protection together They can first eli that can threaten your safety within five kilometres of both sides of the road Also, they can replace the exhausted troop with their strong energy”
With this strategy, the Prince brought a whole troop of Mountain Corps auarantee of the Commander After the troops left Dopter, they followed the north coast of the Rillson Drake Lake and entered the land of Rylie Province People believed that the Military District Seven coency protocol Regardless of the smooth official road or the twistedexcept for the extremely cautious Guards!
The carriages of the Prince did not pause for even a single ed their shi+fts were they able to receive a half-day rest The route taken by the First Ar Department in District Seven, so the troops on this route are already in place
The Guards truly have enjoyed peaceful days for a long time, but their potential was fully manifested under the influence of the titan soldiers' strict work ethics All the soldiers realized that this was no less than an actual war Maybe the as not even as exciting of a prospect as ensuring the safety of the royal family members
At a se called Lacirra, the Princess and the Prince met with all the officers in the Military District Seven and in Rylie Province These Sirs did not dare to delay the schedule of the troop, so they rushed to this hunter's village that was less than ten kilometres from the capital of the province When they met, the scene was actually rather chaotic Under the leadershi+p of the Commander of the District Seven, all military officers had to count their sins in front of these two people; under the leadershi+p of the Governor of Rylie Province, the politicians kept acting nice and good without feeling eood so-called officers, the Prince only found one guy who appeared to be capable and smart
”Let me introduce to you This is the Action Officer of the Secret Service Department in the Ministry of Justice who is based in Rylie Province, Baron Messier De Quixote,” The Prince raised his hand and pointed to the Action Officer by his side
”This is my butler, also my assistant on family matters, Baron Erbe”
After the introduction of the Prince, the two Barons greeted each other politely Baron Messier appeared unscrupulous while Baron Erbe kept a good balance of not letting his surprise show After all, Ricky could never ood composure in front of an Action Officer of the Secret Service no enius cheater was sent into Daht years He must be very smart to be able to become an Action Officer at a province
Baron Messier has taken care of the secret service matters in Rylie Province for four years He al about this place But he had no idea about the assassination attempt of the Princess and the Prince before this Prince O'Neil thought it was funny as he looked at Baron Messier who attelected his duty As a person-in-charge of the secret service in a province, this Baron has to bear inescapable responsibility on this case
The troop advanced forward in thequeue of the mountain warriors seeathered all eight Paladins froe of the big shots even for a second
The long journey exhausted the little Prince The violent shaking of the carriage caused pain his whole body that see away, but the inner and outer injuries on his body still needed some time to heal
”Sir Baron, I believe you knohy I invited you to finish this journey with me” Oscar said this cal on thesub-consciously
”Yes! You s to instructside burns and light yellow ether
”Are you froed to another question He seemed to be more interested in the looks of this officer from the secret service
This Baron apparently still could not get used to the erratic thinking ”Er Yes! Are you able to see this? My hometown is the Senra County at the northeast of the Eht! The southeast of my hometoas the territory of your family”
The Prince nodded ”Why would you accept a position at Rylie thousands of miles away?”
Messier sation of public service roles of the Empire has always been this way To prevent the officers from abuse of power, the Royal Secretariat has decided that all officers on duty must stay far away from their family Also, the period of duty for the officers is also lih that period at a certain place, the Royal Secretariat will delegate a change of role within the confines of the whole country”
”Hehe, I understand now! The officer rotation syste the officers Then as an officer of the Secret Service Department, do you think this sort of systes?” Oscar realized the expression of Baron Messier changed a little The young lad could not help but add: ”I hope that you can speak the truth You are responsible for the secret service You should have the right to speak in this sort of things”
Baron Messier did not feel troubled by this He was only feeling sorry for this young Prince This young lad was truly as described by the outside world Innocent, naïve, but still possessing the devil's aura in Da lad was far from the wide, realistic world
”Hehe, Your Highness, this question is truly hard to be answered But you should knohat happened in the Capital lately Even though that did not threaten the ruling of the His Majesty, but the current political situation in Dulin can only be described as chaotic”
Oscar seeotten that the chaos in Dulin was all caused by hiainst the Secretary of State and the Brickfields family, then all of these would not have happened
”Youincident caused by the Brickfield fa lad wanted to end this conversation He intuitively wanted to avoid this topic because this incident completely exposed his immaturity in politics
”Cleansing? Your Highness, I h” Baron Messier shook his head as he said ”That was a strongly directed cleansing activity! His Majesty the Ehest officer in the Secret Service Departh officers from key departments of the country had to be relieved of their duty, even though those nobles who have hundred years of history were all crushed, the processes in the Capital and each of the departments still carried on And that is to say, soest iet”
”Wait!” Oscar interrupted the Baron ”What you mean seems to be that this action will not receive a very obvious return?”
”Yes!” Baron Messier replied the Prince, extremely sure of this ”Why would Dulin be chaotic? There are two very siuys who received bribes are acting all over the place in fright They would, of course, think of any possible way to get out of thisthe excellent role that suddenly got freed up They will certainly think of any possible way to attain a better role in this new delegation of roles”
Oscar truly regretted his revenge at thisof the ex-Secretary of State would cause such trouble Actually, this was not the true reason he regretted his action He felt that all of this did not involve hi a small territory where he could work in the dark, he did not receive any other benefits The young lad, who felt like he did not benefit enough, began to reflect on his plan that he deemed as smart for the first time
A conclusion! Oscar did not want to accept this, but after all these days of life, he has to adanization of the nobles in the Capital, it seenorant as he was
”Let's Let's not talk about this!” The Prince spitted these words after a long while The commands of the officers of the Mountain Corps could be heard froes have entered another region of forest
”Let's not talk about this!” The Prince repeated his words He did not want to recount his own mistakes ”Let's talk about the assassination case this time around Didn't my butler told you about the words of those mercenaries? What do you think of it?”
”Hehe! Your Highness, you have asked the wrong person! I don't even dare to look!” The Action Officer of the Secret Service Departly
”Why do you say that? Could it be that you don't think there is a need to carry out an investigation?”
Baron Messier adjusted his expression ”Of course not! Your Highness! You should believe me I hope more than anyone else to find out the true manipulator behind this, but do you know that? I have already received a hearing order frohest prosecutor in the Empire's Ministry of Justice”
”Hearing order? What is that?” The Prince asked in confusion
”Hehe, Your Highness! The Law of titan states that any officer who has received the hearing order is i order is the highest court order given to officers who are suspected to have co, under the principles of justness, fairness and openness, these officers are able to defend themselves in front of the line of prosecutors The line of prosecutors will judge whether they will be punished according to the description of these officers”
”Wait! I re lad sat upright It was his first tial action taken towards officers by the Empire on the basis of the 'Double Rules'
”Yes! The infa created by the nobles The hearing order is simply an indication that the officer is stripped of his duty and the whole key around this case is the hearing itself On the hearing order there is usually the ti So this is a special saying that at a designated time and location where the officer explains hihest authority”
”I understand! It is like thecarried out by the soldiers, whereas the punish”
”Yes! That is correct!”
”Then you're saying that you are not the Action Officer of the Secret Service Department based in Rylie Province anymore?” Oscar was a little shocked He did not think that a si of the Action Officer of Secret Service based in provinces was overnment On top of that, the relationshi+p of the Secret Service officers with the central Eovernment officers
”Yes! Just as I have said, I have already been stripped ofmy previous role”
Oscar stared at this ex-Action Officer for a long time He did not know that the action of the E order has already spread throughout the south!
”You can give me some hints I don't believe that you did not hear of any news about this matter I don't want to use my identity as the Prince to oppress you!”
Baron Messier knitted his eyebrows He has no necessity to mention matters that no one would believe to the Prince But as a Secret Service officer, he still thought that his guess was based on solid foundation
”Your Highness! Everything is simply my inference What I saybecause one off the assassination incident that you experienced”
”That's fine! Please go ahead!” Oscar was full of anticipation for this Secret Service officer
”According to my observation, the true person who is in control of the south of the Eovernment officers Nor our army Even us the Secret Service Department has to stand aside!”
Oscar excitedly held his fist He did not think that this Secret Service officer would directly speak of the key to the problem in his heart ”Then who may that be? Who is in control of the south?”
”The roup of inations!”
”Merchant?” Oscar gaped! This was truly an unexpected answer!
Night befell titan on time The black horizon advanced crazily in an unbelievable speed from the east to the west in this wide picture The East Border Andre the horns that signalled the lights to be switched off The wind laht on the endless rice field The mountains in the south fell into a deathly shadow The hills in the north were full of the footsteps of the guarding Knights at the border
At the centre of this picturesque view stood the greatest city in Westland, Dulin! The forest of buildings were still painted with the colour of the setting sun The fire of dinners shone out of the chi hot air challenged the patience of the people in every corner of the city
In the small manor at the countryside, this place is already far away from the noise of Dulin But at thisthe mind of the manor's owner
”Dadada!” ”Dadada!” The sound of the leather shoes knocking on the floor annoyed the old man the s that let out a loud sound when they walked About women, the old man pondered for a lifeti he lacked the most
”Father Father!”
The old o of the document in his hands He put on a friendly face towards the direction of the sound
The butler rushed to open the door of the study roo odour when she passed by him
”Father! What happened? Do you know this? Must be a big incident! Oh God! The Royal Secretariat is all out! The Army Division is all out! The Ministry of Justice is all out! Is our Edoms?”
The father, as called by this Madaave his daughter a hug happily and kissed the cheek of this Madame
”Erdogan! My precious! Don't be like a crazy girl! You must remember that you are the mother of two children, the Marquise of the Empire! Sit quietly here Tell me, what do you know?” Duke Kachev Drakas Ferdinand pressed his daughter onto the sofa He even got a cup of tea for his beautiful daughter
Marquise Erdogan Vas Ferdinand took the tea cup from her father To show her appreciation, she affectionately pulled the back of the hand of the old Duke and deeply kissed it
”Father! It is like this! This afternoon, that confidential secretary of the Emperor crashed into my bedroom Oh God! Can you believe this? That Count Philip who seemed like a tamed sheep actually pulled that Eine how bad His Majesty's expression was at that time?”
”Enough! Doran!” The old Duke felt ashahter's behaviour His face and chest become red from this!
