The tall and mighty royal knight walked quickly to the emperor, knelt on one knee, and presented the secret report he had brought:
"Your Majesty, news from Lord Douglas."
The emperor gracefully put down the knife and fork in his hand and opened the secret report. After taking a quick look at it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He couldn't help laughing and slapped the table. The queen couldn't help laughing and asked:
"Your Majesty, have you seen any good news?"
The emperor shook his head and said:
"No, it's very bad news. The Douglas family is finally going to rebel. They want to cut off the north and south of the empire."
Although it was bad news, the emperor's mouth kept curling up slightly, which made the queen, who only had status and beauty, confused. She could only raise her beautiful eyebrows and look at her son, the crown prince of the empire.
The other person is a man who perfectly inherited the excellent genes of her and the emperor, handsome and capable.
The Crown Prince noticed his mother's inquiring gaze, smiled, then leaned forward and whispered to his mother to explain the ins and outs of this.
The emperor hoped that the Douglas family would rebel so that he could completely and legally deprive them of everything they had. He could even grant them amnesty in the end to demonstrate his benevolence and his recognition of the Douglas family's past contributions.
But this kind of thing cannot be made public.
Even if everyone knows about it, you still have to save face.
While the Crown Prince was explaining things to his mother, the last prince, the illegitimate son who had followed Hathi Fox to the North, suddenly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I hope to lead the troops to quell the rebellion!"
The emperor showed no sign of expression when his illegitimate son suddenly spoke, and neither did the crown prince. However, the queen became slightly uneasy, because she felt that this was something that could not be given to others.
Looking at the surprise he had created on a whim, the emperor asked seriously:
"Besides the necessary armaments and soldiers, what else do you need?"
It was originally just a desperate attempt on my part, but I didn't expect the emperor to actually ask about it.
A hint of surprise flashed across the illegitimate child's eyes and he said:
"Only one demigod is needed! Douglas Territory already has a demigod loyal to the Empire stationed there. You only need to assign a demigod to work with me, and I can easily suppress the Douglas family's rebellion!"
Solving the incident with the least expenditure is what the illegitimate child thinks is the optimal solution.
But the Crown Prince shook his head speechlessly.
In this matter, what their father wanted was not to save troops and manpower, but to be quick and foolproof!
Sure enough, the emperor looked at the crown prince with a hint of disappointment in his eyes and asked:
"What about you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire?"
The Crown Prince smiled and said:
"In addition to the demigod stationed in Douglas, I hope you can let me bring the demigods Moore and Gael and order the nobles in the northern part of Douglas to send troops to assist. Of course, if you allow me, I also hope to take your Knight Commander with me!"
As he spoke, the Crown Prince looked at the tall knight behind the Emperor. When the Crown Prince and the Emperor looked at him at the same time, the knight immediately bowed slightly.
The emperor finally smiled with satisfaction at his eldest son's request.
"Then you can go. Take my Knight Commander and half of my Royal Knights with you. Win the battle well. Remember to wait for them to gather together first. Otherwise, if you attack too early, I'm afraid the place will be in complete chaos."
The tall knight immediately walked behind the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince also stood up and saluted:
"Please rest assured, my Lord!"
The emperor smiled with increasing satisfaction and said:
"It's my father."
The Crown Prince and the Queen both smiled happily at this.
The entrustment of the Royal Knights was undoubtedly the emperor's increasing affirmation of the crown prince. It was obvious that the emperor really regarded the crown prince as the heir to the throne.
The illegitimate son stood there all alone as if excluded, looking dejectedly at the deep affection between father and son.
He couldn't help but lower his head and clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment, he felt extremely powerless. Having escaped back from the North in disgrace, he, as an illegitimate child, was already increasingly distant from the throne and family affection, and now all this was moving further and further away from him.
It is conceivable how embarrassing and annoying his position would become once his brother, the crown prince, quickly wiped out the Douglas family, which had no demigod.
If he doesn't roll down on his own initiative by then, he might not live long...
But to his surprise, his brother suddenly spoke at this moment:
"My father, the rebellion of the Douglas family this time must have greatly affected the stability of the southern part of the empire. If possible, I hope you can appoint a member of the royal family to go to the south to stabilize the people's hearts."
This sentence made the emperor's face look strange, and he asked subtly:
"Are you sure?"
"This is a necessary choice, Father."
The Crown Prince looked at his father calmly.
The emperor nodded and said to his illegitimate son:
"Then my child, you will go to the south in my place. Well, you can take half of my remaining knights with you."
The sturdy illegitimate son immediately said in ecstasy:
"Yes, Father!"
"No, your majesty."
But the emperor suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him.
This made the strong man, who had just been happy, speechless for a moment:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded casually and said:
"If you have nothing else, go down."
The three of them saluted together and then slowly left.
At the door, the strong man looked at his brother and couldn't help shouting:
“Brother!”
After hearing the call of "big brother", the crown prince walked to the strong man's side. He looked up at the other's strong and tall body, and finally patted the other's arm and said:
"No need to say anything, we are brothers."
After saying that, the crown prince smiled, punched the sturdy man in the chest, waved his hand and left.
Just one sentence and one action were enough to make the strong man kneel on the ground crying as he watched his elder brother leave.
This was the first time he truly felt the love of family.
Thinking back to his own behavior and his greed for the throne, the kneeling sturdy man couldn't help but slap himself hard a few times.
Finally, he even kowtowed in the direction where his brother was leaving and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, if I can become the emperor, I will make sure you leave in a dignified manner!"
He originally wanted to be as cruel as possible, but now he changed his mind and decided to let the other party leave in a dignified manner!
After all, as the eldest brother he is really good, he even knows how to help his younger brother get to the top!
After saying this, the strong man wiped his tears and left quickly.
But what he didn't know was that after the Crown Prince left the palace, he casually said to the Knight Commander who followed him:
"Do you have absolute control over your knights?"
The Knight Commander said without omission:
"My knights only know that the emperor has absolute control."
The Crown Prince couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
"This is no longer the palace. No one here can hear anything they shouldn't hear."
The Knight Commander was silent for a moment, then continued:
"My knights only serve and obey the emperor."
The Crown Prince stopped and turned to look at the Knight Commander in silence. The other party also stopped immediately and lowered his head humbly.
"You should have seen that I will be your legitimate monarch in the future."
"Yes, Your Highness. You will undoubtedly be my monarch in the future."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked:
"So am I the future emperor?"
The Knight Commander said respectfully:
"certainly."
The Crown Prince smiled and shook his head, then turned around and walked forward, and the Knight Commander followed him.
Suddenly, the Crown Prince said to the Knight Commander:
"After I defeat those shameful and stupid rebels. I don't want to see my poor brother die at the hands of the Lorran assassins because of his lack of defense."
The Knight Commander paused for a moment before continuing to follow as usual and said:
"The Loran assassins have always been on high alert. And they will not assassinate important royal family members at this inopportune time. Because Heather does not want to go to war with Loran in advance."
The Crown Prince agreed and said:
"You are right. The Lorans will not come to assassinate my poor brother. But what about the pigs of the Merchant Alliance? They are short-sighted and 'neglectful'."
Luo Lan does have the ability to assassinate, but Luo Lan is not the opponent we should face right now. The only opponent we should face is the pig nobles of the Merchant Alliance.
"We did not pay much attention to guarding against the assassins of the Merchant Alliance because they are incompetent and greedy for money, but I will make proper arrangements for this matter after I return."
"Very good, Captain."
"My pleasure, Your Highness!"

The Douglas family and the Heather royal family were racing against time, while Mozo was waiting for Roland's demigods to arrive at the Antler Castle while preparing the promotion potions for himself and Audrey.
Just as the preparation was completed, Wei Erdani's voice came from the door:
"Young Master, the adults from Luolan have arrived."
After Mozo put away the potion, he walked out and asked curiously:
"Are those adults here?"
"Lord Hahn, Lord Halls, Grandpa Gawain, and more."
"And the old man, the cub of the Wolf family."
The old duke in a gray and white court robe appeared in front of Mozo with his hands behind his back.
143 Mozo is too abominable, let’s be the Sword Queen!
Looking at the old duke in front of him, Mozo's face instantly fell.
It was this guy who burned the treasured doll that he had purchased after overcoming his fear with great difficulty!
You old bastard, do you know how much effort I put into overcoming the huge fear brought about by Sequence Zero in order to get those cute dolls again
Why is there a real God mixed in with the dolls and still people can buy them
Because of this incident, Mozo has a huge fear of buying dolls since then, because he is not sure whether there is a Sequence Zero or some other mess mixed in among those exquisite dolls.
The old duke also looked at Mozo with a dark face:
"Hey, you seem to not want to see me."
You kidnapped my granddaughters and still treat me so badly? You are indeed a wolf cub! Just as disgusting as your ancestors!
Mozo said with a wry smile:
"You're joking. I welcome you very much!"
The old duke couldn't help but sneer at this insincere remark, then he looked Verdani up and down, and finally said to Mozo reluctantly:
