The entrance ceremony of the delegation of high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army ended before it even started.
After all, the Alliance Emperor was dead. This event overwhelmed everything and turned all the celebrations into mourning actions - the entrance ceremony that had not yet started was canceled and the celebration ceremony was postponed indefinitely.
In addition to the sadness of mourning, the entire league is still more shocked and unable to accept it.
The Alliance Emperor died like this? Did he die so suddenly
They knew that His Majesty the Emperor had never been very healthy because of his obesity, but they never expected that he would suddenly die suddenly in his prime.
This thing is like smashing a mountain into a small pond, causing all the water in the pond to ripple, and no one in it is unaffected. In this drastically changed situation, many people had various thoughts and began to make overt and covert actions before dawn.
After finally waiting until daybreak, the light just came out from the east, and the black-faced old man Oscar and Richard hurried into the palace.
After entering the palace, you can see many palace waiters coming and going in a panic, doing things in a hurry.
The festive decorations that were originally prepared for the celebration ceremony were too late to be replaced normally. They were violently torn off and piled in the corner and temporarily covered with thick cloth. Then the servants hung up the many funeral decorations made in a hurry, all in black and white, making the air extremely solemn.
The black-faced old man looked at the scene for a few seconds without saying anything, but his eyes dimmed a bit, and he led Richard towards the emperor's palace.
When I arrived at the door of the palace, I saw that many palace officials had gathered here, discussing in low voices.
"Why did His Majesty pass away suddenly? Wasn't he always in good health?"
"You are wrong. His Majesty passed away suddenly, but his body was not always in good health... You have also seen His Majesty's figure. Although it is majestic, it is also worrying."
"In that case, is this the reason?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense about this. There is no accurate news out yet. Let's wait for the final conclusion."
"That… "
The royal family members also appeared. Compared with the officials, they were much quieter. They stood silently at the door of the dormitory - the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and other princes, their faces were extremely solemn, as if they were mourning for an heir... Actually, it was not, but that is.
After a while, the third prince was also sitting in a wheelchair, coughing as he was pushed over to stay with the princes and brothers.
Richard glanced at the pale and weak third prince, and then he understood a little bit. When he came to Xiaya, all the royal family members came to visit, why was this one missing? It seemed that this one was in very poor health. Ah, if the emperor hadn't died, he would have stayed in the house and never came out. It would have been excusable for him not to visit in the first place. Of course, it may be that the other party is in poor health and has lost his qualifications for political competition, so there is no point in visiting him.
The black-faced old man Oscar did not pay attention to the princes. He was more shocked by the emperor's death. He couldn't help but walked towards the palace, but was stopped before he reached the door.
The reason for stopping him was simple and could not be refused: in the palace, the deceased emperor's remains were being arranged and no one could be disturbed.
Therefore, Oscar had no choice but to stop, and the same people stayed outside the door for more than an hour before they were allowed to line up and enter the palace to bid farewell to the emperor who had arranged his remains and mourn.
When he came out after saying goodbye, Oscar's eyes had completely dimmed, and he recognized the reality that the Alliance Emperor had passed away—no matter what the cause was, death is death. Although the person lying inside had been beautified by a makeup artist to look more majestic and solemn, Oscar could recognize him as the Alliance Emperor, exactly like the Alliance Emperor.
Oscar was obviously confused and his walking slowed down. It took him twice as long as it took to leave the palace with Richard.
After leaving the palace, Oscar continued to move forward. Richard sensed something and turned his head slightly to look at a person appearing in the distance.
The man's body was wrapped in a thick black robe, covering most of his face. Only a pair of somewhat cloudy blue eyes were exposed. He kept staring here. When he noticed that Richard had noticed him, he stretched out a pair of eyes from under the black robe. Zhang's hand covered with age spots gently pointed at his body.
Richard was confused, stretched out his hand to hold Oscar, and signaled the presence of the old man in black robe.
Oscar turned to look, and as soon as he made eye contact with the other person, the other person turned around and left.
What's the matter
Richard was quite puzzled when he heard Oscar lower his voice and said, "I'm going to trouble you today. Accompany me to follow that person." His tone suddenly became more energetic and no longer lifeless as before.
"Do you know him?" Richard asked.
"That is a personal servant who is very close to His Majesty. He no longer serves His Majesty and takes care of himself because he is too old. I don't know why he is here. In any case, he is very trusted by Your Majesty. He must have something to say." Oscar explained quickly.
"Okay." Richard did not refuse Oscar's request and followed Oscar together.
The old man in black robe went in front, followed by Richard and Oscar, and walked for several miles, leaving the area around the palace, twisting and turning in remote alleys, and entering a courtyard.
The old man in black robe waited in the courtyard living room for a while. When Richard and Oscar arrived, he opened a secret door on the wall with a "clatter".
Oscar couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Renly, right? Why did you bring me here? Did His Majesty ask you to convey something to me during his lifetime?"
"Follow me, wait a little longer, and you will know... Mr. Oscar." The other party made an old voice. After speaking, he stepped into the passage behind the secret door and disappeared quickly.
Oscar had no choice but to follow. Richard followed, and was a little curious as to what was going on.
Enter the passage and go all the way down, about dozens of meters deep, to reach an empty underground hall.
There are a lot of lampposts lit here, and it doesn't look dim. After the old man named Renly arrived, he walked directly to the corner and bowed to stop. Then Richard noticed that there was another person here.
Deep in the hall, a sturdy figure was sitting on a stool. Hearing a sound, he turned around with some difficulty.
Oscar's body suddenly trembled. The moment his eyes fell on the man's face, his breathing stopped for a moment. The air was quiet for several seconds. Finally, Oscar couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty~"
The sturdy figure is none other than the "dead" Emperor of the Alliance - Peter Romanov!
