"Are you leaving?" Bumantha looked at Eidolon and Loren Hill at the edge of the town.
"Well, go back first."
Loren Hill nodded. Today, she put on a white and blue dress, matched with the changed blonde hair, like the white chrysanthemum in the morning, with a pure and beautiful feeling.
"Come again next time." Bumansa waved her hand and said goodbye to the two of them.
"I'll be back, I'll miss Sister Bumansa's cookies." Eidolon nodded too.
"Goodbye~"
"goodbye."
After that, Roland Hill and Eidolon got into the carriage, said goodbye to Bumantha and left.
Standing on the edge of the golden field, Bumansa watched the carriage slowly go away.
This parting, it may take several years to see each other again, she sighed slightly in her heart, and then turned back.
I'm going to make some delicious bread for everyone today.
Meanwhile, in the south of the empire.
Flags with gold borders on a red background fluttered in the wind, and hussars in tunics with parallel buttons rode through the fields, armed with narrow and sharp sabres and short muskets at their sides. After the front line broke through, these hussars, like a group of valiant lions, lined up in a tight wall to slaughter the enemy like melons and vegetables.
In this way, until the black and red dragon flag was finally cut down, picked up by these brave cavalry chasing, and brought back to the center of the array.
Edron rode a high-headed horse and looked ahead. The current regent of the empire was wearing a dark red military uniform with delicate and intricate gold braided embroidery on his chest and shoulders.
Since the defeat of the empire, the interior has not settled down, but several rebellions have occurred soon. And now it is the vassals and troops of the former Baska family who are fighting against Edron.
The most dominant leader of the war, the Baska family contributed the most in the imperial expedition, occupied the land, won the most awards and wealth, and lost the most after the defeat.
When the former Duke Pascal died in battle, he did not designate an heir. Later, dissatisfied with the surrender treaty signed by the empire, the descendants of the Pascal family rebelled one after another, declaring that they were the heirs of the Duke of Red Dragon, and wanted to remove the south from the empire. independent from.
They were unwilling to pay the price for the failure of the empire, believing that it was the incompetence of the imperial family that led to the failure, and that the Baska family should not cede a lot of land and wealth to make war reparations. It is a pity that the Duke of Red Dragon lost most of his elite forces during the expedition, and he also died on the battlefield. The biggest loser of the battle.
But is the imperial royal family that dominates all of this really any better, not necessarily.
The sudden death of the emperor and the surrender of the empire made the majesty of the royal family plummet, and the loss of many elite legions also weakened the royal family.
It is also for this reason that the regent was determined to reform, and at the beginning of the year, he began to recruit soldiers who survived and retired from the expedition to form a new army using muskets.
These cavalrymen, mounted on horses, armed with muskets and sabres, quickly absorbed the experience of past enemies, used brand-new tactics, and fought with artillery, and began to quell the rebellion in the southern part of the empire.
"Your Highness, the enemy has been defeated by our side."
An officer on horseback came from the front, and when he came to Edron's side, he saluted and reported.
"Very good, which Red Dragon descendant is the other party, have you checked it out?"
"It is clear that the leader of the enemy is the nephew of the former Duke of Baska, Bud."
"Is it Cousin Bud?" Edron sighed simply, not feeling sad.
The Baska family was originally a side branch of the royal family, and there were many marriages between them. Such blood relations abounded in the upper echelons of the empire.
Seeing that Edron sighed and then didn't say anything, the officer asked again hesitantly.
"His Royal Highness, what should I do with this person?" Although he was an enemy, he was descended from a great noble after all. Officers like them were a little uncertain.
"Give him respect."
"Yes." Then the officer returned to the front again.
It is the safest and most convenient way to let the descendants of such great nobles die on the battlefield. If they are dragged to the aristocratic meeting within the empire for trial, I don’t know how much trouble it will bring.
Now that the southern part of the empire is half ruined, it is better to eat it and restore the strength of the royal family than to save the half of the Baska family. That's it.
After the battle, thousands of hussars gathered, surrounded by this group of gold and red cavalry, Edron returned to the barracks where he was stationed.
Walking into the large tent, he took off his slightly uncomfortable coat, hung it aside, then waved his hand and asked the guards beside him to wait outside the tent.
Sitting on the loose sofa, he leaned his head back on the chair, rubbed his tired forehead, sat up again after a long time, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Rock, are you there?" He said into the air in the empty military tent.
"Here I am."
A transparent figure emerged, and then a man leaning on the pillar was revealed. He was wearing a tight night clothes, revealing only a pair of black pupils.
"Huh, it's good that you are here." Seeing this, Edron also sighed in relief.
Since his twin brother was assassinated, the regent was not as calm as he appeared on the outside, and he was often worried about the assassination from the shadows.
"Is it clear now, who is the murderer of the emperor's brother?" He called Rock over and poured him a cup of tea.
Although the status of the two was very different, the regent did not despise the friend. He met Roque when he was studying at Emenas, and now it has been more than ten years, and he has long been a close friend who talks about everything.
"It's not difficult, I think the other dukes have got almost the same information." Roque didn't go over, and still leaned against the pillar to answer.
"It was the Dark Moon that used to be the empire, which was the intelligence and assassination organization that used to belong to the emperor."
"Didn't they be swept away by the imperial brother?" Edron frowned slightly while drinking tea.
"It was swept away, but as an intelligence organization that has been passed down for hundreds of years, there are always many backers." Rock shook his head.
"Many of them are still loyal to the line of the deceased Crown Prince Ansi Er, believing that they are the true heirs of the empire."
"But the Ansel brothers are dead."
Edron put down the teacup, closed his eyes and pondered. He directly participated in the coup d'état that year, and naturally knew that the princes were definitely killed and that no blood was left behind.
"Wait..." He suddenly remembered something.
The scheduled White Queen, Frocia, has never appeared in the eyes of the world.
"If she was still alive, if she had the blood of Ansair back then..." He suddenly had a very bad conjecture.

If all this is true, then after so many years, that child is about to grow up. Moreover, this child also has the blood of the Landsworth family, so he will be born with the support of the Eastern Unicorn Duchy, and maybe even the forest elves who don't care about the world will stand up to support.
"Can't delay any longer!"
Edron stood up immediately, took off his coat, and walked outside the tent. He had to end the turmoil in the south as soon as possible and return to the Royal Palace. If all is still in time.
Before, he had been hesitating how to face the current Red Queen, Lily Esther and her son, whether to support the youngest son to ascend the throne, or to replace him.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that if you save the mother and son, you can really save yourself. The coup d'état of himself and Edelman had already left a curse. If it changes again, even the final prestige of the royal family will be lost, and the split of the empire may be in an instant.
Looking at Edron's disappearing figure, Roque once again disappeared into the shadows. Although he helped Edron to inquire about information, it did not mean that he was subordinate to the regent.
In fact, after constantly being exposed to the real situation of all parties, this young man who aspires to be a hero also has many thoughts and ideas of his own.
What should I do to change this festering country
Once, he thought that he would choose a wise king from top to bottom with the sword in his hand. However, as he kept getting closer to understanding how imperial power worked, he began to grow disillusioned with past ideas.
If a king is really so selfless and just, I am afraid that he will die sooner in the power struggle.
Wang doesn't understand people's hearts, because the underlying structure of the entire empire is based on blood and interests. If there is only noble morality and cannot bring benefits to the people around him, then they will turn away.
From the very beginning, they came for self-interest, and they never had loftiness. In such an environment, how much can a wise and just monarch change.
