In the study... scold me
The second prince was a little puzzled for a while.
Knowing that he is powerless, so he can only be incompetent and furious? This is too suffocating, isn't it
Don't even want the dignity of the royal family
"Humph! What stupid brothers..."
The second prince snorted disdainfully, and his evaluation of the two was a little lower.
"I thought I deliberately angered the old eighth guy, so that the two of them could join forces would bring me a little surprise, but now it seems that I still think highly of them."
"His Royal Highness, then let's clear the plans of the two princes in advance..."
"Let's put it on hold for now, the other party won't take the lead, our teacher is unknown, at this time, there is no need to completely anger the above for these two wastes.
Anyway, they can't escape my palm. "The second prince sneered.
He picked up the glass again and shook it, his eyes deepened. "It's the ninth brother, who has been jumping quite happily recently."
The ninth prince has been moving frequently recently, and he has also taken over a large number of contacts and resources controlled by the emperor. It is rumored that his majesty the emperor intends to abolish the elders and establish the young, and pass the throne to the ninth prince.
Many nobles moved to gather in the past, but they were also quite powerful, as if they were the fourth largest faction after the second prince, fourth prince and eighth prince, and became a dark horse for the throne.
"But it's only now to enter, don't you think it's too late? Father, he seems to have lost his mind, and he is confused..."
After drank the wine in the cup, a coldness flashed in the eyes of the second prince.
"Pass my order, just use Lao Jiu first to kill the chicken and show the monkey!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
…
And just as the situation in the imperial capital was changing, the Iron Wall Fleet finally returned to the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Grand Duke Houghton after a long journey of nearly 3 months.
"Have the tails been cleaned up?"
Viscount Tiebi put down the communicator in his hand and asked while putting on the commander's battle uniform.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, the secret room has been thoroughly cleaned to ensure that not even a single cell or DNA will be left." The adjutant had sweat on his forehead.
Killed a second prince's secret guard and completely evaporated him from the world.
This is not playing with the heartbeat, it is simply playing with life!
Although he didn't know what Viscount Tiebi was torturing the other party, his intuition told him... This matter is very dangerous, extremely dangerous!
"Don't worry, you can treat this as if it never happened. If things come to light in the future and someone comes to investigate this, I allow you to put the blame on me."
"The Guard is Here"
"Lord Viscount, what are you talking about, your subordinates would rather die than betray you!" The adjutant looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Viscount Iron Wall nodded noncommittally.
"Next, I will go to the Duke's Mansion alone, and I will apologize to the Duke for the failure of this mission. After you return to the station with the Iron Wall Fleet, you will be on standby for repairs.
Remember, no one can move without my order.
If... If I don't come back after three days, then you lead the brothers and obey the orders of the Duke. "
Although the secret guard didn't say anything in the end, the abnormality that he showed himself had already explained the problem.
Charisma... Possibly real!
Judging from the appearance of the Secret Guard, who was completely a brainless fan, his trip was probably a near-death experience. If the operation failed, he naturally did not want these brothers who had followed him for many years to be buried with him.
Hearing this kind of words that seemed to be dying words, the adjutant's heart skipped a beat.
"Lord Viscount, this subordinate will accompany you!"
Thinking of Lord Viscount's favor for his promotion, the adjutant's head became hot and he blurted out.
Viscount Tiebi turned around, looked at him seriously, and suddenly grinned at the next moment.
"OK!"
"Uh..." The adjutant's head was stunned, and the sweat immediately came down.
This promises
How can you say yes
At this time, according to the routine, shouldn't you be moved to encourage me, then pat me on the shoulder and politely refuse, and finally leave a sultry back
He just wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Impulsivity is the devil!
"Hahaha!" Viscount Tiebi suddenly burst out laughing.
He patted the adjutant's shoulder and waved his hand without looking back.
"I heard that you are going back to your hometown to get married this time. If there is a chance, I will go to the wedding!"
That back figure, indescribably free and easy.
"Sir Viscount..."
…
The Duke's Palace of the Duke of Houghton, located on the third planet of the Houghton system, has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Although it is not as grand as Emperor Star, it also occupies nearly one-fifth of the planet's land and sits on an entire independent continent.
After spending half a day, after passing through layers of checkpoints and confiscating all weapons, the small shuttle that Viscount Tiebi was riding in was allowed to land on the apron.
When Duke Houghton walked into the parlour, he saw Viscount Iron Wall with a straight back and a solemn face.
"My subordinates see the Duke."
Seeing the Grand Duke Houghton, whose temples had been grayed out after a long absence, Viscount Tiebi's tone inevitably contained a trace of fluctuations.
The Duke of Horton, who was keenly aware of the fluctuation, looked at Viscount Tiebi with complicated eyes, and quickly restrained the emotions in his eyes.
"Well! Now that you're back, let's take a good rest for a while. It's been hard to run back and forth during this time.
As for the fleet, you don't have to worry, I will arrange for someone to take over. "
Hearing the icy tone that seemed to be concerned, but without a trace of warmth, Viscount Tiebi felt a shudder in his heart, raised his head and looked at Archduke Horton in surprise.
What is it that he is tired from running around, he is a 180-pound person, and he still needs to be distressed
This is obviously to cut his military power!
Even if he had expected that he would definitely be punished for failing the mission, he had seized his military power as soon as he came up, which was undoubtedly the worst case.
It seems... I secretly dealt with the secret guard, and the consequences are more serious than I imagined...
Did you touch that nerve
His eyes casually passed over the "Jenice with Broken Arm" stone sculpture in the center of the living room, and Viscount Tiebi bowed his head.
"Yes! I have ordered the fleet to return to the station. The Duke can send someone to take over at any time. Speaking of which, I have not been on vacation for a long time. Thank you for your sympathy."
He didn't resist, because he knew that in the Duke's territory, his little strength could not make waves at all.
Resisting with the fleet in hand is purely courting death.
He came here today, and he wasn't ready to use force at all.
Seeing that Viscount Tiebi cooperated so well without even a single question, Duke Houghton finally showed a smile.
If that's the case... Maybe I can still beg His Highness for mercy.
It is impossible to continue to hold military power, at least, let him live...
"Lord Duke, Viscount Pluto is out to see you."
At this moment, the butler suddenly came in and said.
Pluto? What is he doing here
Looking at Viscount Tiebi, who was sitting upright with his face as usual, Duke Houghton frowned.
He knew that Pluto and Viscount Tiebi were hard-core friends. Did they come here to intercede
"Let him in."
Not long after, a burly man in military armor walked in, followed by an attendant.
The visitor first bowed to Duke Houghton, "The Black Flag, Commander of the Second Squadron, Pluto, has seen His Excellency the Duke."
"Yeah!" Duke Houghton nodded lightly.
"Don't stay at your station, what are you doing here?"
"Hahaha! Lord Duke forgive me, this is not because I heard that this guy Alfonso suffered a defeat, so he came to laugh at him specially!
I would like to see what kind of three heads and six arms can make Alfonso shriveled! "Pluto laughed heartily, and winked at Viscount Iron Wall.
Viscount Tiebi glanced at the other party with a hint of gratitude.
That's right, this is the backhand he is preparing for today... a witness with an important identity.
In addition to being a staunch royalist like him in terms of political views, Pluto is also his life and death friend, and he is one of the few people who can be trusted under the command of Archduke Houghton.
Most importantly, he has another identity.
That is one of the commanders of the Horton system garrison fleet!
