In the imperial palace, the emperor’s palace is one of the most luxurious buildings besides the Hall of View.
It has contracted almost all the compliments that can be used on the building, but it is a palace that combines luxury, spaciousness, grandeur, luxury and splendor.
At this time, inside and outside the palace, countless knights in heavy armor stood at various positions with serious faces, performing guard tasks, and guarding the emperor's palace strictly.
There were several noble civil servants coming in and out here, but every time they came in and out, they had to go through rigorous investigations by many knights. When they were able to enter the palace and see the emperor, it was already two or three hours later.
This made many civil servants involuntarily let out a big sigh when they left the emperor's palace, and they looked at each other and whispered.
"You really arbitrarily transferred a squad of ten thousand people from the Imperial Knights to your own dormitory to protect yourself. Your Majesty is too timid, right?"
"No way. Recently, a strange thief has sneaked into the palace again. I don’t know if it is planning to assassinate, or if there is a mysterious strong man who can summon a meteor shower and destroy the Lefirut house. Your Majesty will feel scared. Not surprisingly."
"After all, the target of the strange thief has always been those nobles, and the possibility of focusing on the royal family is not small at all. Needless to say, that mysterious strong man directly destroyed a Lefirut family."
"Your Majesty happened to be from the Lefirut family. He almost fell from the throne when he heard that the Lefirut family was destroyed by a mysterious strong man."
"So, for the sake of his own life, your Majesty can't take care of that much, right?"
"If it weren't for the sleeping quarters to accommodate only ten thousand knight guards, I think your majesty would have wished to mobilize the entire Imperial Knights to protect himself."
"Obviously he is guarded by the Royal Knights. The recent imperial capital coincides with an eventful season. Some places require imperial knights to be dispatched, but your Majesty arranges so many knights by his side..."
"What a waste..."
"Don't say that, no matter what, he is still the emperor."
"Huh, I just thought that the former imperial concubine had no intention of regent, so that he could sit on the seat of God, and after sitting on the seat of God, that person has been at the mercy of the Lefirut family. How can that wimpy look be like this?"
"Shhh, don't be so loud."
"Yeah, it's fine to discuss the emperor, after all, he is really incompetent, but the imperial concubine is in power. I don't know how many nobles are supporting her. If you don't want to lose your head, it's better to say less."
A group of civil servants murmured like this, turned their backs to the palace, and left with contempt.
This shows how unpopular the emperor today is.
This is the case in the empire, and Shangwu only respects the real capable people. If the incompetent, even the emperor, will be criticized in private.
Had it not been for the support of the Lefirut family in the past, and the support of the imperial concubine later, the emperor might have caused riots long ago and would have been annulled
Under such circumstances, no one noticed that a black shadow appeared here like a teleport, and another teleport entered the emperor's palace.
None of the tens of thousands of imperial knights discovered his existence and let him intrude silently.
... ...
At the same time, in a luxurious room, the current emperor is still receiving several nobles.
However, facing these nobles, the emperor was furious.
"Waste! Everything is waste!"
I saw a short and obese middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes that didn't look dignified at all. Instead, he felt like a nouveau riche, yelling at several nobles present.
"It's just looking for someone. The strange thief didn't catch it before, nor did the mysterious powerhouse this time. Are you all eating dry food!?"
The emperor was like this, spitting in anger and slobbering.
The nobles could not hide the disgust in their eyes, but they had to adopt a sincere and fearful attitude.
In any case, the opponents are all emperors, and if they are too disrespectful, they will inevitably be made things difficult.
One of the nobles spoke up.
"Also... please give us some time." The other party whispered: "It is less than a day before the mysterious strong man committed the crime. If we can have more time, then it must be..."
In a word, before he finished speaking, the emperor was furious again.
"Give you some more time? Who will give me some more time!?" The emperor yelled furiously: "Even the Lefirut family gave that damn guy an overnight destruction, and the palace was successfully killed by a rat a while ago. Invaded, if that guy comes and intends to be disadvantageous to me, will you be able to afford it by then... !?"
That's right.
After all, the emperor was just worried about his own safety.
The demise of the Lefirut family certainly caused headaches for many senior empires, but for the emperor who had no foresight, it was something worthy of surprise.
Because he is Direkis’s own brother, and he has competed with Direkis for the position of the head of the Lefirut family, but he is not Direkis’s opponent at all. between.
The family also regards him as a grassroots.
Even the servants once despised him openly.
In the end, he was used as a bargaining chip for political marriage by Direkis and was thrown to the royal family to be used as a bridge to connect the royal family and Lefirut's family, or as a puppet prop.
This made the emperor always hated Direkis and the Lefirut family.
If it weren't for the former imperial concubine's unintentional regency and being deceived by his rhetoric, he would definitely not sit in the position of the emperor.
But after becoming the emperor, he has no real power at all. He has been manipulated by the Lefirut family, ignored and despised by everyone up and down the palace.
It wasn't until ten years ago that he met the current imperial concubine that the emperor felt that he had finally stood up.
Under the secret guidance of the imperial concubine, the emperor did all kinds of things that subverted his own situation, overthrew the former imperial concubine, and taught the Lefirut family and the nobles who despised him a few lessons, so that they could understand everything. Choose to return.
Since then, the emperor felt that he had finally mastered this country.
Of course, the energetic and self-absorbed emperor did not realize that it was not him that the nobles and even Lefirut had surrendered, but the imperial concubine.
The poor emperor thought that the imperial concubine helped him and finally gave him real power. In fact, these only nobles in front of him were just for Moro's sake, and bowed their heads to the poor emperor.
In short, the emperor didn't care if Lefirut's house would disappear.
Rather, if the Lefirut family disappeared, he was also happy and happy.
But a mysterious strong man who could summon a meteor shower and wipe out the entire Lefirut family overnight really put too much pressure on the emperor.
Since the other party has destroyed the Lefirut family, will he who is also a member of Lefirut be targeted by the other party
However, the imperial palace was successfully infiltrated by a strange thief a while ago, which caused all kinds of worries to the timid emperor.
Therefore, the emperor was so excited.
"Go! Find me! Keep looking!"
The emperor roared.
"You must catch the mysterious powerhouse as soon as possible, as well as the strange thief before, none of them can be let go. As long as anyone can catch them... People who don’t have a knighthood can be named, and those who have a knighthood will also receive rewards, even being promoted!"
In order to eliminate the anxiety in his heart, the emperor made a huge promise.
A group of nobles got a bit of energy and agreed, and then they all retreated.
In the room, only the emperor was left.
"what... "
The emperor collapsed on a chair as if he had lost all his strength.
"At this time, where did the imperial concubine go...?"
The emperor felt strongly disturbed by this.
In ten years, he has become accustomed to following Moro's instructions, and every time he obeys her instructions, he can achieve clear results, making the emperor completely dependent on Moro.
This made the emperor, who was already a waste, even more wasteful, and if something happened, he would make a fuss like this.
It was okay when Moro was there, and the emperor would soon feel relieved.
As soon as Moro was not there, the emperor felt that he was insecure, and he couldn't feel at ease anyway, which made him uneasy.
Such an emperor did not notice at all. Behind him, at some point, a figure appeared.
The mysterious man in the cloak stood behind the emperor, exuding a faint sense of danger, making the emperor feel a chill on his back, turning his head subconsciously, and looking behind him.
At this look, the emperor opened his eyes wide.
"—!?"
He wanted to scream in horror, but was covered by a hand.
"Uuuuuuu...!?"
The terrified voice of struggling came from the emperor's covered mouth, and the result was completely useless.
The mysterious man in black robes dragged it away easily.
After a while, silent screams echoed in the room.
... ...
"Uh... ah"
I don't know how much time passed, the controlled scream in the room turned into a groaning soundless.
I saw that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ragnar Empire was hung upside down on the beam of the room tied up with five flowers, his head hanging down, his mouth stuffed with cloth, his face was a black nose and swollen face, looking like a pig's head, no place was intact.
The mysterious person in the cloak is constantly walking around the room, flipping through the bookshelves one by one, looking for what he wants.
It was not until a long time later that he pulled out an ancient book from a bookshelf.
On the cover of an ancient book, there is no handwriting, no title or signature, and some are just paintings.
A painting with gleaming, willow-like branches.
"found it."
Sheeen smiled suddenly.
