"Another war?"
Maester Dawn exclaimed directly.
Baron Heidegger nodded expressionlessly, and explained: "Prince Lehi wants to declare war on the Council of Mages and send troops to attack Yeville."
Maester Dawn was silent.
He could also understand Prince Lehi's motives for doing so.
The emergence of the forbidden spell "Eye of Judgment" made all the knights of the empire sleepless, especially Prince Lehi, the paladin.
He has personally killed Mr. Yu, but now, it seems that he still wants to completely eradicate the roots and destroy the mage council.
"Yevil won't be captured without a fight. Didn't Prince Lexi think about the consequences of doing so? Isn't he worried that those mages will risk their lives and die together?"
Baron Heidegger sighed, and said, "You haven't dealt with Prince Lehi much, so you don't understand him.
This is not a man to be coerced!
At the beginning, Emperor Reinhard secretly reached an agreement with Mr. Xi, thinking that he could use the power of the mage to check and balance Prince Lehi.
Hehe, it's a pity that he doesn't understand either, no, maybe he understands, but he doesn't want to believe it.
If someone held a sword around Prince Lexi's neck, his first reaction would not be to compromise, but to draw the sword and stab it! Even because of this, his own neck was pierced by the opponent.
This is the pride of the paladins! "
Maester Dawn was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, if Prince Lexi would have been coerced by such means, it would have been impossible for him to step into the sanctuary all the way.
Therefore, after learning that Mr. Xie had killed the Duke of St. Hilde with a forbidden spell, Prince Leahy immediately went to the northern border and killed Mr. Xie decisively. He did not worry about whether such a move would attract revenge from the mage.
Even now, he still wants to completely eradicate the mage council.
Perhaps, he is already ready to become the next target of the forbidden spell "Eye of Judgment".
The mages declared that they would die together, but why didn't the paladins prefer to die rather than surrender
Bachelor Dawn's heart was heavy, and he asked again: "Has Prince Leahy's proposal been discussed at the imperial meeting? What is the result? What is the opinion of the Senate?"
Baron Heidegger shook his head and said, "I haven't attended the imperial meeting yet, so the attitudes of all parties are still unclear."
"Then when will the imperial meeting be held? Could it be that this proposal was just proposed?"
"No, after Prince Lehi returned from the northern border half a month ago, he put forward this proposal to declare war, but it has not been discussed in the imperial meeting."
"Why?"
"Because..." Baron Heidegger frowned, "Because His Majesty has not attended the imperial meeting, it is impossible for me to preside over such an important topic."
Maester Dawn also frowned.
He had heard before that Emperor Reinhard didn't take much care of his affairs, and that military affairs were handed over to Prince Lehi, government affairs were handed over to Baron Heidegger, and diplomatic affairs were handed over to Queen Midella...
In short, he himself is either obsessed with pursuing the way of chivalry, or he is busy cuckolding the nobles of the imperial capital...
But Bachelor Dawn never imagined that now that war was going to be declared against the mage, Emperor Reinhardt still didn't attend the imperial meeting, which is too absurd.
Immediately, Bachelor Dawn immediately realized that maybe Emperor Reinhardt deliberately did not attend the imperial meeting.
Because he definitely doesn't want to declare war on the mage, and even counts on the mage to check and balance Prince Lexi.
Therefore, in the face of Prince Reich's domineering behavior of directly flipping the table, Emperor Reinhardt chose—
hide...
"Is it just going to drag on like this?" Maester Dawn felt that Emperor Reinhard's choice was not wise.
The corner of Baron Heidegger's mouth pulled a mocking smile, and said: "How could Prince Leahy let this proposal go on forever. There is another way to dispatch the Imperial Central Army besides His Majesty's order."
"Senate!" Maester Dawn responded immediately.
But immediately, his frown deepened.
The establishment of the Senate was actually to limit the royal power.
In case of meeting an extremely absurd emperor, there must always be an institution that can check and balance his behavior.
[Charter of Glory] stipulates that as long as the Senate can pass a certain resolution with an absolute majority (more than two-thirds) of votes, then the resolution can take effect directly without the consent of the emperor.
Therefore, as long as Prince Lech can get more than two-thirds of the support in the Senate, he can directly bypass Emperor Reinhardt and launch a war against Yevil.
But Bachelor Dawn also realized that if Prince Leahy really did this, he would completely tear himself apart from Emperor Reinhardt.
"Will the Senate support Prince Leahy in this matter?" Bachelor Dawn said in a heavy tone.
Baron Heidegger shrugged his shoulders and put on a helpless expression: "You are asking the wrong person. I can't find out the true attitude of those gentlemen in the Senate."
Maester Dawn realized that he had asked a silly question out of his confusion.
However, thinking of the conflict between Baron Heidegger and the Senate, it was only then that Maester Dawn remembered the real purpose of his visit this time.
"My lord prime minister, in fact, I came to you this time to hope that you can stand up and support Master Joyce to inherit the Duke of the North at the right time."
Baron Heidegger was stunned for a moment, and was just about to say that he had no right to speak on the issue of the succession of the Duke of the North, but immediately, he understood the real purpose of Maester Dawn.
"Hehe, you want to influence the resolution of the Senate through me, right? It's a smart way, um, well, I will find a suitable opportunity to help..."
Having said this, Baron Heidegger stopped suddenly, as if he had thought of a certain key.
"My lord Prime Minister?" Maester Dawn called out in doubt.
"Haha, your thinking has given me a lot of inspiration!" Baron Heidegger came back to his senses, his face was full of excitement,
"At first, I already felt that if Prince Lech wanted to declare war on the mage through the Senate, I would not be able to exert any influence. After all, you also know that I and the Senate are really incompatible.
But now, you have given me a new way of thinking.
Perhaps, I can really influence the resolution of the Senate in this way... "
Bachelor Dawn's eyes flickered, and he also understood Baron Heidelger's meaning, so he asked carefully: "So, do you support Prince Leahy's declaration of war against mages, or do you oppose it?"
"Objection!" Baron Heidegger said without hesitation, "Now is not the best time to deal with Yevil at all!"
Maester Dawn nodded in agreement, and he also didn't think he should provoke Yevil at this time.
The northern border has just stabilized, and there seems to be another accident in the western border. It is not a wise move for the empire to provoke the Council of Mage at this time.
What's more, Vera is also a mage, and Bachelor Dawn is also worried that this trend of extermination of magic will affect the succession of the Duke of the North.
Immediately, Bachelor Dawn thought of another question: "Oh, by the way, if Emperor Reinhardt has been unwilling to attend the imperial meeting, then he probably won't meet Miss Vera, right?"
Baron Heidegger shook his head and said: "Probably not. I heard some rumors that His Majesty was ill and invited His Majesty the Pope to treat him. I just don't know if this is true or just a delay." excuse."
Maester Dawn's heart was heavy.
He began to feel that he and Vera's party might have to wait in Yulong City for a long time...
At least until the result of the game between Prince Lehi and Emperor Reinhardt.
This is an extremely dangerous political vortex!
If you accidentally get involved...
Maester Dawn had a headache.
Baron Heidegger seemed to see Maester Dawn's worries, and asked, "What? Worried about staying in Dragon City for too long, and there will be chaos in the northern border?"
"There shouldn't be chaos in the northern border. The Marquis of Garcia is sitting in Winter City."
"That's good." Baron Heidegger looked into Maester Dawn's eyes and said seriously, "However, I want to remind you that it's best not to rush to arrange for Vera to see His Majesty before the outcome of this battle is over."
"Why?"
Baron Heidegger did not answer directly, but slowly said: "What kind of person is the easiest to get out of the vortex?"
Bachelor Dawn thought for a while before suddenly saying: "A person who has no burden!"
Baron Heidegger smiled gratifiedly, and didn't say any more, just peeled the sweet potato meticulously.
The expression was so serious that it seemed to be carefully carving a handicraft.
"Did you know? The yield of sweet potatoes is much higher than that of wheat. I have always wanted to promote sweet potatoes as a staple food instead of wheat, but I have not received enough recognition."
Bachelor Dawn said with a smile: "Because everyone can't bear the days without bread."
Baron Heidegger snorted softly and said leisurely:
"Maybe it won't be long before they have the right to be so picky eaters anymore."
Bachelor Dawn nodded thoughtfully. Seeing Baron Heidegger munching sweet potatoes, he couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, Queen Midella will host a banquet in Phoenix Palace tonight for Miss Vera and Viscount Angelet. Are you not going?"
Baron Heidegger shook his head: "I won't go. The food at the noble banquet makes me sick to my stomach, and the poor food like sweet potatoes suits my taste."
Maester Dwayne smiled lightly, and stopped persuading him, and then picked up another baked sweet potato from the grill, and peeled it while blowing.
Upon seeing this, Baron Heidegger asked, "What? Aren't you going too?"
Bachelor Dawn took a bite of the delicious sweet potato and said with a smile: "No, I also think your dinner party is more attractive!"
Baron Heidegger laughed loudly, proudly said:
"The entire Glorious Empire can have this taste, you are the second person."
"Oh?" Maester Dawn asked curiously, "Then I'm curious, who is the other one?"
Baron Heidegger smiled lightly and said a name: "Tournance."
Maester Dawn was taken aback.
He knew that this was the name of a cardinal of the Radiance Church, and he was also the first in line of succession among the three cardinals!
