The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Hui got up early. After clearing his thoughts last night, his thoughts for this interview became clear instantly.
Weir, wearing a black gauze dress, stopped at the door of the manor. With her delicate face, she was now a wealthy lady.
"Brother, this is so tight, can't you loosen it a little?"
He tugged at the corner of Ye Hui's clothes, and his big blood-red eyes were full of pleading.
"Hold on."
Sitting in the steam car, Ye Hui exhaled a breath of smoke as he thought about his words for meeting the old king next.
If his guess was correct, there must be someone colluding with the Blood God Cult between the eldest prince and the second prince.
About half an hour later, in the royal capital, in front of a luxurious restaurant.
Although this is not the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, it is the most important restaurant because this restaurant is exclusively for the royal family.
The restaurant is not too big, but it can accommodate a hundred people at the same time. The first and second floors are the dining area, the third floor is the entertainment area, and the fourth floor is the reception area exclusively for the royal family. Today's award ceremony for Ye Hui will be held here.
Outside the restaurant, steam cars were parked in front of the door. A nobleman and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes stepped on the red carpet and slowly entered the restaurant. Anyone who could appear here today was at least an earl.
A man with a strong build and smart formal attire stood outside the door. When all the nobles saw this man, they subconsciously avoided looking at him for fear of meeting his eyes.
A few bold young nobles tried to make friends with him, but what they received in return was an icy chill.
"What's going on with this person? Why does everyone look so cold?"
A young lady carefully glanced at the burly man at the door and said dissatisfied that this was the first time she had been looked at so coldly.
"Oh, my Miss Daisy, that is the leader of the Royal Knights, the old king's absolute confidant, Moses Bach. If he can stand, he is definitely waiting for today's protagonist."
A butler with slightly white temples quickly leaned over to Daisy and spoke softly.
After hearing this, Daisy subconsciously covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Moses carefully. After finding that there was nothing unusual about Moses, she patted her chest with fear.
A moment later, another steam car stopped at the door of the restaurant. Moses' eyes suddenly became sharp, and when he looked at the steam car, he showed a slight smile and fighting spirit.
The first person to get out of the car was a young man wearing a black leather coat, followed by a girl with a delicate face and a cold temperament, following closely behind the young man.
"An Ye, you are finally here."
Moses smiled, with an unconcealed fighting spirit in his eyes. He wanted to compete with Ye Hui now, but the current atmosphere and environment were obviously not suitable, and he had other business to do.
"Your Majesty has summoned me, please come with me."
Moses took out the invitation letter with the king's seal, patted Ye Hui on the shoulder, and said slowly.
Ye Hui looked normal. He could feel a strong sense of threat from Moses. This kind of threat he had only felt from Caron so far.
After receiving the invitation from the old king, Ye Hui followed Moses into the restaurant under the envious eyes of everyone.
…
On the fourth floor, in an elegantly decorated living room, the layout here is almost two worlds from the outside world.
If there is a prosperous world outside the living room, then this place is like a mountain stream, elegant and quiet.
"Sit down wherever you want. His Majesty is having a social gathering. In order to meet you this time, His Majesty has endured a lot of pressure."
Moses said solemnly, with a slightly dissatisfied tone. This dissatisfaction was not directed at Ye Hui, but at the nobles in power.
"Pressure? Which side's pressure?"
Ye Hui spoke coldly, daring to put pressure on the old king. It seemed that the situation in the kingdom was such that not even the old king could suppress it.
"You have to ask His Highness yourself about this. I don't know anything."
Moses turned his head away. He was not hiding anything. He really knew nothing.
Soon after, the door of the reception room was pushed open by a deacon, and Moses and Ye Hui stood up at the same time.
I saw the deacon pushing the old king in the wheelchair slowly into the living room. The old king looked gloomy and angry. Even Ye Hui was a little doubtful whether the old king could survive the night.
"An Ye, you're here... Ahem!"
Halfway through the words, the old king began to cough violently, and Moses quickly presented a handkerchief.
After the old king took it, the white handkerchief turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, the old king casually spread the blood-stained handkerchief down, as if it had no strength at all.
"king… "
Moses knelt down on one knee, his eyes full of sorrow and anger. The old king should not have been like this. With his age, he could lead the kingdom to new prosperity, but now it was difficult for him to even say a word.
"An Ye, you should have noticed that the palace is already in danger. Now... now..."
The old king's eyes widened with anger. Seeing this, Moses quickly walked around behind the old king, put one hand on his back, and exerted force suddenly.
"puff!"
A mouthful of ink-black blood was spat out by the old king. It was this mouthful of blood that almost turned today's banquet into a memorial service.
"An Ye, you have also seen my situation, so... time is running out. Before I die, please give me an explanation."
[You have triggered the side mission, Kingdom Blood Shadow]
Mission introduction: Eliminate the nobles who collude with the Blood God Cult
Difficulty level: Lv.9
Task time limit: 7 natural days
Mission reward: [Blood God Crystal] x1
Task penalty: The difficulty of promotion tasks will be increased by 82%
…
Ye Hui closed the mission panel in front of him. Judging from the mission, there was a [Blood God Crystal] in the hands of the old king, which could save a lot of trouble.
"I have received the news. I didn't expect you to be able to destroy that strange crystal, but..."
After another dry cough, the old king continued,
"The palace is no longer safe, and my old bones can hardly stabilize the situation, so... you have to hurry."
At the end of the sentence, the old king's body softened and he collapsed. If it weren't for the beard that fluttered with his breathing, Ye Hui would have thought that the old king had died.
…
In the dining area on the first floor, Weier, wearing a black dress, sat in a corner, motionless like an exquisite doll.
The sweetness of the food came from all directions, and a drop of saliva left the corner of Weier's mouth unsatisfactorily.
Wei Er wanted to go to the dining table, but while she had to wait for Ye Hui here, she was afraid that Ye Hui would not be able to find her when he came back.
"Who put this doll here? It's so beautifully done."
A crisp exclamation passed into Weir's ears, and when she heard the sound, she looked around and saw from the outline that it was a noble lady who was two years older than her.
"I'm not a doll."
Weier said angrily, not hiding the displeasure in her tone. For some reason, she hated being called a puppet.
"Oh, sorry, I am Daisy Shikari, the eldest daughter of the Shikari family. In the family..."
"Sorry, brother-sama doesn't want me to talk to suspicious people. Please forgive me."
Before Daisy could finish introducing herself, Weir raised her hand to interrupt Daisy.
After hearing this, Daisy felt secretly unhappy. Such actions undoubtedly insulted her and her family.
But Daisy is a rich lady after all. In just a moment, she calmed down her restless heart and said slowly,
"Excuse me, your brother's position is..."
"Everyone calls him Dean, probably because of his position."
After Wei Er thought for a moment, he spoke slowly.
Daisy's mouth twitched when she heard this. In the entire kingdom, the only institution in the kingdom that could have an adult after the dean was the Procuratorate.
The Procuratorate is the most special existence. If the presidents of the past generations were not too dedicated, the Procuratorate could take advantage of its privileges and become a powerful institution second only to the king.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Daisy bent down to salute and left quickly. In just a few hours, she almost offended the two strongest people in the kingdom.
Seeing Daisy leaving in a hurry, Weier thought that the next time would be more peaceful, but it backfired.
After learning that Weier was Ye Hui's sister, young nobles one after another stepped forward to try to make friends with Weier.
In just a moment, Weier was surrounded by handsome aristocratic children, trying to leave some favor with Weier.
But these handsome guys who think they have outstanding appearance never imagined that their proud appearance would be like a group of unsightly bloody outlines in Weier's eyes.
