Age of Mysticism

Emperor Augustine's murderous intentions towards Meteor had never been so strong. The empire would rather have a mediocre loyal minister than allow a shrewd powerful minister to control the court.

However, Augustine the Great did not show it immediately.

Whether it is the meteorite behind all of this still needs to be verified. One cannot arbitrarily dispose of an important minister of the empire just because of suspicion. And if Meteor can really affect two princes and one princess at the same time, we should be more cautious when dealing with him.

The events of these days let Augustine know that he and his children have become strangers, and they may be closer to Meteor than to their father.

The sense of loneliness and desolation rose again, but Augustine quickly regained his imperial heart and focused on this battle of national destiny.

The eldest prince Fania explained some future strategies after this offensive operation, and he respected Meteor even more in his heart.

Alec really left the imperial capital and went to the western front.

If there were no such major military actions on the southern front, staying in the imperial capital would make the emperor feel a sense of crisis. If you go to supervise the battle like Alec, you will give Agatha the initiative.

Now that he stays by himself, it will at most make his father feel an eyesore, as long as he doesn't think he will launch a coup, he will endure some things.

As for the destruction of the eternal life secret technique experiment...

According to his father's performance these days, it may not necessarily be considered a bad thing.

The experiment of the secret art of eternal life has not been restarted again, and the related experiment of the extraordinary species cultivation center has not continued, and other similar experiments have also been terminated. Presumably, Father also understands that I am not the only one who doesn't want him to prolong his life.

The father no longer pursued the continuation of life, the second prince went to the west to suppress bandits, and Meteor and Agatha showed signs of separation.

As long as the fighting on the southern front is fierce, it will reflect the strength of the barbarian army, so that my father will not dare to make big moves on the southern front.

I... just need to wait for the great changes in the palace.

Fania, who was at ease in her heart, did not have any troubles because of the unsatisfactory battle on the southern front. Instead, she talked about her attack strategy on the Tedgar Hills.

This is the initial stage of the war, and the empire is superior to the Tedga Hills in terms of national power. If Fania wants to take the initiative to attack, the emperor of the empire will certainly not stop it. Emperor Augustine ordered the cabinet to organize materials and personnel as soon as possible to supplement the southern army.

Then talk about Raging City.

Augustine the Great said to Agatha: "The war against Celtic is not as optimistic as we imagined at the beginning. This battlefield may last for a long time, and it will consume a lot of national power of the empire.

Raging Waves City, as an important economic city of the empire, should play a more active role in this war. "

Agatha had talked a lot about this war in her correspondence with Luke, so she was prepared for it.

"Father...when the empire declared war on the Tedgar Hills, the acting governor of Meteor Star had already urged the upper council of Raging Waves City to prepare supplies for the imperial army.

Now Raging Waves City has prepared more than 1,000 tons of military supplies, including more than 40 kinds of consumables such as canned food, quilts, palm oil, flour, dried fish, medicines, and fire crystals.

After the cabinet issues a pass, it can be transported to the southern battlefield.

The acting governor of Meteor said that he will continue to prepare more supplies to support the imperial war. "

One thousand tons of military supplies is not a lot for a city of the size of Raging Waves City, but these are the most urgently needed things for the war, so it can be seen that Meteor is still interested in this war.

Besides, the battlefield was really sudden. Raging Waves City raised a thousand tons of supplies in such a short period of time, which is considered very fast.

It also shows how influential and controlling Meteor is in Raging Waves City.

Emperor Augustine praised: "Rage City is much better than before under the management of Meteor. Gabriel, you new lords should learn from Meteor. Only when the empire is strong can you make money!"

Chief Assistant Gabriel knew that Emperor Augustine was beating his new nobles, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, our new lords are also actively donating money and materials, and these things will soon be sent to the southern battlefield."

Fania was smiling all over her face at this time, and the value of staying in the imperial capital was reflected in this way. Not only can you participate in the imperial cabinet meeting, but all donated materials are sent to the southern line.

Nobody mentioned Alec on the Western Front.

Fania glanced at Agatha with her eyes: Sister, this time I miscalculated.

Then Fania said: "Father, after Meteor's acting governor took over Raging Waves City, he not only brought more taxes to the empire, but also donated so many military supplies.

In one fell swoop, he wiped out the abyss mages lurking in the imperial capital, and beheaded one of the abyss apostles. Such outstanding talents should take on more responsibilities.

I heard that you intend to marry Princess Dai to Meteor... If Meteor can become a member of the royal family, he will definitely be more loyal to the empire. "

Fania proposed to marry Princess Daier to Meteor at the imperial cabinet meeting, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was reasonable.

The battle to wipe out the abyss mage exposed the complicated relationship between Meteor and the royal family.

Some people couldn't help looking at Agatha.

If the meteor really fell on the First Prince, it would be a serious blow to Agatha.

Emperor Augustine didn't expect Fania to raise this matter before himself... still impatient!

But since the First Prince brought it up, Augustine also wanted to see other attitudes.

He first asked Agatha: "Meteor is your person. His real identity includes his real name...Only you know. Meteor is indeed a very rare talent, and his age is also suitable for Daier. But his identity background Whether you can marry Dai'er, you have more say."

Meteor is the code name, and Agatha has never disclosed the real identity of Meteor, making everyone think that he is involved in too many secrets of the Secret Service.

But marrying the princess of the empire is not only a matter for the empire, it is also a major event in the international arena, and the identity of Meteor must be made public.

It's just that Agatha really doesn't know who this meteor is.

He remembered what Qingkong had said to him, and the promise he had made to Dai'er. Agatha said: "Meteor's true identity has always been the top secret of the Bureau of Secret Intelligence, and disclosing his information requires multiple considerations.

However, for Princess Dai's marriage, we should give more consideration to her wishes. Having experienced the attack, as a sister, I only hope that Daier can be happy and not be reduced to a political tool. "

Agatha wanted to respect Dai'er, but in the eyes of others, she was preventing Dai'er from marrying Meteor.

In connection with the rumors that have always existed in the court, Agatha's attitude this time is simply to admit the correctness of those rumors.

Family?

Are the Augustine family kinship?

Fania thinks she has caught Agatha's weakness, as long as Dai'er is married to Meteor, Meteor will definitely leave Agatha. He said: "As a princess of the empire, you should assume the responsibilities of being a princess! Your three sisters have done very well, and none of their husbands participated in the Celtic rebellion.

Meteor and the Raging City he manages are very, very important to the empire, and I believe that Meteor will treat Dai'er well, and Dai'er will be very happy in Raging City. "

Agatha stands by her promise to Del.

"If Dai'er is willing to marry Meteor, I will definitely bless her. But if Dai'er is not willing to marry Meteor, I will definitely protect her wish. Kind Dai'er is different from us, she deserves what we look forward to but Happiness I never had."

Fania was even more sure that this was Agatha's weakness. He said to Emperor Augustine: "Father, as father and emperor of the empire, we will obey your wishes."

If it was in the past, Emperor Augustine would of course be willing to see the meteor fall to Fania, and perhaps wait for some decent records on the southern front, and then give him the position of crown prince.

But now Augustine has a lot of suspicion about Meteor, and Ruofania relies too much on Meteor, which is not good for the empire.

What kind of person Meteor is, you need to see it with your own eyes.

Augustine the Great was very confident in his ability to know people.

And thinking of his little daughter, it was hard for Augustine to harden his heart. These days, Dai'er really came to accompany her whenever she had time, and happily talked about interesting things about her in class.

Dai'er's innocent kindness without any impurities is unconsciously warming Augustine's cold heart.

"Faniya is right. While enjoying the honorable status as an imperial princess, she also shoulders heavy responsibilities. But the empire is no longer an empire that requires a princess and marriage to maintain stability.

Dai'er will marry when she becomes an adult. She has the right to choose her own happiness, but she must choose within the scope I stipulated.

The palace will hold a coming-of-age ball for Dai'er, and all unmarried aristocratic children of the right age in the empire can participate. I will send blessings to every pair of lovers who are attracted to each other. "

It is a tradition for the Imperial Palace to hold a coming-of-age ceremony ball for every adult prince and princess, but it is absolutely rare and generous to invite all the children of nobles of the appropriate age in the empire.

Augustine's move is obviously to hold a large-scale blind date party in the name of Daier. Combined with the fact that it is now a wartime, it has more meaning. If done properly, a lot of benefits can be collected for the empire.

Hearing that Augustine wanted to publicly recruit a husband for Princess Daier, all the cabinet ministers immediately changed their expressions.

Originally, they thought that it was nothing for the First Prince and the Eldest Princess to compete for the meteorite, but they actually waited for such a big surprise.

Who doesn't have many young people of the right age!

If you can get the favor of Princess Dai at the ball, it is tantamount to picking up a big leak in this royal battle.

The chief minister of Gabriel immediately stated that he would make every effort to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony ball for Princess Dai, and ensured that those noble children who came to the imperial capital would see the power of the empire.

Neither Fania nor Agatha expected that Augustine would temporarily change his game. Didn't he always want to marry Dai'er to Meteor?

What does the emperor want to do?

After the imperial cabinet meeting was over, all the passed issues were suppressed by Princess Dai's coming-of-age ceremony ball, and they had no sense of existence.

Marrying a princess is like a fairy tale to most people.

Now, the fairy tale is right in front of you.

Emperor Augustine said that as long as Princess Dai likes each other, he will offer his blessing.

All of a sudden, all the noble children who were eligible to participate in the ball were gearing up for the news. They received court etiquette training, made up lessons to learn literature and poetry, and invited the most professional dancers to undergo the most rigorous dance exercises.

They all imagined that they could receive this crown that fell from the sky.

Luke, who was in the City of Raging Waves, also received news that the palace would hold a coming-of-age ceremony ball for Princess Dai, one from Copper Mulberry Avenue, and one from Agatha's handwritten letter sent by Kailinna.

Agatha said that she could not see through her father's intentions. After all, he has privately stated many times that he wants to hand over Dai'er to Meteor. This time Fania took it to the cabinet meeting to talk publicly, and his attitude turned to a completely irrelevant direction.

Not like his style of doing things.

Luke also couldn't figure out Augustine's intention to do this. Could it be that he really wanted to attract the noble children of the right age from all over the empire to the imperial capital?

So Luke wrote back to Agatha.

Said that whatever the intentions of Augustine the Great, it was a good thing for Dyer. She can choose who she likes and who she doesn't like, which is a major breakthrough.

Then Luke told Agatha that he is now in Rage City, and he will return to the imperial capital after finishing the business here.

Seal the letter and send it out.

Luke, who sneaked back to Raging City, lived in the Sissai Palace of Viscount Iskran. After sending the letter, Luke went to the private room on the second floor of the opera hall, where he and Viscount Iskran made an appointment to meet.

Iscoran waited here early, and after Luke came in, he asked his men to guard outside.

"Governor, I heard some rumors from the imperial capital that you and the eldest prince jointly carried out an important military operation. Everyone in the Reform Society hopes to know your intentions, so that we can cooperate with you."

The Reform Society was established under the banner of the Eldest Princess, and this time Meteor is so close to the Eldest Prince, it will inevitably arouse some confusion and discussions.

Luke drank red wine, enjoyed the opera on the stage below, and said casually: "No word in the program of the Reform Society is to be loyal to the eldest princess. The Reform Society serves the interests of all members. Everything I do in the imperial capital is from the raging waves. Starting from the interests of the city, we will ensure that what Raging Waves currently owns and what it will have in the future can be recognized by the empire."

Viscount Iscoran was shocked, isn't this the one who can become the emperor of the empire?

"My lord governor..."

Luke turned his head at this moment, and smiled at the worried and confused Viscount Iskran: "You convey what I just said to other members of the Reform Society, so that they can work for the society with peace of mind, and there will be no trouble in Rage City. thing."

Viscount Iskran immediately understood.

The current scale of the Reform Society is very large, not everyone is loyal to the eldest princess, and Governor Meteor's preference for the eldest prince may be what most people want to see.

What the governor said just now was to release a wrong message to the outside world.

In fact, he is still loyal to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

"My lord, I know what to do."

Luke nodded and said, "It's good for you to know alone. I came back this time with an important purpose, which is to form an urban militia team."

Viscount Iscoran asked in surprise, "Are you going to fight?"

"Isn't there a war going on?"
