Apostle of Cthulhu

On the top floor of the palace, in the room where Egbert was under house arrest.

Egbert was very anxious. Although he had participated in the last stage of the judgment twice before, no matter which time, he was not as anxious as today, pacing back and forth all the time.

I told Si Wei the location of all the remaining experimental products in the School of Life Sciences. If he really didn't help me, but used this incident to attack me, then let alone the judgment, I wouldn't even be able to win the support of the people.

All along, the image he created for the entire empire was that of a perfect emperor, but if the people knew that such an emperor was conducting such an inhumane experiment in private, it would definitely arouse public anger.

Theoretically speaking, I have almost never done anything good to Si Wei. Even if I gave him a lot of action funds, I think with Si Wei's IQ, I know that it is a kind of surveillance on him.

Including the pass, it is also to enable me to control Si Wei's movements at the first time.

Now, he still wants others to help him, which may be considered as a kind of arrogance.

Sitting at the desk, Egbert looked at the bright sunlight outside the window. Birds flew past the window, holding branches and leaves in their mouths, and flashed by.

The afternoon breeze relieved some of his anxiety.

However, before the final result came out, Egbert still couldn't remain absolutely calm.

Dong, Dong.

Someone knocked gently on Egbert's door, and he jumped up from the chair.

Because the guards responsible for monitoring him would definitely not knock on the door, and they would never think of coming in!

And now, someone knocked on the door, which meant that the person must be Si Wei!

He took a deep breath and tidied his luxurious clothes. Even if he was defeated in the end, he would welcome his end in the most kingly manner.

Walking to the door, Egbert opened the door.

But the person standing outside the door was not Si Wei, but Al, who had a good relationship with him.

"Al?" Egbert was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you stay in the Duke's Mansion?"

Al glanced at the room behind Egbert and asked, "Is it convenient for me to go in?"

Egbert smiled bitterly, "Okay, but you won't be able to stay here for much time. Where's your father? I have something to say to him later."

Walking into the room, Al came back to his senses and put his hands behind his back, "My father? He is not in the palace now. He is sick today. I participated in the final decision on his behalf."

Al participated?

Duke Taylor would suddenly fall ill at this time?

Instantly, Egbert reacted and laughed at himself.

He understood what this meant. Duke Taylor was on his side, but Al was not necessarily.

Although he could be regarded as Al's godfather, as long as Al's other personality went up, Siwei could completely manipulate the vote of the opposition.

In that case, the only opposition who absolutely supported him would also give his vote to the other side.

Siwei... you really can't be underestimated...

Seeing Egbert's slightly miserable smile, Al asked curiously: "Uncle Egbert, why do you smile like that?"

Egbert didn't know how to start for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he chose to confess, "Al, my era... is over."

"It's over, but not so soon."

As soon as Egbert finished speaking, Siwei walked in from the door that was not completely closed and said these words.

Egbert was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Siwei meant.

Al explained: "He means... in the final ruling, you won, Uncle Egbert."

Win... win?

His title of king has not been taken away yet?

"Don't be too happy too soon," Siwei said, "The reason why I helped you this time is just that I don't want to see a group of worse guys in power. At the same time, it can be regarded as a step for you to step down. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Egbert, who had not yet reacted from his ecstasy, was hit by a blow. What's the point of this speech? Si Wei is forcing himself to step down!

In a sense, being impeached and stepping down by one's own choice have different meanings, and even have something to do with the evaluation of Egbert in the future.

If this is the ending, Egbert will definitely be more accepting.

"Alas..." He sighed, "Is it really inevitable that I can't escape this ending... Yes, I know what I have done."

Even if Egbert wants to resist Si Wei's ideas, what's the use? Si Wei holds the research records and experimental products of the Academy of Life Sciences in his hands, which are the most terrible things for him, and he can only listen to him.

After ruling for so many years, he is indeed not a fully qualified king.

He always wants to control everything in his own hands, including the secrets of missionaries.

Si Wei knows very well that the Boxia Bunker ended up like that because he wanted to replace the gods. And Egbert's idea will sooner or later anger the gods.

In order to avoid a catastrophe, Si Wei can only choose this method.

"I don't care who will take over after you step down. But you'd better think about one thing clearly. There are many people who want to seize power in the entire empire. You'd better not involve some people who have nothing to do with you."

The meaning of Si Wei's words is even simpler, that is, let Egbert specifically involve Al.

Egbert nodded, his body limp on the bed, bent his waist, and hugged his head.

At this moment, he couldn't control his emotions after all, and cried in a low voice.

Al was a little flustered. He looked at Egbert and wanted to look at Si Wei again to ask him what to do at this time.

But at this time, Si Wei had disappeared.

No trace, as if he had never been there.

——

When the final ruling came out, the whole country was in an uproar!

Those who knew the inside story knew that Si Wei must have been involved, otherwise with Egbert's power, it would not be enough to overthrow the Privy Council's deep roots over the years.

Those who didn't know the inside story began to sympathize with the king who was involved in the impeachment storm for no reason. After all, his achievements were obvious to all.

However, eight people have begun to care about other things.

As the reset day is getting closer, four candidates, three messengers, and a guy who has become an outsider but still refuses to give up have quietly started their own planning.

The final result has not yet arrived.
