King

Xueyue collar.

"Franz, you did a good job during this trip to the imperial capital. The situation is unclear, so putting yourself first is the best policy!

As for His Majesty's situation, it was probably due to a conspiracy. There are only three people who can plot against him in the palace.

It is impossible for the Queen to take action against His Majesty, so the only ones who can hide from the guards and take action against His Majesty secretly are Alpha I and Princess Madeleine.

This is the price of one's own lack of strength!

If Caesar IV was also a strong man in the Holy Realm, these little tricks would be a joke.

You all should take this as a warning. No matter how high your position is, it is all empty. This world is ultimately a world for the strong. "

Using the emperor as a negative teaching material, Hudson also worked hard to cultivate the strong heart in his sons.

The current Koslow family, as long as they don't mess around, is one of the top nobles in the mainland.

The situation of the royal family is similar, and the family wealth is much stronger. Unfortunately, there were too many hidden dangers inside, and Caesar IV did not have enough skills to calm the situation.

When Alpha I showed his ambition to usurp power, he should have taken action immediately and killed this guy directly.

Even if he missed the first time, there were several opportunities to take action, but Caesar IV missed them all.

It's easier to deal with Princess Madeleine. Just throw her out to a fiefdom and the matter will be solved.

For example: throw it to the edge of the Koslow family and arrange a semi-surrounded territory.

It can not only check and balance him, the marshal of the human race, but also restrict Princess Madeleine from getting bigger, killing two birds with one stone.

I don't know if it's because of my lack of brains or my overwhelming self-confidence that I dare to put two hidden dangers under my nose.

If this doesn't happen, it would be the biggest surprise.

"Father, you can rest assured that we will work hard to practice!

Just the situation in the empire, how do you think it will develop next? "

After making guarantees on behalf of his younger brothers, Franz asked with concern.

"Don't worry, the situation in the empire will not get out of control. No matter who is responsible, their goal is just to seize power.

But there's going to be a reshuffle in the court!

The conservatives holding power alone have already caused dissatisfaction from all parties. It is estimated that many people will wait for the opportunity to take action against the Six Ministers and let His Majesty take the blame.

In addition to these two people in the court, the emerging nobles, the powerful factions in the royal family, and even other big families within the conservatives may be waiting for opportunities to take action.

They have blocked the way of too many people. If your brothers were not too young to hold power in the court, maybe the Koslow family would also take action against them! "

Hudson's answer shocked his sons. Politics is also terrible. The six ministers in charge of the court have so many people who want them dead.

In times of peace, the court is a battleground. What everyone is competing for is not only a position, but also the right to speak in the empire.

It is very dangerous for a big noble to stay away from the center of power for a long time.

In the past, the situation in the court was stable and no one dared to act rashly. Now Caesar IV lost control of his emotions and suddenly overturned the table, giving everyone an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After he succeeded, he slammed the shit basin on the emperor's head. If everything goes well, they can also wait for an opportunity to force Caesar IV to abdicate and replace him with a young master who is not a threat.

Normally, the royal family would have stepped up to prevent this from happening. It is a pity that there were two careerists in the royal family at this time, and the internal divisions immediately occurred.

Hudson did not think that Princess Madeleine and Alpha I had no supporters within the royal family.

Once Caesar IV abdicates, the two are likely to serve as auxiliary ministers and handle political affairs in place of the young emperor.

"Father, what will your Majesty do? No one will go..."

Before Franz could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted directly: "Remember, in the world of aristocrats, status always determines stance.

His Majesty's temperament suddenly changed, and you could tell that something was wrong. Didn't those old foxes in the court notice it?

No one is coveting this rescue. There are only two possibilities: either it is beyond their capabilities, or it is contrary to their own interests.

Just wait, the nobles loyal to His Majesty will take action soon.

Judging from the information collected so far, His Majesty has not completely lost his mind. The fact that he did not seek help from us immediately only proves that I am also within the scope of his suspicion.

After all, whether it’s ability or motivation, I have them all now! "

A person with great achievements will inevitably encounter suspicion.

In the eyes of the outside world, if there was an accident on Caesar IV, Hudson was definitely the top suspect. If you go up to it at this time, you will definitely get into trouble.

Even if he solves the trouble for Caesar IV, the suspicion he faces will not weaken at all. This is the instinct of a monarch.

From the perspective of the Koslow family, it is undoubtedly more in line with their own interests to replace them with a young master.

Unless the royal family still trusts him and comes to ask for help, he will not get involved.

…

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The six ministers who had just left the palace were attacked by assassins on their way back.

The guards rushed forward to fight, and the nearby city guards arrived at the scene immediately after receiving the news.

With everyone's hard work, the assassin was quickly repelled. The city guards were preparing to chase down the remnants of the assassins. Prime Minister Beckett in the carriage immediately ordered: "No need to chase, they won't survive long!

Escort me back to the mansion first. The road ahead may not be smooth. "

Under the escort of the city guards, the convoy set off again. The chilling atmosphere continued to spread to the outside world as the convoy moved forward.

"The situation has changed and the plan has been cancelled!"

"The situation has changed and the plan has been cancelled!"

…

Seeing a large number of fellow city guards and realizing that the opportunity was lost, the assassins who had ambushed the buildings on both sides in advance chose to retreat.

This scene made Alpha I, who was hiding in the clouds and watching, very disappointed.

From the first wave of assassinations to the arrival of the city guards, the connection was completely seamless. It was obvious that they were well prepared.

The power of assassins lies in their surprise. The enemy is on guard. If they continue to attack, the assassination will turn into a violent attack. No experienced assassin group will do such stupid things.

Unless Alpha I takes action personally, Prime Minister Becket will not be able to stay today. There is no doubt that he would not do such a stupid thing.

There are many sergeants and guards guarding the area below. Once a fight breaks out, traces will definitely be left on the scene.

Even if all parties are willing to let Caesar IV take the blame, they will not let him go as an assassin. When the conservative camp retaliates, it doesn't matter who he is.

…

Similar assassinations continued to take place in the imperial capital. However, without exception, all the assassinations ended in failure despite the preparations made by the six ministers in advance.

The assassination failed, but the situation in the imperial capital became tense. The city guards directly blocked the city gate to hunt down the murderer, and started a no-entry, no-exit mode.

If there's something a little bit wrong, I'll arrest him immediately. The cell will be overcrowded for a while.

The small and medium-sized nobles who were staying in the imperial capital to watch the situation could only secretly feel annoyed at this moment. I thought I could wait for an opportunity to get a piece of the pie, but I never expected that the struggle at the top would be so fierce.

The emperor's detention of six ministers was already very explosive news, and first there was the scandal of the collective assassination of the six ministers.

Looking at the entire history of mankind, there are only a handful of political events that can rival it.

The occurrence of the assassination directly brought the hidden camp disputes to the surface.

Emerald Palace.

Caesar IV, who received the news, was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

During the process of detaining the six ministers, his people were not idle either.

We directly extracted the case files from the conservative period in power and selected the "spear" suitable for launching an attack.

The edict to remove the six ministers had been drafted and was about to be sent out, when something like this happened.

As the emperor, he actually became the biggest suspect.

The emperor sent people to assassinate ministers. If this charge is proven, it will be an anecdote for the ages.

The changes in Caesar IV could not be hidden from the people next to her. After realizing that something was wrong, the queen hurriedly sought help from the powerful men in the royal family.

Except for Alpha I, all the strong men of the royal family gathered together.

They could ignore the political struggle, but taking direct action against the emperor would have crossed the bottom line.

“It seems like the power of a curse is deliberately amplifying emotional desires.

If you can summon a group of high-level priests before the gods fall, you can join forces to expel them.

Now in this situation, we are in big trouble! "

Lord Tai Lun frowned and said.

As a former archbishop, he had been exposed to many curses, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult one.

His intuition told him that this was not something that should exist in the human world.

"Uncle, maybe you can gather a group of light magicians and join forces to try the Forbidden Curse Great Purification Technique.

If it is convenient, it would be best to invite Marshal Hudson over for a look.

As the continent's number one magic potion master, he might be able to save the emperor's brother's life. "

Madeleine proposed openly.

She couldn't be more positive. Now that she was the sister of Caesar IV, she had to do things that fit her status.

Among everyone, she is the only one who knows the curse of the God of Desire, and she knows very well how difficult this thing is.

In the early stages, you can still expel it, but later on it will easily get out of control.

If they cannot be expelled, scenes similar to fainting will often happen in the future.

In essence, this curse kills people by amplifying emotional desires.

The suggestions given are all solutions, but only in theory.

Fortunately, the God of Desire has fallen, otherwise Caesar IV would have almost given up at the moment he was cursed.

Of course, while the God of Desire is alive, no one can bring out the power of the curse that protects the Kingdom of God.

"Mr. Palace, activate the magic circle immediately and send a message to Marshal Hudson. Be sure to ask him to come over!

In addition, the speed of recruiting high-level light magicians in the empire must be fast. "

The queen on the side immediately ordered.

As a model couple in the monarchy circle, she and Caesar IV had a very good relationship.

For her and the little prince, if something happened to Caesar IV, her sky would fall.

The major factions will be happy to put her son on the throne, but there is no real power. No one can expect a child of a few years old to handle government affairs.

Due to the special national conditions of the Alpha Kingdom, once the emperor is ousted, it will be difficult to regain power.

Caesar IV was not completely ignored, but his life was quite difficult.

“Queen, the six ministers were assassinated as soon as they left the palace, and they will definitely launch a counterattack.

Before they take action, pass on the news that His Majesty is cursed to eliminate the impact of the farce of the previous coup and not give them a chance to launch an attack! "

The outer Newfoundland Grand Open mouth proposed.

After all, he was a prime minister, so he still had some sensitivity to political struggles.

From the perspective of the royal family, Caesar IV's fall at this moment was also the best way for them to resolve the crisis.

All the responsibilities were pushed onto the curse, and the six ministers who had been wronged could not continue to investigate.

The emperor lying on the sickbed was the best explanation.

As for the estrangement, it could only be repaired by time. Once such a thing happened, it would be impossible to restore it to its original state in a short time.

"Just do as the Grand Duke wants!"

The queen replied in panic.

She had rarely participated in political things.

Now suddenly asking her to make a decision was embarrassing.

But according to the rules, if the emperor had an accident, the queen could obtain the power of temporary regent.

If she didn't want this part of power to be lost, the queen had to represent the emperor.

...

The news spread, and the imperial capital was boiling again.

First, the six ministers were assassinated, and now there was news that the emperor was cursed and plotted, and the nobles were all angry.

A few days after the establishment of the Alpha Empire, there were changes one after another. It was impossible that there was no black hand behind it.

For a time, all major forces were tracking down the black hand, fearing that they would be accidentally calculated.

Amidst the uproar, Hudson, who was invited, quietly entered the palace.

In order to avoid suspicion before, he could not take the initiative to get involved, but the situation was completely opposite when he was invited by the royal family.

As a minister, he must not sit idly by and watch his lord have an accident.

After a brief understanding of the situation, Hudson appeared in front of Caesar IV's bed.

"Your Majesty's physical condition is very bad. Temporary coma is the best choice. Once he wakes up, he may lose control of his emotions again.

I can configure some magic potions to help your Majesty regulate his body, but I am still powerless to expel the curse!"

Hudson said with pretended sadness.

It's not that he can't think of a way to expel the curse, but there are risks in the operation.

If he is not careful, while expelling the curse, Caesar IV will also be taken away.

Hudson can't bear the responsibility for the failure of treatment, and others can't bear it even more.

High-risk treatment methods can only be proposed by the royal family.

"Marshal, you have practiced the law of fate and sealed the curse temporarily, so you should be able to do it, right?"

Hearing Madeleine's question, Hudson frowned and said reluctantly:

"It is indeed possible to seal the curse temporarily, but the harder it is suppressed, the more severe the backlash will be when it breaks out.

The main reason is that it has been delayed for too long. If it were a few days earlier, it could still be barely expelled.

If the curse is forcibly sealed now, it will be fatal when it breaks out again in the future!

With His Majesty's current condition, I can only help him suppress the curse for a few months at most, and I will be powerless if it breaks out again.

Your Highness is proficient in the law of doom and has done a lot of research on curses. Is there a solution?"

After a wave of mutual revelations, everyone's eyes were focused on Grand Duke Madeleine.

The name of "Goddess of Doom" is well-known. Under normal circumstances, she should have discovered that Caesar IV was cursed and plotted against.

"The curse in my brother is suspected to be a curse left by the God of Desire. It is not visible in the early stage, and it will only be revealed after it begins to erupt.

From the symptoms, my brother was not cursed at the first time, but someone brought the power of the curse through a medium.

The power has been weakened a lot, and it can be expelled by the Great Purification. But now the priest cannot play a role, and can only rely on the light magician instead, and the effect will be greatly discounted.

Even if the curse is successfully expelled, the life span will be greatly reduced. I am afraid it will be difficult to live for three years, and it may not even last a year!"

Madeleine said frankly.

She did have her own calculations, but Caesar IV was not plotted against by her, and now she has a clear conscience.

"We can't wait any longer. The power of the curse is spreading. I am afraid we can't wait until the arrival of the mage group.

Marshal Hudson, the two of us will work together to drive the Glory Scepter and expand the power of the forbidden spell as much as possible. We should be able to expel the curse."

As he spoke, Venerable Terran took out the Glory Scepter directly.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly retreated to leave space. The queen, who had lost her ability to think, also left the bed.

After a slight hesitation, Hudson took out a bottle of life-saving potion, walked forward and poured it into Caesar IV's mouth.

His originally pale face soon turned red. The outside world only thought that the potion had taken effect, but in fact Hudson took advantage of the situation and absorbed part of the curse into the compass.

"Now we can start!"

In the blink of an eye, the dazzling light filled the whole room. The peaceful light fell on Caesar IV, then began to wander around, and soon covered his whole body.

As the person being treated, Caesar IV's body began to decline rapidly. When the forbidden spell was released, the whole person looked twenty years older.

"The curse expulsion was very successful, and His Majesty will wake up in a while. The next step is to find out the mastermind as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes later..."

After saying that, Hudson stepped aside directly.

Caesar IV had an accident in the palace, and it was difficult for outsiders to get involved. It was basically certain that it was done by an insider, and the mastermind behind it could only be investigated by people in the royal family.
