The Dictatorial Lords

What happened in the imperial city soon spread to the imperial palace.

The old emperor sat on the throne with a majestic expression on his face, which was an aura that was naturally cultivated after being in a high position for a long time.

There are already many people below, whether they are officials or princes, they have all arrived. There was no sound at all, and I dared not speak. Waiting quietly, this is like suffering. Waiting for the question from the person above.

"Tell me, how did the First Prince be killed in the imperial city?" An indifferent voice reached their ears. They all knew that the tiger was angry.

The current royal family of the Orc Empire is the tiger head. Cooperating with the king character on the forehead, the coercion is even stronger. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the royal family was still a family of lions. I don't know what happened later. The royal family became the current Khajiit family. People outside don't know, but they still know a little. The royal family of the Orc Empire has always changed between the lion people and the tiger people. That's why the first prince dared to take the lion-human race this time.

"Say it. What's the matter? Didn't you guys have a lot of fun some time ago? Why are you all dumb now? Huh?" The old emperor still said in a flat voice.

"In the imperial city, assassins actually sneaked in to assassinate the prince of the orc empire, and they haven't been caught yet. Let alone caught, even if there is no clue at all, what do you usually do? Is it because the empire has not had wars for a long time? Have you forgotten how we orcs founded our country? Tell me. Tell me about it today. Our monarchs and ministers haven’t discussed these things together for a long time.” The old emperor said again.

An indifferent voice sounded in their ears. They were sweating coldly. Especially for the princes, they were the ones who were making trouble during this time. Even if the first prince and the second prince were more aggressive than them, it cannot be ruled out that the old emperor will punish this incident.

In the quiet hall, everyone just stood there bent over. At this time, the main family of this incident, Robert, stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this matter is our Rob family's fault. The meeting between the little girl and the eldest prince led to such a thing. Please look at it, Your Majesty." In our family's loyalty to the Empire for generations . . . "

Before Robert finished speaking, the old emperor interrupted: "Okay. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Since the princes have been fighting for such a long time below, and I didn't stop them, it is considered their acquiescence." Move, or do you think you can escape the supervision of the imperial guard just by relying on their little tricks? The emperors of all dynasties are selected in this way. I am also the same. The eldest prince was killed, which shows that he is not as good as others. If he sits on the throne Assassinated. Hmph."

The old emperor said indifferently. This is how he sat on the throne back then. How could there be nothing wrong with the fight for the throne, and the assassination was all due to his inferior skills.

"What I want to say is that according to the rules of the royal family, princes fighting for the throne cannot kill each other, but now the eldest prince is dead. I believe that the princes don't have the courage to challenge the rules of the royal family. The murderer must be someone else. Hmph, you guys Don't you understand what I want to ask you? Huh?" The old emperor looked a little angry at the group of courtiers below.

Hearing the emperor's words, all the princes immediately said: "Yes, yes. Father, it is absolutely impossible for us to challenge the rules set by the royal family. It is impossible to assassinate eldest brother."

Looking at the panicked faces of the princes below. The old emperor was even more angry. He scolded: "Look at the prospects of you bastards. What? Now that you know you are afraid? Now you know that there are royal rules? I don't think you have the slightest mercy in your actions below? Now that something happens, you know There are rules? Ah? Look at your second brother. Believe what he did, you know better than me, right? Ah? He actually took the initiative to provoke the lion people, ah. Do you think the lion people are like the strength they show? Really? With this kind of strength, why do they compete with us tiger people for the royal seat? Ah? If I hadn’t warned them, you would have been killed. Damn. Why did I give birth to you bunch of idiots. Get out. Get out "Now the old emperor thought of what his sons had done during this time, and couldn't keep his indifferent expression anymore, so he started yelling.

A group of princes got up immediately and fled out in a panic. They don't dare to say anything now. Everyone knows that the old emperor is in a rage, and it is not a good thing to provoke him now. Maybe it's possible to demote you to a commoner.

In the hall, a group of ministers watched the emperor teach a group of princes, but did not speak. I can't manage it, and I don't dare to control it. They don't want to harm the fish in the pond.

After subduing his fury, the emperor said again: "You also know the cause of this matter now, please tell me? Who dared to assassinate members of the royal family in the imperial city. This has not happened for a long time. I just heard this When I got the news, I thought it was the lion tribe. Thinking about it again, it couldn’t be them. After all, those princes didn’t offend them too much. They didn’t cause them any loss, and I warned them.” The emperor slowly analyzed.

Then Robert slowly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard from my daughter that they are a group of well-trained killers, all dressed in black, who missed a single hit and retreated quickly. At that time, they wanted to kill my daughter. But the little girl's screams attracted the guards outside, and they retreated immediately when the little girl's screams sounded. This level of killers cannot be trained by small forces. After the little girl's description, I can only use training Well-trained, with a tacit understanding. Under the circumstances at the time, they were fully capable of killing the little girl before leaving, but they didn't. It can be seen that they would not make unnecessary sacrifices as long as the target person is confirmed dead. Every move is terrifyingly calm. Otherwise The little girl died this time too."

A killer of this level is not so easy to train. Every family here has similar killers, and it is impossible to do this. Give up such easy-to-kill people decisively. As long as the task is completed, survival comes first.

That kind of people. Such tacit understanding, such decisiveness. No one would believe it without years of accumulation and years of training.

"Your Majesty, until now there has been no news from the searchers. It can be seen that they are very good at hiding. These assassins don't know whether their main target is the First Prince, or whether they use the First Prince as a bait to disturb our sight. We have to guard against any ulterior purpose. In the current imperial city, the princes are fighting for the right to inherit. At such a moment, a group of assassins suddenly appeared. I suspect that someone wants to muddy the water in the imperial city to achieve something impossible The purpose of suing others." said the minister.

"Your Majesty, the First Prince was assassinated at the residence of Mr. Robert's daughter. We should first monitor Mr. Robert's daughter. Since they assassinated the First Prince at the residence of Mr. Robert's daughter, it is very Obviously, they have been monitoring for a long time. We are not sure if they are still here. We must not let go of the slightest clue now." After finishing speaking, the minister turned to look at Robert and said: "Robert, my lord. I Nothing against you, but we can't let go of a clue."

Robert also knew that it was impossible for his family to escape this matter, and it was not bad to not be imprisoned but monitored. He nodded with a stiff expression, and said with a smile: "It should, this incident has always happened on the ground of our family. As loyal subjects of the empire, we absolutely cooperate with the investigation of the empire."

See you, the old emperor. After talking for so long, he didn't have any constructive suggestions. He was a little disappointed and said: "Okay. Let's stop here. You go down and investigate carefully. What forces in the imperial city dare to do it here? The wind makes the rain. You must not let a suspicious person go. But you must not disturb the order in the imperial city. Bury the eldest prince well."
