Working Prophet

Du Lun was speechless again. Ilea didn't know if it was her imagination. She seemed to see Du Lun glance in her direction.

The female lord wondered whether the former captain of the royal guard was ill and sought medical treatment. She hoped that she could come out to help and say something at this time.

It's a pity that Du Lun found the wrong person. Although Ilea sympathized with Du Lun, she was self-aware.

She is just a small nobleman in the western region, a mascot that Garth found to make up the number, and any person in this hall today is much higher than her in status.

Miss Rabbit felt a little regretful after speaking just now.

Because the military minister Olis looked at her obviously not very happy, not to mention that whoever speaks for Du Lun at this moment is tantamount to offending the new emperor of the empire, and Ilea doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Therefore, I can only support Du Lun mentally, and Miss Rabbit turned her head and found that her backbone was gone. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Yu to return to her side.

"Where did you go just now?" the girl lowered her voice and asked curiously.

"Let's talk to a place with few people." Li Yu said calmly.

Ilea knew that Li Yu had a wireless walkie-talkie on his body and could communicate with people outside even in the Junlin Tower.

But the female lord didn't know why Li Yu suddenly contacted people outside. She scratched her head, and then noticed that Cornelia was also looking this way.

To be more precise, the priestess was staring at Li Yu.

Li Yu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, because it didn't matter even if Cornelia saw him using the walkie-talkie, the priestess didn't know him at all.

Du Lun was already being escorted down. The guards were very polite. They said they were escorting him but did not take action. They just let Du Lun walk to the dungeon by himself.

Du Lun didn't resist anymore and left the palace silently.

The interrupted coronation ceremony could finally continue, and this time there were no uninvited guests to disturb it.

Garth got his wish and wore the crown symbolizing supreme power, took over the family's ancestral sword, and became the new emperor of the empire.

When the representatives of the other eleven major families swear allegiance to him one after another, Garth did not immediately give an afternoon banquet as usual, but announced two things first.

The first thing is a reward.

Garth publicly offered a reward for the discovery of Edward II's murderer.

Although Du Lun, who was in charge of investigating this matter before, has now been imprisoned, the new emperor obviously does not intend to give up revenge for his father.

The reward offered was a full 100,000 golden lions, and he once again proved his innocence through this move, eliminating the possible adverse impact of Du Lun's "slander" on his reputation.

This is undoubtedly a very smart approach.

But the second thing is a bit confusing. Gals... arranged the marriage between his younger brother, the third prince Alister, and Duke Schroeder's daughter "Icefield Rose".

Duke Schroeder is the head of the Monteverde family, one of the twelve great nobles of the empire, and the Monteverde family rules the northern border of the empire.

The climate there is cold, but the land is vast and the products are rich, especially fur.

The most important thing is that Duke Schroeder has only three daughters and no sons. Among them, the eldest daughter believes in the beast god Domon and became the high priest of the Icefield Church. The third daughter is too young, only less than six years old.

In other words, once Alister marries Duke Schroeder's second daughter, he also has the right to inherit the northern territory.

Of course, for a big family like Monteverde, it is impossible to really give the territory to the Vespasian family through marriage.

Most likely, Duke Schroeder will let his youngest daughter inherit the territory, or choose a male from the offshoot of the family and put it under his name.

But even so, Alister is still very likely to become the de facto owner of the northern border.

Duke Schroeder's health is not very good. He has stayed in the south to recuperate in recent years, leaving all matters in the territory to his second daughter, who is Alister's fiancée, to handle.

After the two get married, Alister will also live in the north, and the couple will handle government affairs together. Considering that Icefield Rose is a woman after all, and it will take quite a while for Duke Schroeder's third daughter to grow up.

Alister's power in the north is definitely not small, this marriage is an opportunity for him.

But the question is why Gals was so generous and gave his younger brother such a strong backing.

You must know that the two had a quarrel a few days ago, accusing each other of being related to the death of Edward II.

The nobles in the hall couldn't figure out the reason for this at all.

Could it be that Gals actually trusted his younger brother so much that he wasn't on guard at all?

This is of course impossible.

Gals didn't really want to let Alister go north, but it was a deal between him and Cornelia.

Gals did not expect that after the death of Edward II, Cornelia would choose to support Alister.

Fortunately, the priestess promised that Alister would not compete with him for the throne, and was willing to help him solve any troubles he might encounter.

Considering the terrifying influence of the Church of Life in the capital, Gars can't turn against them for the time being, so it's better to send this threat to the northern border, out of sight and out of mind.

Although the place was vast, there were not as many people as in the Western Territory, and there was also a Beast God Cult. Garth felt that Allister and the Church of Life would not be able to make any waves there, so he finally agreed to the deal.

After talking about these two things, Gals finally announced the start of the luncheon.

After hearing this, Miss Rabbit, who was already a little hungry, couldn't wait to rush to a plate of cream apples, and then got herself a plate of peacock meat...

She didn't care much about politics, and she didn't know anyone here. She didn't talk to each other like other nobles, discussing the few things that had just happened, but just immersed herself in her work.

The food at the tournament has already made the female lord full of praise, and the food provided on Garth's coronation day is even more exquisite and rare.

If you miss it again, you don’t know when you will be able to eat it again.

The female lord has made up her mind that this time she must hold the wall in and help the wall out.

However, she had just eaten when she was 30% full when there was another noise outside, and then someone shouted.

"No, there are assassins, those from the Wing Tribe. They are really here! Protect Your Majesty quickly!!!"

While talking, another group of royal guards rushed in from the outside and surrounded Galsili on the third floor and the third floor.

Gars was a little unhappy. He didn't expect so many things to go wrong during his coronation ceremony, and the guards seemed to have mentioned the Wing Tribe just now.

Garth asked a guard who came to escort him, "Where is the assassin now?"

When the guard heard this, he pointed upward and said, "It's right above our heads, Your Majesty."
