Chapter 604: The Incident of Gabera 2
“Sigrit sent word that His Highness Felix and Duke Dias are planning to take action in a week.”
Ms. Red Flame— —Mariana’s name within the Secret Order — said the information she had just learned with a calm expression.
Now she is in a secret room, Antonio, Aldrich, Jalvi, Amberlov, Carol, nine members of the ten-man group, and several others secretly Officials supporting the second prince gathered here to discuss the latest situation in the imperial capital.
Except for Siegfried and Macdonald, all the core members of the second prince Antonio’s faction are here.
Ambolov frowned and said: "Sure enough, once Marshal MacDonald and the army left, they couldn't hold it back?"
The thick beard on his face trembled, showing the owner's excitement. .
"Your Highness, I think we should take action before them. The first one will gain the upper hand, and the second one will suffer disaster."
An old man in black robe suggested to Antonio, his name It's Dougherty Matt. He is the most prestigious mage in the Mystical Society. Among this group of spellcasters with strange powers, he is second only to the leader Antonio. Most people have never seen Master Matt. Casting his own spells, but no one doubts his power.
Master Matt always wears a black robe. Even indoors, he often covers his face with the hood on the black robe, making it difficult for others to observe his face.
The leader of the Bachelor's Tower, Aldrich, also said to Antonio: "Master Matt's suggestion is very reasonable. Now is the time when Felix and Dias are the most arrogant. They think they have a sure victory, but they don't know that we are still there." There is a power of spellcasters hidden in the imperial capital. Your Highness, this is a small but sharp dagger. As long as it is used at the right time and position, it will have the effect of reversing everything."
Others also followed. Proposing their own suggestions to Antonio, everyone agreed to immediately gather forces to kill the eldest prince's faction.
Just when everyone reached an agreement, Antonio, the core character here, rarely showed signs of restlessness.
He stood up from his seat and kept pacing around the table without saying a word.
"Your Highness!" Master Odenel, the most adept at spiritual magic among the ten-man group, slowly stood up and said, "What are you still worried about now?"
"My father..."
Antonio's voice was hoarse, "How should I face him."
The room fell into silence.
Overall, Bartley Griffin is a good ruler.
But, unfortunately, he was unable to cope with the predicted bad situation. Moreover, it is almost impossible for such a king who grew up in a traditional atmosphere to recognize the legal status of a spell caster.
But spellcasters will be the core force in their plan for the future. They must be able to walk openly under the sun, and even occupy an important position in this country and on this continent.
Aldridge said with some seriousness: "I know, this is a painful decision. Bartley is a good father, but he is too biased towards the role of father. As a king, He should be more ruthless."
"Our tradition in Gabera is that the capable person rises to the throne. Your Highness, with your repeated achievements on the battlefield, he should have declared you as the heir to the throne. But because of his so-called fatherly love, he did not want to see his other son Felix sad and lost, so he has not decided on his successor."
"This made Felix and some people around him. It gave rise to illusions and caused huge doubts and uncertainties in more people. This doubts and uncertainties eventually spread to the entire country. People were divided into two groups fighting each other and intrigues. The power of the empire was wasted in vain. Spending time in such meaningless activities."
"So, Your Highness," Aldrich said solemnly: "As a Gabera man, I ask you to put an end to this. Only by uniting the empire can we unite this continent, and only by uniting this continent can we face the formidable enemy in the prophecy.”
Hearing the teacher's words, Antonio asked with some pain: "How should I place my father after that?" "Let him abdicate." Aldrich suggested, "Let him be the emperor's father. Enjoy the rest of your life, I think he will be proud of what you do in the future."
Antonio said nothing.
“Jie Jie Jie Jie!” A hoarse laugh came to mind. This was another person in the ten-man group, Enoch Christopher, a man who liked to deal with poisons and corpses all day long. A boring guy.
His head was bare, without a single hair, his whole head, not even his eyebrows. His cheeks and body were horribly thin, as if he were a skeleton covered with a layer of human skin.
"Your Highness." Christopher said in a joking tone: "Please forgive me for speculating on your father with the greatest malice. In other words, what I said can be regarded as a conspiracy theory."
Christopher He said terrible words in a normal tone, "Perhaps the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has delayed announcing his heir is because he did it deliberately. It was his original intention to make you and Felix fight each other. You know, as a For an emperor, your father is still young and energetic. He doesn’t want to see a..."
"Shut up!" Master Matt and Bachelor Aldrich shouted to Christopher.
Christopher shrugged his shoulders, huddled in his chair, and stopped talking.
Antonio stood there quietly, his back to everyone.
Maybe Christopher's words irritated him.
“Alas,” the second prince sighed, “This will be a life-and-death struggle.”
Carol stood up, walked slowly to his side, and pushed himself His soft palms rested on Antonio's shoulders, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Your Highness, we will all be by your side."
Antonio nodded, "Okay, then let's take action immediately."
When he turned around, all the hesitation and anxiety he had felt had disappeared. In the eyes of everyone, the imperial prince who had been victorious in every battle on the battlefield was back here again.
"Master Matt and Ms. Red Flame secretly gather the spellcasters near the palace, ready to assemble at any time according to orders."
"Yes, Your Highness, we will definitely do it."< br>
"Amborov, as the captain of the guard, pay close attention to the traces of Felix, Diaz and others leaving the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness." Amberov stood When he got up, he became even more excited, and His Highness finally made up his mind.
"Master Alvi," the prince looked at the bachelor, "go contact Macdonald and Siegfried. There are several places around the imperial capital that need attention..."
"As for my teacher, Aldry Master Qi, we must be prepared to respond to public opinion after our action is successful..."
