Chapter 609 The Incident of Gabera 7
Antonio came to the emperor's palace, but lingered in front of the door for a long time, unwilling to go in.
Aldrich, who was following him, took a step forward and said to him: "Your Highness, since the matter has happened, the next scene must be faced. Avoiding will not solve any problem."
"You are right, my maester," said Antonio.
He straightened his clothes, looked solemn, raised his steps, and walked up the stairs.
The guards standing at the door saluted him. Of course, these guards were all Antonio's people. The emperor's original bodyguards have been assigned elsewhere.
As soon as Antonio entered the door, he saw Amprov standing there. Amprov stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, your father is in a low mood now. He needs the comfort of his closest relatives. Please go in quickly."
Antonio patted Ampolo. The husband's shoulder, "You did a good job, thank you for guarding, thank you for protecting my father."
After saying that, he passed Amprov and walked into the bedroom inside.
On the bed in the bedroom, an old man with a haggard and sad expression was lying. The emperor of the Gabela Empire seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
His eyes lost their former brilliance and were filled with turbidity, and his hair became messy due to his own tearing. The skin loses its luster and becomes dull.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to no longer care about the outside world. Even when Antonio walked into the room, Bartley Griffin did not raise his head.
The palace maid standing by the bed saw Antonio coming, with a look of awe in her eyes. Now she already knew that the young man in front of her was the future ruler of this empire. His words will determine the fate of countless people.
The maid bowed and saluted, Antonio waved his hand to ask her to leave. The prince came to the bedside and called softly: "Father, I'm here."
It was only then that Emperor Bartley Griffin slowly raised his head and said, "Are you here? he said, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
Antonio sat down gently on the edge of the bed. The emperor looked at his second son beside him. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and hugged Antonio hard, and burst into tears.
Amborov outside the door heard the emperor's cry and immediately broke in, and what he saw was this scene.
Antonio also stretched out his arms and hugged his father tightly, and his eyes became moist.
Antonio said slowly: "Father, I will govern this country better. It will become the greatest country in history and carry the glory of every human being."
< br>Antonio stayed in his father's room for half an hour before coming out. Outside he saw a person who surprised him - Siegfried.
Antonio stepped forward and hugged him, "My friend, my brother, I need you by my side so much now."
Siegfried responded to his hug warmly, "I will stay forever By your side, Your Highness."
He looked at the bedroom door and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty...how is he?"
Antonio shook his head, "This is the case. It hit him hard, and it will take time for my father to heal the sadness in his heart, but eventually he will realize that this is reality."
"Speak of how. Appeared here? "According to the plan, Siegfried was supposed to lead the army with Marshal MacDonald to move near the imperial capital and attack the acropolis where Duke Dias' cronies were stationed.
Siegfried smiled and said with some disdain: "The cronies of Duke Dias are really vulnerable, and now only one acropolis is still resisting."< br>
"Marshal Macdonald said that leaving him to command the army is more than enough. He asked me to lead some soldiers back to the imperial capital quickly to deter those guys who are still sitting on the fence and watching."
Antonio said: "When we took action, Duke Dias got the news from somewhere and ran away. He ran to lurk outside the imperial capital, and we haven't found him yet. Therefore, I suspect that he is lurking in this still-existing city. In the resisting Acropolis, you send someone to inform Marshal MacDonald, and you must be careful and careful, and you must not let go of the Duke himself or any of the remnants."
""Your Highness, I will take care of it." , please rest assured! "Siegfried replied very seriously.
After coming out of the emperor's palace, Antonio called a meeting of the Ten.
"Your Highness!" Master Matt proposed a motion of his own at the meeting.
“Barnett has been missing for too long, we should find him.”
As the most powerful melee spellcaster, Barnett is the most powerful melee spellcaster in the Arcanum. He has a pivotal position and is the undisputed leader of their faction. But embarrassingly, Barnett hasn't been heard from for several years.
In the early days, the senior officials of the Secret Order did not take it seriously, because Barnett had an arrogant personality, was always alone, and always went his own way. His personality is not lovable, and absorbing him as a member of the ten-man group would mean a certain compromise.
Many people are secretly happy that this guy doesn't appear in front of them often.
But even so, as such an important figure, it is unjustifiable to disappear from the organization for so long. He was even absent from such an important action as Prince Antonio's capture of the imperial capital.
This is no longer a character flaw! But it was a serious dereliction of duty and he must be punished.
But before that, the Arcanum must find him. Find out what he is currently doing? Or is he no longer in this world. In fact, many people hope it is the latter.
Antonio said: "Considering that he has not returned to Gabeira for such a long time, we must take into account the possibility that Barnet has rebelled."
< br>
"I agree with your idea!" Master Matt nodded.
“And in order to deal with his possible rebellion, we must send powerful people to deal with him. After all, Barnet is a powerful melee spellcaster, and a group of ten is needed to deal with him. Your Highness , it’s up to you to designate it!”
“I would like to hear your opinion, Master Matt”
Dougherty Matt thought about it, “I suggest delegation. Master Odenel and Ms. Red Flame Mariana go to find Barnett. Odenel is a master who is good at spiritual magic and has a strong control over Barnett. If Barnett rebels, With the cooperation of the two of them, they will definitely be able to impose sanctions. Moreover, Ms. Mariana is from Aldo, and she is very familiar with it."
"In this case. , so be it.”
Antonio agreed with Dougherty Matt's suggestion.
