In the study... Scold me?
The second prince was puzzled for a moment.
Know you can't return to heaven, so you can only be incompetent and angry? It's too heavy, isn't it?
Not even Royal decency?
"Hum! What stupid brothers..."
The second prince snorted with disdain, and his evaluation of them was a little lower.
"I thought that deliberately angering the old eight guy and promoting the two people to work together could bring me a little surprise. Now it seems that I still think highly of them."
"Your Highness, our plan to clear the two princes in advance..."
"Let's put it aside for the time being. If the other party doesn't take the lead, we'll get out of nowhere. At this time, it's not necessary to completely annoy the one above for these two wastes.
Anyway, they can't escape my palm. "The second prince sneered.
He picked up his glass again and shook it, his eyes deep. "It's the nine younger brothers. They've been jumping around recently."
The ninth Prince has made frequent moves recently and has also taken over a large number of contacts and resources controlled by the emperor. It is rumored that his majesty intends to abolish the elders and establish the children and pass the throne to the ninth prince.
Many nobles gathered in the past when they heard the wind. They seemed to be the fourth largest faction outside the second prince, the fourth Prince and the eighth prince, and became a dark horse competing for the throne.
"But it's too late to enter now. My father seems to be out of his mind and confused..."
After drinking the wine in the cup, a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the second prince.
"If you pass on my orders, you'll cut Lao Jiu first and make an example!"
"Yes, your highness!"
……
While the imperial capital was changing, the iron wall fleet finally returned to the territory of Archduke Horton after a long journey of nearly three months.
"Has the tail been cleaned?"
Viscount Tiebi asked as he put down his communicator and put on his commander's combat uniform.
"Yes, viscount, the chamber of secrets has been thoroughly cleaned to ensure that even a cell and DNA will not be left." there is a little sweat on the adjutant's forehead.
Kill a secret guard of the second prince and completely evaporate him from the world.
This is not playing with the heartbeat, it is playing with life!
Although I don't know what Viscount Tiebi is torturing each other, my intuition tells him... It's very dangerous, extremely dangerous!
"Don't worry, you can treat it as if it hasn't happened. If something comes to light in the future and someone comes to investigate it, I allow you to put the responsibility on me."
"What is this, viscount? My subordinates would rather die than betray you!" the adjutant looked awe inspiring.
Viscount Tiebi nodded noncommittally.
"Next, I'll go to the Duke's residence alone and apologize to the Duke for the failure of this mission. After you lead the iron wall fleet back to the station, repair and stand by.
Remember, no one can be transferred without my order.
If... If I haven't come back in three days, you will lead the brothers and obey the Duke's orders. "
Although the secret guard didn't say anything in the end, his abnormality has explained the problem.
Enchantment... May really exist!
Judging from the appearance of the secret guard, I'm afraid his trip is a narrow escape. If his action fails, he naturally doesn't want these brothers who have been with him for many years to be buried with him.
The adjutant's heart jumped when he heard such words as if they were his last words.
"Viscount, my subordinates will go with you!"
Thinking of the Viscount's kindness to his promotion, the adjutant suddenly blurted out his head.
Viscount Tiebi turned around and looked at him seriously. The next moment, he suddenly grinned.
"Good!"
"Er..." the adjutant's head was confused, and the sweat came down directly.
That's it?
How can you promise?
At this time, according to the routine, shouldn't you be moved to encourage me, then pat me on the shoulder, politely refuse, and finally leave a windy back?
He almost wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Impulse is the devil!
"Ha ha!" the Viscount Tiebi burst into laughter.
Patted the adjutant on the shoulder and waved his hand without looking back.
"I heard you're going back to your hometown to get married this time. If I have a chance, I'll go to the wedding!"
That back, unspeakable free and easy.
"Lord Viscount..."
……
Duke Horton's palace, located on the third planet of Horton system, has a history of nearly 1000 years.
Although it is not as magnificent as emperor star, it also occupies nearly one fifth of the planet and sits on an independent continent.
It took half a day, after layers of checkpoints and all weapons were confiscated, the small shuttle ride by Viscount Tiebi was allowed to land on the apron.
When Duke Horton entered the drawing room, he saw the iron wall Viscount with a straight waist and a solemn face.
"See, my Lord."
Seeing Archduke Horton, who has not seen him for a long time and has gray temples, it is inevitable that there is a slight fluctuation in the tone of viscount Tiebi.
Duke Horton, who was keenly aware of the fluctuation, looked at the Viscount iron wall with some complexity, and immediately converged the emotion in his eyes.
"Well, now that you're back, have a good rest. It's hard to go back and forth during this time.
As for the fleet, you don't have to worry. I'll arrange someone to take over. "
Listening to the cold tone that seemed to care, but there was no trace of warmth, viscount Tiebi was cluttering in his heart, raised his head and looked at Archduke Horton in surprise.
What's the rush and tiredness? He's a 180 kg person who still needs people's love?
This is obviously to cut his military power!
Even if you have expected that you will be punished for the failure of the mission, you have seized your military power as soon as you start, which is undoubtedly the worst case.
It seems that... The consequences of secretly dealing with the secret guard are more serious than I thought
Did you touch that man's nerve?
His eyes inadvertently passed over the stone carving of "broken arm Janice" in the center of the reception hall, and the iron wall Viscount bowed his head.
"Yes! I have ordered the fleet to return to the station. The Duke can send someone to take over at any time. In fact, I haven't been on vacation for a long time. Thank you for your consideration."
He did not resist, because he knew that his little power could not turn the waves in the Duke's territory.
Resist with the fleet in your hand. It's just looking for death.
He came here today and was not prepared to use strong.
Seeing that Viscount Tiebi cooperated so well that there was not even a question, Duke Horton finally showed a smile.
In this case... Maybe I can ask your Highness for mercy.
It's impossible to continue to be in charge of military power. At least, keep him alive
"Your Highness, viscount Bruto is asking for an audience."
Just then, the housekeeper suddenly came in and said.
Pluto? What's he doing here?
Prince Horton frowned when he saw the Viscount iron wall sitting upright and with his normal face.
He knows that Pluto and Viscount Tiebi are hard friends. They are friends of life and death. Did they come to intercede?
"Let him in."
Not long after, a big man wearing a military armor and a bearded beard came in, followed by an attendant.
The visitor first saluted Duke Horton, "black flag fleet, commander Pluto of the second fleet, met the Duke."
"Yes!" Prince Horton nodded faintly.
"What are you doing here instead of staying at your station?"
"Hahaha! Duke, forgive me. I heard that Alfonso was defeated, so I came here to laugh at him!
I'd like to see what can make Alfonso shrivel! "Pluto laughed heartily and winked at the Viscount Tiebi.
Viscount Tiebi glanced at each other with implicit gratitude.
Yes, that's what he's going to do today... An important witness.
Pluto is not only a staunch royalist like him in political opinion, but also a close friend of his life and death. He is one of the few people under Archduke Horton who can be trusted.
Most importantly, he has another identity.
That's one of the commanders of the garrison fleet of the Horton system!
