On the evening of March 22, 415, the Royal Palace of Atroca.
Pale yellow magical light lowers the low atmosphere suitable for sleeping, and the room is surrounded by dark frescoes with gorgeous purple and black beds, pearl black wine cabinets, tables and chairs, and dark frescoes on all sides.
Catherine, who had removed her veil, took a glass of water and fed it to the man in the soft gauze tent, and the two talked in a low and slow voice.
"I'm sorry, Catherine's order about that man, I ordered him out, he coughed up he went too far, you shouldn't have let your men do such a thing, cough cough" The man sitting on the bed in a black nightgown had a hoarse and weak voice, every time he said two words, he coughed and breathed uncontrollably, the man's body was broad and burly, but his body was already thin and weak to the extreme, his cheeks were sunken, and there were some wrinkles on his forehead, but it was difficult to tell his age on the surface, forty years old, fifty years old, sixty years old, it was possible.
However, even so, with the man's every move, an unconcealable majesty and domineering spirit was still revealed from time to time, adding an indescribable brilliance to this sick man.
This is the current emperor of the Atroka Empire, Brandt.
Atroca.
"I'm sorry, brother" She lowered her head, a hint of confusion flashed in her brown eyes, and then, Brant's large thin hand gently pressed the back of her hand.
"I don't mean to blame you, Catherine, that man, it's called Al, you see, I remember the name" Brandt's face bloomed with an indifferent smile, "Last time you came to tell me about him.
I know you value him very much, you want to reuse him, whether it's the viscount or the earl, just give it to you, what kind of grudge he has with the Wall family, if you want to lend him strength, I won't stop it, but this time it's different.
Catherine, Ammat's strategy is a basic example of chivalry, and it doesn't matter if there is any problem, talk about it privately.
However, this time on such a formal occasion, there was the presence of the main elf, and there were people from the military department who controlled the scene and said such things.
It's the big rebellion, Catherine, I have to say, he's too out of proportion.
It is a great rebellion, and a person who truly understands the current situation and affairs will not do this.
He's completely lost to the Wall family."
"Brother, he doesn't understand.
There are a lot of details in fact, he doesn't know, he's still young.
You need guidance, and sometimes it's inevitable to make mistakes.
Geniuses make mistakes, brother, that's only occasional."
"yes."
Brant sighed weakly, "But it doesn't matter how you make a mistake, some mistakes are enough to give him up, Catherine, you shouldn't lose too many chips for this matter."
"I can't give him up, brother."
This sentence suddenly blurted out, Catherine subconsciously pressed her brother's thin palm to her cheek, "You can't give up on him, he has hope in him, my plan, Atroka needs him in the future, you can't give up on him at this time." ” "Is he that important, how does he compare to his brother" Brandt smiled in his eyes and made a small joke, "Catherine, he's just a child" "He's not, brother."
Looking into her brother's eyes, Catherine said firmly, "He is a treasure trove, the more you come into contact with him, the more and more things you can discover, the excellent and magical ones, although they have not formed a clear system, but in his body there is a vast energy like the sea, as long as someone is willing to find out, he can support an era If you don't believe it, brother, I can bring him to meet you."
"I'm upset, Catherine I'm upset," Brant muttered in a low voice, and stroked his sister's long hair on the back of his head, "I don't have to bring him here, anything that might take away his sister's land is my brother's enemy, there is a very vulgar saying, what is it called, sister is half of my brother's buttocks, hehe Catherine, tell me, does he have any special meaning to you like Kina does" "I—I don't know, he's my friend, brother."
Catherine's expression froze slightly.
"Friend" Brandt chewed on the word lightly, and after a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't understand this word, Catherine, the royal family has no friends, not even family affection, but at least I have a sister, this is my greatest gratification."
Catherine, since I was a child, I haven't been able to do much for you, and it was even me who took your father's life with my own hands."
"Brother, don't say that" "No, Catherine, this is a fact, maybe it was because of such a thing that Sinloth sent such a calamity to me Catherine, you should have a simple life, a happy family, a caring husband, these should have been sent to you with both hands, but I can't do anything Even though I can secretly kill Jack you don't like for you, but in fact I can't bring you anything, you actually blame me, blame me for killing the person you think is a friend" "No, Jack doesn't matter, brother."
Shaking his head, "Jack is not important, I just don't think it's good to kill people, even if I married him in the first place, it wasn't a bad thing" "You didn't care then, but I couldn't.
Catherine, I will mistakenly give you to marry him, and after finding out, I can only choose to send him to the battlefield and then kill him, but even so, you still haven't been happy, and it is your responsibility to put the best man in the world in front of you and let you choose to be your brother, I can't do it but if you find it yourself, I will you" "Brother" "Go ahead and do it, Catherine, to save people You are the queen of Atroca, do whatever you want, and one day you will be sure of your heart and think clearly, and then bring him to me and tell me what a wonderful man you have found, better than me."
After struggling to say this, the Emperor of Atrocca gasped for breath rapidly, almost to the point of suffocation.
Catherine smoothed his chest with tears in a panic, and after a long time, Brant finally recovered, and a faint smile appeared in his breath: "I have written something while I am awake these days, and after I die, you will be Atroca's prison envoy" "No, brother, you won't die," Catherine shook slightly, and then shook her head firmly, "A lot of people are working hard for your condition, and I won't be a prison envoy."
"Nope.
Catherine, I know you're worried about something, cough, cough" Then there was another violent cough, and Catherine told her brother to stop talking.
But Brandt insisted, "You're worried about Freret, who is narrow-minded and won't allow anyone to stand on top of him."
But you and I can see very well that Freret, even though he is the best of my children, he will not be able to make it to the end of the day.
I know too well where his abilities are, he just thinks he has the ability.
Actually, no.
He thinks he has a measure.
In fact, no, he thinks he is higher than others.
Cleaner than others, in fact, he is not a person like him, if it is well controlled, someone assists and someone restricts, there is still more than enough to keep it, but the situation is already chaotic, if he will mess up everything, I need someone to be able to abolish him, of course, cough cough cough cough I just cough worry that it won't even come to that day" A rare red tide enveloped the weak face, followed by a violent cough for several minutes, Catherine tried to call someone, but her brother's hand grasped her tightly, and struggled to express the meaning of "It's okay", after a long time, the cough finally stopped, and Brant lay down on the futon with Catherine's support, supporting his extremely weak body, and he still whispered to his sister.
"Catherine beware of the Wall family and beware of Ifrit A lot of things, I have only recently thought clearly, beware of Ifrit, no, you, you can't fight them, I can't tell you clearly, I can't let you choose to collide with them Maybe, maybe there is a turnaround now, but you have to be prepared for the worst, Willie is the power of the province, you must firmly grasp it in your hands, leave as many chips as possible In such a situation, you can ask for help from the Light God Palace if necessary, but the Light God Palace will not want to waste its strength in vain, You'll have to have the chips to get their help to Catherine, the country is in the abyss, and you have to keep the last hope of the Atroca family."
When she walked out of the door of the dormitory, Catherine's heart was still in an extremely shocking state, although Al's matter was troublesome, but it was not without a solution to the elder brother's death, but what did the elder brother mean in the last paragraph Beware of Wall, beware of Ifrit He even said it twice, it seems that the Ifrit family is more dangerous than the Wall family Looking back on the actions of these two families over the years, the focus of the Wall family is on the military, and the focus of the Ifrit family is on the economy, speaking of which, Ifrit is relatively close to the royal family, and the Wall family wants to be close but can't do a good job after all, and finally has to bump into the Atroca royal family in some aspects, under the joint suppression of the two major families of Ifrit and Atroca, the situation of this family is not optimistic.
But it was also because of the shadow of the orcs this time that their strength had increased sharply, and they had faintly suppressed the other two major families in many ways, and even had a tense atmosphere.

However, the spark is there, in the current situation, it is impossible for the Wall family to do anything dangerous, to plunge the whole country into the abyss of destruction, they do not have that kind of strength, judging from this, the brother is referring to the Ifrit family, who have always maintained a state of peace Speaking of this family, no one in the entire continent dares to take them lightly, whether there is a sword saint like Bakna Rorschach or not, they are always sharp, they are involved in a wide range of fields, they act whimsically, they can't figure it out, often don't know when, this family will give the entire continent an unexpected shock.
At present, this family is extremely powerful in the country, but if they are planning something to push the entire empire into the abyss, it is not impossible, because no matter what they do, it is not impossible However, the odds are too low The current situation, the secret constraints of the Central Ministry.
Rationally speaking, there is no information that can explain what strange things the Ifrit family is doing, and the brother's vision and judgment are beyond doubt, if it were not for the strange illness that was finally confirmed as a curse after less than two years on the throne, he was absolutely confident that he would be able to bring the empire to a glorious tomorrow, but in the case of his illness, is it possible that it is because of his illness that affects his judgment These chaotic thoughts exist in the brain and ultimately have no results.
Turning a corridor, she heard Kna and Ena talking.
"I'll tell you.
As soon as your dad wakes up, give me a way to annoy him, and make sure he promises not to do anything to Al, if he doesn't.
You've been annoyed all the time, well, you're still annoying ” "But my father will be angry, and he will be beaten."
"Does it matter if you get beaten with Brother Al, if he doesn't agree.
Al is going to die, Al is so good, he will play with you and show you magic, you are so ungrateful.
I won't play with you anymore."
"Uh, Ena doesn't want Brother Al to die, so don't ignore me.
I'll definitely go and say it."
"That's pretty much it.
I made you two flowers this time."
"Kna" shook her head.
Catherine walked out with a displeased face, first wiping away tears for the weeping Princess Ena.
"Kina, how can you do this, Ena, don't listen to Sister Kina, your father is not in good health, and it will be even more uncomfortable to annoy him again, don't do that, you know" "But people don't want Brother Al to die."
"Yes, they're saving Al, so it's okay to bother once in a while," Kna said aggrievedly.
"Heh, Al will be happy to know that you are worried about him." smiled and touched Ena's forehead, "But Brother Al's matter is handed over to Auntie, no problem, don't cry, okay?"
"Hmm" Ena burst into tears and nodded.
When she returned to the villa, it was almost late at night, and Kna wanted to go to Al after hearing that Al had fallen asleep, and finally turned back to her room.
A short time later, Catherine appeared in the room used for the office, and at the same time lit several magic lamps and candles, enveloping the whole room in an atmosphere that was too bright to slumber from sleep, and with a touch of her forehead, she pressed a small circle on the wall, and in a few moments, through the narrow passage, the sound magic carried her voice to the underground chamber.
"Ann, are you on duty today, come up."
"Yes, ma'am."
The cold-faced woman's response came from below, and after a while, a bookshelf on the side turned open, and Angelina walked out of it with a scroll.
"Ma'am."
"Hmm."
Sitting behind the huge desk, Catherine put her hands on her forehead and exhaled, "You all know about Al, have the preliminary countermeasures come out?"
"Yes, in fact, no one went back today, including the big staff, everyone is busy down there."
"Well, that's fine, I've got the highest authorization, that is, any method can be used, but I still hope not to make things too big, if you want to do it, it's probably to arrange for Al's stand-in, let him escape in person, and then hide in the shadows, everyone should understand everything at the end of the hand, are these already being prepared?"
"Yes, these have been prepared according to the procedure, but this is not the main thing we are preparing."
"Oh," Catherine smiled, "have you figured out a turnaround?"
Nodding, the cold-faced woman slowly knelt down: "In fact, I want to ask Madame for her guilt, because there are some things that have been carried out in secret without Madame's permission, in fact, we have been preparing this matter under the leadership of Mr.
Resaduk since a few days ago."
"What do you say" Hearing such a thing, Catherine's eyes suddenly became sharp, but Angelina's face remained unchanged and calmly stated the facts.
"In fact, a few days ago Mr.
Resaduk proposed a plan, which he was going to explain to his wife at that time, and before that, he gave us an assessment as usual, but when the preliminary assessment was completed, we thought that this matter was very shocking and could definitely have a great impact on the military department, but Madame may veto it."
The voice was indifferent, and Catherine said, "Go on." ” "I discussed with several supreme deacons repeatedly, and finally after Mr.
Rezaduk's confirmation, it was decided that in this matter, it was necessary to deal with it in Article 2 of the rules for handling extraordinary incidents, so at the beginning of the matter, we concealed it from Mrs., and Mr.
Rezaduk did it alone, although there was some derailment later, Mr.
Rezaduke also involved the power of the Light God Palace and the main elf, but in the general direction, there is still room for redemption."
"Extraordinary Incident No. 2" Catherine smiled indifferently, "In this way, it is possible for me to prevent the progress of the matter with personal feelings, Alhe made such a big thing, I am indeed possible to stop it, so what is the reason for what he wants to do?"
Thinking back to the horror and shock when the news came suddenly, and the apprehension when she hurried to the palace to intercede with her brother, Catherine was really angry at this time, and even had some grievances in it that made everyone worry about him, how could he be like this "Madame will probably understand after reading it."
Angelina said as she handed the scroll in her hand to Catherine, "Actually, Madame should not blame Mr.
Rezaduk, the statement about the affair is only the result of my discussion with several high deacons, Mr.

Rezaduk originally scoffed, thinking that such a move would cause Madame to misunderstand, and insisted on saying it, but under our turn of persuasion, we finally decided to accept our opinion, in short, this is something written by Mr.
Rezaduk, it is a book of war. ” Calming down, Catherine opened the sheepskin scroll, and the first thing that caught her eye was several Zhongzheng fonts Tianxia Buwu as the title:
