Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

The Knights of Dusk have been the eyes, ears, and swords of kingdoms since the creation of the Grenish Empire. However, the history was too long and they no longer had any past tense. It was right to say that fierceness was not only intoxicated by the power of the Independent Knight, but also because he was obsessed with laziness.

And last night, the emperor faced the consequences.

If there's a problem, it's natural to fix it.

The red-headed emperor slowly opens his mouth.

“Starting today, the Knights of the Twilight will lose their Independent identity. ”

The Knights of Dusk are to be the strongest spears and shields of the imperial kingdom. The Emperor saw that the cause was a considerable power as an Independent Knight. The power to cast men and gain many things without moving by themselves makes the Knights of the twilight stagnate.

At the end of the emperor's words, a heavy, silent shock spread out in the hall.

Removal of the Independent Knight... It's shocking. It was like taking away half the power of the Knights of the Twilight. It was a measure that would severely limit the scope of the Knights of Dusk in the future. But no one here could resist the Emperor's decision.

The emperor glances at the Knights of the Twilight with an expressionless look on his face.

“The Knights of the Twilight are clearing all ongoing missions. And give the whole Knight a new mission. ”

Gulp!

A low swallowing sound echoes through the hall. I don't know how big it is to give up all ongoing missions and hang the entire Knights. Besides, even the Independent Knights have just been stripped of their identity.

However, it was always about the Knights of Dusk, and that was all the emperor had to do when he gave the mission.

The lips of Emperor Criotes slowly opened.

“Remove Rowdys' succession at the same time. ”

Immediately, a heavy tension spreads through the hall. Revoking the imperial heir means creating or finding sufficient grounds to make it so. It was the same with the words "remove." It is because even the emperor cannot kill Duke Rowdith, who has the first succession.

And of course, Duke Rowdys was not an easy man to deal with.

Although he does not actually exert power in politics, he is also a first-largest successor because the forces he is building on Amri are unusual.

The emperor stares at the Knights of Dusk, which have been frozen for a while.

“The answer?! ”

Then the sober Fabentus quickly opens his mouth.

“I take my orders from the Emperor! ”

The secret hidden in the golden hall that was stolen from Klaus was powerful enough to bring him back from the throne, as Lycaen expected.

The secret was about the blood of the current emperor, precisely the blood of the lost Pargen Emperor. Emperor Parsen, the great grandfather of King Criotes, is the result of his mother's unfaithfulness. And the Parthen tradition of the emperor, the emperor Chryotes, was also a man whose blood was not mixed at all.

What was in the stolen golden hall was the key to the Secret Storage, and there was evidence in the blood of the Parthen Emperor in the secret storehouse that only the key could open.

At that time, Emperor Pargen discovered that and was about to destroy the evidence of the problem, and the golden hall was stolen.

After all this has happened, the only course of action that Emperor Criontes can take is to eliminate the Duke of Lowdis, who could threaten his place.

If Duke Rowdys dies, no one can open a secret vault anymore. As a result, the secret related to the blood of the emperor will be buried forever.

Of course, I don't intend to blackmail myself and leave the missing person alone. However, no matter how violent the nature of the emperor may be, we must not pursue him at this time, so we must bear with him.

The emperor emperor empowers one man to turn to Fabentus.

“You have two months. ”

At that moment, Faventus' expression shifts. It is almost impossible to do anything about Duke Rowdys in just two months' time.

But Fabentus couldn't say anything else. If I said no now, I also knew that I would be a corpse with my throat cut.

“I'll keep that in mind!”

The eastern hemisphere of the Kingdom of Bren has developed more waterways than roads. Thanks to the enormous Pollen River, which runs north-south across the eastern region. Of course, most of the logistics used boats, and people also took boats to and from north and south.

That's why there were quite a number of pottery around the Pollen River, the largest of which was Caventes.

It was in the middle of the whole of the Pollen River, but by far the most upstream. It is because if you go further upstream than here, it is inefficient to go up the waterway due to the rapid flow rate.

Therefore, for ships going downstream, it was the starting point and the end point for ships going downstream, and of course, there was no choice but to have large quantities of logistics.

Moreover, the geographical advantage of riding on horseback and running restlessly was that it could arrive in three days to the capital, Edelschut, and Caventes was a significant part of the conditions in which it could become the center of logistics.

A sailboat that just landed on that Caventes pong. There was a silver-haired man, Lycaen, who crossed the bridge from the boat to the potter's lane, and got off the boat and had a freezing light among the people.

“Wow! Even on the continent, that wasn't just an exaggeration! ”

The awe came from behind Riccianne. It was the voice of Elisha, a small woman with a big brim hat and muzzle covering her face.

Elisha covered her face with a hat and mule to avoid the eyes of the Empire.

She is now a priority wanted man in the Empire. Of course, they weren't on the lookout, but all the information from the Empire, including the Knights of Dusk, turned on the lights and was looking for Elisha.

It is easier to find Elisha who knows for sure than Lycaen, a mask whose face is not clearly visible. Of course, Lycaon was also not safe, so she erased the dye she was doing when she entered the empire.

Lycaen looks back at Elisha's amazement and mutters to himself.

“You seem to be settling down. ”

All the way from the Empire to here, Elisha was consistent with a dark expression. It was because he had already decided to follow Lycaen when he was in the capital of the Empire, but he could not rob the target of his loyalty of the shock of being abandoned like nothing.

But now he looks completely sane, just like when he first met Lycaen.

Elisha bends her eyes slightly and says in a playful voice.

“You don't have to keep thinking about what's already done, do you? ”

“If you're still shaking, I was going to leave you. Consider it a relief. ”

“Hmmm! There's so much I can do for you in the future. You may cry later thanks to me. ”

“We'll see about that... ”

However, the number of people following Lycaen was strange. When he was in the Empire, there were five of us, Julia, Elisha, Wolf, Tom and Jack. But now Anton, two maids and three knights are in the company of the Earl.

It was a ruse to evade the Empire's information network.

The route Lycaen came this far was through the Harrow. Crossing the southern border of the Empire, he boarded a ship off the south coast of the Republic of Morellia and returned via Lectus Bay in the south-eastern corner of the Kingdom of Bren. Then he boarded a boat back up the river from Lexus Bay and arrived here in Caventes Port. The identity that Lycaen and her group used during the move was that of an ordinary merchant.

And Anton boarded the ship as Lycaen. Of course, the maidens and knights who accompanied her were the identities of Julia, Elisha, Wolf, Tom and Jack.

In other words, there are six merchants in the Gulf of Lectus, and in the Broad Harbor in Robenos, there is a record that Earl Procus is on board.

It wasn't a brilliant or perfect plan, but it was a pretty helpful way to avoid the eyes of the entire continent.

After a short walk inside the porch, Lycaen says to Anton,

“Well done. Now you can go home. ”

Anton said with a slightly uneasy expression.

“Wouldn't it be better for us to go with you since you're here? ”

But Lycaen shakes his head with a big smile.

“Must be a lot of work to do on the territory. ”

“I know... but it's too dangerous to take just five people with us when we don't know what's going to happen in the capital." I heard from Raul that Earl Aezen, who was being kind to Earl Leon, must have had a grudge against him. ”
