Chapter 106 The Storm Is Coming

"The other two princes are also coming to the banquet?"

Hearing General Pastor's explanation, Duanmuhuai frowned, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, the order we received was that the two princes will also participate, so the entire Altdorf needs to be under martial law that night, and no one else is allowed to go out, and everything is sealed off."

"In other words, trap everyone at home to die."

“…………………………”

Faced with Duanmuhuai's sharp words, General Pastor had nothing to say for a while. Although martial law in the whole city is logically reasonable, but... Once you have doubts in your heart, you will see many problems.

"Did the eldest prince invite you on his own initiative?"

"No, the other two princes requested it on their own initiative. They said that it was because His Majesty took back Mordheim. They all believed that His Majesty was the chosen one, so they voluntarily surrendered and were willing to obey the eldest prince as emperor."

I don't believe it.

Duanmu Huai pouted.

"Then His Majesty also thought it was time to end the civil war, so he warmly invited the two of you to the banquet together."

"So, the day of the banquet is the most troublesome."

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. From this point of view, the three parties may have their own careful considerations. The eldest prince is willing to lure wolves into the house, probably because he thinks that he occupies Altdorf's geographical advantage and can also set up traps here. As for the second and third princes, if they are not fools, they must know that this will be a Hongmen banquet, but they are still willing to go to the banquet... Well, I guess they obviously have enough self-confidence to be able to turn their backs on the guests at this banquet.

It is conceivable that Altdorf will be extremely lively that day.

"I have arranged for my family to leave Altdorf early."

General Pastor also lowered his voice. He has been to Mordheim and knows how terrible those cult rituals are. He doesn't want his family members to become victims.

"Aren't you afraid of being suspected?"

"Anyway, it's just a few days, and I don't care."

Pastor is not a fool. Obviously, something will happen in the king's city on the day of the banquet. At that time, he has no other choice.

"So, any news over there?"

"not yet………"

"..."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai frowned. He was referring to the witch hunters. Since they transported the dimension stones to Altdorf, the witch hunters went to track down the final whereabouts of the batch of primordial stones. . After that, there has been no news about him, and it is not known whether he is still investigating or has died on the way to the investigation.

"I hope you can step up your patrol work on the entire Altdorf in the past few days, and record any abnormalities and tell me, maybe you can find some clues."

"Okay, I know."

General Pastor also nodded, and now he has no other choice but to follow Duanmuhuai's instructions.

After making a decision, Duanmu Huai also raised his head, looked at Altdorf under the shadow outside the window, and sighed silently.

I don't know... Is it going well there?

Meanwhile, the Bretonnian capital, Caracasone.

As night fell, the noisy street gradually calmed down. Alisa turned the signboard to "Closed", then locked the door of the shop and returned to the house.

"call……………"

Raising her hand, Alyssa stretched.

After escaping from the empire, Alisa, her mother and others have been running a small jewelry store in Karakasone mainly for civilians and mid-end users. The money they earn is not much, but it is enough for life. The life here is quite peaceful, at least for them, after a long escape and trek, they are very satisfied with their current life.

However, just when Alisa was about to go back to rest, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Hello, Miss Alisa."

"Why---!"

Hearing this sudden voice, Alisa was startled. She turned her head and looked, only to see a black figure standing quietly in the corridor not far away. Through the burning candle, Alisa He saw that the other party was wearing a cloak, wrapping himself tightly. This made Alisa a little uneasy, but for some reason, the voice just now made her feel a little familiar again.

"You, you are..."

Under Alisa's gaze, the other party took off the cloak, revealing the long silver-white hair inside, and the delicate face like a doll...

"Miss Augis!"

Seeing Augis, Alisa almost yelled excitedly, but soon, she covered her mouth again and looked around curiously.

"Where is Lord Knight? Didn't he come with you?"

"The master has something urgent, so he sent me to check on your situation."

Augis stared at Alisa without any fluctuation in her eyes, and Alisa was somewhat disappointed when she heard Augis' answer.

"That's right, I thought I could meet Lord Knight again..."

"So, Miss Alisa, how is your life now? Are you satisfied with your life now?"

"Woo..."

Facing Augis' inquiry, Alisa somewhat hesitated.

"I think...it should be pretty good. Although it can't be compared with when we were in the city, it is very good now. The neighbors nearby are also very friendly, and everyone is helping us. Although we occasionally meet There are some things that don't go well, but it's not a big problem. Also, I think my life is good now, so I'm very satisfied."

"I see."

Hearing Alisa's inquiry, Augis nodded.

"Then, I take my leave."

"Hey? Are you going back? Why don't you stay and have dinner together, I also want to know the current situation of Lord Knight."

"The master has important things to do in Altdorf, so he sent me to see how Miss Alisa is doing."

Augustus replied lightly.

"Since Miss Alisa is doing well, I'll go back."

"Hey? Wait a minute, Miss Augis...won't you come to me, Lord Knight, do you need my help?"

However, just as Augis was about to turn around and leave, Alisa suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, but Augis just remained silent, neither affirming nor denying, but at this moment, suddenly, again There is a voice.

"It's about the throne of the emperor."

Hearing this voice, both Alisa and Augis hurriedly raised their heads and looked up, and then they saw the elf scout sitting on the stairs on the second floor with a smile, looking at them.

"Ah, Elder Sister Elf! Where have you been all this time?"

"Sorry, sorry, I just went to inquire about some news, but I really got a lot of interesting news, especially that little pink bunny... Hahahahaha, sorry, I just want to laugh when I mention this."

Speaking of this, the elf scout jumped down and landed in front of Augis.

"Just right, I originally planned to have a good talk with Sir Knight, I wonder if you can take me to see him?"

“……………………”

Hearing the elf scout's words, Augis was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I see, the master will see you."

After being notified by Augis, Duanmuhuai also rushed to Karakasong by gunboat overnight, and met the elf scouts in a hidden grove outside the city.

"To be honest, Lord Knight, I didn't expect you to be able to do such a big thing in the empire."

When the elf scout saw Duanmuhuai, he still had a smile on his face, looking quite relaxed.

"It seems that you have a good understanding of the internal situation of the empire."

"Of course, I'm also a royal spy. If I didn't have this ability, I would have been dismissed long ago."

The elf scout gestured.

"I almost guessed what you are looking for Miss Alisa, you want to make her the Queen of the Empire?"

"What, is there a problem?"

Duanmuhuai naturally had this idea, but he didn't have to ask Alisa to do it. After all, the emperor of the empire is not a good place to sit, so he told Augis that if Alisa felt comfortable with his current life If you are satisfied, then don't talk about it.

It's just that the elf scouts suddenly came to the door to talk to him, which was beyond Duanmuhuai's expectation.

"Hmm... Actually, it's not a problem. Well, I'm not afraid to tell you that Miss Alyssa is indeed of royal blood, but...she is not the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Is the blood of the royal family, but not the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai frowned, while the elf scout shrugged.

"Well... Strictly speaking... she is the daughter of the first emperor, I think you should understand what I mean."

"………………………Aha?!"

Duanmu Huai was really confused at this moment.

"So you mean..."

"Well, that's what I said, do you understand now?"

"alright, I got it."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai finally understood why Alyssa's situation was so special. He originally thought that Alyssa was the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, and for some reason, she had to be handed over to the border lord to be raised. In the end, I didn't expect... Well, after a long time of trouble, Alyssa is not the emperor's daughter, but the emperor's younger sister?

Dude, no wonder it's kept secret.

If this is going to spread, it won't blow up the sky?

The first emperor was really old and strong... Duanmu Huai could only feel so emotional now.

"However, this does not prevent her from inheriting the throne."

"Well, that's true, but...... In fact, I got a piece of news not long ago."

Speaking of this, the elf scout stared at Duanmu Huai and said.

"That is... Your Majesty is probably still alive."

"oh?"
