That's a fake elf

royal palace.

Red Fort.

As the highest authority of the Kingdom of Pegliano, only nobles above the earl level have the opportunity to enter.

At this time, the three people who represent the ultimate power of the country are also undergoing a transfer of power.

The high-spirited Duke of York, while fiddling with the seal issued by the king, proudly glanced at the two half-brothers present.

Originally, he thought that he had no chance to control the royal city's garrison. After all, there was the Duke of Aurora, a highly decorated stumbling block, standing in the way.

But who would have thought that each family in this family was more stupid than the last. As a son, Sigrit actually reported his father and wife out of a sense of justice.

"York, this is my father's lifeline. You must protect it with your life." Prince Lionheart said solemnly.

"Your Highness, of course I know this." The Duke of York glanced at the Lion-Hearted Prince, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

What kind of person the old guy is, everyone present has a clear idea.

In his early years, the old guy was just an earl with a stigmata. Because of the royal family's conflict, he chose the right monarch, thus gaining the opportunity to rise to the upper echelons.

After killing all the rivals for the former king, the old guy stood aside the previous king, gained great popularity through reforms, and became the new king in one fell swoop.

Because the old guy himself obtained the throne through a coup, he has no feelings for anyone, even his own descendants.

From becoming the king to now, the old guy has had no fewer than ten heirs.

Prince Lionheart is the one who has lasted the longest, but he is also the one who scares the old guy the most.

Although the old guy gave Prince Lionheart the power of prime minister, he handed over the general power to him and Duke Aurora respectively.

In order to prevent Prince Lionheart from rebelling, he also deliberately created multiple political factions to make all blood descendants fight among themselves, while he looked down on everyone from a high position.

Even though the old guy is terminally ill now and may die suddenly at any time, in fact it is normal to live for a few more decades through some special methods.

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Just as the Duke of York was about to leave, Xion suddenly opened the door of the conference room and knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Barr, is this one of your men? Why don't you understand any rules? Don't you know that no one can break into the Red Castle meeting?" The Duke of York glanced at Theon and said with an unhappy expression.

"Perhaps there is something important." Duke Mana smiled slightly and downplayed Xion's sin.

"Humph, starting from tomorrow, I need all personnel from the North Wind Knights and the Royal City garrison, from lieutenants to generals, to report to me."

The Duke of York said coldly.

"This..." Xion glanced at Duke Marna in surprise.

"Listen to the Duke of York. He is now the supreme commander of all the troops in Xiongyue City." Duke Mana said with a smile.

"Theon, tell me, why did you break into the Red Castle meeting room without permission?" The Duke of York glanced at Theon contemptuously and said arrogantly.

"The North District patrol found traces of cultists and monsters in Fenghua Hall..."

"What did you say?" The Duke of York stiffened and grabbed Theon's collar.

"The North District patrol found traces of cultists and monsters near Fenghua Pavilion. It is visually estimated that dozens of nobles and guards from various countries have been killed. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, my subordinates requested the intervention of the Knights of the North Wind."

Xion said solemnly.

"No." The Duke of York said in shock.

"York, during the Warriors Festival, ensuring that the cultists will not cause chaos is your first priority as the supreme commander of Xiongyue City." Duke Mana looked at the sweating Duke of York, with a smile flashing in his eyes:

"You don't know, do you?"

Valley</span> "They're just cultists. How can the Knights of the North Wind be dispatched? I believe the garrison in the city can handle it." The Duke of York said with a forced smile.

Pegliano founded the country based on law and would never show mercy to nobles and royal family members who committed crimes, otherwise there would not be so many noble women in the Black Castle.

There are too many shady things in Fenghua Pavilion. If they were all exposed, he would die ten thousand times.

"Your Excellency, the garrison may not be able to solve the problem. Now each embassy has sent personnel to rescue the besieged nobles." Xion said with a wry smile.

"It's over, everything is over." The Duke of York fell to the ground, the royal seal in his hand fell to the ground, and he felt like he had fallen into an endless abyss.

Envoys from various countries sent soldiers for rescue. Everything in Fenghua Pavilion must not be hidden.

When everything inside is exposed, he will definitely become the target of everyone in Pegliano shouting to kill him. At that time, in order to quell the public anger, the king will never let him go.

"Here, help Duke York to go down and rest!" Duke Mana smiled slightly, picked up the royal seal on the ground, and placed it respectfully on the table.

"I...I..." The Duke of York was trembling and tried to take back the royal seal, but was directly escorted out of the Red Castle by several North Wind Knights.

"Brother, how do you think the matter should be handled now?" Duke Mana turned to look at the silent Prince Lionheart, with a trace of respect in his eyes.

"York is in a state where he can't handle things for the time being. Mike is also in custody and cannot act at will. You already control the North Wind Knights, so now you should also serve as the commander of the Royal City Guard Corps."

Prince Lionheart took a deep look at his brother, sighed helplessly, turned and left the Red Castle.

"Xion, mobilize all members of the North Wind Knights to seal off the Fenghua Pavilion." Duke Mana sat back on the chair in front of his desk, stroking the royal seal on the desk with a smile on his face.

"What about envoys from various countries?"

"If they want to go in, let them go, but if they come out, they must be isolated and inspected. After all, the brainwashing and bewitching abilities of cultists are extraordinary." Duke Mana said sternly.

"Yes, I understand."

As Duke Mana was the only one left in the conference room of the Red Castle, a black smoke flew into the conference room and transformed into a human form with silver hair and red eyes.

"Well done, Alina. Thanks to you, I was able to take over the highest command of the Xiongyue City garrison so smoothly." Duke Mana said warmly.

"Do you think what you have done can be hidden from Charlemagne?" Elena gave Duke Marna a deep look.

"The old guy has become dim a long time ago." Duke Mana sneered:

"At present, the North Wind Knights have been completely infiltrated by me, and they have been replaced by my people from top to bottom."

"The generals and officers of the Royal City Guard Corps also only look at the King's Seal and not the person."

"As for the West Wind Knights on the Hepe border and the Dragon Hunting Legion of the Scabbard Fortress, they have lost their backbone because York and Mike were imprisoned."

"Now in the Kingdom of Pegliano, who else can stop me from launching a coup?"

"Don't forget, Peliano also has the Knights of the Horned Eagle and the Priestess of the Moon in the Silver Moon Forest." Elena said expressionlessly:

"Fanasil's Jungle Warriors Legion and Pegasus Knights Legion can join the battle at any time as long as Milia gives the order."

"Haha, I have sent people to see Alice's descendants. I don't believe that she would even risk the lives of her children and come and fight me." Duke Mana said in a deep voice:

"As for Milia, I believe she is a smart person who knows how to make choices when things are impossible to do."

"If you dare to take action against Amelia and Ilya, I will kill you first." Elena frowned coldly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Don't worry, how could I do anything to my precious granddaughters? They will become the pillars of this country in the future." Duke Mana slowly stood up and said with a smile on his face.

"Hmph." Alina snorted coldly, and instantly turned into a cloud of smoke and flew out of the conference room.
