I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

The army camped on the outskirts of Meijing, and Tasriel returned here at noon to share the good news with the officers who supported him.

Not everyone can have the skill of following the dragon. Several officers came out of the camp laughing and said they were going to prepare a banquet.

"They didn't raise any objections?" Lieutenant Tasca, who stayed after the others left, asked Lorengo.

"No, not only no, they also offered to let me take over the position of lord as soon as possible."

Lorengo looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree on the outskirts of Meijing and felt very good.

"Our intelligence is wrong. The province mobilized a large number of troops last night to deal with the military raid. It was not because Lorenbe returned to Medes and united with some people to seize power."

Tasca's eyes flashed and he said: "We also heard the news just now that Fesko Province, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Medes, was controlled by the military."

Lorengo frowned and said: "These bastards from the military department, sooner or later I will take Fesco back!"

The corner of Tasca's mouth trembled. Strictly speaking, he was also a member of the military department, and the Border King's Army was affiliated with the military department.

It's just that Lorenzo has been so powerful in recent years that he has managed the officers and soldiers in the territory into his own private soldiers...

"Ahem, I just have a few questions that I can't figure out." Tasca glanced at Lorengo.

Luolengo turned around and asked him: "What can't you figure out?"

Tasca smacked her lips in embarrassment, "I'm afraid that saying it will affect your mood."

"Stop talking nonsense." Luolengo said impatiently.

Tasca frowned and said solemnly: "What I don't understand is that such a big thing happened in Lorenzo and the Imperial Capital. Why didn't Allen and the others notify you as soon as possible? In addition, they deliberately avoided it when they mobilized the army last night. Several military camps where you are located."

"Besides, if I didn't have some news in the imperial capital, you might not know all this until this morning."

"Even the Laurent family didn't give you a word."

Luolongo's mood immediately sank after hearing this, but Allen and the others seemed to be quite sincere in their attitude towards him...

After thinking for a while, he felt that he shouldn't delve into the details. The results were more important.

"It's understandable that the incident happened suddenly. After all, no one can be sure whether my father has really passed away. To be cautious, Allen and the others must put Medes' safety first to protect the territory."

Tsk, quite good at making up excuses, Tasjia lowered his eyes slightly and nodded slowly.

"What you said makes sense, maybe I'm worrying too much,"

"Now that they have recognized your inheritance rights and handed Medes' lord seal and military seal into your hands, they must sincerely regard you as their master."

"Congratulations, young master, you got what you wanted."

Luolongo breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he felt bad again when he heard Lord Yin and Jun Yin.

He frowned and said, "Alan and Jimin haven't given me the two seals yet. Maybe they were busy in the morning and didn't have time."

Tasca was a little surprised, but he gave it up and couldn't go too far in fanning the flames.

"It's getting late, let's go have a meal."

Lorengo agreed, but his mood was not as good as when he came here.

When a seed of doubt is planted, it only takes a little bit of soil to take root and sprout.

……

"What, are you on a diet? Eat so little?"

Morton Dougal looked at Mei Li who was not eating well at the dinner table with some doubts.

Meili looked in a trance and lost her mind. Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment and replied: "Maybe it was because I was too worried and didn't get a good rest last night."

"Someone broke into the palace yesterday to assassinate him. Were you scared?" Dougal asked.

Meili frowned slightly. Although the man was masked last night, she could still tell that he was the priest who had entered the palace to treat Qingtian before, and that his purpose was to save Yina.

It's just that Yina was possessed by Tasril's puppet psychic power and it was inconvenient to take her away.

Later... he probably went to the dungeon to save people.

It is very likely that this person was sent by Qingtian...

There were many things on Meili's mind, and she said calmly: "Fortunately, the assassins didn't come to my side, but the battle was very fierce at the time, and I was a little frightened to see it."

"That's good, you can tell me if you have anything." Dougal looked at his sister's haggard face with worry.

Meili has changed so much. She used to be proud and confident, but recently she often appears depressed and melancholy, as if she has infinite worries.

This may be related to the transformation of His Highness the Third.

There are very few dedicated people in the royal family. Even though Lan Zetong has been very dedicated to Meili in the past year, His Highness has changed a lot after this trip to Sadara. His attitude towards Meili sometimes makes him, an older brother, Very uncomfortable.

Dougal took a deep breath. Sometimes he really wanted to tell Meili: If you don't want to get married if you're not happy, don't get married. But as the current head of the Morton family, he couldn't say anything.

"Meili, don't be too burdened. You can usually do things you like to please yourself. Love is not everything in life."

Meili looked at Dougal with complicated eyes, "Can you really only care about yourself?"

"..."

Dougal was speechless for a moment.

Nobles like them can never only care about themselves. The innate sense of family honor and mission is like a shackle. They have to shoulder the responsibility to enjoy the family's gifts.

If the family fails, what awaits them may be cruel strife and cannibalization.

Just like now, after his father retired due to illness, the Morton family is no longer as strong as it used to be, and the family is not as harmonious as before.

Perhaps it was because of this that His Highness lost the respect he had for Meili.

"Sorry, I just want you to be happy, brother, I will try my best." Dougal lowered his head to suppress the guilt in his eyes.

Meili reached out and patted the back of his hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine. How are my father and mother? I haven't contacted them recently."

"It's not good, but father wants to see you get married..." Dougal said in a low voice.

The tip of Mei Li's nose was sour, "Come soon, we will definitely see it. Let mother pay attention to her health."

"Okay." Dougal changed the sad topic, "Your Highness, do you have anything to do at noon? We agreed to have lunch together."

Meili was slightly embarrassed, "He didn't get any rest last night. He was too tired and fell asleep just now."

"In addition, he asked me to ask you if you are willing to be a local administrator. Ketia, Knedi, and Fesko are basically in the hands of the royal family now. He needs capable administrators."

Dougal pursed his lips and said, "Administrative officers in various places are appointed by local lords. If I go, I don't know if I will be recognized by the other party."

Meili whispered: "Brother, Your Highness wants to gradually eliminate local lords..."

Dougal was startled and looked at Meili blankly.

He didn't expect His Highness to be so bold.

The lord system is the basic national system that Lanze has always maintained, but the existence of lords has advantages and disadvantages.

Especially in recent years, the royal family has been weakened. The lords did not pay tribute according to the rules at all. Coupled with the uncontrolled expansion of private armies, the territory became a state within a state, threatening the rule of the royal family.

For thousands of years, many civil wars were caused by lords spying on higher powers, or by royal families suppressing lords.

"You must be careful about this matter. Your Highness needs to think more about it. Besides, why would His Highness think of me? I am from the Morton family after all..."

Meili interrupted him and said sadly: "Because the family has declined."

Dougal was suffocated and unable to refute.
