Emperor Fire

The queen mother is definitely not a person to be used by others.

For this, Shiro is very clear.But behind this clarity, there are too cruel facts hidden.He stood there, watching Castaron II whining and complaining, and suddenly he began to envy this man whom he looked down upon before.It may be much easier to live in such a pure and stupid world of imagination than to face reality.

"What on earth are you here for?" Kasdaron II finally recalled this question.

Ciro came back to his senses, and rarely smiled at him and said, "Come and see you."

"What?" Kasdaron II looked at him warily.In his cognition, men are far more terrifying than women.On the one hand, his dislike of Xi Luo came from the blood of the three major families flowing in him, and on the other hand, it came from the fact that he, like himself, was a man who was qualified to inherit the throne.So he tolerated the various behaviors of Queen Samantha, but he couldn't stand Ciro's confrontation, because it made him feel threatened by the throne.

Ciro lowered his eyelids.No matter what the truth is, it is impossible for them to return to the relationship of father and son.The rift of so many years has widened into a chasm, an insurmountable gap between them.Even if he lets go of his knots, they can't let go of their suspicions.He said indifferently: "It's been a mess outside recently, you have to take care of yourself."

Castaron II narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing his defensive expression, Shiro turned around without a word.

"Stop!" Castaron II rushed over, wanted to grab his hand, then shrank back with some scruples, and said coldly, "I am your father, the ruler of the empire! I hope you firmly Remember this and don't do something you regret!"

Ciro stopped in his tracks, turned his head and asked, "Other than the three major families, who is the enemy you want to deal with the most?"

Castaron II said: "What?"

Ciro asked self-deprecatingly, "Is it me?"

Castaron II frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" There was a little guilt in his words.

Ciro grabbed the doorknob with his hand, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you're provoking or lying, you'd better listen to them as the truth. Don't trust the queen, or Mrs. Rachel, and protect yourself." He With that said, he turned the doorknob and walked out.

Castaron II stood behind him, his cheeks flushed like pearls under the influence of alcohol, his eyes struggled between blurred and sober, as if trying to find a clue.

"His Majesty."

A gentle voice sounded from his right side.

Castaron II turned his head and saw Mrs. Rachel standing there with a smile, her light brown hair completely down, fluffy like a cloud.The way she looked at him was so focused, as if he was the only man in the world.His confused mood was suddenly relieved, and Ciro's words were thrown behind him, "Is Hall okay?"

Mrs. Rachel's eyebrows showed a touch of sadness, "He's not in a good mood."

Kasdaron II snorted dissatisfiedly: "Useless things, when you encounter some small setbacks, you hide in your mother's arms and cry. Next time you encounter this kind of thing, you should lock him in a dark room and let him go." He cries and fusses a lot instead of spending the night with him like an unweaned child."

Mrs. Rachel gently took his arm and replied softly, "Okay."

Castaron II felt a little more relaxed.No matter why Ciro came here today, at least it didn't make him unhappy as usual.

Mrs. Rachel followed him into the house, closed the door behind her back,

Castaron II walked to the sofa, bent down to pick up the wine bottle, filled the glass with wine, and muttered, "The last glass to greet the new students."

A ray of light suddenly passed from the direction of the door and sank into his body.

Castaron II only felt his heart constrict, as if being grasped by an invisible hand, and slowly squeezed tightly.He opened his mouth wide, trying to shout something, but he could only make a gurgling sound.

He turned his head hard, trying to find a familiar figure, but his vision became more and more blurred.The back was pressed tightly tightly, and a pair of arms gently encircled him, supporting his slowly sliding body.Mrs. Rachel's sweet voice like a silver bell coaxed softly in his ear: "It will be over soon. Soon."

Castaron II grabbed her arm suddenly, his flushed face was raised upwards, and his eyeballs pressed against the eyelids and almost popped out of their sockets.He opened his mouth wide, his lips were trembling, his tongue was wriggling, trying desperately to say something.

Mrs. Rachel's heart softened slightly, and she put her ear to it, "What do you want to say."

"Sa...Sa, Saman..." Every word was uttered with great difficulty.

Mrs. Rachel looked pitifully at the empty wine bottle on the table.She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I'll tell her that you love her."

Castaron II's eyes slowly turned white, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little, and the hand holding her arm fell weakly.

Mrs. Rachel hugged him, and gently kissed his forehead, "But I won't tell you, she is the one who wants to kill you."

The sky suddenly darkened.

Ciro looked back at the palace under the dark clouds, and got into the carriage without looking back.

Sitting in the carriage, Vincent crossed his legs and said, "Don't you want to use his power?" Even if he was suppressed by the parliament, Castalon II was the emperor after all.As long as Ciro stepped forward, he would soon be able to break free from this unfavorable situation.

Ciro said: "He is a good enemy, but he is definitely not a likable comrade in arms."

Vincent said: "What are you going to do now?"

Ciro closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Go back to the academy."

Vincent raised an eyebrow.

"Send Suosuo away first."

The carriage turned and galloped in the direction of the Royal Academy of Magic.

On the other side of the street, dozens of horses came galloping.

The leader is the confidant of Castaron II, Barnett, the dean of the Royal Knights Academy.

Hall followed closely behind him, the once-fitting knight outfit was being loosely put on him, and the long sword hanging around his waist seemed to pull him off his horse at any moment.

Behind Barnett are all students of the Royal Knights Academy.Before coming, Barnett had already thought of an excuse, a drill.A royal exercise.He believes that this excuse will definitely get the acquiescence of Castaron II afterwards.This was the only way he could think of.Since the council handed over the Van Riel guards to the queen, he has been blocked from the gate of the palace.This is intolerable to him.

At present, the crown prince is missing, the emperor is under house arrest, the imperial capital is under martial law, and the entire empire is in the hands of a woman from the Trozzo family. This is absolutely intolerable to him!

"Your Highness." Barnett slowed his horse slightly as he approached the palace, "Your Highness, there may be a bloody battle then, you must hide behind me and protect yourself."

Hall was full of thoughts, and he didn't realize it until he said it a second time, and nodded absent-mindedly.

Barnett sighed.

"Dean!" The mentor of the Knight Academy who was sent out to investigate suddenly rushed back on his horse. "The palace has been surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Many court magicians are at the door."

Barnett's complexion changed, "The court magician?!"

Could it be that Queen Samantha is really planning to imprison the emperor for life and not hesitate to fight him head-on?

The many crises lurking in the imperial capital made the Royal Academy of Magic also gloomy.

When Ciro returned to the villa, he saw Olivia walking down the stairs.

"Aunt Olivia." His heart sank.In the relationship with Queen Samantha, he has always ranked Olivia second only to himself.If you remove yourself, Olivia is undoubtedly the closest person to Queen Samantha.

He thought of Suo Suo who might still be asleep, and his heart tightened instantly.

"You're back from the palace." She walked down, preoccupied.

"Yes." Shiro took two steps back cautiously.

Keane suddenly appeared at the stairs, between Olivia and Ciro.

"Kean?" Olivia stopped in her tracks, frowning slightly.

Keene kept his eyes fixed on her, his hands on the hilt of his sword in a defensive stance.

Gallon dodges in front of Ciro.

The battle seemed imminent.

"What are you doing?" Vincent appeared at the door with a smile on his face, his eyes circling between Olivia and Ciro, "Waiting for me?"

Shiro felt chills down his spine.

Because he found that among all the people present, he couldn't tell the difference between the enemy and us.

Galen was sent to him by his mother, Keen was from Mrs. Rachel, Olivia was her best friend, and Vincent...he was pursuing Olivia.

"What are you doing?" The same question will have different effects when asked by different people.Soso walked down the stairs in his college uniform, stopped behind Olivia, and said softly, "Dean, please."

Olivia glanced at Keane.

Keane slowly let go of the hilt of his sword, and took several steps back.

Olivia walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down in one breath.

Suo Suo walked down behind her, and was grabbed by Shi Luo.Suo Suo looked at him in surprise, because he found that his hand was shaking slightly when he held her.

"What are your plans?" Olivia asked, leaning back on the sofa, with her back to Ciro.

Ciro asked back: "What is the queen mother's plan?"

Olivia's lips moved.On the way here, she really had the urge to tell the whole story about it, but when she really came here, she felt that she couldn't say it.That, after all, was his mother, her best friend.

"She...may have her own plan." She said slowly.

Shiro's pupils shrank.

Olivia tapped her fingers impatiently on the sofa, stood up again, turned around and looked at him, and said, "What is your goal? To defeat King Castaron II, or..."

Ciro said calmly: "Empire."

Not the throne, but the empire, the whole empire.

Various emotions flashed in Olivia's eyes, and finally they all settled in those light brown pupils glowing with pale gold, "I will protect you." Samantha has her choice, and so does she.

Shiro was slightly moved.

Olivia said: "The Royal Academy of Magic was established by the Castaron family, and it will always be loyal to the royal family."

"You...do you already know something?" Shiro asked tentatively.

Olivia was silent.

Ciro's heart pounded heavily on his chest.At this time, silence is more cruel than acknowledgment.Because it shows how hard it is to tell the truth.
