Emperor Fire

Jacklas kept stroking his beard until Ciro showed up, as a way of expressing his nervousness.

From the beginning of the martial law of the empire, he knew that something was going to happen, so when Ciro appeared in Aldu City, he sent people to pay close attention to the movements of Van Riel.When he heard that King Castaron II had passed away, he had already packed his luggage and waited for Queen Samantha to summon him.Unlike the Danya and Richard families, the Trozzo family left the imperial capital shortly after the wedding of Castalon II and Queen Samantha in order to avoid suspicion. It will arouse the suspicion of other forces.But a few days passed, he did not wait for the order summoned by Queen Samantha, but instead waited for the news of Queen Samantha's sacrifice.

It all happened too fast for him, unbelievably fast.If there is anything that makes him feel a little real in the pile of bad news, it is that the crown prince with half of the Trozzo family blood is still there.

"Uncle." Xi Luo pushed open the door and came in with a listless expression.

Jacques stood up in a hurry, "Your Highness." His attitude was completely different from that in Aldu City that day, because he had seized the supreme authority of the empire and became the most honorable man in the empire.

A faint smile appeared on Ciro's tired face, "How is Alducheng?"

Jacklas said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is fine. I brought a lot of craftsmen and food this time, and I think His Highness should need it."

Xi Luo nodded in relief and said, "The imperial capital needs it too much."

Jacques said: "What happened in the imperial capital is really shocking, Queen Samantha..."

Ciro said sadly: "Fate made the tragedy come in an unexpected way, and we are powerless."

Jacques said, "Can your Highness tell me what happened?"

Shiro raised his eyes.

Jacklas suddenly felt that he had gone too far.This young man is suffering unimaginable blows at this moment. His father and mother passed away one after another in a short period of time, but he has no time to immerse himself in the pain, because his country is facing various difficulties and must rely on his hands and shoulders braced up.

"Father and mother's funeral will be held together the day after tomorrow." Ciro said, "I think mother will be very happy that you came to see her off in person."

Jacklas lowered his head, his eyes flushed slightly.Although Samantha will always be the queen and niece in his mind, the relationship between them is not without affection. "I brought the things your mother used during her lifetime. I think that after suffering such a big disaster in the imperial capital, maybe some things are no longer there, and you will need them."

"Thank you." Ciro stepped forward, and when Jacklas was surprised, he reached out and hugged him tightly.

Jacques quickly came back to his senses, hugged him with his back, and couldn't help shouting: "Siro... Your Highness!" His sanity quickly returned.

Ciro hugged him, his body trembling slightly, and a surprised cry came from his throat.

The sockets of Jacklas' eyes couldn't help but become redder, and he held his hand a little harder.

The door was knocked twice, and Keane said outside the door: "Your Highness, Galen is back."

Ciro let go of his hand slowly, quickly turned his head to look out the window, took a deep breath after a while, turned his head and said, "I see."

After all, Jacques is the real power figure of the Trozzo family, an old fox who is as famous as Murdoch and Hopkins, and this time is enough for him to clean up all his emotions.He wisely said to Xi Luo: "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

Shiro nodded.

Jacklas bowed and walked out of the room slowly.Before going out, he took a special look at Keane.He certainly knew this person, Mrs. Rachel's confidant back then, and was once listed as the fifth most difficult person by the Trozzo family, second only to Castaron II, Mrs. Rachel, Barnett and Hussein.Why is this person here?

He quickly turned his head around this question, and immediately heard Xi Luo say in a calm tone: "Let him in." He was slightly startled in his heart, as if he understood something, but quickly hid this understanding in Stomach, calmly walked slowly along the corridor towards the door.

Although Gallon is still the captain of the crown prince's guards, but this time he came back from a mission, so he had to go through Keane's report before entering the door.

Ciro sat on the sofa with a calm expression, as if it was a completely different person who was crying with Jacklas just now. "Any good news?"

Gallen said: "Yes, it's just good news and bad news."

Ciro said, "Listen to the good news first."

Gallen said: "Magistrate Hyde suggested that we freeze Otis first."

Ciro frowned, "It sounds like your bad news is much worse than the good news."

Galen said: "Magistrate Hyde believes that if we can't find a way to wake him up within seven days, we should freeze him, because his life will be exhausted at any time."

Ciro asked Keane, "What day is today?"

Keane said, "Ninth day."

Ciro stood up suddenly, "Is there no news about Hussein?" Hussein was sent out to find Montella's whereabouts before.

Keane shook his head and said, "No."

Ciro pondered: "Is it dangerous to be frozen?"

Gallon said: "Yes. Frozen may cause death."

Ciro's heart sank, "Can't it be avoided?"

Gallen said: "Smart water magicians can properly reduce the risk."

Ciro said: "The holy water of the Society of Light should be able to maintain Otis' life."

Gallen said: "Magister Heidein has also considered this point. He said that the holy water may last for half a month to 20 days."

Ciro tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, and said after a long while: "Please Vincent stay in the palace for a long time, and prepare to freeze Odis at any time. Galen, you go to Hussein, and you must catch Monte in the shortest possible time." pull!"

"Yes!"

Coming out of the meeting room, Shiro quickly walked towards the bedroom.Soso was still lying on the bed waiting for him. Although he had heard far more bad news than good news so far, when he thought of Soso, he felt that the world was not completely hopeless and dark.

Seeing that the bedroom was getting closer and closer, the door opened suddenly, and Frank pulled Soso out in a hurry.

Shiro stopped in his tracks, "What's wrong?"

Suo Suo said while running: "Otis' breathing is getting weaker and weaker."

Shiro's heart tightened.

Seeing that he was running too slowly, Suo Suo simply used wind magic to sweep the three of them downstairs together.

Frank originally came to look for Ciro, but because Ciro was not there, he made the best move to pull on Soso.At this moment, he urgently needs someone to stand by his side, even if he can't do anything, it's better than him facing this powerless situation alone.

Ciro came to the bedroom where Odis was, and found that Murdoch was there.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Suosuo." He behaved very calmly, not at all like an old man who was about to lose his grandson.

Siro said, "How is it?"

Murdoch looked down at Otis's sleeping face, and said softly: "Sometimes fate will lay out a road full of thorns for us, and no one can stop it."

Frank rushed to Otis, grabbed his hand, and roared, "As a magician, how can you not even have the mental strength to support yourself!"

Ciro said: "Kean has already gone to find Vincent, maybe he will have a solution."

Murdoch was silent.

Who knows that this is just helpless comfort under helplessness.If Vincent really had a way, he wouldn't wait until now.

Seeing that everyone was in such a sluggish state, Ciro repeated what Galen had told Hydein.

Frank said with red eyes: "Since the holy water is useful, we can pour a little more holy water into him! Didn't it mean that it can last for half a month to 20 days? It's only nine days now."

Murdoch said: "Otis has a weaker constitution than the average person. He just looks strong and powerful."

Frank held Otis's hand tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, he would lose him completely.

Suo Suo whispered: "Then is there anything we can do now?"

Ciro thought for a while and said, "Let Vincent come quickly."

Soso flew out towards the open window with a whoosh.Ciro thought of his bare feet, and secretly reminded himself to prepare a few more pairs of shoes for Suo Suo in the space bag in the future.
