In the early morning of the next day, when Cromway got off the shuttle, there were majestic Corinthian columns on both sides, and the magnificent palace came into view.

Cromway has a withdrawn personality, so apart from the Allengar Legion, the rest of the ministers in the court have little contact with him, so Cromway has very little time to enter the palace to participate in the parliament.

However, the empire issued a document clearly stipulating that on the 15st and [-]th of each month in the ephemeris calendar, ministers of rank five and above must participate in cabinet meetings, enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and report to him the relevant matters and arrangements within half a month.

After so many years of development, the administrative system of the Langman Empire has been very complete. Because the officials perform their duties, and there are special agencies behind them to supervise, it is not easy for officials to compete with each other.The clarity of the bureaucratic system is also the reason why the Langman Empire was able to develop rapidly and rise to become the largest country in the interstellar world.

The current emperor of the Langerman Empire, Freddy Owen, has been on the throne for more than ten years and nearly 20 years. During his reign, because the situation in the Langerman Empire has gradually stabilized, he has not done much military affairs. Outstanding achievements, but the performance in business is very impressive.

Over the past ten years, under the leadership of Freddy, the empire has opened up five commercial routes to other planets, and has reached commercial cooperation with almost all neighboring countries, which has greatly promoted the commercial development of the empire, and also Let the empire have more money to spend on scientific education and military strategic layout.

After stepping into the front hall and bowing to Freddy to salute, the ministers reported to him one by one the situation within half a month.The beard and hair of the man sitting on the throne has turned gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead and cheeks reveal the traces of time.

After reviewing all the official documents uploaded to the optical brain, Freddy glanced at the courtiers standing respectfully under the stage, and stayed for a while longer on the tall and straight young man in military uniform in the front row. , a pair of dark blue eyes similar to his revealed a gentle gaze.

"Marshal Cromway, I've read the strategic layout plan you submitted to me, and it's done very well."

Freddy spoke slowly, his approval was beyond words.

"Being loyal to the empire is my duty as a subject."

Facing the emperor's praise, Ke Lunwei looked calm, but neither humble nor overbearing.

Seeing that Cromway's expression was still indifferent, his icy blue eyes seemed to be frozen, he couldn't see any emotion, and he always only dealt with business affairs. There was a little regret on the old man's face, but this regret was overwhelmed by his face. Covered by the tired face on the face, it quickly disappeared.

After reading the ministers' memorials one by one, Freddy waved his hand. He propped his forehead with one hand, with a deep tiredness on his face.

"If you have nothing else to do, let's end the meeting."

All the ministers were silent. During the conversation between Cromway and His Majesty just now, they all felt an invisible chill, as if there was an invisible wall of ice lying between them, and the surroundings seemed to be covered by ice and snow.

But what is strange is that, for some reason, the king, who has always been aloof, lowered his stance and intentionally showed his favor to Karenway, but the famous Karenway still has the appearance of being soft and hard and not being close to strangers .

Just when everyone couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, they all fell silent like quails and refused to touch the emperor's reverse scales, but Morris spoke, took a small step forward, and then bowed respectfully to Freddy.

Morris is Freddy's youngest son. He also has a twin brother, but he is unable to participate in the government due to disability. Therefore, although Freddy hasn't made a will yet, Morris has become the king in the eyes of all the courtiers. sole legal heir.

Maurice was dressed in a crimson palace dress with black and gold patterns, his gloves were white, his long silver hair was combed properly, and he looked polite, so he liked Freddie very much, but his Her eyes followed her mother's, amber-like yellow-brown.

"Father, my son has something to report to you."

"what's up?"

Seeing his younger son who was close to him approaching, Freddy's face softened.

"The envoy of the Kingdom of Baik said that he would terminate the commercial and trade cooperation relationship with us."

As Morris said, he glanced at Cromway who was standing beside him without any trace, but the latter's expression was still the same as usual, his jawline was as sharp as a knife, revealing his arrogance that strangers should not get close to.

"why?"

Freddy frowned. Although the Kingdom of Bac was far away from them, so the commercial trade with it was not a rigid target, but one more ally was better than one more enemy.And I don’t know why, the Baike Kingdom is obviously a country on land, but some time ago it suddenly sold marine specialties, because it is very strange to the residents who live on land all the year round, so there are many customers, and it is famous for it. The rise attracted the attention of the Langman Empire.

When the envoys of the Baik kingdom came to see them earlier, they were very respectful and clearly expressed their intention to open up business. How could they suddenly backtrack in such a short period of time?

Freddy knew very well that something must have happened to cause the other party to temporarily break the contract.

"You might as well let Marshal Cromway speak to you personally about this matter."

Morris spoke modestly, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Cromway beside him, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes.

Freddie frowned upon hearing this.

"Just say what you want to say. It doesn't matter whether you or Marshal Cromway say it."

"Yes, Father."

Morris cleared his throat, glanced at Cromway with his slender eyes, and then slowly:

"I didn't want to bother you because of these trivial matters, but after all, you entrusted me with the business matters with the Kingdom of Baik this time. I am worried that if I don't talk to you, I may delay my work. Therefore, I think After thinking about it, I feel that this is not a matter of my son alone, but also closely related to the entire empire, so I decided to report it to you and leave it to you to judge."

Seeing his father frowning tightly, although Morris said so on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.After all, this can prove that the father is interested in this business, and if he is disturbed because of Cromway, his image in the heart of the father will definitely decline because of this, and he can suppress Cromway and reap the rewards profit.

Thinking of this, an imperceptible sneer curled up on the corner of Morris's mouth.

Looking at the postal package received from Morris in his optical brain, Freddy frowned more and more. He looked at Cromway standing on the main hall, but the latter still looked calm.

"Marshal Cromway, please explain what's going on."

Looking at the video projected on the virtual screen in front of him, Cromway did not hide or refute, but admitted generously.

"Yes."

As soon as Cromway said this, there were instant boos around.

All the ministers present here do not know that the opening of trade routes has always been the thing that His Majesty is most passionate about. As a result, the contract that can be reached immediately, but because of Kerenway's personal reasons, failed. This is not to fan His Majesty. face?

Therefore, after hearing this sentence, all the officials present couldn't help but change their expressions, but they were watching their noses and noses, and they didn't want to be implicated by it.But Cromway himself was quite calm, stepped forward and said slowly:

"Prince Lindsay of the Kingdom of Baik is His Royal Highness Karl's ex-boyfriend. It can also be seen in the video that he pestered Karl first, and then I took the initiative to protect him."

"Heh, Marshal Cromway, I respect your meritorious deeds, but you can't squander everyone's trust like this?"

Morris sneered when he heard the words, and he took a step forward, his eyes were like two sharp knives, straight at Cromway.

"What we all care about is not your family's short-sightedness, but the impact this incident will have on the empire! And if even those of us in high positions take the lead in harming the interests of the empire, then the common people will follow suit. , so how can the foundation of the empire be maintained?"

"After the marshal returns home, maybe he should take good care of his omega and teach him what the rules are."

Morris said in a high-sounding manner, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

When Cromway heard this, for the first time a crack appeared in his originally indifferent expression, and the eyes he looked at Morris also froze.

"Your Highness just said that this is my private matter and has nothing to do with Your Highness."

Cromway's expression was calm, but it was as if frozen.

After finishing speaking, Cromway saluted Freddy who was sitting on the throne respectfully.

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the empire has just issued a series of laws to protect the rights and interests of omegas, including laws related to self-defense. It is precisely because these provisions protect and respect human rights that they are highly regarded by the people." Praise, and all I have done is to practice the law, not to violate the law of the empire."

"Smart words! You also have to see who you are beating up? You will harm the interests of the empire by doing so. Could it be that your omega is more important than the interests of all the people in the world!?"

Maurice raised his voice, his eyes fixed on Cromway, eyes that seemed to breathe fire, and his tone that seemed exasperated with excitement.

"Your Highness, there is no high or low in the law, and there is no high or low in the people. Even though Lindsay is a foreigner, and he is a foreign noble, but he stands on the land of our empire, so he must not bully the people of our country."

Seeing Morris staring at him with red eyes, Cromway stared at him with a serious expression, like a solemn ice sculpture.

"Because he is a foreigner, we must let him abide by our laws in our kingdom, so as to warn everyone."

Cromway paused every word, with an extremely serious expression. All the ministers present seemed to be shocked by his expression, and they were too trembling for a moment to speak.

"Cromway has a point."

Freddy's serious expression just now softened after hearing Cromway's eloquent words, and there was faint approval and appreciation in his eyes.

"Whether it is a native or a foreigner, we should abide by our laws on the land of our empire, and we must not allow them to insult the people of our empire."
