hunting light

Louis is only three years younger than Raphael, and he is already a middle-aged man in his nineties.He is sophisticated, smooth, and ambitious. Although he is not smart and steady, he can be regarded as an experienced politician who has seen all kinds of troubles.

However, at the moment when he heard his mother admit that he was the legal heir, he still couldn't help but feel like a boy who was only eight years old when he heard that he could finally go to the amusement park he had dreamed of. ecstasy.He almost jumped up screaming.

at last!

He knew from a young age that his father discriminated against the gender of his eldest brother Raphael's male Omega, and was critical of him in every possible way.He is the most ideal heir in his father's mind, but because he is the second son, he can only miss the crown.

He always knew in his heart that he was not destined for the throne, but he still couldn't help demanding himself by the standards of an heir.

He married a well-born wife and raised his children to be cute and cute.He has a good public image and is close to politicians.He figured out what his father was thinking, and tried his best to match what he liked.He even spared no effort to smear Raphael.

Of course the emperor knew what the second son was doing, but he kept turning a blind eye, and would only give a few words of warning when Louis made too much noise.

In the past, Louis did not think that his father's connivance meant that he had the possibility of ascending the throne.On the contrary, the emperor knew that no matter how the second son made trouble, he could not threaten the status of the eldest son.Louis even felt that he was just a tool his father used to hone the prince.

He was frustrated and angry about it.Until his mother told him that his father really wanted to pass on the throne to him!

"That rumor... is true!" Perhaps out of shame, Queen Iris buried her face deeper, "Raphael's birth certificate was revised. He was born a week prematurely. On the third day after his birth, your grandmother Carter Queen Linna approved me to marry your father."

No matter how bragging about the love between Felix and Queen Iris in the royal publicity draft, it can't change the fact that Queen Iris' mistress is in power.

Felix's first wife was a maid-in-waiting whom his mother, Empress Caterina, was very fond of.In order to please his mother, Felix married the countess as the princess.

It's a pity that this lady has a strong personality, and she staged Star Wars with her husband at home when she disagreed with each other, tearing it apart.

Felix then met Baroness Iris, who had just entered university and worked part-time as a graphic model.

One was fed up with his wife's uselessness and wanted to find a gentle haven, and the other was naive and soft and wanted to find a wealthy husband-in-law as his ultimate goal in life, and the two hit it off.

And Felix, like all men, attaches great importance to offspring.So after Iris was pregnant with the eldest son, Felix decided to divorce and marry another, so as to give the eldest son a decent background.

The Countess is not an easy character to get rid of.She deeply felt that she was tricked by the second prince, and she deliberately delayed the divorce because she wanted Felix's eldest son to be born as an illegitimate son.

In the end, Queen Katerina couldn't stand it anymore, and intervened to dissolve the marriage of the two before Iris's due date.

The outside world has been speculating that the crown prince's birth date was too coincidental, and maybe he was not born in wedlock.Although Louis joked about this rumor, he didn't expect it to be true!

"It's only three days..." Queen Iris was very annoyed when she mentioned this matter, "However, according to the inheritance law..."

"Only children born during the reign of the queen and princess have the legal right to inherit the title!" Louis's eyes lit up, "Raphael is not the legitimate child of you and your father! I am! Therefore, I should be The real Crown Prince!"

Queen Iris nodded painfully.

"Oh, Mom, you've been hiding it from him for so many years..."

"Because he is our eldest son, we love him." The Queen said, "But now, your father is very disappointed in Raphael."

Queen Iris was lying on the prayer rug, and her voice was a little muffled, so Louis had to lie down with her buttocks pouted, so as to hear what she was saying clearly.

"Raphael couldn't understand your father's painstaking efforts to forge him. Instead, he was full of resentment towards him and envied you. After knowing that his illness was poisoned, your father's heart was broken. It is serious for the crown prince to do such a thing. Raphael is no longer worthy of that crown. So my father asked me to call the elders to abolish Raphael. But Raphael moved first. Louis, if you start now Go out the gate, and you will see that there are all guards outside. They have all taken refuge in Raphael and no longer listen to the emperor's command. We are now under house arrest!"

Louis straightened up abruptly, looking around in panic.

Of course, there were only three members of their family in the bedroom, and the emperor was still deeply in a coma.

Louis's chamberlain and the queen's maid were left outside the suite, probably not even knowing what was going on inside.Even if they knew, they would not be able to deal with the armed guards with their bare hands.

wristband!

Louis hurriedly opened the bracelet, but then found in despair that the signal was blocked.

"What should we do, mother?" Louis was momentarily bewildered, "Should we let Raphael continue like this?"

"of course not!"

Only three hours had passed since the emperor fainted, but Queen Iris' performance made Louis look at her with admiration.

This woman has been jokingly called the "Royal Vase" even in the eyes of her children. She is cowardly and has no opinions. She shrinks into her shell like a snail when encountering any trivial matter.At this important moment of the change of imperial power, she finally showed her perseverance and bravery hidden in her weak body.

Louis was greatly moved.Motherhood can really make a woman stronger and reborn.Lewis suddenly felt guilty for neglecting and underestimating his mother for years.

The queen said: "Raphael now knows that you are the orthodox heir. After he takes the throne, it will definitely not be as simple as sending you back to the fief. He will destroy you, my Louis!"

Louis was cold all over: "Yes, mother. I think so too..."

Even if it were him, he would not let a person who could threaten his throne be let go so easily.

The queen stuffed a small thing into Louis's palm: "This is the chip that Dr. Hassan copied to me. It contains evidence that your father was poisoned, and Raphael's original birth certificate. With this, you can send The court and the church applied for a ruling on the right of inheritance. But not now. You are unprepared now, and you cannot confront Raphael head-on. You must flee now and leave the imperial capital!"

Louis thought so.

Once Raphael finds the elders and confirms that the emperor is incapacitated, it is very likely that the emperor will be forced to abdicate.According to the law of succession, the moment the emperor abdicated, Raphael automatically ascended the throne as the new emperor.

The first thing Raphael will do after he ascends the throne is probably to order Louis to be arrested.After all, Louis has spared no effort to offend his brother for so many years, and Raphael already has a thick pile of bills to settle with him!

"Raphael will kill you!" the Queen whimpered, "Your father, for the sake of the throne, assassinated his elder brother Adam! Brotherly brotherhood is the poison that flows in Coleman's blood pressure. As long as you threaten To the throne, Raphael will kill you without hesitation."

Louis turned blue and was sweating coldly.

But the entire bedroom, and even the entire Champs Palace, have been controlled by Raphael.How should he escape?

The small sitting room off the emperor's bedroom has been converted into a treatment preparation room.Two male paramedics are waiting outside.

The bell rang, and Queen Iris' voice came from the communicator: "Please come in a nurse."

A male nurse walked into the bedroom with a nursing box.

The queen was standing in front of the bathroom with the sound of running water, with an uneasy expression on her face: "Are you feeling better, Louis, why are you vomiting so well? Oh, can you go and see him? Prince Louis seems to eat Something is wrong."

The male nurse immediately walked into the bathroom.

The queen stood outside the door when she heard a heavy sound coming from inside.After a while, Louis, who had changed into the clothes of the male nurse, came out.

The light in the room was extremely dim, and neither mother nor son could see whose face clearly.

"Mother……"

"Bless you, my son," said the Empress, walking to the Emperor's bed and pulling out an oxygen tube.

The alarm that the emperor's life was in danger was a linkage device. At the same time, the alarms in the bedroom, the preparation room, the duty room, and the guard post all rang, and the half floor fell into panic in an instant.

In a small room on the first floor, Daniel also faintly woke up to the siren.Sang Xia was fiddling with the wine in the wine cabinet in the house, picking out all the spirits.

"What's going on?" Daniel questioned, "Where am I? What's wrong with me? What's this sound? I just... what did you do to me?"

"Don't worry, your chastity is still with you. Oh, vodka!" Sang Xia pulled out the cork without looking back, and happily poured the transparent liquor down the corner of the wall.

"And thanks to me, you are also fortunate to experience this great change of power in the empire!"

Raphael and the Duke of Oran were discussing what to say to the elders in a smoking room later, when the siren sounded a bit pleasant to Raphael.

If the emperor himself died early, he would be able to ascend the throne smoothly without any effort, which is simply a blessing from heaven.

Dr. Hassan rushed into the emperor's bedroom with nurses and assistants, and the captain of the Imperial Guard arrived with several guards.

A male nurse helped the queen, who was about to faint from crying, to back away again and again, all the way to the corner.The wall slid open a gap soundlessly, the man slipped in, and the wall closed again.

Dr. Hassan thought that the emperor's organs failed suddenly, and he was about to die before he could make it to the operating table. After a lot of work, he found that the oxygen supply tube was just loose!

Felix IV, who had resumed his oxygen supply, breathed a sigh of relief, and his vital signs rose again.He slowly woke up from the coma, with an oxygen tube inserted in his mouth, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

"You can't talk yet, Your Majesty," Dr. Hassan said. "Don't worry, we can operate on you tonight. By this time tomorrow, you'll be out of bed and walking in good health!"

Felix's brain took a while to process Dr. Hassan's words, his eyes widened suddenly, his whole body was trembling, and he desperately wanted to sit up from the bed.

Dr. Hassan and the nurse hurriedly held him down: "You can't get excited now, my lord! Your heart can't bear it!"

It took a lot of effort for everyone, and Dr. Hassan had to inject a small amount of sedative to the emperor to calm him down.

The captain of the imperial guard breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Your Majesty, where is His Royal Highness Louis?"

The queen was crying happily beside the bed, and casually pointed to the bathroom.

"He said he had an upset stomach, and he vomited for a long time after going in. I also asked the nurse to go in and see him..."

After all, the captain of the imperial guards had rich experience, and immediately changed his color, and kicked open the door of the bathroom.

There was only one nurse who was knocked out and stripped of his clothes and fell to the ground.

The chief attendant of the Eastern Palace rushed into the smoking room before he could knock on the door, his face looked like he had just seen a ghost.Raphael's heart sank, and the hand holding the cigar trembled unconsciously.

"What's the matter with this alarm?" The Duke of Oran yelled anxiously, "Is something wrong with the emperor, or Leon? Are they starting surgery?"

"No, the emperor fell ill again and has been rescued." The attendant responded very quickly, "Your Highness, can I have a private chat with you?"

"Is there anything you can't say in front of me?" The Duke of Oran said with a gloomy face, "Raphael, since you need my support, I also need you to be open and honest with me and share all the information. Otherwise, I How can I trust you and put the fate of my son and my whole family in your hands?"

Raphael made a decision at this moment, and made a show of color to the attendant.

The attendant said: "Prince Louis...he just left the bedroom."

Raphael's face twitched violently as if he had been slapped.

And what the attendant said next made him jump up straight: "We went to pick up a few elders and reported that just half an hour ago, a few of them were already in rhythm by the people sent by the palace. I guess In about ten minutes, the chief justice, the prime minister, and the clan elders have all arrived at the Champs Palace."

Raphael barked like a dog whose tail had been chopped off: "It's my father! He lied to me!"

"I don't understand." The Duke of Oran's bewildered expression was very realistic, "Is uncle not sick?"

"Of course he is sick!" Raphael gritted his teeth, "But he knew that I would force him to abdicate while he was sick, so he counted on me!"

"I don't understand." The Duke said, "Uncle really wants to undergo this perverted operation, right? It won't do his reputation any favors if this happened."

"I suspect that he intends to blame me for the operation!" Raphael rushed towards the emperor's bedroom suite, burning with anger, "I must see him! No one can stop me!"

"Raphael, calm down." The Duke of Oran yelled, watching the attendant chasing him out, bent down and threw the half of Raphael's left cigar into the wine glass before following him.

At this moment, the dormitory suite was also in chaos like a nest of ants exploding.

Every palace has a safe passage that only the royal family knows and opens.Louis apparently escaped through this passage.

Queen Ayres didn't know anything when she asked three questions, and she burst into tears after asking two more questions, and the emperor would cry to death even if he was panting.Even if the captain of the guard suspected that the queen had let Louis go, he didn't dare to interrogate him without authorization.

He was in a state of desperation, and his subordinates reported that the prince and the Duke of Oran were going to force his way in to see the emperor.

The captain of the guard had previously received instructions to pretend to obey the command of Prince Louis and put Louis under house arrest when facing Prince Louis; to pretend to be under the command of the emperor when facing the Duke of Oran and not allow him to see his son.

Such precision has made this soldier who is used to only carrying out a single order very dizzy.

Now the plot of the prince bringing the duke to break through the level is completely out of the script and belongs to impromptu play.The captain of the imperial guards couldn't keep up with the progress at all, and was completely dumbfounded.

If the prince wants to see the emperor, of course he can let him go.But with the Duke of Oran around, he should stick to it.

The captain felt that his best way to deal with it was, of course, to block it for a while, and then pretended to compromise with the future prince and had to let it go.In this way, the needs of the prince are met, and it is not necessary to show off in front of the duke.

So when Raphael rushed into the door like a burning meteorite, he was faced with strong resistance from the imperial guards.The string in his mind snapped, and he only thought: the guards were also arranged by his father!I was completely fooled!

So when the Duke of Oran caught up with him leisurely, he saw that Raphael was arguing with the Imperial Guards, as if he had lost his mind.The attendant couldn't hold back when he was beside him.

In the chaos, the Duke of Oran looked at the time on the bracelet.At this moment, it is less than 10 minutes before several heads of state and government arrive at the Champs Elysees Palace.

Raphael's people went to pick up the empty space, this cannot be faked.Louis had just escaped for less than 5 minutes, let alone this time.Then who will make the first move and make this move?

The Duke of Oran looked at the door at the end of the corridor.

Inside the gate, Queen Iris, who got rid of the entanglement of the guards, walked quickly into the preparation room outside the operating room.

"When will the operation be performed?" The queen was quite impatient, "His Majesty the Emperor is about to be overwhelmed."

"We have encountered a problem." Dr. Hassan took the photon board from the assistant's hand in fear and confusion, "I don't know which link is wrong. The data of this donor is completely inconsistent with the previous ones!"

"How is it possible?" The Queen disagreed, "You must have made a mistake."

"We have repeated the test three times." The assistant said, "The genetic connection between Earl Wilman and His Majesty the Emperor is negligible. There is only a little blood relationship between the two!"

"Nonsense!" The queen reprimanded lightly, "You can tell by looking at the face that this child is the emperor's cousin and grand-nephew!"

"The data is absolutely correct!"

"Is there a problem with the data that was originally sent?"

"But can the surgery still be done now?"

Several medical staff were discussing with their photonic boards in their hands, completely unaware that the blond young man on the operating table behind him opened his eyes and sat up.

Dr. Hassan didn't realize that something was wrong until he was grabbed by a huge force and fell against the wall.But the huge impact immediately made him faint.

The two assistant physicians didn't even have time to scream, they were hit by the back of the head with both hands, and they fell to the ground with nosebleeds profusely.

Just at this time, the little nurse walked into the operating room and took a deep breath.

Leon jumped up and flew over.

Queen Iris made a sudden move, slashing the little nurse's neck with one hand, and firmly caught the operating tray dropped by the nurse with the other without making a sound.

Leon landed in front of Queen Iris, stopped abruptly, and stared at the disheveled woman in confusion and shock.

The queen glanced at the young and fit body, and suddenly smiled and blew a whistle.

"The capital is quite strong, young man!"

Leon: "..."

The Queen grabbed a surgical gown and threw it over.

"The plan has changed, and there is still work to be done!" She still spoke in the voice of Queen Iris, with a decisive and capable tone.

Leon quickly wrapped up the surgical gown, like a vigilant wolf.

"I think you may recognize this." Queen Iris took out another thing, "I found it on the floor of the emperor's bedroom."

Leon's pupils shrank suddenly - that was the origami lily he gave Ian!

"Your priest is missing, it should be Felix's hands and feet." The queen walked towards the emperor's bedroom quickly, holding up her long skirt, "If there is a hostage in his hands, our next actions will be very troublesome. La Phil is about to rush in. How soon can you do it?"

Leon followed her into the bedroom, stood by the bed, and looked at the emperor.

Felix understood everything when he saw his wife walk in with Leon.His whole slack cheeks were trembling violently, and his throat was grunting, as if he wanted to laugh, or growl, whichever expression he couldn't make now.

"I only need 3 minutes." Leon said slowly, staring at the emperor, he picked up a needle from the bedside.

"Okay, I'll give you 3 minutes!" the Queen said, "Don't kill me."

She left quickly, heading towards the direction of the quarrel outside the suite.

Leon sucked a tube of liquid medicine into the needle, sat on the edge of the bed, and took off the breathing mask on the emperor's face.

"Now," he pointed the needle at one of the Emperor's eyes, "please tell me, Your Majesty, where is Father Mitchell?"
