On the way back to the city with the large army, Will felt that it was too slow.

But after looking at Selena beside her, she finally said nothing.

After all, this is a large army. In order to keep the formation unchanged and save physical strength, it is impossible to charge without any scruples like when I came alone.

Otherwise, if you face a battle after going back and rush back all the way, how can you fight?

But I feel so slow and I don’t know what’s wrong, so I always scratch my head along the way.

Of course Selena had observed his appearance, but she just smiled and didn't say anything, thinking that sometimes Nitia was right.

Some people really look like monkeys.

...

After a while, one of the people in charge of the investigation came back.

"What's wrong?" Quincy next to Selena asked.

"I met someone and said that I was sending a message to Lord Brave for the Palace Prime Minister."

Quincy turned his head and looked at Selena, and after she nodded, she ordered: "Bring it here!"

"Miss Aypascar, the person in charge of sending the letter to the palace..." Will turned his head and wanted to say something.

"Don't be anxious!" Selena interrupted with a smile, "Let's see what's going on first."

After a while, the person in charge of sending the message was brought to Selena.

After the visitor dismounted, he knelt in front of Selena on one knee, "Sir Brave! This is the letter from the palace prince to me to pass on to you!"

Selena waved her hand, and Quincy dismounted and took it and handed it to him.

I opened the envelope and looked at it. The content on the letter said that His Majesty has passed away. Now, Selena, as the guardian of the Casg Empire, should go back to guard Hesler immediately to prevent accidents and so on...

After reading it, Selena handed the letter to Will and asked with a smile, "What should you do if you think this is done?"

Will took it and looked at it, raised his head and said, "No, you made an appointment with the eldest prince..."

"Well, indeed!" Selena nodded, then turned her head to Quincy and said, "We probably haven't seen any sending letters along the way, right?"

Quincy was stunned, then nodded quickly, "Yes! I haven't seen it before!"

"Very good!" Selena nodded, gently knocked her horse's belly and walked forward first.

"Eh?" Seeing Selena walking past her, the person who was half kneeling on the ground was responsible for delivering the letter raised his head with confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Sorry, brother, you are not very lucky!"

Turning his head and seeing that Quincy had already walked in front of him, the next moment he drew out his long sword and slashed it down with one sword.

...

Seeing the head landing, Will turned around and looked at Selena with a smile on his face.

I don't know why, but I couldn't help but tremble.

Many times the contrast can often make people feel extremely surprised.

If Selena was a murderous style from the beginning, then no one would be surprised to see this scene.

But Selena's image is usually just and simple, and she is the kind of person who actively strives for lofty ideals.

But now such a light sentence made the messenger's head fall, and this strong sense of contrast made Will feel uncomfortable.

"Is there anything on my face?" Selena asked with a smile on her face.

"Uh..." Will was stunned, then shook his head wildly, "No, no..."

………………………………………

When he got home, Nitia opened the door, looked around and nodded. It seemed that no one was searching his home.

Sure enough, those people still knew that their home was not comfortable and could search randomly, otherwise they would not blame themselves if they died.

However, it is still unclear what is going on in the palace now, so I can only wait for the other party to take the move first.

The only one who can be called an opponent is Gong Xiang, but no one can support the eldest prince.

In other words, if Selena's troops and Hesler's Imperial Guards are not in good condition, they will fight.

But this is not a problem to go its separate ways. Those people cannot be Selena's opponents.

But I am not sure if the palace star has any backup plan now, so this is a more troublesome thing.

Nitia's hand did not reach Gong Xiang's house, so she didn't know much about his next move.

However, she believed that Gong Xiang could not be her opponent. In any case, the next person to ascend to the throne would be Sano!

…………

During this period, Hessler was very quiet, but it was precisely this quietness that made people feel uncomfortable.

Kennan waited at home for three days. Yesterday the queen sent him a letter, asking him to fully handle the matters of the next emperor.

As a mother, she actually tends to let the eldest prince ascend the throne.

Because among the four sons, only the eldest and the third son were born to her, and the rest were born to the concubine.

But his personality is completely different. The third child eats, drinks and has been causing trouble since childhood.

The eldest son Seno is a filial mother. No matter what good things are, they will be sent to her as soon as possible, and they will often come to her to chat and listen to her nagging.

But she also felt that the next emperor could not be judged by such things, and she had no education, so she handed over this matter to her husband's confidant, Kainan.

Kennan, who received this letter, was equivalent to having an imperial edict. Whoever the next emperor was completely his own words.

But for some reason, Kennan always feels something is wrong now, but it is hard to say what is wrong.

Until another day passed, in the evening, Kennan sat in his study and finally realized something was wrong.

The person who delivered the letter to Selena has not come back yet!

If Hesler is riding a horse alone, he will go to Yinguang City to exchange for two horses and come back. Three days is enough for one round trip.

But now it's the fourth day and haven't come back yet, so there is obviously something wrong!

In addition, if her guess is correct, Selena should be the one who assassinated the church member.

If so, everything makes sense.

Selena is not enough to compete with the entire church alone, so she needs the power of the royal family!

As long as she can help Sano ascend the throne, she will definitely get more troops and greater power.

If she assumed that she cooperated with Nitia at this time and helped the Honeysuckle family take over the Casger Empire...

Thinking of this, Kennan's whole body was covered with goose bumps!

"Come!" Kainan slapped the table and stood up.

"Sir!" The servant pushed open the door and entered the study.

"Send someone to control the Burton family immediately!" Kennan ordered, "and then secretly imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial Guard!"

"This... are you talking about the family of the brave? Duke of Burton?" the servant asked a little incredible.

"Go quickly!" Kenan urged, "quickest speed!"

"As for order!" the servant agreed and ran out.

Kennan sat on the chair again, leaned against the back of the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart.

If my guess is correct and Selena really forms an alliance with Nitia, then where is the point of breaking the deadlock?

After all, if these two people form an alliance, the harm caused will definitely be unimaginable!

One is the first alchemist of Casg and the other is the first master of Casg. Once these two people unite, they are not able to compete with the power of ordinary people!

So we must find ways to find conditions that can restrict them!

Kennan squinted his eyes and thought, then sighed helplessly, picked up the quill next to him and started writing.

After a while, I wrote a letter and put it in an envelope and sealed it with fire paint.

"Come!"

"Sir!" The servant pushed the door and walked in.

"Send two people!" Kennan picked up the letter in his hand and handed it over, "One went to help me pass a message to the priest Lyon of the church, and said that I wanted to invite him to dinner. The other... go and send this letter to me to the devil Dikao! Remember, if you encounter Selena's troops on the way, bypass it! Don't have any contact!"

"Abide by the order!"

Although I don’t know why the Gong Xiang wanted to send a letter to the Demon King, as a servant, I knew what to ask and what not to ask, so I immediately took the envelope out.

…………

Late at night, Nitia sat in front of the window, enjoying the butter cake that Selena gave her.

Looking at the crescent moon outside, which was about to be covered by dark clouds, Nitia felt a little curious. She had already told herself the recipe, but why did the taste of the one she made was different from that of Dikao?

Although the ones you make are not bad, they do not have the taste that Dikao makes.

"Is the sugar ratio wrong?" Netiya said to herself.
