Capítulo 1351: Chapter 524: About to Set Out
Daphne had already begun to regret it.
She regretted why she had rashly written a letter to Yang Ming.
Firstly, she could not be completely certain that Yang Ming was Hanton.
Secondly, the current situation was chaotic. If she did nothing, she could rely on her influence among the Empire’s civilians and the deterrent power of the White Ghost to safely get through this period. However, if her risky move was discovered, it would surely lead to…
Daphne was sowhat unable to comprehend why she would make such a rash decision.
She had only t Count Revell a few tis, and impulsively chose him as the ssenger upon hearing that Revell was the White Ghost’s ‘follower’.
If Revell reported the letter, the Empire’s old monsters would quickly find out that she was the one behind the operation.
Daphne sat in a corner of the rest area within the Antenna Organization’s command center and sighed lightly.
Anyway, what’s done is done, there’s no need to be too pessimistic;
It’s better to think about how to respond to any possible upcoming dangers.
Knock, knock, knock.
The alloy door of the rest area was gently knocked upon.
Daphne felt a bit tense, but she quickly adjusted her expression and calmly watched the door of the rest area.
“Please co in.”
The door was pushed open, and the middle-aged maid ‘History Teacher’ entered with a tired expression, nodded slightly to Daphne, and sat on the sofa beside her.
“Ah…”
This director of the Antenna Organization was quite exhausted at the mont and spoke in a low voice:
“Your Highness, what exactly can we do?”
“You’re too tired,” said Daphne, “go rest for a while.”
“It’s not possible to rest for now.”
‘History Teacher’ said softly:
“Even if His Majesty chooses to remain silent, we have to sort out this information for him, and also, Daphne, we must now ensure His Majesty’s safety.”
Daphne nodded slightly, gazing at the distant table, sowhat lost in thought.
‘History Teacher’ stared at the crack of the door in a daze.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet and harmonious.
“Do you have sothing on your mind, Daphne?” ‘History Teacher’ asked softly.
Daphne spoke gently: “When I was little, you taught many principles, but now I suddenly realize, these principles are correct, yet fewer and fewer people adhere to them.”
‘History Teacher’ chuckled: “You are inherently kind, Daphne, unlike . I lost myself long ago; now, I am just a pawn of royal power, the Emperor’s envoy. Only by attaching myself to this great tree can I find the aning of continuing to live.”
“The Antenna Organization under your leadership has grown to its current scale,” Daphne said, “which is an achievent that most Empire officials find unattainable.”
“It’s not an achievent, Daphne.”
‘History Teacher’ smiled bitterly.
She slumped on the sofa, a finger pressed against her temple, with her eyes gradually brightening.
“I have always pinned my hopes on His Majesty, hoping he would stand up to rectify the Empire’s governance, to suppress those imperial relatives, but this has always been my wishful thinking.
“And the things I want to do are rely to make feel that I’m still alive, that my life has so aning.
“When we perceive the world, we habitually take our logical thinking as the world’s operating logic. But, in fact, the world’s logic is an objective law for individuals, and each individual’s influence on existing rules is very limited.
“That’s the case with His Majesty.
“His Majesty has indeed tried many tis but continuously hit a wall; every punch landed in the air and he sank into the mire. Gradually, he has lost the urge to strike again.
“Just like now, Director Eno is continuously holding etings, with more and more erging nobles standing behind him.
“But they are always at a disadvantage. Those Conservative Party mbers, I an those elites of the Sherman family, who are naturally dead but have uploaded their consciousness to the server, continue to hold the Empire’s military and finance.
“If His Majesty doesn’t stand up, how can he fight against them?”
Daphne leaned back in the chair, pondering carefully: “Can’t you persuade my father?”
‘History Teacher’ simply replied: “His Majesty is asleep.”
Daphne could only smile bitterly.
“Tell , Daphne, wouldn’t it be great if the White Ghost could return at this mont.”
‘History Teacher’ said softly, as if dreaming:
“A storm is brewing within the Empire.
“The colossal defeat at the Wind border has placed us in absolute crisis.
“If the White Ghost could show up and call upon everyone, directing all the arrows at the Sherman family, the energy of this storm within the Empire would be directed at those decaying old figures, and the Empire could usher in a new birth.
“But it seems like the White Ghost already knew the Empire was about to face the current situation, disappeared after that explosion, deliberately diverting attention from His Majesty’s speech when he appeared last ti… I’ve been studying the actions of the White Ghost lately, finding that many of his moves have a certain purpose.
“Sotis I wonder, does the White Ghost want to beco the new Emperor of the Sherman Empire? If he’s planning to initiate a massive reform, why hasn’t he acted yet at this critical mont?
“If he does act, he’ll beco a spear, and we, too, can see more variables and hope.”
“Your words are sowhat dangerous,” Daphne reminded, “although this is our headquarters, caution is still necessary.”
